Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility!

Uchiha Gin quickly tidied up the camping trash. Seeing that no one was around, which meant no one would record his good deed, he could only regretfully toss it all into the Shadow Realm. Then he clapped his hands and gazed at Indra, who was raising his sword in the distance.

Hashirama is in grave danger. If Gin Uchiha doesn't do something soon, Lady Momoka will become a widow.

It seems pretty good~

No, no! I have a brotherly bond with Hashirama in prison, how could I have such despicable thoughts!

Uchiha Gin, you deserve to die!

He quickly interrupted his own thoughts, raising his hand towards the void. The only alias Uchiha Gin could use right now was Decade.

"Wang Liang, unite!"

Uchiha Gin's dead fish eyes widened, revealing a resolute and unwavering determination. As a void of blackness opened before him, the flame of chivalry within him began to burn fiercely.

He, Kamen Rider Decade, is about to dominate the battlefield!

"Snapped!"

However, the Mikoto that Uchiha Gin had imagined did not appear. Instead, he was greeted by trash that had just been thrown into the Shadow Realm, a mixture of chicken bones and lemon scraps, which landed on his face with a refreshing splash.

"Ah!!! My eyes~"

The foreign object invaded, and Uchiha Gin's eyes, which he had finally managed to open wide, were instantly splashed with the remaining lemon juice. The intense pain made him roll on the ground, covering his eyes and howling in agony.

"Hmph~ You think you can combine forces after littering? Dream on!"

Kaguya, the instigator, stood with her hands on her hips at the other end of the void, her cold and beautiful face filled with resentment.

And the long-unseen Zuo Ling and You Ling were standing beside her. Judging from the way their arms were positioned, the trash they had just thrown must have been thrown by their two puppets. No wonder their aim was so good.

"Don't bother me lately, I'm on my period."

With her hands on her hips, Kaguya's eyes flashed with a strange light. She spoke in an unfriendly tone to Uchiha Gin, who was rolling on the ground, and then waved her hand to close the Shadow Realm.

It seems she has noticed the Sage of Six Paths' spying.

Lying on the ground, Uchiha Gin forced his eyes open a crack, enduring the pain, and stared blankly at the vanished black hole.

Is something happening?

Does it mean that relatives have arrived?

Do creations with pupil techniques also have periods?

Does that mean I can have children?

A jumble of chaotic thoughts rushed through his mind, and Gin Uchiha was momentarily at a loss for words. But for now, his priority was to rescue Hashirama from prison.

"Huh? Why did it stop?"

After healing himself, Uchiha Gin, who was preparing to use his physical knight technique, stood up and was ready to go when he suddenly noticed that Indra, who was once invincible on the battlefield, was frozen in place, his black and blue armor trembling as if struggling, and the long sword he was holding tightly fell to the ground.

In the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Although somewhat puzzled by the extra belt around Madara Uchiha's waist, Indra, believing that this reincarnated form wouldn't cause any trouble, maintained his arrogant attitude.

"Nine-Tails, stop playing dead."

However, Madara Uchiha ignored the Black Fox Knight before him. Instead, he turned to look at the Nine-Tails, which was bathed in flames with its mouth open and eyes closed, and said coldly,

"ha?"

The nine-tailed fox that was called out froze instantly. Was its acting really that bad? It was just trying to coast along, so why couldn't it be let off the hook?

That was Indra, the old man's most cruel and cold-blooded eldest son. He had once suggested to the old man that some of them should be castrated, explaining that their temperaments would become docile after being cut off.

Fortunately, the old man was discerning and did not harm the trembling young animals.

If castration makes one docile, then Indra is the one who most deserves to be operated on!

"Don't forget who sealed you away. If you don't help me, you won't get any more good juice!"

Seeing that Kurama was still hesitating, Madara Uchiha, his face grim, spoke up with a threat. With Hasi's mother's fate uncertain, he had to go out and check on her.

He would never believe the Black Fox Knight's words unless he saw the corpse with his own eyes.

