Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 565 Years of effort are worthless in the face of a natural cheat code.

"Hey! You wretched creature, do you think I'm some stray dog ​​lying on the street?"

After instinctively catching what Uchiha Gin threw at him, Madara Uchiha was instantly enraged by Gin's nonchalant attitude.
He was the Dark Lord of the Ninja World, the founder of Konoha Village, the former strongest knight, and the runner-up in the Land of Fire's children's skipping stone competition.
"I really can't do anything with you. Here are some trial cards for you too."

Hearing his younger cousin's furious shouts behind him, Uchiha Gin, as if dismissing a child, pulled out a white rectangular card box from behind him and threw it over.

"you!"

Reaching out to catch the square card box that was heading straight for his face, Madara Uchiha's eyes nearly blazed with fire.

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush, open it and take a look first."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha frowned. Driven by curiosity, he opened the card box, and his anger instantly subsided by more than half.

"These are Tailed Beast Cards? How do you have so many?"

Madara Uchiha was astonished as he counted the colorful Tailed Beast cards in the card box. The Tailed Beast chakra emanating from each card seemed genuine, not fake.

"I already told you it's a trial card. I'm very busy right now, so you can figure it out yourself."

Uchiha Gin was intently observing the clone's mouth-shaped driver at its waist when he impatiently waved to his younger cousin, signaling him to go away.

"How can it be repaired?"

Madara Uchiha clenched his fist, but the allure of the Tailed Beast cards in his hand was greater. He then abandoned his plan to continue causing trouble for Gin Uchiha and walked aside to carefully examine the white camera and the complete set of Tailed Beast cards in his hand.
Black Zetsu, drawn by the scent of the tailed beasts, followed them over. His eyes gleamed as he stared at the stack of cards in Madara Uchiha's hand, his mouth practically watering; greed was practically written all over his face.

With these cards, Mom is saved.

"Ahhh~"

Kaguya, nestled inside the Uchiha Silver Driver, felt a tickle on her nose and sneezed adorably. After rubbing her sore nose, she looked in puzzlement at the clone possessed by Black Zetsu not far away.

"That guy."

Kaguya scrutinized her long-lost son for a long time with a frown, then a look of disgust tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"It smells really bad."

"Spotted, what is this?"

Unaware that his own mother disliked him, Black Zetsu feigned curiosity and questioned Madara Uchiha, who was examining the card, pointing his gaze to the white camera in Madara's hand.

"This thing should also be a driver, right?"

When Black Zetsu asked him that, Madara Uchiha shifted his attention to the white camera in his other hand, stroking the silhouette of the tailed beasts encircling the circular lens. He said somewhat uncertainly,

The camera's design was completely different from the driver he had used before, but he could deduce from the card slot on top that it was probably for transformation.

"Click!~"

Madara Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then tentatively clipped the white camera to his waist.
Just like the previous driver, a belt suddenly appeared and wrapped around Madara Uchiha's waist, with the card holder positioned perfectly at his side.

"Can I transform again?"

After completing a series of preparations, Madara Uchiha suddenly wore a complicated expression. To be honest, he still missed the big fox that used to chatter in his ear.

"Unfortunately, it's not here."

Madara Uchiha's eyes dimmed slightly as he looked at the Nine-Tails card he took out of the card box. Although the card depicted the majestic Nine-Tails, he couldn't sense any emotional fluctuations from this Nine-Tails.
Is it ultimately just a counterfeit?
Are you prepared to become a destroyer of the world?

Uchiha Gin, who was standing nearby, noticed his older cousin already wearing the driver and immediately stopped his dissection work, asking with great interest,
"What do you mean?"

Madara Uchiha, who was observing the Kasmon, turned cold.
"The price of wearing this driver is to be at odds with the entire world."

The driver that Uchiha Gin gave away was made using fragments of the Six Paths Mazo he obtained for free from Tsukihime.
Although it was only a prototype, it could still utilize the power of each tailed beast, giving it a natural suppressive effect on other tailed beast riders.

"Nonsense! Just remember this: whether it's destruction or salvation, I am who I am, I am Uchiha Madara!"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha wore an arrogant expression. He didn't care what others thought of him, and his actions didn't need anyone's judgment.

Pa~pa~pa~
"Very good, keep up the momentum, I have high hopes for you."

