Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

"Nagato, you've lost!"

Hoshita Shuichi looked down at Nagato, whose body was now only half-dead.

"yes……"

Nagato slowly closed his eyes, his mind flashing back to all his past experiences.

His parents were killed by Konoha ninja when he was young, and he wandered alone, struggling to survive with Yahiko and Konan. He studied under Jiraiya and was betrayed by Hanzo and Danzo...

"I'm such a failure!"

Nagato opened her eyes.

Xingxia Xiu said, "It's too early to say that now. You've only lost to me."

He looked towards Madara Uchiha: "Get up and join me in eliminating the greatest obstacle to world peace!"

Nagato reached out and grasped the staff. The last Truth-Seeking Ball fell, and his lower body slowly began to heal: "I will keep my promise!"

However, at that very moment, Black Zetsu emerged from the ground and quickly covered Nagato's body.

"What?"

"Black Zetsu..."

Nagato was shocked to find his body rapidly spiraling out of control. He quickly tried to concentrate his strength to resist and stop the Black One from eroding him.

Hoshita Shuichi naturally noticed it too, frowning as he looked on: "That Akatsuki member... is this Madara Uchiha's backup plan?"

Black Zetsu, now covering half of Nagato's face, chuckled, "That's not all!"

Sensing something, Hoshino Shizuka looked towards Hashirama Senju.

On the battlefield, a Madara Uchiha emerged from the ground.

Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze were both startled: "It's a Wood Release clone!"

Madara Uchiha raised one hand, and Nagato, who was blocking Black Zetsu, let out a shrill scream. On the right half of his body that was not covered by Black Zetsu, black rods grew out.

Nagato gritted his teeth: "I clearly removed that cursed seal..."

Hoshino Shuuichi said, "Because your Rinnegan comes from Uchiha Madara, you have a portion of his chakra within you."

"Madara Uchiha has been waiting for the right moment to weaken you."

Black Zetsu was startled, but he had no time to think about it. With the combined power of Madara Uchiha's Wood Release clone, he quickly began to erode Nagato's body.

Hoshino Shizuka watched quietly.

On the other side, Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze, who were watching Madara Uchiha's Wood Release clone, did not make a move immediately.

"It seems they want to manipulate Nagato to use the Samsara Rebirth Technique to revive him."

Minato Namikaze, sweat beading on his forehead, said, "Shuichi's attempt to lure out the real mastermind through this method is far too risky."

Hashirama Senju frowned, a hint of hesitation in his mind.

He knew about Hoshino Shuichi's plan, which was why he didn't act immediately.

But if Nagato, as the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, was already this terrifying, then if Madara Uchiha succeeded, it would be even more terrifying.

At that time...

Under the suppression of the Ming Shen Sect.

Madara Uchiha frowned.

Hoshino Shuichi didn't stop Black Zetsu's side, and neither did Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze stop his clones. Something felt off.

This was not what he expected.

Although this would indeed help him to be resurrected.

At this moment, Madara Uchiha suddenly found it difficult to see through Hoshino Shuichi's purpose.

"However, none of that matters; resurrection is the most important thing."

Madara Uchiha smiled: "Once resurrected, we can completely eliminate any obstacle!"

……

"That Black Zetsu guy can even control Nagato! He was hiding his power from me before!"

Obito Uchiha was shocked, but even more puzzled by Shuichi Hoshita's actions: "Why didn't you stop him?"

"Are we just going to stand by and watch Madara Uchiha be resurrected because of someone whose very existence is uncertain?"

At this moment, Obito Uchiha could no longer sit still.

Uchiha Shisui sensed something and turned his gaze away from Hoshino Shuichi: "Although this is extremely dangerous, I absolutely trust Shuichi's judgment!"

Uchiha Shisui's gaze fell on Uchiha Obito, and his Mangekyou Sharingan quietly bloomed, ready to activate his eye technique at any moment.

On the other side, the eight tailed beasts that had just escaped were equally puzzled by Hoshino Shuichi's behavior.

However, out of trust in Shuichi Hoshino, they have not taken any action for the time being.

……

Clang!

Nagato's staff fell to the ground, and he gritted his teeth, shouting, "Hoshita Shuichi, finish me off immediately!"

He was no longer able to resist!

Compared to Obito Uchiha in the original story, his ability to resist was actually weaker because he possessed Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

In response to Nagato's words, Hoshino Shuichi said, "To be honest, I really want to see just how strong Madara Uchiha was at his peak."

"I have no interest in even lifting a finger against him after he's been resurrected using Edo Tensei."

Nagato slowly raised his hand and, under the combined control of Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha, formed hand seals.

Heretical Path - The Art of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life!

The ninjutsu was activated, and under the Mingshen Gate, a puff of white smoke came out of the body of the Evil World Uchiha Madara.

