Chapter 304: The Grand Revival of Uchiha Madara (Part 2)
"The Infinite Tsukuyomi will naturally be activated by me personally," Uchiha Madara's tone was unquestionable, carrying an absolute majesty. "But before that, there is one more thing that must be completed by you. This is a crucial part of the plan."
Just at this moment, Tobi, who had been standing quietly on the side disguised as Black Zetsu, suddenly moved! He transformed into a mass of viscous, writhing, pitch-black slime and, with the speed of lightning, fiercely wrapped himself around the body of Uchiha Douhuan's clone! The black substance was like a living thing, instantly tightening around his limbs and torso. The powerful binding force even caused the chakra on the clone's body to become disordered!
"Black Zetsu!? What are you doing!?" The clone immediately began to struggle "violently," a look of "shock and anger" on its face, its voice distorted by "shock." "Why!? Why are you betraying me!? Don't we have a common goal!?"
"Betrayal? No, Lord Douhuan..." From within the mass of black slime came a sinister, bone-chilling, treacherous laugh, imitating Black Zetsu's unique tone. "All of this is a necessary sacrifice... for the great Eye of the Moon Plan to be realized. Your contribution will be remembered at the beginning of this new world!"
"Damn it! So from the very beginning... you were using me!? All the promises, all the ideals, were a sham!?" The clone let out a furious roar. A surging blue lightning burst from its body, and the sharp sound of a thousand birds chirping pierced the silence of the Kamui dimension! At the same time, the Sharingan in its eyes automatically appeared, the three tomoe spinning at an unprecedented speed, on the verge of transforming into the Mangekyo form—this was its final resistance in "despair"!
But in the next instant, the Rinnegan in Uchiha Madara's eyes in front of him suddenly snapped open, and a powerful dōjutsu fluctuation instantly spread out! He formed a seal with his hands in a seemingly casual manner—
"Illusionary Technique: Rinne Lock!"
An invisible and intangible, yet mountain-heavy, spiritual impact instantly crossed space and accurately hit the "struggling" Uchiha Douhuan clone!
The clone's movements came to an abrupt halt. The lightning on its body suddenly disappeared as if doused by cold water. The Sharingan in its eyes also quickly faded, becoming empty and lifeless. His entire person stood stiffly in place, as if he had become a lifelike statue. Only the slight rise and fall of his chest proved that this body was still "alive." The anti-genjutsu mechanism within the artificial body, under Uchiha Douhuan's precise control, perfectly simulated the effect of being instantly subdued by a top-tier genjutsu.
"Hmph, as an Uchiha, to be so unskilled in genjutsu... truly laughable," Uchiha Madara sneered as he slowly walked forward after his genjutsu "succeeded," his tone filled with contempt and mockery. "But don't worry, junior. In the beautiful world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, I will be especially gracious and leave a sufficiently beautiful place... for you and your relatives."
As he spoke, he effortlessly took the test tube from the clone's stiff hand. Then, he extended his fingers and, with a rough yet precise movement, directly dug out the "precious" pair of Sharingan from the clone's eye sockets, throwing them on the ground like trash. Immediately after, he opened the test tube, took out the two Rinnegan that emitted a faint purple light and contained the power of life and death of the samsara, and carefully, one on the left and one on the right, placed them into the clone's now empty eye sockets.
After completing all this, he took a step back. Tobi, disguised as Black Zetsu, immediately controlled the clone's body and began to mechanically and woodenly form a complex and ancient seal.
The movements were stiff but accurate.
The clone's lips moved, and it emitted a dry and emotionless voice, like an ancient incantation:
"Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"
Weng—!
The vast chakra in the clone's body was instantly drained and, through the conversion of the Rinnegan, transformed into a majestic life force! The Rinnegan in its eyes erupted with an unprecedentedly strong purple light, like two small purple suns, completely enveloping the Uchiha Madara in his Impure World Reincarnation state!
In the next moment, a miraculous change occurred!
Uchiha Madara's crack-covered reincarnated body began to tremble violently. The dust and debris that made up his body peeled off one after another, and then, under the envelopment of the purple light, reassembled, filled, and transformed! The pale, undead body was gradually replaced by real, vibrant flesh and blood. The skin regained its elasticity and luster, the long black hair became more lustrous, the heart began to beat powerfully, and a surging life force like a tsunami gushed out from his body!
