Chapter 131: The Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind Who Was Nearly Wiped Out in One Net

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Senior Madara Uchiha, your performance is truly shameful. Is that all it takes to break you?"

With a hint of mockery in his tone, Uchiha Feiyu looked at his disheveled opponent and spoke lightly.

The aged Madara Uchiha stood up shakily. Having encountered such a shameless brat, the old man finally understood what it meant for a phoenix that has lost its feathers to be worse than a chicken.

"Brat... if I were twenty-some years younger, you would already be a dead man!"

"Heh, Senior, spare me such harsh words. I've only heard that one should not bully a poor youth, but never that one should not bully a poor old man. I am still a youth with infinite potential; in another twenty years, perhaps I could suppress you, the Ninja World Asura, with one hand..."

"But if you were to live another twenty years... I could only sigh that the dead are to be respected!"

"Pfft..."

Madara Uchiha was so angry that a mouthful of blood surged up. It took him a long time to suppress the rage in his chest. He looked at Uchiha Feiyu and spoke coldly:

"Brat, it seems you don't want to trade with me! When you truly feel your Mangekyo's ocular power fading away completely and your eyes going blind bit by bit, you will know what despair is!"

"Sorry, there are few people in this world who can force me to use the Mangekyo. As long as I don't use the Mangekyo, naturally, I won't go blind."

Uchiha Feiyu chuckled, then looked at Madara Uchiha with a look full of sarcasm:

"Besides... isn't it just Hashirama Cell? Senior, you don't think you're the only one in this world who can research such things, do you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Feiyu's hands were already pressed together again. A vast, unimaginably active chakra surged out from his body.

The earth began to tremble once more. Countless tree branches stretched out from the ground, coiling around each other and expanding continuously, forming one bulge after another.

"Impossible... how is this possible?... Hashirama Cell absolutely cannot do such a thing!"

Yes, the reason Uchiha Feiyu created the Thousand-Armed Buddha was merely to empower the Great Dao Treasure Bottle of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, using this method to absorb everything inside Madara Uchiha clean.

As the tremors grew, the entire mountain peak in front of Madara Uchiha was obscured by a shadow. A gargantuan Buddha slowly emerged from the earth. In just a short minute or two, a Buddha statue of unimaginable size, standing over a thousand meters tall, appeared before him.

At the same time, a head like a mountain peak slowly grew from beneath the ground; the bulges on the surface were merely the hair on that head.

With Uchiha Feiyu's Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art Secret Technique, even during Madara Uchiha's peak, he could have drained everything clean; it would just have taken a bit of time.

At this moment, every hand of the giant Thousand-Armed Buddha formed the Treasure Bottle Seal. The chakra circulating within the Buddha statue formed a phantom of an exquisite Great Dao Treasure Bottle in the sky, sucking downwards.

Only Senju Hashirama himself had truly unleashed the True Several Thousand Hands! No matter how others obtained Wood Release power, what they could unleash was merely a degraded Wood Release.

Faced with this incredible transformation, even Madara Uchiha's mind went astray, even thinking about the combination of Senju and Uchiha.

"Not bad, it is indeed Wood Release, and not just ordinary Wood Release..."

The expression on Madara Uchiha's face changed drastically, yet Uchiha Feiyu spoke with a chuckle:

The aged Madara Uchiha had no power to resist and was directly sucked into the Great Dao Treasure Bottle. At the same time, the White Zetsu scattered around and the massive Demonic Statue of the Outer Path were likewise twisted and absorbed by the power of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.

"I think, Senior, since you are Senju Hashirama's nemesis, you must have a deep impression of this move—Wood Release—Top Transcendent Buddha—True Several Thousand Hands!!"

"Huh! Black Zetsu, this guy, was he hiding in Madara Uchiha's shadow all along?"

Madara Uchiha was completely stunned. Is this the effect of Hashirama Cell? Don't f*cking joke around. Even if you replaced every cell in your body with Hashirama Cell, it would be absolutely impossible to develop Wood Release to this extent!

"Wait... this chakra... this chakra full of life... could it be Wood Release?"

