Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"Tell me how to break free of the heart curse!"

"Complete... Sage Technique training... The White Snake Sage will infuse Sage Chakra. If natural energy... gets out of control, the body will transform into a snake's body, and the cursed seal... will be released."

"?"

Obito listened with a puzzled look on his face. This was exactly the same information he had learned before. Orochimaru had not lied to him at all, and the methods he was told were all true.

"how so?!"

Grabbing his long black hair, Obito screamed in pain, trying to break free of the cursed seal and turn into a snake? Could a snake still carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan? What would Rin think of him?

From beginning to end, he was completely outmaneuvered by Orochimaru. Even at this point, he still couldn't kill him and harbored a sliver of hope.

Outside the barrier, Uchiha Shisui and the others continued to channel chakra while remaining on guard. Any other ninja would have been reduced to ashes after being bombed for five minutes.

However, the enemy who has mastered the space-time eye technique is different. The opponent seems to be able to travel to a certain space to avoid damage. Now it seems that this kind of time blurring is really outrageous. Many Uchiha members stared wide-eyed.

At this moment, the surrounding ground has been infused with life through inorganic regeneration, and the black iron sand is automatically drawn out and churns on the ground.

Black claws of various shapes would occasionally emerge from the ground, writhing erratically. In some places, large mouths full of sharp teeth would appear, wandering in the black sea of ​​sand and playfully tearing at the surrounding trees.

The various scraping sounds made the Konoha ninjas present goosebumps. If they didn't know it was Master Shu's Sage Mode, they would have thought they had stumbled into a ghost realm...

The ninja in charge of timing the sensory barrier suddenly shouted, "They're here!" The Yamanaka clan ninja connecting everyone immediately marked their location, and the young man from the clan instantly activated the "Mind Transfer Technique."

At the same time, the black shadows of the well-coordinated Nara clan ninjas spread rapidly, and taking advantage of Obito's stiff body appearing in the distance, the "Shadow Imitation Technique" was also successfully connected.

As the black iron sand began to shrink and envelop his body, the White Zetsu on Obito's body screamed first. The shadow of death appeared, and the accumulated eye power exploded instantly without reservation!

"Celestial Technique: Iron Sand Binding Coffin!"

"what!"

The bones within his body groaned, and Obito roared in agony. Blue skeletons began to rapidly appear in his Susanoo. The Uchiha clan members who had flashed to the distance widened their eyes, while Shisui suddenly froze.

"Why isn't it a purple Susanoo?"

"It's been developed to this extent?!"

Osamu Furukawa was surprised that Obito's Susanoo had enveloped his entire body and entered the third stage. The opponent's eye power should not have increased so much. He suddenly thought of being spied on and his eyes twitched involuntarily.

Seeing the blue giant try to struggle to his feet, the Konoha ninja all gasped in surprise, and Furukawa Shunori immediately shouted words of comfort:

"It's a futile struggle! Calm down, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Furukawa Osamu clasped his hands together, and a dense green light erupted around his body. The violent Sage Chakra once again infused the iron sand with immense life force, and countless sharp claws shot out in an instant.

The blue Susanoo giant was about to stand up when it was pulled to the ground by unreasonable black chains...

"boom!"

The giant slammed into the black iron sand with a dull thud. At that moment, Obito, behind the mask, had blood streaming from his eyes, and his left leg and right arm were numb; he knew his bones were shattered...

The White Zetsu on his body continued to wail, and the iron sand containing life force entered his body and tried to pounce on Obito. Just suppressing these strange things was enough to make him collapse.

When Obito saw the black giant mouth swallow the Susanoo giant whole, he immediately gathered his eye power desperately, and the aura of death reappeared.

"Celestial Art: Iron Sand Funeral!"

Furukawa Osamu's Sage Chakra erupted once more, twice as powerful as before, causing the iron sand enveloping Susanoo to instantly twist, accompanied by a piercing friction sound.

As Furukawa Osamu clenched his right fist, a loud "boom" resounded, and Susanoo was shattered into pieces, flying everywhere along with black iron sand.

From the moment the blue giant was pulled down and swallowed, to the moment it was torn to pieces, only a few breaths passed; the legendary power vanished just like that...

The Uchiha ninja in the distance stared wide-eyed; even with a well-prepared ambush, this power was still too exaggerated.

"Master Xiu, at the 10 o'clock position!"

As Furukawa Osamu turned his head, the black iron sand on the ground, amplified by black electric arcs, erupted violently.

The black spikes, gleaming with a dark light, pierced through the trees within a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. Obito, who had just collapsed to the ground in a sorry state, was sent flying again, and his remaining Susanoo skeleton was about to disappear.

