"Is this the Toneri Otsutsuki's legion?"
On the rooftop of the only remaining steel building in Amegakure, which was protected by a barrier, Madara Uchiha stood with his arms crossed, looking at the Human Puppet army and the Reanimation Jutsu army below. They had been fighting for a day and a night, still incredibly fierce, as if neither side knew fatigue. He commented, "There are no Chakra threads, and although they have Yin-Yang Release: Black Rods inserted in them, their eyes haven't turned into the Tenseigan. It doesn't look like the Six Paths Techniques of the Rinnegan. It seems that the Tenseigan, like the Rinnegan, originates from the Sage of Six Paths, or perhaps, the Sage of Six Paths' surname is likely Otsutsuki."
Nagato stood beside Madara Uchiha and asked, "Is the Rinnegan the ultimate evolution of the Sharingan?"
"You could say that. When the two extremes become one, you can gain the power of all creation."
"Two extremes become one?" Nagato was slightly taken aback.
Before he could ponder it further, he saw Madara Uchiha lower his arms, a slight smile on his lips, and say, "It's this power..."
Forming hand seals, Madara Uchiha pushed forward and shouted a jutsu name that Nagato was extremely familiar with.
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"
The earth trembled, and countless cracks spread out.
Thick branches, wide enough for a dozen people to embrace, surged out from the cracks, like epic pythons sleeping underground. They instantly destroyed the incredibly sturdy steel building, transforming into a green wave that spread out in all directions, engulfing the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye.
The advancing green wave became visibly more vibrant, growing countless branches and leaves.
Wherever it passed, it left behind towering, colossal trees.
"That Chakra is indeed his. The butterfly effect has appeared again."
Izayoi's Wood Clone, who witnessed this scene, transmitted the information to the main body in real-time while controlling the remaining Human Puppet army, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly teleport away.
Except for a few Human Puppets that were submerged by the tree wave and instantly drained of Chakra by the binding branches, the other Human Puppets' figures suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The only ones who suffered were the reanimated dead.
Seeing this scene through the perception of the Wood Release, Madara Uchiha frowned slightly, his face full of disdain. "Is that Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique? His style is just as insidious as that guy's."
"There's no need to pay attention to this battlefield; it's just a clash of the undead," Nagato reminded him. "That Toneri Otsutsuki's Tenseigan has incredibly exaggerated long-range vision and x-ray vision, and he can read lips. Your presence, and our conversation just now, might have been seen by him. If his main body and Izayoi team up, with Danzo Shimura's Kamui assisting, my main body and Tobi might not last long."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Madara Uchiha smiled confidently, "Once that guy comes over, he'll be there in about ten seconds."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nagato saw space distorting in front of him.
Immediately, a distorted figure flew out from within. It was Uchiha Obito, whose left mask was missing a corner, his forehead and face covered in scars, and his three-tomoe Sharingan flashing red light.
Seeing this guy who was more trouble than he was worth, Nagato's eyes showed a hint of disdain.
If this guy hadn't given away his eyes and hadn't told him about the secret of the Mangekyo Sharingan, and spent all day pretending to be a ghost, Nagato wouldn't have lost so badly.
If Nagato had known in advance, he would have already gone to retrieve Uchiha Obito's left eye. Even if he didn't return it to Uchiha Obito to enhance his strength, he could have installed it on Pain to strengthen Pain's power.
Or he could have hidden it, at least preventing himself from falling into despair.
Nagato couldn't understand Uchiha Obito's thought process.
A lunatic who caused the Nine Tails attack and the Village Hidden in Blood Mist, who could even kill his own teacher and his teacher's wife, and destroy his clan, was clearly not someone who would care about the feelings of his classmates and comrades.
Why, after going to Konoha so many times, did he never think of retrieving his left eye?
That kind of offensive space-time ninjutsu would make even his main body extremely wary.
If Uchiha Obito were to reclaim his left eye, even if his identity were exposed, he could still stand on equal footing with Nagato.
So why didn't he do that?
Nagato couldn't understand.
However, if Nagato were to view Uchiha Obito and Kakashi Hatake as analogous to his own bond with Yahiko, perhaps he could understand.
"You're in quite a state, Obito." Madara Uchiha also frowned slightly as he looked at Uchiha Obito and asked, "So many years have passed, have you not diligently trained in the things I taught you?"
Uchiha Obito, who had already consumed two Three-Tomoe Sharingan to activate Izanagi, didn't speak. Instead, he took the Gunbai from his back, threw it to Madara Uchiha, and said indifferently, "Here, take it back. That guy in the Kamui Dimension is very dangerous. His light spheres can instantly drain Chakra. I almost couldn't even activate Izanagi."
"Toneri Otsutsuki? Is it the main body or a clone?" Madara Uchiha's fighting spirit was immediately ignited.
Black Zetsu quickly reminded him, "Lord Madara, resurrection is the most important thing right now."
"You're right. Then let a Wood Clone go in and play with him." Madara Uchiha nodded, then formed hand seals and created a Wood Clone that also possessed infinite Chakra but lacked immortality.
