Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

Chapter 61 Unlocks the Fourth Tier, Inner Demon Erupts

"Has Kirigakure gone mad? Despite implementing the Blood Mist Village policy for so many years and weakening its military—they're still sending out troops that are no less powerful than those in the previous Shinobi World Wars."

"If we are defeated, the Kirigakure line will be cut off for more than 15 years."

Hiashi Hyuga stared wide-eyed as a large group of Water Country ninjas rapidly approached from the sea, his inner pressure increasing dramatically.

The actual reinforcements sent to him were not many, just a total of eight hundred elite ninja soldiers.

What defines an elite? Starting from the level of a Chunin.

In particular, the members of the East Blue Team are all incredibly powerful and belong to a system that has never appeared in the ninja world before. In the battle, they have an absolute intelligence advantage.

However, when faced with overwhelming numbers on the other side, manpower is always limited.

The village's decision not to conscript cannon fodder ninja won the hearts of the people, but strained the front lines.

No one can conjure chakra out of thin air.

"Sigh—eight hundred it is."

"With the garrison troops and the clan ninja army I initially brought, nearly 2,500 ninjas can hold off an enemy force at least twice their size, and we can hold out for the short term."

"Lady Muzu is not in a hurry. The village has plenty of funds and has purchased a large number of explosive tags. As long as there are supplies on the arms market, the logistics department will immediately take them."

Having regained his fully restored Kotoamatsukami, Uchiha Shisui appeared remarkably calm. "Let them come ashore. Use the explosions to delay the Land of Water's offensive."

"Find another opportunity to assemble an elite infiltration team to assassinate the high-ranking members of the Mist Village from the rear."

The special operations in the Land of Earth that Uchiha Shu had previously orchestrated inspired Shisui.

In the past, various countries had carried out similar operations during the Ninja Wars, but none achieved the astonishing results as the Fifth Hokage's.

Hiashi nodded, clearing his mind of distractions, and said in a deep voice, "The Kotoamatsukami genjutsu has been exposed, and the information has been spread throughout the ninja world by Onoki's men. The Mizukage must be on guard now. I wonder if we can achieve another miraculous effect."

Above the sea.

As Kaguya watched a short figure carrying a strange club-like weapon move back and forth within the Hidden Mist camp, issuing orders, her expression turned serious.

"Water Shadow"

Kakashi Hatake flicked the blood off his short sword, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

A perfect water-attribute Jinchūriki.

The battle took place at sea, making it ideal for the enemy and their Moshiro ninja army to launch a large-scale water-style attack!

"According to the information provided by Obito, this Mizukage uses Water Release ninjutsu as casually as drinking water or eating. Similar to the First Hokage, he hardly ever forms hand seals, or he greatly simplifies the release process."

"Even the effects of the technique are quite different from those of ordinary Water Release ninjas."

"It would be best to use illusion magic to disrupt them."

As he spoke, Kakashi couldn't help but look at Kaguya's brow.

It contains one of Obito's Kamui eyes, and was once the strictest father of Yagura Karatachi.

"Water Release·Water Crush Wave."

The originally turbulent sea suddenly began to shake, forming a super tsunami.

Giant waves rose continuously from the sea, crashing towards the Konoha ninja camp!

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall."

Kakashi Hatake instantly landed at the forefront, leading a group of elite Anbu members and ninjas skilled in water-style chakra nature and transformation. They simultaneously formed hand seals, and a tall wall of water immediately rose from the sea, directly blocking the oncoming waves.

"Lady Kaguya, let's prepare to go ashore," suggested a squad leader from the Anbu.

In addition to her own formidable strength, Kaguya's special relationship with the Fifth Hokage also commanded respect from the elites present, giving her the air of being on par with the Hokage who assisted Hyuga Hiashi.

"Large-scale naval battles are ultimately not conducive to the performance of our Konoha ninjas."

Behind the ninja camp, Zhao Yingkong remained silent.

The first round of close-quarters combat that broke out not long ago ended with Konoha winning a great victory.

Currently, this kind of artillery-style group bombardment, covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers in radius, is not a situation where assassins can operate effectively.

"Shadow clones are so peculiar; even someone like me with spiritual power can't distinguish between the real and the fake." Spirit Clan prophet Honda Yui frowned.

"Memory sharing, even chakra is evenly distributed, and even the Otsutsuki eye technique cannot see through it, how could it be easily exposed?" Cyber ​​Buddha Paul, who was replenishing his ammunition, couldn't help but feel his heart bleeding.

Killing ninjas doesn't earn you any reward points.

