To be honest, I was worried before that Indra might not have enough Chakra.
As a result, every time Uchiha Madara absorbed blood, he would use a Limbo Clone to take the damage in his place.
Furthermore, Uchiha Madara's Limbo Clone could regenerate one every one or two minutes, which meant that Meikyō obtained an unknown amount of blood from Uchiha Madara...
In short, the amount of Indra's Chakra extracted from this should be quite substantial.
In other words, he has already met all the conditions that might be required for the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Sage Body, Indra's Chakra, Asura Chakra, and any other type of Awakening Rinnegan.
If one awakens the Rinnegan, one's strength will naturally increase significantly.
Not to mention, according to Genus, his own strength has not yet reached the limit he can currently achieve.
With the help of Boros' training facilities, the time required to reach that limit can be greatly reduced.
"Kushina and I will also intensify our training to try to keep the Curse Mark Sage Art Tailed Beast Golden Mode active for an extended period of time. At that time, our top combat power will receive a huge boost."
Minato Namikaze said with a serious expression.
"Minato, if we weren't in a serious high-level meeting right now, I would definitely laugh at you."
Hearing the strange name Minato Namikaze came up with, Tobirama Senju couldn't help but complain.
"And that Ultimate Storm Tailed Beast Chakra Golden Rasenshuriken, Kurama said he was very dissatisfied with the name you gave it."
Kushina relayed the Nine-Tails' opinion from the side.
Minato Namikaze an awkward smile, scratched his head, and said:
"Yes, really? But this is a name I've thought about for a long time. It's very different from my previous names, and I think it's pretty good."
Everyone:...
"Is there any difference? It's still just as bad..."
Jiraiya expressed what everyone was thinking.
The Third Hokage smiled faintly, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
He wanted to ask Meikyō how he acquired the Wood Release ability, but then realized that it seemed like he shouldn't ask such a question.
Today, with Uchiha Meikyō's strength, status, and prestige in Konoha, he has far surpassed others.
Even the two previous Hokage and Dan Katō, the current Fourth Hokage, are still somewhat inferior to Uchiha Meikyō in terms of prestige.
If Uchiha Meikyō doesn't want to talk about it, then there's no need for him to, and no one can force him to.
The Third Hokage was also worried that the Wood Release had been obtained through some "incorrect" means. If he were to ask about it, and it caused a rift that was difficult to resolve, then things would get complicated.
The current Konoha must unite against Uchiha Madara, and the only way to defeat Uchiha Madara is through Uchiha Meikyō.
"Fugaku, why haven't you said a word since you came in? Is something on your mind?"
Dan Katō suddenly looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who had been silent and had his head down since the beginning.
"Why..."
Uchiha Fugaku sighed heavily, then stood up and bowed to everyone.
"I apologize for not informing you all beforehand, but my eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, has decided to defect and join Uchiha Madara, becoming a spy planted by the village within Madara's inner circle."
Uchiha Fugaku made a startling statement.
The crowd was momentarily stunned and seemed somewhat surprised.
"Fugaku, didn't I say before that this kind of thing isn't for a young man like Itachi to handle? We're not without a chance against Madara right now, Itachi... has no need to do this kind of thing!"
Dan Katō questioned Uchiha Fugaku.
"I'm sorry, but Itachi told me that this is the optimal solution to achieve victory with the least cost. As someone who has a very similar background to Uchiha Madara, Itachi seems to be different in Madara's mind. He is the only suitable candidate."
Uchiha Fugaku clenched his fists, forcibly controlling his emotions, and calmly said.
That was his most valued eldest son!
But Uchiha Fugaku himself also believed that this was very necessary.
Meikyō covered her forehead in exasperation.
Although this family's experiences have changed significantly compared to the original timeline, their personalities remain the same.
Reality changed because of their arrival, but the personalities that Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto developed from their previous life experiences would not change.
Therefore, the education that Uchiha Itachi received from his parents as the eldest son was not much different from that in the original timeline.
They are the kind of people who like to take responsibility for things, have a strong sense of mission, are so obsessive that they are somewhat mentally unstable, and like to overthink things, which leads them to do things that are hard to understand.
"Tsk, Fugaku, since you're only saying this now, it means Itachi should have already left the village, right?"
