I arrived at the outer edge of Konoha in advance to wait for Master Madara.

Of course I couldn't be there when he drove away Hei Jue, so after coming out of the spiritual world, we exchanged a few moves and then retreated.

Then we set off on our own. The place we were at was actually on the edge of the Land of Fire, and I had Kamui, so I arrived early. I waited for nearly a day before Madara arrived.

Before we came, many ninjas of Konoha - especially some powerful fighters - had already left Konoha. With the defense and sensing devices they had just built after Pain's attack, they could not stop me and Master Madara at all.

In particular, Konoha's current overall defense pattern is developed based on the defense pattern when Konoha was first established, and all of Konoha's defenses at that time were arranged by Madara-sama.

We sneaked into Konoha and the Uchiha clan's territory quietly.

Following the route in our memory, we entered the underground secret room, and the stone tablet in front of us was still the same stone tablet.

The Rinnegan is an extraordinary ability. Even if Black Zetsu tries its best to eliminate this chakra conflict, as long as the owner of the Rinnegan is willing, he will still notice the discord of the stone tablet.

Madara-sama stood in front of the stone tablet and mobilized the chakra in his Rinnegan to the extreme.

But what worked in the end was not the mental chakra brought by the Rinnegan, but the Wood Release cells in his body.

The biggest reason why no Uchiha has ever discovered the strangeness of the stone tablet over the years is that Hei Zetsu has a very clear grasp of the boundaries between the clans.

Under his stimulation and control, the conflict between the Senju and Uchiha clans had long become irreconcilable. But even if there were aliens in the two clans, like Hashirama and Madara, and they put aside their hatred, the Uchiha clan would not easily let the Senju clan, especially those who could use Wood Release, come to the Uchiha stele.

Even if a member of the Senju tribe was placed where the stone tablet was, it would still require a large amount of Wood Release chakra to find the stone tablet.

Even if it was Hashirama Senju, if he circulated a large amount of chakra in such a core place of Uchiha, it would definitely be regarded as a provocation.

So, it's not a perfect way to rewrite, but it's a perfectly safe way to do it.

Madara-sama half-knelt down, put one hand on his chest - I guess it was where the "Hashirama face" was, which was the core of the Wood Release Chakra, and pushed on the stone tablet with the other hand.

He squeezed out pure Wood Release chakra from his body. You have to know that even if it was fused with Hashirama's chakra, as an Uchiha, the chakra that Madara usually output was actually a mixed chakra.

It is very difficult to extract a power that does not belong to your original system.

Also, not enough.

The surface of the stone tablet rippled slightly, and then stopped.

In order to arrange and maintain this stone tablet, Black Zetsu spent countless years and hundreds of years on and off. Madara, a user of Wood Release who only changed his technique halfway, simply did not have enough stamina to turn the stone tablet back.

Not to mention Madara-sama, even Hashirama’s endurance in the past might not be enough.

Hei Zetsu is really not as weak as he looks on the surface. He wins because of the endless time and the already arranged situation.

Mr. Ban turned his head and glanced at me.

I spread my hands, "I am made up of absolutely pure spiritual power, I don't have any Wood Release power at all."

The power that keeps me alive comes from the Uchiha clan's successive generations of Mangekyō spiritual chakra, which I had already hinted to Madara-sama before.

It is true that "I" originated from Indra's "thoughts". But a dead spirit cannot be maintained forever. Even Black Zetsu, who was born from Kaguya of the Chakra Clan, has almost reached the limit of his survival until today.

That's why he bet everything on Mr. Ban.

Perhaps he had sensed the existence of the "Uchiha Will", so under uncertain circumstances, he had to guide the extermination of all the Uchiha clan members to prevent the possibility that any other Mangekyō would increase my strength and prolong my life.

As for the annihilation of Senju and Uzumaki - I am not completely sure of the reason yet, I only have a vague guess.

"You want to stop me with this kind of threshold?" Mr. Ban sneered and stood up from his half-squatting position.

Brushing off the non-existent dust on his knees, he turned and left the secret room where the stone tablet was stored.

I leaned against the door frame and watched him walk out in front of me. "Why, do you have any ideas?"

"Since I don't have enough Wood Release Chakra, I'll find someone with enough."

I had guessed what he was going to do.

As I said before, even the huge chakra of Hashirama back then was not enough, and now it is even more impossible for anyone to be able to unlock the hands and feet on the stone tablet. However, if Hashirama can be given an infinite chakra buff, there is no one more suitable than Hashirama.

"The Earthly Reincarnation." That's all I could think of. "As for Hashirama Senju, he's already been reincarnated once, though it wasn't a success."

I reminded him on a whim.

Mr. Ban frowned, "Who used this technique?"