The younger cousin's childish remarks drew repeated nods of approval from Gin Uchiha; these were the words of a true pure-blooded Uchiha.
"Humph!"

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, and was about to say a few more nice words when he noticed a strange fluctuation suddenly emanating from the card box at his waist.

"What is this card?"

Frowning, he opened the card box and found another card inside with a blurry, indistinct image.
Puzzled, Madara Uchiha felt a sudden, inexplicable tremor in his heart as he pulled it out. Meanwhile, Indra, who had been hidden deep within him, quietly opened his scarlet eyes, his cold gaze carrying a rare hint of curiosity.
"interesting."

He slowly rose, cradling a potted green plant nurtured by Ashura's chakra, and vanished into Madara Uchiha's consciousness as a streak of light.
"Since you don't have your own Tailed Beast Card right now, you need to draw out the power hidden deep within your body and pour it into this card in order to successfully transform."

In reality, Uchiha Gin was still patiently explaining the transformation steps to his younger cousin, Uchiha Madara, but he wasn't listening to a word he said. He seemed completely absorbed in the cards in his hand, as if his soul had left his body.
"Staring blankly won't help. If you want to use it to transform, you'll need to practice more."

Just as Uchiha Gin was speaking eloquently, a beam of light suddenly shot out from Uchiha Madara's body and smashed directly into the card he was holding.
"Fuck!"

This scene greatly surprised Uchiha Ginrai, who couldn't help but utter two words that were considered part of the national essence of Chinese culture.

Is my older cousin cheating?

"What did you say?"

After Indra entered the card, Madara Uchiha slowly came to his senses. He had just felt a sudden blur of consciousness, and if he hadn't been unharmed, he would have thought he had fallen under some kind of genjutsu.
"nothing."

So what if it's hanging on the wall?
Gin Uchiha was envious. He had gotten to where he was today entirely through his own hard work, while his younger cousin could reap the rewards without doing anything.

It's true what they say, comparisons are odious.

There's nothing we can do; they have such a wonderful grandmother.

"Now you can transform."

After lamenting the injustice of fate, Uchiha Gin pointed to the faintly glowing card in Uchiha Madara's hand; it contained the ancestral power of the Uchiha clan.
Madara Uchiha then belatedly realized that the phantom image of the card in his hand had disappeared, replaced by a knight he had never seen before.
"Who is he?"

"He is you."

Uchiha Gin nodded slightly. The knight on the card was none other than the Crimson Demon, who wielded the power of destruction. "Is he me?"

Madara Uchiha examined the Rider card in his hand. He had never known that such power resided within him, but judging from the aura emanating from it, this card was indeed intricately connected to him.
"I probably understand."

Actually, he didn't understand at all.

"Try it out, let me witness it."

Seeing his younger cousin dawdling over the card for a long time without inserting it, Uchiha Gin urged him repeatedly.
Madara Uchiha turned his head away, looking at the somewhat anxious Gin Uchiha, a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"I know you're in a hurry, but please don't."

"what!!!"

Just then, a scream interrupted their conversation. Uchiha Gin turned around abruptly and looked towards the source of the sound.
"I'm sorry!"

The dying clone was seen bursting with scorching Tailed Beast chakra, which burned Kakuzu, who had been holding him down, causing him to stagger backward.

Is this the start of the second stage?
Uchiha Gin's gaze sharpened, worried that Jigen might tamper with the clone, so he cautiously refrained from approaching.

"Decade, what's going on?"

Kakuzu appeared beside Uchiha Gin in a flash, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt. His hands, which had been emitting a burnt smell, were slowly recovering, showing that what had just happened was sudden.
"Let's take a look first and then talk."

"Ahhh!"

The clone's screams continued. Uchiha's eyes, hidden beneath his silver mask, transformed into blue Byakugan, searching the clone's body for anything suspicious.
"That is?"

His gaze quickly focused on the driver attached to the clone's waist; he could see that this large, mouth-like driver was currently connecting to other dimensions.
"Oh no, it's going to run away."

That driver, which looked like a giant mouth, was actually alive.

Realizing the other party's intentions, Uchiha Gin didn't hesitate and immediately raised his hand to unleash a palm strike.
"Jie Jie"

The clone's massive maw at its waist emitted a terrifying laugh and began to devour the tailed beast chakra emanating from the clone. Meanwhile, Uchiha Gin's casual Bagua Palm strike was neutralized by the force of the wind emanating from its maw.
"Trying to run away? Did you even ask me?"

