Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"What's wrong?" Kakashi asked in a deep voice.

He was conflicted; he wanted to find Obito and try to persuade him to come back, but he was also afraid of encountering Obito.

Because if persuasion fails, they will have to fight to the death.

“There’s a mistake.” Naruto said in a subtle tone.

"The person who came here is not Obito, but Madara, Uchiha Madara. Judging from his appearance, he is definitely an Edo Tensei."

"It was from this location that he used gravity to grab onto other planets in the universe and leave."

"Before leaving, he used a large number of clones to explore this planet, and many creatures have seen him."

"Uchiha Madara!" Jiraiya exclaimed solemnly, "He's actually that legendary being!"

“Those reanimated by Edo Tensei can sense the user’s location in reverse.” Naruto looked up in the direction Madara had left, his eyes flashing slightly.

"If we find Madara, we can find out Obito's whereabouts through him, or perhaps Madara is looking for Obito."

"There's a difference of more than half a month, is it still possible to catch up?" Jiraiya asked, troubled.

“Madara doesn’t have space-time techniques; he relies on gravity and repulsion, so his speed in the universe isn’t fast,” Naruto said confidently.

"If we speed up, we can definitely catch up."

"Of course, considering that the probability of him walking in a straight line is infinitely close to zero, the difficulty of finding him will not be low."

"In short, let's get going without delay."

Naruto, having re-entered Ten-Tails form, grabbed his mother, Sasuke, Jiraiya, and Kakashi, and soared into the clouds, breaking through the atmosphere.

They flew at full speed in the direction Ban had gone.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

Calm and calm.

Suddenly, a large fish covered in barbs and with sharp teeth slowly rose to the surface.

The dead fish's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, staring straight at the sky.

"He's gone."

Looking back on all the arrangements made more than half a month ago, now that they've turned into fish spots, I can't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

They deliberately create the illusion of leaving, then circle back after reaching the outer planet, transferring their souls into the chosen large fish.

Instead of pursuing a human form, in order to better adapt to this body, and more importantly, to deceive Naruto and avoid being discovered, they willingly chose soul assimilation.

I'll change back when I have the chance.

With the power of the Six Paths, even the most incredible things can be accomplished.

"I never expected that the sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation would be a White Zetsu. This makes my path forward a bit smoother," Madara thought to himself.

With the soul transferred, the Impure World Reincarnation naturally collapsed, revealing the White Zetsu corpse that had been used as a sacrifice.

Madara's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, he ate it, using the help of chakra to accelerate digestion and absorption.

White Zetsu possesses the body of the Divine Tree and the properties of the Outer Path Demon Statue. Although these are rare, they represent a breakthrough from zero.

Yes, it's better than nothing.

"Before the soul transfer, I used chakra to cleanse, purify, and improve the body of this big fish."

"Plus the bit of Gedo Mazo nature absorbed from White Zetsu."

"The probability of awakening the Sharingan, or even the Rinnegan, is greatly increased."

Hunger made Ban pause his thoughts; he plunged into the sea to search for prey.

Not wanting to be discovered by Naruto and cause his efforts to be in vain, he had been hiding in the deep sea for the past three days, enduring hunger and thirst.

Now that we've successfully tricked Naruto away, we can rest easy for the time being. So, we should start thinking more about becoming stronger.

Life cannot exist without food; eating is of paramount importance.

Exercise and spiritual practice are both very energy-consuming activities.

To prevent food shortages from creating a vicious cycle, several areas should be designated specifically for raising animals.

Soon, they found a target, and the spiritual energy belonging to Madara, combined with the physical energy of the fish, perfectly fused together to extract chakra.

With explosive acceleration, it crashed into the large fish.

Without giving the fish a chance to resist, the pale blue, armorless Susanoo appeared out of nowhere, and with a swift stroke, cleaved it in two.

While devouring his food, Ban unconsciously thought that not having hands and being unable to form hand seals was indeed quite inconvenient.

Fortunately, Susanoo, which is already bound to his soul, can be used.

Forming hand seals is no problem.

However, due to the lack of the Mangekyou Sharingan, he was unable to develop the complete Susanoo, and could only achieve this half-baked level.

