Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 385 Madara Uchiha: How can the Eye of the Moon Plan be carried out successfully with a bunch of insects like you?!

Completely bewildered, Bane watched as Madara Uchiha's soul leaped out of the Pure Land. He paused for a moment, then realized what was happening.

It's highly likely that it was because he destroyed Amegakure and sealed Nagato and the Rinnegan in the sky, causing the Eye of the Moon plan to fail. Obito and Black Zetsu had no choice but to call on Madara to clean up the mess.

Without giving it much thought, Bane quickly pulled himself back to his senses. However, this incident also caused Bane to stop absorbing the power of the Pure Land's soul.

He took out Death's finger and began to use it as a medium to search for Death's location in the Pure Land.

Guided by the power of the soul, Bane quickly took the finger in his hand and walked towards the boundless desert of the Pure Land.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Madara Uchiha successfully underwent the Impure World Reincarnation and awoke from a mountain cave in the Land of Rain.

Upon opening his eyes, Madara Uchiha raised his hand to examine his body, then frowned and said, "Impure World Reincarnation?"

This was completely different from what he had expected. He then looked at the two people standing in front of him, Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito.

"Why is it the Impure World Reincarnation technique? Did something go wrong with Rinnegan? Where is my Rinnegan?" Madara Uchiha asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, both Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu were somewhat embarrassed and didn't know how to explain themselves for a moment.

In the end, Black Zetsu successfully played the role of 'servant' and respectfully said, "Lord Madara, the Eye of the Moon Project has run into trouble. The situation is roughly as follows: about a thousand years ago, a mysterious being awakened and became active in the present world. He seems to be the founder of Ryuchi Cave, one of the three holy lands, and is known as the 'Spirit Lord'. And then..."

Madara Uchiha still possessed the composure of a strongman. Although the matter of reviving himself using the Rinne Rebirth Technique had been botched and the Eye of the Moon Plan seemed to be in trouble, he still sat on the stone stool with great interest, listening to Black Zetsu recount these events.

However, as Black Zetsu began to narrate, Madara Uchiha's expression changed from calm to somewhat serious.

"A dark blue haori and a straw hat?" Uchiha Madara was taken aback upon hearing this description, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"That's right." Obito Uchiha nodded, then immediately asked, "It seems you've heard of him?"

"I've seen him." Madara Uchiha's expression darkened. "The moment my soul was awakened and left the Pure Land, I saw the Spirit Lord you speak of, clad in a dark blue haori, absorbing the pure soul power within the Pure Land in a terrifying manner."

At this point, Madara Uchiha frowned and said, "Perhaps he really is a god? But judging from that bastard Tobirama Senju's research on the Pure Land, it probably isn't."

After pondering for a while, Madara Uchiha still couldn't find a clue, so he asked, "So, according to what you just said, that Spirit Lord wasn't intentionally trying to oppose us? Rather, he was summoned by Konoha ninjas, which led to this situation? He hadn't shown any interest in you before?"

"That's right." Black Zetsu immediately said, "It's because Jiraiya of Konoha summoned him in Amegakure that everything has turned out this way. Before, there was no conflict between him and us, but there was a conflict in direction, which was that he was also collecting the Tailed Beasts."

"Tsk," Madara Uchiha clicked his tongue slightly, a hint of displeasure in his voice. "Tailed beasts...that's a bit troublesome."

His Eye of the Moon plan has two main focuses: the Rinnegan and the Tailed Beasts.

Now that the Rinnegan is in the sky, the Tailed Beasts even have competitors, and very powerful ones at that, which makes Madara Uchiha feel very uneasy.

After a moment of contemplation, Madara Uchiha stood up, walked out of the valley, and looked up at the sky. It was nighttime, and two moons hung in the sky, making Madara feel somewhat dazed. He asked, "Which one is the so-called illusory moon?"

"The one on the left," said Obito Uchiha.

