In Mist Village, the Hidden Mist Ninja who had not gone to the front lines remained to guard the village.
Seeing the behemoth that suddenly appeared several kilometers outside the village, they immediately sounded the village's alarm.
Uchiha Hikaru, sitting on the top of the Mizukage Building, swung her little feet.
The Mangekyō Sharingan pattern appeared in her eyes, clearly seeing the extremely ugly and hideous first form of the Ten Tails several kilometers away.
Beside her, Jigen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and indifferent.
"Six Tails, Seven Tails, two complete Tailed Beasts, more than expected."
"Will it bother you?"
Uchiha Hikaru turned her head to look at the seemingly empty railing beside her.
"No matter how much power there is, if you don't know how to use it, it's just a beast... Want a drink?"
Jigen's expression didn't change at all. When he raised his hand, a glass of blood-red wine suddenly appeared in his hand.
"I don't eat food from strangers."
"Is that so? It seems we haven't built enough trust, but after you gain a long life, we have plenty of time to get to know each other slowly."
"...When are we going over?"
"Don't rush. If Chakra is insufficient, the transformation process will be slower than normal. You just need to let Mist Village make the necessary response."
"Oh."
Uchiha Hikaru waved to the Hidden Mist high-level officials behind her, who were full of fanaticism.
Without any extra words.
The many Hidden Mist Ninja guarding the village, led a large number of White Zetsu, and rushed towards the location of the Ten Tails!
Inside the emergency shelter in the southwest corner of Mist Village.
Genshi listened to the faint huge vibrations and harsh alarms coming from outside, raised his hand and gently patted the head of the little boy beside him, comforting his fearful emotions.
Eleven-year-old Mei Terumi looked speechlessly at the little boy in front of her who was shivering and wiping away tears.
This guy named Utakata was clearly already six years old, but he was still frightened to tears by this little vibration.
Really~
Grandpa Genshi wouldn't ask her to coax this guy later, would he!
"Sir, are we really not going out? There are still many ordinary people in the village who haven't had time to enter the shelter."
Gonbei's face was full of worry.
He hated war, and he also hated those Hidden Mist Ninja who went to extremes, but ordinary people were innocent.
The village was under attack, but they were hiding here.
This...
"The sky will brighten."
Genshi's gaze swept over each figure looking at him, raising his hand to suppress all sound.
He knew from the note sent by an unknown person a day ago.
This time, he guessed right!
That Fifth Mizukage, Uchiha Hikaru, might have his own purposes, but the Mist Village would indeed usher in a dawn that could illuminate the village after this turmoil!
...
Above the Ten Tails' head.
Uchiha Madara felt the instinctive desire in his eyes to integrate the power of the Ten Tails into his body, letting out a sneer.
Because the bloodlines of the Uchiha and Senju were directly connected to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
And the Ōtsutsuki Clan relied on devouring Chakra to enhance themselves.
After activating the Ten Tails to this extent, he was also affected by this desire.
However, having heard Yamanaka Kei talk about the truth of the Ninja World countless times, how could he be dominated and influenced by such a thing!
The fruit of the God Tree had already been eaten by Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Integrating this Ten Tails into his body would only grant him false power that didn't belong to him and could be snatched back by Kaguya Otsutsuki at any time!
God Tree...
He would eventually have his own God Tree!
"Madara~ This Ten Tails looks too ugly! Can't you make it look a little better?"
Hashirama Senju's shout came from the billowing dust stirred up by the Ten Tails.
"Shut up!"
Uchiha Madara's face darkened, knowing that Hashirama Senju was actually worried that he would be tempted by the power of the Ten Tails.
Damn watermelon head!
A Six Tails, a Seven Tails, plus a little Chakra from other Tailed Beasts, was still power that couldn't completely belong to him.
How muddle-headed would he have to be to be tempted by such a thing!
If it weren't for the severely insufficient amount of Chakra within the Ten Tails,
making the transformation too slow,
would he have been standing here like an idiot all this time?
"Change!"
Uchiha Madara uttered in a low voice, forming hand seals, the purple Rinnegan in his eyes flashing.
Forcibly driving the Ten Tails to begin changing again!
