In Konoha, Ashura Chakra is dropped at the beginning.

Chapter 180: The Destroyed Outer Statue
Thousands of huge wooden hands and fists as big as mountains bombarded the earth continuously for several minutes.

During these few minutes, the entire Rain Kingdom suffered a strong earthquake.

In addition, due to years of rain, many old and dilapidated buildings collapsed.

The Cloud Ninja troops and White Zetsu clones that were closest to the Thousand-armed Avalokitesvara, as well as the animals in the Land of Rain, could not even stand steadily. Only a few ninjas with good chakra control were able to stabilize their lower body.

Even the surrounding earth had a large number of cracks appearing in the violent earthquake. If it weren't for their quick reactions, many people would have fallen into the cracks.

Looking at the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara who was obviously far away and yet seemed very close, the Cloud Ninja troops and the White Zetsu clones were all stunned.

"Wood Release... Can Wood Release be done to this extent?"

White Zetsu, who shared the White Zetsu clone's sight and information, couldn't help but tremble.

"This is the secret of Wood Release that Hashirama Senju used to create the Valley of the End."

Black Zetsu, who also shared the information from White Zetsu's clone, said in a deep voice.

Back then, he witnessed with his own eyes how Hashirama Senju used this secret technique of Wood Release to defeat Uchiha Madara and the complete Nine-Tails's powerful Susanoo.

If Hashirama Senju had not shown mercy and had not thought of killing Uchiha Madara and the Nine-Tails at that time, this secret technique of Wood Release would definitely have been enough to stop Uchiha Madara from using Izanagi.

Because this is an indiscriminate attack over a large range, unless one possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, or Uchiha Obito's Kamui Hollow, no matter how one flies or dodges, one will not be able to avoid the astonishing barrage of bullets formed by thousands of huge wooden fists as big as mountains.

Each wooden hand contains amazing fairy chakra, and the power of each punch is stronger than the Tianai Zhenxing.

"Nagato is not dead, is he?" Bai Jue couldn't help but worry: "If he is dead, will his Samsara Eye be destroyed?"

"He didn't die that easily."

Black Zetsu said without any worry, "The Outer Path Demon Statue has recovered initially, and Nagato's body functions have also returned to their peak. Since he can use so many abilities of the Outer Path Demon Statue, he should have discovered the hidden space inside the Outer Path Demon Statue, which is where the 100,000 White Zetsu reside."

"As long as he hides in time, the defensive power of the Outer Path Golem should be able to help him resist most of the force, but..."

Before he finished the last sentence, Black Zetsu fell into silence.

Because of Yin-Yang Escape and Spirit Possession, White Zetsu also knew what Black Zetsu would say next.

Although Nagato is likely to be fine, the same cannot be said about the Outer Path Statue.

Of course, what Black Zetsu was worried about was not that the Outer Path Statue would be killed.

Although the Senpo Wood Release: True Thousand Hands is powerful and is an SSS-level ninjutsu on the same level as the Truth-Seeking Ball, this jutsu still has not reached the level of the Bloodline Net. No matter how destructive it is, it cannot kill the Outer Path Demon Statue.

After all, chakra is something that comes from the chakra fruit produced by the sacred tree, and then it is spread by the "Chakra Ancestor" who first eats the chakra fruit and distributes it to others.

As a Ten-Tails body that can awaken several bloodlines once absorbed, the Outer Path Demon Statue, which has not yet recovered the nine tailed beasts, is equivalent to a super weakened version of the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, with powerful immunity.

As both are SSS-level ninjutsu, even if the Truth-Seeking Ball's self-destruction can emit a white light and explosion that can destroy everything in the universe, it may not be able to cause the same damage as the Senpo Wood Release·True Thousand Hands·Top of Buddha.

After all, the Dao-Seeking Jade causes magical damage!
But the Senpo Wood Release: True Thousand Hands: Buddha on Top is completely different, because this move contains two abilities that can hurt the Ten-Tails. One is the natural energy of this planet, and the other is the physical attack power that can rewrite the map.

Although this move cannot kill the Outer Path Statue, it is very likely to destroy the Outer Path Statue that has not yet evolved back to the Ten-Tails.

Once the Outer Path Statue is blown up, even if it can recover, it will consume a large amount of chakra and will be in the weakest state.

Just like how Uchiha Obito stole the power of the tailed beasts from Uchiha Madara's body, and after Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was sealed, the nine tailed beasts broke out of her and Uchiha Madara's bodies.