Hashirama Senju's gaze darkened, and he shouted, "Fourth Hokage, Madara has been resurrected! Be careful!"

Minato Namikaze nodded: "Understood!"

boom!

The Myojin Gate suddenly exploded, and Madara Uchiha slowly got up.

Then his armor began to peel off little by little, even his eyes, until they were completely empty.

With his eyes closed and shirtless, Madara Uchiha laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I'm finally back!"

"So, what's next..."

Madara Uchiha looked at Hashirama Senju with his eyes closed.

The next moment, with a loud bang, the ground where Hashirama Senju was standing exploded.

After the dust settled, only Madara Uchiha remained standing in the same spot: "They escaped pretty quickly..."

……

Suddenly, Minato Namikaze appeared beside Shuichi Hoshino with Hashirama Senju.

At the same time, Nagato suddenly flew up from the ground and rushed towards Madara Uchiha.

Hoshino Shuichi still did not make a move, but quietly watched as Black Zetsu brought Nagato to reunite with Uchiha Madara.

"That Hoshino Shuichi is a bit strange."

Black Zetsu reminded Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha chuckled: "He's just an arrogant guy who thinks he can defeat everything just because he defeated Nagato, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

As he spoke, he took the Rinnegan that had been taken from Nagato's eyes and then installed it on himself.

Black Zetsu controlled Nagato and pressed his hand on the ground, releasing the Gedo Mazo.

Everything seems to have returned to square one.

Madara Uchiha opened his Rinnegan and looked towards the eight tailed beasts: "Next, we'll take back these beasts."

"Of course, we need to get rid of some trouble first."

Black Zetsu said, "My suggestion is to first retrieve the eight tailed beasts and make them the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki before dealing with that Hoshino Shuichi."

Madara Uchiha looked at Shuichi Hoshita and said, "Don't worry about that."

Despite his overflowing confidence, he still acknowledged the strength that Hoshino Shuichi had previously demonstrated.

It's very difficult to get rid of just a pair of Sharingan eyes.

……

On the other side, Hoshino Shuuichi said to Minato Namikaze, "Minato-sensei, let's begin according to the plan!"

Minato Namikaze nodded and disappeared.

Hashirama Senju asked, "Shuichi, have you noticed the person behind this that you mentioned?"

Hoshino nodded: "First Generation Lord, I am now certain that the so-called Eye of the Moon Project is a huge trap."

"Although we don't know the purpose of this trap yet, the Black Zetsu that controlled Nagato just now, that guy couldn't have been created by just a pair of Rinnegan."

Senju Hashirama looked at the black substance covering half of Nagato's body near Uchiha Madara and said, "It looks like a product of Yin-Yang Release."

Hoshino Shuichi added, "And those White Zetsu in vegetative states, if they are all copies of you, First Hokage, then the number is enormous."

The vague guidance left Hashirama Senju frowning, utterly perplexed.

At this time, the disappeared Minato Namikaze had already brought Nohara Rin to Uchiha Obito.

"Lin!"

Obito Uchiha exclaimed in surprise, "Sensei, Rin is not suited for this battlefield."

Minato Namikaze said, "I'm just giving you the complete Kaleidoscope. From now on, you'll be fighting alongside Shuichi."

"Madara Uchiha becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki is something Nagato could never match."

Rin Nohara smiled broadly and said, "Obito, don't worry, I'm no longer a Jinchūriki, so I won't be a primary target."

"Besides, I'm not the same person I used to be."

After glancing at the sword Rin Nohara was carrying, Obito Uchiha paused for a moment, then removed his mask: "Alright!"

"But Lin, you'd better go to the medical unit; that's the best place for you."

Nohara Rin smiled and said, "Okay, let's get started."

Obito Uchiha nodded, and then began to change his eyes.

This was no difficulty for Nohara Rin; she simply replaced the kaleidoscope with her original eye.

As for the three-tomoe Sharingan that Obito Uchiha had replaced, he didn't waste it. Instead, he used Izanagi ahead of time by transcribing it.

The eye transplant took less than a minute, after which Minato Namikaze said, "Shisui, I'd like you to deal with the guy controlling Nagato, force him to abandon Nagato, and bring Nagato back!"

Uchiha Shisui immediately nodded: "Yes, Fourth Hokage!"

After giving his instructions, Minato Namikaze immediately disappeared with Rin Nohara.

Uchiha Shisui smiled at Uchiha Obito and said, "It seems we'll be fighting side-by-side from now on!"

Obito Uchiha said, "I hope you made the right choice!"

"Don't worry, Shuichi definitely won't make a mistake!"

Uchiha Shisui had absolute confidence, and after saying that, he leaped away.

Immediately afterwards, Obito Uchiha also used Kamui, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

After nodding to Hashirama Senju, Hoshinoichi took to the air and blocked Madara Uchiha, who was about to attack the tailed beasts.

