Chapter 70 : Second Place

"Uchiha Madara!"

"He actually came back to life!! "

In Iwagakure, Onoki, who was congratulating Han, saw the voice that appeared in the live broadcast of Golden List. His body trembled, and his heart raced. 

At the secret base within the village, Danzo swallowed hard and discarded the idea of using an "extra arm and resurrection coin." Instead, he began contemplating the return of his right eye and right arm.

In the largest arena, Sarutobi Hizen suddenly felt less enthusiastic about resurrecting Sarutobi Asuma. 

After all, he was in a precarious situation himself. Wouldn't it be ironic to be killed again after being resurrected?

Mitokado Homura and Koharu frantically considered how to distance themselves from this situation.

Thinking on behalf of Sand Shinobi, Karura swallowed and glanced at Rasa with increasing doubts. She wondered if she should directly contact Sand Shinobi on the Golden List chat channel.

Ninja Shura won't play games with them.

There was no doubt about the resurrection of Uchiha Madara.

People from Konoha, Sand Shinobi Gaara, Kirigakushi Terumi Mei, Cloud Shinobi Darui, and Rock Shinobi Yu-Han were all involved.

Some from the five major ninja villages had received rewards from the Golden List, and no one questioned its authority and authenticity.

Uchiha Obito must be alive.

The live feed on Golden List was in the present.

Therefore, the figure beside Uchiha Obito was undoubtedly Uchiha Madara!

Senju Tobirama: "Look at those eyes and the lines on his body; it's a impure world reincarnation!"

Uchiha Madara: "Yes, though I don't like you, I have to commend your Ninjutsu development."

Senju Tobirama: "Don't play coy, my hunch seems right. This Uchiha Obito is your pawn. You have a grand scheme, and now that I see you don't even hide the Rinnegan, I suppose you're not planning to stay in the shadows."

Uchiha Madara: "I acknowledge your wisdom, but it's still quite disgusting."

Senju Tobirama: "I don't mind; I'm just curious about your plans, starting from the end of the battle at the Valley."

Uchiha Madara: "You think I'll tell you? Naive!"

Senju Hashirama: "Madara, we're beings of ancient times and shouldn't be roaming around."

Uchiha Madara: "Shut up; I'm going to correct your mistakes."

Tobirama: "Don't think you've won, @Uchiha Ran @Orochimaru. Hurry up and resurrect my big brother. Others told me you don't have my big brother's flesh and blood. I don't believe it."

Orochimaru: "Jie Jie Jie, soon. Please wait for some time, First Hokage and Second Hokage."

Uchiha Ran: "Well, the charade is over. Let's stop pretending. I've actually known how to resurrect for a long time, but I don't have Hashirama's cells."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "...I don't have that kind of thing."

Danzo: "I have it... I'll send it right away. Resurrecting the First Hokage is better than just Uchiha Madara. There should be no one who can stop this god-tier in the ninja world for the time being."

Uchiha Madara: "This time, not even Hashirama's resurrection will stop me."

Senju Tobirama: "Where do you get the confidence from? You  were defeated by the eldest brother?"

Senju Hashirama: "Ah, Madara, I have to agree with Tobirama. Damn, your eyes can still change!"

In the live video on Golden List:

Uchiha Madara, with his arms folded across his chest, suddenly changed his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into a pair of Rinnegan eyes glowing with purple light.

"Didn't Tobirama guess it long ago?"

"The eyes of Rinnegan are mine!"

"This is the eyes of a sage."

"Hashirama, even if you enter Sage Mode, you still just have pseudo-sage body. You won't be my opponent!"

Uchiha Madara's Declaration.

In a word, Hashirama was already in a tough spot.

Madara never intended to pretend to be someone he's not; he liked to confront things directly!

Being a master of Genjutsu, he didn't need to hide behind it.

When no one used Ninjutsu, he didn't need to either.

But he appreciated "fairness."

If he was outnumbered five to one, he would respond in kind.

Madara was truly exceptional!

Senju Tobirama: "As expected..."

Senju Hashirama: "I always said that the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu was no good. You should have banned it like I suggested."

Senju Tobirama: "It's banned now; you showed the sealed book to Uchiha Madara."

Hashirama: I messed up.

Tobirama : Indeed.

Ninjas watching the live broadcast couldn't keep calm.

Uchiha Madara, resurrected and more potent than when he became a legend. What should they do?

"Puff, I never expected Madara to come back to life."

On the back of the Suicune, Uchiha Ran rubbed his eyebrows.

Somewhat unexpected.

But it made sense.

A person like Madara, not manipulated by someone like Black Zetsu from his early years, would undoubtedly be the most successful BOSS. He understood the importance of not putting all his eggs in one basket.

Black Zetsu and Obito watched over each other.

Nagato was a revival card, but there had to be a backup plan.

During the Fourth Ninja World War, Madara discovered that he was being reincarnated. He wasn't surprised, just displeased.

"But it doesn't matter."

Uchiha Ran smiled lightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

With the Golden List now in play, the future was no longer set in stone.

And with the strength he currently possessed, according to his plan, he would be ready in three years.

At that time, following the qualification to become a Ten Tails Jinchūriki, Kaguya would be on maternity leave.

The future looked more interesting.

"Considering Madara's personality, the next step will be to either approach Nagato or me."

"That's right, ask him to accompany me on my mission."

"But before that, let Akatsuki members organize  themselves."

Uchiha Ran raised his head and looked ahead.

Sister Konan had left his embrace.

Because he understood.

It was obvious that Sister Konan couldn't show any affection in front of other Akatsuki members.