"It's a bit troublesome, but it's worth a try," Uchiha said after observing for a moment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the kaleidoscope in his eyes began to change, transforming into the Rinnegan. In no time, a pair of Rinnegan resurrected through Edo Tensei appeared in his eye sockets.

As the Rinnegan appeared, Madara Uchiha raised his hands, interlaced his fingers, and clasped them in front of his chest. Then, his chakra suddenly erupted, and he shouted, "Heavenly Obstruction Star!!!"

The Heavenly Meteor is a powerful force that Madara Uchiha can unleash when using the Rinnegan.

It is powerful enough to move meteorites in space, pull them down and sweep up the battlefield. It is very similar to Yixiao's ability, but its power seems to be even stronger.

At this moment, Madara Uchiha used the Heavenly Obstruction Star to try to pull down the illusory moon in the sky. Once he could do this, it would be much easier to take out the Rinnegan sealed inside.

At the same time, this was also a test for him against that Spirit Lord. He didn't need to fight directly; he could indirectly assess whether there was any difference between the two by observing the techniques they used.

Black Zetsu watched this scene with some surprise. He wished Madara Uchiha could just pull the moon down.

The invisible power of the Rinnegan instantly swept across the sky, but no one in the ninja world noticed this change. Then, Madara Uchiha's massive chakra began to pull the illusory moon in the sky, and his expression became increasingly solemn as he tried to use the power of the Heavenly Meteor to pull the illusory moon down from the sky.

But when they tried to pull it, they found that the illusory moon was unusually heavy.

Meanwhile, in the Pure Land, Bane, who was searching for Death, suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and clicked his tongue, saying, "They're really arrogant enough. They've just been resurrected, and they're already trying to steal my toys?"

To reiterate, although Bane played with the Void Moon for a while after raising it, and then stopped paying much attention to it, simply hanging it in the sky as an ornament, in reality, Bane never lost control of the Void Moon.

Even though he was in the Pure Land at this moment, Madara Uchiha's forceful attempt to pry open the Void Moon still made Bane aware of the change in the situation.

Within the Pure Land, Bane raised a finger, pointed forward, and whispered, "Black Annihilation - Lunar Eclipse."

The dark elemental power released by the soul body dissipated into the Pure Land almost in the blink of an eye.

But at the same moment, the illusory moon in the sky also changed. Originally, it shone with bright moonlight in the sky, very beautiful, like a jade plate.

However, after Bane activated the dark power within the illusory moon, dense dark elements began to emerge continuously from it, staining the bright jade disc black and causing terrifying changes.

The seas of the ninja world began to be drawn by this powerful attraction, resulting in irregular tidal changes and the rapid formation of tsunamis. At the same time, the gravity on the earth's surface suddenly became unstable and chaotic. The natural gravity of this planet and the dark gravity emitted by the illusory moon interfered with each other, causing natural disasters such as landslides and earthquakes.

Madara Uchiha naturally sensed this dramatic change, and even his Rinnegan couldn't hide his surprise.

He had thought it was just an enhanced version of something like Earth Explosion Star. Black Jue had previously said that the Spirit Lord called this technique "Immortal Technique: Earth Explosion Star Technique".

Unexpectedly, this illusory moon seemed to contain a terrifying dark gravitational force, something that the Earth-Exploding Star could never achieve.

As the continuous rain in the Land of Rain began to hang upside down, flying from the ground into the sky, the gravity and gravitational forces on the ground became disordered, and terrifying earthquakes and great rifts appeared in the valleys. It was a scene of the end of the world. Madara Uchiha instantly understood that this technique was a forbidden technique of the world-destroying level that could destroy the world!

"How is this possible?" Madara Uchiha thought in shock and anger.

