Chapter 183 Uchiha Madara's Surprise, the Person Who Bears the Name "Madara"
The country of mountains, the mountain cemetery.
In a circular pit with a diameter of several hundred meters, the corpse of a huge beast was buried here, with only a section of the white spine exposed.
The dust was blown up by the wind from above and poured into the surrounding cave entrances covered with stone walls. There were waves of cold and strange echoes, which were even more creepy than the sound of the wind.
It sounded like the low moans and hisses of human beings, like countless voices, the voices of men, women, old and young, intertwined together like silk, as if you could hear the resentment and malice hidden in the wind.
The mountain cemetery is called this name not only because it is the cemetery of some giant beasts, but also because it is like a strange and mysterious "forbidden land".
It is full of complex and rugged caves. No matter who steps into them, they will get lost. If they are lucky, they can come out, but if they are not, they will lose their traces.
But the people of the Mountain Kingdom don't know that the unknown deepest part of the mountain cemetery, which they regard as a forbidden area, has been turned into a living room.
It is surrounded by huge entangled trees, and the branches protruding from the ground are made into tables, chairs and beds, making it look like someone lives here.
In the center of the room, a large tree chair several meters high stood, and a figure sat motionless on it with his head bowed. If it weren't for the weak rising and falling of his chest, it would have looked like a corpse at first glance.
All he could see was a mess of white hair and a few pipe-like roots connected to his neck.
Those roots extend from the shadow behind him, and if you look carefully you can see the huge red buds.
"Huh...huh..."
At this moment, the figure slowly raised his head and opened his somewhat absent-minded eyes, a scarlet light glowing in the darkness.
"Huha!"
Bai Jue's half-white body poked out from the wall, looked at the old man sitting on the tree chair and shouted exaggeratedly: "Madara-sama, Madara-sama! That kid is so scary. Fortunately, I can hide far away..."
"..."
Uchiha Madara ignored it, but exhaled a deep breath of turbid air, as if he wanted to spit out all the rain smell mixed with the smell of blood in Kirigakure Village.
But when he inhaled again, the new moist smell filled his nasal cavity again, making him feel that his whole body was covered with a sense of moisture again while his mind was awake.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Subconsciously, he coughed hoarsely a few times. Feeling the frailty of this old body, Madara couldn't help but feel a trace of depth and disgust in his eyes.
He hated his current frail, old body.
Now he is just a lingering and destitute Uchiha undead.
If that man saw his own self, he would definitely point his finger and tease her severely.
After all, he can't even dance now.
"Master Madara?" Bai Jue, who was still vomiting bitterness, noticed the absence of the old man in front of him and cautiously asked, "Are you listening?"
Madara came to his senses.
First, I lamented in my heart that I am really old now, and I always like to be sentimental and miss the people and things in the past.
Then he opened his scarlet Sharingan slightly, looked at the Bai Zetsu in front of him and said indifferently: "Have they left already?"
Bai Jue originally wanted to complain about the dangers he encountered on this trip, but seeing Master Madara's cold and serious expression, he didn't dare to act weird at this time.
"Yeah, those guys are gone."
I could only scratch my head and replied seriously: "Because Madara-sama, you said that the human brat named Tsukimi Sato Kumikawa might have discovered my special ability and asked me to observe as far away as possible, so I couldn't explore too much." Useful stuff.”
"I just saw that after wiping out all the troops in Takigakure Village, he first went back to Yangyan Village to take away some people, and then went to the Daiming Mansion of the Mountain Kingdom, and was finally sent away respectfully by the Daimyo's personal guards... …”
"Yeah?"
Listening to Bai Zetsu's simple narration, Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Kato Danzo's son also died in his hands."
During this period, due to the deaths of Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon and several other Ninja Sword Seven members, as well as the huge losses caused by the invasion of the Whirlpool Country, the ninja clan in Kirigakure Village that had been suppressed by him began to make moves again.
After all, a large part of the main force in that operation was drawn from the Ninja clan under his control of the Third Mizukage. If they all died at once, how could those guys remain indifferent.
However, Madara had already anticipated the reaction of these ninjas.