In other words, he is paying to accumulate combat experience.

"No need to retreat." Princess Kaguya quickly assessed the situation.

In the blink of an eye.

Four or five Kirigakure Jonin ANBU used the artificial tide to sneak over and jumped out of the sea.

Kakashi, who had inherited the White Fang Sword Technique, once again swung his short blade and charged towards the Hidden Mist ninja!

Sizzle~

A flash of lightning, and several heads flew off.

The former Copy Ninja, having lost his Sharingan, is not weak but strong, his talent astonishing many of Konoha's Anbu.

They were also waiting for Kaguya-sama's further instructions.

In reality, she had no plan at all.

It's simply sensing that its owner is approaching.

Shikulin Forest.

Not long after Tsunade left.

"I sensed a special power, more terrifying than magic."

"Fifth Generation, what secret are you hiding?"

"It seems that I am using my Sage Mode of Shikkotsu Forest as a key to unlock a treasure vault, trying to impact something."

The slug ancestor, skilled in sensing, used the split body lying in Uchiha Shu's abdomen to deeply merge with him and vaguely sensed changes from the genetic lock.

It's not as simple as just learning immortal techniques!

-

Once the first level is unlocked, it can break through the limits of the human body, greatly improve physical fitness and reaction speed, and awaken combat instincts.

The second stage, based on the original, allows for a certain degree of subtle energy manipulation of one's own body (excluding the brain), greatly enhancing the utilization rate of bloodline, representing super-strong recovery, reaction speed, physical resilience and strength.

At the third level, one can simulate the thoughts and abilities of others. Once the mind and body are united, one can then strive for a higher level!

In this new life in the ninja world, this body, including the eyes, originally belonged to Uchiha Shu. How could the soul and body not be compatible?

All capabilities have been developed.

Having absorbed the power of nature for so long, and with his mind clear, how could Uchiha Shu, who already possessed the rudiments of the Mangekyou Sharingan, not be tempted!

Fourth order.

The first level, capable of altering the fate of those who reincarnate, is also the standard for judging whether a person has become a strong individual in the multiverse; it is also known as the realm of spiritual light.

A unique power belonging solely to the individual, symbolizing a profound understanding and breakthrough of oneself —

The thought abruptly ended.

Uchiha Shu clearly sensed the various genetic information substances contained within his body, and he had an almost instinctive intuition that he could adjust them.

There are essentially two standards for the initial stage of the fourth order:

Energy control with exquisite precision.

Microscopic mastery of gene modification.

Based on the fact that both can achieve applications that simulate energy cycles, and by discarding useless genes to 'create a perfect body'

Effect.

Therefore, Uchiha Shu began his operation, leveraging the immense natural chakra reserves of the Shikkotsu Forest to adjust and optimize his genes, bringing himself to his peak combat state. He meticulously controlled every ounce of power, unlocking the potential of every gene, thereby maximizing the use of his special abilities.

Without needing to look in a mirror, as he unleashed his genetic potential and scanned himself with his mental energy, Uchiha Xiu clearly saw the changes in his appearance—

It has two distinctive horns, one large and one small, growing from its head. Sharp spikes are distributed on its shoulders, and from the shoulders down, it is covered with irregular scale-like patterns.

The dominant gene of the Otsutsuki clan must be eliminated!

too ugly.

Just as Uchiha Shu was immersed in the joy of reshaping himself, an invisible force suddenly erupted in his heart.

It triggered the night of annihilation. Being so weak that he could only write about his imperial uncle to improve his life, he couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

During my time at the Ninja Academy, I didn't have much strength to rely on, let alone face various wandering ninjas and underground black market hunters, and I couldn't find a reasonable reason to apply to leave the village.

After graduation, every time I went out of the village to carry out a mission, the eyes of the elite Chunin leading the team always carried a subtle sense of scrutiny and surveillance.

The smell of blood was spreading.

The blades of Itachi, Obito, Danzo, and the Third Hokage drew ever closer, yet Uchiha Xiu remained completely unmoved.

That's it? The legendary inner demons aren't that powerful.

Under the watchful gaze of the Slug Ancestor, he sat calmly in meditation, watching the executioner's blade fall upon him with a smile, for his eyes held a pair of original Mangekyou Sharingan.

If this illusion were to become reality, then let's overthrow Konoha Village forever on this very night!

I confronted them.

Besides, reincarnators are not so easy to kill.

What's so scary?

The next moment, the scene shattered and then rebuilt itself.

July, Konoha Year 58.

It was already late at night.