Under the power of the Rinnegan, the heavy trunk, like a carapace, gradually separated from the Ten Tails' body.
Shrinking by more than half.
Looking like a walking skeleton, the malnourished-looking second form of the Ten Tails slowly appeared before everyone.
Madara Uchiha continued to accelerate the Ten Tails' transformation without pause.
And in a short moment.
A large number of Hidden Mist Ninja, leading a massive number of White Zetsu, surged towards them like a tide!
"How truly... sneaky."
Yamanaka Kei's eyes emitted a faint white glow as he scanned the distant Mizukage Building with the Byakugan.
He immediately saw Uchiha Hikaru turning his head to speak to someone beside him.
But in the Byakugan's vision.
There was no one beside Uchiha Hikaru!
And even with the Byakugan's utmost focus, he could only see some wispy, thread-like Chakra reactions, even weaker than the lowest-level Clone Technique!
Currently, the distance between him and the Hidden Mist Building was still too great.
Whether it was his own sensory abilities or the Byakugan's capabilities, they couldn't achieve a microscopic level of detail at such a distance.
However, he was certain that Jigen was definitely beside Uchiha Hikaru!
First, Hikaru wasn't the type of person who would actively turn his head to look directly at someone when speaking, as a sign of politeness.
Second, given Hikaru's personality, if there wasn't someone beside him, and they hadn't used the Eight Thousand Spears ability to greet him after he'd been here for so long, he would have taken the initiative to come over!
"I can't detect him from a distance, but since Hikaru keeps looking in that direction, it probably means that the Mangekyō can see him."
Yamanaka Kei stroked his chin with one hand.
In the original story, Sasuke's Rinnegan with tomoe could see Jigen's process of shrinking and enlarging, capturing his traces after he shrunk.
The quality of his spiritual power far exceeded Sage Art Chakra.
The 'Byakugan' and sensory abilities driven by it were definitely no weaker than the Rinnegan with tomoe in close-range observation!
Still, he had to be careful!
Enemies who have shrunk could launch a sneak attack if you weren't careful!
"How truly spectacular."
Onoki looked at the Hidden Mist Ninja and White Zetsu surging out of the Mist Village like a tidal wave, rushing towards them, and sighed softly.
"Hokage, shall we compete?"
The Third Raikage A cracked his knuckles and proactively challenged Tsunade.
Last time, Tsunade's speed was slightly inferior to his.
Facing these small fries, as long as he moved faster, he would definitely kill more than Tsunade!
"Let's make a bet... never mind, I'm giving up gambling today!"
Tsunade cracked her knuckles, originally wanting to take the opportunity to gamble.
But thinking about his luck and the 'Reverse Gambling Saint' fate that Yamanaka Kei mentioned, he suppressed the restless thoughts in his heart.
Now is the time of great war, losing a gamble doesn't matter.
But if he wins...
"Let's fight! You trash!"
Uchiha Izuna drew the ninja sword from his waist, without even looking at Tsunade and the Raikage beside him, and rushed out directly!
Daring to interfere with his brother's affairs, all these guys should die!
"Three, two, one!"
As the Third Raikage's voice fell, his figure, wreathed in lightning, shot out.
Beside him, nine white dragons coiled around Tsunade, arriving first, leaping past the Third Raikage, and smashing a fist into the ground!
Onoki watched the three rushing out.
Turning his head, he looked at Madara Uchiha, who was standing on top of the Ten Tails and trying to speed up its transformation, and Hashirama Senju, who had jumped next to Madara Uchiha.
And Yamanaka Kei, who had gone to the top of the Ten Tails, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, one hand resting on the Ten Tails' head, seemingly sensing something, sighed slightly.
Really.
Why is Kitsuchi so stupid, he can't learn Dust Release after all this time!
He's already this old, and he still has to fight desperately!
Moreover, he didn't know if it was because he was getting old and his bones were weakening, but he had been twisting his waist twice a day on average recently.
If Tsunade wasn't here, he'd probably have to go to the battlefield in a wheelchair!
Complaining inwardly, Onoki resigned himself to fate and activated the Light-Weight Rock Technique, flying towards the oncoming Hidden Mist and White Zetsu.