"well"

Having no other choice, Kurama stood up and walked behind Madara Uchiha. Indra, who had been watching the interaction between the two, did not interfere. He wanted to see what kind of impressive performance this reincarnation could deliver without the help of his chakra.

"We're no match for him. If we can't win, we'll just quit, or we'll restart."

The Nine-Tails behind him continued to speak negatively, but Madara Uchiha's belief grew stronger. He slowly pulled out a silver card from his driver at his waist, which was the Tailed Beast Card that sealed the Nine-Tails.

Indra was unimpressed when he saw Madara Uchiha pull out a card containing the power of a Tailed Beast. He thought that even if all nine Tailed Beasts were summoned together, they would have to kneel before him.

"Don't resist. I'm just correcting your fate. When you wake up next time, you'll forget everything that happened before and start following the guidance of your destiny again."

A cold voice came from beneath the mask; Indra would not allow anyone to disrupt the destiny he had planned in advance.

It's a pity about this reincarnation. The strength is good, but the mind is off track. Hopefully, the next reincarnation won't repeat the same mistakes.

"I will never forget."

Madara Uchiha raised his head, recalling the details of his entanglement with Hashirama Senju.

An encounter by the Naka River, a battle of water-skimming.

A rupture occurs beside the Namaka River; a fateful conflict.

Whether it was meeting or parting, these were precious memories he would never forget!

As he spoke, he raised the Tailed Beast Card high in his hand. The Nine-Tails, whose fighting spirit was gradually weakening behind him, suddenly sensed a familiar yet unfamiliar power guiding it forward.

What is that Kari?

The Nine-Tails' enormous beast eyes were full of doubt. It had previously thought that this card was made by its lost Kunkun, but now it seemed that although this Tailed Beast Chakra had some connection with it, it was definitely not something it had dropped.

"Everything about me and the hot mom from Hasi!"

As Madara Uchiha finished speaking, the Tailed Beast Card in his hand suddenly burst forth with a blinding white light. Behind him, Kurama's eyes widened in astonishment; in that fleeting moment, it seemed to have seen another version of itself reflected in that card.

"Bang!"

With a crisp sound, Kurama found its body rapidly disintegrating, but it wasn't the tearing sensation it felt when sealed. Instead, it felt a warm sense of returning home. So it didn't struggle and transformed into a stream of red chakra, flowing into the Tailed Beast Card held by Madara Uchiha.

"This is."

As the light faded, Madara Uchiha stared in astonishment at the heavy buckle he was holding, its white and red hues exuding an air of mystery.

Seeing this, Indra, who was not far away, frowned slightly beneath his mask. He actually sensed a faint threat from the white and red buckle.

And one.

The smell he hated most.

Madara Uchiha stroked the heavy buckle in his hand; the aura emanating from it gave him a sense of security, like having his mother, Hashira, by his side.

【Mark IX】

Sensing something, Madara Uchiha instinctively learned how to use the buckle in his hand. With a gentle twist, he split the heavy buckle in two.

"Snap!"

Holding up the two straps, Madara Uchiha's eyes sharpened as he stared straight ahead. Then, he simultaneously inserted the straps into the slots on either side of the driver.

【Set Ignition】

As the device was inserted, the driver at his waist seemed to be activated, beginning to play a soul-stirring melody. Madara Uchiha suddenly felt a surge of excitement; in his excitement, he clenched his fist forward and made a spinning gesture towards Indra.

meaning is,

I'm going to have you under my thumb!

"Henshin!"

Madara Uchiha, now ablaze with power and brimming with confidence, began his transformation.

【Revolve On】

The red and white buckle at his waist flipped automatically, transforming into a lifelike white and red Nine-Tails, seated atop the driver. Madara Uchiha reached out and flicked the handle at the end of the buckle backward, and the white and red Nine-Tails instantly burst forth with dazzling red light.

【Dynamite Boost】

A nine-tailed fox, its body radiating white light, suddenly sprang out from the void behind Madara Uchiha. Indra's brows furrowed even more upon seeing this nine-tailed fox.

