The Role of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path

After a long silence, Mabui asked, "Killer B, should we move?"

Killer B understood what Mabui meant. They sent Samui and the others away from Turtle Island because if Samui and the others were captured, it could expose the location of Turtle Island.

Turtle Island has remained stationary for several days while awaiting the return of Samui and the others, a situation that poses an immense danger to those who hold the hopes for the revival of the Cloud ninja.

Once the Iwa ninja learn the exact location of Turtle Island, the Cloud ninja's small boat carrying their hopes will immediately sink.

Killer B knew this, so he didn't even set up Defense Barrier on Turtle Island, but only created a barrier to block perception.

Killer B a moment, then said, "Let's wait a little longer. If they haven't returned by then, we'll move to another location."

The two fell silent, gazing quietly at the horizon where the sea met the sky.

After a long while, Killer B suddenly changed his expression and said, "They're back."

Mabui's eyes lit up, and she said, "Really?"

She strained to see into the distance, but her eyesight was poor, and it took her quite a while to see several small black dots magnifying.

After a long while, Samui, Karui, and Omoi finally set foot on Turtle Island.

Killer B first instructed Turtle Island to evacuate immediately, and then asked the three, "Has something happened in the Land of Lightning?"

Samui said, "Yes, most of our people scattered throughout the Land of Lightning have been wiped out."

"We finally managed to gather over twenty elites, but they were all wiped out by the Tsuchikage's disciples a few days ago."

"The ones who made the move were probably Uzumaki Riori, along with the Ice Release ninja Yuki Haku and that ninja from the Kamizuru Clan."

"There is no longer any large-scale resistance force within the Land of Lightning."

Killer B sighed and said, "Uzumaki Riori, Yuki Haku, Kamizuru Tsuruhime, the Tsuchikage is really amazing."

Samui and the other two felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this. Although they were also of the younger generation, they were still far inferior to the disciples of the Tsuchikage.

Not to mention comparing them to Kage Level like Hayate, even compared to the three Killer B mentioned Sokai, they still have some way to go.

Samui changed the subject, saying, "However, we encountered Konoha ninja. They told me that Konoha has taken in over a hundred of our companions, and they are now all within the Land of Fire."

Killer B quickly asked, "Who are these hundreds of people? What is their strength?"

Mabui quickly cast a concerned glance his way.

Samui then recounted the information the Konoha ninja had given him.

After saying that, he took out a scroll and said, "This scroll was given to us by the Hokage."

Killer B took it and looked at it, then said with some surprise, "Impure World Reincarnation?"

Samui nodded and said, "When the Konoha ninja relayed their Hokage's message, they said that even the three of us combined are no match for the Iwa ninja."

"To contend with the Iwa ninja, we must rely on the power of our predecessors; the Impure World Reincarnation is our last hope."

"The Mist ninja Village has also obtained the training method for the Impure World Reincarnation."

Killer B sighed, holding the scroll, and remained silent for a moment.

After a long silence, he finally said, "Samui, you will be the one to learn the Impure World Reincarnation."

"However, the Impure World Reincarnation requires living people as sacrifices, so it cannot be practiced on Turtle Island. Rest for a few days, and then return to the mainland."

Samui nodded.

The Land of Earth.

After finishing all the miscellaneous tasks, Yichen left the village with Izumi Uchiha and Sokai.

Izumi Uchiha activated her Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, carefully supporting a huge box, as if afraid it would fall off the Porcelain Platform.

Sokai glanced at the box, then Yichen said, "Teacher Yichen, where are we going? Why are we carrying Giant Sharingan?"

Yichen stopped keeping him in suspense and said, "We're going to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. It contains a large number of First Hokage's Cells."

"We can use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to help you awaken the Eternal Eye."

Sokai's eyes lit up, and he said, "The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path? Is it from A-Tu's side?"

Yichen nodded and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen A-Tu. I wonder if he's been exposed yet."

