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

On the battlefield, figures in white and black clashed and intertwined, the clanging of metal echoing through the air as their weapons clashed, the aftershocks blowing away the scattered sand and gravel.

"Bang!"

The blades clashed again, and the madness in the fox knight's eyes intensified. His movements became increasingly chaotic, while Shamon calmly dealt with Madara Uchiha's barrage of attacks, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

"Hahaha! Finally, after enduring so much humiliation for so many years, I've finally gotten this opportunity!"

In the realm of consciousness, the Nine-Tailed Fox, its belly bulging, stood up excitedly, its narrow, beastly eyes filled with the smug satisfaction of revenge.

Kurama was enslaved by Madara Uchiha for so many years, during which time his life essence was relentlessly extracted, and he lived a life like a beast of burden. It was thought that this kind of life would continue forever.

Unexpectedly, things took a dramatic turn. This ruthless bastard lowered his guard at this crucial moment, giving the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Indra, Indra, I never thought you'd have such an unexpected downfall!"

Although Madara Uchiha's Sharingan was the best weapon to subdue tailed beasts, he was too arrogant and blindly confident.

Not only did they remove the seal that controlled the Nine-Tails, but they also allowed it to roam freely. That's why, when using the power of the Tailed Beasts, they drank Tailed Beast Chakra mixed with a mysterious formula.

The tailed beast chakra, infused with the negative energy of the Nine-Tails, filled Madara Uchiha's entire body. Obsessed with this power, he made no attempt to use his Sharingan to counter it. Instead, driven by his fighting spirit, he unleashed a primal roar.

"Nisunai. Roar!"

The blue Susanoo armor floating around Madara Uchiha's body crumbled under the sudden overflow of red cloak.

After donning the jelly-like red tailed beast cloak, Madara Uchiha's consciousness completely sank. He briefly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a wild vertical pupil appeared in his red pupils.

"This is?"

Shamon, who was sparring with Madara Uchiha, narrowed his eyes when he saw the bright red tailed beast cloak. He immediately took a few steps back, distancing himself from the fox knight who was emanating an unstable aura.

"Hehehe, I've succeeded!"

Beneath the mask, a high-pitched, eunuch-like voice rang out, sending a chill down the spines of Konoha spectators.

"It's over."

Tobirama Senju closed his eyes in agony. The Nine-Tails had completely taken control of Madara Uchiha's body. This was truly a double loss; Konoha was doomed.

With Shamen having created some distance, the Fox Knight ceased his frenzied attack, standing still and examining his own body with great interest.

"You stupid raccoon, can you do that?"

The Nine-Tails, now in control of Madara Uchiha's body, tilted its head and boasted to the wary black tanuki knight not far away, its tone filled with pride.

"Hmph~"

Faced with Kurama's provocation, Shukaku was furious, but it still had to assess the situation. In its view, Kurama taking the lead was a good thing to some extent, since Kurama's fighting level was like that of a greenhorn compared to the experienced Uchiha Madara.

"Bald guy, your chances of winning are even greater now."

Shukaku excitedly licked his lips, his gaze falling on the jelly-like tailed beast cloak on Kurama's body.

"We must not be careless; let's test the waters first."

With the infusion of Shukaku's power, a fleeting streak of light appeared on the katana in his hand. Shamon shook his head, and his entire body transformed into black lightning, charging towards Kurama.

"roar!"

Madara Uchiha, controlled by the Nine-Tails, roared and, facing Shamon's attack, threw the longsword he was holding aside.

The tailed beast cloak on its body transformed into two sharp claws, tearing straight at the charging black tanuki rider.

"Whoosh!"

Dodging the ominous tailed beast's claws, Shamon revealed a rare smile. "You've even lost your weapon. What are you going to fight yourself with?"

"Bang!"

Wielding his katana, Shamon moved with the agility of a dragon, dodging the Nine-Tails' attacks while leaving numerous wounds on its tailed beast cloak that were difficult to heal.

"This is?"