Uchiha Obito first used Kamui to send Madara Uchiha's Wood Clone into the Kamui Dimension.
Then, he took Madara Uchiha and Black and White Zetsu with him into the Kamui Dimension.
At the same time, Uchiha Obito's Wood Clone, which had been hidden in the battlefield between Nagato and Izayoi, also used Kamui to release the main body and the others.
In just a few seconds, Madara Uchiha and the others had crossed from Amegakure to the forest area of the Land of Fire.
From Madara Uchiha's resurrection to his appearance here, only about three minutes had passed.
During this time, Izayoi had just used Danzo Shimura's Kamui assist to drive Nagato and Tobi down from the head of the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue. He himself saved a large amount of Chakra and took over control of the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue, manipulating its hundred giant arms to bombard Nagato and Tobi.
"Almighty Push!"
Nagato released a terrifying repulsion storm, blocking and shattering the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue's attacks.
After the attacks stopped, he quickly formed hand seals and used the Summoning Jutsu to rescue the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which had been sealed by Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees and Myōjin Gate.
The standoff between the three behemoths returned to a one-on-one situation.
However, the controllers above changed from one against two to two against two.
Izayoi was in the open, and Danzo Shimura was in the shadows.
To avoid being ambushed by Kamui, Nagato and Tobi kept their bodies tense at all times, not daring to use Yin-Yang Release to connect with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and consume a large amount of Chakra to create Chakra dragons. They could only use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as a Wood Human Arhat.
Izayoi, who was receiving real-time information from the Wood Clone, was in a bad mood and also felt very confused.
Madara Uchiha being resurrected by Reanimation Jutsu was within Izayoi's expectations from the moment Nagato exposed the Reanimation Jutsu Legion.
After all, Madara Uchiha's corpse was in Black Zetsu's hands.
With Nagato's confidence, he certainly wouldn't be afraid of Madara Uchiha.
He even seemed to envision a scene of Madara Uchiha and Nagato fighting like dogs.
The current Nagato, both in strength and intellect, was incomparable to the original work.
It would be even more difficult for Madara Uchiha to reclaim the Rinnegan from Nagato than from Uchiha Obito.
Even Uchiha Obito knew that his heart had a Cursed Seal. Nagato would definitely know his own physical condition and avoid any unexpected situations in the plan. Madara Uchiha would absolutely not implant a Cursed Seal in Nagato's body like he did with Uchiha Obito.
In Izayoi's estimation, the best-case scenario for the two of them was to join forces.
But now, Madara Uchiha had taken the lead.
What was going on?
What exactly did they say in the dark underground base?
At this moment, a figure appeared on top of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head.
Looking at the figure beside him, Tobi immediately smiled and said, "Lord Madara, welcome back."
"It's been a long time, Tobi," Madara Uchiha also replied with a smile.
Before Madara Uchiha could praise him, Tobi opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Madara, was there poop in the Pure Land? Did you still feel the urge to defecate after you died?"
"..."
Madara Uchiha's forehead was covered in black lines, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Nagato also reacquainted himself with Tobi, not expecting Tobi's hobbies to be so peculiar.
Immediately, Nagato said, "While there's plenty of Chakra now, I'll revive you first."
"No rush, let's deal with these troubles first," Madara Uchiha shook his head and refused, looking at the black-haired young man on top of the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue's head, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as he said, "Hashirama's clansman, let me see how big the gap is between him and Hashirama."
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"
Madara Uchiha formed hand seals, and the massive Chakra immediately permeated into the earth through the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, seizing control of the Advent of a World of Flowering Trees.
The branches, like pythons, wrapped around the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue from bottom to top, binding it in place.
Some trees were also forced to grow huge red flowers.
However, before the branches could spread like vines throughout the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue's body, the branches suddenly stopped and retreated at an even faster speed.
The red flowers also withered quickly without blooming.
Madara Uchiha couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, a smile playing on his lips as he said, "This level of Sage Chakra does have some of Hashirama's style."
"Let's revive you first, otherwise, when Toneri Otsutsuki appears, our situation will be very passive," Nagato suggested again, "His Tenseigan can also evolve on its own. I'm not sure if he has other abilities besides Yin-Yang Release and alternative Six Paths Techniques. Your Rinnegan can also turn back into the Mangekyo Sharingan, right?"
Hearing this, Madara Uchiha, who was just about to use his Complete Susanoo to fight Izayoi, suddenly remembered his Limbo: Border Jail. The fighting spirit in his eyes was immediately replaced by solemnity, and he nodded, "In that case, revive me first."
After speaking, a white tube extended from the head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, connecting to Madara Uchiha's back.
"Roar..."
As the inexhaustible Chakra from the Reanimation Jutsu surged into his body, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path immediately let out a deafening roar. The terrifying airwaves and sound waves, like a hurricane, blew the trees swaying, and even Izayoi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
Then, huge chains shot out from the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, like the Uzumaki Clan's Adamantine Sealing Chains, binding the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue. At the same time, they flickered with purple Chakra fluctuations.
The next second, the Chakra within the Thousand-Armed Buddha Statue was quickly absorbed.
