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

Chapter 15 Hidden Ninja Village

Of course, the idea of ​​using my brother's eyes to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was something Chen had never even considered for a second.

Conversely, Chen wants to help his younger brother obtain these eyes.

As the revenge draws to a close, Chen's suppressed pain not only fails to find release, but he also senses that the remorse for his parents' deaths and the violent fire within him will eventually consume the only important person in his life. A feeling of disgust arises from the depths of his heart.

However... this aversion is no longer the aversion to the real world of the past.

Chen deeply loves this ninja world; what he despises is himself!

Why did he fail to cherish the second chance given to him by God?

He felt that he was not worthy of this beloved world!

He contemplated suicide.

Unable to protect his younger brother any longer, Chen naively thought, "Let him use my eyes to protect himself."

At this point, Chen Fang spoke again: "But... I never expected that Jin, seeing me 'dead,' would immediately want to end his own life and follow me, my silly little brother!"

"My revenge is now complete."

"I killed my parents in a moment of impulse, and then spent three years paying the price for that moment of impulse."

"At the age of thirteen, Naruto and Sasuke, born in the same year, started the gears of destiny called 'Team 7' and began their arduous training as ninjas!"

"And I, too, with the body and mind of a thirteen-year-old, was like the dregs of medicine about to dry up, having lost the motivation to move forward. At that time, I thought that I could no longer continue as a ninja."

"Fortunately, there is always a way out. At the most confused moment in my life, I met a Zen master."

"He sat upright on top of a large rock, his hands clasped together, his eyes calm and profound. At first glance, I recognized him as a wise man, so I asked him for advice on the meaning of life."

"I remember the Zen master did something strange at the time. He stared at the empty sky for a long time, then shook his head, coughed violently a few times, and then lowered his head and sighed, 'Everything is destiny.'"

Chen Chenmu pondered and said, "To this day, I still don't know what the Zen master saw at that time, nor do I know what he meant by 'destiny'."

"In short, the Zen master, who had never taken on any disciples in his life, decided to accept me as his disciple."

"He taught me techniques for focusing on the present moment and returning to peace."

"I desperately need a technique to control the beast within me."

“Through the Zen master’s teachings and personal example in meditation, I finally tamed that beast completely. I found the peace I had longed for, and the passion to keep going.”

"As if he had completed his mission, the Zen master's life came to an end. Before he passed away, he entrusted his little granddaughter to me, as well as the key that could open the 'Gate of Peach Blossom Spring'."

"That year, I was sixteen. Obito began to control Akatsuki and launched the plan to hunt the Tailed Beasts. Naruto and Sasuke's generation of ninjas also grew up..."

"..." Obito lowered his gaze, as if he saw a face with a whirlpool mask reflected in the puddle in front of him.

"At sixteen, I met Hikaru that year, well... let's leave aside personal feelings for now."

At this point, Chen subconsciously touched his nose: "I've discovered that I have a new ability, which is to predict the 'future' through dreams."

"After I told my brother about the future, he decided to fully support me. The two of us joined forces and started our operation. You two should know exactly what we did, right?"

“My eye powers are [Omota-ryu] and [Boyasu], while my younger brother’s eye powers are [Toyomiki-sou] and [Mitobo-on]. My younger brother has played an indispensable role in enabling me to complete the current preliminary arrangements…”

At this point, Chen paused, his words and his retreating figure both pausing for a moment.

"But seven years ago, my younger brother died under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind the young twins 'Wind' and 'Flower,' as well as... the 'Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan' that brought light to my eyes, which were on the verge of blindness."

"..." At this point, Ban lowered his head sadly.

Chen's deep voice rang out again. "My brother's death caused a series of subtle changes in my brain. I no longer have those dreams that foresee the future. My brother's mysterious death and the uncertain future forced me to make a certain degree of compromise with the status quo. This compromise is reflected in my plans after that."

“I’ve thought about it a lot. Maybe one day I will follow in my brother’s footsteps, but no matter what, I have to make arrangements for the children’s future first.”

"..." At this point, Guang bit his lip tightly.

Chen said, "So, I decided to establish a stable 'rear base.' I don't have that much time to squander, so I need ways to make money. In my early years, I confiscated money from the black-hearted rich merchant Gato from the Land of Waves, but I left it there without spending it. I used that money to start some gray-area businesses, and then invested all the money I earned into the construction of the Hidden Ninja Village in Peach Blossom Spring."

"Look, it's right in front of you." Chen stopped on the mountain wall that resembled the Hokage Rock of Konoha Village. As the sunlight shone through the swaying trees and fell on Chen's face, it dispelled the gloom of the past.

In the Land of Lightning, at the home of Dust and Light.

