Chapter 286: I, Uchiha Madara, Have Come Back to Life! (3k)

Bai Cangshu touched his waist and abdomen, where the flesh and blood seemed to have been gouged out of thin air.

This kind of injury was far harder to deal with than ordinary cuts or lacerations; even for a Transcendent Creature with his High-speed Regeneration, it would consume more energy.

Of course, with Bai Cangshu's current Transcendent bloodline traits of 【Intermediate Immortality】 combined with 【High-speed Regeneration】, this attack could not be called fatal at all.

Within the few seconds it took to land from the air, his shoulder, which had been annihilated by Dust Release, and the parts that had disappeared due to Kamui, had already begun to regenerate; at this moment, bone and flesh had already appeared, and one could even see the granulation tissue on the flesh continuously weaving into skin.

Uchiha Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan clearly possessed unparalleled insight; he frowned, for Tao Baibai's body could no longer be called human, and perhaps even the Senju Hashirama of the past had only been at this level of healing ability.

But even this ability was no longer enough to make Obito feel fear today.

He lowered his head, not looking at Tao Baibai, and simply immersed himself in that surging tide of emotion.

So it wasn't just him who was trapped and died on that day; that once-dazzling genius Kakashi had also been trapped in the past by himself and Rin.

Obito looked at the blood on his palms, a moment of confusion appearing on his face.

Pfft!

A wisp of Force broke through the air, piercing Obito's body and punching a hole in the tree trunk.

Uchiha Obito's body was completely unaffected by this attack; he merely raised his head and looked at Bai Cangshu coldly.

"Tao Baibai, you who have never experienced this kind of pain, surely cannot understand my desire to recreate the world..."

Bai Cangshu saw Uchiha Obito's posture, as if he were already invincible, and how he was completely immersed in his own emotional world, even feeling sorrow for himself because of the fact that he had killed his own friend...

This excellent attitude of self-centeredness that transcended narcissism made the corners of his mouth curl up bit by bit.

"Tsk, unable to save the woman you admired because of weakness, killing your best friend because of the pursuit of power, yet still only feeling a sorrow as if the world had deceived you... Ha, Uchiha Obito, you really are an interesting guy."

Bai Cangshu's body had fully recovered by now; he shoved his hands into his pockets, his tall frame leaning forward slightly, his soles gripping the ground as he exercised his muscles in this way.

"Besides, if you really want that woman so much, why not just use Edo Tensei to summon her back from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss? It's not as if the technique to bring the dead back to life doesn't exist in this world, right~"

Bai Cangshu's tone was casual, but Uchiha Obito's expression turned gloomy bit by bit.

What he disliked most was this flippancy of Tao Baibai's, who didn't take anyone's pain seriously at all; although he also liked to flippantly toy with others when playing the role of Afei, now that it was his and Rin's matter being teased like this, he felt that Tao Baibai's existence was already an eyesore.

Uchiha Obito finally turned around, his eyes focused on Tao Baibai.

"Tao Baibai, put away that arrogant look of yours; don't you understand yet? The current me..."

Obito spread his hands, seemingly wanting to display his power.

But Bai Cangshu interrupted him directly, continuing his sarcasm in an exaggerated tone.

"Doesn't the Rinnegan have the power to reverse life and death..."

"Orochimaru, who has mastered Edo Tensei, and Nagato, who currently possesses the Rinnegan, are both under your surveillance, yet you never thought about resurrecting the real Rin, instead thinking of using the Infinite Tsukuyomi to have a beautiful dream for yourself, tsk..."

Veins were already bulging on Obito's forehead, and the pupil power in his eyes was stronger than ever, but the more he showed this expression, the more delighted Bai Cangshu became, continuing to "dance on a minefield."

"I say, is it because you yourself know clearly that that Rin didn't like you at all, and would never accept everything you thought you were doing for her after she died?"

"Heh, how truly miserable..."

Hum!

Unable to endure it any longer, Uchiha Obito's eyes narrowed, his Shuriken-like Mangekyo Sharingan focused in an instant, and the space where Bai Cangshu's head was located twisted instantly.

As the true owner of these eyes, the speed at which Obito cast Kamui to twist space was much faster than Hatake Kakashi.

But Bai Cangshu still disappeared in an instant; his Instant state had not yet ended, and his speed had long since crossed the threshold of the 【Wind Demon】, so he merely leaned backward and escaped into the wind.

The space-twisting attack only took away a few strands of his hair.

Bai Cangshu drifted in the wind, Uchiha Obito's pupils trembling slightly, his Mangekyo Sharingan completely locking onto the surrounding space.

It was undeniable that with the blessing of the dual-Kamui Mangekyo, Uchiha Obito's combat power had instantly soared to a level that almost surpassed all Shadow Level ninjas of the time.

And because of the high priority of Kamui and the special nature of space-type abilities, even those with combat power above his would find it difficult to defeat him.

In the gale, leg shadows pierced through Obito's body from time to time, but even with a high-speed attack technique like the Wind God Leg, there was still the possibility of being countered by Kamui during the attack.

After reclaiming that eye from Kakashi, Obito was already able to use Kamui to attack while in his own Voidification state; he no longer had any weaknesses.