Meikyō sighed and asked Uchiha Fugaku.
"I've done a lot behind your backs. Itachi has a deep affection for the village; his love for the village surpasses even his own life. If he were to betray the village, he would be the one who suffers the most. In addition, with the other methods I've arranged, there might be a possibility that he can awaken the Mangekyo ..."
Uchiha Fugaku didn't give a direct answer, but instead rambled on about his plans.
But this has already revealed the truth.
Of all the people, only Tobirama Senju felt that there was no problem with this.
Is it really that strange that the Uchiha would do something like this?
Meanwhile, across from the lake downstream of the Naka River.
This is a tributary of the Naka River that branches off from this lake. The stream flows ceaselessly, shimmering with golden light in the twilight.
"Smack!"
A Ninja Armor a heavy gait stepped onto the water, creating ripples.
With Sasuke on his back, Uchiha Shisui quickly stepped through the Minato and chased after the forest ahead.
"Senior Shisui, my brother..."
"Sasuke, if it were you, you could definitely persuade Itachi to come back! You're the one he cares about most!"
Uchiha Shisui placed his hopes on Sasuke, Itachi's most beloved Sasuke.
"Um!"
Sasuke nodded seriously and replied.
Even with Sasuke on his back, Shisui's speed was still very fast, flashing through the forest like a phantom.
Within Shisui's eye sockets, a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, quickly gathering information from the forest.
The deliberately concealed footprints were used to lure pursuers into breaking tree branches, or perhaps they were just a few strands of hair used to create a diversion...
"Itachi! You were here after all!"
At the edge of the forest, Shisui finally found Uchiha Itachi.
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi was leaning against a big tree, eating dry rations while drinking the stream water he had collected earlier.
"So you did catch up, huh? As expected of you, Shisui."
When Uchiha Itachi saw Sasuke being Shisui on Shisui's back, he was stunned for a moment, feeling a little flustered, but he managed to calm himself down.
"Itachi, I taught you all these tracking and counter-tracking skills. How could you possibly escape my sight? Stop now! Before things get too out of control!"
Uchiha Shisui shouted at Uchiha Itachi.
"You brought Sasuke here to threaten me? Unfortunately, I have severed all ties with the past. Not even my parents or brothers can shake my resolve."
Uchiha Itachi toyed with the Konoha Forehead Protector in his hand and coldly addressed Uchiha Shisui.
In reality, Uchiha Itachi was extremely panicked.
Why did you bring Sasuke along?!
How am I supposed to act like this?
"Nissan!"
Sasuke couldn't help but shout loudly at Uchiha Itachi.
"There's no other way, it seems I have to find a way to get rid of you first."
Shisui sighed, put Sasuke down, Hand Seals, and instantly created more than ten clones, which rushed towards Uchiha Itachi in unison.
"Mirror Body Flicker Technique, is that it..."
Uchiha Itachi glanced around, then stepped back with his right hand holding the sword, while forming a hand Hand Seals with his left.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
Two of the most outstanding Jonin of the younger generation of the Uchiha engaged in a fierce battle on this land.
Not far away, two faces appeared on a large tree.
One is White Zetsu, and on his chest is the head of a scorpion, which is wrapped around him.
"What do you think? Was Uchiha Itachi an actor?"
White Zetsu asked the scorpion under his chin.
"I don't know. It depends on whether he's willing to attack Uchiha Sasuke. If he is, it means he has indeed severed his ties."
Scorpion responded coldly.
"But Lord Madara said that if Uchiha Itachi really defected to us, we can't let Uchiha Sasuke get hurt, and we have to find a way to help Uchiha Sasuke his Sharingan."
White Zetsu shrugged and replied.
Scorpion remained silent for a while before asking White Zetsu.
Is Uchiha Shisui the only one here?
"There's definitely more than that. Several kilometers away, three Konoha Military Police Force detachments are approaching. Sarutobi Asuma, Shiranui Genma Might Guy, Kakashi, and several top Jonin are on good terms with Uchiha Shisui are also speeding towards this place. Once these people arrive, Uchiha Itachi will definitely not be able to escape."
Scorpion fell even more silent.
