Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

The young man's painful screams went unanswered; even a ninja who wielded chakra was powerless against such a force that manipulated the planet's energy.

When Naruto knelt on the ground, he even considered giving in, but a sudden noise made him abruptly raise his head.

A slug as tall as a person appeared out of nowhere, leisurely wriggling on the thick branches, as if checking the growth of the sacred tree.

When it saw Naruto, the slug tilted its head and looked at him for a while, then reminded him in a soft, sweet voice:

"Lord Xiu has not lost his way; the divine tree is meant to break the divine spell that has already been activated!"

"These thick branches that spread across the entire planet are rare and valuable materials. After assimilation, they can alter the energy distribution of the secret realm."

"I haven't collected many from the three holy sites in the past, so this time I can choose whatever I want."

Naruto's spirits lifted, his broken will was rebuilt at that moment, and the intense joy even temporarily suppressed Isshiki Otsutsuki's spiritual body.

"Won't everyone die? Will our world return to what it was before?"

"That's great...that's really great!"

Perhaps because he had been too desperate before, Naruto unconditionally believed the slug's words upon hearing the news. He was not a savior, nor did he want to be a prophetic child; he only wanted to return to his original world.

"The divine technique amplifies the caster's chakra spectrum across the entire planet and connects this special spectrum to every living being."

"This is part of the principle that Master Xiu has perceived. To destroy this waveband, one would naturally need even more powerful chakra."

"Don't worry, the quality of the caster's chakra won't exceed the energy generated by the Divine Tree. The opponent isn't the Otsutsuki God, so Master Shu will succeed!"

Naruto was about to respond when he suddenly clutched his head in pain. Isshiki Otsutsuki's spirit had regained control of his body, and black stripes rapidly spread across his right cheek.

"Hmph! The delusions of a lowly creature!"

"You can't do anything..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Otsutsuki Isshiki immediately shot into the air towards the Land of Lightning, saying "delusional" but in his heart he was worried about the changes in the Divine Tree.

Although he didn't believe that Osamu Furukawa would destroy the Divine Tree and give up the Chakra Fruit, Isshiki Otsutsuki was still worried that some unknown variables might occur if he didn't go and see for himself.

The live slug ignored the departing Otsutsuki; the Divine Tree was excellent material, and she needed to select superior root systems to rearrange the Shikkotsu Forest.

"An environment with a higher energy concentration might be more conducive to the development of life. This time, we're sure to succeed!"

-

On the coastline of the Land of Lightning, after the Divine Tree absorbed chakra, its condition gradually improved, and the cracks on its trunk disappeared.

Kashin Koji, who was bound by thick tree branches, had long since stopped reacting. In contrast, Uchiha Madara finally struggled to his feet, and the black chakra aura around him gradually disappeared.

Hovering in mid-air, Furukawa Osamu ignored Uchiha Madara, still calculating how much chakra he needed to break the divine technique "node" in Madara's body.

That strange power even allowed Madara Uchiha to adapt to the damage caused by the planet's rotation, and the Ten-Tails sealed within him also re-condensed its chakra, finally completely healing the injuries he had sustained.

"Cough... No one can kill me!"

"Your biggest mistake was releasing the divine tree before me..."

Madara Uchiha straightened up, and as soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the thick tree trunk that was binding Kashin Koji and quickly formed hand seals based on his body's instincts.

Madara Uchiha was supposed to absorb the Divine Tree into his body in one fell swoop, but the expected situation did not occur at all. Instead, he was whipped away by a suddenly twisting branch...

After rolling several times on the ground, Madara Uchiha propped himself up again, coughing up blood and shouting angrily:

"How is this possible! Why can't I absorb it?!"

Osamu Furukawa, who was sitting cross-legged on the Truth-Seeking Ball in mid-air, opened his eyes. After landing on the ground, he noticed the twisted expression on Madara Uchiha's face and calmly responded:

"With your current weakened chakra, how can you absorb the complete God Tree?"

"You are just a vessel, you know that perfectly well, yet you still cling to illusions."

"You are now a vessel for divine magic, and also a vessel for Kaguya. Old man, cooperate with me and you can return to the Pure Land; otherwise, you will disappear from this world completely."

Madara Uchiha was indeed able to control the power of the Ten-Tails, but after becoming an Otsutsuki, he was also distorted by the power. After all, the Ten-Tails was essentially Kaguya, and this was just the process of the Otsutsuki reviving.

"No one can manipulate my will!"

Madara Uchiha stood up and gave a low shout. Then, Limbo was activated again, and four clones rushed towards Osamu Furukawa.

While his main body was affected by his injuries, his clones were in better condition. Madara Uchiha hoped that the four Limbo clones could hold off Osamu Furukawa for a while, as he needed to try sealing the Divine Tree into his body again.

