Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 377 Can't you guys just let me watch a family drama?! (Third update)

Infinite Tsukuyomi is too inhumane.

Once you're caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, you can't even blink.

Uehara Naraku hid in the vines he had created, rubbing his dry eyes. Because he had been born with the Rinnegan, he was able to continue his performance in the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Fortunately, his Rinnegan is also purple.

It seems there are no flaws at this point.

In the entire ninja world, apart from Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and those reanimated ninjas, only Kabuto Yakushi and Nagato, who had hidden in the Kamui dimension, escaped unscathed.

After Madara Uchiha finished unleashing Infinite Tsukuyomi and Advent of the Tree World, he only noticed Sasuke Uchiha's Complete Susanoo, and there was some disbelief in his eyes.

"The light of Infinite Tsukuyomi can penetrate shadows; no one should be able to escape it. How come it still hasn't been able to penetrate his Susanoo?"

"Um…"

Black Zetsu also witnessed this scene, and its voice was hoarse as it spoke: "Only the possessor of the Rinnegan can resist the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi..."

After a long while.

After Madara Uchiha confirmed that the light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi could not defeat Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, he finally decided to take matters into his own hands and deal with them.

The next moment, the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi suddenly disappeared.

The blood moon reappeared in the sky, and night fell upon the earth once more. Uchiha Madara then flew down to earth!

Madara Uchiha planted one foot on the ground, staring at the towering Susanoo, and shouted, "Sasuke, let me see what kind of power you're hiding!"

"snort…"

A muffled groan came from the air, and the tall purple Susanoo dissipated, revealing two figures inside.

It was Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

The two people are in a completely different state than before.

Sasuke Uchiha had one Sharingan in his eye socket and the other a strangely long Rinnegan with tomoe. This sight made Madara Uchiha's eyes narrow slightly. There was another person in this ninja world who had also awakened the Rinnegan!

As for Naruto Uzumaki standing next to him, he was also radiating powerful chakra, with Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him, clearly indicating that he had mastered the Six Paths Sage Technique.

Madara Uchiha opened his palms and chuckled, saying, "I didn't expect it to be you two who dodged the Infinite Tsukuyomi. I thought it would be Uehara Naraku! It seems you two little ones were hiding your true abilities even better than Uehara!"

"Hmph, that idiot..."

Sasuke Uchiha scoffed dismissively, then suddenly raised his finger and whispered, "I saw him fall under the Infinite Tsukuyomi with my own eyes, Madara Uchiha. I should thank you for getting rid of that trouble for me!"

The next moment, a light flashed in Sasuke Uchiha's Rinnegan, and he suddenly gripped a ninja sword in his hand, lunging towards Madara Uchiha!

"I'll take care of you right now!"

"Hey, Sasuke, don't be impulsive!"

Naruto Uzumaki hurriedly tried to stop his teammates, but unfortunately Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't listen to his advice and swung his ninja sword at Madara Uchiha!

"Hahaha...what a confident little brat!"

After Madara Uchiha chuckled, four illusory shadows suddenly appeared on his body and surrounded Sasuke Uchiha.

"Be careful!"

Naruto Uzumaki sensed the shadow of Limbo and shouted a warning to Sasuke before rushing forward with him!

"No need to remind me, I saw it!"

Sasuke Uchiha's Rinnegan flashed with a glint of light, and he suddenly spotted the shadow of Limbo. He brandished his ninja sword, ready to deal with the shadow of Limbo before him!

What no one expected was that Madara Uchiha's figure suddenly swapped with his own Limbo shadow, snatched Sasuke's ninja sword, and kicked Sasuke away!

"I thought you were really that strong!"

Madara Uchiha smiled contemptuously and flung the ninja sword at Sasuke. If it hit, it would pin Sasuke to the ground instantly!

To Madara's surprise, a light flashed in Sasuke's Rinnegan the next moment, and Madara's body and Sasuke's body suddenly switched places!

