Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Ban fell into deep thought.

Chapter 274 Madara: I'm Not Human Anymore

The clear, cloudless night sky had no moon in sight, only countless stars twinkling.

With a burst of chakra and the Body Flicker Technique, Madara, who was moving at full speed, finally stopped.

"Having moved for so long, in the ninja world, it would be enough to travel from the south of the Land of Fire to the north of the Land of Earth."

Ban pondered.

"In such a vast area, there is not a trace of a single person; all that is found are creatures never seen before."

Most of these creatures live in water, with only a very few being amphibious.

Logically speaking, this place has a great geographical location, a natural environment no worse than the Land of Fire, and fertile land, making it an ideal choice for settling down.

And so far, he hasn't encountered a single person. Ban has reason to believe that there are no humans on this continent, or rather, this planet, where he is currently located.

"This can't go on like this."

Madara's goal is the Eye of the Moon, the Infinite Tsukuyomi, to sever the causality of the ninja world and create a perfect, ideal world without losers.

To do this, he must first be a living person.

After becoming a living person, one must go a step further and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, possessing the Rinnegan.

These conditions must be met.

"Although this reanimated body possesses the two major advantages of immortality and unlimited chakra, however..."

Ban looked at his right hand, which had a few cracks, and murmured.

"The upper limit is fixed, it's locked, and there's no possibility of growth."

Resurrection, becoming a living person, possessing vibrant life, is the first step in realizing one's ideal.

Even if I lose my eyes after being resurrected, it's still better than this eternally unchanging impure reincarnation.

"Without the Rinnegan, the most perfect resurrection is impossible. We can only tamper with the soul and try to seize another person's body."

"Ideally, we would find a genius with both excellent physique and talent, and take over his body."

"Before taking it, use the chakra of this reanimated body to continuously influence its physique and cause it to change."

"The Sharingan and Rinnegan are the core of the Sharingan and are related to chakra. Therefore, there is a certain probability that I can awaken these two eye techniques after my rebirth."

The reality is that there are no humans on this planet, which directly leads to the failure of this idea and makes it difficult to achieve.

Ban has two choices in front of him.

The first option is to leave this place, search for a planet inhabited by humans, compare different options, and finally choose a suitable body.

The complete Susanoo can fly.

The Rinnegan in the Impure World Reincarnation state, with its attraction and repulsion, allows one to travel through the universe.

Immortality, the ability to not eat, drink, or sleep, is the most advantageous condition for traversing the universe.

The second method is to use whatever is available, any decent-looking creature, to complete the rebirth.

The former is undoubtedly the best choice, but its drawback is that the time required is uncertain.

If you're lucky, you'll encounter humans within a week or two, and that should be enough to settle things.

Bad luck, unable to find any humans, and even more so, encountering Naruto or some other uncontrollable danger on the way.

"Time, there's not enough time." Ban tapped his fingers, his brows furrowed.

If it weren't for Naruto being an unstable factor, he would definitely choose the first option.

There are no "what ifs" in reality; circumstances forced him to leave no room for delay.

Thinking of this, Ban sighed, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and then his gaze became firm.

So what if he's no longer human? As long as he's alive, as long as he has life, as long as his potential isn't limited and he has the possibility of growth, he will definitely become stronger and achieve his goal.

You can lack strength, but you must never lack self-confidence. Self-confidence is the essential foundation for breaking through limits and turning the impossible into the possible.

Having made his decision, Ban plunged into the vast ocean without hesitation to search for the largest and strongest creature on the planet.

In the process, he pondered and thought about how to transfer his soul and seize the target's body.

"Is that what you want? You'll die!" Standing on the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance, Obito remained silent for a moment before speaking.

That was clearly an active volcano in the middle of an eruption, with scalding lava gushing out like blood and volcanic ash shooting straight into the sky.

Even though we were still far apart, the air was already making it hard to breathe.

The Ten-Tails roared, eager to get there.

Obito chuckled twice, then jumped off the cliff without saying a word, tumbling and scrambling all the way to the bottom of the mountain.

He then forced himself to stand up, enduring excruciating pain all over his body, and with his last breath, rushed towards the location of the active volcano.

The Ten-Tails was his last hope, and no matter how unrealistic it seemed, he was willing to take the risk.