He was right; there were indeed traces of Ashura's chakra on this Nine-Tails. Although they were very faint, they were definitely there.

After circling the arena once, the Nine-Tails pounced from behind Madara Uchiha, transforming into white and red armor that attached itself to his body in mid-air.

A white and red tail burst from the ground, closing in on Madara Uchiha, enveloping him, then quickly springing away to reveal the white and red fox knight who had successfully transformed inside.

【Geats IX】

"Splash~ Splash~"

But that wasn't all. With a cracking sound coming from the ground behind them, nine red and white tails suddenly stretched out from the back of the white and red knight, kicking up clouds of sand before drifting in the wind.

"Ready to Fight!"

Madara Uchiha, now transformed into the white and red Nine-Tails Knight, stared in disbelief at his massive, red and white hand. The power surging within him now far surpassed anything he had experienced during his previous transformation.

If he could have transformed into this knight when he fought Hasi Hot Mom, he probably would have won long ago, right?

"Tsk!"

As a principled ninja, Indra did not interfere when Madara Uchiha transformed. However, looking at the red and white fox knight who looked exactly like him except for the color, he suddenly felt a little annoyed.

"A fake is a fake. Do you think you can become me just by imitating me?"

The Black Fox Knight slowly drew his dark blue longsword from his waist, determined to teach this reincarnated Daoist a lesson.

"I never imitate anyone. I am who I am."

As he drew a long, white and red sword from his waist, Madara Uchiha's tone grew increasingly resolute.

"Uchiha Madara!"

The red and white Nine-Tailed Knight unfurled its tail, its form blurring, and in the next instant, it stood before Indra, its long sword slashing down.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Indra reacted quickly, raising his sword to block, but the next moment, he felt a heavy blow to his lower abdomen, and the excruciating pain lingered. Looking down, he saw that in the other hand of the white and red knight, there was a uniquely designed short crossbow with blue smoke rising from the tip. It seemed that the attack just now was its handiwork.

"Thump!"

In pain, Indra raised his long sword and kicked Madara in the chest. He then performed a backflip and landed a short distance away, looking at the wound that was being repaired with slight annoyance. He hadn't felt this humiliation in a long time.

"I only wanted to teach you a lesson, but now it seems I can only send you to the Pure Land."

If word got out that he had been injured by his own reincarnation, how could Indra possibly save face? Filled with resentment, he decided to make Madara Uchiha pay the price.

The Black Fox Knight's tail unfurled, transforming into a black lightning bolt that leaped rapidly through space. A flash of red light appeared in Madara Uchiha's yellow compound eyes, which then also transformed into a white lightning bolt.

"Boom!"

The clash between black and white produced a series of ear-piercing roars; the immense power caused the entire sea of ​​consciousness to tremble precariously.

"Hmm"

After another collision, the two landed and tacitly distanced themselves. Indra looked at the white and red knight who was holding his own against him, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

He was just a reincarnated body plus the Nine-Tails, yet he was able to fight me to a standstill. It must be because he had reincarnated too many times, which had exhausted his chakra. That's why he was like a tiger fallen into the plains, bullied by dogs, or a dragon swimming in shallow waters, mocked by shrimp.

On Madara's side, ever since the transformation, the Nine-Tails' noisy voice hadn't been heard. From the initial exclamation to the later surprise during the battle,

"Hey! Human, give it your all, I'm rooting for you!"

Until he and the Black Fox Knight in front of him were evenly matched, Kurama changed his tone and became a master of stirring up trouble, urging Uchiha Madara to attack the opponent's lower body.

"Shut up!"

Ignoring the incessant chatter of the Nine-Tails, Madara Uchiha's current state wasn't as good as he'd imagined. Even with his power skyrocketing after transforming, the Black Fox Knight was no paper tiger. He was putting all his strength into resisting every attack, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

If it weren't for the protection of his armor, Madara Uchiha would have been taken away long ago by the dense Yin Release chakra accompanying Indra's attack.