At the same time, the Uchiha Douhuan clone, as the caster, its body shriveled and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its full muscles collapsed, its skin lost moisture and became like dry tree bark, and its thick black hair turned gray and brittle... as if all its life essence had been completely drained at this moment and injected into Uchiha Madara's body.
In no time, the transformation was complete!
Uchiha Madara—officially revived!
He looked down, clenched his fists forcefully, feeling the sense of power from his fingertips and the temperature of the blood rushing through his blood vessels, feeling this young, strong, and full of infinite possibilities, real body! An unprecedented sense of powerful strength filled his limbs and bones, far more real and powerful than in the Impure World Reincarnation state!
"Hahahahaha—Hahahahaha—!!"
Although the plan had gone through several twists and turns, and had even been out of control at one point, Uchiha Madara, who had finally succeeded in reviving, couldn't help but throw his head back and laugh wildly! The laughter echoed in the empty Kamui dimension, filled with endless ambition and the ecstasy of being about to achieve his goal!
And in front of him, Uchiha Douhuan's clone, this artificial body that had cost Orochimaru countless efforts and had perfectly played its key role, its life force completely severed, became like a dried corpse, and fell to the ground with a dull thud. The "Black Zetsu" that had been wrapped around it also timely disintegrated, turning into a puddle of ordinary black liquid, and seeped into the ground and disappeared.
Soon, the temporary Rinnegan in Uchiha Madara's eye sockets, which belonged to the Impure World Reincarnation, also completed their mission and dissipated into flying ash. However, Uchiha Madara did not hesitate in the slightest. He bent down, his movements even carrying a trace of impatience, and from the empty eye sockets of the completely lifeless "Uchiha Douhuan," he took back the pair of real Rinnegan that originally belonged to him.
He carefully and solemnly placed them back into his now incredibly real eye sockets.
The familiar, majestic power sufficient to control life and death instantly returned, perfectly merging with his now living body!
"Hahahahaha—!!!" An even more hearty and unrestrained laughter erupted. "Success! Complete resurrection! Along with this pair of eyes! Next is the final step! This boring real world is about to welcome its end!"
The wild laughter gradually subsided. Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan flashed, and the massive Gedo Mazō, accompanied by a deafening roar and a huge cloud of dust, was summoned by him, standing in this space!
However, just as he was preparing for the next step, feeling the Tailed Beast chakra that should have been active inside the Mazō, the smile on his face suddenly froze and completely stiffened!
Because he clearly sensed that at this moment, inside the Gedo Mazō, although all the Tailed Beasts' chakra existed, it was extremely unstable, flickering on and off, like a candle in the wind, conflicting and pulling at each other, unable to provide complete and stable power at all! And the most crucial point was—they were not complete!
"The Eight-Tails' chakra is not in there!"
Uchiha Madara's voice suddenly became bone-chilling. He suddenly turned his head, and his pair of just-reinstalled Rinnegan eyes burst with a terrifyingly sharp light, locking deadly onto the "Black Zetsu" standing respectfully on the side. A powerful sense of pressure, as if tangible, spread out, making the surrounding air become viscous and heavy.
"Black Zetsu..." Uchiha Madara's voice was low and dangerous, each word as if squeezed from between his teeth. "That's not what you said before. You told me that all the Tailed Beasts' chakra had been collected, and the Gedo Mazō was only waiting for its final revival! Now, this missing, most crucial part, what is your explanation!?"
The body of Tobi, disguised as Black Zetsu, trembled almost imperceptibly. An extremely realistic look of astonishment and confusion immediately appeared on his face, as if he also had no idea about this. "This... this is impossible! Lord Madara! The White Zetsu did indeed witness Nagato fighting fiercely with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki near the Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning and ultimately capturing him! The commotion of that battle was extremely large. Even that mysterious Ōtsutsuki Isshiki appeared to stir up trouble, but in the end, the Eight-Tails' chakra was indeed extracted from that Jinchuriki's body by Nagato and injected into the Gedo Mazō on the spot! This is the news that the White Zetsu under my command repeatedly confirmed!"
His speech was very fast, with a hint of urgency and panic of being wronged. He smoothly threw out the prepared lines, the details of which were so detailed as if it were a true story.
"What exactly happened at that time? Tell me the truth! Don't leave out a single detail!" Uchiha Madara snorted coldly and took a step forward. The majestic chakra from his revived body pressed down on Tobi like a mountain, as if he would be crushed immediately if he had half a false word.