He can easily handle opponents of the Five Kage's caliber, but if he were to face Hashirama or even Naruto, he would have no chance of winning.

"The eyes, we need to awaken the eyes as soon as possible."

Chapter 276 The Divine Tree's Chakra Fruit

The search process was even more tedious and boring than Naruto had imagined.

Faced with an unchanging, monotonous, and lifeless universe, even he almost gave up because he couldn't find Madara and Obito as time went by.

I go home once a month, stay for a day or two, relax, and give my brain and body a break.

Before I knew it, eight months had passed.

Half a year has passed just like that.

"Did I go in the wrong direction? Or has Obito already left this alternate dimension?" Naruto, now in his Ten-Tails form, wondered to himself as he flew rapidly through space.

He couldn't help but think that way, after all, in the past six months, he had entered a state of complete fusion without any emotion five times.

In other words, he gathered all the ninjas, big and small, in the village who had no ill intentions towards him, merged their chakra, and diluted his own emotions in order to obtain power surpassing Kaguya.

In this state, perception capabilities leap dramatically, encompassing almost half of the galaxy.

Even so, they still couldn't find Obito. Naruto was very suspicious that Obito had somehow managed to leave this alternate dimension.

Kamui has collapsed, but Obito still has the Rinnegan with nine tomoe, right? That thing is an unstable variable.

Suddenly, a strange feeling came into his perception. Naruto was stunned. He focused his perspective and locked it into a single point, concentrating his gaze on the strange entity.

"Found it!" Naruto exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement.

On the giant palm that resembled a football field, Kushina, Jiraiya, and Kakashi, who were bored and playing cards, were all taken aback.

Sasuke, who rarely speaks and whose eyes are closed and who is lost in thought, suddenly opens his eyes behind the mask.

The chakra merged with Naruto, sharing Naruto's vision and thoughts.

Upon learning the location of the target, they immediately opened a spatial portal, which happened to be right in front of Naruto in his Ten-Tails form.

Naruto, who was on the same wavelength as Naruto, rushed in without hesitation, and when he came out again, he had already reached his destination.

In front of an active volcano that has cooled down and only occasionally releases a little lava.

"Uchiha Obito!" Naruto shouted, maintaining his Ten-Tails form, and unleashed a powerful punch.

Boom!

The volcano, which had lost much of its energy and heat after being absorbed by the Ten-Tails, collapsed and exploded.

dusty.

Volcanic ash billowed out, covering this area.

"Later than I expected." Obito stepped back, retreating, and said with a forced, relaxed smile.

“This feeling…” Kaguya couldn’t help but say.

"The Ten-Tails within him has transformed into a divine tree and has produced chakra fruits, though they are small and of low quality."

"But it is still the fruit of the divine tree."

"The fact that he was able to bear fruit in such a short time suggests that he has absorbed a tremendous amount of energy on this planet."

"Is that so?" Naruto understood, waved his hand to clear away the smoke and dust, and stared intently at Obito who was retreating rapidly.

Belonging to the Reincarnation Eye, it is unique and can only be used by the one who has awakened it. Others, even if they have transplanted these eyes, cannot use them.

A pupil technique that allows one to manipulate gravity.

Targeting Obito, they launched their attack.

Ten times, twenty times the force of gravity acted on Obito.

In an instant, Obito was caught off guard and fell heavily to the ground.

Naruto struck with lightning speed, intending to tear Obito to pieces and prevent him from having the chance to consume the Chakra Fruit.

However, it should be noted that the Ten-Tails is inside Obito's body and is one with him. It does not require the process of swallowing; Obito can digest it entirely internally.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Torn to pieces and critically injured, Obito's lips curled into a maniacal smile.

Suddenly, he broke free from Naruto's gravitational pressure.

The body, which had been dismembered, was reassembled with the heart at its center.

The hair that was killed by the high temperature of the magma grew back, becoming a hedgehog-like hairstyle similar to Ban's, only not as long, just past his shoulders.

Her skin was as white as snow.

Several thorns grew from his shoulder, and bright red flames burned on them.