The Konoha ninjas were all calculating the time; in about three breaths, the opponent would be able to activate his eye technique. As Obito disappeared again, the direction that Furukawa Osamu sensed also immediately vanished.

"cough..."

Not far from Kisame, Obito suddenly fell out of the vortex, collapsing to the ground and coughing up blood. He had exhausted most of his eye power just by breaking free from the iron sand, and he had now reached his limit.

The once arrogant Madara was now covered in blood. Kisame rushed forward, thinking that Madara might not survive and wanted to run away on the spot.

However, seeing the dangerous glint in Obito's eyes, Kisame immediately formed hand seals and, without paying attention to the specific direction, spat out a huge stream of water:

"Water Release: Big Explosive Water Wave!"

"Sage Art: Storm Release - Lightning Water Dragon Bullet!"

A giant water sphere covered a large area of ​​forest. Before Kisame could launch an attack, several enormous water dragons crackling with black electricity rushed towards him.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

Kisame cried out silently and hurriedly grabbed Madara. Then the two of them were swallowed whole by the water dragon.

At the critical moment, Samehada, the greatsword on his back, absorbed the chakra in time, and the paralysis disappeared by most of it. Obito, who had gathered his eye power again, hurriedly activated Kamui and disappeared with Kisame.

The giant water sphere covering the forest shattered, leaving only a few huge water dragons with black lightning flashing around them, twisting and turning wildly. Trees within a radius of hundreds of meters were blown away, the ground caved in, and mud flew everywhere.

The Sage Art was completely dispelled only after the life force in the black water dragon's body disappeared. The Konoha ninja who rushed over were all soaked to the bone by the sudden downpour, but no one complained.

Everyone had just witnessed the cataclysmic ninjutsu, and now they all looked up at Furukawa Osamu, who was hovering in the air with enormous black wings on his back, and shouted excitedly:

Is this the power of God?

"Can a ninja do this?"

"Lord Shu has defeated the evil Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"Master Xiu!!"

All six squads of Konoha ninjas screamed wildly, and within a kilometer radius in front of them, the ground turned black and churned up. This was something that ninjas could not do!

The only drawback of the Iron Sand Ninjutsu is that the preparation time is too long, but its power can be even greater if the environment is changed, there are enough of them, and it is enhanced with a large amount of Sage Chakra.

As Furukawa Osamu stood in mid-air with his arms crossed, reviewing the night's battle, a strange look flashed in his eyes upon hearing the shouts behind him:

"Miracles happen through sheer force?!"

"If one unit of Sage Chakra isn't enough, then double it. It might be because Ashura's chakra is of such high quality..."

"If Ashura Chakra combined with Sage Techniques has this kind of power, wouldn't the Six Paths Sage Mode become a 'high-level cultivator'?"

Back on the ground, Furukawa Osamu was still spotless, casually tossing his long, loose black hair behind him, and solemnly asked:

"How's it going? You should have gathered enough information on the enemy's ninjutsu mechanics by now!"

"Yes, Lord Xiu, the intervals between consecutive uses of the eye technique and the duration of entry into the unknown space are all recorded in detail!"

"When I get back, I will share this memory with the intelligence department so that they can study it more carefully."

A Yamanaka clan ninja wearing a bull's head mask responded loudly, saying that with the crucial intelligence, the enemy was no longer a threat thanks to the power of the Konoha ninjas.

"Don't be careless. We've been preparing for almost two months, but the enemy can still escape using space-time ninjutsu."

“The opponent still has many abilities they haven’t been able to use. Gray Raven, when we get back, you can report to the Hokage separately.”

"It involves some secret techniques, so don't forget to consult with the clan."

Uchiha Shisui's face showed excitement, but fortunately, his mask concealed his flushed cheeks. He bowed deeply in response:

"Yes, Lord Xiu!"

The Uchiha ninjas of the same clan also bowed their heads. Even with preparation, the legendary power could not withstand Master Shu's Sage Art. After returning, they could strike at those "followers of Uchiha Madara".

Furukawa Osamu nodded, signaling everyone to return to inspect the laboratory. When he was the only one left, he turned his head to look in one direction.

After the living iron sand entered the Kamui space, it was sent out of his body by White Zetsu. The spiritual body technique he had left behind quietly replenished its energy, which made his senses clearer.

Maintaining Sage Mode, Furukawa Osamu carefully calculated that at this level of coordinates, consuming even more Sage Chakra, he could roughly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to invade:

"Time to go to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to replenish my energy. Working hard is pointless; continuing to spy on my best friend is useless..."

The thought that Obito might be spying on him intensely when he wasn't in the village made it impossible for Furukawa Osamu to comment on the other's method of increasing his eye power.