But that would change in the future.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Black Zetsu asked Uchiha Madara, "Lord Madara, do you think Obito should choose option one or two?"

This unexpected question grabbed everyone's attention.

All eyes were on the Golden List.

Option 1: Perfect Sage Body (Perfect Blending Wood Style, advanced Senju physique, left eye Mangekyō reborn)

Option 2: One intermediate draw from Myraid Realms

Obito's choice was clear.

The power of two Mangekyō Sharingan was undeniably tempting. It came with a high-level physique and an intermediate-level Wood Style bloodline limit. With the right effort, he might even attain the Rinnegan.

Option two, however, held the allure of the unknown.

Madara was more interested in option one.

After all, if he were to be truly resurrected in the future, he needed the Rinnegan.

But he didn't reveal his eagerness.

"I choose option one!"

Obito didn't say anything, but his choice was made.

At the same time, he removed the mask from his face.

Everyone saw his face.

Half of it was ruined, wrinkled, scarred, ugly!

Hateful people could be pitiful.

"Oh, Obito..." Kakashi gritted his teeth.

He was certain.

Not only was half of Obito's face disfigured, but half of his body had been crushed by boulders, rendering him barely humanoid.

No one knew, even if Uchiha Obito became a Ten Tails Jinchūriki in the future, this injury would never fully heal.

However, he now had a chance.

A beam of light descended from the Golden List, covering his body.

When the light dissipated, everyone saw that his face had returned to normal, and the Sharingan in his left eye had transformed into Mangekyō.

Obito had been using Mangekyō, but he now faced Uchiha Madara!

"Obito!" Kakashi couldn't hold back his tears.

The left eye was still the Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Outsiders couldn't see the difference.

But those involved knew that the burden had been reduced by 90% in an instant!

Even though the Three Tomoe Sharingan still required a steady supply of chakra, Kakashi needed to use at least four times as much chakra as before.

The eyes hadn't changed, but the gift Obito had given him, even though he despised him, was irreplaceable.

However, Mangekyō's ocular jutsu had been lost!

Kakashi realized that he would likely face Obito in battle in the future.

"This power..."

"The difference between one eye and two eyes is astonishing."

Feeling the pure power of the additional eye, Uchiha Obito finally understood why Black Zetsu had always pushed him to regain his eyes.

But something was amiss.

"Also, it feels like something's missing from my chest," Obito frowned.

Black Zetsu sensed it too, his expression changed, and he turned to Uchiha Madara.

The spell controlling Obito had been broken.

Madara used to find it troublesome, but now he didn't care.

"You lead the way; we're going to find Nagato!"

Madara said to Obito as if nothing had happened.

Obito nodded, his eyes narrowing.

"Kamui!"

All three of them were sucked into the Kamui dimension.

Yo!

The golden bell rang again.

A 3D image appeared.

A handsome young man with black hair, wearing the Akatsuki organization's uniform with a red cloud pattern on a black background. His nails were painted with dark purple nail polish.

The image rotated and entered the top of the Golden List.

Second place: Uchiha Itachi (Mangekyō Sharingan)

Option 1: Incarnate as a spirit after death; you can designate a host "body attachment, super spirit body."

Option 2: Become a heroic spirit after death; you can designate a summoner.

In the Golden List live broadcast room, the screen shook.

Uchiha Itachi's face appeared before everyone.

Terumi Mei: "Uchiha genes are really good at producing handsome guys."

Haruno Sakura: "I couldn't agree more."

Yamanaka Ino: "Absolutely!"

Konan: "Silently agreed."

Tsunade: "In this regard, I have to give the Uchiha clan some credit."

Uchiha Madara: "Boring."

Senju Tobirama: "Madara, don't worry, except for you."

Senju Hashirama: "Tobirama, enough nonsense. Madara is still very handsome, just a hundred million points less than me."

Uzumaki Naruto: "Damn, I didn't know Sasuke was so handsome because of his genes. Dad, why aren't we from the Uchiha clan?"

Namikaze Minato: "Huh?"

Uzumaki Kushina: "Son, don't you know that your father's looks match his strength? Even the Uchiha clan bows to the invincible Yellow Flash."

Uchiha Fugaku: "Although I hate to admit it, Minato is genuinely handsome. Fortunately, Sasuke and Itachi are as handsome as me."

Uchiha Mikoto: "Is that so?"

Uzumaki Naruto: "Since my dad is so handsome, why doesn't anyone say I'm handsome?"

Tsunade of Senju: "From a genetics perspective..."

Uzumaki Kushina: "Tsunade sister, are you saying I'm not beautiful? Minato had so many admirers, but he fell for me at first sight!!!"

Namikaze Minato: "Yes, Kushina is very beautiful. I like the red hair of the Uzumaki clan. If Naruto looks like her, he'll be very handsome."

Uchiha Madara: "In this dog-food-filled discussion, I dub the Uchiha the champions."

Tsunade: "I admit that Kushina is also quite pretty, but Minato, your naming sense rivals your aesthetics."

What happened to the name of Tobirama: "Fourth Hokage?"

Tsunade: "Minato, what do you think about renaming Naruto?"

Namikaze Minato: "How about Saruto? (Excited to take over)"

Uzumaki Naruto: "So cool!"

Senju Tobirama: "Like father, like son, you two are quite something."

Uchiha Itachi:....

Why did these people get so carried away?

Shifting his gaze, he looked at Uchiha Ran, who had moved away from the Golden List perspective.

Uchiha Itachi asked, "Fifth Hokage, do you know what spirits and heroic spirits are?"