The next second, he sensed a change: the Heavenly Obstacle Star Power unleashed by the Rinnegan was forcibly devoured and absorbed by the gradually blackening illusory moon!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

It was at this moment that his Heavenly Obstruction Star Technique completely failed, and that power was forcibly torn off. Blood from the backlash of power spilled from the corner of Madara Uchiha's mouth, but fortunately, he was an Impure World Reincarnation and was not seriously injured.

After Madara Uchiha's Heavenly Obstacle Star power dissipated, the dark power on the illusory moon gradually calmed down and dissipated, slowly returning to its original bright appearance.

When this dark power dissipated, the chaotic gravity and gravitational fields of the ninja world returned to calm, and the roaring sea also began to quiet down.

In Konoha, Tsunade, who was organizing a evacuation, sensed the change in the environment and immediately looked up at the sky, only to find that the illusory moon, which had been stained black, seemed to have returned to its original appearance.

"Has it stopped?" Tsunade swallowed hard, muttering to herself, "What on earth happened?"

In the past, when she read those myths about gods destroying the world when they were angered, she found it all very strange and unbelievable.

In those few short minutes, she finally felt the terrifying power of a god. If that illusory moon had continued to unleash that indescribable dark power, the ninja world might have been doomed.

For a moment, Tsunade even regretted handing over the Spirit Lord's scroll to Jiraiya.

If Jiraiya hadn't been given the power, he wouldn't have summoned the Spirit Lord in Amegakure. Without summoning the Spirit Lord, the Spirit Lord wouldn't have been inspired by the Rinnegan's "Planetary Devastation" and instantly developed "Sage Art: Planetary Devastation Technique." Without this technique, there wouldn't be this illusory moon in the sky. Without this illusory moon, the ninja world wouldn't have faced this situation where it could be inexplicably destroyed!

"If the world is destroyed because of this illusory moon in the future, then I will be the culprit?" Tsunade murmured to herself with self-doubt.

Within the Pure Land, Bane was unaware that his small action had nearly destroyed the entire ninja world. Sensing Madara Uchiha's power dissipate, he smirked arrogantly, saying, "A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert. Ah, you're from Madara's sect? Never mind then."

Without paying much attention to Madara Uchiha, Bane quickly shifted his focus back to searching for the Shinigami.

Meanwhile, in the valley of the Land of Rain, Madara Uchiha's expression was extremely grim. He had thought that he and Hasi Hot Mom were already at the pinnacle of the world, the two strongest beings.

It turns out that he has no way to deal with the Spirit Lord's technique.

If the Heavenly Obstruction Star were forcibly activated, it would indeed be possible to pull the illusory moon down from the sky. However, judging from the backlash just now, it would directly lead to the destruction of the world and the ninja world turning to ashes.

Why did he pull this illusory moon down? It was to retrieve the Rinnegan, thereby further pushing the Eye of the Moon Project back on track, ultimately to achieve the so-called 'peace in the ninja world,' not to destroy the world.

At least in Madara Uchiha's view, he was on the side of peace.

If pulling down the moon leads to the destruction of the world, it would completely contradict his pursuit, turning his single-mindedness into a dilemma.

If we don't pull down the Void Moon, we can't get the Rinnegan back, and the Moon Eye Project can't continue. If we pull down the Void Moon, we'll all be doomed, and we won't need the Moon Eye anymore.

That's it, isn't it?

Damn it, Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu are such terrible teammates! I've only been dead for a few years, and the perfectly good Eye of the Moon plan has turned into this mess!

"Damn it, how can the Eye of the Moon Plan be completed with a bunch of insects like you?!" Madara Uchiha cursed inwardly.

But Madara Uchiha was a man of strong will, and he quickly calmed down his worthless emotions, looking at Black Zetsu and saying, "Where is Ryuchi Cave? It seems I have to pay a visit to this Spirit Lord myself!"

However, after saying that, Madara Uchiha paused for a moment. Huh? This Spirit Lord seems to be in the Pure Land right now?

Then I've wasted my time in this world! Is it too late to die and go back now?!
