Chapter 455: Uchiha Madara: Resurrected, Preparing to Dance

"Warrior... is that what you call me? It is quite fitting."

Zuo Qianhu nodded slightly. As a general of the imperial court, his experience in constant slaughter against foreign races had tempered his physical body and honed his Qi and blood; he was indeed similar to a martial artist of the pugilistic world, so being called a 【Warrior】 was not inappropriate.

The 【Warrior】 skills were all sword techniques and battle formations he had practiced himself, though there was one rather strange skill at the end.

【Courage and Gall Lv. max】: Immune to most mental manipulation skills. (If the level gap is too large, the probability and intensity of immunity decrease.) "Among the street markets and alleys, there are indeed rumors about courage and gall..."

Courage and gall can also be called essence, Qi, and spirit; those who possess it in abundance can ward off a hundred ghosts, and evil spirits dare not approach them.

"But I never expected that this strange light screen could observe a flesh-and-blood body down to the finest detail and then display it."

Zuo Qianhu continued to study and think carefully, as a segment of information regarding the Samsara Game seemed to have appeared in his mind.

After a long while, the imperial general, who would not change his expression even when facing evil ghosts, let out a deep breath.

"There is actually such a thing?"

Zuo Qianhu licked his parched lips and drew the short sword he had snatched at random when fleeing the imperial capital.

Pfft.

The short sword pierced into his left arm without the slightest hesitation, the tip of the blade emerging through the flesh.

Drip, drop, the beads of blood trailed down the tip of the blade onto the ground.

Zuo Qianhu was expressionless, whispering to himself: "Very real pain; is this not an illusion of Pudu Cihang?"

Although he possessed the passive ability 【Courage and Gall】, which immunized him against most of the Soul-Taking Sanskrit Sound.

But in truth, it was because Pudu Cihang had not exerted full force at the beginning, treating Zuo Qianhu as an ordinary person.

Later, Pudu Cihang never left the imperial palace, but simply dispatched dozens of centipede spirits to hunt him down, which repeatedly caused him to fall into hallucinations.

Yet each time, Zuo Qianhu was able to break free quickly.

That was why his wariness had become so severe, even to the point of resorting to self-mutilation to verify the authenticity of the Samsara Game.

"All deliberation is futile; I will know once I try."

The thought he originally had of continuing his flight and seeking out a Warlock was extinguished by him.

He nimbly leaped onto a treetop, using the dense branches to conceal his figure.

Soon,

two centipede spirits disguised as living people tracked him by scent.

They were draped in red monk robes, and although their mouths held smiles, their gazes were cold, lacking even a shred of humanity.

Zuo Qianhu would absolutely not mistake them.

"Kill!"

The two centipede spirits were still puzzled, having caught Zuo Qianhu's scent but failing to find his figure.

Then they heard a roar from above.

Just as they looked up, a short sword had already slashed into the head of the centipede spirit on the left.

Clang.

The short sword collided with the skull, surprisingly emitting the sound of metal striking metal.

The sharp, high-quality short sword was actually chipped and its edge rolled.

But the centipede spirit's head was also split open like a coconut shell, revealing a writhing black centipede.

"It seems Pudu Cihang must be the largest centipede spirit!"

Zuo Qianhu was expressionless; he spread his five fingers and reached into the skull, grabbed the black centipede, and ripped it apart by force.

【Killed low-level centipede spirit, Reward Point*21, Experience Value*23】

The other centipede spirit turned its head; although its appearance was human, it was ultimately a disguise, and the cold-blooded nature of a reptile left it without a shred of pity after its companion's death.

It opened its mouth wide, black centipede serrations growing from the corners of its lips, and bit toward Zuo Qianhu.

Clang.

Zuo Qianhu raised his short sword to block the serrations that shimmered with a metallic black luster.

The next second, the short sword shattered, snapped by the serrations, and fragments of the blade flew everywhere.

Zuo Qianhu hurriedly withdrew his palm to avoid being touched by the serrations that could even bite through iron.

At the same time, he was quick-eyed and nimble-handed, grabbing a fragment of the broken sword.

He gripped it tightly.

Regardless of the blade fragment slicing his palm and blood gushing out, he backhanded it into the centipede spirit's eye socket.

The centipede spirit was disguised within the corpse; at this moment, its eyeball was blinded, and it could not observe the situation outside.

