Before Uchiha Madara entered the dungeon, the leader of Takigakure, Shibuki, had already arrived.
He looked at Fuu, who was still just a child, and made a difficult decision.
"Sorry, Fuu. This is your duty as a Jinchūriki."
As Madara stepped into the dungeon, Shibuki suddenly pressed her palm against Fuu's stomach.
The dark-skinned girl blinked, confused, not knowing what was happening.
A moment later, a terrifying aura filled the dungeon.
Chakra from the tailed beast exploded out of Fuu's body, shaking the entire underground chamber.
The moment the seal broke, Fuu's weak consciousness was swallowed by the beast within her.
Seven large, wing-like tails sprouted from her back.
"Tch… using a Jinchūriki as a tool again?" Madara muttered, his face twisting with disgust.
Shibuki looked at the transformed Fuu, then at Madara, and laughed.
"Let's see you fight a tailed beast. Tear each other apart like animals!"
In his eyes, no matter how strong the intruder was, there was no way he could defeat the Seven Tails.
The seven tails behind Fuu lashed out, sending a violent gust of wind toward Madara like a tornado.
But Madara remained calm.
To Madara, the creature in front of him didn't seem like a tailed beast, it looked more like a bug.
The towering Susanoo raised its glowing blade and brought it down, slicing through the violent wind with ease.
Crimson tailed beast chakra wrapped around Fuu, growing larger and more intense.
Long, insect-like legs extended from her body.
At this rate, the Seven Tails would soon break free completely, revealing its full form.
Fuu's consciousness would be lost forever, swallowed by the beast.
Her young body couldn't handle the full power of the Seven Tails.
Even if she were sealed again later, the damage would be permanent.
"They're just using her as a tool," Madara muttered with a sigh.
Suddenly, Susanoo swelled with power.
The face on its chest changed, entering Sage Mode in an instant.
With that, Madara's Susanoo leapt to its fourth form.
Massive Tengu armor wrapped around the already giant figure.
Its enormous body shattered the dungeon walls as it expanded.
A faint blue glow filled the chamber, casting light on Shibuki stunned expression.
"What... what kind of terrifying power is this...?"
Under Madara's control, Susanoo stretched out its arms and grabbed the growing Fuu.
It looked like a giant gently holding a kitten, effortless and calm.
The Seven Tails thrashed wildly, letting out sharp screeches.
But Madara remained unmoved.
Left with no choice, the beast opened its mouth and sprayed a thick cloud of glowing phosphorous powder.
The broken dungeon was instantly engulfed.
This powder could hide its presence and block chakra detection from others.
Unfortunately for it, none of that worked on Madara.
The powder couldn't pass through Susanoo's defense, and chakra masking was useless against Madara's Observation Haki.
Amid the golden smoke, a flash of red light appeared
A Three Tomoe Sharingan lit up right in front of the beast's eyes.
With a sudden burst of powerful eye force, Madara's Sharingan struck deep into the Seven Tails' mind.
In just one second, the raging beast went silent.
Its wild chakra quickly faded, retreating back into Fuu's body.
If it weren't for the shattered walls and the towering blue Susanoo in full Daitengu armor,
it would've seemed like nothing had happened.
Madara calmly swung his glowing blade, scattering the last of the phosphorous cloud.
Shibuki, the leader of Takigakure, looked pale.
Was this a joke?
That was a tailed beast, yet it was defeated in seconds after just one clash?
Uchiha Madara, or rather Simu, had no interest in wasting time with these people.
With a single swing of his sword, he sent Shibuki fleeing, completely powerless to resist.
As Shibuki tried to run, his eyes suddenly changed. Three Tomoe Sharingan appeared in his pupils.
With Madara's eye techniques, controlling the leader of a small village like this was effortless.
"Where is the Hero Water?"
That was the second reason Madara had come to Takigakure
To find the legendary Hero Water that could multiply a ninja's chakra tenfold.
As the village leader, Shibuki knew the secret.
Under the control of the Sharingan, he quickly led Madara to the sacred tree deep in the village.
This ancient tree produces a small amount of Hero Water only once every hundred years.
