Star Rail: Can't I Just Peacefully Do Commissions? Chapter 39

"…Asura of the Ninja World, so that's it. Are you that kid Madara Uchiha? Son of Tajima Uchiha… So that brat became the head of the Uchiha? The Uchiha Clan is really going downhill."

"Woman! Who exactly are you?"

"I am the Monster you call the ultimate weapon, a vengeful spirit who will take revenge on the Uchiha Clan! You stole my name, calling me Nameless, but in the future, I will stand on the ruins of the Uchiha Clan and reclaim the name Uchiha Hikari!"

Chapter 080: Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!

Ultimate Weapon.

Nameless?

The Asura of the Ninja World in the underground cave pondered for a moment before belatedly recalling records related to this matter. In his grandfather's era, the Uchiha Clan had briefly possessed an ultimate weapon that was invincible and unstoppable.

However, later, that ultimate weapon was sealed by people from other ninja clans for some reason. His father had also tried to unseal that weapon, but ultimately failed.

As for himself, He wasn't interested in those things.

He himself could already face other ninja clans with unmatched victory, so why would he need to rely on the so-called ultimate weapon?

"So the so-called ultimate weapon refers to you?"

"I have heard of your existence… I see, you are a Mangekyo wielder."

Madara Uchiha stared at the extremely delicate and still somewhat childish girl, his brows furrowed unconsciously. With his arrogance, he honestly looked down on the ancestors who had forcibly treated this girl as the ultimate weapon.

"Actually, her Mangekyo Sharingan's ability aligns perfectly with your plan, Mr. Madara."

"Who are you?"

Madara Uchiha frowned, turning his gaze to the young man with short orange hair. He could faintly sense the Uchiha's pupils on him.

"Shirou Emiya."

"You know my plan?"

"The Moon Eye, Infinite Tsukuyomi, right?"

As soon as Shirou directly uttered these words, Madara Uchiha instinctively began to leak killing intent. At the same time, ferocious crimson appeared in Uchiha Hikari's pupils.

"Kid, if you dare to make a move, I will kill you at all costs!"

The Uchiha matriarch from the Warring States period had a hint of pathological madness in her expression. Her pupils were locked onto the nearby Minazuki Ren. If he made any move, she would unhesitatingly unleash Amaterasu and burn him to ashes.

"Uninteresting. Without even a Tomoe, you are merely a commoner."

Facing those Mangekyo eyes, Madara Uchiha's attitude remained calm and arrogant.

"Kid, why do you know my secret?"

"Somewhere in this world, there is a vast energy that can even allow people to travel to the past and future, arbitrarily changing time and space."

"Oh? Kid… What is that energy?"

A gleam appeared in Madara Uchiha's eyes. If he could return to the past, as long as he defeated Hashirama, he could protect Izuna… No, if he returned to the past, he could protect all his younger brothers, conquer the Senju Clan, and completely conquer everything in the world under the Uchiha.

"No need to be so impatient, Mr. Madara. Let's discuss this topic when your main body truly meets us."

"Kid, what do you want?"

Although he was accustomed to obtaining everything he wanted through power, he was not a truly arrogant fool. The person in front of him knew his plan and even stood before him so calmly, clearly having the confidence to deal with him.

He was already old and frail. Even if he forcibly activated his life force and possessed the combat ability of his peak period, after that, he would completely burn out all his remaining life force. However, his plan still had many things unarranged, and it was not yet time to confront the man in front of him.

Therefore, If he could achieve his goals through negotiation, he wouldn't mind making a deal with the other party.

"The Power of All Creation."

"Kid, you are too greedy."

The other party directly pointed to his most precious possession. A cold glint appeared in Madara Uchiha's eyes, but Shirou smiled.

"Mr. Madara, the Rinnegan might be a precious item in your hands, but once the gene code and operating principles are truly mastered, I can easily create thousands of Rinnegan."

"Byakugan, Tenseigan, Sharingan, Rinnegan, Jōgan, Black Eye… These Dōjutsu Kekkei Genkai originating from the Ōtsutsuki Clan are too shortsighted if they are confined to just one type."