Might Guy's current strength is already that of Kage Level powerhouse. With the Eight Gates open, he might even be qualified to intervene in a battle at Madara's level. Kakashi has also crossed the threshold of Kage Level powerhouse. Asuma Shiranui Genma have also reached a level close to Kage Level.
Even though Sasori has now inherited Chiyo and Ebizo's puppet legacy and transformed them into Human Puppet, making him more than twice as strong as before, he is still somewhat intimidated by this lineup.
"Look!"
White Zetsu suddenly gave a reminder.
Sasori turned his head and saw Uchiha Itachi throw a Kunai with an Explosive Tag attached to it at Uchiha Sasuke, who was hiding behind a tree.
Shisui was startled, then quickly teleported to the clone next to Sasuke, leaping away with Sasuke in the process.
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi breathed a sigh of relief and pressed a button in his palm.
This is Remote-Controlled Explosive Tag invented by Kabuto Yakushi Kabuto 'Orochimaru disciple. It can control whether the Explosive Tag explodes or not. However, not many people know about it, and it is still in the testing phase. It was Uchiha Fugaku used his power as Konoha High Command to secretly buy a few from Root and give them to Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi was very confident in his ninja tool throwing technique, and was sure that at most his attack would leave a small cut on Sasuke's arm.
If Uchiha Shisui hadn't come to the rescue in time, Sasuke wouldn't have been in any serious danger.
However, Uchiha Shisui was unaware of all this; all he knew was that Uchiha Itachi had indeed attacked Sasuke!
"Boom!"
The Explosive Tag exploded with a loud bang.
Uchiha Shisui leaped to the side with Sasuke in his arms, his Sharingan filled with rage as he stared at Uchiha Itachi.
If I hadn't saved Sasuke, would Sasuke have been killed by the Explosive Tag on that Kunai?
How could a Ninja Academy Student who had only been at the Ninja Academy for less than a year possibly escape the attack Jonin Uchiha Itachi, a powerful Uchiha with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?
"Nii-san... you're not Nii-san! Nii-san would never want to kill me, you're not!"
Sasuke looked terrified, then stood up and roared at Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi, standing opposite him, could see it very clearly.
Sasuke's eyes had turned red, and one of the Tomoe was spinning rapidly.
While feeling relieved, Uchiha Itachi still had to deal with the formidable Uchiha Shisui.
"You beast, Uchiha Itachi, I misjudged you back then!"
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan in Shisui's eyes spun rapidly, even leaving afterimages.
The Demon Slayer Blade, transforming into a blade of light wreathed in flames, and slashed towards Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Shisui had been holding back all along, but now, enraged, he unleashed his full power.
Although both were Uchiha with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Shisui possessed the Mirror Body Flicker Technique, had a higher level of mastery of Breathing Technique, and his swordsmanship was a true inheritance from Meikyō.
Although Uchiha Itachi's strength was not bad among Jonin, he was still just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. Compared to Uchiha Shisui, he was naturally much weaker and could only barely hold on for the time being.
"Make your move."
Seeing this, Scorpion and White Zetsu a glance, and the former then took the latter out of the big tree.
Once separated from organic matter, the effect of the Mayfly Technique disappeared, and the aura of both was revealed to everyone's senses without reservation.
"Oh no, this is!"
Uchiha Shisui was suddenly startled.
"Red Secret Technique: Hundred Puppets Manipulation!"
Hundreds of Human Puppet dressed in tattered red robes rose up in a dense mass, except for the twelve at the head, who wore white robes.
Those were Chiyo's Chikamatsu Ten Puppets, and the Human Puppet made by Sasori from the corpses of Chiyo and Ebizo.
Both of them were top-tier ninjas in the Ninja World during their lifetimes. Although they were skilled in Puppet Technique and were not as good as those who specialized in this art or developed in all aspects, they were still far stronger than ordinary Jonin.
Under the hands of Sasori, a Puppet Technique genius no less than Monzaemon, the founder of Puppet Technique, the strength of these two corpses was no less than that of the Chikamatsu Ten Puppets.
And this is not even the strongest puppet under Scorpion's command.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Drizzle!"
Fine needles formed from condensed Iron Sand surged down from the sky.
Uchiha Shisui Sasuke behind him and unleashed a dense barrage of sword light with his Demon Slayer Blade, shattering all the Iron Sand.
