Chapter 211: Artificial Ten-Tails!

Leaf Village, inside a hidden laboratory.

When the glow of chakra flashed, Senju Clan ZhuZhang let out a deep breath slowly, and the next moment they slowly opened their eyes.

The normal whites of the eyes were no longer gray; the lively pupils proved that they were now a living person, not an Impure Earth Reincarnation.

Their breathing was even yet seemed somewhat greedy, as if someone who had been drowning for a long time finally inhaled fresh air; after a while they finally showed a smile.

"It looks like a full resurrection, everyone."

"Then that's good."

Senju Clan FeiJian heard his older brother's words and couldn't help but sigh in relief; even so, such a resurrection was no longer something miraculous to them.

But this time it concerned his brother, so they had to take it seriously no matter what!

Moreover, this resurrection also required verification of something: how the white lifeforms that Yuzhi brought back were.

Yuzhi once again, without any explanation, ran out alone; this situation truly made Senju Clan FeiJian deeply resent.

But no matter how upset they were, they could only hold it in, because Yuzhi is the Hokage, and the most special Hokage right now!

Whatever they do, others can only listen honestly; besides, what Yuzhi brought back this time was far from ordinary.

Senju Clan ZhuZhang clenched their fist and said with a smile.

Moreover, in the original story DaYeMu truly blocked a meteor; Yuzhi also gave them a chance.

Yuzhi took this time to deliver a 'heavy punch' at Obito, and the result was that Obito was stunned, even having two white absolute bodies excavated by Yuzhi.

"What a pity, we can't meet that Madara."

"Me."

Yuzhi was originally watching the scene quietly on the side, but after hearing FeiJian's words, they couldn't help rolling their eyes.

"Thank you, Fifth, but I heard your operation this time seems a bit..."

His words made Hikari, standing nearby, bite her lip; she thought Yuzhi was getting too into the role.

It's just that this meteor is probably more than three times the size of the one in the original.

DaYeMu and those people really gave their lives; not only DaYeMu, but all Cloud Village ninjas at this moment had to unite tightly.

And that unparalleled figure, who once crushed Madara Uchiha and founded Leaf Village, Senju Clan ZhuZhang!

This time Yuzhi's operation actually brought back a living being; that's certainly not ordinary news, at least it can properly verify the possibility of resurrecting their older brother!

With such a body, that's how Senju Clan ZhuZhang can be resurrected!

Madara Uchiha's deeds in Cloud Village had long been reported to Leaf Village by a spy, so they naturally knew about that little game.

"Alright, after all that Madara isn't from our world, whatever he intends..."

Obito might truly suffer, after all Obito is the one who will 'resurrect Madara Uchiha' in the future, giving that guy a little motivation.

The meteor Yuzhi summoned was massive, yet its mass seemed 'quite ordinary', exploding with the combined power of three shadows and the whole village.

Yuzhi's little game wasn't hard; they gave DaYeMu and three others five minutes to deal with the continuously falling meteor.

They had previously had some white biological tissues derived from their older brother's cells, but they had never actually seen what a lifeform truly looked like.

Hearing their older brother's words, FeiJian finally let out a long sigh, and at that moment excitement flashed in their eyes.

But Senju Clan FeiJian was also a bit worried, because they doubted whether the resurrected one could reach the pinnacle.

'Heaven-Blocking Earth-Shaking Star' is a high-level application of the Reincarnation Eye; even Nagato couldn't wield such power.

ZhuZhang clenched their fist, feeling their own overwhelming power, and looked at Yuzhi with a smile.

"Older brother, how do you feel now?"

"It's like I'm in my thirties; this feeling is truly indescribable."

"Fifth, are those things still there?"

Of course, after all DaYeMu managed it in the original, so Yuzhi 'slightly' increased the difficulty.

"Hmph, that villain doing whatever..."

Although shattering the meteor would cause countless stone fragments to fall and damage the village, no one dares to say what would happen if such a meteor were to strike.

