114 Steve Chapter 113

[This Chapter is Sponsored by Nathan Berens] (Patreon)

After hearing everything, an involuntary thought crossed Zetsu's mind.

Could it be that someone else has impersonated Uchiha Madara?

Could it be that the other party has already seen through his lies, discovered that the Eye of the Moon and the Infinite Tsukuyomi are both fake, and arranged a backup plan in secret?

But that shouldn't be possible. The other party's body is still lying in the coffin he prepared.

But then, who is this person claiming to be Uchiha Madara?

They can use Wood Release, which indicates they've merged with Hashirama's cells, making them sages. Moreover, they used Earth Release to seal the rampaging Ichibi Shukaku, so it's clear their Rinnegan isn't fake either.

Even their temperament and personalities resemble Uchiha Madara's.

But he is Uchiha Madara.

So, what is the body he holds?

Honestly, Zetsu is truly perplexed. Could the other person really be a descendant of the Uchiha clan?

But that can't be right. In recent years, the Uchiha clan hasn't produced many powerful individuals. The only formidable Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, has become his puppet and is preparing to carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.

Zetsu's mind races, but he can't figure out where this 'Uchiha Madara' in front of him comes from.

It can't be his two damn brothers... Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's doing, right? The other party seems to be collecting Tailed Beasts. If they manage to collect all the Tailed Beasts, what will he do to summon the Ten-tailed beasts and revive his mother?

With filial piety?

Thinking about this, Zetsu is on the verge of breaking down. He has been preparing this plan for hundreds of years, and it's about to be put into action. But now a fake Uchiha Madara appears?

No, he has to inform that idiot, Obito, about this!

Considering that he's not powerful enough to deal with the other party, Zetsu quickly sinks into the earth's layers and hurriedly leaves the scene. This fake Uchiha Madara must be eliminated, and he can't let the other party ruin his plans!

Meanwhile, in the meeting room on the ground:

The communication between everyone and Fang Mo has almost come to an end.

The situation is clear. The people from Konoha have realized that they're no match for Fang Mo.

According to Nara Shikaku's judgment, if they engage in a battle with Uchiha Madara right now, it could potentially lead to the complete destruction of Konoha by other ninja villages. That would be too much of a loss.

After some discussion, they decide to pretend to submit to Uchiha Madara and take him back to Konoha before making any decisions.

However, the main force from Konoha is on foot, so the return journey would be slow. On the other hand, Minato possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique, which is faster than using the Return to Village Scrolls. With the Flying Thunder God Kunai he left behind in Konoha, he can report the situation to the Third Hokage within minutes.

When the main force returns to Konoha, they should be fully prepared for whatever comes next—whether it's an all-out war or a negotiation for peace. Everything will be decided by the Third Hokage.

Of course, Fang Mo knows what they're thinking.

However, he doesn't care at all.

After the recent fight, Fang Mo has already discovered the weaknesses of these shinobi from the Ninja World.

Their offensive power is undoubtedly strong, even higher than that of the Marvel or X-Men universes. Their ninjutsu is flashy and destructive.

But they're so fragile.

The Cloud Village soldiers, who are considered relatively strong among the rank-and-file, are easily killed by Fang Mo just using a Cosplay made from his Stand.

These ninjas bodies are as fragile as paper.

Fang Mo currently possesses the Ring of Arcana, granting him immunity to elemental-based attacks; the Evertide Amulet, which allows him to breathe underwater; Steve's Shared Durability; and his own tough skin. He can probably withstand a Tailed Beast Bomb with just a few scratches.

Apart from taking precautions against the Eight Gates-activated Guy, the Six Paths Mode users, and the Otsutsuki Clan members, few others can pose a threat to him.

Of course, he needs to be cautious of Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami as well.

But at the moment, Shisui probably hasn't awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan yet. If things don't go well, Fang Mo can always take out Shisui's eyes and try the Mangekyou Sharingan for himself.

He has already materialized it in the game. Unlike game items, when materialized in reality, it becomes an authentic eyeball. As everyone knows, eyes in the Ninja World are interchangeable. If he learns Kamui from Obito, then with the Mangekyou Sharingan from Shisui, would he not become Kamui Shisui? That sounds quite interesting, doesn't it?

