Chapter 148

Finally, he couldn't hold it back anymore; he covered his face with one hand, and his body began to tremble continuously.

Seemingly feeling sad for Uchiha Madara's passing.

And gradually, covering his face with his hand could no longer suppress Ryosuke's emotions; he finally couldn't control the excitement in his heart.

"Hahahaha!!!!"

Removing the hand covering his face, Mizunuki Ryosuke looked up and laughed; where was there any trace of sadness on his face?

Two years, do you know how I spent these two years?!!!

For two years, Mizunuki Ryosuke had racked his brains, waiting for Uchiha Madara's death every moment!

Finally, he had waited for this day!

In the original work, Uchiha Madara used the power of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to linger in the shadows until the Third Ninja World War, and only after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge did he harvest Uchiha Obito as his successor and die in peace.

And Uchiha Madara naturally wouldn't die completely at this point in time for no reason; this was precisely because Ryosuke had tampered with things.

For Ryosuke, he naturally couldn't tolerate Uchiha Madara living until the Third Ninja World War.

Uchiha Madara's existence was almost like a fishbone in Ryosuke's throat.

Almost every moment, Ryosuke was thinking about how to kill Uchiha Madara.

Finally, to be foolproof, Ryosuke thought of a perfect method.

That was—poisoning!

Of course, this "poisoning" was not poisoning in the general sense; at Madara's level, the poison that could kill him in this world probably didn't exist, not to mention that Madara had Hashirama cells in his body, and his resistance to poison was outrageously high.

Ordinary poison would have no effect at all, and Uchiha Madara wouldn't give Ryosuke a chance to poison him.

But the Yang Release inherited by Ryosuke from the Sage of Six Paths gave him hope.

"Poison" was just a relatively broad concept; any element that could cause death could be called a toxin.

Sometimes, things go to the opposite extreme.

The ability to "heal" could also become a "poison" that kills.

You must know, Uchiha Madara's state before this was extremely poor.

Even if he transplanted Hashirama cells, this didn't mean eternal life.

Even Senju Hashirama himself couldn't escape birth, aging, sickness, and death, let alone Madara who only transplanted Hashirama cells.

And Uchiha Madara only awakened the Rinnegan in a near-death state and summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to hang onto his life.

That is to say, Madara's body had always been in a near-death, exhausted state.

Such a state was irreversible.

If one were to use a concept to represent it, it would be that Uchiha Madara had obtained a "frozen health bar" buff before death, and this buff froze his health bar, which was already in an empty state.

"Frozen health bar" was not healing life, which meant that as long as there was external intervention, Uchiha Madara's health bar would still be affected.

And wanting to affect Uchiha Madara's "health bar," fighting was not the only way.

You must know, when a person's body is weak, the biggest taboo is to over-supplement.

After thinking this through, a basic Yang Release ninjutsu came in handy.

Yang Release: Cell Activation!

As everyone knows, medical ninjutsu itself is a type of Yang Release, and Yang Release chakra can act at the cellular level.

In the original work, even if cut in half, Tsunade could recover through Yang Release.

So stimulating cell activity and accelerating human metabolism was naturally the simplest thing.

To control the degree of cell activation, Ryosuke had conducted countless experiments on himself.

Finally, Ryosuke could control the intensity of this technique to a negligible, almost undetectable level.

After the subject was affected by the technique, the biggest effect was even that their hair grew a lot faster.

So after that, every time Ryosuke met Uchiha Madara, there was an extra action of patting his shoulder.

And every time he patted, Ryosuke would take the opportunity to perform a negligible cell activation, thereby overdrawing a tiny bit of Madara's vitality.

With Uchiha Madara's sophistication, he was naturally alert at first, but after seeing no effect, he just regarded it as a way for Mizunuki Ryosuke to greet him and didn't care.

Little did he know, every time Ryosuke patted Uchiha Madara's shoulder, a tiny part of the cells in his body would be stimulated, and while accelerating metabolism, they would die rapidly.

If one were to give an example, it would be that Uchiha Madara still had one percent of his health bar left.

Every time he was patted on the shoulder by Ryosuke, zero point zero one percent would be taken away.

Finally, after nearly two years, Ryosuke had finally exhausted Uchiha Madara to death!

And Uchiha Madara choosing to "say goodbye" to Ryosuke today was also directly because his body had completely collapsed and could no longer support him at all.

And metabolism was the most basic activity of the human body; Uchiha Madara simply couldn't detect the abnormality in his body.

He would only feel that his time had come, and even the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path couldn't hang onto his life, so he chose to die peacefully.

Ryosuke also understood in his heart that Uchiha Madara must have entrusted the matter of finding a successor to Black Zetsu.

And to be foolproof, he didn't tell Ryosuke Black Zetsu's whereabouts, just stayed behind alone to say goodbye to Ryosuke.

During these two years, Ryosuke's performance was meticulous, without any flaws.

Uchiha Madara had a good amount of trust in Ryosuke, and naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with such a "goodbye."

In Madara's eyes, Ryosuke was also a part of the "tools" in the plan.

Before he died, he naturally had to complete the final arrangements on this tool, Ryosuke.

And besides some small favors.

The most important thing was naturally the ring Madara gave.

The Ring of Zero!

The ring that Nagato once wore in the original work was now handed to Ryosuke.

Looking at the ring in his hand, Ryosuke revealed a satisfied smile.

After completely releasing the emotions in his heart, Ryosuke used Ice Release to freeze Madara's corpse, then sealed it with a sealing scroll.

Then, without any hesitation, he directly destroyed this underground space.

"Boom!"

The collapse of the underground cavity caused the ground to tremble slightly.

In the Land of Water, where earthquakes were frequent, no one took this slight tremor seriously...
