Liao Wu's hand touched the skin of the White Zetsu Clone, feeling a woody texture.
With a flicker of thought, Liao Wu mobilized the chakra within him to activate the forbidden technique.
Chimera Technique—Bloodline Plunder!
The Chimera Technique was the complete fusion of another's bloodline cells into one's own body, thereby seizing their Kekkei Genkai.
The White Zetsu Clone did not struggle; it was absolutely obedient to Madara's will.
Tobi watched in some horror: "Scary, so scary. Getting absorbed like that, soon he'll be squeezed out like a turd."
Beneath Tobi, Obito stopped struggling, staring in shock at Liao Wu's actions.

To be honest, he felt this was the first time he truly saw Liao Wu.
There was something frighteningly unfamiliar about him.
Black Zetsu, hidden in Madara's shadow, watched silently as Liao Wu absorbed the White Zetsu Clone.
Liao Wu's appearance also showed Black Zetsu an opportunity. Nagato and Obito were too naive; letting them execute the Moon Eye Plan would surely lead to some mishap.
It was better for Madara himself to personally gather the Tailed Beasts.
Both Black Zetsu and Madara believed Liao Wu was someone who couldn't stand obscurity, but they dismissed him. Even if Liao Wu had tricks, he was nothing but a clown.
A fully restored Madara Uchiha was the Number One Under Six Paths.
Even if Hashirama Senju were resurrected, he couldn't stop Madara Uchiha with the Rinnegan.
As time passed, the White Zetsu Clone's body slowly shriveled, as if completely absorbed by Liao Wu.
At the same time, Liao Wu's white hair gradually turned black, his figure began to straighten, and in a blink of an eye, he restored his youth, taking on the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Sasuke.
Obito was stunned. An old man with white hair had turned into a young man in an instant—this—
No wonder Liao Wu had defected; this was truly evil arts!
Madara's Sharingan slowly widened, his breathing quickening. He too wanted to restore his youth like Liao Wu.
When he saw Liao Wu's youthful appearance, Madara's Sharingan dilated to their maximum, and he couldn't help but stand up.
"Izuna!"
Uchiha Izuna's appearance was the standard handsome man of the Uchiha Clan, very similar to Sasuke. No, it should be said that Sasuke was modeled after Izuna's template.
When Madara first saw Sasuke after his resurrection, he noticed the resemblance to Izuna and sincerely invited Sasuke to join him.
Even when Sasuke firmly refused, Madara didn't kill him. If he had burned Sasuke to ashes, there would have been no later remedy by Kabuto.
Nor would there have been the scene of Naruto and Sasuke joining forces against Madara.
Such was Madara's obsession with his younger brother.
Liao Wu was a distant relative of Mikoto, resembling her closely, and his appearance also followed the template of Uchiha Izuna.
So when Madara saw Liao Wu's striking resemblance to Izuna, he was momentarily dazed.
Madara thought Liao Wu might be Izuna's descendant, but then shook his head. Izuna died young and had no offspring.
Madara's younger brothers had all died in the Warring States Period, and their bloodline was essentially extinct.
Liao Wu might be from a distant collateral branch, a grandchild of that line.
But even if Izuna were alive, Madara would harden his heart. Everything was for creating a world without conflict.
In the world of the Moon Eye Plan, Madara's brothers wouldn't have to go to the battlefield, and tragedy would never happen again.
After devouring the White Zetsu Cells, Liao Wu felt a surging vitality rushing through his limbs and bones. Every inch of his skin trembled as it absorbed the new power.
His chakra had now reached the level of a Jonin. No, it surpassed an ordinary Jonin.
And because of the White Zetsu Cells, Liao Wu had gained the abilities of a White Zetsu.
The special abilities of a White Zetsu were numerous.
Perfect disguise, chakra absorption, environmental fusion, Mayfly Technique, Root Concealment Technique, Spore Clone...
He could even use Wood Style.
Now, Liao Wu was a White Zetsu not controlled by the Main Body.
Madara could barely contain his excitement. Leaning on his cane, he stood up: "Good, very good. Liao Wu, hurry and use your technique to restore my youth."
"I'll take you back to the Leaf Village. When we do, everyone in the Leaf will be yours to command. I can even make you the Daimyo of the Land of Fire."
"Really?"
Liao Wu showed a look of surprise.
Madara nodded: "I, Madara Uchiha, have never lied in my life."
"Good, Ancestor. I love Tsunade the most. When we take the Leaf, Tsunade must be mine."
Liao Wu appeared delighted on the surface, but inwardly he understood the elderly best. They didn't tell big lies, just liked to tell small ones.
"Good, good, good. She's yours. Even the Hokage's wife can be given to you."
"Biwako! This is so Dai Faction, she belongs to the Ancestor!"
