Chapter 134 The Storm Is Brewing
Chapter 134 The Storm Is Brewing
The long-haired man stood tall and straight, exuding a cold and sharp aura that seemed to emanate from his very bones. Even in the dark and narrow cave, his presence was striking.
Upon seeing the man, even someone as resolute as Black Zetsu felt a surge of excitement.
Finally, a reliable person has appeared! Among the Uchiha, only Madara is truly capable!
The excitement had barely begun when Madara's voice rang out again: "Where is the plan at now? Has the Ten-Tails' husk been summoned? Where's Obito?"
One question after another froze Black Zetsu's smile on his face.
Madara, who hadn't heard Black Zetsu's reply for a long time, finally noticed the abnormality in his body.
"Is this impure rebirth? Or is it reincarnation?"
Ban clenched his fists, feeling the decay spreading through his body, and asked with a frown, puzzled.
Black Zetsu quickly relayed everything that had happened during this period, including the information left behind by "Uchiha Madara" who was summoned by Zeref's magic, to Uchiha Madara.
"So, now that we've only captured half of the Three-Tails, you and Obito are so powerless that you need to resurrect me with Edo Tensei?!" Madara Uchiha's tone was full of dissatisfaction and disgust.
He never imagined that the Eye of the Moon Plan would escalate to the point where he would need to be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. If he had to do everything himself, what was the point of all the effort he put into preparing Nagato and Obito as backup plans?!
Black Zetsu also felt a bit wronged. He had been lurking behind the history of the ninja world for a thousand years, and just when the Eye of the Moon plan was finally about to be implemented, someone suddenly appeared from another world.
What's even more infuriating is that those guys actually set their sights on the Tailed Beasts, and they actually have the power to do so.
Fortunately, Ban was not one to dwell on his previous setbacks; he quickly shifted his focus to the present and the future.
As Madara perused the information transmitted through genjutsu by another being supposedly summoned by a method called magic, a hint of interest began to appear in his eyes.
The power and feeling of this illusion were exactly the same as his, and its behavior and thoughts were almost identical to his, which gave Madara a particularly novel feeling.
He couldn't help but read the scenes, especially those depicting the battle between "Uchiha Madara," "Uchiha Izuna," and the Senju brothers resurrected through Edo Tensei, several times.
Although the unexpected situation disrupted his plans, fortunately the situation was not too bad, and Madara now understood why Black Zetsu had summoned him.
Everything is for the sake of the Eye of the Moon Project. Besides, what does it matter if such a great project as the Eye of the Moon encounters some obstacles? No one can stop his plan!
Seeing Madara Uchiha's calmed expression, Black Zetsu tentatively asked, "So, Madara, are you going to capture the Tailed Beasts yourself next?"
Madara glanced at Black Zetsu and said with some disdain, "Otherwise, are we going to rely on you and that guy Obito? As the embodiment of my will and a descendant of the Uchiha, to be so hesitant and indecisive is truly useless!"
Black Zetsu: ...Fine, say whatever you want, capturing the Tailed Beast is the important thing.
Fortunately, Black Zetsu put in some effort and chose a relatively powerful White Zetsu as the sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation. Although it was not as powerful as the Rinne Reincarnation, it still restored most of Madara's strength.
After understanding the situation, Madara walked out of the cave and, using the eyes of the Impure World Reincarnation, saw the ninja world once again.
......
In the Hidden Sound Village, Sasuke once again lay on the cold stone bed in the laboratory.
The Sharingan, representing the power of "the heavens," floated silently in Zeref's palm. At this moment, the eye seemed to have undergone some kind of forging, looking more like a clear gem the size of an eyeball than an eyeball itself.
“It’s more accurate to call it a magical artifact than an eye,” Zeref smiled slightly. “I think it’s no worse than the so-called Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.”
Then, without hesitation, Zeref put the eye back into Sasuke's empty eye socket.
The moment his eyeballs returned to their sockets, Sasuke felt an icy chill. The texture of his eye sockets felt less like soft tissue and more like cold glass or gemstones.
