Ch. 7 Shinigami!

I had to rewrite this chapter because the Chinese fanfic messed up and the next chapters make absolutely no sense if I don't make these changes

============

As the hard sandstone chipped away, the sand around Madara began to fall as he suddenly felt weightless, but couldn't see with the tons of sand falling on top of him.

Hed been falling for well over five seconds and didn't know how far he was gonna fall until-

*Boom!*

Feeling the impact of slamming into the ground, Madara began digging his way out of the thick sand pile that created a mini mountain on top of him.

Madara broke through the sand and could see an extremely large ceiling above him with that a hole at the top where bits of sand fell on top of him

"This the Forest I'm looking for?" Madara frowned slightly, his eyes suddenly turning crimson red as two tomoe appeared around his pupil. He looked around vigilantly, with an unhappy expression on his face.

It was too dark here, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. If it is not for the Two Tomoe Sharingan, Madara would be hard pressed to even see.

As he scouted his surroundings, Madara saw the gargantuan sized trees that sprouted out of the ground and pierced into the roof, their tree tops appearing as the bone white shrubbery on the surface.

Despite all of the trees, Madara just could see this as an actual forest. The trees were ivory white in color and had very little to no branches whatsoever, to Madara they looked like large pillars of marble that held up the surfaces of this world.

As he couldn't to scout his surroundings, Madara saw a slight indent into the ground indicating a path at which the Meno's Grande used.

With no directions to follow, Madara simply stepped onto the path of the Meno's Grande and began walking in its direction.

For this strange and dark place, Madara was not afraid but has an incredible excitement. After being reborn in this new world, continuing to grow stronger and evolve was Madara only goal in life and this was taking a major step in the direction of his goal.

Taking firm steps, Uchiha Madara walked calmly in the dark passage of the underground. Perhaps it was because the footsteps he made were too loud or because the place was simply too quiet, but Madara heard the unmistakable echo.

The moment the echo sounded, Madara's instincts immediately told him that something was wrong!

Sure enough in the very next moment, a familiar sound roared out!

The loud roar shook the ground but the Meno's Grande wasn't alone, a cacophony of roars sounded out all around Madara incessantly

The roars from the multiple Meno's Grande even began shaking the trees and sand surrounding them as Madara used two of his four hands to cover his ears as he vigilantly looked around

'This forest is perfect! I can't wait to meet more creatures like the sand one, these conditions are the best for growth!'

Even though he was surrounded by Menos Grande, Madara still didn't back down in the slightest but his eyes were full of fanatical fighting spirit.

Amidst the terrifying roars Menos Grande's footsteps approached gradually, every step they take will cause the ground to shake but this vibrating sound was the most beautiful sound in Madara's ears.

"Come! Show me every bit of your might before I devour you!"

At this moment, Madara seemed to return to that night in the Valley of the End where he fought Hashirama. Before he was fighting for revenge against the village, or for world peace, but now he was just fighting for himself!

Peforming a "Yin" seal, Madara took a deep breath.

"Fire Style, Fire Stream Jutsu!" Turning his head and body, Madara spewed fire it all directions and allowed him to fully see what was happening.

As the fire washed onto the trees and ground, Madara saw a dozen Meno's Grande stumbling towards him. He also noticed that while he had grow much larger in height, he previously had to look up at the creatures but now he stood eye to eye with them.

As Madara saw them, they also saw Madara and their next action shocked the old Ninja.

At the same time, all twelve Menos Grande opened their huge mouths that were as dark as the abyss, and a bright red flash slowly condensed in it.

They were about to unleash a Dozen Cero at once! With the fire and the Cero, the dark forest was now fully illuminated.

No matter how confident Uchiha Madara was, he has to be cautious in this situation. If he was hit by multiple ceros at once, the consequences would be disastrous.

Still, that doesn't hold Uchiha Madara back!

As time passed, the red light became brighter and brighter and when the red light condenses to the peak, Madara knew they were ready to attack!

Performing hand sign with 2 of his four hands, Madara watched and waited intently wirh his sharingan active.

As the Meno's Grande slightly arching their faces forward, Madara knew they were a second away from attacking and used his Jutsu at that moment!

"Earth Release, Hiding Mole jutsu!" The hardened sand beneath Madara feet was hit with his jutsu, turning the hard sand into an almost liquid like texture as his massive frame was quickly sinking underground.

Just as the beams of light were unleashed, Madara head had already sunk beneath the ground as he heard the loud explosions ringing out above him.