Nine-Tailed Fox lowered its head in confusion, looking at its gnawed outer garment. It could smell the stench of a certain tanuki's saliva at the wound.

"Burp~ More, please!"

Just then, Shukaku's cheeky voice rang out, and everyone noticed that Shamon's katana had a pair of cunning, coin-shaped eyes. It turned out that his weapon was a manifestation of the One-Tailed Beast's chakra.

"hateful!"

This stupid tanuki dared to eat its own chakra? Upon learning the truth, Kurama was furious and immediately poured more tailed beast chakra into Madara Uchiha's body. The tailed beast cloak that had been chewed and dented instantly recovered and became even more concentrated than before.

"Whoosh~"

The next moment, black lightning appeared in front of it, and the Tanuki Knight raised his katana and slashed down mercilessly.

"Rip!"

Unable to dodge in time, Kurama took the blow head-on. Its tailed beast cloak was torn open again, and its breastplate was ripped open with a deep wound that exposed bone. Bright red blood gushed out instantly.

"Hmm"

The Nine-Tails, in pain, immediately transformed its Tailed Beast Cloak into two giant claws. It slammed its claws together, trying to crush the despicable Tanuki Knight into pieces. Unfortunately for the Nine-Tails, it seemed to have anticipated this. After succeeding in its attack, it quickly created distance and prepared for its next attack.

"You stinky fox! You can't hit me, can you?"

Shukaku poked its head out of its katana, opened its mouth wide, and looked at the enraged Kurama with a mocking expression. It then unleashed its powerful attack right at Kurama's face.

"So, you become less sensitive after the lower part is gone~"

"Nisuchi!"

Enraged that its sore spot was being used as a joke, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) seized control of Madara Uchiha's body, causing him to fall flat on his back, abandoning his human form and transforming into a beast.

"Could this be considered stealing a secret technique from the Inuzuka clan?"

At this critical moment, Uchiha Gin still had the mood to joke, pointing at Uchiha Madara who was using the Four-Legged Technique, and seriously asking Senju Tobirama, who looked like he had lost his parents.

"."

With its four legs on the ground, the Nine-Tailed Fox finally regained a familiar sense of control. Its beastly eyes flashed red, and it transformed into a red torrent, charging towards Shamen with unstoppable force.

"Tsk."

Knowing he couldn't dodge, Shamen chose to confront him head-on. He held his sword in front of his chest, his cloak fluttering without wind, and the sand beneath his feet began to solidify with his movements, instantly transforming into a surge of yellow sand.

Shamen swung his sword fiercely, and the sand waves instantly transformed into two giant arms, striking the Nine-Tailed Fox head-on.

【The Strange Arm of Sand】

"boom!"

The two collided, producing a tremendous roar; the red chakra and the yellow sand waves were irreconcilable.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

After a brief stalemate, Shukaku's Magnet Release ultimately succumbed. The sand, scorched by the high temperature of the tailed beast's chakra, began to crystallize. Kurama, seeing this, grinned savagely and immediately increased its power.

"Nisuchi!"

"Bang!"

Finally, the sand, unable to hold on any longer, began to collapse and explode, creating a brief sandstorm upon impact. Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox laughed triumphantly.

"Hahaha, you stinking raccoon, die!"

The next moment, a silver snake-like light flashed, and Kurama lowered its head, staring straight at the samurai sword that pierced through its chest from behind. Shukaku's eyes on the blade were filled with deep mockery.

"Oh ho~"

Seeing this familiar scene, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but spread his hands, revealing a very helpless expression.

Is the flaw in the back so great that even the Nine-Tails can't fix it?

"I won."

The monk's voice was filled with joy. During the struggle, he had taken advantage of the sandstorm to disappear into the swirling sand.

As he crept up behind the Nine-Tails, he saw its wide-open back and tried to stab it. To his surprise, the attack went straight through and hit its mark.

"call"

Despite the excruciating pain, Kurama took a deep breath and reached out to grab Shamon behind her, but Shamon nimbly dodged the attack. At the same time, the blade in her chest was pulled out, and a horrifying spurt of blood shot out from the wound.

