I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 505 and 506: Forgive me, this is the last time.

"Ugh...uh..."

With his throat locked, Uchiha Senmon could barely speak; he managed to glance outside with difficulty.

Miss Jeanne was on her last breath, but thankfully she hadn't died...

"Once the Death Gate of the Eight Gates is opened, death is certain, even for a sage like Hashirama. However, the power of the Divine Tree kept her alive."

Noticing the gaze of the Uchiha Sage Gate, Six Paths Madara personally spoke to clarify for him:

"However, there is no need to be happy. Your fate is already sealed. You are to use your lives to nourish the divine tree and cultivate the divine tree fruit that controls the power of life and death."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha rode the clouds and mist, picked up Senmon Uchiha and Jeanne, and flew south.

The Uchiha Sage Sect is now on the verge of death, powerless to resist, and can only be manipulated by others.

The collision between the expanding Truth-Seeking Ball and the Transformed Buddha on the top almost cut Honshu Island in half. Konoha Village, located deep inland, narrowly escaped a sinkhole filled with seawater, but it will become a coastal village in the future.

Not far away, there was the stump of the severed sacred tree, its roots, like twisted dragons, gripping the earth tightly.

Madara Rokudo descended with the two of them.

With a thud, Uchiha Senmon fell to the ground like a tattered sack. He struggled to his feet, his body covered in wounds, and looked up.

On a tree root that had broken through the ground, four cocoons entwined with vines hung.

"It's Inaba, and the other five Kage who are also under the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

A flash of red light appeared in his right eye, and Uchiha Senmon murmured.

The next moment, his feet seemed to sprout elbows and armpits, and several tree roots burst out of the ground.

Now, even standing up was unsteady, so Uchiha Senmon was naturally powerless to dodge and was bound by the tree roots.

"Power... is being lost!"

Uchiha Senmon's face grew increasingly pale as the Wood Release technique, which had been fused with the power of the Divine Tree, was being continuously drained from his body.

"The power of the divine tree within you has finally been returned to its rightful owner."

Six Paths Madara strode up to the Uchiha Sage's Gate, a smirk playing on his lips:

"The Divine Tree is very greedy. It will take away your original Wood Release, Sage Mode, and even the extraordinary bloodline of the Uchiha clan with interest."

The unity of Yin and Yang yields the myriad phenomena of the universe. This is not merely creation; the divine tree from another planet unites all things in heaven and earth, harvesting the extraordinary beings on Earth, which is also a manifestation of the myriad phenomena of the universe.

Uchiha Senmon narrowed his eyes and let out a muffled groan.

Becoming extraordinary is like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, undergoing a complete transformation. Being stripped of one's power and reduced to mortal is like being thrown from the clouds into the mundane world, a experience that is naturally not pleasant.

"Immortal Sect, your sacrifices will not be in vain. Look how magnificently the flowers of the Divine Tree bloom!"

Drawing upon the power of the Divine Tree from Uchiha Senmon, Inaba, and Joanna, the felled Divine Tree sprouted new branches from its original stump, rising to a thousand meters in just a few breaths, with a unique purple flower blooming at its top.

Within the flower's heart, it seems as if a miniature star is hidden, shimmering with light and almost rivaling the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon in the sky.

"That's the fruit of the Divine Tree..." Uchiha Senmon's gaze sharpened.

"Do you have any last words?"

Six Paths Madara said to Uchiha Senmon:

"Since you've let me have such a good time, I'll listen to what you have to say."

Was it just about having fun?

Uchiha Senmon looked at Six Paths Madara with a complex mix of emotions.

Madara Uchiha, at his peak, had only five Truth-Seeking Balls left after activating Infinite Tsukuyomi. He used only half of his power to defeat the desperate gamble of the entire Uchiha clan.

However, Madara himself was not unscathed; only one Truth-Seeking Ball remained on the back of his head.

Madara Uchiha's current power is only one-tenth of his peak strength!

Uchiha Senmon's eyes flashed, and he asked in return:

"I have no last words, but would you like to hear Lady Izanami's last words?"

"Hashirama's last words...?"

Liu Dao's eyebrows furrowed, his eyes momentarily darkening, before he let out a sneer:

"It's nothing more than a rigid lecture to correct my mistakes and stop repeating them."

Madara was right.

"Since you know Lady Izanami so well, why would you do such a thing?"

Uchiha Senmon said in a deep voice, "By sacrificing billions of lives to gain the power of life and death, after you bring Lady Izanami back to life, she will only feel pain!"

"You... knew I was going to resurrect Hashirama?"

After a moment of silence, Madara Rokudo simply admitted it.

"The stone tablet you left at the Naka Shrine mentions that the Uchiha clan awakens their Sharingan through suffering, and the deeper they delve into darkness, the greater their power becomes."