The Uchiha clan, who participated in the founding of Konoha and have stood in the ninja world for a thousand years since the establishment of the Ninja Clan, now live in a place where every household is without a light.

Under the moonlight, blood splattered, and cries of agony and resentful questions could be heard from time to time.

A horrific massacre unfolded, and Konoha, whose high-end combat power was already dwindling, still chose to turn the blade inward.

That night was undoubtedly bloody!

In the darkness of night, Uchiha Itachi, having slaughtered women and children and the ordinary clansmen who had not yet awakened their Sharingan, walked in a forest outside the clan's territory. His expression appeared extremely calm, as if he were taking a stroll to digest his food.

"The warrant for your arrest will be issued tomorrow morning, and the symbolic hunt team will be deployed at noon."

"Seize the time and leave the Land of Fire as soon as possible."

"Don't worry about what that person promised you. Sasuke will grow up healthy. Kakashi will be his mentor after he graduates from the Ninja Academy."

So they've been incorporated into the Hokage's master-disciple succession system? — In that case, the clansmen died a worthy death.

The speaking shadowy figure vanished in a flash.

Immediately afterward, space slightly distorted, and a mysterious figure wearing a spiral mask abruptly appeared beside Itachi, sneering, "Your brother Sasuke's aptitude is far too poor. He only managed to awaken one tomoe after such a huge shock. Hmph, a disgrace to our Uchiha clan, a complete loser!"

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha, like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, calmly looked over without responding.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious man who called himself Madara smiled and continued coldly, "Some of the three-tomoe clan members have lost their eyes, and some have even disappeared along with their corpses."

"I suspect it was Danzo's doing. Do you think the Third Hokage, who promised to take care of Sasuke, gave any hints? That kind-looking old monkey isn't as upright and selfless as you think."

"By the way, that three-tomoe girl named Izumi, her body is being transported to the Root. She's obviously being used as research material."

The weasel remained expressionless, seemingly indifferent, but its fist, hidden beneath its sleeve, was clenched tightly, indicating some kind of inner turmoil.

"Speaking of which, you're incredibly magnanimous. How does it feel to kill your own parents? Tsk, using the Kaleidoscope on your own brother? Aren't you afraid he'll have a mental breakdown and go insane?"

It's not far away.

The pale moonlight spilled onto the corpses of their kin scattered across the ground, and blood flowed through the cracks in the stone slabs.

The stench made Uchiha Shu vomit, and the gruesome knife wound on his neck was quickly healed.

Looking around, he saw that his fellow clansmen, who had been so lively and enthusiastic just this morning, were now corpses.

The faint cries of children and the desperate wails of his people echoed in his ears.

"Why—why not stop all of this?"

"Aren't you an omnipotent time traveler?"

His inner demon manifested as his own voice, low and venomous: "In the end, I couldn't protect anything."

The ancient genetic instincts awakened at the fourth stage completely merged with the obsession and hatred in the Uchiha bloodline, transforming into boundless killing desires that assaulted Uchiha Shu's mind.

At this moment, he still had a shred of rationality to maintain himself, and he could clearly perceive the restlessness of every strand of chakra in his body and precisely control the power of every inch of his muscles.

Similarly, the power of subtle perception amplifies one's senses infinitely, intensifying the torment from inner demons.

Self-blame, regret, anger, bloodlust—all negative emotions were amplified infinitely. Uchiha Xiu clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, drawing blood, yet he felt no pain whatsoever.

"Kill them—kill all our enemies! Let the entire world be buried with the Uchiha!"

The inner demon urged him on frantically, causing his body to tremble slightly, and the bloodshot veins in his Sharingan spread to the entire white of his eyes.

"Once you fall into this trap, you will either become a monster that only knows how to kill, or you will be consumed by the backlash of your chakra and explode to your death."

Uchiha Shu wanted to break free and hold onto his true self. He was too hasty, rashly entering the fourth tier, thinking he was only hovering on the edge and wouldn't trigger the inner demons that truly tormented reincarnators in the middle of the fourth tier.

Each act of resistance triggers excruciating pain in the mind, with the scenes of genocide created by inner demons constantly replaying themselves: the eyes of fellow children, the dripping blood, the thorns of the roots and the village, all relentlessly binding the will.

His chakra began to become disordered, his subtle power went out of control, and the natural chakra around his body was torn apart by the hurricane. The swamp beneath Uchiha Shu's feet churned.

The pure killing instinct is being unleashed!

The slug clone, which was providing Sage Chakra and was lying on his abdomen, trembled and hesitated about whether to leave.

If the Fifth Generation goes berserk, my lifespan will probably come to an end.