Izumi Uchiha asked, "Lord Tsuchikage, is there First Hokage's Cells in the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?"

Yichen said, "That's right, I suspect that Madara Uchiha used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path as a vessel to cultivate the First Hokage's Cells."

"Then they used the First Hokage's Cells from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to cultivate White Zetsu clone."

"The few First Hokage's Cells we obtained from the Kamui Space were probably just a small fraction of what he had left over."

"When I, along with the Third Hokage, Han, Roshi, first raided the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, we killed a large number of White Zetsu clone."

"Although I didn't manage to wipe out all the White Zetsu clone that time, very few of them escaped."

"Yet, all these years later, there are still so many White Zetsu clone stirring up trouble in the Ninja World."

"These new White Zetsu clone must be newly cultivated by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."

"The White Zetsu clone possess the characteristics of the First Hokage's Cells, so the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path must contain a massive amount of the First Hokage's Cells."

"I just wonder if Orochimaru has ever studied the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; he's always been interested in these strange things."

Izumi Uchiha, but when he heard Yichen mention the White Zetsu clone causing trouble in the Ninja World, he gave Yichen a strange look.

As they spoke, the three flew over the underground base where the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was located.

Yichen using Mind's Eye to sense the area, and sure enough, there were still many White Zetsu clone underground.

This time, Yichen didn't call for A-Tu. Instead, he landed directly on the ground, formed hand Hand Seals, and used a wide-range Earth Release is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels) to separate the soil layer above the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from both sides.

Yichen's sudden attack startled the White Zetsu clone in the base.

They all burrowed underground at top speed.

The vast majority of the White Zetsu clone did not linger; they burrowed into the ground and fled at high speed.

To the White Zetsu clone, Yichen was the most unfriendly ninja to them.

Over the years, too many White Zetsu clone have been captured by Yichen and used for limb transplants.

Only one White Zetsu clone remained.

Yichen flew into the underground base from the air and then asked the White Zetsu clone, "Are you A-Tu?"

A-Tu nodded. He was somewhat excited to see Yichen, but he didn't show it.

He feigned fear, half his body plunging into the ground, and cautiously asked, "Tsuchikage, what are you going to do?"

Yichen laughed and said, "Go back and tell your master that Demonic Statue of the Outer Path for a few days."

"No one is allowed to come near here for the next few days, or I'll capture you and use you for experiments."

After saying that, Yichen reached out as if to attack A-Tu.

A-Tu cooperated perfectly and quickly shrunk underground.

After A-Tu left, Yichen carefully examined the surroundings with his using Mind's Eye.

Apart from the White Zetsu clone hanging on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path that had not yet been fully developed, there was nothing left in this underground base.

"It seems Orochimaru has never been here, or at least never conducted experiments here," Yichen thought to himself.

Orochimaru was indeed somewhat interested in the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, but since the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was located within the Land of Earth, Orochimaru was the only place Iwagakure didn't want to provoke.

Therefore, Orochimaru dared not venture deep into the Land of Earth.

If Yichen didn't know about this base, Orochimaru might have considered building a laboratory here.

However, Yichen knew this place better than Orochimaru, which is why Orochimaru had never been here.

Another reason is that Orochimaru's attention was mainly focused on the Byakugan, so research on the First Hokage's Cells and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was not essential.

Yichen first packed up all the White Zetsu clone clones before calling Izumi Uchiha and Sokai to come down.

Izumi Uchiha opened the box containing the Giant Sharingan and placed it on top of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

However, neither Izumi Uchiha nor Sokai knew how to absorb the energy from the First Hokage's Cells Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. They both looked at Yichen.

Yichen smiled slightly, formed a hand Hand Seals, and then slapped the ground. Well, the three of Yichen were now standing on top of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, so Yichen slapped the head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

As soon as Yichen's hand landed, a coffin immediately emerged from the ground.

