An aged face, gray hair, a thin body...
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have looked no different from dead.
A sound broke the silence of the cave, and a half-black, half-white figure appeared, dragging a corpse with half of its body smashed to pieces.
The old man opened his eyes, and although he did nothing, an invisible aura emanated from him.
"Lord Madara, Obito has been brought to you. However..."
Without needing to say anything more, Madara had already seen Obito's miserable state.
“He still has a breath of life. Perform surgery on him to connect White Zetsu’s body to his and see if there is any hope.”
Madara hadn't expected Obito to be in such a state, but he remained calm and judged that Obito still had a breath left, so he had Zetsu keep an eye on Zetsu's body.
Two days later.
"Rin...Kakashi..."
In the dim light, Obito watched the two figures recede into the distance and called out, but no matter how he shouted, his voice couldn't carry. Just as Obito resigned himself to his fate and awaited death, a sharp pain shot through him—pain in his left eye, pain in the right half of his body, and… a feeling of fullness!
Oh right, I got hit by a boulder. The right side of my body must be crushed, it hurts so much. But what's with this feeling of fullness...?
After a long time, Obito felt the presence of his body again, and he... seemed to be able to control it.
With great difficulty, Obito opened his eyes and looked at the dim cave ceiling, his heart filled with extreme doubt.
He didn't die.
At the same time, it's not in Konoha.
"Oh, Lord Madara, the boy is awake."
Zetsu was also surprised to see Obito struggle and then open his eyes.
"Kid, you've lost half your body, and you're still alive? You're really lucky."
Zetsu approached Obito, poking around with his fingers as if he were studying something.
Upon hearing Zetsu's quirky voice, Obito also noticed the two people around him.
One, well, an old man, and another, half-black and half-white thing that I couldn't tell what it was.
Did that voice just come from the mouth of this black-and-white person?
The ninja world is truly amazing; there are actually people like this.
It has to be said that Obito's optimism is still at play, as he still has the mind to think about these things at a time like this.
"You saved me?"
Despite not having spoken for a long time, Obito felt incredibly amazed that his throat was perfectly fine.
No, it's not about whether I can speak or not. Half of my body was smashed, including my neck, so speaking was difficult at the time...
As Obito regained consciousness, the pain in his body gradually subsided.
It seemed that the pain from his previous injuries still lingered deep within his soul, causing him to endure that torment. But upon waking, that feeling dissipated, replaced by a sense of fulfillment, a feeling... that his body was filled with power.
Lying on the operating table, Obito couldn't see his own body, but he seemed to be in good condition.
"Tsk tsk, having transplanted half of White Zetsu's body, your recovery ability has also improved. You'll be fully recovered soon. Kid, you should be able to stand up by now."
Obito was already very happy that he hadn't died. Upon hearing that he could stand up, he immediately tried to get up.
Seeing the pure white skin on the right side that was clearly mismatched with the left side, Obito was stunned for a moment.
"This is......"
"Half of your body was smashed. If it weren't for the transplant, you would have died long ago. But you're really lucky to have survived a whole half-body transplant. Not everyone can adapt to the White Zetsu's body."
"you are?"
At this moment, Obito seemed to have become immune to Zetsu's words and focused his attention on the old man sitting on the stone chair.
The old man's aura surged forth, a domineering aura suddenly descended, his eyes turned blood red, and three tomoe slowly rotated within them.
"I am Uchiha Madara!"
Having died once, Obito thought he was now able to remain calm and collected, but he was still shocked when he heard the old man's name.
"You say you're Uchiha Madara? How is that possible? Wasn't Uchiha Madara dead?"
"Boy, Lord Madara has been living a perfectly good life. Hmph, don't judge things by appearances. Like you now, you're living a good life too, but to the outside world, you're a hero of Konoha, someone who has already sacrificed himself." Knowing that Lord Madara was in poor health, Zetsu, being considerate of the Holy Heart, explained on Madara's behalf.
"this......"
"It's just faking my death to escape; it's not uncommon. Escaping the sight of those fools is the only way to avoid being disturbed and to focus on my business!"
As Zetsu recounted the events, Obito gained a general understanding of what had happened.
Simply put, Madara Uchiha faked his death and hid here until today. His purpose was to carry out his so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.
Obito had no interest in Infinite Tsukuyomi. All he wanted was to go back and continue being Obito, instead of hiding in the shadows like a mouse.
However, after being persuaded by Madara and Zetsu, Obito at least gave up the idea of going back now.
Inside the cave, he received training from Madara Uchiha.
Obito knew about Madara Uchiha's legend, and no matter what, he wouldn't give up the opportunity to be trained by him.
How can you refuse something that's free?
Obito, who had received training from Hikaru, knew how effective the training of these strong individuals was.
