The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 69 I'll be waiting for you at the Valley of the End in Konoha

Uchiha Takeoshi, who had already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, discovered the mark left by Nara Shikamaru on the road and immediately teleported towards the location of the three clan leaders, Ino-Shika-Cho, at a speed of two kilometers per instant.

In an instant, they arrived at the battlefield, where the cliffs had collapsed and the ground was riddled with deep craters.

Uchiha Muan did not immediately reveal himself, concealing his presence behind a cliff.

The battlefield is currently wide open, making it impossible to ambush Madara Uchiha using the Flying Thunder God Technique. Furthermore, using the [Heavenly Constant Supreme] technique to suddenly appear in front of Madara Uchiha would easily expose the information that he knows other space-time ninjutsu.

Facing weaklings is nothing, but against a formidable enemy like Madara Uchiha, even the slightest intelligence advantage is crucial.

Even though the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were in grave danger, he didn't want to give up the opportunity to use the Flying Thunder God Technique as a prelude to secretly use the [Heavenly Constant Supreme] technique to kill them in one blow!

More importantly, he didn't want to use his katana to cut Susanoo, only to become a laughingstock.

(Let's wait for an opportunity; if we can't wait, then we'll use the Flying Thunder God Technique to save them.)

In Uchiha Muan's mind, Uchiha Madara had already revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan and unleashed Susanoo: Second Stage - Blue Half-Giant.

His Susanoo, with its four arms and four swords, under Madara Uchiha's control, cleaved the earth and split cliffs, bringing the Ino-Shika-Cho trio to the brink of death.

In the end, Akimichi Chowa took the family's secret pill, which made her as large as a mountain, and she smashed into Uchiha Madara like a mountain collapsing.

Amidst the rising dust, Susanoo, now possessing a lower body, soared into the air, unleashing two powerful slashes that cleaved away Akimichi Chouha, who was barely managing to defend herself after her transformation.

Two chilling blades followed closely behind, and Akimichi Chouha was immediately sprayed with blood in the air. She was no longer able to maintain her super-sized form and was caught by the heavily wounded Nara Shikamei below.

But the impact was too great; the two rolled on the ground and finally crashed into the bottom of a cliff. Countless bones in their bodies were broken, and they didn't even have the strength to get up.

Standing atop the third stage of Susanoo, Madara Uchiha looked down at Chowa Akimichi, who had returned to her original form after the outburst, her body now drastically thinner, and she was dying and unconscious.

Looking at the overconfident Yamanaka Takeshi, who had tried to control his body with his mental power but was now lying motionless on the ground after being overwhelmed by the backlash, and the powerless Nara Shikamei, he calmly stated a fact.

"All resistance is futile before me. The strength you rely on is meaningless in my eyes."

"Now, it's time for you to get going."

The blade was raised and slashed down, sending two kunai flying out ahead of time.

Amidst the deafening roar, Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow and looked toward a flat clearing on the side of the cliff. There stood a boy wearing a Hokage's robe over a black, tight-fitting combat suit, with his long hair tied in a high ponytail. At his feet lay the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

"Flying Thunder God Technique? The current Hokage? What a discerning eye."

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, looking at a junior with the air of a senior, and said admiringly, "I never expected that after I left the Uchiha clan, such a talent as you would emerge from the family."

"But you also want to dance?"

Madara Uchiha's sudden change of tone and his cold gaze made Uchiha Mu'an feel pressured.

The two sides did not have a fundamental difference in the quality of their eye power; the huge difference was in the quantity of their eye power. He could also activate the third stage of Susanoo, and he could also grit his teeth and activate the fourth stage of Susanoo, which was clad in armor and in the form of a crow tengu.

However, in its complete form, the true power of a martial god, the Susanoo transformed into a Great Tengu, this power that stands at the pinnacle of the Kage realm is something that the current Uchiha Wu'an cannot possibly rival.

Fortunately, if you can't win, you can always use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

Madara Uchiha, understanding this point, was willing to engage in some verbal sparring with Takeo Uchiha.

Uchiha Muan, equally confident, crouched down, checking the three's condition as he replied, "Madara, there's no need for dancing. Our battle isn't for now."

