Naruto: Konoha Spring of the Uchiha Prodigies

"Ughh ...

He let out an unprecedented, agonizing, and incredulous scream! The "wedge" on his forehead shattered like broken porcelain, instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks! A violent and chaotic black energy surged out from it like an out-of-control torrent! His entire body trembled and twisted violently, his eyes filled with chaos and rage!

The space around him twisted and collapsed violently and unstablely! He glanced down with venomous hatred at Neji, who was falling with his eyes closed, tears of blood streaming down his face, and barely breathing; Nagato, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and completely unconscious in the Allied Forces Command Headquarters; and Hashirama Senju, who, although exhausted, still had piercing eyes and was controlling the giant wooden hand closing in.

“Damn ants, and this damned, inferior world…” Ichishi’s voice was distorted with pain and rage, “I… I’ve remembered!”

Before he could finish speaking, the chaotic and rampant black energy around him suddenly erupted! The space collapsed completely like a shattered mirror, forming a pitch-black vortex that devoured everything! Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's twisted figure was instantly sucked into it and disappeared!

Also disappearing were the two impure bodies suppressed by the Ming Shen Gate—Hozuki Gengetsu and Mu. As the caster, Ichishiki, was defeated and fled, the connection between the impure world and the reincarnation was forcibly severed.

boom!boom!

The two soulless, filthy bodies, as the spatial vortex completely closed, turned into two wisps of dust, falling softly and falling into utter silence.

Rumble...

The wooden Buddha hand summoned by Hashirama Senju closed heavily, but only struck empty air, stirring up clouds of dust.

The battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

Sunlight struggled to penetrate the pervasive smoke and dust, illuminating the completely collapsed ruins of the Kannabi Bridge, the devastated land littered with corpses, and the three figures who had almost changed the course of the battle but now paid a heavy price.

Hashirama Senju took a deep breath and looked around at the devastated battlefield. Even in his Edo Tensei state with unlimited chakra, the former God of Shinobi still showed a deep weariness and solemnity in his eyes.

The appearance of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was like a dark cloud hanging over the land that had just been baptized by blood and fire.

After the defenses at Kannabi Bridge were breached, the remaining Iwagakure troops retreated hundreds of kilometers. They finally managed to rebuild their defenses by relying on the natural barriers behind them. However, when Onoki saw the scale of the destruction caused by Neji and the others on the battlefield, he couldn't help but shake his head. In front of these people, could this so-called natural barrier really be considered a natural barrier?

Fortunately, after Konoha breached the Kannabi Bridge, it temporarily halted its advance. Before continuing, appeasing the ordinary people in the occupied territories was a crucial task.

Unlike in the Land of Lightning, where the people along the way welcomed the defeated Cloud Village army with food and drink, the people of the Land of Earth still have feelings for the Hidden Stone Village and the Land of Earth. Therefore, Konoha will have to pay a certain price to appease these people.

Meanwhile, Neji and Nagato, who suffered serious injuries in this battle, also need a period of rest and recuperation.

Uchiha Tokō, who was in Konoha, also received news that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had appeared on the battlefield. After pondering for a while, Uchiha Tokō found Tobi and asked him to take him to the cave where Uchiha Madara had once hidden.

Since Isshiki Otsutsuki is no longer going to hide, it's time to let Madara out and make a move. If the situation becomes more chaotic, Tokio Uchiha will have a chance to try to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, and thus reach a higher level.

Uchiha Touko could now sense that his strength had reached a ceiling. Through countless choices and simulations, he had pushed the Sage Mode, which was exclusive to humans, to a higher level. He had paved the way for Uchiha Asahi, the former genius of the Uchiha clan in Sage Mode, who had almost failed. However, Uchiha Touko also had to face a real problem: his bloodline did not support him to take the normal path to further progress.

Uchiha Tokō was not a reincarnation of Indra's chakra. The combined power of the Senju and Uchiha clans made the method of advancing through the power of the myriad phenomena of the world completely impossible for him. However, during the process of cultivating Sage Mode, which is exclusive to humans, Uchiha Tokō could also sense that this path had the potential for further advancement.

However, Uchiha Touko knew nothing about what beings at the level of the Sage of Six Paths were like.