But intentionally or unintentionally, he always kept himself within a hundred meters of Tsunade.
At this distance, even if he twisted his waist, getting close and letting Tsunade slap him, should make him mostly better!
"Achoo~ Achoo~ Achoo~ Damn! Who's cursing me!"
Yamanaka Kei sneezed three times in a row, and looked up in the direction of Mist Village.
Silently noting Jigen in his heart, he closed his eyes again, released his perception ability, guarding against Jigen shrinking down and launching a sneak attack, while engraving the Ten Tails with space-time ninjutsu inscribed with his spiritual power!
Once the Ten Tails was completely wrapped in space-time ninjutsu.
He began to activate the super-strong space perception of the [Multi-Dimensional Transmigrator], probing the movements of the Pure Land.
Jigen has already jumped out, the God Tree is being activated, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is about to break the seal, and a large number of souls are flying into the Pure Land!
Sage of Six Paths, let me see what you will do!
The shouts of killing never ceased!
Ten minutes later, twenty minutes, half an hour!
The Ten Tails, which had not been disturbed by anyone, finally entered the third stage under the accelerated transformation speed of Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan!
After becoming the third stage, the Ten Tails, having converted all the Chakra within its body, immediately began transforming into the fourth stage under Madara Uchiha's control!
Yamanaka Kei sensed Uchiha Hikaru and 'small grains' rapidly approaching.
A grin appeared on his face as he slammed a palm onto the Ten Tails.
A space-time technique unfolded.
In the next moment, the Ten Tails' body had already appeared in the wilderness a hundred miles away from Mist Village!
Countless massive tree root systems, like giant pythons, grew wildly on the Ten Tails' body.
Breaking through earth and stone, crushing forests, they continuously drilled into the ground.
The tree trunks, extending straight upwards, rapidly intertwined as they grew, forming a God Tree trunk resembling a pillar of heaven!
The dense God Tree root system assaulted Yamanaka Kei and Hashirama Senju, but Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan directly blocked them.
Purple flowers bloomed at the top of the God Tree.
Buzz~
Intense spatial fluctuations emanated from the top of the God Tree.
A pitch-black, distorted spatial hole opened, and Jigen, having returned to his normal size and entered 'Karma: Stage One,' covered in black engraved patterns, leaped out of the hole.
His cold gaze swept over Yamanaka Kei, who had suddenly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transfer the God Tree.
The opponent's illogical behavior directly disrupted his plan!
"Release!"
Jigen aimed his right palm at the flowers on the God Tree!
The flowers bloomed, and the pistil, shaped like a disc, reflected the pattern of a black eye, directly projecting it onto the moon with the power of the God Tree!
Crack
A crisp sound, like glass shattering, came from the pistil.
The black eye pattern on it was violently pierced by a pale, bloodless, slender arm, and then completely disintegrated.
Jigen leaped backward, decisively disappearing into the spatial hole that had not yet closed behind him!
"Isshiki!"
A clear, cold female voice rang out.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki slowly floated up from the pistil!
"You chase that one, this one is ours."
Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, and the Complete Body Susanoo instantly formed outside his body.
"Fighting alongside Madara? Grandson-in-law, what do you think?"
Hashirama Senju also had an eager expression. He bumped his fists together, and Sage Mode patterns already appeared on his face.
"Be careful, although the lab still has your flesh and blood tissue cells, resurrecting you once is quite troublesome."
As Yamanaka Kei's voice trailed off, he flung out the True Several Thousand Hands Daibutsu that Hashirama Senju had created when they went to Sand Village.
"Bastard! Who do you think you're looking down on! I am Madara Uchiha!"
"Although it's concern, grandson-in-law, I am the man known as the God of Shinobi!"
The two men spoke simultaneously.
Chakra flames surged, and the True Several Thousand Hands was activated by Hashirama Senju!
Madara Uchiha's Susanoo quickly covered it!
"Just a reminder, Indra and Asura are considered Kaguya Otsutsuki's grandsons, grandsons fighting, tsk..."
Finishing his sentence, Yamanaka Kei didn't give Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha any chance to retort.
His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