Sasuke stood by the window, his gaze somber. "The sudden disappearance of Chen's chakra is quite strange. I suspect he has space-time abilities."

Naruto did not respond to Sasuke. He had been sitting at the dining table for half an hour, gazing at Chen's family photo.

Sasuke turned around and asked curiously, "Is there a problem with that photo?"

Naruto stroked the protective film on the photo frame and said, "No, I was just thinking, so this guy also has a wife and kids."

Sasuke said matter-of-factly, "Isn't this normal? According to the intelligence, he was born in the same year as us, and now our children have officially become ninjas."

Naruto shook his head. "That's not the issue. He clearly has a wife and children, yet he still engages in those shady dealings that can't be seen by others, spreading dangerous rumors as if he wants to stir up trouble! He even laid a hand on Madara, someone who once brought the ninja world to the brink of annihilation!"

"Honestly... if he were all alone, it wouldn't matter! But now! I! am! furious! As a father, he shows absolutely no consideration for his family!"

Sasuke tacitly agreed with Naruto's words. He picked up Chen's chakra crystal and said, "This chakra crystal allows us, who are far away in the Land of Fire, to vaguely sense him in the Land of Lightning. Now his chakra reaction has completely disappeared. He must have gone to a region that is even more distant than the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning. Based on this, we have a general idea of ​​the area. Let's explore it one by one using my Rinnegan's space-time abilities!"

Naruto got up and put the photo frame back on the TV cabinet...

A village filled with buildings suddenly appeared before Madara and Obito!

That was a village that looked much more prosperous than Konoha!

Throughout the village streets and alleys, one can see people bustling about.

At this moment, the most eye-catching sight is the large white bird cruising at high speed in the sky.

"Hmm? That flamboyant look..." Obito raised an eyebrow, his Sharingan gazing into the distance, and he saw a beautiful boy with a golden ponytail on the bird's back, using the miniature telescope in his left eye to survey the surroundings!

"Deidara...?"

After recognizing the person, Obito looked at Chen in astonishment, "What's going on?"

Deidara, along with most of the Edo Tensei resurrected individuals, was sealed away by the Allied Shinobi Forces during the Fourth Shinobi World War. Later, when Itachi manipulated Kabuto Yakushi to release the Edo Tensei, their souls ascended to heaven.

Chen calmly said, "Including former Akatsuki members, I have collected the life essence of most of the named ninjas in the ninja world. After the Fourth Shinobi World War ended, I gradually resurrected them using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

"Of course, souls like 'Sasori' and 'Itachi,' who have fulfilled their long-cherished wishes and have no more attachment to the mortal world, are not included in this category. Furthermore, Nagato, sealed within the Totsuka Blade by Itachi, cannot be resurrected through Edo Tensei." (Itachi's soul did not ascend voluntarily; whether it lingered or not is a matter of debate. The setting in this work is that Itachi no longer lingers; his brother is tired, let him sleep peacefully, and we will not disturb him.)

Obito sighed deeply, "What a grand scheme! How did you manage to make these dangerous guys obey you so readily? It couldn't be one of those mind-erasing zombie talismans that Orochimaru and Kabuto used, could it? Just look at the lifelike expression on Deidara's face, and I know he wasn't stripped of his personality."

Ban's gaze also turned to Chen; he was also eager to know the answer to this question.

Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly uttered three words.

"Other gods."

Chapter 16 Lord Shadow

Kotoamatsukami...!

Obito's thoughts raced. "Shisui's left eye is in your hands!?"

Madara said, "I do know about Kotoamatsukami. It is recorded in the Uchiha's eye technique scroll. It was a fleeting eye technique in the early Warring States period, but it directly changed the Uchiha's position in war for many years to come."

"The Shisui you're talking about, you wouldn't happen to be the guy known as Shisui of the Body Flicker during the Third Shinobi World War, would you?"

During that time, Madara hid in his underground lair and gathered information about the outside world through White Zetsu, which is how he came to know about Shisui.

However, Ban didn't take it seriously at the time.

"That's right, it's that Shisui of the Instantaneous Movement."

"Oh? He awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan? And nurtured Kotoamatsukami? That's quite strange."

It's no wonder Madara didn't know; Shisui had awakened his Sharingan long ago, but he kept it hidden until the eve of the Uchiha coup in Konoha. Only then did he reveal the secret of his Sharingan to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen, and Danzo.

Chen then explained the matter to Madara, which led to the revelation of the Uchiha clan massacre and the deeds of Itachi.

"I see. When the Edo Tensei was suddenly dispelled, I even told the Five Kage that there were a few capable ninjas in the Allied Shinobi Forces. I never imagined it would be Sasuke's brother, Itachi Uchiha..."

