Shingen and Madara (Continued)

The person before him was both himself and not himself.

However, in this world of Chakra, it is difficult to define what is real and what is fake. Shadow Clone are fake, but Shadow Clone will is not fabricated. All the actions of the Shadow Clone reflect their true will, only manifested in another vessel because of Chakra.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique is essentially the same; otherwise, the Impure World Shadow Clone technique from the first playthrough wouldn't be possible.

The current Senju Muzoku is essentially Uchiha Shingen Impure World Shadow Clone of Uchiha Shingen.

Whether people in the Hokage world have souls is impossible to verify, but the fact that Pure Land is not a naturally formed world, but a technique that exists for the purpose of capturing Chakra, is a certainty in Uchiha Shingen's eyes.

Reclaiming the Chakra he left behind in the Pure Land during his first playthrough is now an important matter he must consider.

It's difficult for one person to do this, but if there are two versions of yourself, it's definitely possible.

However, the person before him was, after all, Uchiha Madara.

He definitely can't beat Six Paths Madara).

How will we know if we don't fight the Edo Madara?

"Indeed, Clan Chief Madara, since you've put it that way, it would be very inconsiderate of me to take care of other matters first." Uchiha Shingen looked around. "Clan Chief Madara, let's go somewhere else. It feels strange to demolish our own house."

"Sure," Uchiha Madara said. "You choose the place."

Without saying a word, Uchiha Shingen turned around and started yelling.

"Not bad, Body Flicker Technique." Uchiha Madara nodded and followed.

It's dragged on for so long. If Uchiha Obito can't escape, he'll kill that kid himself.

The Senju Muzoku One watched the two disappear from sight, one after the other, and chuckled.

Uchiha Madara's flaw was that he was too arrogant; he was like that when he was alive, and he was still like that after he died.

However, as the mastermind behind everything, if he finds out that he was reincarnated as an Uchiha Clan, he'll probably try every means to kill him, which wouldn't be good.

There's no such thing as a thief who can be caught a thief for a thousand days; keeping quiet and making a fortune is the best strategy.

Senju Muzoku didn't follow; he continued chasing after Uchiha Obito in the direction he had fled.

After bombing this batch so many times, the tracking technique should have been deployed long ago.

There's no escape!

Having reached the pinnacle of the Ninja World in his previous life, the Body Flicker Technique, now free from the negative effects of fatigue after being Impure World Reincarnation, Senju Muzoku to run even faster than before.

This body has no sensation, preventing him from fully enjoying the thrill of combat. As a result, he can only rely on visual experiences to satisfy himself.

Hidden Leaf Village has changed a lot, but the road layout around Hokage Rock hasn't changed fundamentally. Moreover, there are many old buildings here, so even the Senju Muzoku can barely find their way.

He rushed out of the city and into the greenbelt in the north district, which was originally one of the main battlegrounds between Konoha Ninja and Cloud Village.

However, when Senju Muzoku arrived, the battle had already ended. Traces of large-scale Ninjutsu were visible everywhere, along with towering trees and enormous blooming flowers.

From these traces alone, the Senju Muzoku could roughly reconstruct the scene of the battle here.

That's roughly how it can be described.

The Cloud Village stormed in, the Konoha Ninja fought back, and then Senju Hashirama arrived and unleashed the Flower Tree World.

The battle is over.

[My older brother is still soft-hearted.]

The Senju Muzoku shook his head.

Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama basically represent two completely different combat philosophies of the Senju of the Forest.

Senju Hashirama hoped to eliminate conflicts and strengthen communication, so he developed a series of Wood Release techniques primarily aimed at binding enemies and rendering them unable to fight.

Senju Tobirama hoped to reduce the enemy's strength to an insurmountable level by eliminating their manpower, and the Senju Tobirama (Senju Muzoku) embodied this concept.

Toka, that tiger girl, was the same.

As a girl, she exudes a more murderous aura than anyone else.

But the thought that Senju Tobirama had actually tried to get him to date that tiger girl made him feel like he was having a heart attack, even though he was in Impure World Reincarnation Senju Muzoku.