"What are you talking about? Black Eye? Tenseigan? Jōgan? These are all dojutsu I've never heard of… What do you mean by originating from the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"

"Indra Ōtsutsuki, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the ancestor of the Uchiha Clan, was born with the perfect Sage's eye, the Sharingan. His Sharingan was weakened from Otsutsuki Hagoromo's bloodline, and the Sage of Six Paths' bloodline originated from a clan from beyond the heavens. His mother was named Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and she is now sealed on the moon in the sky… Mr. Madara, do you know what scene will occur when you use the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the entire ninja world through the moon?"

·· ····· Seeking Flowers 0 ·······

Shirou smiled and stared at the Asura of the Ninja World, completely unconcerned about anyone spoiling the plot.

"The mental will you split from yourself, the one called Black Zetsu, the third son of the Goddess of Usagi, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, will then use you as a sacrifice to revive his mother. At that time, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki will logically inherit everything you have planned: the Infinite Tsukuyomi, the Rinnegan, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki… and the chakra of the entire ninja world."

... ... ...

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

The old Madara in the underground cave clenched his fists fiercely. He couldn't believe he was being deceived by a split of his own mental will. That thing was clearly a part he had willingly split off… as an agent of his future will.

[Emotional Value +35 from Uchiha Madara]

"Don't be so quick to dismiss me, Mr. Madara. I've come with sincerity to cooperate. If you're willing to work with us, restoring your youth or resurrecting Hashirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha will be incredibly simple matters."

"If you, our side, and the Ōtsutsuki branch family guarding Kaguya Ōtsutsuki on the Moon unite, this ninja world... is merely a drop in the ocean of this vast universe."

"This cramped ninja world has likely long since become a small fishpond, restraining you from truly enjoying yourself, Mr. Madara."

"Who are you?"

"We are 'Pathfinders,' followers of the ideal of the Aeon of Preservation, Aevium, and nameless travelers who constantly explore the unknown and unknowable. If you were to leave this narrow ninja world, you would discover the boundless outer space holds so much wonder. Enemies like your arch-rival, Hashirama Senju, are everywhere. Experts who can easily destroy ninja worlds are as common as carp crossing a river, and monsters that can crush planets with a single blow are not few."

"A new world, wouldn't you... feel tempted?" Seven.

Chapter 081: The Ninja World's Asura Prepares to Face Reality.

Deep beneath the Land of Earth, Within a bottomless cavern, Madara Uchiha closed his eyes, releasing the transfer seal controlling the Third Mizukage's jutsu. Everything the man had said before echoed in his mind.

It was true, as the man had said. After losing his arch-rival, Hashirama Senju, it had been too long since he had a worthy opponent to face seriously.

His aging body wasn't the real reason he'd retreated underground.

While the Rinnegan was immensely useful to him, even his Mangekyo Sharingan was enough for him to easily ravage the current ninja world.

But...

It was meaningless.

Even if he forcibly unified the world, after his death, the Uchiha's rule would still crumble.

He simply didn't want the era of "963" that Hashirama Senju had established to collapse so easily before a better option emerged.

If he had a superior plan to completely dismantle the ninja village era that Hashirama Senju prided himself on, he would have done so without hesitation...

But unfortunately, after much thought, his ultimate plan had become the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

And now, that person had directly stated to his face that there was a hidden hand behind the Infinite Tsukuyomi, guiding him to this point?

Was he, Madara Uchiha, being played like a fool?

His instincts screamed denial, but after a long period of contemplation, he decided to test that guy...

If he truly was the third son of the so-called Goddess of Usagi, A fierce glint appeared in Madara Uchiha's pupils. He wouldn't care if the guy was the son of a goddess or not. He only cared that he had been exploited, toyed with, and manipulated like a pawn by such a lowly being.

"Resurrecting Izuna and Hashirama isn't something to rush. If he can truly help me regain my youth and take me to a wider world... perhaps I can try trusting him once."

While the Rinnegan was precious, he, Madara Uchiha, didn't excessively value it.

As a strong individual, he never believed that his bloodline limit made him who he was; rather, he made his bloodline limit.

Even against an enemy who possessed the Rinnegan, he was still confident he could defeat him personally.

The strong remain strong. He possessed the conviction and confidence forged through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Even if he lost his Rinnegan and temporarily acquired a Sharingan, he would still be the Asura of the Ninja World he once was.