"Hmm"

The Nine-Tailed Fox lay on the ground, clutching its wound, its eyes filled with deep confusion. Logically speaking, with its perception, how could it not have sensed Shamon behind it?

"Give up, it's not too late to get treatment now."

Seeing the Nine-Tails standing there in a daze, Shamon did not choose to press his advantage, but instead kindly gave it a reminder.

"Stop nagging! Why don't you just let this stinking fox die?"

Shukaku, grumbling and cursing, poked his head out and looked at Shamon with displeasure. He had finally managed to accomplish the feat of overthrowing his superior.

If the Nine-Tails were to be reborn again, its status as the King of Tailed Beasts would rise to an even higher level.

"No, he's Uchiha Madara."

Sheathing Shukaku, Shamon said in a complicated tone, "Sunagakure not only has no enmity with Konoha, but on the contrary, they even have a little bit of underground friendship."

If he were to kill Madara Uchiha like this, how would he face Gin-sensei afterward?

"Hehe, you're talking a bit too much."

Just as Shamen was about to turn and leave, the Nine-Tailed Demon's voice rang out again. The next moment, he felt a heavy blow to his back and was sent flying dozens of meters away.

"Cough cough cough, impossible! How could you?"

Shamon, leaning on his katana to stand up, felt a crack appear in his spine. He looked at the fully recovered Nine-Tails with astonishment. The wound he had just inflicted was emitting white smoke and healing at a visible speed.

"I'm a Super Saiyan Q-tailed beast, this kind of minor injury can be healed with a little saliva."

Nine-Tailed Fox stood with her hands on her hips, explaining arrogantly, her smug expression genuine.

But it shared the same doubts as Shamon: how could such a fatal wound piercing through the chest be healed by even the chakra of a tailed beast? What was wrong with Madara Uchiha's body?

"Never mind, let's deal with this stupid raccoon first!"

The Nine-Tails, its mind not working properly, racked its brains but couldn't come up with an answer. It then tossed the question aside and charged at the injured Shamon with a ferocious expression.

The battle has begun again.

"Phew~ Thank goodness for the Nine-Tailed Fox."

Seeing the fox knight come back to life, the Konoha team in the stands breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with deep joy.

"Is it really the Nine-Tails?"

Just when everyone believed that Kurama had saved Madara Uchiha, only Gin Uchiha showed a thoughtful expression.

Madara Uchiha's consciousness space.

The space where the Nine-Tailed Fox stood was empty, the entire area utterly silent and dark. Suddenly, a warm light spread out, slowly illuminating the darkness.

At the very center of the consciousness space, Madara Uchiha's consciousness sat cross-legged, his eyes closed and his brows furrowed in a deep frown, as if he were having some kind of nightmare.

However, under the warm light, his expression softened, and his ferocious face gradually regained its usual coldness.

"Tsk!"

Suddenly, in the darkness where no light shone, a disdainful snort rang out, and a pair of scarlet eyes opened in the deepest part of the entire space, but quickly disappeared back into the darkness, as if they had never been there.

"Hmm"

Absorbing the gentle light, the sleeping Madara Uchiha let out a soft groan and slowly began to awaken. His black eyes, once opened, were filled with confusion.

Huh?

Why does it smell like a hot mom from Harbin all around?

Looking around the familiar space of consciousness, Madara Uchiha slowly stood up. After confirming that Hashirama Senju wasn't behind him, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Is it an illusion?"

Thinking it was just a hallucination caused by his excessive longing, Madara Uchiha stopped dwelling on the matter. He turned to look at the location of the Nine-Tails in the space and found that it was already empty. His eyes instantly turned dangerous.

"Nine-tailed!"

Although he had no memory of what happened after being impersonated, Madara Uchiha vividly remembered the poisoning of the Nine-Tails' chakra. His eyes immediately turned red, and he wished he could go out right now and scatter that stinking fox's ashes.

"Uh, what's this?"