Madara had no interest in women, but now, to appease Liao Wu, he agreed without a second thought: "Good good good, she's mine, mine."
Obito wanted to join in too, saying Rin was his, but he was ashamed to be grouped with these two scum of the Uchiha.
"Come on, Liao Wu, hurry up and restore my youth."
"Alright!"
Liao Wu walked over slowly, then suddenly stared in shock at Madara's back: "Lord Hashirama, what are you doing here?"
Madara was puzzled, but when he turned around, he saw nothing—damn, he'd been tricked.
"Haha... Old Undying, I'm off now, you have fun by yourself!"
Liao Wu transformed into a White Zetsu and instantly activated the Mayfly Technique, burrowing deep into the earth.
Obito struggled fiercely: Uncle, take me with you, Uncle!
Tobi pressed down hard on Obito: "Obito, don't even think about escaping, or I'll make you eat shit."
Madara turned back, letting out a wry laugh: "Slippery Kid!"
Black Zetsu was puzzled—Liao Wu's intel never mentioned he could use Earth Release, and that Earth Release just now was so fast, clearly the White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique.
This guy... could it be that absorbing others' lives also absorbed their abilities?
If so, he was barely passable, with some use value.
But, kid, when did you get the illusion that Madara hadn't used an Illusion Technique?
Liao Wu swam deep underground for a long time; the White Zetsu mode meant he didn't need to absorb oxygen, so he didn't have to surface for air.
He fled desperately, recklessly.
It wasn't that Liao Wu didn't want to defect to Madara Uchiha—it was that Madara Uchiha was too dangerous, and Liao Wu had no idea if the other party would kill him the moment he restored his youth.
Liao Wu touched his own heart.
He really wanted to rip his heart out and see if Madara's Curse Mark was on it.
But he kept fleeing, kept fleeing, and Liao Wu felt like he was just circling the same spot, until a dull blow struck the back of his head.
Before he passed out, he cursed in his mind: Damn it, you don't block my ascension, but you block my earth escape?
"Ancestor, I was just joking earlier—you know, when I get young, I like to mess around. Did you laugh just now?"
Liao Wu clung to Madara's leg, begging for mercy, while the White Zetsu stood beside Madara like a loyal servant waiting.
Liao Wu had been caught in Madara's Illusion Technique, circling underground, and when the White Zetsu returned, he found a White Zetsu Clone with its own consciousness and wondered if Lord Madara had made a new one.
After a closer look, he realized it was Liao Wu, knocked him out with a blow, and brought him up.
Madara had to admit he was truly old, to be fooled by such a petty trick from Liao Wu.
He ignored Liao Wu and looked at the White Zetsu beside him.
The White Zetsu said: "Lord, Orochimaru seems to have discovered my Spore Fragment!"
Having just witnessed Liao Wu's Forbidden Technique, Madara no longer feared being discovered by outside ninja.
"No matter, just a Poisonous Snake. Once I return to my peak, the Leaf Village is nothing but a bunch of Clowns."
Madara then stroked Liao Wu's hair: "Liao Wu, don't waste time. Hurry up and restore my youth!"
"I imagine all these years, because of your Uchiha's Identity, you couldn't be with Lord Hashirama's Granddaughter. Don't you want revenge on the Leaf Village?"
Liao Wu quickly nodded: "I do, I dream of it."
Madara said: "If you do, then help me!"
"That's right, keep stalling, and Lord Madara will lock you in the toilet like shit."
Tobi shouted from the side.
Liao Wu opened his mouth and lied: "Ancestor, it's not that I don't want to, but my Forbidden Technique has a cooldown. I can't restore you right now!"
"Cooldown?"
Madara was puzzled.
Liao Wu nodded: "Yeah, this technique is too perfect—so perfect that you only need to take someone else's life to get a second one. Ancestor, do you think a technique like that has no flaws?"
Madara nodded. Every technique had flaws; there was no perfect technique in the Ninja World.
"Then how long is the cooldown? I've waited all these years, I can wait a bit longer!"
Liao Wu tested the waters: "Thirty years!"
"ಠ_ಠ."
Madara just stared silently at Liao Wu. Everyone in the base stared at Liao Wu, as if the air itself had frozen.
Even Obito thought Liao Wu was lying.
Liao Wu gave an awkward smile: "Just kidding—I saw the atmosphere was too tense and wanted to lighten it up. Actually, it's not years, it's days. Ancestor, you can wait a month, right?"
Liao Wu's Technique had no cooldown—was the cost of one human life per use a flaw?
For a Strong Person who treated human lives as nothing, it was indeed a perfect technique, flawless.
But people weren't chives; cut one batch and another would grow back.
A life for a life—that was the equivalent exchange.
Madara's eyes slowly turned blood-red: "But I can't wait even a single second longer."
Illusion Technique!
Time to ditch the ball! This guy's trying to control me!
