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

Chapter 131 The Mastermind Who Almost Was Wiped Out

"Tsk tsk tsk... Senior Uchiha Madara, your performance was truly shameful. You couldn't even handle that much?"

With a hint of sarcasm, looking at his disheveled opponent, Uchiha Tobi spoke lightly.

The aging Madara Uchiha stood up shakily. Faced with the uncivilized brat before him, the old man finally understood what it meant for a fallen phoenix to be worse than a chicken.

"Kid... if I were 20 years younger, you'd be dead by now!"

"Hehe, senior, stop with the harsh words. I've only ever heard of 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential,' but I've never heard of 'Don't underestimate an old man's potential.' I'm still a young man with boundless potential. In 20 years, I might be able to suppress you, the Asura of the Ninja World, with just one hand..."

"But if you live another 20 years... then all I can say is, 'Respect the dead!'"

"Pfft..."

Madara Uchiha coughed up blood in anger, and it took him a long time to suppress his rage before he looked at Touya Uchiha and coldly spoke:

"Kid, it seems you don't want to make a deal with me! Wait until you truly feel your kaleidoscope's power completely disappear and your eyes gradually go blind, then you'll know what despair is!"

"Sorry, there are very few people in this world who can force me to use the kaleidoscope. As long as I don't use the kaleidoscope, I won't go blind."

Uchiha Touyu chuckled lightly, then looked at Uchiha Madara with a sarcastic expression:

"Besides... it's just Hashirama cells, right? Senior, you don't think you're the only one in the world who can research this kind of thing, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tou clasped his hands together again, and an incredibly large amount of active chakra gushed out from his body.

"Wait... this chakra... this life-giving chakra... could it be Wood Release?"

Madara Uchiha's expression changed drastically, however, Tobi Uchiha spoke with a light laugh:

"That's right, it is indeed Wood Release, and not just ordinary Wood Release..."

"I think, senior, since you are Hashirama Senju's nemesis, you must have a deep impression of this move—Wood Release: Top Transformed Buddha—True Several Thousand Hands!!"

The earth began to tremble once more, and countless branches stretched out from the ground, intertwining and expanding to form one bulge after another.

At the same time, a head shaped like a mountain slowly grew out of the ground, and the bulge on the ground was just the hair on that head.

As the tremors grew stronger, the entire mountain was shrouded in shadow before Madara Uchiha. A colossal Buddha statue slowly emerged from the earth. In just a minute or two, the incredibly large Buddha statue, thousands of meters tall, appeared before him.

"Impossible... How could this be?... Hashirama cells could never do such a thing!"

Madara Uchiha was completely dumbfounded. Was this the effect of Hashirama cells? Don't be ridiculous. Even if you replaced all the cells in your body with Hashirama cells, you could never develop Wood Release to this extent!

Only Hashirama Senju himself ever truly unleashed the True Several Thousand Hands! No matter how others obtained the power of Wood Release, they could only unleash a degraded version of Wood Release.

Could this kid actually be the offspring of the Senju and Uchiha clans...?

Faced with this incredible change, even Madara Uchiha's mind went astray, and he even started thinking about the possibility of the Senju and Uchiha clans combining.

But before the old man could think any further, Uchiha Touya, standing atop the giant Buddha statue in the sky, waved his hand:

"It's over, Ban... Old Deng, time to dump the gold!"

In that instant, each of the giant thousand-armed Buddha statue's hands formed the Treasure Vase Mudra. The chakra flowing within the Buddha statue formed an exquisite phantom of the Great Dao Treasure Vase in the sky, drawing it downwards.

Yes, Uchiha Hiyu created the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue solely to empower the Great Dao Treasure Bottle of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, thereby absorbing everything inside Uchiha Madara's body.

With Uchiha Touyu's Devouring Heaven Demon Art, even Uchiha Madara at his peak could completely drain him; it would just take a little time.

The only thing that could be absorbed by Uchiha Touyu was the Indra chakra hidden deep within Madara Uchiha's soul. Even Touyu himself couldn't guarantee that he could absorb it with the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. This wasn't a flaw in the Devouring Heaven Demon Art technique; it was simply that Touyu himself hadn't mastered it properly.

