The Man Who Embodies the Origin of All Things

Uchiha Madara felt that the concept of an incarnation of will was rather unintelligent.

As they continued forward, moving further away from the area of Hokage Rock, the surrounding noise increased.

That's ninjas fighting.

The main forces from several villages were all on the outskirts, but ninjas were skilled at infiltration, and there were always some who slipped through the net.

Moreover, any fish that manages to leak to the back must be a big one.

Naturally, they would also face resistance from the Konoha Ninja.

A large fish suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu.

The big fish was taken aback at first.

Firstly, I didn't expect there to be people shopping in this remote corner.

Secondly, Uchiha Madara's attire is too out of place in the present day, and Black Zetsu is even more out of place; it's a style reminiscent of the primitive era, where he didn't even have underwear, and of course, he didn't need to.

This large fish is an Iwagakure Ninja.

For Iwagakure, the most well-known ninja in Hidden Leaf Village has always been Uchiha Madara.

Unfortunately, few people in this era would recognize him.

Upon seeing Uchiha Madara, this Iwagakure Ninja felt every cell in his body screaming the same thing, "Run, you idiot!"

This person is dangerous!

Danger is the enemy!

The Iwagakure Ninja didn't run away; instead, he drew his Kunai.

Not everyone can completely trust their body's senses; these things can be misleading, so you can only believe half of them.

Black Zetsu stopped in his tracks.

Uchiha Madara didn't. In fact, he was thinking about something else entirely.

This thing is clearly the embodiment of its own will, so how can just some piece of trash stop it?

This shows that Uchiha Obito was really not good. For more than ten years, with so many resources left behind by himself, he was still fighting against Leaf Village, to the point that even his will avatar was ruined.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!" The Iwagakure Ninja felt a little nervous.

"Is Ōnoki from Iwagakure dead?" Uchiha Madara still remembered that chubby little boy.

It feels better than his master's, after all, it has more elasticity.

These words, however, took a toll on the Iwagakure Ninja.

Coincidentally, this Iwagakure Ninja was a die-hard fan of Ōnoki.

There are quite a few like this in Iwagakure).

"How dare you insult Lord Tsuchikage!" he roared. "You will pay the price!"

His figure blurred and disappeared from Uchiha Madara's sight.

Then he saw a pair of Sharingan and was frozen in place.

Uchiha Madara continued forward, and as he passed by him, he twisted his arm.

Black Zetsu quickly caught up.

When it ran past the spot where Uchiha Madara had just been, the Iwagakure Ninja with his neck broken was already lying on the ground.

"I think I understand that evil kid a little better now," Uchiha Madara suddenly said. "The ninjas outside are indeed too weak. It's no wonder he can't see his own limitations, since he's with Hashirama Tenten."

Black Zetsu remained silent; he knew Uchiha Madara didn't need it to speak.

It only needs to lead the way.

Along the way, we encountered several more groups of people.

Their days as human beings came to an end.

Black Zetsu suddenly felt that its journey had been nothing short of a contribution to Leaf Village.

None of the people I encountered were from Leaf Village.

Finally, the gate to the Uchiha Clan Compound appeared before them.

Uchiha Madara stopped acting like Hashirama and carefully examined the outer walls of the Uchiha Clan Compound.

"Such an obvious move, yet accepted so easily, ha..."

Uchiha Madara disliked Senju Tobirama, and Senju Tobirama the same way.

They both wanted to kill each other, but neither could.

Senju Tobirama lacked strength.

Uchiha Madara is beyond our control.

So much so that his mindset later changed—he started to enjoy watching Senju Tobirama want to kill him but was powerless to do so.

He would often drag Hashirama out for walks, and Senju Tobirama had no choice but to put up with it, no matter how unhappy he was.

Uchiha Madara walked towards the gate, his steps unchanged.

At the gate, a group of the Uchiha Clan ninjas stationed there also spotted him.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Man Who Represents the Origin of All Things

The place that could perhaps be called the sky was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The water on the ground was up to my calves and felt cool.

The water was stagnant; the only force that could make it move was the actions of Uchiha Shingen.

Uchiha Shingen climbed out of the water, and with his movement, ripples spread across the once still surface.

This place was familiar to him.

On one point, Uchiha Shingen largely agreed with Orochimaru's viewpoint.

Whether it's exploring the truth, unraveling the secrets of this world, or gradually reaching the highest point, it all takes time.

However, we are all just ordinary people, and time is limited.

This world has televisions and refrigerators, but it has even more Kunai, Shuriken, Explosive Tag, Ninjutsu bombardment, and piloting Gundams.

In such a messed-up place, who wouldn't feel empty? Without something to hold onto, life would be unbearable.

Whether it's the pursuit of truth, the desire to know everything, or any other kind of will, it all stems from the simplest desire—to hell with the war!