Sokai instinctively shouted, "Impure World Reincarnation?"

Yichen nodded and said, "That's right, our Iwagakure has already mastered the Impure World Reincarnation."

"However, the village's current mastery of the Impure World Reincarnation technique is not comprehensive; it can only be said to be barely usable!"

Sokai asked curiously, "Teacher Yichen, who's inside?"

Yichen rolled his eyes and retorted, "What do you think?"

Sokai scratched his head, looking awkwardly at Izumi Uchiha.

Izumi Uchiha and said, "It's Obito Uchiha!"

Yichen laughed and said, "Quan Luo is so smart. Sokai should learn from your wife."

Sokai, he chuckled foolishly, while Izumi Uchiha blushed.

Sure enough, the coffin lid opened the next moment, Obito Uchiha stepped out.

He looked around somewhat blankly at first, but when he saw Yichen, Obito Uchiha suddenly shouted excitedly, "Tsuchikage, it's you?!"

Yichen rolled his Byakugan and said, "He's a dead man, why are you getting so worked up!"

Obito Uchiha. He instinctively tried to resist, but it was no use; his body was now completely under Yichen's control.

Yichen continued, "Stop fooling around. I'm asking you, do you choose to cooperate with me willingly, or do you want me to erase your consciousness and manipulate your actions?"

Obito Uchiha, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll do it myself."

Yichen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good. As a reward, I can answer one question about what happened after your death."

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth and thought for a moment before saying, "Before that, you have to tell me how I died!"

Yichen was taken aback, scratched his head, and said, "Xian'er, your question is really putting me in a difficult position!"

"Didn't you think about this question when you went to the Pure Land?"

Obito Uchiha.

Yichen said, "Quan Luo can absorb eye power. Your other Sharingan had their eye power completely drained, so Izanagi useless."

"As for your Kamui, I'm sorry, but Quan Luo was absorbing the power of your Mangekyō Sharingan at the time, so you probably couldn't use it."

Obito Uchiha glared venomously at Yichen for a while, then changed the subject, asking, "How is the Uchiha Clan?"

Looking at the Mangekyō Sharingan in Obito Uchiha's eye socket, Yichen thought to himself, "The Impure World Reincarnation is truly amazing."

It can even recreate Sharingan of the Mangekyō Sharingan level.

Furthermore, judging from Fugaku Uchiha, who was Impure World Reincarnation by Orochimaru using Orochimaru, the power of his eyes in Reanimated Body is inexhaustible.

Yichen pulled himself together and feigned surprise, saying, "Eh? Why would you ask that?"

"You witnessed the Uchiha Clan Annihilated! And you even played a part in Uchiha Clan Massacre. When have you ever cared about your clan?"

Enraged, Obito Uchiha roared, "What business is it of my business why I'm asking this? Didn't you steal some Uchiha children?"

"I want to know how the Uchiha Clan is doing in Iwagakure now."

Yichen pointed to Izumi Uchiha and Sokai and said, "Apart from those two, the other Uchiha are still young."

"The Uchiha Clan will disperse and integrate into Iwagakure in the future, but there will still be a clan leader, namely Sokai."

"By the way, I fused the Sharingan you left in the Kamui Space into a Giant Sharingan."

Obito Uchiha followed Yichen's gaze and looked to the other side.

He didn't care about Izumi Uchiha and Sokai. Although he had been defeated by Izumi Uchiha, he still looked down on the two of them.

But when he saw that Giant Sharingan, his gaze became somewhat dazed.

The patterns on the Rinnegan, with their beautiful Tomoe shapes, Obito Uchiha!

Yichen continued, "In a moment, I need you to use the Giant Sharingan to absorb the First Hokage's Cells Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."

It took Obito Uchiha a long while to recover from his shock!

He stammered, "The Sharingan can be fused?"

Yichen said in a tone of utter disbelief, "What's so strange about that? The Byakugan can be fused, so why can't the Sharingan?"