Second brother, what were you thinking back then?

[Ah... I found it.]

Feedback regarding the tracking technique has been received again.

Senju Muzoku and moved even faster, passing through the area suppressed by Wood Release and heading northeast.

At this moment, Uchiha Shingen also found a place he liked.

Having reached his destination, he lightly leaped and landed on the lake.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to choose this place." Uchiha Madara, who had followed, snorted coldly, lightly tapped his feet, and floated to the other side.

"Since you've chosen this place, you know what happened here, right?" Uchiha Madara looked at the face beneath Uchiha Shingen's feet.

That was his face.

The place that Uchiha Shingen chose was the very spot where he had his final battle with Hashirama.

"I know." Uchiha Shingen spread his hands. "In order to realize their ideals, they had to use violence in this chaotic world. The people of the village sculpted your images in this place where you and the First Hokage fought, as a way to commemorate that precious time."

"It was a foolish time." Uchiha Madara glanced at the two towering statues on his left, the stone statues of himself and Hashirama. "The darkness of this village began here."

This is the Valley of the End.

In the original timeline, he was created by the power of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, but was later destroyed in the battle between Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke.

"Clan Chief Madara, perfectionism is undesirable," Uchiha Shingen said with a smile, "But if we were to flip the table, all our previous efforts would be wasted."

"With your eye power, you must have seen all the contents of the stone tablet by now," Uchiha Madara said. "In that case, you should know that is the path to your ideal."

"Clan Chief Madara, we're looking at the same stone tablet, but I think we're interpreting it differently." Uchiha Shingen shook his head. "Shouldn't it be saying that if the power of the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan were combined, they would be invincible?"

What are you doing, spouting your peace ideals here?

Sorry, buddy, I'm not against war; I'm against warmongers.

And you're a war fanatic now.

"Invincible under heaven..." Uchiha Madara was silent for a moment, "Actually, that's not that interesting."

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

Holy crap, are you kidding me?

But you're not invincible, are you? There's always been that big idiot who's just a little bit better than you, isn't there?

"Clan Chief Madara, actually, you didn't die in that battle, did you?" Uchiha Shingen suddenly said.

"Oh?" Uchiha Madara became interested. "Why do you think so?"

"Now that you've seen the stone tablet, you'll naturally know that the Uchiha Clan's power is incomplete and still requires the Senju Clan's power. You deceived the First in that battle; you were just looking for an opportunity to seize his power, weren't you? And you succeeded, which is why you obtained the Rinnegan."

"Indeed, destroying this village means nothing to me." Uchiha Madara was quite satisfied; the brat before him was indeed to his liking. "I obtained Hashirama's power, and thus obtained the true power of the Uchiha Clan, thereby surpassing Hashirama."

"Then I have a question." Uchiha Shingen held up one finger. "Why didn't you just ask the First Hokage for a piece of his flesh and blood? Would he have refused? Wouldn't that have been much more efficient than all this trouble you've gone through?"

Uchiha Madara: "... I'll take what I want myself."

No, you didn't even consider that. You're just stubborn!

"That's enough small talk." Uchiha Madara grew impatient, a cold glint appearing in his Rinnegan. "Kid, I advise you to unleash your full power, or you'll die here."

"Okay." Uchiha Shingen nodded.

The next moment, both of them simultaneously emitted tangible Chakra, which, before it could fully form, lunged at each other.

Before the blue and white Chakra collided, two giant hands had already formed.

Boom!

The clash of fists and palms first triggered a shockwave, causing the lake surface to sink before exploding. Floodwaters rushed towards the lakeshore, inundating the surrounding trees and then sweeping everything it had knocked down back towards the center of the lake.

Uchiha Shingen used Susanoo: Super Push Hands.

Uchiha Madara, however, used Susanoo: Super Strength.

It's still the most authentic and genuine Senju Great Strength Fist technique.

The Ninjutsu that Uchiha Madara deciphered during his long battle with Senju Hashirama were clearly not limited to various Wood Release techniques.

Neither of the two Uchiha Clan gave the large pieces of trash swept back by the lake water a second glance.