In a world that is inherently barbaric, there aren't many ways to escape war.

I tried it once, but failed.

This playthrough used a different approach, but so far, the results haven't been great.

Ninjas are already considered one of the most... no, most cultured groups in the world. This group has long reached a consensus that simply being stronger than anyone else will not make this extreme violence disappear; the answer must be sought at a higher level.

From the moment the God Tree appeared in this world, only one path remained to the truth, or rather, to know everything.

Chakra.

Ninjas are the profession closest to this path and have the greatest chance of walking it.

But as a ninja, you first have to spend most of your time learning how to kill and how to avoid being killed. If you're lucky enough, you can probably stop worrying about being killed by others around the age of thirty and even choose whether or not to kill others.

But at this point, a person's prime years are reduced to just the last ten years.

Therefore, researching how to prolong one's own life, or even developing the Reincarnation Ninjutsu, is perfectly normal and without any problems.

During my first playthrough, Uchiha Shingen also visited this place, but at that time, it wasn't clear.

It's like being in a deep dream, with the feeling of waking up at any moment.

But this time, it was very clear. He could directly feel the wet sensation when the water touched his body, and he could breathe here. When he waved his hand, he could feel as if he were really gliding through the air.

Perhaps, this is a case of unintentionally planting willows and expecting them to flourish.

You can't get what you want by force; you can only glimpse a corner of it, unable to reach it.

Instead of forcing it, it came, right before my eyes.

Uchiha Shingen looked ahead; perhaps he could find some answers there.

That was a man with a ball under his buttocks.

He... no, He is the origin of everything.

The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Known as the "cheat grandpa," he can shoot two at once.

He was also the most filial son of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and the founder of the virtue of filial piety in this world.

Of course, from a social perspective, he was very filial, and his filial piety was excellent.

Otherwise, you could just go straight into the God Tree and become White Zetsu in your first playthrough.

Uchiha Shingen walked over.

This person Hagoromo Otsutsuki...

Putting aside His posture and clothing, His unique appearance, the beard that hangs down to His crotch, and His strikingly prominent features make Him easily recognizable.

This distinctiveness is unaffected by the passage of time, nor is it limited by different art styles.

After all, he exudes an aura of pure awesomeness—I'm so cool! So awesome! I don't care about money!

As Uchiha Shingen approached Him, he had to look up.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki was floating, and he was also a tall figure.

Yes, Hagoromo Otsutsuki is very tall. Considering that people shrink as they age, he must have been a tall and handsome man when he was young.

Uchiha Shingen didn't test whether he could use Ninjutsu. First, if everyone could use it, he knew he couldn't beat this guy anyway. Second, even when you're taking advantage of someone, you have to be considerate and make sure they have a good experience.

When Uchiha Shingen stopped, Hagoromo Otsutsuki also opened his eyes.

Mosquito coil eyes, very oppressive.

Very well, even He can pull these kinds of stunts.

Uchiha Shingen felt that everyone should have a lot in common.

"Hello, newcomer," said Hagoromo Otsutsuki. "You're not the first to actively seek an opportunity to meet me, but you're certainly the only one who has succeeded."

Uchiha Shingen almost touched his eyes as if to remind this cheat-like old man—"Actually, we got a pair too, but it requires a cheat code to activate. How about you give me a shortcut?"

"You are different from the newcomers who came later; you have no doubts about why you are here. This means you understand what I have done, and perhaps..." Hagoromo Otsutsuki said, "The difference in our time periods will not be an obstacle to our communication."

After saying that, Hagoromo Otsutsuki continued to look at Uchiha Shingen.

Uchiha Shingen remained silent, his gaze fixed on Hagoromo Otsutsuki with only one expression.

Keep talking, I love listening to you.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki: "..."

He was somewhat confused about his descendants.

Although He and all the reincarnated beings who had the opportunity to reach this place throughout history actually had little in common.

From His perspective, the thoughts of the reincarnated are unimportant. He has become a myth, and the reincarnated's perception of Him is not the real Him. What matters is what the reincarnated wants to do.

By exploring the other person's purpose and starting from His own, He decides whether or not to give the other person strength.

But in the face of the power of time, the power He bestows will ultimately return to the Pure Land.

Therefore, He never gave, but only temporarily lent.

But the reincarnated person in front of me is a little special.

Previous reincarnated individuals arrived here in confusion and ignorance. It would take time just to understand His identity. Moreover, it wasn't simply a matter of reincarnated individuals reaching this place. Only by chance, when they were able to establish a connection with His Chakra, was it possible for them to enter.

Therefore, one must be a descendant of Ashura and Indra, as they share the same Chakra.

The previous Indra's Chakra reincarnation not only established a connection with His Chakra, but also reversed the flow of His Chakra, thus gaining the Rinnegan.

There should never be another Rinnegan in this world.