Only the Indra Chakra hidden in the deepest part of Madara Uchiha's soul was something Uchiha Feiyu could not guarantee 100% to absorb with the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art. This was not a flaw in the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art Secret Technique, but merely that Uchiha Feiyu's own cultivation was not yet perfect.

Could this brat actually be the crystallization of Senju and Uchiha...

But before the old guy could think any further, Uchiha Feiyu, standing atop the giant Buddha, waved his hand:

"It's over, Madara... old man, time to drop the gold coins!"

That was why he needed to rely on the True Several Thousand Hands Buddha to empower the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, using this clever method to forcibly push the Great Dao Treasure Bottle to a higher realm, hoping to completely drain Madara Uchiha.

Uchiha Feiyu looked down with a slightly surprised expression. He saw a black shadow below constantly twisting and trembling; that was exactly where Madara Uchiha's original shadow had been.

Yet, faced with the suction force of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, even a special life form like Black Zetsu had no great resistance. In the end, to save his life, this guy directly separated a part of his body; the vast majority was sucked into the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, and only a wisp of black smoke disappeared into the ground.

Uchiha Feiyu's hands flew through seals, and the thousand-meter-tall Buddha below also waved its countless arms, forming thousands of different hand seals. The treasure bottle in the sky flashed with a rosy light and finally turned from virtual to real, condensing into a true treasure bottle.

"Yin Release to create matter... fortunately I have this move. I can completely seal Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path into the treasure bottle, and spend time slowly refining and absorbing them."

"Hmm... Madara Uchiha, this guy didn't even use Izanagi? Is it because he's too old? No... it's probably because he knew very well that he had no chance to escape at all!"

Only then did Uchiha Feiyu let out a long breath.

Killing Madara Uchiha was easy. Not to mention that Madara Uchiha had now lost his Rinnegan and was in an extremely aged state, even at his peak, as long as he hadn't awakened the Rinnegan and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Uchiha Feiyu was confident he could win.

But for Feiyu, the most important thing was not just winning against Madara Uchiha, but completely absorbing his Origin clean.

This required Uchiha Feiyu not only to capture Madara Uchiha alive but also to completely seal him. Otherwise, with Uchiha Feiyu's current level of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art Secret Technique, it would be very difficult to obtain the Indra Chakra.

As for the small part of Black Zetsu that escaped, Uchiha Feiyu didn't care much. Without Madara Uchiha, it wouldn't be so easy for that black thing to stir up trouble in the Ninja World.

After sweeping up Madara Uchiha and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in one go, Uchiha Feiyu didn't want to waste any more time. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique along the way and returned to Sunagakure in less than a day.

After that, Uchiha Feiyu entered a state of seclusion, holding the treasure bottle he had created, slowly absorbing the Origin inside bit by bit.

The Ninja World War was still ongoing, but it no longer had much to do with the Sand Ninja who had withdrawn from the war. With no one to disturb him, Uchiha Feiyu spent two full years before he finally absorbed the Origin in the treasure bottle clean.

Besides Madara Uchiha, the most important big prize was actually the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Although the chakra inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had been drained, its essence had not changed in the slightest; it was still that God Tree capable of draining a planet's energy and converting all things into chakra.

Madara Uchiha's Origin allowed Uchiha Feiyu to directly awaken the Rinnegan, while the Origin of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path quite simply gave him the divine ability to absorb the energy of all things in heaven and earth.

That was the most essential power of the God Tree, and to a certain extent, it was the most fundamental power of all Otsutsuki. However, although the Otsutsuki Clan could herd planets using the God Tree, they themselves did not possess this terrifying ability.

Otherwise, the Otsutsuki wouldn't need to carry the God Tree to search for planets, nor would they need to plant the God Tree and wait for it to bear a Chakra Fruit; they themselves could drain a planet's energy dry.

"Pity... Black Zetsu, this Otsutsuki, is too incomplete. It couldn't give me an Otsutsuki physique as well... Now, I probably belong to an Indra who has undergone Otsutsuki atavism, and at the same time, I possess the characteristics of the God Tree."

This level of power was certainly quite monstrous, but it was still a long way from being invincible. At the very least, Uchiha Feiyu had not reached the Six Paths Level in terms of pure energy.

