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

Chapter 564 What's wrong with giving my younger brother some toys?

"Is it malfunctioning again?"

As Madara Uchiha examined the unresponsive shipwrecked ninja tool, his brow furrowed slightly. This ninja tool was indeed powerful, but it occasionally malfunctioned.

For example, when Erzhuzi was washing his underwear, the shipbreaker even showed signs of being attacked.

"Erzhuzi, you guys stay away."

After a brief moment of thought, Madara Uchiha concluded that Sasuke, being his teammate, was too close, causing the Shipbreaker to malfunction. Therefore, he urged Sasuke to distance himself.

"I know it's a bird, I know it's a bird~"

Black Zetsu had been feeling uncomfortable under Uchiha Gin's almost X-ray vision for a long time and couldn't wait to leave.

Are you leaving or not?

Looking at Kakuzu beside him, Black Zetsu asked, "This greedy guy has accepted my services, so he should be considered half a teammate."

"this"

Kakuzu sensed the intense tension between Madara Uchiha and Kamen Rider Decade, and immediately looked troubled.

Of course, this tension was unilaterally released by my older cousin.

Although Madara Uchiha and his group were his employers, Kamen Rider Decade had shown him kindness and support. He was always very clear-headed about choosing sides in these situations.

"Damn it, I'm not doing this job. It's just double compensation, right?"

Having made his decision, Kakuzu stepped forward and stood beside Uchiha Gin, uttering these words that caused his heart to bleed.

"you?"

Gin Uchiha glanced at Kakuzu beside him with considerable surprise, raising an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that Kakuzu, that miserly guy, would actually give away gold coins to help him.

"I firmly support Emperor Knight as the leader."

Kakuzu isn't stupid. How could a mere Uchiha Madara possibly be a match for Kamen Rider Decade, the creator of all knights?

If he doesn't take sides now, does he have to wait until Madara Uchiha gets beaten to a pulp before he does?

"Okay, okay!"

Since you say so, then you are also my enemy. The shipbreaker is already starving.

Madara Uchiha gave Black Zetsu a cold glance, and the latter instantly understood the implication, retreating several steps to create a large distance between them.

What happened?

Seeing that Black Zetsu had retreated out of his sight, and that the Shipbreaker in his hand remained unresponsive, and feeling the mocking gaze emanating from beneath the Decade's visor, Madara Uchiha was starting to lose face.

"hateful."

This piece of junk, I'll send it back to my older cousin to get it fixed after this is over.

With a slightly cold expression, Madara Uchiha stuffed the shipbreaker back into the storage scroll, then pulled out a black, massive axe from another scroll.

"Boom!"

The broad axe blade slammed into the ground, easily slicing through the hard surface like tofu.

"We don't need the Shipbreaker to deal with you."

Raising the Black Cleaver, Madara Uchiha's tone was harsh, but his heart was pounding.

While the Black Cleaver's design looks intimidating, its effectiveness is far inferior to the Shipbreaker. It struggles even against a clone, let alone the enigmatic Decade Knight before it.

"Oh, really?"

Gin Uchiha knew better than anyone why the Shipbreaker failed. With his own ally, who was practically invincible, present, it would be a miracle if the artifact even triggered its effect.

"Actually, there's no need for things to get so tense between us."

Looking at his older cousin, whose entire body was tense and whose eyes had unconsciously activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Gin shrugged and said very sincerely,

"I know he's your spoils of war. How about this: you hand him over to me for research, and in exchange, I'll give you a gift, okay?"

"Enough talk, let's fight first."

Madara Uchiha was indeed tempted by Decade's suggestion, but a master's dignity couldn't be compromised.

You think you can just say you won't fight? Does the Darkness of the Ninja World have any dignity left?

"ha!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Madara Uchiha leaped into the air, raising his Black Cleaver and bringing it down on Gin Uchiha's head. The fierce gust of wind sent the surrounding vegetation swaying wildly.

"Watch out, Kamen Rider Decade!"

Despite his face being distorted by the wind, Kakuzu rapidly formed hand seals. Even after years of roaming the ninja world as a knight, he hadn't forgotten his old profession.

Facing the impending giant axe, he opened his mouth wide, and a high-pressure wind ball shot out, transforming into a vortex-shaped storm the instant it made contact with Uchiha Madara.

【Wind Release: Pressure Damage】

"A trivial skill."

Madara Uchiha sneered, his eyes narrowing sharply as a blue plastic half-body bag was instantly draped over him.

"Bang!"

The vortex storm crashed into the blue half-body Susanoo, yet it couldn't cause him the slightest damage. Kakuzu's expression changed drastically; this was a Wind Release technique he had meticulously prepared.

"Fire Release: First Stroke."

Seeing the opportunity slip away, Kakuzu continued to raise his hands and form hand seals, a wisp of scorching chakra spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Stand still and behave."