Therefore, the reason why Uchiha Touko wanted to start the Eye of the Moon Project was to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, to see the level of the Sage of Six Paths, and thus find the possibility of advancing on his own.

After Tobi led Uchiha Touko to the cave where Uchiha Madara had previously hidden, a large number of White Zetsu had already gathered there. Upon seeing Uchiha Touko appear, a White Zetsu stepped forward, saluted, and shouted loudly:

"Salute to Lord Dou Guang! Loyal and faithful!"

"Loyalty! Sincerity!" The voices of the White Zetsu saluting echoed in the cave.

"Loyalty." Uchiha Touko nodded in satisfaction. These White Zetsu were the best cattle and horses. As long as Uchiha Touko was willing to play this role-playing game with them, the White Zetsu's loyalty was genuine.

"Afei, have you finished explaining everything?" After returning the greeting, Uchiha Touko looked at Afei and asked.

"Reporting to Lord Douguang, all 1500 White Zetsu present are ready. They have memorized the scenarios for their various identities and are ready to begin the 'Uchiha Madara's World' plan at any time!"

“Very well, let’s begin.” Uchiha Touko nodded and beckoned. A White Zetsu with a fanatical expression lay down on a platform in the center of the cave. The rest of the White Zetsu sank into the ground, while Tobi, who was next to him, had a layer of black substance floating on his body, disguising himself as a Black Zetsu.

Uchiha Touko arrived in front of White Zetsu, took out a piece of Uchiha Madara's flesh that had been sealed, placed it on White Zetsu, and then formed the hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Before long, the white Zetsu in front of them began to transform into the appearance of a long-haired man wearing old-fashioned chainmail.

A few minutes later, Madara Uchiha's reanimated body, lying on the platform, suddenly opened its eyes.

After opening his eyes, Madara Uchiha sat up, looked at his body, and then expressed his doubts.

"It's not the Samsara Rebirth technique, but the Impure World Reincarnation? Has something happened to Nagato?" Madara Uchiha frowned slightly, and at that moment, he also sensed an unfamiliar chakra beside him.

"Who are you?" Uchiha Touko's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's as he suddenly looked at Uchiha Touko.

"Ancestor Madara, welcome back." Uchiha Touko bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"Ancestor?" Madara Uchiha noticed the fan-shaped clan crest embroidered on Touko Uchiha's clothes. "A descendant of the Uchiha clan?"

"And...your chakra fluctuations..." After sensing Uchiha Touko's chakra fluctuations, Madara Uchiha remembered that the clansman in front of him was Uchiha Touko, who had slaughtered Kirigakure on the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War. At that time, he had actually considered having Uchiha Touko as his representative in the shinobi world. However, Uchiha Touko, who had lost both his parents at a young age and whose only caring relative had died at the beginning of the war, made Madara Uchiha feel at a loss.

Therefore, in the end, Madara Uchiha chose Obito as his pawn. But now, he has been resurrected by Edo Tensei, but Obito is no longer here. At the same time, Madara Uchiha also sensed that the fluctuations of the cursed seal he left in Obito's heart have disappeared.

请天假

I have a cold and a headache, so I can't type.

Chapter 296 Let him experience what it's like to have his life controlled.

"My will, tell me, what exactly happened in the years since I died?" Madara Uchiha looked at Tobi, who was disguised as Black Zetsu.

"Yes, Lord Madara." Tobi nodded. "After you died, Obito went to Konoha and released the Nine-Tails, but he was killed by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, at the cost of his life."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's expression changed slightly, and he cursed in a deep voice, "Useless!"

He truly never expected that the pawn he had painstakingly cultivated would be killed so easily.

"For the Eye of the Moon Project to proceed smoothly, I had no choice but to approach Lord Toko." At this moment, Tobi, disguised as Black Zetsu, stepped aside slightly, allowing Uchiha Toko to appear fully in front of Uchiha Madara. "Lord Toko is very supportive of the implementation of the Eye of the Moon Project."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha raised his eyes again to scrutinize Touko Uchiha, who smiled and looked at Madara with deep respect for his predecessor.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, then looked at Tobi, signaling him to continue.