"Ōtsutsuki, Byakugan, Black Eye, Sharingan, Jōgan... how many more secrets of this world does Madara Uchiha not know?"

"If such a faction truly exists, by seizing their power, perhaps I too can develop a unique Dojutsu bloodline that belongs solely to Madara Uchiha."

The Sharingan was passed down from his ancestors.

Now he was being told the Rinnegan was also passed down from his ancestors.

In that case, he, Madara Uchiha, would break free from the framework of the Sharingan and Rinnegan and nurture a 'Dōjutsu' that belonged only to him.

"First, I'll deal with Black Zetsu. If there are indeed problems on his end, then everything that kid said will truly have value."

"So, this old fellow was behind the downfall of the Land of Whirlpools."

The Third Mizukage, freed from the genjutsu, was once again respectfully captured by the Sharingan's genjutsu without lasting even one round under Uchiha Hikari's gaze.

As spoils of war, Shirou Emiya dragged the Mizukage into the Land of Whirlpools. The Ice Release bloodline limit was a good thing; he could hand it over to Mei as an experimental subject later.

The remaining ninjas on the battlefield were also completely cleared out by the two Creation Engines. A few stragglers were taken prisoner. After the battle summary... the Uzumaki Clan had fewer than twenty injured, and not a single casualty. The two Creation Engines combined had annihilated at least 2,800 enemy soldiers, leaving only about two hundred ninjas from the Three Great Ninja Villages imprisoned.

Thus, the incident of the Land of Whirlpools' fall was completely rewritten.

If the fate of this country was rewritten, many things would be subtly altered. For example, Konoha would no longer be able to obtain a stable supply of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki hosts.

Furthermore, with Konoha completely losing its ally, the Land of Whirlpools, it would no longer receive any grants or rewards in the field of sealing jutsu in the future. The other Three Great Ninja Villages, having lost a large source of ninja recruits, would enter a phase of forced recuperation.

If the Second Ninja World War couldn't arrive in time...

Konoha's F4 would likely ruin Konoha's basic foundation with their incompetence.

If Minato Namikaze lost the opportunity to debut in the Second Ninja World War, becoming the Fourth Hokage would be almost impossible.

"So I've crushed the opportunity for Blondie to rise?"

He actually quite liked the character of Minato Namikaze, it was just a shame that this person's personality was too gentle. Even if you elevated him to outer space, he still felt like he'd be a very by-the-book type of person...

"Never mind, he's just a brat right now, no need to waste time on him."

"The Uchiha Clan doesn't have any outstanding talents right now, and Kagami Uchiha also died on the battlefield..."

"The Hyuga Family is even more of a heavyweight..."

"Speaking of which, Sakumo Hatake is probably still alive now. The Konoha prodigy who lives forever in memories, the cutting king who relies only on swordsmanship and not ninjutsu. I should try to get in touch with him if I have the chance."

After quickly reviewing the valuable personnel in the ninja world in his mind, Mr. Emiya felt a bit disheartened. His youth was spent with the Konoha 12, and now the fathers of the Konoha 12 were still in the stage of growing up. It wasn't much better than the uninspired plot of Boruto: Naruto Next Generations.

"The ninja sample collection plan can also officially begin. I wonder if there are still any members of the Kaguya Clan among the ninjas who attacked Kirigakure."

"As for Konoha..."

Mr. Emiya rubbed his forehead slightly. Those war criminals were one thing, but it felt rather inappropriate for him to capture innocent people as test subjects.

"I'll openly invite volunteers later."

With the incident in the Land of Whirlpools completely over, Mr. Emiya began to consider if there was anything else worth acquiring in the ninja world. The Six Paths Divine Artifacts weren't of much significance. If anything, the turtle left behind on Earth by the Ōtsutsuki Clan was quite useful.

"But that turtle seems to be an anime original? I don't know if it exists in this world..."

"If I could get that turtle, I might be able to use it to travel to other worlds. If I could go to the Xianzhou 800 years ago, I could directly snatch Bai Heng back... Hiss, and Cangcheng, Yuque... But it involves the time domain of Star Rail, so I don't know how effective it will be. I'll acquire it first."

"And Teyvat 500 years ago, if I could snatch Makoto Raiden back, Ei Raiden could be dealt with directly..."