Obito Uchiha's face darkened. "Can the Byakugan be fused? He doesn't even know that! Even Madara Uchiha never mentioned it to him."

How long have I been dead? Why do I feel like I'm out of touch with the times?

Yichen then said, "Xian'er, is that really all you're asking? Aren't you going to ask anything else, like how your good buddy Kakashi is doing now?"

Obito Uchiha shifted, but he was also somewhat embarrassed and angry. In the end, he just snorted coldly and remained silent.

Seeing this, Yichen deliberately said, "Fine, since you don't want to know, then I won't tell you."

Obito Uchiha:...

Yichen pointed to the Giant Sharingan, signaling him to hurry up and get to work.

Obito Uchiha, took a deep breath, and still Hand Seals to communicate with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Then Yichen and the other two saw a tubular tentacle extend from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and connect to the Giant Sharingan.

Upon seeing Izumi Uchiha immediately manipulated her Giant Sharingan to begin absorbing the First Hokage's Cells Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Obito Uchiha was quite cooperative, asking, "Does this Giant Sharingan have a name?"

"It absorbs First Hokage's Cells so quickly!"

Since I've got nothing else to do, chatting with Obito Uchiha might be a good idea.

Yichen said, "This eye is called the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan."

"With it, and combined with the First Hokage's Cells, the eyes of your Uchiha can evolve."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha subconsciously looked at Sokai and Izumi Uchiha.

When he saw the pattern in Izumi Uchiha's eyes, he was immediately shocked and exclaimed, "The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?! How is that possible!"

Obito Uchiha had a detailed understanding of Izumi Uchiha's situation. While he couldn't obtain some confidential information, he could easily find out whether Izumi Uchiha had any siblings.

As an only child, Izumi Uchiha should theoretically have no chance of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Could this Giant Sharingan really cause eyes to evolve?

Yichen said, "That's right. How about it? The Uchiha Clan Iwagakure doing better in Konoha than in Konoha, isn't they?"

Obito Uchiha silent for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Tsuchikage, how did you Sharingan?"

Yichen said very naturally, "It's very simple, just put all the eyes together."

Obito Uchiha dumbfounded. Just putting them together would work? Putting them together would fuse them into Giant Sharingan? And after fusing into Giant Sharingan, he could awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?

So what exactly did I miss?

Izumi Uchiha and Sokai, who were standing nearby, almost laughed as they listened to Yichen.

What Yichen said wasn't a lie; fusing Giant Sharingan does require putting the Sharingan together, but that's just the simplest step.

Yichen deliberately omitted all other crucial steps.

Unfortunately, Xian'er wasn't smart enough to notice their expressions.

As Obito Uchiha said, the absorption speed of Giant Sharingan is extremely fast.

Yichen watched quietly as the aura of the Giant Sharingan grew stronger and stronger.

After a long while, Obito Uchiha suddenly said, "The speed has slowed down."

Yichen thought for a moment, then asked Izumi Uchiha, "How did it go?"

Izumi Uchiha sensed it for a moment and replied, "The Giant Sharingan is almost saturated."

Yichen nodded, then said to Obito Uchiha, "Alright, you're done here. I'm dismissing you. Is there anything else you want to say?"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Obito Uchiha finally stammered, "How is Kakashi?"

Yichen smiled and said, "As I said before, you only have one chance to ask a question. We can discuss this question next time I need your help."

Obito Uchiha: "You..."

Before Obito Uchiha could finish his curse, Yichen quickly Hand Seals and dispelled the Impure World Reincarnation.

However, when Yichen dispelled the Impure World Reincarnation, Obito Uchiha's soul did not Return to Pure Land.

Instead, at Yichen's behest, Izumi Uchiha put her inside a Shinigami Mask.

Originally, this Shinigami Mask only contained the soul of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. Later, Yichen also transferred the soul of Fugaku Uchiha into it.

Now they have another companion.