"Then, because Obito's identity was exposed, the treacherous Shimura Danzo insisted that Obito was a suicide soldier specially trained by the Uchiha clan to overthrow Konoha. As a result, the Uchiha and Konoha completely broke apart. If it weren't for Lord Touko becoming the head of the Uchiha clan, leading the Uchiha clan to launch a coup, becoming the Fifth Hokage, and then purging the high-ranking officials of Konoha, the Uchiha clan would have been wiped out."

"Is that so?" Madara Uchiha looked at Touko Uchiha again. "You are now the Fifth Hokage?"

Whether the Uchiha clan was wiped out or not was irrelevant to Madara Uchiha. He had already lost all attachment to the clan when they left with him. But now, a member of the Uchiha clan had become Hokage, a position he himself had never achieved. This made Madara Uchiha look at Tokō Uchiha with new respect.

"I am but a junior who has barely managed to become the Fifth Hokage," Uchiha Touko said humbly. "Compared to Lord Madara's past achievements, I am still far from being the best I could ever hope to achieve."

Madara Uchiha frowned slightly as he looked at Touka Uchiha. For some reason, he didn't really like this young junior of the clan in front of him. This young junior gave him a feeling that was very similar to Tobirama Senju.

However, given the current situation, according to the will he left behind, since Uchiha Touko is also willing to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, Uchiha Madara still intends to observe first.

"Where is the Eye of the Moon Project at now?" Madara Uchiha asked.

“We already have six tailed beasts in our hands: the Two-Tails, the Three-Tails, the Five-Tails, the Six-Tails, the Seven-Tails, and the Nine-Tails. It’s only a matter of time before we get the One-Tails. The only ones we don’t have are the Four-Tails from Iwagakure and the Eight-Tails from Kumogakure,” said Uchiha Touko.

"So many?" Madara Uchiha was also taken aback when he heard this. He thought that Black Zetsu and the current Uchiha clan leader had resurrected him with Edo Tensei because the capture of the tailed beasts was not going smoothly. But he did not expect that his speed would be so fast.

“Yes,” Uchiha Touko said. “For the Eye of the Moon Plan, I, as Hokage, launched a war against the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning. The war is progressing very smoothly, and soon the tailed beasts will be captured.”

"War?" Uchiha Touko frowned slightly.

"Yes, I know that Madara, who co-founded Konoha with the First Hokage, may not like war, but for the Eye of the Moon Plan, all of this is worth it. After all, in the perfect world created by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, everyone will be resurrected and have everything they have ever dreamed of, right?" Uchiha Touko's face showed a hint of fanaticism as he excitedly said.

Uchiha nodded, his doubts lessening slightly. Once a goal was set, he forged ahead without hesitation—this was indeed how an outstanding descendant of the Uchiha clan should be.

"Then why did you resurrect me using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?" Madara Uchiha asked.

“Uh…” Uchiha Touko hesitated upon hearing this.

"Hmm?" A hint of impatience appeared on Madara Uchiha's face as he frowned and said, "Just say what you have to say. What are you dawdling about?"

"It's like this, Lord Madara. During our search for the Tailed Beasts, we encountered a guy named Otsutsuki Isshiki. That guy claimed to be a god, and he was also searching for the Tailed Beasts. We clashed with him, and unfortunately..." A hint of shame appeared on Uchiha Touko's face. "I was no match for him."

"You're no match for him?" Madara Uchiha frowned. He had observed the situation in Kirigakure during the Third Shinobi World War. He still remembered how Uchiha Toko had single-handedly overwhelmed an entire village. Madara Uchiha believed that he would never have had such strength at the same age as Toko. Yet now Toko was asking him for help because he was not strong enough.

Madara Uchiha did not doubt Tokio Uchiha's words, because given the Uchiha's personality, they would never admit their weakness unless they were truly invincible.

"Yes, he's too strong. My Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques are no match for him." In Uchiha Touko's eyes, there was three parts shame, three parts resentment, three parts helplessness, and one part expectation for Uchiha Madara.

Madara Uchiha frowned, then realized that compared to himself, this junior had no blood relatives, so his Mangekyou Sharingan could not be upgraded, thus his speed of strength improvement was stuck?

"What is your eye technique?" Madara Uchiha asked at this moment.