Their older brother being able to recover to this extent is truly a huge piece of good news!

Their gaze involuntarily turned to Yuzhi, who was watching the scene, and a strange glint flickered in their eyes.

"You really think it's wholesale, and I already said it wasn't me who got it, it was Madara Uchiha who got it."

Because their older brother is too strong, it's truly beyond what others can handle!

He didn't, like Madara, directly drop two meteors; he only ever released one meteor.

Various ninjutsu, concealed weapons, and explosive seals whistled toward the meteor, aiming to shatter it!

This was Yuzhi's use of their 'deceleration' ability, also a test and application of their Reincarnation Eye.

The meteor was ultimately shattered and never formed a 'Mount Tai pressing down' straight onto Cloud Village, and while they were attacking the meteor, Yuzhi was not merely watching the whole time.

And the facts proved that using those living beings seemed truly beneficial; their older brother was no longer the goofy, watermelon-headed youngster they once saw.

"Although power is limited, the resonance of combined strength still yields a decent effect; besides, the meteors summoned by the Reincarnation Eye remain somewhat fragile."

After retreating to a relatively safe spot, they risked their lives to coordinate in order to protect their village from being destroyed in one blow.

"Very well, although there's no endless chakra like the Impure Earth Reincarnation, I can now feel my condition seems better."

However, the meteors summoned by 'Heaven-Blocking Earth-Shaking Star' still have somewhat inferior mass, or rather the summoned meteors are essentially random, not condensed by the caster.

Senju Clan FeiJian let out a cold snort, their attitudes showing some displeasure; Yuzhi could only shrug.

Although Yuzhi thought about these chaotic things inside, they still had to explain it out loud.

"Our plan and his are similar, but there's still a huge gap, isn't there?"

"Hmph, doesn't he know that Cloud Village will later be ours?"

FeiJian was clearly still a bit upset, but seeing their older brother's gaze, they finally chose to stay silent.

Their older brother, it's best not to provoke him.

And ZhuZhang, seeing his younger brother calm down, did not say anything further.

After all, they're not from his own world; at most he would just complain that the attack was too harsh, and moreover, if he were to speak truly, he would have to thank others.

His resurrection was thanks to the materials provided by others!

Moreover, with his complete revival, he couldn't help but keep muttering about another matter in his mind.

"Madara, I am already prepared. What about you?"

——

Late at night, the moonlight was hazy.

In the Underground Laboratory of the Uchiha Clan, Madara Uchiha slowly lifted his head, and his eyes snapped open at that moment.

In an instant, his eyes, bearing obvious Edo Tensei markings, turned into the Sharingan, then the Eternal Mangekyo, and finally became the Rinnegan!

A fierce aura surged within him, and at that moment he seemed to truly return to his peak.

"Looks good, doesn't it?"

When his aura steadied, Yuzhi's voice sounded beside him.

"Although not fully revived, this aura and this amount of chakra are already quite strong.

Not bad; even when facing the newly revived First Hokage, I think you still have the strength for a fight."

"It's not enough; everything now is still far from enough."

Madara heard Yuzhi's voice, gently shook his head in disagreement, and couldn't help muttering under his breath.

"Not enough, far from enough; what I've seen is still far off, this is still insufficient!"

Yuzhi, hearing Madara's words, pursed his lips; this guy's standards for himself were indeed unusually high.

But Yuzhi also knew that the main reason for this thinking was him!

"I want to ask you a question."

Just as Yuzhi was pondering, Madara beside him suddenly spoke.

"Do you want those so-called prophecies, or the information from other worlds that you previously mentioned, that Senju Fugami and others encountered?"

You're asking the wrong person, aren't you?

Yuzhi felt a bit sarcastic inside, but still nodded at Madara and, with a serious expression, said.

"As for the so-called prophecies and the bizarre information arising from temporal distortions, I've always remained skeptical about them.

