Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 129 Uchiha Madara

"Aaaaaah... Guy, Kakashi, Rin! How did you guys come back to life?! What happened?!"

"And this guy... who exactly is this guy?"

Obito Uchiha pointed at Rin Nohara with a confused expression, then at Kakashi, and finally glanced at Might Guy, who was giving him a thumbs-up. He was completely dumbfounded.

"Ahem... well... how should I explain this to you?"

Kakashi looked up at the sky and scratched his chin. As for Nohara Rin and Guy, they both looked completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on with Obito.

In the eyes of Nohara Rin and Guy, Obito, who was exactly the same as before, suddenly revealed his three-tomoe Sharingan after Kakashi and a strange Konoha ninja arrived, and became very excited.

The four people present had completely different experiences in manipulating the five senses illusion. Obito, needless to say, suffered terribly, his mentality was completely broken, and he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

The illusion that Nohara Rin and Guy were under was the same as the one they had been under when they were in the cave, except that Obito complained a little less.

As for Kakashi, before he came in, Uchiha Tou had told him that he wanted to help Obito awaken a higher level of Sharingan. Knowing how to awaken the Sharingan, the slightly cunning Kakashi naturally agreed without hesitation.

So, aside from the fact that Obito was temporarily misled by Tou Uchiha's genjutsu when he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, leading Kakashi to believe that Obito had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, Kakashi was always clear about everything else.

That's why, looking at Obito's somewhat distorted face, Kakashi didn't know what to say. First, the joke that could evolve Obito's Sharingan was obviously a bit too much. Second, there was the matter of Uchiha Hiu's identity, which couldn't be said openly.

However, Kakashi soon had nothing to worry about. Uchiha Tou chuckled lightly and said calmly:

"I was just doing you a favor by using some genjutsu to awaken your three-tomoe Sharingan. No need to thank me!"

"Damn it, who needs to thank you?! Seriously, who are you anyway? Even though you're wearing a Konoha headband, I've never actually seen you before. Are you some kind of spy?"

Obito shouted, glaring at Uchiha Tou, but Tou merely shrugged in response to Obito's murderous gaze.

"Kid, don't act all innocent after getting the benefit. Being able to awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan directly using genjutsu is something countless members of the Uchiha clan would kill for!"

"Having the power to prevent tragedy directly is far better than waiting until tragedy strikes before our eyes truly awaken!"

"Oh, this..."

Obito was speechless for a moment. Then, Uchiha Touyu gently raised his hand, and water-attribute chakra condensed into a large amount of water vapor, which transformed into a water mirror and appeared in front of Obito.

Obito glanced at himself in the mirror; the three tomoe were clearly visible, making him chuckle involuntarily.

"Three-tomoe Sharingan... This is the highest level of Sharingan (Obito didn't know about the Mangekyou Sharingan yet). With this level of Sharingan, I can directly possess the strength of a Jonin!"

"Hehehe... Kakashi, I'll catch up with you soon!"

Kakashi simply rolled his eyes at Obito's words, while Uchiha Touyu curled his lips slightly, glanced at the indifferent Kakashi, and revealed an expression of watching a good show.

Uchiha Touya knew very well that Obito had awakened not just the three tomoe, but the Mangekyou Sharingan. Although he eventually extracted the Mangekyou Sharingan, the modifications the Bloodline Limit made to his body did not stop.

Even if 80% of the Uchiha's strength lies in their Sharingan, it doesn't mean that the changes to their bodies brought about by the awakening and evolution of their bloodline limit are small. At least in terms of chakra quantity, physical strength, and the quality of Yin Release chakra, an Uchiha who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan is definitely much stronger than a Uchiha with three tomoe.

In other words, even though Obito Uchiha lost his Mangekyou Sharingan, the evolution of his bloodline brought about by his bloodline limit was enough to push his basic qualities to a level close to Kage level.

In this situation, if Kakashi were to be careless, he might actually get a lesson from Obito!