And now, that precious water belonged to Uchiha Madara.
After getting what he came for, Madara didn't hesitate
He gave Shibuki a swift and painless death
Right after, Simu took the Seven Tails' Jinchūriki, Fuu, and returned to Konoha.
By the time the rest of Takigakure arrived at the scene, all they found beneath the sacred tree was Shibuki's body.
Chaos broke out again as Takigakure's ninjas began another round of fighting.
"That just leaves Sunagakure's One Tail and the Eight Tails in Kumogakure," Simu muttered, touching his chin.
But he wasn't in a rush.
Sooner or later, the Allied Forces of the Three Great Nations would go to war.
There was no way they'd leave those two tailed beasts untouched.
When the time came, Simu could simply take them all at once.
But what really concerned him wasn't the major powers.
It was Jigen
A living weapon created in the image of an Ōtsutsuki.
If Ōtsutsuki Isshiki returned to full strength, things could get dangerous.
As he was lost in thought, someone walked out of the lab.
"Teacher, it's ready"
Simu's eyes lit up.
"Let's go take a look."
He and Rin entered the research room together.
In front of them stood over a dozen giant vessels.
Simu pressed a green button.
The containers slowly opened one by one, revealing the superweapon hidden inside.
These were massive weapons, each standing seven meters tall.
They wore black uniforms, had curly hair, and a cute bear hat on their heads...
They were Pacifistas, one of the greatest inventions and combat units from the One Piece world's Marines.
Simu had obtained a special item: [Pacifista Blueprint]
A reward from 30% imitation value of Vegapunk's.
By combining it with the theory of bloodline factors, he had finally succeeded in creating them.
"Start," Simu said calmly.
The Pacifista in front of him opened its eyes instantly.
A flash of light flickered across its pupils as it looked directly at Simu.
"Facial recognition is complete. Authority confirmed. Creator: highest authority."
As the creator, Simu naturally held full control.
A small smile appeared at Simu's lips.
These machines would certainly give the Allied Forces of the Three Great Nations a huge surprise on the battlefield.
Even Rin stared in awe at the towering figures.
In her eyes, Simu seemed even greater than before
Not only had he mastered mysterious powers, but now he had command of advanced scientific technology as well.
Now, Simu had broken through the limits of this era and created terrifying weapons of war.
He turned to see Lin staring in a daze and smiled as he gently rubbed her head.
"Come on, let's test what these big guys can really do."
Under the Fourth Hokage's orders, the Forest of Death was quickly sealed off by Anbu.
Shikaku soon arrived to oversee the test.
Minato, Tsunade, and Dan remained on the front lines.
Kakashi and Obito had left the village on missions.
At the moment, the only high-level ninja left in Konoha was Jiraiya, who happened to be in charge of intelligence and was immediately dragged into the test by Simu.
Jiraiya was used to this kind of thing.
Over the past year, Simu had developed wave after wave of new weapons and equipment.
Every time, someone had to test them
Tsunade, Minato, Kakashi, Obito…
Whoever was around got roped in.
"What have you made this time?"
Jiraiya frowned at his proud student.
Ever since the Third Hokage stepped down and became a civilian, Konoha had basically fallen under Simu's full control.
Even the often rebellious Uchiha clan followed his orders without resistance.
After all, their new clan head, Uchiha Fugaku, was one of Simu's strongest supporters.
With him leading, no one in the clan dared to speak against the Hokage.
Simu's control over Konoha had surpassed even that of the Second Hokage—
perhaps even the First Hokage
In response to his teacher's question, Simu just smiled and scratched his head.
"Come out, Pacifistas."
As his words fell, the veil was lifted
Revealing the giant figures beneath.
Most ninjas were of average height, so the seven-meter-tall Pacifistas instantly created a powerful sense of pressure.
Their eyes lit up with a mechanical glow.
"These guys are my opponents?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.
Simu nodded. "Don't take them lightly."
After dealing with many of Simu's scientific ninja tools before,
Jiraiya knew better than to be careless.
He put away any thoughts of holding back and got ready to face the test seriously.
