Chapter 33: Uchiha Madara's Substitute Literature?
Chapter 33: Uchiha Madara's Substitute Literature?
Meanwhile, the mountain cemetery.
In the dimly lit underground space, Madara Uchiha sat quietly on a huge wooden chair with his eyes closed.
Countless pipes behind him connect to the golem, supplying chakra and life force to sustain his aging body.
As soon as White Zetsu emerged from the ground, with half of his body still buried in the soil, he transmitted the scene of Qingyu's battle with Kakashi using the Yin Release technique.
Madara Uchiha slowly opened his eyes.
He was still recalling Qingyu's figure wielding the sword and the winding, serpentine flames.
Fire Release.
fencing.
Madara Uchiha's lips curled up slightly, revealing a long-lost look of satisfaction.
That's more like it.
Madara Uchiha nodded secretly.
Playing water escape tricks all the time, what kind of nonsense is that?
In Madara Uchiha's view, the Uchiha were a clan that could control fire.
Water Release techniques are something only a treacherous person like Tobirama Senju would like to use.
Thinking of this unpleasant fellow, Madara Uchiha's mood turned cold.
He once wanted to plunge his ninja sword into Tobirama Senju's head to avenge his deep-seated hatred.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the opportunity to do so during his lifetime.
Madara Uchiha shook his head and continued watching the images transmitted back by White Zetsu.
His younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, was also skilled in fire-style techniques and equally obsessed with swordsmanship.
During the Sengoku period, Izuna often dueled with Tobirama Senju using samurai swords, and the two clashed countless times amidst the flashing of their blades.
If Izuna Uchiha hadn't died at the hands of Tobirama Senju, perhaps everything would have been different.
Madara Uchiha closed his eyes.
In the Uchiha clan, the bond between brothers transcends everything.
He and Izuna supported each other since childhood, fighting together in the bloody sea of the Warring States period.
Izuna was more composed and calm than him, yet he always stood behind him, his strongest support.
Even on his deathbed, Uchiha Izuna gave him his Mangekyou Sharingan.
If it weren't for those eyes, Madara Uchiha would have gone blind long ago.
Even if one were to transplant the eyes of another member of their race, the most they could transplant would be a three-tomoe Sharingan, and it would be impossible to possess the power they have now.
"Kiyoyu has a bit of Izuna in him."
Madara Uchiha opened his eyes again.
He knew, of course, that Izuna was dead.
However, the stone tablet passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan records many secrets that are inaccessible to ordinary people.
Each time your pupil power increases, you can see more content, just like solving a puzzle.
The Uchiha stone tablet also vaguely mentions that the Pure Land truly exists.
After a person dies, their soul goes to that other world.
Although not explained in detail, since the soul can continue to exist, does that mean...?
Reincarnation?
Madara Uchiha fell into deep thought.
He vaguely felt that he had an inexplicable connection with Hashirama.
So, what about the others?
Could Kiyoyu be the reincarnation of Izuna?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Madara Uchiha was startled by his own audacious idea.
That's too unconventional.
It must be because she misses her younger brother too much.
Madara Uchiha shook his head, temporarily suppressing this absurd speculation.
However, regardless of whether Kiyoyu is the reincarnation of Izuna, this child certainly deserves his special attention.
Madara Uchiha summoned White Zetsu and decided to take a different approach with Kiyoha than he had with Obito.
Obito is a pawn.
But Qingyu could perhaps become something else.
……
Meanwhile, at the ninja academy.
[Collectible trait detected: Madara's hallucination]
[Rank D Trait: Madara's Hallucinations]
[Effect: Gain the Fire Release talent of Uchiha Madara (in his youth).]
Qingyu stared at the notification text that suddenly appeared before her eyes, speechless for a moment.
Is Madara Uchiha here?
No, it should be White Zetsu.
Madara saw the battle through White Zetsu's vision, just like Hiruzen Sarutobi used the "Telescope Technique" to spy on someone.
But the problem is...
Hallucination?
Qingyu's lips twitched slightly.
Naruto-style presbyopia?
The effect of this trait is to gain Madara's Fire Release talent from his childhood, which is indeed very strong.
But its name is "Vision," which means it sees itself as someone related to Madara Uchiha?
Swordsmanship combined with fire release—in Madara's past experiences, there is only one person who best fits this combination.
Uchiha Izuna.
"Good grief, wait, it's one thing for the Third Hokage to spy on us with his crystal ball all the time, but Madara, you've got that kind of taste too?"
Qingyu mentally complained.
This is bad.
Could it be that Madara Uchiha is using him as a substitute for his younger brother?
shock!
What kind of stand-in literature?
Qingyu calmly looked around but found no unusual signs.
White Zetsu's "Mayfly Technique" can blend perfectly into the earth and vegetation, making it impossible for him to detect with his current perception.
However, this also proves one thing: Madara Uchiha has already taken notice of him.
This is both a danger and an opportunity.
From Orochimaru to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then to Madara Uchiha, Qingyu discovered a pattern.
The stronger a person is, the better the qualities they acquire.
The prerequisite is that he can establish some kind of connection with the other party, thus meeting the system's judgment conditions.
Madara Uchiha, a "Shura of the Ninja World," is undoubtedly a walking treasure trove of top-tier qualities.
Since Madara Uchiha had a "hallucination" of him, he was at least a level above a mere pawn.
This might not be a bad opportunity for him.
Izuna...
Qingyu stroked her chin, her mind racing.
Tsunade once mentioned some past events to him.
His mother, a member of the Senju clan, learned some little-known things from his father, a member of the Uchiha clan.
That is, after Uchiha Izuna died, he also left behind a sword.
Qingyu's father also used this sword, but after his death in battle, the Uchiha clan took it back.
Since Ban is in the illusion, Qingyu doesn't mind making this stand-in story even more realistic.
Is it possible to get that sword?
Qingyu secretly considered the possibilities.
However, he still has one exam to finish.
……
Kakashi formed the reconciliation seal, and Kiyoha returned the same gesture.
"Qingyu is really amazing."
Sea Deer spoke to Wooden Hand.
The outcome of this battle quickly spread throughout the entire ninja academy.
The myth of Kakashi's invincibility was shattered, and it was another, even more dazzling genius, who broke it.
After school, Tsunade unusually appeared before Kiyoha before sunset.
"Kid, come with me."
Without explaining why, she turned and left.
Qingyu followed her, and the two walked through the streets of Konoha, all the way to the Hokage Building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was already waiting in his office.
The pipe on the table was emitting wisps of smoke.
"You beat Kakashi?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi got straight to the point, his tone tinged with surprise.
However, he also watched the entire match live.
Although he witnessed the entire battle through the crystal ball, seeing it with one's own eyes and observing it through ninjutsu are ultimately two different experiences.
He knew how strong Kakashi was, and the fact that Qingyu could defeat him in a direct battle showed that his progress was far beyond expectations.
"It was just luck, Hokage-sama."
Qingyu said modestly.