Despite harboring this wicked sense of humor, Uchiha Tou didn't linger there, since he already had Obito's two eyes.

With the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, Uchiha Touya could completely absorb the ninjutsu and ocular power in Obito's eyes, and at that time he would also possess the powerful space-time ability Kamui.

However, to fully absorb the power of the Kamui Sharingan, one cannot use the Devouring Heaven Demon Art technique crudely. Instead, one must spend some time absorbing it slowly with the help of the Uchiha bloodline, which is of the same origin, in order to ensure the full effectiveness of Kamui.

Uchiha Touya, who had been eagerly waiting, briefly greeted Kakashi and left, leaving Kakashi somewhat annoyed.

"What exactly is this guy here for? Could it be to help Obito awaken his three-tomoe Sharingan? When did their relationship become so good?"

"And... how am I supposed to explain this to my teammates?"

Seeing Nohara Rin's face full of curiosity, doubt, and even wariness, Guy, Obito, and Kakashi were immediately troubled.

After leaving the cave where Kakashi and the others were, Uchiha Touyu found a place far from the battlefield and used Earth Release to build a house. He rested and absorbed the Kamui Sharingan inside while waiting for news of the White Zetsu's successor.

Seven or eight days passed, and Uchiha Touya finally completely drained the power of the Kamui Sharingan, gaining an ability called Kamui.

In addition, there was another unexpected gain: after absorbing the power of the Kamui Sharingan, Uchiha Tou's original three-tomoe Sharingan could also be transformed into the Kamui Sharingan.

As for the benefits of turning into Kamui Sharingan... basically, it's meaningless except for being able to impersonate the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Susanoo, Tsukuyomi, and Kamui—these three Mangekyou Sharingan ninjutsu can be used by Uchiha Tobi in both his Kamui and Sharingan forms, without any change in power. It's just like having a colored contact lens applied.

However, very quickly... Uchiha Touyu thought of the use of the Sharingan's transformations—it could be used to deceive Uchiha Madara and White Zetsu!

The idea of ​​opening a Susanoo with three tomoe, especially a Susanoo with legs and armor in its complete form, is a bit too much. Even Madara Uchiha would probably have some reservations about it. But if it were the Mangekyou Sharingan, there would definitely be no problem.

More than half a month passed, and just when Uchiha Touyu was starting to doubt whether Uchiha Madara had given up on meeting him, he finally sensed a familiar, faint soul fluctuation that night.

"This feeling... it's White Zetsu, there's no mistake!"

Strange soul fluctuations lingered in the shallow underground layers, soon reaching Uchiha Tou's feet. Then, a monster with green hair and a white head emerged from the ground.

"This should be it... Wait, where's that Madara-sama's clansman?"

Bai Jue, who had appeared in the room, glanced around with a somewhat puzzled expression. Just then, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder and was so surprised he almost jumped up:

"Waaaaah!! Who is it? Who's filming me?!"

"That's what I should be asking you. Who are you? Or what kind of monster are you? Why are you in my room?"

The invisibility jutsu that concealed his body gradually disappeared, revealing Uchiha Tou's figure. At the spot where his palm struck, a strange pattern faintly appeared on White Zetsu's shoulder before disappearing again.

"Oh, so you're from Madara's Uchiha clan!"

Bai Jue turned his head and smiled. Just then, his eyes rolled back and his body began to tremble violently.

"What's going on?"

Uchiha Touyu was slightly taken aback. He hadn't done anything to Bai Zetsu; at most, he had just left a mark on Bai Zetsu's shoulder using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Why did Bai Zetsu suddenly fall ill?

As Bai Jue's body trembled, his body gradually began to undergo strange changes, transforming him directly into an old man with white hair and wrinkled skin.

"This is... an elephant-like clone?"

Uchiha Touyu was slightly surprised. The Shadow Clone Technique, a ninjutsu that briefly appeared in the Naruto arc when they were chasing Gaara, was arguably the strongest clone technique in terms of usability alone.

