Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 176 Taking Action! (Bonus Chapter!)

"The power of the dragon vein has finally returned to its peak..."

On the floor, Xingxia Xiu was surrounded by electric sparks, but his mind was focused on the sealed space in his abdomen.

A full month has passed since I transmigrated here.

The power of the dragon vein was previously consumed by about 70%, and it is only now that it is gradually recovering.

"I haven't figured out a convenient way to restore the dragon vein's chakra yet; I can only rely on the dragon vein's instincts."

Xingxia Xiu thought to himself, "It seems I must cultivate the dragon vein's intelligence and consciousness as soon as possible."

"However, the dragon vein's consciousness is too chaotic, and my current method of guiding it with the Heavenly Dream Walker technique is not very effective."

"perhaps……"

Xingxia Xiu suddenly came up with a method.

With his current strength, there is no way for him to create tailed beasts like the Six Paths Sage did.

If one possesses such strength, the power of the dragon vein becomes dispensable.

So, perhaps we could try sealing off a portion of the dragon vein's chaotic consciousness first, leaving only a little bit, and then nurturing it.

"No, or rather, it's not so much sealing away chaotic consciousness, but rather sealing away memories."

Xingxia Xiu increasingly felt that she could give it a try.

Separating and sealing consciousness is somewhat difficult, but he has cultivated the Soul Imprisonment Technique and is well aware of the complexity of the soul.

But if it's just about memorization, then it's not too difficult.

Even Konoha should have a directly usable sealing technique.

I remember Minato Namikaze used it when he sealed the dragon vein.

Since there is the power of the dragon vein, there is no reason why there should be no such sealing technique.

Even if not, he can still team up with Kushina Uzumaki, Tsunade, and Minato Namikaze to develop Konoha.

Just then, Xingxia Xiu suddenly looked up, and the electric light on his body instantly dissipated.

"It's finally here!"

Xingxia Xiu's figure disappeared from the room.

Outside the Temple of Fire.

Hearing the beast-like roar, feeling the powerful chakra, and seeing the Nine-Tails' enormous size, Xingxia Xiu was drooling.

Having such a mount is certainly cool.

And it must be said that Kurama and Uchiha are quite a good match.

Suddenly, Xingxia Xiu noticed that Nine-Tails' eyes had changed color.

Madara Uchiha controlled the Nine-Tails!

Immediately afterward, Xingxia Xiu saw that there was another person on top of Nine-Tails' head.

Madara Uchiha!

Xingxia Xiu immediately burrowed underground and followed.

Meanwhile, Madara Uchiha rode the Nine-Tails all the way towards Konoha.

Sensing this, Hoshino frowned slightly: "They're attacking Konoha directly... Wasn't it said they'd wait several years before fighting Hashirama Senju?"

……

On the Hokage Rock, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju appeared, both looking north.

"It's the Nine-Tails..."

Hashirama Senju sighed.

Tobirama Senju's face darkened: "So they really are after the village! And they've even taken control of the Nine-Tails."

Hashirama Senju said, "Tobirama, you take the men and protect the village. Leave Madara to me!"

With that, he leaped away.

When it reappeared, it had a huge scroll on its back.

Meanwhile, under Tobirama Senju's orders, the entire Hidden Leaf Village had become bustling with activity.

A large number of ninjas were mobilized, and a significant portion of them were deployed to lie in ambush outside the Uchiha clan's territory.

The Uchiha clan was also ordered not to leave their clan territory.

……

Hashirama Senju sped north after leaving Konoha, intercepting Madara Uchiha, who was riding the Nine-Tails.

"Ban, this village is also your life's work. Are you going to destroy all the fruits of our labor?"

Standing atop the tree, Hashirama Senju shouted.

Above the Nine-Tails' head, Madara Uchiha, fan in one hand and scythe in the other, coldly declared, "No, Hashirama, that's your dreamland, not mine!"

"And that was a wrong result."

"Now I'm going to correct the error!"

Hashirama Senju's expression darkened: "We're brothers, Madara, I don't want to kill you!"

Madara Uchiha's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Kill me?"

"You should know that I'm not the same as before!"