Seeing Driver's mouth agape after absorbing a large amount of Tailed Beast chakra, Uchiha Gin's expression turned cold. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged towards the clone enveloped in the Tailed Beast chakra cloak.
"Jie Jie"

Faced with the menacing Uchiha Gin, Driver let out a mocking laugh, and a dark red portal shot out from its mouth. The clone's half-dead body was then pulled into the portal by its suction force.

"Hehehe?"

Just as the portal was about to close, an arm forcefully pierced through the void, grabbing the driver with its eerie, grotesque laugh. The chilling laughter abruptly ceased.

"Since you're laughing so happily, why don't you stay for a simple meal?"

Having successfully torn through space and severed the clone's body, Uchiha Gin said in a mocking tone,
"His!"

The next second, a tearing sound rang out as Uchiha Gin suddenly pulled out his large hand that had pierced the portal, dragging out a blood-soaked driver.

"Gudu~"

Seeing the blood-stained driver that Uchiha Gin was carrying, Kakuzu subconsciously swallowed.
Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu, standing to the side, were also filled with horror.

Of course, they weren't frightened by Uchiha Gin's cruelty, but rather shocked by the power he possessed to forcibly tear through space. They had never even heard of such a feat, let alone witnessed it.

"You're not exactly sturdy, are you?"

Shaking the driver in his hand, which had its large mouth shut, Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow.
"Just who exactly is this guy, Decade?"

Having encountered a clone for the second time, Kakuzu finally couldn't contain his doubts and asked Uchiha Gin, who might know the truth behind it all.

"They're a bunch of guys who specialize in hunting Tailed Beast Riders. If you see them again, run as far away as you can."

After all, the other party had given him a lot of gold coins. Uchiha Gin compared the strength of the prison and these clones, and immediately gave the best advice.
"Hunting Tailed Beast Riders?"

Kakuzu's heart sank upon hearing this. As a lone wolf, unlike other Tailed Beast Riders who had powerful villages as their backing, he feared most being targeted by such an evil organization.
Two fists can't beat four hands. He can't even handle one right now. If two or three come next time, Mako will have to start the feast immediately.

Should we go back and take a look?

Kakuzu frowned, suddenly remembering his former employer who had betrayed him. After much deliberation, he decided to go back and check if Takigakure was still as hopeless as before.

"I should go now. It's a pity I didn't get to see your transformation."

After warning Kakuzu, Gin Uchiha decided to go back and study the Driver in his hand. So he said goodbye to his younger cousin and prepared to make a quick getaway.

"Wait! How much do you know about them?"

Seeing that Uchiha Gin was about to leave, Uchiha Madara became extremely anxious.
He's currently traveling all over the ninja world searching for the kidnapped hot mom, Hasi. The Decade guy in front of him seems to know something about Jigen, and he absolutely can't miss any clues.
"You're too weak right now. They're not enemies you can fight. Protect yourself first."

Uchiha Gin had no intention of discouraging his younger cousin. Although he was strong, he was no match for the elite of the Otsutsuki clan. It was like an alien fighting natives—a clear case of dimensional displacement.

The prison between the pillars is a good example.

Even if you are the number one person below the Six Paths, under the endless tricks of the Otsutsuki clan, you can only offer your neck for slaughter.

"Don't go! Explain yourself!"

Carrying the blood-dripping Driver, Uchiha Gin leaped into the entrance to the Shadow Realm. Uchiha Madara, seeing this, immediately gave chase, but it was too late.
"hateful!"

Madara Uchiha, having missed his target, was filled with resentment.

Since they say he's too weak, then he'll prove his strength with his actions.

"Erzhuzi, let's go!"

Madara Uchiha coldly addressed his henchmen behind him, while Black Zetsu was currently engaged in a rights protection operation.
"Wait, I still need to ask him for my deposit back!"

"Deposit? What deposit?"

Kakuzu, blocked by Black Zetsu, shrugged. In all his years in the business, aside from giving Decade some gold coins, no one had ever managed to take a single penny from him.

Aren't you afraid the platform will blacklist you?

Black Zetsu's face instantly turned even darker than his true form. How dare someone renege on his debt? Believe me or not, I'll haunt your descendants for eight generations!
"Hehe, a refund is out of the question, and compensation is out of the question. I might as well quit. I've already decided on a buyer."