Although he did not expect such huge losses, the reason why he sent the Ninjas to invade the Kingdom of Whirlpool was to weaken the power in their hands. Naturally, he would not be caught off guard by those Ninjas.
During this time, he has been using his clone to control the Third Mizukage to suppress and cleanse those dishonest people. Now the entire Kirigakure Village may be weaker than before, but it is completely in his hands, and that is enough.
He didn't need the strength of Kirigakure Village in the first place. After all, the Kingdom of Water was an island country on the sea made up of many islands. As long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke or attack other big countries, other big countries wouldn't have time to come and fight Kirigakure.
What he needs is a village that is obedient enough and can provide him with enough resources. It doesn't matter if he is weak.
However, Madara didn't expect that he just hadn't noticed for a while, and the little ghost in Tsukimi ended up in the mountain country inexplicably.
When Bai Zetsu told him about Tsukimi Riunkawa's appearance in the Kingdom of Mountains, Madara had to admit that he was indeed frightened and subconsciously thought that the kid was coming to him.
But he quickly calmed down and understood that this was absolutely impossible.
He made sure his concealment was flawless.
What's more, no one could have thought that he would fake his death and escape during the battle with Senju Hashirama in the Valley of the End, and it was even less possible for anyone to have thought that he, the undead named Uchiha Madara, could live until now.
After asking Bai Jue to investigate from a distance of several kilometers, he found that the facts were exactly what he thought.
However, what surprised Madara was that the kid actually came to help Kagero Village defeat Takigakure's troops.
What made him even more unexpected was that the kid with only a few hundred people actually did it.
Even if you include the ninjas from Yangyan Village who are not good at fighting, there are only over a thousand of them.
Even with such a thousand people, they could actually win against the more than three thousand people from Takiyin Village.
"What a surprising kid." Madara Uchiha murmured in a deep voice, "Have you actually grown to this level in a short period of time?"
Although he could not see the traces of the battle with his own eyes, according to Bai Jue's report, the slash with a radius of 100 meters and no time to dodge was enough to give him a rough idea of the kid's current strength.
Although it is not certain whether that kind of slash can be used multiple times, it does not matter even if it can only be used once in a period of time.
In addition, the kid in Tsukimi once killed Musashi and suppressed Hanzo's record, which was already stronger than that of the famous, so-called "Konoha White Fang".
This made Madaratou feel a little regretful. When Tsukimi Kumikawa came into contact with Nagato, several White Zetsus were watching the whole process.
But Madara didn't pay attention to a noble son at all at that time, so he didn't stop it after receiving the news from Bai Zetsu.
He even thought about letting the kid protect Nagato for a while, and then kill the kid when Nagato adapted to the Samsara Eye, further stimulating Nagato to awaken the Samsara Eye and summon the heretic demon.
But Madara also didn't expect that the brat he once despised could actually grow to this point.
This not only failed his plan, but also put him in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Unless he burns his little life and takes action himself, he can only find a way to kill that kid with a borrowed knife.
So, whose knife can I borrow?
Hanzo? Iwagakure Village? Or Sunagakure, Konoha?
Uchiha Madara frowned in thought, feeling helpless for a moment.
"Do you want me to monitor their whereabouts?" Bai Jue asked tentatively.
"Brainless idiot, don't you think the situation is bad enough?" Madara raised his eyes, glanced at Bai Zetsu coldly, and said in a cold tone, "The Bai Zetsu who was sent to monitor Nagato has already disappeared once. , if we are discovered again, the other party will definitely guess our purpose. "
"Then... Lord Madara, what are we going to do next?" Hearing Madara say this, Bai Jue scratched his head. His head felt a little itchy and he felt like he was about to grow a brain.
Nagato is Madara's most important chess piece, and accidents must not happen there.
But they really have no choice now but to watch the chess pieces jump out of the chessboard.
Although every White Zetsu's stealth ability is very good, only a very small number of special-sensory ninjas can detect their existence, but the weak combat ability is the flaw of most White Zetsus, and only a special individual like A Fei has the comparison. A tremendous strength.