This clone technique is very similar to Nagato Uzumaki's Six Paths Clone Technique. First, it requires a sacrifice, and then the user's chakra is transferred to it. In the original work, the clone only has three layers of chakra, but theoretically, as long as the sacrifice is strong enough, the clone can even have all of the original user's chakra.

The sacrifice subjected to the Transformation Technique is 100% identical in appearance to the original. The Transformation Technique can even mimic the original's weapons and ninja tools. Of course, the ninjutsu performed through the sacrifice is also exactly the same as the original, even including special abilities such as bloodline limits.

In other words... the clones created by the Transformation Technique, at their strongest state, can even unleash power exactly the same as the original owner!

"Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan should have been installed in Nagato's eyes long ago. However, just like how this guy can still activate Susanoo even without his eyes, theoretically, with Madara Uchiha's talent, even without the Rinnegan, he could probably still use some relatively simple and common Rinnegan ninjutsu."

Just as Nagato, who lost both legs, created six clones to act in his place, Madara Uchiha, now old and near death, can also rely on his clones to appear in his place.

After all, Madara Uchiha hasn't "created" Black Zetsu yet, and while White Zetsu has all sorts of abilities, it doesn't have a brain!

In this situation, he is also trapped by his aging body and the demonic statue of the heretic, and cannot act at will. It is quite normal for him to rely on the transformation of his clone.

"Hello, you Uchiha brat! I've been waiting for an Uchiha ninja like you for a very long time!"

The aging Madara Uchiha raised his head, revealing a sharp yet somewhat arrogant gaze, and spoke calmly.

"The same Sharingan? I've never seen anyone like you in the Uchiha clan. I wonder which graveyard you dug up, you old relic?"

"An old relic? That's not entirely wrong with calling me that. You can call me—Uchiha Madara!"

Although the person who spoke had a wrinkled face, white hair, a shriveled and hunched body, and almost no teeth left in his mouth.

Even as he announced his name, a glint of light still shone in the eyes of this former ancestor of the Uchiha clan, and an aura as powerful as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood surged forth, revealing a trace of the domineering presence of this former Asura of the ninja world.

"Tsk... The Asura of the Shinobi World back then! I heard you were killed by Hashirama Senju? Could it be that the First Hokage showed mercy to his friend?"

Uchiha Touyu, still playing the role of someone completely ignorant, asked Uchiha Madara a question, to which Madara responded with a cold laugh:

"Hashirama's strength is indeed formidable, but he's only on par with me. If I hadn't wanted the power of the Sage Body, he wouldn't have been able to defeat me!"

"After I faked my death and escaped using the Sharingan's secret technique, Hashirama Senju ultimately succumbed to his injuries. The one who ultimately won was naturally me, not that Hashirama guy!"

When he said this, Madara Uchiha's expression was slightly stiff, after all... he was also a little guilty!

Although he felt that he would eventually surpass Hashirama Senju, after all, he had awakened the Rinnegan!

However, he was actually a little hesitant to say that he had defeated Hashirama Senju. After all, Hashirama had only beaten him up from beginning to end. In the end, he even swallowed his pride and directly controlled Kurama, fighting two against one—and then he and Kurama got beaten up together.

Uchiha Touyu twitched his lips. This guy... he was clearly forced to use the forbidden technique Izanagi by Senju Hashirama, yet he still had the nerve to say that he was the victor. I wonder what Senju Hashirama's Edo Tensei body would think after hearing his words.

"Fine, I don't want to hear any more of that old-fashioned nonsense. It doesn't matter who wins or loses between you and Hashirama Senju. I just want to know one thing—why did you come to find me?"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha finally came to his senses. His mind, which had been somewhat stiff due to recalling the past and being forced to "win," began to work again.

"Uchiha brat... it seems you haven't used the Mangekyou Sharingan very often since awakening it, but even so, you should have sensed it, right?"

"My eyesight is deteriorating; the more I use the Mangekyou Sharingan, the closer I get to that dark end!"