Just as Madara Uchiha was about to log into his account himself, he suddenly caught a glimpse of emerald green in his consciousness space. He immediately stopped in surprise, squatted down, and began to examine it.

In the center of the dark consciousness space, a tender seedling suddenly sprouted out of thin air, its lush green leaves brimming with life energy.

"Hassy Hot Mom's chakra?"

Incredulous, Madara Uchiha reached out and gently stroked the seedling. His senses told him that this was not a false illusion, but a real thing. The seedling was emitting the unique chakra aura of Hashirama Senju.

"How could this be?"

For a moment, Madara Uchiha was at a loss, staring intently at the green seedling, trying to figure out its origin.

"I see!"

After a long pause, Madara Uchiha, who had been pondering for a long time, slammed his fist down, revealing a look of sudden realization, and his expression became smug.

"It must be that Hasi hot mom was worried about me, so she secretly left his chakra in my body."

"It seems that this is what woke me up."

Madara Uchiha quickly deduced the answer to his awakening from the appearance of the seedling. Logically speaking, after being taken over, without external interference, the tailed beast would continue to log in until it almost destroyed the account, and then it would log off on its own.

"Thank you, hot mom from Hasi! Wait for me, I'm coming to rescue you right away!"

Nodding at the verdant seedlings, Madara Uchiha turned and left. Shortly after he left, a figure with bloodshot eyes emerged.

Standing before the seedling radiating abundant life energy, the figure in the darkness finally revealed its true form. The handsome, pale-skinned ancestor lowered its head, its red eyes gleaming with an inexplicable chill.

"What are you doing here?"

A cool, clear voice echoed through the space.

"."

"The person didn't come. Hmph, still as cautious as ever."

Having received no response, Indra scoffed dismissively, a strange sense of disappointment flashing in his crimson eyes, before turning and disappearing into the darkness.

In reality, Kurama, feeling better than ever before, was beating the black Tanuki Knight with a frenzied expression. The tailed beast cloak covering his body transformed into several giant claws, attacking from all directions.

"Nishiuchi! Nishiuchi! Nishiuchi!"

After a series of blows, Shamen, who was defending with his sword, was sent flying backward in a slightly disheveled state. His black armor was covered with wounds, but there was no fear in his eyes.

"Bald guy! Can you hold on?"

Shukaku poked its head out of its katana, looking intently at the Nine-Tailed Fox, which had recovered to full health. This stinky fox had just been badly beaten, how could it be back to full health in the blink of an eye?

"Well enough."

Shamon nodded slightly. The Nine-Tails' attack had only caused him some superficial wounds, which were rapidly healing under the nourishment of the Tsurugi's chakra.

"Maybe we should stop fighting. That stinky fox seems to be cheating."

At this critical moment, Shukaku frowned, weighed his options, and then spoke to persuade him to surrender.

In its view, the Nine-Tails in this state could wear down Shamon to death, so there was no need to risk getting involved with the bald guy who was somewhat pleasing to the eye for a moment's pleasure.

"Let's try again."

Rejecting Shukaku's suggestion, Shamon stared intently at the vibrant Nine-Tails. Victory was now within reach, and if he gave up now, he might regret it for the rest of his life.

"Okay, then I'll run one more lap with you."

Sensing Shamon's determination, Shukaku curled its lip and merged back into its katana, the blade emitting a metallic clang.

"Hehehe, die! You stupid raccoon!"

The Nine-Tails, its face contorted in a ferocious expression, assumed a four-legged stance. Its crimson beast eyes were filled with intense killing intent. The tailed beast cloak on its body expanded once more, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall behemoth. It opened its massive maw toward Shamon, and a black tailed beast ball instantly condensed.

"not good."

Upon seeing the familiar technique, Shamon's expression turned extremely grave. If the Nine-Tails were to unleash the Tailed Beast Ball, he would have absolutely no chance of survival.

After a few seconds of thought, Shamon raised his katana, and a thick wave of sand surged up beneath his feet, carrying him towards the Nine-Tails.