"If one alternate dimension is this big, then there are many, many more like it. It's beyond imagination," Jiraiya said weakly.

At first, it was just for novelty, and it was quite interesting to be able to see all sorts of planets and meteorites up close.

After watching it for a long time, it gradually becomes boring.

Hey girl, where are you? Come out quickly, let's have a meeting that transcends time and space.

And Obito Uchiha, where have you been? Are you a human or a ghost? Please show yourself.

"Could it be that there are no traces of his remains?" Kushina said with a complicated expression. "We've been searching for almost a month, and we haven't even seen a shadow of Obito, let alone anyone else."

Kakashi remained silent, holding a super-powered telescope, observing the distance with unwavering interest.

“No, there’s a monster fused inside his body. Even if he dies, that monster won’t die,” said Naruto in his Ten-Tails form.

"And the fact that the monster didn't die means that he probably won't die either."

"He has lost his divine power and cannot leave this alternate dimension. If we keep searching like this, we will find him sooner or later."

After that, there was another six hours of silence.

Suddenly, Kakashi spoke up: "Naruto, that planet has water, vegetation, and life."

Kushina and Jiraiya were greatly encouraged.

Naruto, who had X-ray vision throughout, discovered the planet earlier than Kakashi, and also discovered something on that planet that was worth paying attention to.

Sasuke, who had been resting with his eyes closed and hadn't interacted with anyone, opened his eyes and looked at the distant planet.

Using Naruto's chakra, a spatial portal was opened, which was located directly in front of Naruto in his Ten-Tails form during flight.

Go through from this side and come out from the other side; you'll be inside the planet, saving you the distance and the steps of breaking through the atmosphere.

Naruto determined the direction and flew straight towards the land. On the way, he exited his Ten-Tails form and used gravity to grab his mother, Jiraiya, and Kakashi, carrying the three of them with him.

Sasuke can fly on his own, so there's no need to worry about him.

"Hahaha! Another world, a world with life!" Jiraiya exclaimed excitedly upon seeing creatures he had never seen before in the sea.

“Many signs of life are in the sea,” Kushina said strangely.

"What?" Jiraiya was taken aback.

Chapter 275 Big Fish

Land smoothly.

The ninjas' observation skills are second to none. Without Naruto's reminder, Jiraiya and the others discovered the footprints on the ground.

"The pattern on the sole, there's no mistake, it's a standard ninja shoe." Kakashi lay down, examined it closely, and after a moment, concluded.

“Similar footprints can be found in many other places,” Naruto said.

The group walked around and looked at the footprints, judging the time based on their depth, shape, and completeness, while also taking into account factors such as rain and sandstorms.

Finally, the group stopped on a hillside.

"Up to this point, the footprints have been there for approximately twenty-four to twenty-seven days."

Kakashi brushed the dust off his knees, looked at the blurred footprints on the ground, then looked up at the sky and spoke.

“Obito, like you, possessed the immense strength to survive in the universe. It seems he has already left.”

"So badly injured, yet so lucky to land on a planet with life," Naruto wondered.

"It didn't harm a single blade of grass or tree, didn't devour the planet's energy, and even managed to penetrate deep into the universe."

"Could it be that his injuries weren't actually that serious?"

"It could also be a smokescreen, used to conceal our true purpose," Sasuke said calmly.

"He deliberately created the illusion of leaving, but in reality, he was hiding somewhere on this planet."

“I’ve scanned the entire planet with X-ray vision,” Naruto said, shrugging.

"Given the monster inside him, and his injured and unwell condition, there's no way he could fool me."

"But since you put it that way, it means there is such a possibility. Hmm, let's verify it."

"How do we verify this?" Kushina wondered.

"Ask about amphibious creatures that can move on land," Naruto said, clasping his hands together and forming hand seals, from which numerous trees sprouted from his body.

These trees then underwent further transformations, their appearance becoming exactly like Naruto's, reaching a total of three hundred.

Each Wood Release clone is equipped with some Rinnegan power, allowing it to use the most basic Rinnegan techniques.

Once the clones appeared, they immediately dispersed and surged in all directions.

One hundred Wood Release clones were sent to examine the memories of amphibious creatures, while the other two hundred Wood Release clones were sent to examine the memories of marine creatures.

As time passed, a strange expression flashed across Naruto's face.