It is indeed impressive that an ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan can use the third stage of Susanoo. Without experiencing extreme pain, one cannot generate such powerful ocular power.

...

Inside the Kamui dimension, Kisame silently held the greatsword Samehada. This damned Madara-sama seemed unreliable no matter how you looked at it.

With his eye power overused and chakra depleted, Obito lost control of the space and was unable to open a passage for the time being.

The White Zetsu, now separated from Obito's body, were constantly pulling out "stock" – these were White Zetsu bodies they had stored, which could replace "parts" and replenish chakra.

"This is bad. I don't know medical ninjutsu. Do I have to amputate this leg?"

"This seems like a good option! Lord Madara, what do you think?"

After White Zetsu attached itself to a body of its own kind, it made a comical suggestion to Obito, who was lying on the ground. Upon hearing that Obito's leg was to be cut off, Obito tried his best to maintain Madara Uchiha's tone and responded in a low voice:

"Give me some time. Once I've replenished my chakra and eye power, then I'll consider treatment!"

Obito wanted to criticize Furukawa Osamu's Sage Mode, but remembering that there were two other people in the space, he could only lie on the ground and remain silent for the time being.

Kisame looked at Madara, whose body was charred black and covered in blood, and sighed inwardly. Then, in his usual leisurely tone, he asked:

"Lord Ban, is there any food or water here? I'd like to get some."

Obito remained silent, while the White Zetsu beside him chuckled and responded:

"We don't need food or water! Speaking of which, can you tell me what it feels like to need to poop?"

Kisame, who had been trying so hard to maintain a respectful demeanor, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He leaned on his large sword Samehada with his left hand and rested his right hand on his forehead, muttering helplessly:

"So, I might starve to death here?"

"You can try eating your own poop!"

"Shut up! It's only a few days, there's no need to worry."

Obito forced himself to maintain his composure and responded with a single word, then began vomiting blood again.

Kisame was already in despair when he saw this scene. He turned to look at the delirious Orochimaru on the other side, then simply sat down on the ground, clutching the greatsword Samehada and pondering silently:

"Is that crazy woman Mei Terumi trying to kill me? If I can kill this guy here, it seems the village's crisis will be resolved."

"This organization seems to have no future. After completing Master Xiu's mission, they'll go back and rebuild Kirigakure..."

The White Zetsu released its pent-up pressure by lightening the mood, then reattached itself to Obito, and the two communicated silently:

"White guy, keep an eye on Kisame and replenish my eye power and chakra as soon as possible."

"We must master the power of the Gedo Mazo as soon as possible; we can't waste any more time!"

Upon hearing Obito's words, White Zetsu fell silent. How could he improve his eye power if he didn't spy on him?

It had opposed the entire operation, but in the end, Madara jumped right into the trap. However, looking back on the whole process, White Zetsu felt both lingering fear and a sense of amusement, since it was still alive.

"Is Lord Madara going to break ties with Black Zetsu and the others?"

"Nagato doesn't seem to dislike Furukawa Osamu. Perhaps they're even aiming to control the ninja world together; their goals are similar..."

Obito immediately fell silent. He was the one who was going to end the ninja world. Suddenly thinking of Kakashi, he hesitated for a moment and whispered in response:

"If they really team up, how about I confront Kakashi? We...we can take care of Rin together! We can fight that evil guy together, and end the ninja world together!"

"Konoha will discover Furukawa Osamu's secret sooner or later..."

Obito fell silent halfway through his sentence. Ever since his "disguise" was revealed, he had become somewhat vulnerable, and he felt that saying these words had completely eroded his composure.

Bai Jue was dumbfounded. After all that fuss, this guy in front of him had actually chickened out and wanted to go back to take care of that girl?

The two remained silent for a while. White Zetsu didn't mention the plan Obito had just revealed, and instead sighed in his usual comical tone:

"As expected, Furukawa Osamu is more like Lord Madara! No, that guy might even be more powerful than Lord Madara!"

"Don't give up so easily! Otherwise I'll have to serve Master Xiu. Maybe he can let me experience what it's like to poop."

Although his tone was comical, Obito knew that the White Zetsu wasn't joking. Recalling the evil experiments his best friend had undergone, the boy regained his resolute expression and responded in Madara Uchiha's tone:

"I must protect them, speed up the plan, I need the power of the Gedo Statue."

"Yes, Lord Madara!"

-

At 4 a.m., as dawn broke, after the search of the laboratory was completed, Furukawa Osamu looked at Orochimaru's subordinates. At this time, the group had just finished treatment and were all keeping their heads down and not saying a word.

"Since we've made this choice, there's nothing wrong with it. We just need to be careful of being hunted down by the Konoha ninja."
