Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

Somewhere in the ninja world, in a completely enclosed dungeon.

An old figure sat on a wooden stake, with a very smooth crutch placed beside him.

He was barefoot and wore a gray-black robe like a sack, revealing a skinny body. His cheeks were sunken and his lips were dry, making him look like a dying old man. Only his non-mainstream long white hair spoke of his stubbornness in his youth.

This is where Uchiha Madara lived for the last time, and it is also the place he chose for himself to die... Of course, he is not in a hurry to die now.

Well, you could say he should have been dying, but because of a minor intubation operation, he had been relying on "oxygen inhalation" to maintain his life.

Just behind Uchiha Madara, there was another even larger, shriveled figure sitting cross-legged. Its hands were bound with huge handcuffs, so that it was in a strange posture with its forearms clasped together in front of its chest and its palms raised upwards like petals.

The protruding gums and the circle of closed eyes on the forehead indicate that this is a thing that looks terrifying... The Outer Path Demon Statue has been successfully stolen by Madara.

At this time, there was a tube connecting the Outer Path Demon Statue and the back of Uchiha Madara's head.

The Outer Path Demon Statue was originally the remains of its chakra being extracted, and now it was being squeezed by age spots. It can only be said that it was the only one who knew the bitterness best... There was no other way, no one in the ninja world was willing to speak for an old dead tree.

Being able to summon the Outer Path Demon Statue means that Uchiha Madara has finally hatched a pair of Rinnegan. However, if you look closely at his eyes, you can find that what he has in his eye sockets at this time is just a pair of ordinary three-magatama Sharingan.

Of course, Madara didn't expect these eyes to bring any combat power. He just hoped that these eyes could function as normal organs... His current physical condition was no longer able to fight.

His Rinnegan hatched too slowly, and he was so old that he could no longer be expected to carry out the next plan on his own. He had to find agents and pawns to carry out tasks for him and lay the foundation for the final grand blueprint.

At this point, Madara was indeed sure of one thing, something that could be described in one sentence - "I am not good at hatching eggs" or something like that.

But it doesn't matter. A person always has things he is good at and things he is not good at in his life. If Uchiha Madara has made any progress over the years, he has at least understood what patience is.

"I don't have much time left, but I still have to do things one by one..."

The most important reason why Madara is patient is that he already has a "chess piece" who is absolutely loyal, will never betray him, and will never stab him in the back.

He first cut off his own consciousness and created a dark "Black Zetsu", and then used the Outer Path Demon Statue to create several "White Zetsu" with strong personalities.

With Black Zetsu and White Zetsu as his starting points, and supplemented by other chess pieces scattered across the ninja world, Uchiha Madara may no longer be able to charge into battle, but he can become the chess master of the ninja world...

Well, the above are all his purely subjective thoughts and have nothing to do with any individuals, organizations, social groups or real facts.

Although their intelligence levels were relatively close, Black Zetsu was of such noble birth, how could he possibly be a slice of Uchiha Madara's consciousness, a spiritual incarnation? You must be kidding.

To give an inappropriate example, Uchiha Madara is just an old king, and Black Zetsu is a not very loyal eunuch. Can you expect it to execute Madara's orders 100% at this time? It can't even ensure that the orders are true.

However, Madara thinks that Black Zetsu is another version of himself, so how could he possibly betray himself, right?

In this world, only you can truly communicate with yourself.

Uchiha Madara still has a very high opinion of himself. Even though he thinks Hashirama is a little special, he doesn't take him seriously now... Everyone's thoughts are completely on different levels. Madara is the one who knows the ultimate secret of the ninja world and is ready to "create the world" again to bring eternal peace to the ninja world. In comparison, what is Hashirama, who only founded Konoha?

Logically speaking, Madara is not even proficient in Yin-Yang Release, so how can he be so sure that he created Black Zetsu?

Did Nanwa create humans? Doesn’t possessing the Rinnegan mean one has ascended to the Six Paths of Paths and can call themselves a “god”?

Uchiha was skilled in illusions, and it seemed he was also adept at immersing himself in the illusions he had woven. How could one describe Uchiha Madara's mental state at this moment? It should be said that... at least he had convinced himself.

"Madara, if you need pawns, why don't you withdraw the people from the Uchiha site?"

Black Zetsu, riding on a White Zetsu mount, emerged from the shadows beside Madara.

Although the number of White Zetsu is decreasing year by year, it will definitely not drop to the level of only a few or a dozen. The Black Zetsu is just acting here... After all, the number of White Zetsu "created" by Madara is very limited, so they should be short of manpower.

Madara frowned instantly.

Although he "created" both Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, every time he saw the other party sneaking around silently, he had to resist the urge to attack... It was nothing else, this way of sneaking looked familiar and annoying.