Another chain shot towards Izayoi. Izayoi didn't resist but instantly disappeared.
At the same time, the space around Madara Uchiha suddenly twisted.
"Is this the ability of Obito's other eye?"
Looking at the slowly distorting space, Madara Uchiha chuckled lightly as he disconnected from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. "A very good eye, but unfortunately you only have one, and its eye power is too weak."
Whether it's the Sharingan or the Rinnegan, only by having a pair can their strongest power be unleashed.
The eye power of a single eye is not just halved in power.
However, in the next second, Madara Uchiha's expression changed slightly.
The distorted space did not pursue him and Nagato, who had left the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, but instead moved downwards, targeting the head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Just as Madara Uchiha was preparing to use Susanoo to see if Yin Release Chakra could interfere, a figure suddenly appeared on top of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head.
Immediately, the distorted spatial fluctuation returned to its original position.
The figure was none other than Uchiha Obito, whose left eye was already blind.
"Well done, Obito," Madara Uchiha praised without reservation.
Nagato, who had already formed hand seals and was preparing to release the summoning jutsu, also lowered his hands.
After landing, Nagato quickly came before Madara Uchiha and said, "Cover me."
"Obito."
Madara Uchiha called out, and Uchiha Obito instantly appeared.
Tobi detached from Nagato and attached himself to Uchiha Obito.
Then Madara Uchiha and Tobi simultaneously formed hand seals and channeled Chakra into the ground, not giving Izayoi a chance to launch a surprise attack with Wood Release.
Uchiha Obito first glanced at Madara Uchiha, then looked at the half-emerged Black and White Zetsu not far away, immediately dispelling the little thoughts in his mind. He stared intently at Nagato, who had already formed hand seals, not giving Danzo Shimura a chance to disrupt with Kamui.
"Outer Path... Rinne Rebirth!"
As Nagato's shout rang out, wisps of white steam immediately rose from Madara Uchiha's body.
The cracks covering his entire body were disappearing at a visible speed, and the Sharingan with black sclera also showed a large number of cracks, like glass that had fallen to the ground, with pieces falling off one by one.
Just then, the distorted spatial fluctuation appeared beside Madara Uchiha again.
Uchiha Obito immediately used Kamui to pull the distorted spatial fluctuation towards him.
Before long, a black hole the size of a fist appeared.
Just then, a fair hand reached out from inside the black hole.
Then several green beams of light shot out towards the three of Uchiha Obito.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Obito's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stopped channeling eye power and instantly disappeared.
Madara Uchiha, who had already been revived, also seemed to sense something, frowning. While dodging the approaching Chakra by leaping sideways, he used Susanoo without eyes to create a skeleton defense, holding a blue light sword and slashing at the incoming beams of light.
However, the light sword did not touch the green light speed. As if affected by a rule-based power, it turned into Yin Release Chakra and seeped into the green light spheres that had turned into beams of light.
In the next second, the green light spheres exploded like cannonballs, forming a huge mushroom cloud.
On Nagato's side, because a large portion of his Chakra had been drained, he couldn't react in time and didn't have time to use the Preta Path's ability before the beams of light pierced through him.
In an instant, Nagato collapsed to the ground, losing his ability to fight.
Nine beams of light, two gold, three blue, and four purple, each a different color and visible only to Izayoi, flew out from Nagato's body.
At the same time, the explosion engulfed everything.
Tree branches burst from the ground, forming a wooden wall that shielded Nagato from the blast's shockwave.
Black Zetsu, who had used Wood Release, attached himself to Nagato's body. While reaching up to gouge out his eyes, he quickly carried him towards Madara Uchiha.
Rumble...
Without the Chakra of Madara Uchiha and Tobi, control of the forest returned to Izayoi's hands.
The ground trembled violently. Tree branches, thick enough for a dozen people to embrace, burst from the earth, flinging Nagato, with Black Zetsu attached, into the air. Then, wooden spikes shot out.
Just then, the tree branches suddenly stopped writhing, leaving only the incoming wooden spikes.
Black Zetsu, who had landed on a branch, immediately used Wood Release to create a cocoon-like shield, wrapping Nagato inside to block the attacks of the wooden spikes.
A black shadow, merging with the earth and vegetation, fled at high speed.
"Excellent teamwork. If it weren't for Hashirama's Wood Release, those two brats would have almost succeeded."
Madara Uchiha's voice echoed through the forest.
Two trails of bloody tears streamed down his face. A pair of purple, rippling eyes had appeared in Madara Uchiha's eye sockets.
The terrifying Eye Power seemed to awe the entire forest, making the seemingly self-aware tree branches dare not move again.
Having completed the unification of the two extremes and obtained the power of All Creation, the Shinobi World Asura was completely resurrected.
Bubbles of various colors also floated around this Shinobi World Asura.
The most striking bubble was a colorful one.
The Perk within it was also different from other Perks, not just in the color of the text.
The text of the Perk inside this bubble had a flowing rainbow light, as if special effects had been added.
This Perk was none other than—[Kekkei Genkai: Rinnegan (Rainbow)]
An unknown rank, surpassing the red Perks, had finally appeared.