"Bang!"

In their renewed exchange after a brief respite, Madara Uchiha, caught off guard, revealed an opening, which Indra astutely seized upon, sending him flying with a single slash.

"Thump~"

"Huff~ Huff~ Huff~"

Madara Uchiha, now kneeling on one knee, felt his armor growing increasingly heavy as time passed.

"You've already done a great job. There are only two people in the world who could push me to this point."

Standing before Madara Uchiha, Indra's eyes beneath his mask had already transformed into a bewitching and intricate pattern, radiating a dense Yin Release chakra that rapidly devoured this sea of ​​consciousness.

Having the home advantage, he was naturally able to exert more pressure on Uchiha Madara.

"snort!"

Not wanting to waste his energy speaking, Madara Uchiha's eyes beneath his mask seemed to be summoned by something, turning crimson and adding a bewitching kaleidoscope pattern. His Yin Release eye power poured out, beginning to vie for this territory in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Both of them understood each other implicitly. After their previous exchange, they knew that whoever could dominate this sea of ​​consciousness would be able to control Madara Uchiha's body. Therefore, they both began to exert all their strength in the struggle.

As the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Indra's mastery of the Sharingan was unparalleled. With his skillful manipulation, he quickly occupied a large area of ​​his consciousness.

Looking down at the struggling Madara Uchiha, he could clearly sense the power emanating from Madara's eyes, far surpassing that of any of his previous reincarnations.

"Nice eyes, what a pity."

Even at this point, Indra couldn't help but sigh, "How could such a lucky alt have chosen the wrong faction?"

Don't underestimate me!

Madara Uchiha, beneath his mask, widened his eyes and unleashed chakra as if it were free, but it was quickly dissolved by Indra's eye power.

The disparity in strength between the two sides is still too great. Madara Uchiha is about to lose control of his body again, which will make Hasi's situation even more precarious.

"I'll help you!"

Just as Madara Uchiha was about to fall, the Nine-Tails in his belt roared, and bursts of red light erupted from the tips of its nine tails.

"Hmm~"

The next moment, a massive amount of Yin Release chakra was channeled into his body, completely enveloping Madara Uchiha's parched form. Nourished by the Tailed Beast chakra, Madara's consciousness was revitalized once more. The patterns in his eyes began to spin rapidly, and his body, which had been crushed by gravity, slowly straightened up.

"Snap!"

Madara Uchiha stood up once again!

"Why are you still able to stand up?"

Indra, who thought victory was assured, looked in astonishment at Uchiha Madara, who had risen again. Just how deep was the obsession of this reincarnated being, that it could be so tenacious?

"Phew~ Even the hot mom from Hasi hasn't given up, how can I admit defeat first!"

Panting heavily, Madara Uchiha raised his head and said proudly,

Indra's expression turned cold. Even on the verge of death, this reincarnated form was still thinking about the reincarnation of the Asura outside. What had they gone through together to forge such a deep bond?

"That guy is dead, I..."

A strange pang of sorrow welled up in his heart, and Indra said with a resentful voice,

He had only spoken half of the story when Indra felt as if he had been struck a heavy blow. Looking down at the smoking black and blue nine-tailed fox belt around his waist, he gritted his teeth and said...

"You have no sportsmanship! You actually launched a sneak attack!"

"Sir, you've eaten shit!"

Madara Uchiha, holding a gun, blew away the wisps of smoke rising from the muzzle and replied in a very serious tone,

"How can this be repaired!"

Madara Uchiha's act of shooting at someone from behind completely enraged Indra. He no longer cared about fighting Madara for control of his consciousness; instead, he lunged forward, determined to teach this despicable reincarnation a lesson.

"Well done!"

Having been cleansed by the Nine-Tails' chakra, Madara Uchiha's fighting strength had long since recovered. Moreover, a continuous supply of chakra continued to flow, allowing him to squander it without worry.

"Boom!"