Because, to me, whether it's fate or destiny, everything can be altered by my own hands and thoughts.

Thus those so-called pieces of information have never affected me, nor caused any misjudgment; on the contrary, they provide me with additional reference.

As long as their logic is sound and the causes and effects can be linked, I will naturally choose to believe, since this won't happen to me, right?"

Yuzhi's words made Madara pause briefly, but soon he nodded seriously, and his gaze grew even gloomier.

In another world, the 'Uchiha Madara' was fighting like a cat chasing a mouse when a sudden surge of chakra assaulted his brain.

In that instant, he felt someone had used genjutsu on him, but he quickly realized something was off.

Because he discovered he had arrived in another world, a very strange one, one that seemed to be proceeding according to his original plan toward success!

In that world, he displayed his power against the so‑called 'Ninja Alliance', and there he seemed to toy with the so‑called 'Five Kage'.

In that world, he saw ZhuZhang appear, and also witnessed many things he did not wish to see, yet could absolutely happen!

Obito obtained the Rinnegan and summoned the Ten‑Tails; this guy, filled with his own ideas, even chose to become the Ten‑Tails jinchuriki, intending to carry out the plan himself!

"What an idiot, you really think I don't know your thoughts?"

Madara, seeing this scene, couldn't help but shake his head, and the 'self' he possessed shared the exact same thought.

After Obito's failure, Black Zetsu seized Obito's body, and using Obito's power performed Rinne Tensei, causing his eyes to light up.

That aligns almost perfectly with his current thinking, but seriously, is Black Zetsu really okay?

However, the situation increasingly became hard to control; those two little brats he had let run wild actually turned into savior‑like beings.

The two of them now bore the entire ninja world on their shoulders, and they were the only ones capable of fighting him!

"Yuzhi couldn't have discovered those two brats' potential, and that's why he had me train them, right?"

Madara felt somewhat uneasy, and the power released by those two brats made him frown.

"Sasuke Uchiha is fine, but that Naruto Uzumaki seems odd—perhaps the power of a tailed beast?"

He's not a jinchuriki, yet his fighting style is very similar to the ways recorded in ancient texts for those Senju guys.

Madara thought silently, the Narutos of these two worlds have far too many differences; he's now somewhat curious.

What path will the Naruto of his own world—the kid he beat so badly he almost held his head and cried—take in the future?

And while he was pondering, he saw himself successfully cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, massive trees sprouting and suspending everyone upon them.

Bizarre chakra spread, everyone's will was stripped away, leaving only husks; this scene made his fists clench slightly.

This matched what Yuzhi said, and what he had read in the ancient texts on the moon, all too alike; now he increasingly felt that all of this might indeed be real.

When he saw himself reclaim all the Rinnegan and decide to have a final showdown with Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest.

Immediately after, he sensed all his chakra was sealed!

"You're wrong, Madara, you are not a savior; everything is still not over."

"Madara, you are actually in an illusory dream, one I painted for you!"

Listening to Black Zetsu, the immobilized Madara uttered the same question as that Madara.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Aren't you my will?"

"That's also wrong."

Black Zetsu's voice was hoarse, yet tinged with a hint of smugness.

"My will is Kaguya!"

Amid the roaring tide of chakra, Madara's consciousness was gradually engulfed, and a woman's will slowly descended, and in that instant Madara also left that so‑called prophecy!

"The will of Kaguya?"

Ban lowered his head, gently clenching his fist, recalling everything he had done in the "Prophecy," and he couldn't help but lightly shake his head.

If there were no Yuzhi, he would have done everything.

He knows himself well, and is clear about how he would act; even when he immerses himself, he finds that what he thinks and what manifests are almost identical!

And everything in the scene also proves Yuzhi's conjecture; this guy truly guessed everything down to the last detail.

And the mastermind behind all this is truly only that one, the one he has always confidently believed to be his own will, that damned rat‑like scoundrel!