It could be said that the current Uchiha Obito was already standing in an invincible position when facing the normal attacks of this world.

Except for those truly at the Six Paths Level, even the current Bai Cangshu could not break Obito's dual Kamui.

Even though Bai Cangshu knew that the dual Kamui consumed a massive amount of Chakra, Uchiha Obito, possessing Hashirama Cells, could fully sustain a battle for about 10 minutes; for him, this amount of time allowed him to advance or retreat at will, and the initiative always remained in Obito's hands.

Bai Cangshu appeared from the wind, suddenly waved at Obito, and then turned to flash toward the area in the distance where the golden light was almost illuminating the entire mountain range.

To reduce consumption, Obito used Wood Release to attack several times, but it could not cause much impact on Tao Baibai; he understood now that Tao Baibai must be wanting to use that giant monster to fight him.

But for himself, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Bachi Niugui existing on that battlefield was likewise a combat force within his reach.

Moreover, if he wanted to preserve the possibility of continuing the Eye of the Moon plan, Bachi Niugui must absolutely not be devoured by the Golden Tree again.

He had to go to this battle.

As Uchiha Obito leaped, he followed Tao Baibai's footsteps and quickly returned to the chaotic battlefield, where the scent of blood was already quite thick at the center.

Those warriors of the Golden Order camp, gathered from ordinary people and various small Ninja Villages, did not hide like the ninjas of the Rock Hidden Village, and were directly caught in the aftermath of that massive-range prayer from the Elden Beast.

Afterward, they were trampled by Gyuki and swept up by the attacks of the Fourth Raikage and the giant beast, almost being wiped out entirely.

The ninjas and residents of the Konoha side had already filled the gaps and appeared on the front line.

Uchiha Obito looked at those ninjas under the Golden Order who had lost their fear of death, his gaze growing increasingly cold.

"You should know, Tao Baibai, that guys of this level are useless to me."

He saw the Hyuga Clan ninjas in the crowd, and he also saw the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan, but he just stood where he was, wanting to know what Tao Baibai's goal really was.

Bai Cangshu stomped in the air a few times, appeared from the sky, and as he slowly descended, he saw the two camps on the field clearly; then, with a cruel smile, Bai Cangshu closed his eyes.

The next moment, pitch-black ghosts appeared on his face continuously, and his state also began to flicker uncertainly.

Uchiha Obito frowned and was about to launch an attack, but suddenly saw Tao Baibai open his eyes again.

Those eyes were initially a bit dazed, but soon, the joy and madness in his gaze began to show fully.

"Hahahaha~ Hahaha..."

That kind of loud laughter made Obito perceive a sense of familiarity, a feeling that made him inexplicably creeped out.

He narrowed his left eye, and the distorted space instantly severed Tao Baibai's right arm; amidst the spraying blood, the opponent laughed even more maniacally.

"This blood, this pain... this is the taste of being alive!"

The tingling sensation as the arm muscles rapidly underwent Regeneration made Uchiha Madara realize once again the power of this body.

This was a body even more powerful than the ninja physique he had possessed while traversing the Zhan Guo era; he instinctively wanted to gather Chakra, but the right half of his face changed expression involuntarily.

"Hey, hey, hey, big brother laughing so loudly, your smile is a bit too hearty, isn't it..."

Amidst the lighthearted remark, eyes like the blue sky and white clouds appeared in the right eye socket.

Uchiha Madara's smile gradually faded; he found it unbearable that he actually had to share a body with another person.

He shifted his gaze, and the next moment, he lowered his figure and instantly lunged into the group of Konoha ninjas; as a barrage of Kunai and Ninja Arts attacked, Uchiha Madara dodged skillfully, only to discover that the speed and strength of this body far exceeded his imagination.

So much so that he didn't need to use Ninja Arts at all; simple taijutsu could easily kill the enemies.

He rushed past an Uchiha ninja, and the frequency at which the opponent's Two-Tomoe Sharingan trembled allowed Uchiha Madara to judge the opponent's thoughts; with just a slight shift in position, he deceived the opponent, then delivered a hand-blade strike to sever the opponent's cervical spine.

He casually plucked off the opponent's eyes.

"Tsk, are the eyes of your clan this convenient to use?"

Because two Souls were currently squeezed onto the Heart Throne, the two could almost read each other's thoughts, and Gojo Satoru complained again.

At the same time, he also felt some regret in his heart; he had known that guy couldn't possibly reveal such a flaw, yet he had still taken the bait.

Sure enough, his host was not someone easy to deal with; the flaw revealed was a trap, and the other party had likely intentionally released him and this Uchiha Madara.

Or rather, both of them were pressed onto this Heart Throne together.

There was no possibility of a single-person possession, yet in the current situation, it seemed impossible for the two of them not to follow the other party's wishes and not to have a big fight.

In a short amount of time, Gojo Satoru had already noticed that, apart from the two giant monsters still fighting, everyone else's gaze was focused on him.

Especially that guy who also had scarlet eyes; the look in his eyes when he stared at him was mixed with distrust and fear.

Before Gojo Satoru could speak, Uchiha Madara seized control of the mouth again.

"Obito, as you can see, I, Uchiha Madara, have returned to life."
