Naruto and Sasuke are doing nothing; Madara and I will set an example.

Page 26

Blindness does not affect the awakening of the 'Rinnegan', a fact that Madara has verified in the latter half of his life.

After successfully opening the eyes, the lost sight will be restored, and the pupil technique will not be lost.

The problem is that……

"Why would you do such a thing? You don't need to fight anyone here!"

"Fight, of course we must fight," Chen said solemnly. "I have to fight myself."

"Fighting against yourself?"

"Yes. I must make sure I have no way out from here!"

"If subconsciously I believe I can use the Yumu Tuo Liu to reverse time and restore my life, then a sense of wishful thinking will subtly remain in my mindset, and what should have been accomplished will not be accomplished. Disabling this right eye is a must!"

"Go all out?"

"Yes, just like this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen drew the Kusanagi sword from his waist, and in the astonished gazes of Madara and Obito, he turned the blade and plunged it into his own heart!

Madara snapped out of his daze and tried to step forward to stop him, but it was too late!

"Crack!" The Kusanagi sword pierced through Chen's heart.

Chen Junyi's face instantly contorted into a mask of pain. He staggered to steady himself, then gritted his teeth, gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, and twisted it forcefully!

"Snap!" With that turn of the blade, he completely destroyed his own heart!

"Crack!" Under the life link of the twin flowers, a gap opened up in the heart of the golem's Hashirama artificial body!

It's no exaggeration to say that his injuries at this moment are comparable to those of Obito when Kakashi pierced his heart, and even more severe than those of Sasuke back then!

Ban was deeply shocked: This kid has a ruthless streak to his bones. He has a family, yet he can do this. I really admire him...

Obito was also moved: If it were me and Rin, and we had two lovely daughters, I couldn't do this! Chen, you are a person born to do great things.

Dust pulled out the dagger, collapsed to the ground, and blood drenched the earth beneath him.

"Hoo, ha, hoo, ha..."

Chen was breathing heavily, and in the view reflected by his single eye, the figures of the two were blurry and flickering.

"I came here with the resolve to succeed or die trying!"

"Uncle Madara, Obito, if I'm lucky enough to survive today, please keep this a secret for me! If I die..."

Madara interrupted without room for argument: "I will resurrect you with Impure World Reincarnation, and then find a way to reincarnate you into the Heavenly Realm. All three of us will leave the mountain together, and not one of us can be missing!"

Suddenly, Chen's expression became strained, and his breathing became more rapid. "Huff, huff, ha! This, this is going to be difficult..."

Banwei's deep, chilling voice rang out: "Don't speak! From now on, whatever happens has nothing to do with you. All you have to do is one thing: live, and then, with the Rinnegan, stand up again!"

His gaze slowly rose, fixing on the two figures who arrogantly looked down at the earth above the spacetime vortex that had finally come to an end.

Chen also noticed the visitor from above. But the shadow of death engulfed his entire being, leaving him no time to consider anything else!

Heh, you've arrived at just the right time... I, Uchiha Chen, may not have the life of a protagonist, but I do have the debuffs of one!

Fortunately, I'm not alone! The two people beside me are the most formidable opponents as enemies, and the most trustworthy and reliable partners as allies!

Next, I will fight against myself...

And you will probably have to protect me while fighting a powerful enemy.

Please buy me some time! Madara-san, Obito!

"Click!" Momo's Byakugan swept across the ground below.

"A shell resembling the Ten-Tails has been discovered."

"Three inferior creatures, huh? Oh dear, is one of them about to die?"

At this critical moment, Otsutsuki Momoshiki, Otsutsuki Kinshiki!

The confrontation between heaven and earth.

Madara looked at Chen, who was sitting there covered in blood, and thought to himself: Chen, I stopped you just now because you can't open the Rinnegan by committing suicide.

Near-death is not the primary 'purpose'. What is truly needed to awaken the Rinnegan is to face an inevitable death with intense resentment and a strong desire and longing to live, only then will the special spiritual energy required for the Rinnegan emerge in the brain.

Suicide, due to its deliberate intent and impure motives, weakens the chain of reactions that open the eyes, resulting in the ineffective expression of the special spiritual energy required.

However, Chen... if it's you, I'm willing to hope for a miracle.

Madara said in an unquestionable tone, "Obito, immediately absorb the dust into the space-time dimension! Then, go to his side and stay by his side without leaving for a moment. I remember there was another guy from the same period named Urashiki who also had space-time abilities; he appeared and disappeared unpredictably. You need to be extra careful and on guard!"

"And what about you?" Obito asked.

“I’ll stay and meet them,” Ban said.

"Don't be careless. Even a body resurrected through Edo Tensei isn't completely safe in front of those people."

After warning Madara, Obito quickly sucked the dust into the dimension, and then he himself also disappeared into it!

"Don't even think about escaping!"

"It's alright, let them go, Kim."

Momoshiki's lips curled into a domineering and sinister smile: "As long as the 'Big Head' Ten-Tails' shell remains here, that's fine. As for the two that escaped, we can chase after them and deal with them whenever we want."

“That’s true,” Jin said.

"Whoosh!" The Kamui space-time settled.

Obito stood on the block, fully alert and guarding it.

Just now, the world of dust was plunged into darkness and chaos.

The tearing pain that started in his chest traveled to his neck, shoulders, and back.

With his blood circulation obstructed, he began to breathe rapidly and his face turned pale.

Fortunately, he had experienced a similar feeling once in his early years.

He felt grateful that the near-death experience he had had when light disturbed his meditation had allowed him to rehearse this critical situation between life and death.

This body, comparable to Hashirama Senju's, possesses extremely strong cellular healing power. Even with its heart pierced, it can still perform 'creation and regeneration' with astonishing healing power.