After all, he only absorbed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Although his essence and potential had increased significantly, the chakra in his body had not increased much. If he were to absorb all the Tailed Beasts later, he would be able to become Otsutsuki Feiyu.

As for now... it's nothing major. Spending another dozen years or so, the "great medicines" he had released alone would be enough to gather sufficient chakra for him.

Ultimately, after Uchiha Feiyu consumed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, his essence had long since reached the Six Paths Level; what he lacked was merely a replenishment of chakra.

Even if he did nothing, just by absorbing Natural Energy, it would take a hundred years to replenish his own power completely.

He walked out of the room slowly. Although it was called seclusion, Uchiha Feiyu clearly hadn't found some deep mountain forest to hide in and cultivate without sleep or rest.

On the contrary, he lived in the most luxurious house in Sunagakure. In his daily life, he didn't toil in cultivation all day, but balanced work and rest, with people specifically assigned to attend to his clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Two years have passed, and the Land of Wind, which has been undergoing Wood Release transformation, has now undergone earth-shaking changes.

Although the climate and environment of the entire Land of Wind have not yet reached the level of the Land of Fire, most of the original desert has turned into savanna, the area of the former oases has expanded more than tenfold, and the overall environment is no longer inferior to the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

With the change in the national environment, coupled with sufficient funding, the strength of Sunagakure has recovered by more than half in the few years since the war.

In terms of high-level combat power, it is perhaps even a notch stronger than when the Ninja World War first began; Sunagakure now has three Shadow-level Ninja: Pakura, Karura, and Xia Rixing, as well as the Perfect Jinchuriki Uzumaki Kana, and as for ninja at the Elite Jonin level, there are nearly 40.

Among them, the vast majority of Elite Jonin are women, and they are all Cauldron for Uchiha Feiyu; as his strength progresses, the bonus to the female side during Dual Cultivation is also increasing.

Among the more than 40 Elite Jonin, the number of male ninja is not even ten; although men still occupy a dominant position among the lower ranks, when Sunagakure holds high-level meetings, one would find that those sitting in the main seats are all women.

Regarding this, the male ninja of Sunagakure can only sigh, for who else but the Kazekage developed the "strengthening ninjutsu" that is only effective for women?

In private, some Sand Ninja are even discussing whether Sunagakure will have to change its name to Female Ninja Village if things continue this way.

After leaving his residence, Uchiha Feiyu took a stroll, looked at the scenery, and then continued walking toward the Kazekage Building.

Pushing open the door to the Kazekage Office, Pakura, who was busy processing various documents, was slightly stunned upon hearing the sound of the door opening, and she hurriedly looked up, just in time to see Uchiha Feiyu smiling at the doorway.

"Feiyu!"

Pakura rushed over excitedly, squeezed herself into Uchiha Feiyu's arms, and immediately lifted her head to offer a sweet kiss.

Uchiha Feiyu chuckled, and with one hand, he patted and kneaded the fleshy area behind Pakura.

Pakura's face turned slightly red, she let out a soft moan, and her whole body went limp.

"Don't... don't do this... there are still people here..."

This Fifth Kazekage lay in Uchiha Feiyu's arms, panting softly as she spoke; however, Uchiha Feiyu just chuckled and increased the strength in his hand:

"You knew there were people here and you still ran over to kiss me? You're the one who started this fire!"

"Wuu... I... I couldn't help it~, Feiyu, you haven't come to see me for the past few days..."

"Hehe, so aren't I here now? I'll make sure to feed you well, you little glutton!"

"Wait... not here... someone is watching..."

"Don't worry, those irrelevant people have long since fallen under my Genjutsu and can't see anything at all... Don't you think this is more exciting?"

Pakura, who was already limp in Uchiha Feiyu's arms, felt as if her body were burning after hearing these words.

Holding the infatuated Pakura, Uchiha Feiyu placed her directly onto the Kazekage's desk, and then he snapped his fingers, causing the two men in the Kazekage Office to walk out with dazed expressions.

Aside from these two men, the only ones left in the Kazekage Office were four young female ninja; seeing Uchiha Feiyu place Pakura on the desk, these female ninja not only had no intention of stopping him, but instead walked over with flushed faces, first serving Uchiha Feiyu by taking off his clothes, and then giggling as they crowded around.