Zuo Qianhu seized the chance to fly up and kick the centipede spirit to the ground, then picked up the black centipede that had been ripped out and lashed down with it like an iron whip. With the full-force whip of the imperial general, the centipede spirit's head was sent flying, rolling onto the ground as a black centipede crawled out, swaying.

Bang.

Zuo Qianhu stomped down.

【Killed low-level centipede spirit, Reward Point*28, Experience Value*30】

Notification: Player level increased to Lv. 2, rewarded with 【4】 free Attribute Points.

Following the game guide,

Zuo Qianhu allocated the upgraded free attribute points into the 【Strength】 and 【Constitution】 attributes.

Feeling the strength suddenly surging within his body, he burst into loud laughter: "Pudu Cihang, I will be able to return to find you very soon!"

Ninja World.

Shimura Danzou, draped in Monkey Skin, said with a gloomy expression: "To think that a guy from the Navy Alliance managed to get the first kill of the new season's Dark Gold boss; what a disgrace!"

After ambushing and killing Hiruzen Sarutobi to become the Hokage.

The thing he wanted to do most was to surpass the past Hokages, especially that spineless Hiruzen Sarutobi, so that he could be justified and not afraid even if his identity were exposed.

But things went contrary to expectations.

The hunt for the World-Class Boss 【Corpse Flood Dragon】 failed, snatched away by magic-armored warriors and archers from another world, along with some trashy pink-haired person.

Planning for the new season, yet the first kill was snatched away by the Navy again.

If things continue like this, flaws will truly be exposed, and if the guys from the Ninja Clan and the Mobile Unit see through the clues, the consequences will be very serious.

"Lord Hokage, the Navy Alliance is the strongest force in the Samsara Game; it is not strange for them to hunt a Dark Gold-level boss."

"That's right, calm your anger!"

The Clan Heads had different expressions, all looking left and right to change the subject, completely refusing to take a stance.

Asuma took a deep breath and said: "The Navy Alliance has issued a bounty; with the help of the strongest force, the Fire Empire can definitely be breached."

Konoha being destroyed and them being driven out of the Land of Fire is the eternal pain of everyone present.

Now is the perfect opportunity to kill Orochimaru and destroy the Fire Empire.

"I also support attacking the Fire Empire."

Regarding the hatred for Orochimaru, Shimura Danzou was in no way inferior to anyone present; without needing to consider too much, he finalized the plan to attack the Fire Empire.

At the same time, in a dark corner of the ninja world, the Uchiha wearing an orange spiral mask threw a ninja caught in Genjutsu into the formation.

Then, he slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Edo Tensei!"

Sheets of paper resembling ash covered the ninja's body until the ninja was completely transformed into another person.

Old-fashioned red armor from the Sengoku era, a black battle robe, and messy long black hair.

And... slowly rotating black Tomoe.

"In a normal Edo Tensei, when the caster has not lifted the restrictions, the deceased cannot move freely..."

Uchiha Obito scratched his head and exclaimed: "Even though I have just mastered Edo Tensei and am not yet proficient, to be able to break free from my control, you truly live up to your name, Lord Madara."

Sensing the mental control being broken, he retreated two steps.

"Edo Tensei?"

Looking at his body, which had fine cracks like a pottery figure, Madara frowned and asked: "Didn't I say to use the Samsara Heavenly Life Technique to resurrect me?"

To others, an 【Edo Tensei Roushin】 has very powerful advantages: infinite chakra and an Edo paper body that automatically recovers when injured.

But Madara had long since surpassed the limits of Edo Tensei.

This kind of incomplete body is a shackle, a restraint; it is fundamentally unable to fully display his peak power.

Facing the questioning Madara, Obito appeared flustered, but it looked more like a fake posture intentionally put on, and he scratched his head: "I really wanted to follow the agreement and use the Samsara Heavenly Life Technique to resurrect you, but... during the time you were dead, the ninja world underwent very large changes."

"Hmph, could it be that Nagato has rebelled?"

Madara was expressionless, moving his stiff body, and said confidently: "Forget it, everything doesn't matter; even with the incomplete body of Edo Tensei, I can accomplish anything."

Senju Hashirama is already dead; in this ninja world, no one can stop him.

"Although you might get angry hearing this, in the current ninja world, with your strength, you are at most at a mid-tier level; if you run around, you might get killed..."

"???"