The reason why they were so calm before was because they were completely on the dark side, not easily noticed by others, and could act secretly.
Once discovered, it would be easy to alert the human being named Tsukimi Sato Kumikawa.
Judging from his performance, he is obviously not an idiot, and it is easy to know that their target is Nagato, or his Samsara Eye.
At that time, it is very likely that we will turn around and explore the details of Madara-sama's side.
That wouldn't be great.
"So I need someone to step in for me now."
Uchiha Madara looked up at Bai Zetsu, who was dangling like a pitcher plant in front of him, frowned and asked: "Have you found the person you asked to find now?"
Hearing this, Bai Jue's swaying figure straightened up instantly, and said in an excited tone: "Master Madara, you finally asked me, don't tell me, that guy A Fei has indeed found a candidate who meets your requirements!"
It's so difficult to find someone in Konoha who meets Madara-sama's requirements!
Compared to other villages, Konoha's infiltration difficulty is undoubtedly the most difficult among all ninja villages.
The sensory barrier that surrounds the entire village, and the Byakugan that can see through entities, make it difficult for Bai Zetsu to avoid alerting anyone even with his sneaking ability.
It was also thanks to the invasion and attack of Konoha by the Sora Legion that Konoha's defenses were omitted, allowing A Fei to invade safely.
A Fei's goal is very clear, which is to collect intelligence in the Uchiha clan and find the so-called 'agent'.
As for what kind of character, talent requirements, etc. are needed for the 'Agent', everything needs to be decided by their 'Madara-sama'.
The age must not be too old, preferably between a few years old and a teenager, so that it is easy to control.
Therefore, most of the Uchiha people under their surveillance are young ninjas in their teens, or children attending ninja schools.
As White Zetsu, A Fei has already been very good at gathering intelligence. Even if this is Konoha, which is the most difficult to penetrate, as long as they are given a certain amount of time, they can successfully operate the intelligence channel.
However, during this period of time, A Fei searched the entire ninja school and the Uchiha clan, but could not find any Uchiha clan member who met Madara-sama's requirements.
In the end, the orphan named "Uchiha Shinji" was chosen.
"orphan?"
Madara, who had no hope at first, couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, then I will go and see the person you selected in person."
After the words fell, under the gaze of that Bai Jue who was full of gloating about his misfortune, another ordinary Bai Jue was summoned from the ground by him.
When it came to the side, Uchiha Madara raised his scarlet eyes, patted his wrinkled palm on its shoulder, and the three magatama in his sharingan eyes rotated, and said in a deep voice: "The Jutsu of Elephant Turn" !”
The cold and cold eye power surged out from the pair of Sharingan eyes, and the white root inserted behind Uchiha Madara was surging, sending a stream of his chakra into Bai Zetsu's body.
"ah!!"
As the White Zetsu wails in pain and fear, its appearance gradually turns into Madara's.
After a while, the "Uchiha Madara" opened his eyes, lowered his head and shook his palms, frowning dissatisfied and said: "This White Zetsu can't even withstand 10% of my chakra."
Although the technique he used looks very similar to Bai Jue's transformation technique, it is actually a secret technique called "Xiangzhuan Jutsu".
This is the ability he learned after awakening the Samsara Eye. He can distribute chakra to the sacrifice, creating an exquisite "identical body" with an appearance that is 100% the same as the original body. The techniques are exactly the same as the original body, and even the weapons and ninja tools owned by the original body can be imitated.
The strength of the same body is determined by the amount of chakra allocated. When the chakra of the living sacrifice is exhausted, the ninjutsu will be automatically released, and the sacrifice will die immediately.
With this technique, Madara can remotely control the third generation Mizukage even if he is in the country of mountains.
However, the "identical body" in Kirigakure Village was made by possessing a special White Zetsu, and its duration and strength are definitely not comparable to the White Zetsu in front of it.
"But, it's enough." Madara's body retracted his palm, looked at himself in front of him, and said indifferently, "Go, go to Konoha to see with your own eyes whether the person chosen by A Fei is qualified to carry my name on my back, and continue to execute my plan."