When the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and the Ten-Tails continued to die, its chakra was severely depleted and it entered an extremely weak state, the nine tailed beasts, which had been separated into independent individuals with self-awareness by the Six Paths Sage using Yin-Yang Release, had the opportunity to escape from the Ten-Tails' body, allowing the Ten-Tails to turn back into an Outer Path Demon Statue.

This is what Black Zetsu is worried about.

If the Outer Path Demon Statue was blown up, it would be equivalent to breaking the container that sealed the eight tailed beasts, and the eight tailed beasts that were sealed with great difficulty might escape.

At that time, if Yagyu accidentally killed one of the tailed beasts again, the best opportunity that had been waiting for a thousand years would be delayed for a few more years.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu suddenly said in a cold voice: "Go and give Orochimaru an ultimatum. If he still perfunctorily refuses, then we will give it a try."

"Are you sure?" Bai Ze asked, "Which plan do you want to start?"

"All!" Black Zetsu said in a deep voice.

Uchiha Madara is the best chess piece to perform Infinite Tsukuyomi. As the owner of the second pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world, he is also the best sacrifice for his mother's resurrection.

In order to resurrect Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu prepared several plans and formulated several plans.

The best one, of course, is to be as Uchiha Madara expected, for Nagato to use the Reincarnation Technique to truly revive him.

At the same time, Nagato was performing the Rinnegan Technique, and without half of his body being kept alive by Hashirama's cells, even if he didn't die immediately, he would be extremely weak. Even if Uchiha Madara didn't leave a curse seal in his heart, he could easily retrieve the Rinnegan.

By then, Uchiha Madara will be in his true prime and will be able to use the exclusive eye techniques of the Rinnegan.

Just like the devil fruits in the world of pirates, there must be abilities that restrain each other.

Any technique in the Naruto world has attribute restraint and mutual restraint, even Yin Dun and Yang Dun ninjutsu are no exception.

Uchiha Madara, who only has the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, can never be a match for Senju Hashirama no matter how hard he tries.

Because of Hashirama Senju's attributes, he was completely restrained.

The terrifying chakra of the sage body not only enables Hashirama Senju to have the ability to heal himself without a seal, but also to freely activate the sage mode and directly ignore the illusions of the Mangekyō Sharingan level.

If he only had this sage body but no bloodline limit, then Hashirama Senju, who was born in the Senju clan, could only use chakra bursts and various ninjutsu to fight Uchiha Madara on equal terms, repeating the fate of Ashura and Indra of past generations.

His sage body and sage ninjutsu can only correspond to Uchiha Madara's Susanoo and exclusive eye techniques at most.

But unfortunately, Hashirama Senju is the strongest reincarnation of Ashura in history.

His strength is even stronger than that of Otsutsuki Ashura, the second son who needs the Six Paths Sage to pass on his power.

Facing Hashirama Senju who possesses Wood Style Kekkei Genkai, Uchiha Madara, who is also the most outstanding reincarnation of Indra in history, fully interprets what is the Naruto version of "Since there is Yu, why is there Liang?"

Moreover, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is already the limit of Indra's reincarnation.

In order to suppress the reincarnation of Ashura, which has also reached its limit, the reincarnation of Indra must surpass its limit.

To surpass the limit, one must either receive the teachings of the Six Paths Sage like Ashura Ōtsutsuki, or seize Ashura's chakra and achieve the unity of the two poles.

Uchiha Madara, who is about to die of old age, is an existence that has completed the unity of the two extremes. As long as he is fully resurrected in the state of golden age, he will be an existence that surpasses Senju Hashirama.

Even if Yagyu could also use Hashirama Senju's strongest Wood Release technique, he would definitely not be a match for Uchiha Madara.

In front of the Rinnegan which is even more bizarre and powerful than the space-time ninjutsu, he wouldn't even be a match for Uchiha Madara.

Therefore, Black Zetsu's worst plan was to take advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Nagato and control Nagato to perform the Reincarnation Technique.

In this way, the body of Uchiha Madara hidden by Orochimaru will be resurrected instantly.

Even if the resurrected Uchiha Madara did not have the Rinnegan, or even no eyes, he could easily kill Orochimaru in seconds.

In front of the Shura of the Ninja World and the God of Ninja, no matter if they are the Five Kage, the Three Ninjas, or the so-called demigods, they are no different from children.

But Black Zetsu really doesn't want to use this worst-case plan unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because the consequences are too great!

Although he has never spoken to Nagato at his peak, Black Zetsu, who has lived for a thousand years, can guess that Nagato is wary of them now.