"So eager to get yourself killed?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Kurama's eyes as it watched the Tanuki Knight ride the waves.

"He went up there! Is he going to give it away?"

The spectators were all puzzled as they watched Shamon, who was not only not seeking shelter but was instead charging headlong into the Tailed Beast Ball he was preparing.

"No, the teacher must have his reasons!"

Chiyo, however, had a different perspective. The girl clenched her hands, closed her eyes, and began to pray silently.

"Savor our enlightenment!"

Standing atop the sand dunes, Shamen calmed his mind, shutting out all the surrounding noise. His eyes were as still as a deep well, his right hand resting lightly on the buckle of his katana at his waist, his voice resolute.

"Click~"

"Bujin Sword Strike"

As the electronic voice sounded, a dark mist reappeared behind Shamen, and emerald green energy poured out.

"Is that... the moon?"

The monk raised his katana high, and to everyone's astonishment, drew a full moon in the black mist. The entire space froze instantly; everything was immobilized, and the passage of time ceased.

The smug look in the eyes of Kurama, who was preparing to create the Tailed Beast Ball, gradually faded. The power that Shamon was using actually carried an unfathomable space-time force.

"Whoosh!"

With his back to the full moon, Shamon unleashed the energy he had been gathering. A black-green slash tore through the sky and struck the Nine-Tails directly. After a brief pause, a violent explosion followed.

"Boom!"

The balancing act between Yin and Yang was instantly shattered. The Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Tail Ball died in its womb, and due to the spatial power-infused attack from Shamon, its body was torn apart by numerous spatial turbulence.

"Damn it! How do you have such power?"

Despite the excruciating pain, Kurama stared at Shamon, who remained wielding his weapon, and coldly questioned him, his eyes burning with tangible jealousy.

When did that foul-mouthed Cai Kun comprehend the power of spacetime?

"Heh, you think I'd tell you?"

Shukaku, smug and self-satisfied, poked its head out, sticking out its tongue with a smug expression. It would never miss an opportunity to mock Kurama.

"Hmph! So what if you know a few tricks? I don't believe you can keep using that dangerous power forever. I can fight you all day!"

Not wanting to acknowledge that bastard Shukaku, Kurama snorted and once again condensed dense tailed beast chakra around its body. Shamon frowned upon seeing this.

That move had a long cooldown; it required the combined power of him, Shukaku, and the Dragon Vein to unleash, and it demanded intense concentration.

It takes a lot of effort to control the strange spatial energy before it is released, and you have to wait a while after it is released.

"roar!"

Before Shamon could think further, he was enveloped by the crimson tailed beast cloak. Having learned its lesson, the Nine-Tails chose to take the initiative.

"Bang!"

After blocking the Nine-Tails' sneak attack with his sword, Shamon was instantly sent flying several meters away. Before he could land, red claws grabbed his waist and pulled him back, where he was hit by another heavy punch.

"puff!"

Unable to hold back, Shamon coughed up a mouthful of blood. His chest heaving with rage, he swung his sword and slashed at his arm at the waist.

The blade only managed to cut halfway before being flung away by the Nine-Tails, crashing heavily to the ground. Red blood slowly seeped from the gaps in the mask.

"Sigh~ Even though we're going to win, I just can't feel happy."

On the Konoha side, watching the fox knight directly beating up Shamon, their faces were filled with complex emotions, after all, this record was not set by Uchiha Madara.

"The teacher will never lose!"

Chiyo raised her head, her trembling voice filled with stubbornness.

"How boring~ A fox's life is as lonely as snow!"

Kurama, comfortably controlling its Tailed Beast Cloak, beat up Shamon, its expression one of utter dismay.

"Really? You think your success is entirely the result of your own hard work?"

Suddenly, a cool voice rang in the Nine-Tailed Fox's ears. The fox, who was having a great time, was a little smug and immediately responded, her face showing undisguised pride.

"Of course! This old man is a speed-sex champion. Huh? What about you!?"

"Have you had enough fun? If not, I'll get you some more?" (End of Chapter)