Madara Uchiha, still suspended in mid-air, glared, his cold, sinister gaze instantly binding Kakuzu, who was preparing to unleash his full power.

The genjutsu released by the Kaleidoscope was so powerful that even tailed beasts couldn't withstand it, let alone a mere prison.

"Hmm"

Kakuzu felt a tightness all over his body, and the chakra surging through his meridians slowed to a snail's pace.

"Heh heh, prepare to die!"

With Kakuzu removed as an obstacle, Madara Uchiha's face lit up with arrogance, and he swung his axe with renewed vigor.

"I can only say that you are truly worthy of this."

Uchiha Gin looked helplessly at his older cousin, who was pointing a sword at him. He'd been so mature for so many years, yet he was still as reckless as he was when he was a child.

"Tap~!"

Slowly raising one hand, Uchiha Gin calmly snapped his fingers.

Hearing the crisp, loud snap of his fingers, Madara Uchiha was startled.

Many years have passed since he last saw Decade in action, and he can't guarantee that he has grown to a level comparable to Decade's.

Although he hadn't used the Mangekyou Sharingan's abilities for a long time, Gin Uchiha still possessed considerable skill in manipulating the Shadow Realm.

"Shadow Gap".

A black crack emanating an eerie aura suddenly appeared on the path where Uchiha Madara was falling.

"what?"

The gate to the Shadow Realm appeared so quickly that Madara Uchiha didn't even have time to react before he was plunged headfirst into the strange and unpredictable dark space.

"This is?"

With the caster gone, the genjutsu binding Kakuzu naturally dissipated, and he regained his freedom. He looked at the still-open gate to the Shadow Realm in mid-air, his face full of confusion. This was a technique he had never seen before.

"It's a nice place, would you like to go in and take a look?"

Uchiha Gin turned his head and extended a very warm invitation.

"Thank you, I'll definitely do it next time."

"Only a fool would go to such a strange place," Kakuzu shook his head vigorously.

"That's such a pity."

He shook his head with considerable regret. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it. The Shadow Realm is a great place to hone your mind."

"Thud!"

"Where is this place?"

Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara, having landed in the Shadow Realm, warily surveyed the chaotic surroundings. Although everything around him was monochromatic, it was no different from reality.

"Huh? He's still able to stay conscious."

Just as Madara Uchiha frowned, a slightly surprised voice sounded behind him.

"Let me out right now, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Wielding his giant axe, Madara Uchiha's expression gradually turned frenzied, his crimson eyes becoming even more vivid.

It turns out he was relying on his pupil power to hold on.

Noticing that his younger cousin's mental state was becoming increasingly unstable as his eye power weakened, Uchiha Gin nodded secretly.

"Didn't you hear me, you rabbit-headed idiot!"

Faced with his increasingly disrespectful younger cousin, Uchiha Gin refused to tolerate it. With a thought, countless tentacles made of shadows surged from the surrounding darkness, binding Uchiha Madara hand and foot and suspending him.

"Despicable guy"

Within the Shadow Realm, Madara Uchiha's prized eyes quickly lost their function, and his formidable willpower succumbed after only a few minutes.

"Where are you, hot mom from Harbin?"

"Waaaaah, I really want to go home."

"Konoha, your emperor has returned!"

"Big cousin, no, no, this is too much! Izuna will be jealous if he sees such a big red envelope."

"."

Seeing his younger cousin's ever-changing expressions, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, Uchiha Gin knew that the boy had been completely infected by the Shadow Realm's debuff. If left unchecked, he would soon become a mentally challenged person who could only babble "Aba aba."

"Click~ Click~ Click~"

"That's about it."

After enjoying his younger cousin's ridiculous antics for a while longer, Uchiha Gin put away his magenta camera with satisfaction, raised his hand to summon the exit of the Shadow Realm, and walked out carrying the grinning Uchiha Madara.

"Hand over the stigmata!"

Before he even landed, Uchiha Gin heard an angry shout. Turning around, he saw that Sasuke, who had just fled, had returned and was now confronting Kakuzu.

"Knight Decade!"

Kakuzu looked at Decade, who was carrying Madara Uchiha, and shouted excitedly.

"You really are a great teammate."

Uchiha Gin, who was carrying Uchiha Madara, looked at Sasuke with some surprise. He hadn't expected his cousin to actually have such a loyal follower, far superior to Black Zetsu from the original timeline.

Black Zetsu warily watched Uchiha Gin suddenly emerge from the black rift. This spatial ability... it was the same as his mother's.

"What did you do to Madara?"

His gaze quickly fell on Uchiha Madara, whom Uchiha Gin was carrying, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen Madara Uchiha so disheveled.

Even when facing Isshiki Otsutsuki, Madara Uchiha didn't turn into this state.