First, he gave Uchiha Obito the Yin-Yang Release, the Black Rod and the Six Paths Technique, allowing him to gain an equal status with Nagato.

Now he is giving Uchiha Madara's method of staying alive to Nagato, and also reveals the magical effect of White Zetsu's clone to help him recover his legs.

Not to mention Nagato, a powerful man who was superior to the Five Kage, even a young person like Deidara could guess that Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito's understanding of the Rinnegan far surpassed that of itself.

Apparently, Nagato might have figured out that he wasn't the true owner of the Rinnegan.

The fear and vigilance towards him and Uchiha Obito will definitely reach its peak.

Even Orochimaru was able to research a method to discover the robe technique of White Zetsu's clone. Although he has lived for a thousand years, his strength is not actually that strong. He is simply unable to understand Black Zetsu who is in the super-shadow realm. He is not sure whether Nagato can discover the mayfly technique of him and White Zetsu.

If Nagato could find them, then the failure of possession wouldn't matter.

What Black Zetsu is afraid of is that when Nagato is in desperate situation, he will choose to destroy the Rinnegan, so that they and Yagyu will not be able to obtain the Rinnegan and the Outer Path Statue.

In this case, unless the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra of this generation, that is, one of Yagyu and Uchiha Sasuke, complete the reunification of the two poles again and obtain the third pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world, it will probably be a long time before Black Zetsu can resurrect his mother.

Black Zetsu cannot afford the consequences of this worst-case scenario, nor does he dare to do so.

Because he thinks more.

Even if Nagato couldn't find them, Yagyu would definitely be able to find them.

If Yagyu noticed his and White Zetsu's sudden approach, Yagyu would at best attack them, or at worst might snatch away the Rinnegan or even destroy it.

Thinking of that scene, Black Zetsu felt a chill down his spine.

If the Rinnegan fell into Yagyu's hands, even if Uchiha Madara was resurrected, it would be difficult for him to turn the situation around.

Therefore, Black Zetsu plans to adopt the last two options.

Let Orochimaru reincarnate Uchiha Madara through the Impure World Reincarnation. If he disagrees, threaten and force him, or let Uchiha Obito do it.

Or he could give the body tissue of Uchiha Madara that he secretly left behind to Baimao, and let Baimao use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to seize the ownership of Uchiha Madara's body from Orochimaru.

As long as Uchiha Madara's consciousness returns to the real world, the hidden trick he left behind will take effect, and a comeback may be possible.

So, while the other members of the Akatsuki organization were resting, Heibai Zetsu secretly used the Mayfly Technique to escape far away.

But they didn't know that just as they merged with the earth and the grass, moved at high speed with the help of the underground plant roots and underground water, they left the underground base of the Hidden Rain Village in just a few blinks of an eye.

At their original position, the space suddenly twisted into a small vortex.

Uchiha Obito, who had originally gone down to rest, flew out from inside with a distorted figure.

"Ah……"

A sneer suddenly rang out from under the mask, and Uchiha Obito's figure twisted and disappeared again.

At this time, Thousand-Armed Guanyin had also stopped bombing.

Just like how Hashirama Senju blasted the plains into the Valley of the End.

When the dust and fog that covered the sky with astonishing coverage dissipated, a super-large crater that could not be described by a meteorite hitting the earth appeared on the land of the Rain Country.

At the bottom of this huge pit, there was a corpse covered in white mud. It was the heretic golem that had been blown up.

The size of the Outer Path Golem is like a mountain, but it only occupies a small space in this super large pit.

This shows how big this pit is.

Moreover, this is the rainy country, where it rains all year round.

Sooner or later, this huge pit will be filled with rainwater and form a huge lake.

By then, there will definitely be a tourist attraction in the Land of Rain that is as famous as the Valley of the End. In the future, some magazines in the modern ninja world may even rank this lake as the largest lake in the ninja world.

"do you died?"

Yagyu stood on top of the wooden man, looking at the bottom of the pit with his red eyes, looking for any trace of Nagato.

However, his clairvoyance did not allow him to find Nagato's body, and Kagura's mind's eye could not sense Nagato's chakra.

Although he didn't think Nagato could survive this SSS-level ninjutsu that could destroy everything like the Truth-Seeking Ball.

But as the current owner of the second pair of Rinnegan, Yagyu, who believes in fate and destiny, feels that Nagato will not die so easily.

"Hooho..."

At this moment, waves of roars came into Yagyu's ears from bottom to top and from far to near.

The heretic demon statue that was beaten into white mud underwent a strange transformation.