"After Kotoamatsukami was activated, Itachi used Amaterasu to burn the crow implanted in Shisui's left eye, and I used Omota Ryu to retrieve that eye. Madara-san should be able to imagine the specific steps!"

"Hmm." Madara raised his hand and, through his divine robes, gently touched Hashirama's eye sockets...

"I can totally imagine it."

Obito asked, "But since it's Kotoamatsukami that's already been activated, it needs Hashirama cells to quickly restart, right? Did you also have Hashirama cells transplanted, Chen?"

"No, but I have another clever use for it."

Dust bit his finger, dipped it in blood, and made a mark.

—The art of spirit communication!

"Bang!" A bird, three feet long and adorned with white feathers, appeared in the white smoke and landed on Chen's left shoulder.

The bird coldly turned its eyes.

His right eye socket was a pitch-black hole.

In his left eye socket was a Mangekyou Sharingan with a four-wheeled, knife-like pattern.

Obito recognized it at a glance: "Yes, it's Shisui's eyes!"

Chen said, "This is the Guhuoniao, a summoning bird that I cultivated using Hashirama cells. I used it as a vessel to activate Kotoamatsukami!"

Compared to Shisui's right eye, Madara was actually more surprised by the existence of the Ubume: "Dust, you're also good at cell culture?"

He used the Gedo Mazo to cultivate that artificial body of Hashirama.

The technique of cultivating sentient beings through contracts is clearly superior.

Chen smiled and said, "Well, that's a long story. I specifically asked someone for advice. I'll explain in detail another time."

"Huh? What's that?!" The white smoke screen created by the Ubume was captured by Deidara, who was on patrol, using his 'telescope'. The C2 dragon, while flying at high speed, was pulled and suddenly turned downwards!

"Invaders to Peach Blossom Spring? That's truly rare!"

Deidara reached into his ninja tool pouch at his waist and chewed on clay with a "slurp slurp slurp!"

"Perfect for testing my art!! Hmm."

"..." Chen raised his eyes, "!!" Deidara's expression suddenly changed!

He crushed the artwork he had just created directly into his ninja tool bag!

The flying dragon charged straight at him, and Deidara prostrated himself before Dust!

"I never expected it to be Lord Shadow! My apologies! I almost tarnished art here!"

Madara and Obito were both observing Deidara!

They looked at each other in astonishment, their surprise no less than when they learned that Chen possessed the 'Kotoamatsukami' and the 'Guhuoniao'!

Because, with their unparalleled eyesight, they could not see any trace of Deidara being manipulated by illusions!

Ban thought to himself: What's going on... According to legend, Kotoamatsukami shouldn't have this kind of power, right?

Having witnessed Kotoamatsukami firsthand, Obito was even more certain: Kotoamatsukami can alter a person's thoughts without the target's awareness, but this is only because the victim is unaware of it. Others can ultimately use sensory methods such as the Sharingan or Byakugan to detect the abnormality in the brain's chakra pathways and then take steps to remove it...

During the Five Kage Summit, Danzo's sabotage of Mifune was discovered by the Byakugan of Kirigakure.

"Could it be...?" Ban realized something as he pondered, his gaze falling on Chen's 'left eye'.

Chen Xin said: As expected of Uncle Ban, he saw through the essence from the phenomenon so quickly...

That's right... it's the [Midubo Nen] in the left eye, the eye technique that was originally nurtured in the left eye of his younger brother Jin, and was inherited by Chen after the eye was transplanted.

It can bring excess returns to the 'techniques' that are applied in conjunction.

When combined with the Impure World Reincarnation, it can break through the limits of the Impure World Reincarnation, allowing Madara to use the power of the original owner of the Rinnegan, and allowing Obito to retain his body and eyes that have been imbued with the power of the Six Paths.

When used in conjunction with 'Kotoamatsukami', it can permanently eliminate abnormal chakra reactions in the brain meridians of the recipient!

Not only is it unobservable, but the backdoor to undo Kotoamatsukami's manipulation has also been completely shut down.

The illusion became reality.

This is—[Mitobo Nen Kotoamatsukami]!

Those who have been subjected to this other god will forever become prisoners of the spirit of dust, and the extent to which they are prisoners depends entirely on the will of dust.

Dust generally doesn't completely erase the target's original personality. Instead, it preserves a portion of their individuality, provided they remain absolutely loyal and behave themselves within their own territory.

Just like Deidara before us, he still has a deep love for art.

Of course, depending on each person's specific situation, the intensity of the "eye drops" applied will vary.

"Bang!" The Guhuoniao disappeared into the white smoke.