That's why he needed to rely on the Buddha statue of the True Tree Thousand Hands to bless the Great Dao Treasure Bottle. By using this clever method, he forcibly pushed the Great Dao Treasure Bottle to a higher level, hoping to completely drain Uchiha Madara.

The aging Madara Uchiha had no power to resist and was directly sucked into the Great Dao Bottle. At the same time, the White Zetsu scattered around and the giant Gedo Mazo were also twisted and absorbed by the power of the Great Dao Bottle.

"Huh! So Black Zetsu was hiding in Madara Uchiha's shadow all along?"

Uchiha Touyu looked down with some surprise. He saw a dark shadow twisting and trembling below, which was the place where Uchiha Madara's shadow had originally been.

However, even a special life form like Black Absolute couldn't resist the suction power of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle. In the end, to save its life, it separated a part of its body, most of which was sucked into the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, with only a wisp of black smoke disappearing underground.

Uchiha Touya's hands moved rapidly, forming countless hand seals. The giant Buddha below, thousands of meters tall, also waved its countless arms, forming thousands of different hand seals. The treasure bottle in the sky flashed with a burst of light, and finally, it materialized into a real treasure bottle.

"Yin Release creates matter... Fortunately, this technique exists, which can completely seal Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu, and the Gedo Mazo inside the bottle, allowing them to slowly refine and absorb it over time."

"Hmm... Uchiha Madara, this guy didn't use Izanagi? Is it because he's too old? No... it's probably because he knows very well that he has no chance of escaping!"

Only then did Uchiha Touyu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Defeating Uchiha Madara would be easy. Not to mention that Uchiha Madara has lost his Rinnegan and is extremely old now, even in his prime, as long as he hadn't awakened the Rinnegan and become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, Uchiha Touyu was confident he could win.

However, for Fei Yu, the most important thing was not to defeat Uchiha Madara, but to completely absorb his essence.

This requires Uchiha Touyu not only to capture Uchiha Madara alive, but also to completely seal him away. Otherwise, given Uchiha Touyu's current level of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, it would be very difficult for him to obtain Indra's chakra.

As for the small number of Black Zetsu who escaped, Uchiha Tou didn't care much. Without Uchiha Madara, it wouldn't be easy for those dark creatures to stir up trouble in the ninja world.

……

After capturing Madara Uchiha and the Gedo Mazo, Touya Uchiha didn't want to waste any more time. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique all the way and returned to Sunagakure in less than a day.

After that, Uchiha Touyu went into seclusion, holding the treasure bottle he had created, and slowly absorbing the essence inside.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was still ongoing, but it was no longer of much concern to the Sand Shinobi who had withdrawn from the war. Without any disturbance, Uchiha Touya spent two whole years absorbing all the essence from the treasure bottle.

Aside from Madara Uchiha, the most important thing is actually the Gedo Mazo. Although the chakra inside the Gedo Mazo has been drained, its essence has not changed at all. It is still the divine tree that can drain the energy of a planet and transform all things into chakra.

Madara Uchiha's origin allowed Tomo Uchiha to directly awaken the Rinnegan, while the origin of the Gedo Mazo granted him the supernatural ability to absorb the energy of all things in heaven and earth.

That is the most essential power of the Divine Tree, and in some ways, it is the most fundamental power of all Otsutsuki clans. However, although the Otsutsuki clan can rely on the Divine Tree for herding, they themselves do not possess this terrifying ability.

Otherwise, the Otsutsuki wouldn't have needed to search for planets with the Divine Tree, nor would they have needed to plant the Divine Tree and wait for it to bear chakra fruits; they could have absorbed all the planet's energy themselves.

"Unfortunately... Black Zetsu, this Otsutsuki, is too incomplete, so I can't have the same Otsutsuki physique... Right now, I'm probably like Indra, who is a reversion to the Otsutsuki ancestor, and at the same time, I also have the characteristics of the Divine Tree."

This level of power is certainly quite abnormal, but it's still far from invincible. At least in terms of pure energy, Uchiha Touya hasn't reached the level of the Six Paths.