One clone leaps into the air, another launches a frontal assault, and two more clones assist from the left and right flanks. The four clones launch a frontal assault with a speed that ordinary ninjas cannot react to.

"It seems you haven't realized the gap between you yet."

As soon as Furukawa finished speaking, the Yomi Gozakai was activated again. The space covered by the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan's vision was immediately enveloped by the domain. He condensed the Futsu-no-Mitama Chakra Katana in his right hand and swung it around.

The blade of energy that flew out diagonally cleaved the domain in two, and the Limbo clones all disappeared in one blow.

Madara Uchiha ascended into the air at lightning speed, dodging attacks while constantly devising a countermeasure. Sage techniques and ninjutsu were useless against such power, and although he was confident in his taijutsu, he was completely countered by Osamu Furukawa's eye techniques.

The difference between the two lies more in chakra, and Madara Uchiha has already realized this, so he needs to seal the Divine Tree to obtain greater power.

While pondering, Madara Uchiha suddenly saw a "disc" shimmering with black flames appear on Osamu Furukawa's left hand. Realizing something was wrong, the black disc suddenly flashed in front of him.

The black disc flew silently through Madara Uchiha's waist. Madara realized he had been cut in half at the waist, and an expression of disbelief returned to his face as he murmured:

"How could this be..."

"thump..."

Under the slightly reddish moonlight, Uchiha Madara, broken in two, crashed to the ground. He couldn't react to Furukawa Osamu's attack at all; that teleportation enhanced by his eye technique was a sure hit for him.

Even a normal Otsutsuki would likely die from such injuries, but Madara Uchiha was different. His wounds had stopped bleeding, and he could still support his upper body with his arms.

"Haha... I told you, I'm immortal..."

Madara Uchiha was surprised to be able to survive. At this moment, he had a completely new understanding of his power; he had become an immortal being.

The black disc flew silently back into Furukawa Osamu's hand, transforming back into the Seeking the Way Jade Bracelet.

Just as Furukawa was about to give a brief response to the monster in front of him, he suddenly sensed a familiar chakra.

"Very well, it's more appropriate to leave the task of fully awakening the other divine tree to the Otsutsuki."

Madara Uchiha sensed something was wrong when he heard Osamu Furukawa's whisper, but he was powerless to resist. He could only watch as the thick branches bound him, and then some thin branches were suddenly pierced into his body.

"what!!"

Madara Uchiha screamed as a surge of chakra rushed into his body, with a portion of Osamu Furukawa's spiritual consciousness forcibly entering his mental world.

The wailing caused Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had reached his destination, to hover in the air. Although the Divine Tree looked underdeveloped, he was relieved to see that it was intact.

Upon noticing that half of his body was on Madara Uchiha, Isshiki suddenly widened his eyes and then let out a low shout:

"What are you doing?! Awakening Kaguya?!"

"Stop it! Don't waste your chakra..."

Several black rods suddenly appeared in front of Furukawa, then abruptly changed direction, flying swiftly past his sides and scattering gravel as they struck the ground.

After the Release Wedge entered its second state, Naruto's body transformed back into a monster form, and he shot towards Furukawa Osamu.

"boom!!"

Breaking the sonic boom, Isshiki hurriedly shrunk his body in mid-air, passing over the chakra katana and falling to the ground. As he did so, Isshiki looked at Furukawa Osamu in the air, a look of confusion on his face, and then roared angrily:

"Your eye technique?!"

"How could a lowly being possibly control that chakra?!"

Furukawa Osamu realized that he hadn't been able to sense the domain immediately after the first strike, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He simply replied:

"It's just a completely new energy source. I'm still getting used to it, thanks to the divine tree you gave me."

"impossible!"

In just two months, Furukawa Osamu had mastered even greater power. Otsutsuki Isshiki simply couldn't believe that the Divine Tree was still there and that inferior beings couldn't refine pills. He simply couldn't believe the facts before his eyes.

The ground instantly caved in, and a black staff appeared in Ichishiki's hand, shooting out again. Furukawa Osamu didn't use his eye technique again, narrowed his eyes, gripped the chakra katana in his hand, and charged forward.

"boom!"

The purple and red lights, crackling with electricity, clashed violently under the moonlight. Madara Uchiha, bound by the Divine Tree, looked up at the sky, barely able to make out the movements of the two.

During the continuous clashes, he did not immediately use the Lesser Name Biguna. He had a deep impression of their last encounter, as the opponent's technique contained unknown life characteristics.

"drink!!"

Furukawa Osamu, who had been thrown back, suddenly let out a low shout. From his high vantage point, he unleashed a barrage of purple light projectiles, the dense barrage of attacks and terrifying energy fluctuations causing Isshiki to roar in fury:

"Damn inferior creatures!"