Their Susanoo technique has been officially unleashed.

In comparison, Uchiha Madara was faster.

Although it is not the complete form, it is indeed a form that took shape earlier.

But an astonishing chill had already spread as Uchiha Shingen Hand Seals.

White covered the lake surface, the ice solidified, and one by one, crystalline ice giants rose from the ice.

In terms of the speed at Susanoo formed, Uchiha Shingen was indeed not as fast Uchiha Madara, but thanks to the Ice and Snow Exhibition, Uchiha Shingen honed his ice sculpting skills to perfection.

Susanoo Uchiha Madara could even throw a punch, seven or eight Ice Release giants had already blocked Uchiha Shingen's path, charging towards Uchiha Madara on the ice.

"Interesting." Uchiha Madara up.

In an instant, the same number of Uchiha Madara's distinctive, simplified Susanoo rose from the ice surface.

The proud Uchiha Madara was even less willing to take advantage of numbers when facing his juniors.

None of them were using the Perfect Susanoo at this time; these giants' weapons were their own power.

The moment the two sides made contact, the Ice Release Giant exposed the greatest weakness of Ice Release.

When faced with power of equal strength, even Senjutsu cannot compensate for this deficiency.

An Ice Release giant successfully struck its opponent's chest, but the simplified Susanoo, made of Chakra, completely absorbed the blow and retaliated with a punch that pierced the Ice Release giant's chest cavity.

The Ice Release giant immediately reached out and grabbed the simplified Susanoo. The next moment, it "melted," and thick frost spread along the arm of the simplified Susanoo that was pressing against its chest, freezing it into an ice block in the blink of an eye.

Uchiha Madara initially didn't take it seriously, but he soon discovered that the ice layer contained Sealing Jutsu that actually sealed his Susanoo.

Soon, the other Susanoo followed suit. The large lake was still a bit cramped for their Ninjutsu, and the space for maneuvering between the Susanoo and the Ice Release Giant was not very spacious.

This is... so interesting!

"Young man, let me give you some advice." Uchiha Madara. "There's a reason why Hashirama was able to match me with Wood Release back then. Whether it's the Ice Release from Hidden Mist Village or the Sand Ninjutsu from Sand Village, they're all garbage."

Boom!

Amidst the deafening roar, one after another, giant lumps of ice were forced open by external forces.

That's Wood Release.

The growing Wood Release broke through the Ice Release's seal, intertwining and beginning to form an even larger giant.

The Chakra that constitutes Susanoo is a collection of natural energy used to perform Wood Release techniques.

On the ice, a cracking sound also came from behind Uchiha Madara's Susanoo. A thick, Susanoo appear "small," grew out of the ice. As it continued to grow, more ice shards were either shaken off or ejected as the ice continued to expand.

"Now that I possess the Rinnegan, I must change my Ninjutsu when the time is right!"

As if in response to Uchiha Madara's words, a Wood Release secret technique that Uchiha Shingen was most familiar with in his previous playthrough was fully unleashed.

Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence

Countless branches and vines burst forth from the ice plains.

Green overwhelmed white.

The waterfall flowing between the two giant statues was also cut in half, the great lake disappeared, and countless growing trees were wiped out like a tide. In an instant, the Ice Release giants were all annihilated.

The Susanoo Uchiha Shingen was in was also entangled by these Wood Release, and he immediately felt the exaggerated binding force.

Uchiha Madara's use of Wood Release as his starting move was somewhat unexpected.

According to his understanding, Uchiha Madara did not actually use Wood Release when facing opponents he truly valued. Although he had deciphered all the Wood Release techniques, to be honest, it was not his main skill, and he was not actually very proficient in it.

Simply put, in Uchiha Madara's eyes, Uchiha Shingen was not a truly serious opponent.

[You underestimate me, Uncle Madara. I'm not the same person I used to be...]

Faced with the increasingly powerful binding force of Wood Release, Uchiha Shingen had no intention of deliberately holding back.

He activated his Sage Mode.

At the same time, the Cursed Seal was activated.
