The Immortal's Eye and the Immortal Body

Uchiha Yoru looked at Tsunade, who stood motionless and unconscious, and shook his head slightly.

"No wonder in the original story, this woman could make Pain lose his cool with just a single sentence..."

He muttered under his breath, lost in thought, "It seems Senju Hashirama's assessment of his own granddaughter was indeed correct."

Just as he prepared to finish Tsunade off, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding--]

[Congratulations to the host for completing the unification of Konoha, obtaining a milestone reward.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Ashura Template, which has been automatically installed.]

Uchiha Yoru's expression faltered for a moment, a strange ripple passing through the depths of his eyes.

Immediately after, a flash of pleasant surprise crossed his gaze. He had originally assumed the system operated on a single thread, but it appeared that was not the case.

The next second--

A vast and boundless surge of chakra, like a raging sea, poured into Uchiha Yoru's body. It was violent and scorching, as if it intended to tear his meridians apart and completely reshape his physical form.

Following that--

A massive amount of chakra, surging like a tempest, flooded into his body; it was wild and searing, as if it were tearing through his meridians to forge his body anew.

It was scorching and warm, yet carried an indescribable sense of heaviness.

Uchiha Yoru clenched his fist tightly, feeling the transformation of his chakra—this power was different from the sharp, cold, and thunderous chakra of Indra. The power before him was heavier, as if it contained the tolerance of the earth itself, yet it was as intense and burning as the midday sun.

"This is... the power of Ashura?"

His pupils contracted sharply as the two distinct types of chakra within him began to collide violently, like clashing thunder, making the very space around him tremble.

Boom!

Deep within his mind, a magnificent figure emerged, his gaze gentle yet filled with an unwavering determination.

Memories rushed in like a tide; Ashura's persistence, kindness, and indomitable spirit flooded his consciousness, scene by scene.

"As long as there is hope in our hearts, the world will eventually change!"

"Even if I must walk this path alone, I will bear the pain of everyone!"

"This world does not need to be ruled by hatred!"

Indra's chakra was cold and arrogant, sharp as a blade, while Ashura's chakra was vast and generous, like a burning sun.

The moment they met, his body became a battlefield for heaven and earth; thunder and flames intertwined, frost and heat collided, and every inch of his muscle and every strand of his bloodline felt as though it were being torn apart by this violent confrontation.

However—just as the chakra was about to spiral completely out of control, a trace of calm suddenly flashed in the depths of his pupils.

"Interesting..." Uchiha Yoru chuckled softly and slowly closed his eyes.

His will traversed the center of the storm, controlling the intersection of these two forces.

Indra and Ashura, born as mortal enemies, now coexisted within his body.

He could feel his body being reconstructed; his meridians became tougher, the speed of his chakra flow surged, and even his soul felt as if it had been cleansed, gradually evolving toward an entirely new form...

"So that's how it is..." He slowly opened his eyes, and a brand-new light quietly bloomed within them.

Then, his pupils transformed into concentric purple ripples—it was none other than:

The Rinnegan!

Uchiha Yoru felt the massive amplification of his ocular power and smiled faintly.

It made sense; after all, his body already possessed the chakra of Indra's Sage Eyes, and with the addition of Ashura's Sage Body, it created an effect where one plus one was greater than two.

He had successfully generated Six Paths Level chakra.

"And because I obtained the source template, the power is even more surging!"

Uchiha Yoru's thoughts stirred as he recalled the memories of Ashura from moments ago.

Unlike the cold and arrogant memories of Indra, Ashura's memories were filled with warmth and tolerance.

"The mental state of not eating beef is countless versions ahead of other ideologies!"

In Uchiha Yoru's eyes, Ashura's so-called method of converting the world with love was simply too fake.

After all, love could not solve every problem; instead, it was often a symbol of weakness.

Rather than enduring and compromising, it was better to emulate Indra—to stand above all with superior power and control everything through force and wisdom.

To him, only the path of the strong was the ultimate destination.

Uchiha Yoru fixed his gaze on Tsunade, pondered for a moment, and waved his hand to let her go.

He jumped back onto the back of the Nine-Tails, which growled lowly beneath his feet.

"First, we head to Kumogakure." Uchiha Yoru whispered, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he looked toward the distant horizon.

Why target the Cloud Ninja first?

Because the Cloud Ninja were the most restless of them all.

In the original story, the Cloud Ninja were always jumping at every opportunity, and now, according to the latest intelligence from within the village, they had already assembled a large number of ninja, preparing to move directly into the borders of the Land of Fire.

Ever since the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was assassinated and Konoha declared war on the entire world, the Daimyo of the other ninja nations have issued orders to unite and attack Konoha.

Every ninja village is sharpening its blades, preparing for a great war.

However, among these villages, the most proactive is undoubtedly the Cloud Ninja.

The Fourth Raikage's intentions coincide perfectly with the Daimyo's orders, so he agreed to the request without hesitation, assembling troops at lightning speed and rapidly entering a state of combat readiness.

In contrast, the attitudes of the other ninja villages appear much more cautious.

The Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, is a deep-thinking and calculating man; having personally witnessed the terrifying power of Uchiha Madara, he harbors a deep-seated fear of the power of Susanoo in his heart.

Although he shouts loudly about joining the attack on Konoha, in reality, his strategy is more about waiting for the Cloud Village to act, observing how the situation changes before making a decision.

The Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Rasa, has always been deeply anxious due to the poverty of his village.

A lack of resources makes it difficult for him to cultivate excellent ninjas, and the Daimyo's funding is always delayed.

Rasa is so poor that he even has to search everywhere for gold dust to exchange for resources.

Upon hearing that the Daimyo is willing to increase funding, he agreed with lightning speed and began to slowly assemble his forces.

Rasa knows very well that with Sunagakure's current strength, they cannot obtain any substantial benefits from Konoha.

Rather than attacking blindly, it is better to first digest this extra funding and observe the actions of the other ninja villages before making a decision.

As for Kirigakure, the situation is even more chaotic.

The Fourth Mizukage has already been controlled by the genjutsu of Uchiha Obito, while Uchiha Obito, affected by the genjutsu cast by Uchiha Yoru after the Night of Clan Extermination, has not appeared since.

The leader of Kirigakure, Yagura, remains in a state of complete control, unable to effectively command the village's actions while continuing to enforce the Bloody Mist Policy, which has infuriated the Daimyo of the Land of Water to the point of directly cutting off Kirigakure's financial support.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Raikage is personally leading his team, preparing to charge toward Konoha with lightning speed, striving to seize the initiative in the war.

He believes that this time, he will surely be able to tear a piece of meat off Konoha!