"Hot Mom from Hashi, don't run away!"

Looking down at his older cousin, who was grinning foolishly and rambling incoherently, Uchiha Gin gently shook his head. The aftereffects of the Shadow Realm were quite strong.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine in a bit."

Since this Sasuke (a character from Journey to the West) is so concerned about his younger cousin, it means he's a trustworthy person. Uchiha Gin tossed Uchiha Madara away.

"Here you go!"

Seeing his younger cousin nestled safely in the other's arms, Uchiha Gin turned to check on the clone, who had been tortured beyond recognition.

Like the previous Number One, this was also a near-perfect clone, with overall strength comparable to the normal Hashirama in prison, and even in better physical condition.

Without the blessing of Ashura's chakra, its vitality is slightly inferior.

Activating his Pure Eye and scanning the clone, Uchiha Silver Hair discovered that the clone's body contained abundant Seven-Tails chakra, with a quality almost identical to that of the original Chomei.

However, these chakras lacked the consciousness of tailed beasts and were in an extremely violent state. It was only because they were in Hashirama's prison that they were able to escape; otherwise, an ordinary person would probably have gone berserk long ago.

"This thing's got something special~"

After checking the clone's physical condition, Uchiha Gin finally focused his gaze on the grotesquely designed driver at the clone's waist. With just a glance, he could tell that it was a technologically advanced device.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Driven by curiosity, Uchiha Gin reached for the driver, but after trying for a long time, he couldn't get it off.

"Holy crap, this thing is actually part of your body?"

After some examination, Uchiha Gin arrived at an unexpected answer: the driver, shaped like a gaping maw of an abyss, was actually a device that grew from his waist and was symbiotic with his body.

Touching his chin, Uchiha Gin took out a black scalpel that gleamed with a chilling light and pointed it directly at the clone that was taking in more air than it was exhaling.

At this very moment, in the Valley Kingdom, thousands of miles away...

"Master, Number Seven has gone missing."

Inside the secret laboratory of Valley Kingdom Pharmaceutical Technology Company, the staff responsible for monitoring the clones quickly discovered that Number Seven, who was out on a mission, was now out of contact. Being out of contact meant the clone was on the verge of death.

Who did he encounter before he went missing?

Upon hearing this unpleasant news, Cixian, seated in his high position, slowly stopped swirling the red wine in his hand, a flash of displeasure crossing his dark eyes.

"Reporting to Master, according to the data transmitted by the sensor device carried on Number Seven's abdomen, he encountered the One-Tailed Rider and the Seven-Tailed Rider, and..."

"And what?"

Seeing his subordinate hesitate, Cixian frowned slightly.

"Second in line for collection number two."

Boom!

Upon hearing this code name, Cixian's wine glass, unable to bear the weight, shattered and scattered on the ground, the bright red wine slowly trickling down his pale arm.

"It's him again."

Touching her throbbing cheek, Cixian's displeasure intensified. That guy actually dared to show up again; he was practically courting death.

"Was Number Seven killed by him?"

"I am unaware."

They only detected the disappearance of Number Seven and the appearance of Madara Uchiha, but they cannot conclude from this that Number Seven was killed by Madara Uchiha.

"Forget it, let's teleport his body back. Tailed beast chakra is a valuable experimental material."

Seeing his trembling subordinate, Jigen magnanimously shook his head. Number Seven would most likely have lost his life if he encountered Uchiha Madara; the outcome would have been the same for any other clone.

"yes!"

"Laodu, you'd better hold on tight, or you'll get splattered with blood."

Uchiha Gin, wielding a scalpel, was making incisions on the dying clone, while Kakuzu, whom he had forcibly brought in as his assistant, was painfully pressing down on the clone's twisted and deformed lower body.

Pfft!

He aimed carefully and swiftly brought the knife down, causing a spurt of blood to gush out. The prison guard quickly turned his head away.

Sensing the loss of something important to him, the clone, who was barely clinging to life, stared wide-eyed.

"Ah~"

"Sorry, I switched to the wrong place."

With a hint of disgust, he wiped the blood-free scalpel, then subtly kicked aside a ham and two eggs at his feet, his gaze refocusing on the large, mouth-shaped driver at the other's waist.

"What did you just do to me?!"

Just as Uchiha Gin raised his sword again, Uchiha Madara's furious voice suddenly rang out, interrupting his action.

"Tsk~ You woke up at the worst possible time."

Turning to look at his angry cousin, Uchiha Gin habitually scratched his head, rummaged through his bag for a while, and finally pulled out a uniquely shaped magenta camera.

This one is a bit like a supermodel.

Looking at the version 2.0 driver, he thought for a moment, then put it back, and instead pulled out a white camera.

Strength 1.0 is just right.

"Here, take this. Go play with nitrogen over there!"