Mangosteen in the mountains is basically a living dead, the other two are seriously injured, and only Shikame Nara is still conscious.

Under Nara Shikamaru's grateful gaze, Uchiha Takeoshi used the Flying Thunder God Kunai as an anchor point to teleport the three of them to Inuzuka Blade.

Then, Uchiha Takeo looked at Uchiha Madara, who was still standing in Susanoo. Madara made a stunning and domineering entrance in the original story, but ended up like a clown making his final bow. The Mangekyou Sharingan in his eye sockets slowly rotated.

"Madara, I also saw the stone tablet passed down from the Sage of Six Paths, located below the Naga Shrine of the family."

Under Madara Uchiha's suddenly sharp gaze, Takeo Uchiha said to himself, "Sharingan, Mangekyou Sharingan, Rinnegan, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan devised using the Rinnegan."

"To send everyone in the world to an absolutely beautiful world, a world of only peace and only love—this imagined Eden..."

Uchiha Takeoshi said sarcastically, "Madara, do you really think that would happen?"

Without giving Madara a chance to reply, Uchiha Takeo sneered, "If that were the case, why didn't the Sage of Six Paths do it? Wasn't he dedicated to creating a world where people understand each other? Why did he choose to leave this content for future generations to see?"

"Is it superfluous? Or is there another motive? Or is it simply impossible?"

Madara Uchiha's expression darkened, his eye power surged, and his chakra surged like the Yangtze River. The third stage of Susanoo began to undergo drastic changes.

"The combination of Yin and Yang, gathering the power of all things in the universe, gives birth to the Eye of Reincarnation. I'll tentatively believe this part is true, but I really can't agree with the rest."

The fourth stage of Susanoo is enormous, standing on the earth like a mountain, with a ring of solid blue chakra flames rising around it, as if scorching the world.

"So, Madara, were you researching in the Land of Lightning how to integrate Hashirama Senju's power into your body and evolve your own Rinnegan?"

boom!

Uchiha's Susanoo in its Crow Tengu form, with four hands and two swords, slashed continuously at the location of Uchiha Muan. The sword energy that inadvertently spilled out cut the surrounding area into countless holes.

The surrounding mountains collapsed with a deafening roar. In the billowing dust, Uchiha Madara, unable to find Uchiha Wu'an, stopped manipulating Susanoo. A trace of hesitation appeared in his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

(Uchiha Takeo is right; the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths is indeed inexplicable on this point.)

"However, the Rinnegan remains essential for creating true peace."

Madara Uchiha glanced around and, unsurprisingly, spotted the figure standing on the hilltop not far away.

Uchiha Takeo's provocative voice rang out.

"Konoha possesses the First Hokage's body and the strongest research capabilities in the entire ninja world. Their research progress on the Rinnegan will definitely be faster than yours."

"So, Madara Uchiha, I'll be waiting for you at the Valley of the End in Konoha."

"The winner takes all, the loser gets nothing."

"My great senior, the mighty Asura of the Ninja World, don't disappoint me!"

With another sword strike, a mountain peak was cleaved in two. Watching the disappearing figure, Madara Uchiha looked back towards Konoha, his eyes flashing, and made a decision—he would return to Konoha and take control of it!

Let's give that arrogant brat a good beating.

Standing on a cliff, Uchiha Takeo watched Uchiha Madara speeding towards Konoha, his eyes filled with killing intent.

He deliberately sent his research on the Rinnegan out to cause trouble.

Although the ninja world is vast, Uchiha Takeoshi was uneasy about having Madara Uchiha wandering around it.

Madara Uchiha is far too dangerous.

If he were to go berserk, Uchiha Muan wouldn't have time to stop him.

He absolutely did not want to be told that "all the misfortunes in the world are caused by the incompetence of those involved," and he did not want the same thing that happened to Obito Uchiha to happen to him or his clan.

"Therefore, the Hidden Cloud Village is yours."

Uchiha Muan looked toward the direction of Kumogakure, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

However, before that place becomes his slaughterhouse, there's a small, unsettling black guy who's been lurking nearby, spying on people, and he needs to deal with him.

"Peeping is a bad habit!"