Another rapid clash erupted between the two, but this time Madara Uchiha did not fall into a disadvantageous position. With the Nine-Tails as his backup, he was able to hold his own against Indra.

"Bang!"

The black and blue longsword clashed with the red and white longsword once more, the resulting shockwave causing the entire sea of ​​consciousness to tremble and crack. During the struggle, Madara Uchiha, aided by the Nine-Tails, finally gained the upper hand in suppressing Indra.

"Go for it! Use all your chakra! Chop him up!"

The nine tails around its waist leaped excitedly. This was the best chance to wash away the shame of a thousand years ago. If it could really defeat Indra, it could walk sideways in front of the other tailed beasts.

With this record, isn't the throne of Tailed Beast King unshakeable?

"Wait for me, hot mom from Hasi!"

Madara Uchiha's conviction was even stronger than Indra's; he adhered to idealistic theories, and if he didn't win, the rest of the story couldn't unfold.

Therefore,

"Bang!"

Ultimately, Madara Uchiha's words became the final straw that broke Indra's back. With the combined efforts of the two, the Black Fox Knight was slashed away by the White Fox Knight, and the darkness in his sea of ​​consciousness gradually faded away.

"We won!"

Feeling that he had gained control of his consciousness, Madara Uchiha, impatient and ignoring Indra who was lying on the ground with his mouth open and eyes closed, turned around and disappeared from the spot.

"Forehead?"

In reality, Hashirama Senju, having failed to seize the Black Fox Knight's belt, could only watch helplessly as his opponent raised the black and blue longsword, only to pause for a moment just before swinging it down.

Then, to Hashirama Senju's horrified gaze, the Black Fox Knight before him began to fade. His right side was visibly turning white, while the blue parts were turning a scorching red, giving Hashirama a feeling of warmth.

"Hot Mom from Harbin!"

As one side of the mask turned into a yellow compound eye, a familiar voice rang in Hashirama Senju's ear.

"Is it the motor?"

Hashirama Senju shuddered, as if his body had been injected with vitality once more. He raised his head and asked in a cryptic tone,

Are you alright?

Having regained control of his body, Madara Uchiha looked excitedly at Hashirama Senju, who was in a terrible state. Fortunately, Hashirama had only suffered some superficial injuries that were beginning to heal, and otherwise, he was fine.

"I'm fine. What happened to you just now? Where's that guy?"

Seeing his best friend online, Hashirama Senju breathed a sigh of relief. If Madara Uchiha hadn't appeared, he would have had to risk his life to use the Great Buddha to suppress the Black Fox Knight who had made him so uncomfortable.

"I'm the one who won in the end!"

After giving a nonchalant reply, Madara Uchiha was filled with pride. Transforming into the true Nine-Tails Knight, he now possessed the power to defeat Hasi-la-Ma. Therefore, the position of Second Hokage was his for the taking.

No, you haven't won yet.

Just as the two were preparing to celebrate their narrow escape, a familiar yet unfamiliar clear, cold male voice rang out again, this time coming from beneath Uchiha Madara's mask.

"what!"

On the other side of the armor, which had not yet been stained white, a dense burst of purple chakra erupted. Caught off guard, Hashirama Senju was sent flying more than ten meters by the black fist, crashing heavily into the rock.

"puff!"

Caught completely off guard, Hashirama Senju, struck by a sudden and devastating blow, coughed up a mouthful of blood, his handsome face turning ashen. Despite this, he forced himself to sit up, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Madara Uchiha, who was struggling in the distance.

On Madara Uchiha's knight armor, white and red versus black and blue colors fiercely vie for control of his body; the nine-tailed fox at his waist flashes white and black intermittently, and the colors of his compound eyes also shift wildly.

"You've already lost!"

"Let me teach you another lesson: even at the very last moment, never let your guard down. The enemy behind you, who covets you, is just waiting for the moment you make a mistake."

Black Zetsu: Nephew, you're actually a pretty nice guy~ (End of Chapter)
