Chapter 170: Hunt Madara
23 JULY KONOHA YEAR 42
After Minato and Kushina got married, Raiken found himself quietly wondering about something.
He wondered, "What would happen to the next inheritors of Indra and Asura chakra?"
He had pieced together the original story to figure out how the cycle worked. When Hagoromo was on his deathbed, Indra visited him one last time.
Indra didn't really want to say goodbye to his father. What he wanted was to declare what he planned to do after his father's death.
"Father, you chose my little brother to inherit the ninshu, so I will destroy everything you built. Even after I am gone, I will pass my chakra to my descendants and through them I will enforce my will upon this world," said Indra.
That was the main point of what Indra said. His grudge didn't end, it only grew stronger after he lost to Asura.
Hagoromo could only look helplessly at his son Indra; after his last words, He decided to hide in the astral world after his body almost failed, leaving his body powerless as he watched his sons fight. For 1000 years, the fight didn't stop but intensified to another level.
When Asura learned what his brother intended, he made his own choice. He let his chakra continue through his bloodline, not out of hatred, but to stop his brother from destroying the world.
The cycle continued for centuries. Indra's chakra passed from one descendant to the next, each one carrying a will they hadn't chosen and couldn't fully understand. They were drawn into conflict with the Asura line, like two opposing currents clashing without knowing why.
But the will inside that chakra was getting weaker. Like anything passed down through many generations, it started to fade. The brainwashing effect, if you could call it that, had already weakened a lot by the time Madara and Hashirama were born.
Maybe because Madara had Yin Chakra and Hashirama had Yang Chakra, they still carried the mindset of the previous users of Indra and Asura Chakra.
Raiken didn't fully understand how it worked. He didn't know how Indra and Asura managed to put their intentions so deeply into chakra that it could affect people born centuries later. It was a technique beyond anything known in the ninja world, and maybe it would never be fully explained.
Maybe he could also embed his chakra the way they did using the system, but he didn't plan to do that. He could get something better, like the Otsutsuki bloodline.
He had maybe 5% Otsutsuki bloodline left in his body. The Otsutsuki are an alien species with very long lifespans. A thousand years feels like only ten to them, and they can live a long time without aging. But when their time comes, they die like everyone else.

RAIKEN BRILLIANT SELFISH IDEA
"Hey chat," said Raiken, glancing toward the livestream interface that hovered at the edge of his vision.
Things had changed considerably since the early days of his livestreaming. He had reached level ten, the maximum level available to a creator on the platform, and the audience that had once been a handful of curious viewers had grown into his fanbase, and they had become larger and considerably more opinionated.
At this level, he had access to features that lower-ranked creators could not touch, and the donation numbers that came in during his streams had long since passed the point where he bothered tracking them individually.
He talked with the chat more freely now than before. Sometimes, he pulled up the interface during quiet moments just to think out loud, like someone chatting with a close friend over tea.
"What should we do now? It has been 5 years, and Madara still hasn't shown himself to the public," complained Raiken.
[Audience A Message: Host, why are you waiting for him to come out? Just go to wherever he is hiding and drag him out yourself]
"That is too boring," replied Raiken without any hesitation or shame. "My body is at a level now where I genuinely need a proper challenge. I am not going to waste that on something one-sided. That would dishonor the power I have built."
[Audience B Message: Your power comes from our donation, so you really should do it in an honorable way]
[Audience A Message: Someone please come and smack this man on the head]
[Audience C Message: I actually have a brilliant idea. What if you just buy something from the livestream mall that restores Madara to his absolute peak condition? Full strength, full chakra, and full stamina, everything money could buy from the mall. Then you fight him one-on-one with no excuses on either side]
Everyone suddenly went quiet, and even Raiken blinked a few times. The idea was so good that now he was itching to fight a new, powerful enemy.
So by doing this, he can fight Madara fair and square. The other Uchiha Clan had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and had Wood Style, which would make it difficult for Madara to defeat them.
So bringing Madara back to full strength wasn't completely selfish.
It was It was mostly selfish on his part, but not completely. The Uchiha now had a close relationship with them, and their eyes had Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Kamui.ore Raiken thought about it the more he liked it.
'This is honestly a good idea,' he thought, already opening the livestream mall interface in his mind to see what was available. 'Selfish, yes, he's selfish and definitely thinking about excitement, but it's a very good idea because Madara is still a problem for this world.'
Raiken looked through the list of forbidden Jutsu and found many options. After more than half an hour, he had added all the ones he was interested in to his cart.
"Chat, is this really the right idea?" Raiken asked one last time.
[Audience A: Do it! We really wanna see peak Madara]
Raiken could only sigh as he read the comment.