Uchiha Senmon gently shook his head and said:

"But that's not actually the case. The Sharingan is the eye that reflects the soul. No one understands love more deeply than the Uchiha clan, and it is precisely because of this that they awaken their eyes due to the pain of losing a loved one!"

Madara once said that he could see his own shadow in himself, but for the Uchiha Sage Clan, Madara was also a mirror.

Like Madara, she suffered the pain of losing a loved one. Putting herself in his shoes, if the Uchiha Sage could obtain the authority of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, they would also revive Mikoto immediately.

"The power and eye techniques of the Sharingan reflect the desires of the person who possesses them. This power is not just for revenge, but to make up for the regrets of the past, so that we can protect what we love in the future and never lose it again."

Recalling the brothers Itachi and Sasuke, and the Eight Thunder Gods eye technique he had acquired, Senmon Uchiha sighed:

"Madara, why is your eye technique a clone? You're too powerful; you're afraid of being alone, and no one can keep up with your shadow. Except for Lady Izanami!"

"Your understanding of the Sharingan actually surpasses that of me, the progenitor of the Uchiha clan."

Rokudo Madara couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration.

He closed his eyes, then slowly opened them. His usual aloofness, like that of a god, melted away slightly, revealing a touch of human gentleness.

"During the thousands of years I was sealed away, I hated Hashirama immensely, but as my hatred grew, so did my longing for him."

Madara Uchiha, with his magnanimity towards the dying, poured out his heart to the Uchiha Sage.

"After Hashirama died, I realized that I loved her more than I had imagined. The short time I spent with Hashirama in Konoha was the happiest time of my life."

Rokudo Madara's tone suddenly became filled with melancholy and loneliness.

"I've been pondering whether it was worth turning against Hashirama in pursuit of power. I admit I regret it, and that makes it all the more important for me to fill the void in my heart. I want to create a world where Hashirama exists!"

Uchiha Senmon pursed his lips, staring intently at Six Paths Madara and questioning him:

"So even if it means destroying the world and going against Lady Izanami's will, you still want to resurrect her?"

"If it were you, you would do the same, wouldn't you, Uchiha Senju?" Madara chuckled.

The Uchiha Immortal Sect was speechless.

If he were to choose between resurrecting his beloved and the world, he wouldn't hesitate to tip the scales in his favor.

This is the Uchiha!

Just then, the divine tree branches wrapped around Uchiha Senmon suddenly tightened and climbed onto his face.

The power of the Divine Tree and Wood Release has been completely extracted.

In the sky, the halo shining from the flower buds of the divine tree became even more dazzling.

"The fruits of the Divine Tree will be ripe soon!"

A look of wild joy flashed across Madara's face. Then, Six Paths Madara gave the Uchiha Immortal Sect a deep look before turning to leave.

"I had a very pleasant chat with you. I'll probably never forget you. Goodbye, Immortal Sect."

"It's not over yet!"

Staring at Madara Uchiha's retreating figure, Senmon Uchiha's right eye suddenly spun with its three tomoe, condensing into a kaleidoscope with three cherry blossom petals.

"Eight Thunder Gods!"

Liu Daoban suddenly felt a chill run through his body, and his scalp tingled. The next moment, beams of white spiritual light shot out from three inches above his head.

"How is this possible... my soul has been torn out of my body!?"

Even when facing Night Guy and the Top Transformed Buddha, Madara Uchiha did not feel this sense of crisis or fear.

He immediately turned around and looked at Uchiha Senmon's right eye, his expression changing drastically.

"Immortal Sect, your eye technique targets souls... it's a special attack against the dead!"

"Ha! My eye technique is called Eight Thunder Gods! It's perfectly suited to deal with you, 'Izanagi' who dares to trespass into the underworld!"

Uchiha Senmon's Mangekyou Sharingan was bloodshot, and bright red blood beads overflowed from his eye sockets.

According to the Kojiki, Izanagi went into the underworld to find his wife, Izanami, only to find that her body had decomposed and given birth to eight terrifying demons. Terrified, he turned and fled.

Under the orders of the enraged Izanami, the Eight Thunder Gods led the army of the underworld to pursue Izanagi, who narrowly escaped death.

Among the eight thunder gods, the one on the head is called Great Thunder (symbolizing the power of thunder), the one on the chest is called Fire Thunder (symbolizing lightning and sparks), the one on the abdomen is called Earth Thunder (symbolizing thunder striking the ground), the one on the back is called Young Thunder (symbolizing the clear weather after a thunderstorm), the one on the buttocks is called Black Thunder (symbolizing darkness), the one on the hand is called Roaring Thunder (symbolizing the sound of thunder), the one on the feet is called Hidden Thunder (symbolizing thunder and lightning hiding in the clouds), and the one on the groin is called Splitting Thunder (symbolizing lightning tearing the sky apart).