Recalling how he was framed that way, recalling his own idiotic behavior, Ban's heart grew increasingly resentful.

But soon he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger.

"You're right. As long as it is logical, everything can be believed, but only as a reference."

Ban said in a low voice, his gaze turning to the distance.

"With these references we indeed have more options to consider, and I now know what to do."

At this point, his gaze turned outward, and that murderous intent continued to surround him.

"Please do one thing: if ZhuZhang asks about me, tell him it's not yet time for us to meet."

He paused briefly, and in an instant he vanished from the spot, leaving only a voice echoing.

"Next time we meet, we'll resolve some necessary issues."

——

"That guy finally left?"

"Hmm, why? Do you hate him?"

"Not really, just think he's a bit neurotic; his leaving isn't a bad thing."

Leaf Village, inside the Uchiha Clan's Underground Laboratory.

Hikari and Yuzhi sat together, watching Dou, who was resuming his busy work not far away, and they spoke intermittently.

Ban's departure wasn't something they cared much about, perhaps Hikari simply didn't like Ban, the "Impure Earth Reincarnation," staying at home all day.

Moreover, their home wasn't large; having a "light bulb" around all day was sometimes truly inconvenient for them.

Especially, it's still a corpse.

Now that the person is gone, things will probably improve, but Yuzhi gave Hikari a somewhat vague glance.

"Why does it feel like Hikari has been acting strange lately?"

Recently, to be precise, since they opened the Samsara Eye and returned from the Moon, he has noticed Hikari's condition has changed.

She has become more proactive than before, and the number of times she asks Yuzhi to "strive" has clearly increased!

To be honest, this change truly excited Yuzhi, but he also vaguely sensed some "pain" of a "married man" from his previous life.

They say a woman's "relatives" are an excuse before marriage and a harbor after; Yuzhi hadn't experienced that before his transmigration, and he was still at the stage where hearing about it gave him a headache.

Of course, his eyes would light up, because its departure means good times.

But once married, the situation may change; it's said that when a woman lets go of her restraint, she becomes especially terrifying.

Yuzhi sometimes wonders whether Hikari now counts as that.

"What nonsense are you thinking about now?"

Just as Yuzhi was about to ponder deeply, Hikari suddenly furrowed her brows and asked, instantly breaking Yuzhi's train of thought.

"No, why do you always assume the worst about me? That's wrong."

"As for you, I don't think there's anything wrong."

Hikari let out a light hum, then, looking at Dou's silhouette in the distance, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"If I recall correctly, this child has been with us for a long time, right?"

"Hmm, over ten years."

Yuzhi nodded; Dou and pharmacist Yano U have indeed been part of the Police Department's system for a long time.

Back then Dou was only five or six, and at that time Tuan Zang was still alive.

In the blink of an eye Dou has become an adult; Yuzhi suddenly feels a sense of things changed, but after glancing at Hikari he suddenly finds it amusing.

Because whether or not things have changed, he and Hikari still appear only seventeen or eighteen in looks!

Their appearances, unknown since when, have not changed at all, as if frozen at this stage.

Even Lin, their closest friend, shows some traces of time, albeit faint, especially since she has studied the Yin Seal.

The idea of "eternal Youth" has, in a way, been realized in the two of them.

"Does he still intend to keep him in the laboratory?"

Hikari looked at Yuzhi curiously and asked softly.

"Although he can do many things, I think for us now, the experiments he needs to conduct are probably few.

Even for Zhi Shui, we have ample personal experience with those matters; I think our experience can aid Zhi Shui.

So, do you plan to let him return to a normal life?"

Hikari's words made Yuzhi tilt his head; indeed, for the two of them, many experiments are no longer especially important.

Especially in private experiments, they are gradually metamorphosing toward a higher‑dimensional existence.

Ordinary experiments have no effect on them; even for Zhi Shui strictly speaking, with them watching there wouldn't be many issues.

Dou continues in the laboratory, somewhat indulging in a waste of Youth.