The Border Prison of Wheel Graves!

Madara Uchiha had no intention of getting entangled at this moment. He directly used the unique eye technique of his Rinnegan to create three shadow clones at once.

Sensing this, Hoshino Shuichi feigned surprise: "The Rinnegan's eye technique?"

Shadow Clone Technique!

Three shadow clones appeared beside Hoshino Shizuka and rushed forward, engaging in a fierce battle with Uchiha Madara's shadow.

"He's definitely a tough one..."

Madara Uchiha soared into the sky, conjuring a massive black sphere in his hand before it disintegrated and scattered.

Earth-shattering Heavenly Star!

Madara Uchiha completed his ninjutsu before Shuichi Hoshino arrived.

Rumble!

The earth shook violently, then shattered, sending massive boulders soaring into the sky, rapidly forming huge meteorites before plummeting back down.

Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Obito, Senju Hashirama, and Namikaze Minato, who had sent Nohara Rin back, were all within the attack range.

Hoshita Shuichi continued his act, shouting, "Gyuki, you guys hold off Uchiha Madara for a while, I'll deal with these meteors first!"

Eight-Tails immediately shouted, "No problem, we can handle Uchiha Madara at this level."

Shukaku sensed something was wrong: "Don't be careless, this guy's Rinnegan ability is somewhat different from Nagato's."

"See that battle over there? Be careful, don't get captured again after you've just been rescued."

Eight-tailed Fox said in a deep voice, "Of course I know that."

"However, we have eight of them, so we should be able to handle it!"

Four-Tails said softly, "He's already here. Get ready!"

Shukaku roared, "Let's show this bastard the power of the Tailed Beasts!"

The other tailed beasts responded in unison, each preparing to launch their fiercest attack.

However, before Madara Uchiha's main body arrived, the attack had already silently struck.

Hoshino Shuichi is already at the level of the Sage of Six Paths and can sense the shadow of Limbo: Border Jail, but the Eight-Tails and the others cannot.

Madara Uchiha released two shadows to launch an attack, and with a series of muffled thuds, one tailed beast after another was sent flying.

"What happened?"

Hashirama Senju and Minato Namikaze were both shocked by what they saw.

At this moment, the tailed beasts are like little children.

"The same Rinnegan, but the difference is too great!"

Hashirama Senju couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Minato Namikaze nodded, thinking to himself, "In that case, there won't be any problem for Madara Uchiha to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki."

the other side.

After being chased by Uchiha Shisui for a while, Black Zetsu decisively abandoned Nagato.

Although being the former Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails is still somewhat useful, being watched will not be conducive to his future actions.

Watching Black Zetsu disappear into the ground, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but feel a sense of unease: "This guy is indeed extraordinary; he completely ignored my Kotoamatsukami!"

Yes, he just released Kotoamatsukami into Black Zetsu in an attempt to control him, but it was completely ineffective.

This is clearly unusual.

Why did Hoshinobu allow Madara Uchiha to be resurrected?

The opening of the restored Nagato.

Seeing that Nagato was somewhat weak, Uchiha Shisui stepped forward to support him and explained, "It's to lure out the person who created the Eye of the Moon plan."

"Shuichi realized that Uchiha Madara was also a pawn, and that there were even more terrifying people hiding."

"You should have been able to sense that the guy who controlled you just now was very unusual."

Nagato looked up at Hoshino Shuichi and Uchiha Obito, who were rapidly dealing with the meteorites in the sky, and nodded: "That's right."

"But what if there's someone even more terrifying? Does he have enough confidence to handle it?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled: "I believe in Shuichi!"

Boom~~

Huge meteorites exploded, and countless pieces of debris fell.

As Hoshinoichi dispersed and the God of the Heavenly Stars fell from the sky, Uchiha Madara on the other side happened to be putting the eight tailed beasts back into the Gedo Mazo.

However, at the same time, Uchiha Madara's three shadows were also immobilized by Hoshino Shuichi's shadow clones using electromagnetic release.

He arrived at the shadow clones' location, and Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind him. He then transformed the Truth-Seeking Balls into black rods and plunged them into Madara Uchiha's Limbo: Border Jail shadows, completely pinning them down and preventing Madara Uchiha from retrieving them.

Although Hoshino Shuichi watched Madara Uchiha be resurrected and become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, he was also gradually weakening him.

boom!

The complete Susanoo landed beside Hoshinoichi. Obito Uchiha dispelled the Susanoo, looked at Madara Uchiha on the Gedo Mazo, and asked, "What's next?"

Hoshita Hideichi laughed and said, "Of course, we'll beat up Uchiha Madara!"

"Obito, don't you want to?"

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha's red eyes shone even brighter: "Of course!" (End of Chapter)