Fang Mo had come to have fun, after all.

He pretends to be Uchiha Madara just for the sheer amusement of unifying the ninja world under the other party's identity. When the real Uchiha Madara wakes up and finds the world in peace, with the five great nations united as one, and everyone considering Fang Mo as the savior while berating and attacking the real Uchiha Madara, what would his reaction be?

Especially when he realizes that he can't defeat Fang Mo and that the real Uchiha Madara is suppressed by the fake one. Would he even start doubting who is real and who is fake?

In such a case, would he still have the mood to dance?

As for Zetsu, Fang Mo doesn't know that the guy has already been there, but just the thought of his expression makes him feel happy.

Fang Mo declares that he's going on a 'hunt for moms.'

He has to let Zetsu taste the feeling of losing his own mother.

And in order to make Zetsu lose his mother, Fang Mo decides to collect some Tailed Beasts first.

Since he sealed Shukaku with the Chibaku Tensei, it's a good opportunity to test his newly researched sealing technique—a non-destructive, enderium, Anti-Corrosion greatsword with the trait of 'Global Traveler and Portly Gentleman.'

He raises his hand and stabs the sword into the ground beneath a giant rock. A strange, End-like resonance erupts from the sword, and countless purple particles scatter in all directions. The entire Earth Release sphere begins to shake violently, as if something is moving underground.

Soon, Shukaku's body is twisted like a lump of dough and pulled into the sword. The center of the sword swells up as if it has swallowed something huge, but it gradually shrinks back to normal.

However, after absorbing Shukaku, the appearance of the sword undergoes a significant change. It had originally been a dark blue-black sword with the same color as Enderium Ingot in the game. However, after sealing... or capturing Shukaku, it turned a sandy yellow color. Strangely, numerous blue runes appeared on it.

Countless delicate sand grains surrounded the sword, making it look even more mysterious and eerie.

Fang Mo tried holding the sword's hilt.

Suddenly, a strange power flowed into his body through the handle.

It was a power full of brutality, with feelings of killing, anger, and madness. The viscous energy wrapped around his body and formed a semi-transparent coat.

"Tailed Beast Coat?"

Fang Mo glanced at the murky energy on his body and was slightly taken aback.

Soon, he thought of a possibility and aimed the sword's tip at a distant forest, recalling the mysterious feeling of controlling the Ring of Arcana.

Before long, a murky black-purple ball gathered at the tip of the sword.

Fang Mo's thoughts moved, and the ball instantly turned into a beam of light, hitting the distant forest. With a huge boom, the entire forest disappeared, leaving behind a dark-red giant pit and a solitary mushroom cloud slowly rising from the center.

"Damn! Is this for real!?"

Fang Mo was astonished to see the power of this weapon.

Originally, he had been researching the Tinker's Construct module to bring Wolverine and Logan to the Marvel universe. However, he hadn't expected that after materializing this item, it would possess a strange ability similar to 'Jinchuriki.'

"Tinker's Construct is amazing!"

Fang Mo looked at the Tailed Beast weapon in his hand and couldn't help but feel excited. "Damn, so incredible!"

He hadn't thought that after researching the Tinker's Construct module for so long, he could still discover such an unexpected surprise. It felt amazing.

Honestly, Fang Mo wanted to stuff Kaguya Otsutsuki into his weapon right away.

Just thinking about it made him feel convenient. During regular times, he could have her provide chakra or use her all-destroying Tsukuyomi to annihilate worlds. And if he had nothing else to do, he could reverse the roles.

During the day, he'd put Kaguya Otsutsuki in his weapon; at night, he'd put his weapon in Kaguya Otsutsuki.

How incredible would that be?

"This Naruto world is a good world."

Thinking about this, Fang Mo couldn't help but exclaim.

But before he could continue his musings, a shuriken suddenly landed nearby, and Minato's figure instantly appeared in front of him.

Fang Mo quickly put on his pretense again and acted as Uchiha Madara.

Minato didn't notice Fang Mo's expression since his attention was on the sandy sword in Fang Mo's hand. He looked at the sword, then at the ever-boiling Tailed Beast Coat on Fang Mo's body, and couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "Is this... did you seal Shukaku inside that sword!?"