"Hahahaha!" After Obito Uchiha, Sokai help but burst into laughter.

Izumi Uchiha and Yichen exchanged a glance, both agreeing that Sokai and Obito Uchiha were about the same in terms of intelligence.

Izumi Uchiha thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Tsuchikage, did you put Obito Uchiha's soul into the Shinigami Mask because you were afraid that someone would use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon him and expose our secret?"

Yichen nodded and said, "That's right, the Giant Sharingan is the village's secret weapon, so it's only right to prepare more for secrecy."

Izumi Uchiha hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then why not erase his consciousness from the beginning?"

Yichen laughed and said, "There's nothing we can do. The Impure World Reincarnation that Katsuya developed is not yet mature. We can only summon Obito Uchiha, but we can't erase his consciousness."

Izumi Uchiha stunned. Her eyes widened as she said, "So, you were lying to him before!"

Yichen replied matter-of-factly, "Otherwise what? Do you really think I want to chat with him?"

"If it weren't for the fact that Xian'er has intellectual disabilities and is easily fooled, we would have to wait for Katsuya Impure World Reincarnation to have further research results."

Izumi Uchiha:...

She silently mourned for Obito Uchiha for a few seconds, then subconsciously looked at Sokai.

Sokai saw Izumi Uchiha, he immediately grinned foolishly at her.

Izumi Uchiha:...

Yichen said, "Alright, now that the Giant Sharingan has absorbed enough of the First Hokage's Cells, let's go back to the village."

Sokai Jie nodded, very excited. He could finally try to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Before setting off, Yichen glanced at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path one last time. He wondered how many First Hokage's Cells were still inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path Yichen, and felt it was a bit of a waste to leave them unused.

Moreover, I can now Impure World Reincarnation Obito Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Before Madara Uchiha's resurrection, Obito Uchiha should have been the first in line to use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Obito Uchiha's authority was directly granted by Madara Uchiha, and was no less than that of Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan.

How about we have Obito summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to the village?

After thinking it over, Yichen decided to give up. Doing so would pose too great a risk. If Madara Uchiha were to be resurrected and able to remotely control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, then he would be essentially letting a wolf into his house.

However, Yichen was still somewhat unwilling to leave it there.

"Teacher Yichen?" Sokai called out to Yichen from the Porcelain Platform.

Yichen shook his head, stepped onto the Porcelain Platform, and quickly left.

Half a day later, A-Tu returned to the place. After confirming that Yichen had left, he immediately notified the other White Zetsu clone.

Black Zetsu received the news soon after, but it didn't dare to come and check in person. Black Zetsu was now completely terrified, always feeling that the Sage of Six Paths was watching it from behind.

According to the White Zetsu clone, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is still in the same place, but the unfinished White Zetsu clone clones hanging on it are gone, and Black Zetsu has not made any rash moves.

Upon returning to the village, Sokai eagerly dragged Yichen to the secret room.

As usual, Yichen used the Spirit Transformation Jutsu to enter Sokai's body, and Sokai, just like Izumi Uchiha last time, reached out and placed his hand on the Giant Sharingan, beginning to channel Chakra into it.

Perhaps the compatibility between Sokai and the Giant Sharingan is slightly lower.

Perhaps the Giant Sharingan changed after absorbing the First Hokage's Cells, making communication more difficult.

Therefore, the resonance process between Sokai and the Giant Sharingan is slower than that of Izumi Uchiha.

But he eventually succeeded in Sokai, and he also experienced his first fetal movement.

However, unlike Izumi Uchiha, Hayakawa's physical abilities improved far more significantly when Sokai awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan Izumi Uchiha.

Yichen felt this most deeply; when he was in the Sokai chamber, he felt a warm and comfortable sensation throughout his body.

Yichen also reaped considerable benefits; his soul, which had expanded after absorbing the two Death God, became even more refined.

I feel like I can absorb the Death God again!