Is this guy under an illusion?

There's no reason for it. The Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha clan already has top-tier resistance to genjutsu, and with the tailed beast within them providing warning, plus the fact that they were right under my nose—

The Patriarch of Shigulin thought helplessly.

The world of inner demons.

"What should we do!"

"Either resolve your inner conflict, or overcome it with force, or unite with your inner demons, or die directly or become a zombie and be resurrected." Uchiha Xiu, who had gradually forgotten his identity as a reincarnator and blurred the boundary between reality and illusion, gritted his teeth and let out a hoarse growl.

Consciousness is repeatedly torn between lucidity and madness.

Corpses littered the ground, blood filled the sky, and his inner demons manifested as countless phantoms of his kind: Uncle Zhenyi, Elder Xin, the pregnant neighbor aunt—all surrounding him, accusing and weeping, dragging him into endless self-reproach.

The weak dare not seek revenge.

However, his inner demons gave him the means to seek revenge. His Sharingan with one tomoe instantly transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan, achieving Kage-level strength, and his chakra reserves were unimaginably vast.

Why aren't you killing him?

Uchiha Shu raised his hand.

Village hospital.

A delicate-looking toddler, unconscious, screamed in terror as a voice, like a nightmare, echoed in his mind countless times: "My foolish little brother."

"If you want to kill me, then hate me, curse me, and live a wretched, ugly life, constantly running away, just to survive. Then one day, when you have eyes like mine, come before me!"

Immediately, the door to the hospital bed was pushed open.

A kind-looking old man, dressed in a long robe over a red ninja uniform and wearing a straw hat, walked in, seemingly having timed his entrance perfectly.

"Sasuke, everyone is concerned about you. If you feel unwell, please tell the Third Hokage."

She showed no concern even when her eldest grandson, Konohamaru, was ill.

Facing the kind and amiable Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sasuke appeared dazed and did not respond; the genjutsu continued.

"Oh, poor child, get some rest. The village has set up a special medical team, and the village will take full responsibility for your well-being from now on."

Turning his head, the Third Hokage instructed the medical ninja and nurse beside him, "Take good care of him."

"Yes, Lord Sandai."

After doing all this, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced deeply at the lifeless child on the hospital bed out of the corner of his eye, and his guilt only deepened.

"Hiruzen, quickly hand that child over to me for training. He will become Konoha's sharpest sword."

A sound suddenly came from the corner of the wall.

Sarutobi squinted, his old face, with a pipe in his mouth, swept over his old comrade-in-arms.

"Danzo, don't go near that child. Konoha owes him too much. Sasuke is innocent."

boom!

As they were talking, a terrifying surge of chakra shot into the sky without any concealment.

Scattered throughout the Uchiha clan's territory, collecting eyes and corpses, the Root ninjas responsible for finishing off the victims went blank and collapsed to the ground.

"This chilling chakra—"

"It's the Uchiha!"

Simply by unleashing the chakra within the body, such power can be generated.

He's a pretty terrifying guy.

"The Jonin team, assemble immediately!"

"roar!!

"6

An inhuman roar exploded in the world of Uchiha Shushinma.

external.

The slug ancestor, buried deep underground, trembled with fear. He longed to ask:

Fifth Generation, are you awake?

Who exactly are they fighting in this illusion? The Sage of Six Paths? The entire Shikkotsu Forest trembled.

"The problem seems to originate from the depths of the mind." The slug sage, with his extraordinary perception, could discern a clue, but that was all.

He had never seen such a strange Uchiha before. No, even the Otsutsuki clan members in the starry sky probably didn't have this kind of potential.

"Let him be, don't make things worse."

The murderous intent continued to spread.

A dignified immortal can do nothing but pray; he can only helplessly fail to fulfill Tsunade's request before leaving.

"How many flights of stairs do you have to carry a bag of rice up?"

At this very moment, the inner demon Uchiha Xiu is inflicting pain on Konoha. His crimson Susanoo, like the Blood Demon, casually swings its blood-dripping sword, and a group of ninjas die.

Houses collapsed street by street.

Mitokado, a senior advisor to Konoha, was the first to die.

Koharu Utatane, a veteran medical ninja, was manipulated by genjutsu and seized the opportunity to use a chakra scalpel to precisely sever the head of her old comrade Danzo.

The aging Hiruzen Sarutobi, having lost his Vajra Enma, could only hold out for a few moments before being reduced to a dead monkey in front of the complete Susanoo.

kill!

The ringleader is dead, but the madman Uchiha Shu continues his killing spree, wiping out every life he sees.