After all, he only absorbed the Gedo Mazo. Although his essence and potential increased significantly, his chakra did not increase much. If he were to absorb all the tailed beasts later, he would be close to becoming Touyu Otsutsuki.

As for now... it's not a big deal. Spending another ten years or so, just the large doses of medicine he released are enough to gather enough chakra for him.

Ultimately, after consuming the Gedo Mazo, Uchiha Tou's essence had already reached the Six Paths level; all he lacked was a replenishment of chakra.

Even if you do nothing, you can replenish your own power by absorbing natural energy over a hundred years.

He slowly walked out of the room. Although it was said to be a period of seclusion, Uchiha Touyu obviously did not find a remote mountain forest to hide in and cultivate without sleep or rest.

On the contrary, he lived in the most luxurious house in Sunagakure, and he did not spend his days in hardship, but rather combined work and rest, with dedicated servants to take care of his food, clothing, and lodging.

Two years have passed, and the Land of Wind, which has been undergoing Wood Release modifications, has now undergone earth-shattering changes.

Although the climate and environment of the Land of Wind have not yet reached the level of the Land of Fire, most of the original desert has been transformed into savanna, and the area of ​​the former oasis has expanded more than tenfold. The overall environment is no less than that of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

With changes in the national environment and ample funding, Sunagakure has recovered most of its strength in just a few years after the war.

Even in terms of high-level combat power, it may be even stronger than at the beginning of the Fourth Shinobi World War. The current Sand Village already has three Kage-level ninjas: Pakura, Karura, and Natsumi Hoshi, as well as the perfect Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Kana. As for the elite Jonin-level ninjas, there are nearly 40 of them.

Among them, the vast majority of elite Jonin are women, and they are all the vessels for Uchiha Tou. As his strength improves, the bonus he provides to the woman during dual cultivation also increases.

Among the more than 40 elite Jonin, there are fewer than ten male ninjas. Although men still dominate at the lower levels, when the Sand Village holds a high-level meeting, it is found that all those sitting in the main seats are women.

The male ninjas of Sunagakure could only sigh in frustration, since the "enhanced ninjutsu" developed by the Kazekage was only effective against women.

Privately, some Sand Village ninjas were even discussing whether, if things continued like this, the Sand Village should be renamed the Women's Ninja Village.

After leaving his residence, Uchiha Hiyu took a stroll around, admired the scenery, and then headed towards the Kazekage Building.

Pushing open the door to the Kazekage's office, Yekura, who was processing various documents, was slightly startled upon hearing the door open. She quickly looked up and saw Uchiha Touyu smiling at the door.

"Flying Feather!"

Yekura excitedly rushed over, squeezing herself into Uchiha Tou's arms and giving him a sweet kiss.

Uchiha Touyu chuckled lightly, patted Yekura's fleshy back twice with one hand, and began to knead it.

Ye Cang's face flushed slightly, she let out a soft moan, and her whole body went limp.

"No...don't do this...there are still people here..."

The Fifth Kazekage, nestled in Uchiha Touyu's arms, breathed heavily as he spoke. However, Uchiha Touyu merely chuckled and increased the pressure in his arms:

"You knew someone just came up and kissed me? You started this fire yourself!"

"Waaah... I... I couldn't help it~, Feiyu, you haven't come to see me these past few days..."

"Hehe, so here I am now, aren't I? I'll give you a good feast, you little glutton!"

"Wait...not here...someone's watching..."

"Don't worry, those unrelated people have already fallen under my illusion spell and can't see anything at all... Don't you think that's more exciting?"

Yekura, who was already slumped in Uchiha Hiu's arms, felt as if her body was on fire after hearing these words.

Holding the bewildered Yekura in his arms, Uchiha Touyu placed her directly on the Kazekage's desk. Then, he snapped his fingers, and the two men in the Kazekage's office walked out with dazed expressions.

Besides the two men, there were four young female ninjas left in the Kazekage's office. When they saw Uchiha Touyu put Yekura on the desk, these female ninjas not only did not stop him at all, but also walked over with their faces flushed. First, they helped Uchiha Touyu take off his clothes, and then they came over with smiles.
