Chapter 193 Reanimation of Uchiha Madara
At the speed of the Souji, they quickly arrived at the unclaimed territory in the northern part of the Land of Fire.
This place is extremely desolate and eerie.
Even deserts like the Land of Wind have many inhabitants, but the unclaimed territory has far fewer people than the Land of Wind.
With the map in hand, Souji quickly found the iconic giant skeleton.
The skeleton of this creature is now unknown and has no particular significance.
This is the landmark of the Akatsuki headquarters, the Mountain Graveyard, in the original work.
At this point in time, the powerful Akatsuki organization did not exist; the one currently hiding in the Mountain Graveyard is Uchiha Madara.
He was once a legendary figure in the ninja world.
His Sharingan was so powerful that he could easily control the mighty Nine-Tails.
He was on par with the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, and they were almost evenly matched in a direct confrontation until he was finally defeated by Hashirama due to a moment of carelessness.
A man who is unbelievably powerful.
Even now, if we only consider the destructive power of a single attack, Souji still cannot reach the level of Hashirama and Madara.
These two individuals are indeed far beyond what is commonly referred to as "King-level".
But that's all in the past.
Hashirama died soon after his decisive battle with Madara due to his injuries.
Madara, having experienced countless battles since childhood, was covered in scars, and his physical condition deteriorated significantly in old age.
While Onoki and Genji were still able to fight energetically even at a very old age, Madara, at the same age, could only hide in caves, relying on the Divine Tree for energy to sustain his life, and even going outside was difficult for him.
Of course, after all, it was Madara Uchiha. No one knows what means he actually had to protect himself at that time.
Besides, even if the God Tree was just a shell, it would definitely not be weaker than the Nine-Tails.
Therefore, Souji was not in a hurry to find Madara, but instead used Earth Release ninjutsu to sneak into the mountain graveyard from underground.
Having previously achieved major accomplishments such as becoming Hokage and having all the ninja villages submit, he gained a tremendous amount of prestige..
Currently, his prestige is 9.5 million, which is 500,000 short of upgrading his ultimate skill to level seven.
Just then, the divine tree was adorned with over 100,000 white monsters.
Although these guys are weak, their individual combat strength is roughly equivalent to that of a weak Chunin, but they have still reached the Chunin level.
If we kill them all, wouldn't we be able to gather the remaining prestige?
Raising the ultimate skill to level seven means that even a level six expert can achieve a decisive victory.
That would ensure everything goes perfectly and resolve all issues.
...
At the same time.
In the graveyard, Madara looked at his 'corpse', clenched his fist, felt his new body, and finally shook his head and sighed slightly.
"It feels terrible... Although the Impure World Reincarnation is good, it is ultimately not a real life, so it inevitably feels unreal."
"A body like this is simply incapable of feeling the passion and excitement of battle!"
Now, Madara's appearance has returned to that of his youth.
He is wearing the red ancient-style armor commonly used in the Warring States period, but his face has cracks like those on ceramic, and his eyes are an eerie black with a pair of crimson pupils.
These are all characteristics of the dead summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Madara met with Orochimaru, who had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and as a reward for the instruction, asked Orochimaru to summon him using the Impure World Reincarnation.
Although Orochimaru's mastery of the Impure World Reincarnation technique was not perfect, using it on someone as powerful as him now carried a considerable risk of failure.
However, the situation could not be delayed any longer, so Madara decisively took the risk and gave it a try.
Once the connection with the Divine Tree was severed, Madara's already extremely old and weak body immediately died.
Madara had previously given Orochimaru his body tissues for research, so Orochimaru could immediately perform the Impure World Reincarnation technique on him.
The result was smooth.
The legend of the ninja world, the strongest man in Uchiha history, Uchiha Madara, returned to the world with power close to his peak.
In addition, there are the two major advantages of Edo Tensei: unlimited regeneration and unlimited chakra.
A sense of confidence, that everything was under control, welled up within Madara once again.
Although the state of being resurrected by Edo Tensei was only close to his peak, it was still not quite there yet, and the body of a dead person resurrected by Edo Tensei could not become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
But for now, as long as we restore our fighting strength, everything else is negotiable.
As long as we have enough military force, everything else is a minor problem.
Orochimaru smiled slightly and said:
"Senior Uchiha, I have fulfilled your request. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Madara glanced at him and said:
"You're a very capable person, so how about it?
Would you like to continue working for me?"
"Thank you for your appreciation, but please forgive me for declining. I'd like to do some of my own research later."
Orochimaru refused Madara's invitation without the slightest hesitation.
Madara sized him up a few times, and finally nodded, saying:
"Fine, whatever makes you happy."
Madara didn't say much.
Although Madara had indeed considered whether it would be better to get rid of Orochimaru, he ultimately decided to cherish his talent and felt that such a person was truly rare and might be useful in the future, so he wasn't in a hurry to deal with him.
Orochimaru knew his own worth, and that Madara would let him leave safely, so he remained calm and was about to walk away.
Just then, the entire cave trembled slightly.
"This is..."
"It looks like a rat has sneaked in..."
Such a tremor was unnatural, and Madara immediately judged it to be an intrusion.
However, confident that with his strength restored to most of his peak, anyone who came would be sent to their death, so he didn't care at all.
"Alright, I haven't fought in a long time. I just recovered my strength and someone delivered it to my door.
It's perfect to test my skills."
Madara chuckled confidently.
"Hopefully this rat has some strength, otherwise it'll be too boring!"
A White Zetsu rose from the ground and said to Madara:
"Oh dear, oh dear, something terrible has happened!"
"Did a rat sneak in? Where?"
"It's that Mochizuki Souji! That guy sneaked in and is slaughtering the other 'me's' right now!" White Zetsu replied with a chuckle.
"What!? Mochizuki Souji?"
Both Madara and Orochimaru's expressions changed.
...
The mountain cemetery contains many, many huge cavities.
One of them is a huge underground cavity containing the roots of the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree and a large number of White Zetsu connected to it.
These white geese are extremely numerous, numbering as many as 100,000.
Kaguya killed her companions who had come to this world with her and kept the chakra fruit from the Divine Tree for herself.
Fearing that the Otsutsuki would send people to punish her, she activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi, controlling all the humans at that time and transforming them into taxi soldiers that she could control through the Divine Tree as a means to fight against her enemies.
This is the origin of the White Zetsu.