But letting Dou live that so‑called normal life, would that truly be normal for him?

What he prefers to do, what he is willing to do, really only his own thoughts can decide.

"Then ask him then, see his own thoughts before deciding."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi simply said.

"If he wants to continue his research, then let him stay here; if he wants to return to a normal life, then I'll make him a Jonin."

"His strength is by no means weak, and his theoretical knowledge is also very rich; as long as he accumulates a bit of experience, he will definitely be a qualified Jonin."

Hikari, hearing Yuzhi's words, couldn't help but nod; she also knew how outstanding Dou was, and it was precisely because of that excellence that she considered letting Dou return to normal.

"Alright, enough of that; I think we should also start preparing for the next project."

Yuzhi stretched lazily, smiled at Hikari, and said.

"At present, we still have many minor breakthrough projects, but there aren't many major projects left."

"Indeed, we are completing these studies bit by bit."

Hikari also smiled; along the way with Yuzhi, although they didn't set a goal for each stage.

But their path was exceptionally clear; they thought out each step, accumulated little by little, and eventually arrived at the present.

There are indeed many minor projects left, such as Bloodline Limits; they have not yet completed all Bloodline Limits that represent chakra.

Besides that, the degree of chakra fusion within their bodies is still not high.

But these are not critical; perhaps after activating the Reincarnation Eye, their fusion speed regarding Bloodline Limits has already become faster.

As for the fusion of bloodline and chakra, they don't even need to worry much, because they have a better method.

That method is, of course, the Kimeira Technique!

The Kimeira Technique has been largely rewritten by Yuzhi, with Orochimaru's talent and the continual trial-and-error of Divine Heaven.

Yuzhi can ensure his rewrite has no issues; once the timing arrives, he can fully begin the operation.

Beyond that, it's the complete fusion of tailed beast chakra with Susanoo, to conduct the Artificial Ten-Tails experiment!

Previously this experiment hadn't been started, mainly because their collection of tailed beast chakra wasn't fast, and also because the fusion of Susanoo and tailed beast chakra takes time.

Yuzhi has the little Nine-Tails assisting, so everything naturally becomes a bit easier.

If the little Nine-Tails integrates this chakra with Susanoo to create resonance, then Yuzhi will be close to achieving his goal.

To be honest, Yuzhi has felt more than once that the Nine-Tails is essentially a "miniature Ten-Tails."

But Hikari is different; lacking a little Nine-Tails-like strange lifeform, the difficulty is naturally much greater than Yuzhi's.

Now Yuzhi has completed the chakra collection, so regardless they should proceed to this step.

"Speaking of it, should I split the little Nine-Tails in half?"

Yuzhi looked at Hikari and suddenly asked with a smile.

"For example, split the little Nine-Tails into Shadow Release and Yang Release, one each for us?"

"You should just stay human."

Hikari rolled her eyes at Yuzhi, clearly having no interest in the proposal.

"Getting him is a good thing; although I also like this little guy, it doesn't mean we have to split him.

Even if he wouldn't object or care, I can't do that, and I also don't think I'm incapable of integrating the tailed beast chakra into Susanoo.

"Creating resonance is indeed very difficult, but it's not impossible for me, and I believe I can do it."

Seeing Hikari's confident demeanor, Yuzhi simply nodded.

Since that's the case, Yuzhi doesn't need to agonize so much; he absolutely believes Hikari can accomplish all this.

In the original work, the "Entangled Susanoo" that Sasuke formed was based on the composition of Ten-Tails' power.

But to say his Susanoo reached Ten-Tails' level, there is still a huge gap.

Although Yuzhi referenced him, he doesn't intend to fully emulate him; what he aims to do is make the tailed beast chakra fully cycle and condense, thereby becoming the "Power of the Ten-Tails"!

Rather than merely "storing" it inside Susanoo to supply energy.

"If I achieve that, then I would truly have 'handcrafted' the Ten-Tails."