Moreover, judging from Ban's trembling appearance, he didn't receive the same punishments as Hui when training with him.
How could we miss such a great opportunity?
First, improve our strength, then seize the opportunity to return.
Anyway, according to Zetsu, Rin and Kakashi are both fine, so he's not in a hurry anymore.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
With the Kannabi Bridge destroyed, the battle between fire and earth seems to have taken a new turn. Meanwhile, on another battlefield, Konoha launched a preemptive strike, taking advantage of Kirigakure's vulnerability to severely damage them. Hideki even killed more than half of Kirigakure's elite Jonin, causing unimaginable losses to Kirigakure.
On the same day, two major battlefields experienced successive changes, and Konoha's disadvantage was instantly alleviated.
The course of the war began to become unpredictable.
For the past two weeks, the entire ninja world has been in an eerie calm.
The so-called peace was not the absence of conflict; the fighting continued. Whether it was between Konoha and Iwagakure or between Konoha and Kirigakure, the battles never ceased. Ninjas from both sides constantly engaged in combat, suffering losses on both sides. However, neither side's Kage-level fighters made a move, seemingly waiting for a moment to erupt.
So much has happened in just half a month.
Of course, all of this was exceptionally peaceful in the other two places, truly peaceful.
There was not a ripple.
Inside the cave beneath the Kannabi Bridge, Obito silently underwent half a month of training from Madara Uchiha, resulting in a significant improvement in his physical abilities and his control over ninjutsu and the Sharingan.
At the same time, Madara Uchiha seemed to have made up his mind about something.
Kiyoshima Island.
After another period of training, Yahiko finally mastered the Ki Slash, allowing him to travel the ninja world as a member of the Sage Organization.
However, everything still needs to be reported from the soil and stone.
Chapter 324 Analysis of Maintaining the Rationality of the Plot
Yahiko obtained a certain amount of Hero's Water from Uchiha Kiyoshi and set off from Kiyoshi Island to the Land of Earth to find soil and stone.
Yahiko didn't know what the Hero's Water was, but from Uchiha Kiyoshi's description, he could easily understand that it was something that helped him cultivate Sage Mode.
Sage techniques are no longer unfamiliar to Yahiko.
When Uchiha Kiyoshi was teaching his disciple Hyuga Ten, he often went over to... cough, often to learn from him.
When it came to teaching his disciples, Uchiha Kiyoshi naturally held nothing back, showing no concern whatsoever that teaching his disciples would lead to his starvation. He taught them Sage Mode and various theories without any reservations.
Of course, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't explain the specific content; he simply handed over his notes to Hyuga Ten and told him to study them on his own.
Uchiha Kiyoshi merely provided an overview of the basic definitions and connections.
Even so, these things were extremely precious to Yahiko.
Uchiha Kiyoshi summarized all the knowledge of ninjas, explained it from its essence, and connected everything. Even Yahiko, who had already trained to the Kage level, felt that he had gained a lot after listening to him. His understanding of ninjutsu and his use of chakra improved a lot.
The Land of Earth.
"Senior Earth and Stone".
Yahiko successfully found Tsuchishi and explained the purpose of his trip, then waited for Tsuchishi's reply.
"Your strength is such that those who are openly recognized in the ninja world pose virtually no threat to you. However, it's still not foolproof. Now that you're out, focus on running the academy well. Also, use your rest time to practice Sage Mode."
"Academy?"
“Yes, the cultivation system needs to be spread, and the new generation of disciples should naturally be trained from a young age. You have the foundation to manage the Akatsuki organization, so it is appropriate to entrust this matter to you.”
Upon hearing his mission, Yahiko was speechless. He never imagined that after joining the Sage Organization, he would have to relive his experiences with the Akatsuki Organization.
"The establishment of the academy is still in the planning stage. To be precise, you are currently still in a state of freedom. In addition to cultivating immortal techniques, the organization will not interfere with your travels in the ninja world."
Even Tu Shi seemed a little embarrassed when it came to the planning stage.
To be honest, setting up an academy and selecting the next generation to cultivate the Golden Core system was something that Yahiko had only just thought of after he came out and didn't know what task to assign to him.
However, after careful consideration, Tu Shi felt that this was still very necessary.
Cultivating immortality is bound to become widespread.
The cultivation system does indeed have its own advantages.
Lifespan—that's the greatest temptation.
No one can resist this temptation.
The most formidable competitors are actually a group of ninjas who are already quite powerful.
They all practiced sealing techniques to some extent, and very few were like Yahiko who knew nothing about sealing techniques.
Therefore, if the cultivation system really spreads, they will be the group of people who switch systems the fastest. However, this would actually be detrimental to Uchiha Kiyoshi's peace plan.