But the feeling of something being in his eye lasted only a moment. The next instant, his right eye, which had been closed for the past few days, regained its sight. Sasuke moved his eyeballs around without any discomfort or pain.
To his even greater surprise, his vision in his right eye, which had previously deteriorated, had fully recovered, creating a stark contrast with his still blurry vision in his left eye.
After the eyeballs returned to their sockets, they adapted to the body and reverted to their original pure black pupils. The difference in vision between the two eyes caused Sasuke's eyes to subconsciously transform into the shape of three tomoe.
As the chakra gathered in his eyes, Sasuke was shocked to discover that the nature of the power changed incredibly naturally as the chakra flowed through his right eye. He instantly understood that this power was Zeref's magic contained within his eyeball!
At this moment, his right eye was like a converter of chakra and magic. New and powerful energy flowed through his right eye and into his whole body. His left eye, after being cleansed by this power, was also healing from the damage caused by overuse.
Sasuke adapted to this new feeling, and the next moment, the three tomoe suddenly transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan. A dark vortex suddenly appeared in the room, and Sasuke walked in without hesitation.
After realizing the true nature of the dark vortex, a slight smile appeared in Zeref's eyes, and he followed without hesitation.
The next moment, the two of them appeared out of thin air in the woods outside the laboratory.
pop-
Zeref clapped lightly and smiled, praising, "You adapted very quickly, Sasuke, that's amazing."
The power of the heavens advanced further, and Sasuke's eyes no longer burned as before. He finally obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan in another sense, the "eternal" one.
"You're amazing." Sasuke had never said this so sincerely before: "That eye is simply incredible..."
After calming himself down a bit, Sasuke couldn't help but ask, "Does the other eye also need to be modified?"
Zeref tilted his head slightly and said, "I don't think it's necessary. Besides, the Mangekyou Sharingan seems to have even greater potential, which you might be able to discover in the future."
A deeper potential? Sasuke paused slightly, making a mental note of it.
"Alright, I've done what I promised you. Would you like to come with me to see the Three-Tails?" Zeref invited with a smile.
Sasuke, in high spirits, readily agreed.
......
Is this a three-tailed fox?
Sasuke stared in astonishment at the barrier still suspended in mid-air.
The three-tailed creature, which originally only had half a body, now had its body fully restored.
To Sasuke's shock, the tailed beast, which originally had only three tails, now had six additional jet-black tails that looked like steel.
The Three-Tails has also undergone a dramatic transformation. Sharp bone spurs have sprouted from its back, and its head seems to be covered with bone armor. Its limbs have become long and slender, with sharp claws that gleam with a chilling light.
With its nine tails, it looks like a legendary monster at first glance.
Sasuke was speechless for a moment, taken aback by the Three-Tails' appearance. After a long while, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to create another Nine-Tails?"
Zeref chuckled, "I suppose so. After all, in your world, the Nine-Tails is the ultimate symbol of power, isn't it?"
After saying that, Zeref raised his hand towards the Three-Tails in the air. A purple-black pattern flashed above the Three-Tails' head. The next moment, the Three-Tails, which had been keeping its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes and roared to the sky.
"roar--"
A tremendous roar echoed throughout the entire Sound Village, and in an instant, Mavis, Orochimaru, and the others appeared there.
"Is it completely finished?" Orochimaru's eyes burned with fervor. "I never imagined you could actually do this, Lord Zeref. In this respect, you're closer to the Sage of Six Paths than any of us ninjas, hehehe—"
After letting out a huge roar, the three-tailed beast's six jet-black tails suddenly stretched out, shooting out like six jet-black chains, and the barrier that had been trapping the three-tailed beast shattered in an instant.
Sasuke and Orochimaru instinctively assumed defensive postures.
When the Three-Tails stretched out its body from the barrier, its originally curled-up, jet-black, bony wings, dragging its body, floated in the air.
The circular pattern on the forehead of the three-tailed creature shone even brighter, and the next moment, its body slowly descended to the ground.
Despite the successful modification of the Three-Tails, Zeref showed no joy. He calmly said, "Let's get to know each other again. This is the Three-Tails, Isobu. With it around, finding the other tailed beasts should be easier."