"Yes! Yes!" Tobi was scared into a shiver. He bent his body even lower and replied hastily, his voice even carrying a sob. "According to the report from the White Zetsu lurking at the scene, that battle was extremely fierce. The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, completely transformed into a Tailed Beast and fought with Nagato's Six Paths of Pain until the mountains collapsed and the earth split."
"At the critical moment, that man who called himself Ōtsutsuki Isshiki suddenly appeared. He seemed to also want to snatch the Eight-Tails and had a brief conflict with Nagato... but Nagato, at that time, relying on the power of the Rinnegan, ultimately suppressed the situation. In front of Isshiki, he used the King of Hell to extract the Eight-Tails' chakra and injected it into the mouth of the summoned Gedo Mazō... The entire process, the White Zetsu saw it clearly!"
"Idiot! A complete idiot!" After listening, Madara's face trembled with anger, a violent look flashing in his eyes. "That incompetent Nagato, with the Rinnegan in his possession, was actually fooled by such a crude trick from a mere Tailed Beast! He didn't capture the complete Eight-Tails at all! He only got the substitute bait that the Eight-Tails created by sacrificing a part of its chakra when it escaped by cutting off its tail! The real core chakra of the Eight-Tails was not extracted at all!"
He instantly deduced the truth, his tone filled with extreme contempt and anger for Nagato's incompetence. A perfect plan had actually had a flaw at the last moment because of this kind of low-level mistake!
"The Eight-Tails' Jinchuriki didn't die... and was taken away by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki..." Madara muttered to himself. The light in his Rinnegan flickered as he quickly weighed the situation. "In other words, the complete Eight-Tails' chakra is very likely still in that Jinchuriki's body, or... has fallen into the hands of that so-called 'Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.'"
After a short silence, Uchiha Madara made a decision. The anger on his body slowly subsided, replaced by an even more terrifying, calm killing intent.
"It seems that having slept for too long has made the world forget the respect it should have. Some rats who hide their heads and show their tails dare to disrupt my plan." He slowly raised his head, his gaze as if piercing through the walls of the Kamui dimension and seeing the outside world.
"In that case, then I will personally come out of the mountain. The final Eight-Tails will be captured by me personally! As for that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki who dares to covet my prey... I'd like to see how much he's worth!"
"With Lord Madara personally taking action, it is naturally foolproof! What Eight-Tails, what Ōtsutsuki, in front of you, they are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs!" A fawning look immediately appeared on Tobi's face. He quickly bowed and agreed, his tone extremely exaggerated.
"Give the order!" Uchiha Madara ordered coldly, his voice allowing no doubt. "Have all the White Zetsu move out at full strength to find the tracks of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki! Once any clue is found, report to me immediately!"
"Yes! Lord Madara!" Tobi replied loudly.
After the order was given, Uchiha Madara no longer paid attention to Tobi. He slightly lowered his head, clenched his fists forcefully, and carefully felt the surging power contained in this body that had been completely restored to its peak, and had even become more refined after walking on the edge of death. The blood rushed through his blood vessels like a great river. Every muscle was filled with explosive power. The vast, sea-like chakra circulated on its own in his body, bringing an illusion of being almost omnipotent.
This feeling of truly mastering power was far more intoxicating than the false strength of the Impure World Reincarnation.
"Ōtsutsuki Isshiki..." Uchiha Madara repeated this name in a low voice, the corner of his mouth hooking into a cold and battle-hungry arc. "Calling yourself a god? Then let me see if that laughable power of yours can... barely dance before me!"
As his voice fell, he suddenly threw his head back and let out a wanton and unrestrained wild laugh! The laughter shook the surrounding gray space!
In the next moment, he suddenly raised his arm and aimed at a spot several hundred meters in front of him—where there happened to be two groups of a large number of White Zetsu disguised as ninjas, tirelessly "fighting" each other in a drill. The battle seemed to have entered a white-hot stage, and the sounds of killing and the light effects of simulated ninjutsu rose and fell one after another.
Uchiha Madara didn't even form a seal, just a slight fluctuation of dōjutsu in his Rinnegan.
"Tengai Shinsei!"
RUMBLE—!
Above the gray sky of the Kamui dimension, as if a huge gap had been forcibly torn open by an invisible great force! A massive meteorite with a diameter of over a hundred meters, burning with raging flames and dragging a long trail of black smoke, like a spear of punishment thrown by a god, with a terrifying kinetic energy capable of destroying everything and a deafening roar, crashed straight into the very center of that "battlefield"!