Shona Bikona unleashed his full power without reservation. Some of the purple light bullets were instantly shrunk, but some of the attacks hidden within continued to burst towards Isshiki.

"what!!"

The one who was trying to shrink and transfer suddenly lost control of his body briefly. By the time he realized he was enveloped by the domain, it was too late. The purple light bullet teleported in front of him, and a terrifying energy fluctuation erupted.

"boom!!"

Amidst the deafening roar, a blinding white light appeared. Otsutsuki Isshiki, blasted to the ground, coughed up blood in the crater. After wiping his mouth, he roared angrily in his mental world:

Do you know what you're doing?!

"Die, you monster!"

Naruto's face was full of anger, completely ignoring his injuries. He had almost lost everything, and the culprit was these aliens. He completely abandoned any remaining hope he had.

Not daring to be distracted, Ichishiki was about to attack again when the bound Uchiha Madara suddenly screamed in pain again, and dense branches suddenly appeared on his severed waist.

The thick branches of the Divine Tree were torn apart, and with a loud bang, Madara Uchiha transformed into a "Divine Tree Monster." His empty lower body was replaced by branches, and his entire being seemed to have suddenly become a Divine Tree.

Having absorbed a massive amount of chakra, Madara Uchiha suddenly unleashed an even more terrifying chakra surge. Seeing the almost tangible aura, Isshiki could no longer hold back and roared, "..."

"Stop! If this continues, the monster will come out!"

"You have no idea about the power of the Chakra Fruit..."

Otsutsuki Isshiki clearly knew his limits. After consuming that special chakra fruit and then fusing with the God Tree, Otsutsuki Kaguya had broken through racial limitations and reached another level.

Sensing the other party's fear, Furukawa Osamu, hovering in the air, stopped channeling chakra into the Divine Tree.

He sensed the peculiar energy within Madara Uchiha's spiritual world and asked pointedly:

"A monster? The so-called Otsutsuki god is the real monster, isn't he?"

"Even an incomplete divine spell can affect the cognition of all life on the planet."

Otsutsuki Isshiki remained silent. He didn't know what had happened back then, but he was determined to get the chakra fruit from this special planet.

Just as Isshiki was about to use Daikokuten to absorb Madara Uchiha, his eyes suddenly widened, and an expression of disbelief reappeared in his golden pupils. A blue beam of light suddenly erupted from Madara Uchiha's body.

"what!!"

Painful howls echoed throughout the area as, within Madara Uchiha's mental world, Osamu Furukawa's spirit continuously unleashed Truth-Seeking Ball Shuriken, each imbued with spiritual energy.

The shimmering ball of energy withstood nine attacks before being shattered. Just as the divine magic ball shattered, the special chakra wave that enveloped the entire planet also disappeared.

The scattered divine energy suddenly surged in his spiritual world. Looking at the energy that was trying to merge into his spirit body, Furukawa Osamu chuckled. His spirit form completely disappeared. Nine attacks were the limit of his spirit body splitting.

Madara Uchiha felt as if his head was about to split open. The divine energy was still surging. After losing his target, he instinctively merged into this body.

The power of the Ten-Tails, the energy of divine arts, the chakra injected by Osamu Furukawa through manipulating the Divine Tree, the awakened part of Kaguya Otsutsuki's consciousness, and Madara's own will intertwined.

At this moment, the Otsutsuki-transformed body was on the verge of collapse. Madara Uchiha even felt his memories beginning to fade away. At this moment, he seemed to see the young Hashirama Senju anxiously shouting something.

"Hashirama...Hashirama!!"

"what!"

Calling out his best friend's name, Madara Uchiha forcibly transformed his mutated half-body back into human form, and the "Otsutsuki headband" reappeared on his forehead.

"Forehead..."

Exhausted, Madara Uchiha knelt on the ground with a blank look in his eyes, unconsciously groaning. When he saw Hashirama Senju smiling at him, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face as well.

At this moment, Isshiki Otsutsuki suddenly released a huge "black bowl" to seal Madara Uchiha, and then let out a long breath.

"It seems you finally realize the seriousness of the situation!"

“Osamu Furukawa, these troublesome matters can only be resolved when the Divine Tree condenses its chakra fruit.”

"Hmph, luckily I made it in time..."

Upon landing on the ground, Furukawa saw Isshiki both on guard and angrily complaining. He glanced at the black bowl and made a simple joke:

"Chakra Fruit? I do need it, but not in the way you imagine!"

Yishiki stared wide-eyed at Furukawa Osamu, who suddenly formed a hand seal with one hand. In the distance, the divine tree suddenly let out a mournful cry, and then countless cracks appeared on its thick trunk.