Thanks to the Eight Thunder Gods, a demonic eye technique, the Uchiha Sage Sect discovered the last flaw in the compatibility between Madara's soul and Naruto's body when they first saw Madara inserting a Karma seal into Naruto's body for the Reincarnation Technique. This led them to find a way to save Naruto!

As long as Madara doesn't eat the fruit of the Divine Tree and achieve a perfect resurrection, he's still a dead man, and the Eight Thunder God Eye Technique is his nemesis.

Lord Taishan once extracted Obito Uchiha's soul, and now the Uchiha Sage Sect wants to replicate this miracle.

In the previous battles, the Uchiha Senmon had never used Susanoo; he was betting all his ocular power on this moment!

Strands of pure white spiritual light, like steam rising from a kettle spout, flowed uncontrollably away from Rokudo Madara's body.

"Have you been waiting for this moment, Immortal Sect!"

As his soul was forcibly pulled out of his body by the Eight Thunder Gods, Madara Rokudo's expression changed drastically, filled with shock and rage.

He raised his hand, intending to unleash the last Truth-Seeking Ball behind him, annihilating the Uchiha Sage Clan.

However, Rokudo Ban was like a clay puppet at this moment, unable to move.

"Hehe, ahahahahaha!"

After the initial panic subsided, Madara Rokudo revealed a crazed, cold laugh:

"At my peak, your eye technique can't possibly work on me. Even if you manage to catch me off guard, I'll still be the one to win!"

Uchiha Senmon's heart sank.

Even though the Eight Thunder Gods can suppress the spirits of the underworld, the gap between him and Madara is too great. Only if Madara is weakened to the limit will there be a chance of victory.

"Interesting. Try pulling my soul out if you dare!"

As Madara Uchiha regained his composure and focused all his efforts on resisting the Uchiha Sage's eye technique, the speed at which the Eight Thunder Gods were pulling at his soul was greatly reduced, and they were even dragged back into his body.

A tug-of-war has broken out between the Uchiha Sage Mode and Madara Uchiha, and the fragile balance could be broken by any external force.

"Your Sharingan isn't the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan anymore; it's almost blinding you, isn't it? How much longer can you hold on, Immortal Sect!"

Looking at the blood gushing from Uchiha Senmon's right eye, Madara Uchiha smiled coldly.

Indeed, Uchiha Senmon's right eye was in excruciating pain, blood splattered across half his face, and he could only vaguely make out a figure amidst the crimson blur.

Just then, from each of the five cocoons entwined by the divine tree, a golden light flashed, lined up, and crashed into Rokudo Madara's heart before disappearing.

A golden halo suddenly emanated from the surface of Liudaoban's body.

"This kid's soul, like a candle flickering in the wind, has actually ignited!"

Six-Paths Spotted Lost His Voice:

"Those little girls actually harbor this kid's soul!"

"You're too strong, Madara! That's why you never look down at your feet; your strength is your downfall!"

The Uchiha Immortal Gate roared in anger.

The secret known only to the Five Kage is that within the Heavenly Curse Seals bestowed upon them by Akira, each Kage contains a fragment of their soul.

After learning about this, the Uchiha Sage Sect had been preparing this backup plan.

Now, the plan is to inject it into A-Ming's body as the final straw that breaks the camel's back, allowing A-Ming to regain control of his body.

"It doesn't matter if you go blind! Get back to the underworld, Izanagi!"

Unleashing all the remaining power of his eyes in one go, Uchiha Senmon roared hoarsely.

The red light of the kaleidoscope in the right eye reached its peak, like a supernova exploding and releasing its last rays of light and heat, before fading away forever.

boom!

A loud bang, like glass shattering, echoed in his mind. Uchiha Senmon's head lolled to the side, and he fainted, his fate unknown.

After an unknown amount of time, the dazed Uchiha Senmon regained some consciousness, only to find himself surrounded by darkness.

"Smack."

Suddenly, footsteps came from in front of the Uchiha Senmon.

"Are you Madara, or Akatsuki?"

With his face covered in blood, Uchiha Senmon raised his head and asked softly.

He is now a completely ordinary person, having not only lost his Sharingan, but also had all his extraordinary powers absorbed by the Divine Tree.

They were even worse off than ordinary people, because Uchiha Senmon had already gone blind and could not see anything.

Just then, Uchiha Senmon felt a slightly cool touch on his forehead.

"Is it a finger?"

With two fingers pressed against Uchiha Senmon's brow, he performed the Midas touch, and in the next moment, his dark and lightless world was restored to light!

A familiar figure came into view of Uchiha Senmon.

Forgive me, this is the last time.

Uchiha Mei sighed and muttered to himself.

The lies we tell the world can finally come to an end.