The ninja sword that Madara Uchiha had thrown towards Sasuke's body suddenly pierced through his own body!

It was Sasuke's Rinnegan ability, Amenotejikara!

"Oh, a spacetime spell?"

After a moment of surprise, Madara Uchiha slowly pulled the ninja sword from his body, and his injuries healed rapidly.

Madara Uchiha turned his head, looked at Sasuke who was clutching his chest, and calmly opened his palm: "It seems your Rinnegan also has considerable collectible value..."

"Sage Art: Lava Release: Rasengan!"

The next moment, a sharp shout rang out, and a Rasengan made of Lava Release chakra flew towards Uchiha Madara!

Madara Uchiha was hit head-on by this attack before he could even dodge!

The fiery red spiral shuriken exploded the moment it hit him, unleashing a wave of sage-grade heat that scorched Madara's body!

"Is that all?"

Madara Uchiha reached out and wiped the wound from the corner of his mouth.

Even though he was momentarily careless and Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki gained the upper hand, Madara Uchiha didn't care at all, and was even a little happy.

To be honest, I'm actually quite happy.

After all, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki's strength is still within the realm of understanding, unlike Naraku Uehara, who is completely beyond the realm of understanding.

The next moment, Madara Uchiha charged forward again!

Madara Uchiha held a Yin-Yang Release black rod in his hand and fiercely fought against two people. With the addition of Limbo's shadow, he was not at a disadvantage in terms of taijutsu!

A strange Rasengan suddenly appeared in Naruto's hand!

"Celestial Arts..."

"Sage Art: Storm Release: Light Fang!"

Just as Naruto's Rasengan was taking shape, a bolt of laser suddenly shot out from Madara's mouth, forcing Naruto to dodge hastily and carelessly throw the Rasengan away!

"Idiot, don't waste your chakra!"

After Sasuke Uchiha cursed in a deep voice, a ball of black and white lightning suddenly appeared on his own palm!

"Chidori!"

This is Chidori empowered by the power of the Six Paths!

Taking advantage of Madara Uchiha's release of Sage Mode, Sasuke Uchiha suddenly swapped positions with the black rod in Madara's hand. The next moment, countless black and white lightning bolts struck Madara Uchiha!

Sasuke Uchiha snorted coldly, staring at Madara Uchiha, who was in pain beneath Chidori: "Hmph, I also possess the power of the Six Paths."

"interesting…"

Madara Uchiha's body suddenly vanished!

Sasuke Uchiha stared intently at the location of Chidori's attack, a glint of light flashing in his Rinnegan eyes: "Hmm? He used his own shadow clone? No, Madara has four Limbo shadows!"

"Naruto, watch out!"

Sasuke suddenly turned his head and looked in Naruto's direction!

However, he had barely sent out the warning when he saw Naruto Uzumaki being sent flying by the Limbo shadow!

"Do you still have the energy to worry about others?"

Madara Uchiha's contemptuous laughter appeared beside Sasuke.

The next moment, Sasuke was kicked in the neck by Madara Uchiha, and he was sent flying!

Madara Uchiha stared at the disheveled Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, and couldn't help but burst into loud, maniacal laughter: "Hahahaha... I thought you two were hiding your power, and might even be stronger than Uehara!"

Madara Uchiha was unaware that the two had encountered the old man selling cheat codes; he simply assumed that this genius ninja's mindset was similar to that of Uehara Naraku.

Madara Uchiha looked down at Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha as they slowly rose to their feet. A smirk played on his lips as he said dismissively, "Now you see... they're nothing special!"

Madara Uchiha looked at the two of them and said with a cold sneer, "You two are trying to hide your power like Uehara Naraku, do you think you're as strong as him?"

"..."

Madara Uchiha's arrogant voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

Hidden in a hollow tree shrouded in vines, Uehara Naraku listened to Uchiha Madara's praise of him and yawned listlessly.

Is Madara Uchiha addicted to bullying weaker opponents?

Why hasn't Black Zetsu played yet?

