"Eh?"
White Zetsu placed the dying Obito on the bed and suddenly froze. Turning around, he said,
"Madara-sama, that guy called Moon God suddenly recovered."
"To what extent was the injury?" Madara asked, his head lowered. The Rinnegan he had retrieved was transplanted into the Impure World Reincarnation form of White Fang. Without the left eye, he couldn't see, and his world was an endless void. However, the darkness that would drive ordinary people insane didn't stir even the slightest ripple in the heart of the withered old man.
Why, you ask?
The name "Madara Uchiha" is the answer.
"His throat was slashed by Sakumo," White Zetsu said while simultaneously transplanting the prepared body tissue into Obito. "The trachea was definitely severed. That blood and the sound from his lungs couldn't be faked. But within a second, he recovered... Mystical Palm Technique?"
"Impossible. The Mystical Palm Technique can't achieve that level of healing," Madara responded softly. "It's more like Hashirama's regeneration ability... There are still talents in the shinobi world capable of developing such jutsu." He paused, his brows slightly furrowing.
"I remember last year, when Sarutobi's brat incited a clash between Kumo and Kirigakure, someone used a similar technique."
"Ah? Are you talking about Yuto Hyuga? He's Tsunade's disciple. During that war, he used a forbidden jutsu developed by his teacher. It's called Creation Rebirth, I think."
"Creation Rebirth, huh? Speaking of which, many reports indicate that Moon God indeed fights with deeply rooted Gentle Fist techniques."
"Madara, you don't think that Moon God is..."
"There's no need to conclude now. He will reveal more of his true abilities," Madara said, then fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, he laughed, his voice unexpectedly filled with a strange joy. "A branch member of the Hyuga clan, showing such resolve..."
...
"We can't hold back any longer."
Yuto coughed up blood from his trachea, his throat finally feeling somewhat better.
In the original world of his previous life, there was a minor detail. After the Five Kage Summit, the then-Kazekage Gaara planned to relay the summit's results to trustworthy shinobi in Konoha and mentioned the name Kakashi Hatake.
Ōnoki's first reaction was "White Fang's son."
At that time, the fame of Sharingan Kakashi was widespread across the Five Great Nations. He was already thirty-one years old, a top-notch warrior in both mind and strength. Yet, in Ōnoki's mind, Kakashi's biggest label was still White Fang's son. Even when the Fire Daimyo suggested Kakashi for the Sixth Hokage, he instinctively said, "Is that White Fang's son?"
Even after being dead for over twenty years, his reputation remained unforgettable.
That was White Fang of Konoha.
The Impure World Reincarnation body, with its consciousness wiped, would weaken the sensory and reactive abilities of a top-tier warrior. However, Madara had insanely transplanted the Rinnegan into him, making his combat strength undoubtedly higher than it was in life.
White Fang, Nagato, and an eyepatch-wearing masked man. Such a lineup was quite deadly.
Choosing to fight cautiously to avoid revealing his identity was as foolish as swallowing an exploding tag!
Yuto was completely trapped in Madara's snare.
At the same time, he was drawing ever closer to the aged and weakened Madara Uchiha.
'At any cost, I need rush through and kill him!'
'If I do that, I can keep my identity secret and obtain the top-tier Uchiha bloodline.'
A cold light flashed in Yuto's eyes as he lightly tapped his forehead, entering his masked mode.
Grasping the golden long blade, the quantity and quality of his chakra surged. The corpses of Shinosuke and Meiko trembled slightly, adapting to the new power.
One hundred and seventy-nine seconds remaining...
Yuto lightly flicked the blade, and mysterious black patterns appeared on his face under the mask. From now on, he would keep the Yin Seal unsealed at all times.
With an explosion of repulsive force from his toes, he left a deep pit where he stood and pounced towards the three enemies opposite him.
A flash of cold light; as Yuto approached, the Impure World Reincarnation form of White Fang appeared beside him, still holding the most common kunai in a straightforward thrust.
Simple, pure, and concise, with no embellishment.
"Half-Awakened Tenseigan: Twin Serpent Strangulation!" Yuto lightly shouted, creating a terrifying force field within three meters around him.
This move was aptly used, not only repelling enemies but also countering the Rinnegan's Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in.
However, White Fang did not retreat.
The hand holding the kunai collided with Yuto's abdomen, despite the arm being shredded to pieces.
An Impure World Reincarnation body should be used like this.
Yuto grunted. Under the effect of Creation Rebirth, his abdominal wound instantly healed. The brief exchange didn't stop his momentum. The moment his skin was restored, he was already in front of Nagato.
Sakumo and Nagato's Rinnegan activated simultaneously, with an Shinra Tensei pressing down on Yuto from both sides. Twin Serpent Strangulation roared into action. Although it protected the branch family boy, the massive clash of forces left him immobile.
In a critical moment, Shinosuke's corpse raised its hand and punched the air.
A feeble Eight Trigrams: Vacuum Palm, but under the Heavenly Vision of the Byakugan, its power was greatly enhanced.
The Impure World Reincarnation form of White Fang wavered, causing the balance of the Shinra Tensei to falter. Yuto twisted, slipping out like a fish, narrowly avoiding White Zetsu's reinforced shuriken attack.
Shinosuke and Meiko arrived just in time, desperately tangling with White Fang and Nagato. Yuto's legs tensed as he surged forward again.
White Zetsu was terrified. In a brief moment, he realized he was the last barrier between the enemy and Madara.
That Mangekyō Sharingan's power exploded fully, and Yuto felt his body become as heavy as a thousand pounds, struggling to lift a leg.
However, he didn't need to lift his leg now.
The blade handle roared, transforming into a golden humanoid, biting the blade and lunging at White Zetsu.
Swish!
The blade pierced from the left eye, destroying the Sharingan and penetrating White Zetsu's brain.
A flash of cold light; the ordinary kunai appeared once again.
Yuto's flawless Byakugan saw clearly. In just a few seconds, White Fang had pinned Shinosuke's corpse to the rock wall and was expressionlessly coming towards him.
Meiko's corpse was in worse shape, already missing a leg. However, under Yuto's control, the girl still desperately held onto Nagato's arm, bringing him closer.
Everything was going as planned.
"What a pity..." the branch family boy murmured, forming a seal.
The mutual-multiplying explosive tags sewn under Meiko's skin were instantly triggered by Yuto's chakra.
Boom...
Endless explosions roared in the underground world. Tens of thousands of mutual-multiplying explosive tags were summoned, multiplying exponentially. In the blink of an eye, they exploded continuously, creating a sea of fire and high temperatures.
Bang!
Yuto burst out of the sea of fire, with no obstacles ahead.
He grinned menacingly.