Hashirama Senju glanced at the Nine-Tails and his gaze darkened. Madara Uchiha plus the Nine-Tails was indeed a troublesome situation.

"Hashirama, it's been a long time since we've fought. Let me see what you'll use to protect your village!"

Madara Uchiha was already impatient and too lazy to argue with Hashirama Senju anymore. He leaped down from the top of the Nine-Tails' head and charged towards Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju immediately summoned his giant sword to fight.

On a high cliff not far away, Xingxia Xiu's head popped out from the ground, looking at the two people below who were competing in physical and sword skills, with a strange expression.

This is not quite what he remembers.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

A comic book artist, what does he know about Naruto?

The latest novel is first published here!

Looking at the Nine-Tails who hadn't made a move, even Hoshino was tempted to try and take advantage of the situation.

"Never mind, some things are still undecided, let's leave it for now."

Xingxia Xiu watched silently.

In a pure physical combat and swordsmanship battle, Hashirama Senju was clearly at a disadvantage.

After retreating, Hashirama Senju immediately plunged his greatsword into the ground and then formed hand seals.

In an instant, thick vines shot out from the ground and swept towards Uchiha Madara.

The real battle has begun!

Madara Uchiha retreated, landing on top of Kurama's head. With a roar, a gust of wind swept through, shattering vines and trees.

Hashirama Senju wielded a sword in one hand and used a hand seal in the other to control the vines, simultaneously fighting against Madara Uchiha and the Nine-Tails.

However, this level of Wood Release is clearly insufficient to withstand the Nine-Tails and Madara Uchiha.

Hashirama Senju then unrolled the scroll and took out a large number of ninja tools.

The next moment, Hashirama Senju used vines as his hands to manipulate ninja tools, making even Madara Uchiha, who had the Mangekyou Sharingan and a fan, have to be careful.

In the second round, Madara Uchiha returned empty-handed, and his eyes immediately blazed with intense red light.

The Nine-Tailed Fox behind raised its head and its chakra quickly condensed.

Hashirama Senju's gaze darkened. He planted his greatsword in the vines, formed hand seals, and the vines immediately enveloped him, forming a sphere.

The Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball rolled in, striking the spherical defense formed by Wood Release, but instead of shattering it, it moved upwards.

Immediately afterwards, the Wood Release sphere expanded and contracted, forcefully sending the Tailed Beast Ball flying out and slamming it into the cliff, creating a huge gap in the cliff.

Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!

Hashirama Senju unleashed a series of powerful attacks, but Wood Golem used a Tailed Beast Ball to retaliate.

Immediately afterwards, Madara Uchiha also dressed Kurama in Susanoo armor.

The fusion of Susanoo and Kurama is so powerful that even the Wood Golem Technique cannot withstand it.

Hashirama Senju retreated, heading north, moving further and further away from the Land of Fire.

Xingxia Xiu also emerged from underground: "It's time for me to make my move!"

It also took to the air, flying high above the ground, directly over the running Nine-Tails, watching as the Tailed Beast Ball and Susanoo Sword combined, transforming into an attack like the Wind Release: Rasengan.

The five Rashomon gates shattered instantly, and a terrifying attack swept across the bay, striking the land on the other side, causing the earth to shake violently!

Madara Uchiha, who was about to continue the pursuit, suddenly looked up and saw a huge windmill descending from the sky.

Wind Release: Rasengan!

The Susanoo sword reformed, and Madara Uchiha raised his hand and waved the Wind Release: Rasengan.

"Um?"

Looking at Hoshino Shigehisa, who was standing in the air wearing a mask, Madara Uchiha frowned.

On the other hand, Hashirama Senju was in the same situation.

Xingxia Xiu descended from the sky and said, "First Hokage, I come from the future, and I am also a ninja of Konoha. To be more precise, I am the husband of your granddaughter Tsunade!"

Hashirama Senju was taken aback: "Tsuna?"

Xingxia Xiu clasped his hands together: "First Hokage, you should be able to sense the power belonging to you within me, right?"

"That was an experiment conducted by the village after you died, where your cells were transplanted into my body."

Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

Huge wooden dragons surged out from the ground and headed straight for Uchiha Madara.