"Absolutely not. Don't make me explain it again."

There is still one last glimmer of hope in Uchiha Madara's heart, and no one can extinguish this hope, not even slicing his own consciousness.

He didn't want to talk about this topic, nor did he want to pollute the last inch of pure land in his heart.

"How are my eyes? I must protect my eyes. There must not be any mistakes."

"Don't worry, Afei and the others have been keeping an eye on him... Your eyes are 'evolving' and they are still of some use to Konoha's ninjas."

Afei is an enhanced special White Zetsu, equivalent to the last combat-type Namekryptonian, and it still has some protective capabilities.

As for what Hei Jue said about the Rinnegan evolving, he actually meant that the chess piece was evolving. Under someone's guidance, he had begun to master this power.

Black Zetsu has been hiding in the ninja world for a thousand years. In the final analysis, he has far more chess pieces in his hand than Uchiha Madara, but his chess pieces are more hidden... For example, when Uchiha Madara asked him to choose chess pieces and find someone who can carry the power of the Rinnegan, he found it very quickly.

If you think about it carefully, this task is actually very difficult. The Rinnegan is not a light bulb that can shine wherever you turn it... In fact, with the "power" of this thing, ordinary circuits will be instantly broken down and burned.

"Really? That's great... I don't have much time left, and the support I can provide is limited. I hope he can grow up quickly."

After a brief exchange of words and learning about the latest situation outside, Madara slowly closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

In order to live longer, Ban had to switch back and forth between "energy saving mode" and "deep energy saving mode".

…………

Platycodon City.

the night before.

War is undoubtedly a disaster, but because the front line is outside the border of the Fire Nation, before the disaster, Kikyo City is more prosperous than before... It is just making "war money", which is not difficult to understand.

In an alley somewhere in the city, with a bang, a figure fell onto the brick road.

This kind of falling and fighting is nothing to the opponent, and it can even be said to be a "safe landing."

He quickly turned over and stood up, holding the dagger tightly in his hand, observing his surroundings with extremely vigilant eyes.

The various battle sounds that lingered in his ears had somehow drifted away, and apart from the sound of the night wind, he seemed to have heard nothing unusual.

Only then did he remember what he had experienced before... He escaped from the dangerous battlefield. It had nothing to do with escaping from the battle. He was protected by the power of the Seven-Headed Sharingan.

The person who was "born" from the space-time channel was naturally Uchiha Orikasa who disappeared during the battle of Kikyo Castle.

When he left the battlefield, Uchiha Mata was just a teenager, and after returning to the human world, he was still a teenager... It must be said that due to his age, his experience was quite like "everything is just a dream".

Uchiha Origen was more familiar with the abilities of the Nanami Mangekyō Sharingan, as this was not his first time experiencing this kind of thing. However, unlike the last time, after being thrown into the time-space channel, his consciousness and thinking were also frozen.

Therefore, after returning to the real world, he was not driven crazy by the eternal silence of time and space.

"How long has it been? A week? A month? A year?"

Uchiha Zhijian remained in a half-kneeling position and slowly lowered his arm holding the short sword... No matter how long it took, the war was definitely over.

When he was guessing how long he had been "frozen", he subconsciously hoped it would be shorter. Unfortunately, the more he thought about this, the more likely it was that the result would go against his wishes.

"The Uchiha ninjas should have left. The most urgent thing is to leave here quickly..."

Uchiha Zhijian was still relatively clear-headed. He remembered that this was the enemy's territory and he was alone and could not hold on, so he should evacuate quickly.

However, it is useless to be clear-headed, the environment has changed... Not only Kikyo City is the enemy's territory, the entire Fire Country has become the enemy's territory. Where can he hide?

Uchiha Zhijian briefly checked his body and found that there was nothing wrong, then began to evacuate out of the city.

At first he was very cautious, even feeling that he was afraid of everything, but as he walked, he saw a lively night market.

Vendors are setting up their stalls, and diners are either eating or having a drink.

This kind of worldly atmosphere instantly made Uchiha Zhijian stunned. For some reason, he felt that the whole world became strange, or rather, he felt that he was excluded from this world.

However, there is one thing Uchiha Zhijian can be sure of, that is, he does not need to be so cautious, the surrounding environment is relatively safe.

Brushing off the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart, Uchiha Zhijian thought for a moment, and then went directly to a stall in a remote location of the night market.

"Shopkeeper, give me some noodle soup."

As he spoke, he threw a small golden pan on the side of the vendor's counter, just like an ordinary customer.

"Good customer... Hey, at your age, you're still out here on your own so late? Forget it, I'm going home after finishing my noodles. What flavor do you want?"

Seeing that the customer was quite young, the owner started talking more, but then he saw a pair of scarlet Sharingan.