"My eye technique is a technique that enhances my perception and the destructive power of my ninjutsu; there's nothing special about it," Uchiha Touko said.

Uchiha Touko certainly wouldn't tell the other party the true effects of his eye technique, since no one could tell its specific functions if he didn't explain it.

"Is that so?" Uchiha Dian nodded. No wonder when he observed Uchiha Touko, he found that the other party could remain unscathed from the siege of enemies hundreds of times his size, and that his lightning release power far exceeded that of ordinary people. So that's the effect of his eye technique.

"If my eye technique were a little stronger, I wouldn't be completely helpless against that guy," Uchiha Touko said through gritted teeth.

"Hmph, don't blame your weakness on your eye techniques. My eye techniques are also similar types that enhance physical strength," Madara Uchiha said with a cold snort.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touko remained silent for a while before speaking, "Lord Madara is right."

"Hmph." Madara Uchiha snorted again before sitting up. "Did the enemies you encountered possess any troublesome abilities?"

"He has the ability to freely control the expansion and contraction of matter remotely. Furthermore, he can open a special spacetime gate and summon an extremely powerful black cube from it for attack," Uchiha Touko said respectfully.

"I see, I understand now." Madara Uchiha cracked his knuckles, then turned sharply around, staring intently at Touko Uchiha. "One last question, junior. You're so enthusiastic about the Eye of the Moon Project, does that mean you want to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki?"

As soon as Madara Uchiha finished speaking, the atmosphere in the cave became tense. Madara's chakra began to surge. With the Ten-Tails involved, Madara didn't trust anyone, especially since he had no way to counter Uchiha Touko.

However, facing Madara Uchiha's oppressive aura, Tokō Uchiha remained calm, and at the same time, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on his face again. He scratched his head and said, "Oh, right, Lord Madara, there is another very important matter after resurrecting you with Edo Tensei. That is, the final Infinite Tsukuyomi technique may require your completion."

"Oh?" Madara Uchiha frowned slightly upon hearing this, but he also slightly restrained his aura. "That's the power of the Ten-Tails, the combined power of nine tailed beasts. Aren't you even a little bit tempted?"

"More than obtaining the Ten-Tails, I want to revive Kaito, who died protecting me in the war." - Uchiha

"Hehe, also, Lord Madara, you may not know this, but although it's a secret of Konoha that Lord Touko is not good at genjutsu, it's become common knowledge throughout the ninja world in recent years." At this moment, Tobi, disguised as Black Zetsu, said with a sly smile.

"Hey! Give me some face in front of Lord Madara!" Uchiha Touko said to Black Zetsu, his face showing an expression of embarrassment and anger.

"You're not good at genjutsu?" Madara Uchiha's eyes widened instantly. "You're a member of the Uchiha clan, and you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, yet you're not good at genjutsu?"

Madara Uchiha did not doubt Black Zetsu, after all, in his mind, Black Zetsu was the embodiment of his will, completely obedient to him.

"Lord Madara, I truly have no talent in this area... I have brought shame upon the clan." Uchiha Touko lowered his head in shame.

"Hmph, my Uchiha clan has dominated the ninja world since ancient times with fire release and genjutsu. As the current clan leader, how can you walk with a limp?" Uchiha Madara sneered and reprimanded.

Uchiha Touko: ...

If you really think about it that way, he's not just lame in one leg, but in both.

However, although Madara Uchiha said this, he was actually quite relieved about Touko Uchiha. After all, someone like Touko Uchiha, who had an obsession with reviving his loved ones and posed no threat to his position as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, was the perfect tool. You know, even Obito needed to be guarded against with the Cursed Seal back then, and Touko Uchiha's genjutsu skills couldn't support the Infinite Tsukuyomi. If he wanted to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to revive his loved ones, then he would have no choice but to be loyal to him.

"Give me detailed information about that guy later," Madara Uchiha instructed Black Zetsu. "As for you, go and sort things out on the battlefield first. Now that you've become Hokage, don't disgrace the title, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Madara! Loyal!" Uchiha Touko stood at attention and saluted.

"What are you doing?" Uchiha Touko's actions completely baffled Uchiha Madara, who immediately frowned.