"Orochimaru - the disciple of Senju Tobirama." I chose a network of relationships that he could understand most easily.

He seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that someone had reincarnated Hashirama using the "Lottery Reincarnation" technique before him, but enough had already happened and it could not be changed.

"Where is the practitioner?"

"I've died twice." He was killed once by Sasuke and once by Itachi.

As soon as Madara heard this, he could roughly guess what type of ninja he was, so he didn't pursue it any further. After all, he was just a kid.

Even to the Tsuchikage, he said, "There's no adult who can be serious with children," let alone someone who is younger than the Tsuchikage.

The principle of reincarnation of the Earth Tensei is not difficult, and the conditions that need to be met are not many. In the original work, Madara-sama was able to reverse the seal to release the control of the Earth Tensei on himself, which shows that he is at least quite familiar with this technique.

Only those who know and can use this technique can know how to unlock it correctly.

Moreover, in the "Lotus Tensei Jutsu", there are several basic principles: first, the quality of the flesh used as a sacrifice - the best flesh is of course the best representative of the immortal body, and Madara-sama has a ready-made White Zetsu that can be used;

The second is the level of the operator. The stronger the operator's own power is, and the more proficient he is in the Tenchi Reincarnation, the closer the dead person's natural resurrection will be to their original power before death. In this regard, there is no need to doubt the strength of Madara-sama who performed the operation himself.

The third is the will of the caster, which is to see how much strength the caster wants to bring back to life. There is no doubt that Madara-sama definitely wants Hashirama to return to his peak strength.

The objective conditions were met very easily. The only problem was that I had to keep an eye on him, to make sure that Hashirama wasn't dragged into a fight by Madara-sama the first thing he did as soon as he came back to life.

Fighting in Konoha - even though the Uchiha clan's territory is very remote, it will still be troublesome.

In order to prevent the possible Black Zetsu Chakra from mixing into the body of Hashirama, who was resurrected by the Earth Reincarnation, Madara did not use the stored White Zetsu Chakra, but planned to create new one directly.

He is now also a Wood Release master, so creating a few Wood Release bodies is not a problem at all.

Instead of the Uchiha clan's secret room, they chose a more spacious place. Unlike Orochimaru's quiet, fast and efficient process of the Earth Reincarnation, Madara was very careful when making the sacrifice.

Because the quality of the sacrifice determines the basic quality of the reincarnated person, Madara is always tireless in wanting to achieve perfection in resurrecting Hashirama.

While he was "striving for perfection", I slipped away to the streets of Konoha to buy some snacks.

There are both sweet and salty ones. Because of the world view, the snacks in the Ninja World are mostly Japanese. However, many exquisite Japanese snacks on Taobao are too expensive, so they usually just gather dust in my collection folder.

But it’s different here, since I’m not spending my own money anyway.

When I came back after my walk around, Madara had finally finished his preparations and was making seals.

I hurriedly stuffed the last two dumplings into my mouth and moved forward.

Watching closely, one can clearly see the strong wood-attribute chakra starting from the bottom of Byakuzetsu's body and moving upwards, wrapping around it like shredded paper.

The pure white paper gradually took on color under the influence of the chakra after the complex hand seals, first the inner body, and then the outer clothing. The red armor is the same as Madara's, and the standard long black hair is just the two "cockroach whiskers" in the front that always make people feel a little bit out of place.

The posture of Hashirama is clearly that of a warrior before the founding of Konoha. In principle, the person who performs the Earth Reincarnation Technique can control the person's physical condition, clothing, and age.

That is to say, what Madara actually misses more are the days before the establishment of Konoha.

This thought only flashed through my mind for a moment, because although it seems slow to say, in fact, this technique is just a little more troublesome in the initial preparation.

Actually counting from the time of forming the seal, it is only a few breaths.

Senju Hashirama, the legendary ninja god.

Although I don't have the same strong feelings for him as I do for the Uchiha clan, I still admire this man very much.

The ritual was completed, and the consciousness was immediately pulled back into this body that was reborn from the dirt.

In the black whites of the eyes are Hashirama's eyes, which look a bit like small soybeans at first glance - this is the effect of the Earth Reincarnation.

I watched as Madara's emotions fluctuated, and his face became visibly wild. His lips were about to open, as if he was about to say something.

But it was totally too late.

The moment Hashirama opened his eyes, he rushed up to him in a bear hug, and there was no sign at all of the desperate fight they had had the last time they met.

He patted Madara's back twice, saying loudly, "Hahahaha - I knew that even if we went to Hades, Madara would definitely wait for us to go together."

...So, does Hashirama think this is Hades?

Wait, doesn't he see me?

Am I invisible?