"The Second Shinobi World War... The First Shinobi World War... The Land of Fire... The Hidden Leaf Village..." Zhijian used illusions to collect as much information as possible.

What could a small vendor know? Just some vague and worthless information. However, even such information had left Uchiha Zhijian dumbfounded.

"The Uchiha joined Konoha? Uchiha Madara was killed after his defection?"

Zhijian felt like his CPU was burned out.

Normally, small vendors don’t know the news about Uchiha Madara... No matter how powerful Madara was, that was many years ago, so why would ordinary people care about you?

But isn't it a coincidence? Konoha has been doing some spectacular things lately, so the story of the battle between the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara has been circulating again.

"Shopkeeper, check out!"

The voice of another customer woke the merchant who was trapped in the illusion. At this time, he had forgotten what had just happened... Hey, why did I get distracted?

"Here it is, 50 taels."

The use of paper money has long been popular in the world, and the speed of depreciation of the "liang" is evident.

Uchiha Zhijian was alone. After leaving Kikyo Castle, he fell into a state of confusion...

On the one hand, he found it hard to believe that the chaotic times had happened forty or fifty years ago, and that even the Uchiha clan was the loser in the chaotic times, with even Madara dying at the hands of Hashirama.

On the other hand, what to do next and where should he go.

"No way, I don't believe it."

Almost subconsciously, Uchiha Zhijian ran towards the former site of the Uchiha clan.

…………

Konoha Village.

What a spectacle, most people don't care at all, even most of the Uchiha clan members just feel a little unhappy, and don't understand the Third Hokage's meaning at all... The Hokage is like winking at a blind man.

The small courtyard where Uzumaki Mito lives.

After his children and grandchildren grew up, Uzumaki Mito, who no longer needed to take care of children, became completely free.

Loneliness was inevitable with age, so she had to find something to do. After retiring as an advisor, her current position made it unsuitable for her to get involved in specific village affairs.

So her attention shifted to caring for and training the younger generation of children of the Uzumaki clan.

She didn't need to worry about the affairs of the Senju clan. Before his death, Senju Tobirama had made complete arrangements for the Senju clan... At this moment, the Senju clan hid themselves in the forest and basically completed their "disappearance".

Uzumaki Mito cares about the younger generation in Uzumaki, on the one hand because it is to "care for the empty-nest elderly and not let waiting become a regret", and on the other hand because Uzumaki Mito's life is very fulfilling, and so far she has only one task that has not been completed - that is to pass on the fox that she has been cultivating for decades.

She has to be prepared. When she gets very old, she may even have to take care of her own funeral.

So, that afternoon, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old came to Uzumaki Mito's small courtyard.

Chapter 237 Accuracy or Not

"Ninja-sama, this is it..."

"I found this when I was cleaning up today. At first I thought it was an ordinary coin, but it turned out to be a gold coin."

"The key point is that I don't know when I received it..."

The next day, when a team of Konoha ninjas were patrolling in Kikyo Castle, a caring citizen reported an unusual situation to the team.

All I can say is that the local people's morale is pretty good, with a sense of close ties between the people and the people... After all, Kikyo City is where Yinghuo started, and some stories, after being told over and over again, can influence social trends to a certain extent.

During wartime, both ninjas and ordinary civilians maintained a high level of vigilance. The fact that this vendor was able to report special situations in a timely manner was also the result of his constant preaching.

It's not surprising that ninjas can collect intelligence from the public, but it's amazing that they can collect intelligence in a timely manner.

"This is... Xiaopan? Jin Xiaopan of the Yuanshi clan?"

The ninja captain took the gold coin and after careful observation, he found that it was an "antique", so much so that he uttered the extremely unfamiliar word "Yuanshi".

At first, the team leader thought that economic crimes had occurred in Kikyo City. Ninja world versions of counterfeit currency or online fraud also occurred from time to time. Such criminal activities were exacerbated during the war. However, the blurt-out "Zonoichi" made him realize that something was wrong.

Coincidentally, the captain of this ninja team is a ninja from the Nara clan... As we all know, Nara ninjas like to fantasize.

The team leader tilted his head slightly, and the other ninja behind him immediately understood what he meant. He approached the vendor calmly.

"This is an ancient coin that cannot be circulated. Thank you very much for reporting it... How about this, we exchange it for double the value? What do you think?"

The team was talking, distracting the vendors.

"Really? I'm so sorry... If something like this happens again, I will definitely report it immediately!"

The vendor immediately couldn't hide a smile on his face.

By exchanging a paper bill of twice the value for an antique precious metal coin, neither party seems to be at a disadvantage.

It’s said that the civilians here have a good relationship with the ninjas. Anyway, the ninjas are paid with public funds, so why not be more generous?

After completing the transaction, the ninja team continued to patrol forward amid the merchant's thanks.