Therefore, after piercing the heart, I had to rotate the knife to ensure that the heart was destroyed more thoroughly in order to trigger this 'near death'.

Even if he achieves this, the healing power will slowly repair his heart cells, which is the foundation for him to stand up again.

Of course, this is on the premise that his will is strong enough to withstand the long process of heart repair.

Chen still has confidence in this matter.

He quickly went into hemorrhagic shock, his blood pressure plummeted, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his consciousness began to blur...

Suddenly! Dust's consciousness sank into the dark, chaotic ocean, and a human face rose up below, parallel to his inverted face.

When Chen saw his face clearly, his left eye widened!

“Jin…” Chen called out his name.

That's right, the short-haired face in front of him, which bears some resemblance to both Tobirama and Izuna, is his younger brother, Uchiha Jin!

Blood crawled from his dark eye sockets onto his cheeks, and his voice was both resentful and ferocious, "Big brother, didn't you say you would protect me for the rest of my life?"

Dust knew that the real Ash would not blame him.

Therefore, he was still able to clearly realize that the Jin before him was a manifestation of his regret and guilt, a negative emotion in his heart, similar to the Dark Naruto that Naruto saw when he saw the Fall of Truth.

Dust's memories were once again pulled back to the autumn of Konoha in 1973.

On the desolate land of the primordial space, Madara's eyes, sharp as knives, stared at the two above.

"Kinshiki and Momoshiki, two of the Otsutsuki trio shown in the Dust Illusion Technique."

Ban stood beneath the golem, his long hair flowing in the wind.

The Rinnegan's sharp, dagger-like gaze swept over the two above.

"Bring it on, Otsutsuki."

Chapter 37 Madara vs. Kinshiki and Momoshiki

Banlin stared at the two of them, pondering with meticulous attention to detail.

"After appearing unexpectedly, it adopted a teasing attitude towards its prey, clearly indicating that this was not a chance encounter."

"They're probably hiding in some space we passed through earlier. They sensed our presence when we opened the space-time portal and came after us."

"Seven or eight out of ten times it's an ice and snow space, because in the Dust Illusion Technique, the place where they fought Sasuke was a palace covered in white snow."

The white eyes beneath the peach-shaped veil also began to scrutinize the spots.

"Oh? The Rinnegan, and his chakra is quite powerful. Kaguya's Ten-Tails body was controlled by his Rinnegan."

"Jin Shi, go and take him down."

"It's my pleasure to serve you, Momoshiki-sama."

"Buzz!" A huge red halo appeared on Jin Shi's back, his weapon named [Powei God].

He said respectfully, "However, your veil may be stained by the filthy blood of a lowly creature. Please step off my shoulder for now, Lady Momoshiki!"

Momoshiki rises from a seated position, his body floating into the air, seemingly with no intention of making a move.

Ban raised an eyebrow and thought, "Oh? You call yourself a god and disdain joint attacks... Good, that suits me just the way it is."

Because compared to fighting and ruthlessness, Chen's safety is the primary concern.

Dust had already entered a state of shock due to his heart stopping.

Interstitial cells can significantly slow down the death process; it's now a race against death.

Whether to awaken first or to sever ties with the world first, Ban doesn't know!

The only thing he was certain of was that Chen absolutely could not suffer any further harm in any form!

Madara's gaze shifted to the chest of the 'Gedo Mazo'... the Hashirama artificial body that was establishing a life link with Chen through the 'Twin Flowers'!

This golem must absolutely... absolutely must not be affected!

One-on-one is relatively safer!

When fighting, I have to stay as far away from the golem as possible, but not too far, to prevent Momo from sneaking up on the golem.

"You inferior creature, now is not the time for you to look around!"

Jin Shi descended with immense pressure, his giant hand wielding a red light blade created by Bowei God, sweeping down!

—Wild Martial Fusion!

Ban Xunmin dodged ten meters away, quickly formed a hand seal, and then clasped his hands together!

"Boom!" The light blade cleaved the earth, and the red sword energy swept forward, approaching Madara's eyes, but was forcefully repelled by the golden flames that blazed on Madara's clasped hands!

With a "whoosh!", his palms slowly separated, and the vertically burning golden flames were stretched horizontally into the shape of a sword!

"This is a fusion of Hashirama's Sage Mode and Uchiha swordsmanship..."

—Immortal Technique: Fiery Blaze of the Divine Sword!

"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off before the gods!"

Jin Shi pressed forward, wielding both blades simultaneously, his burly figure moving with the agility of a butterfly and the speed of lightning!

As his body moved, the twin blades intertwined, creating a deadly trajectory that aimed directly at Madara's vital points!

But Madara, dressed in a red rose-patterned divine robe, moved with ease and swiftness amidst the intertwined, deadly blades, his golden flame sword unleashing torrents of blazing fire!

"Dang!" "Dang!" "Dang!"

Each time the sword and blade clashed, flames would be shaken off the Light Flame Sword, but they did not extinguish in the air. Instead, they transformed into golden fireballs that hovered behind Madara, constantly moving away as he swung his sword!

The fireballs piled up, but the power of the Light Flame Sword did not diminish in the slightest!

"Is the level of physical and sword skills this high... even possible for a human to achieve!?"

Jin Shi's prolonged attacks failed, causing him to grow increasingly impatient. The rampant fireballs only fueled his bad premonition.

The change in mindset was reflected in the details of his movements. Ban's gaze sharpened, and he accelerated his attack, seizing an opening, and with a clang, sent the golden-handed red blades flying into the air!

Kim's loss of composure caused Momo to frown in displeasure.