Just then, Black Zetsu's voice finally rang out: "Lord Madara, perhaps I know the source of their power... Doesn't Lord Madara find Sasuke Uchiha's chakra somewhat familiar?"

"indeed."

Madara Uchiha slowly nodded, gazing at Sasuke Uchiha, and calmly said, "This little guy does indeed have some kind of connection with me..."

"That's right."

The next moment, Black Zetsu's hand pierced through Madara Uchiha's heart, its voice chuckling sinisterly, "Perhaps it's because Indra was reincarnated into your body in his previous life, and because he loved his younger brother Izuna Uchiha too much, this time he not only became the younger of the Uchiha brothers, but also looks exactly like Izuna..."

This is actually quite true.

Perhaps it was because Indra's chakra was influenced by Madara Uchiha's emotions that when he was reincarnated, he grew up to look like Izuna Uchiha and became a younger brother with an older brother.

"Black Zetsu..."

Madara Uchiha stared in disbelief at the gaping hole in his chest. His eyes darted around, and he tried desperately to resist, but he was completely unable to move.

Madara Uchiha, feeling the pain in his chest, questioned, "Black Zetsu, why did you betray me?"

"Because there are no more threats in this world!"

Black Zetsu's laughter sounded somewhat relieved, and he continued in a hoarse voice, "Uehara Naraku chose to enter the Infinite Tsukuyomi for a laughable woman; these two guys in front of you are nothing more than reincarnations of the chakra of those two little brats, Indra and Ashura..."

As Black Zetsu spoke, its laughter softened, and it calmly said, "Madara, so you have no reason to exist anymore... You wanted to trap this world in an illusion, do you really think you're in reality?"

Black Zetsu's laughter grew increasingly arrogant: "Madara, you're in the illusion too! You and that Uehara Naraku have actually deceived many people in the ninja world... but I've only deceived the two of you, and that's enough!"

"You are the will I created..."

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Black Zetsu, I am your master!"

"You're wrong, Madara!"

Black Zetsu calmly shook its head, its voice suddenly rising: "I have never been your will. The true will I represent has always been Kaguya!"

Black Zetsu's body gradually turned into a liquid, enveloping Madara Uchiha's body!

The Divine Tree also began to draw chakra from those hanging on its branches!

The earth cracked open in an instant!

Clusters of chakra, gathered by the Divine Tree and appearing almost tangible, soared high into the air and were transferred into Madara Uchiha's body, much to the astonishment of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha!

next moment

Madara Uchiha's body gradually swelled up!

Just as Madara Uchiha was feeling the pain in his body and despair was gradually showing in his eyes, his Rinnegan suddenly noticed a strange mummy vine!

Because that vine wasn't channeling chakra into the Divine Tree!

Madara Uchiha looked at the strange vine, which seemed to sway slightly, and it seemed that someone inside was still moving. What the hell was that mummy?!

Despite the life-or-death crisis at hand, Madara Uchiha inexplicably spoke up, "Uehara, were you involved in deceiving me?"

"..."

Upon hearing this name, everyone present involuntarily changed their expressions, following Madara Uchiha's gaze to the vines on the trunk of a certain divine tree on the battlefield.

Because that vine was so special!

While the branches of the other divine trees were transmitting chakra, that vine remained completely still, and the mummy beneath it was even swaying gently...

There must be someone alive inside.

Naruto's gaze shifted. He noticed the four resurrected Hokage still standing there in the distance, seemingly lost in thought. He suddenly spoke up, "Wait, if Uehara is caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, won't Father and the Hokage lose control?"

"..."

Everyone's expression involuntarily changed.

If Uehara Naraku were under the Infinite Tsukuyomi, at least the Hokage he controlled should have lost control, instead of still standing there dumbfounded.

Uehara Naraku's voice drifted out softly. He could only helplessly pull away the vines, leaping down from above, and sighed, "Why should I get involved in your family affairs? I just want to watch a proper family drama!"