Hearing the sounds of Meno's Grande's roaring in pain, Madara knew their had to have been some friendly fire as he began quickly traversing underground as this jutsu was very costly.

Roars of anger and confusion rang out as Madara popped up behind the now close together circle of Meno's grande, his hands moving in a fury.

"Fire release, Great Fireball Jutsu!" Compared to the massive size of just the regular fireball, the great Fireball totally eclipsed it as it smashed its way towards the clustered group of hollows.

The fireball burnt and shattered the mask of four of the Meno's Grande and wounding the others, Madara noticed two dead Menos Grande in the distance who must've died in the volley of Cero.

Madara didn't want to allow the remaining wounded Meno's Grande to fully recover and immediately pulled out his four bone blades and charged the six burnt hollows.

------

At this time not far from where Madara and the Meno's Grande battled, there was a hidden cave here, bright and illuminated.

The loud explosion of dozens of Meno's grande going off at once was heard, slight shaking the walls of the cave.

"Is this Ceros?"

At the corner of the cave, a figure stood up. This figure was tall and burly, wearing a black shinigami outfit and an antelope-like Hollow mask, making him appear mysterious and powerful.

The man's name is Ashido Kano. More than 200 years ago he and his companions were hunting down Hollows In the overworld, when they became too overzealous and chased the hollows into the rift they tore in reality, leading them to the Forest of Menos Grande.

One by one the man witnessed all of his friend get killed by the hollows and when his best friend died to one of the creatures, he swore to remain in Hueco Mundo to hunt down the hollows.

For so many years, accompanied by endless loneliness and darkness, the man's only mission was to make the overworld of the living safer.

"What the hell is going on?....Could it be!?" There was a flash of light in Asido's eyes.

There are only one situation in his mind that can cause such a large-scale riot, another Shinigami appeared in the Menos Grande forest!

"Ill have to quickly confirm this!" Due to hunting and killing of countless Hollows in the past two hundred years, Ashido's strength has also improved by leaps and bounds compared to when her first arrived. Even a riot of 100 Menos Grande wouldn't pose a threat to him!

The man stepped forward forward of out his cave, disappearing in an instant as the Shinigami perfect the flash step similar to Body Flickering Jutsu.

---------

'You've already lost, stop resisting me!' Madara silently screamed out.

With each Meno's he consumed, he felt each and every soul within them desperately trying to gain control of him that I was difficult to fight off!

This wasnt a battle of combat skill or Spirit energy, it was a battle of wills! Madara will alone was struggling to contend against the over a thousands souls trying to overthrow his body and gain control!

Feeling the primal and hungry souls still existing within Madara body, all fighting against him, sent a wave of anger and disgust throughout him.

"I brought the ninja world to its heels! I reached the apex of power! I challenged all nations and won!...I am the Ghost Of The Uchiha and you will obey me!"

Blindingly spirit energy began pouring out of him in waves, brightening the darks forest in a blue light!

Amids the bright light, Madara felt the bones in his bones shatters and shrinking as the mask in his face began to shift and shrink! The pain madara felt was unbearable but despite this he felt joy, the souls within him began silence themselves as quietly fuses into him.

As the spirit energy around him began to fade, Madara's new form was revealed to the realm of Hueco Mundo!

He was now only 10 ft tall, his black cloak had wrapped around him and made a barbaric looking cloth which hid two of his four hands underneath. His mask seemed to differentiate slightly from his head as hair began growing out from the sides.

His bones armour had receded slightly and revealed more flesh, his bones swords had shrunk and became much more sleek but beside the appearance something more important happened!

Clenching his fist together, Madara felt an overwhelming strength coursing through his veins, his spiritual energy had been increased at least three times!

Amidst marveling his new evolution, Madara heard a powerful roar and spun around to see the Menos Grande's jet black mouth open as a red light began to condensed in its mouth.

Madara casually pulled out his sword as he no longer considered the Meno's Grande a threat, but merely wanted to test out his new power

Lifting one of his bone swords up, Madara was about to attack when he suddenly saw a flash of silver light!

A sword flashed out of the darkness and slashed the Menos Grande's mask in two, Killing it immediately.

"Who are you?" The Shinigami could voice said aloud.

=========

I had to rush Madara turning into an Adjuchas in order for the next chapters to make sense, but it does makes sense in universe for this to happen.

For a Menos Grande to turn into an Adjuchas, all it takes is for one of the hundreds of souls within the Hollow to wrestles control and gain an ego.

Madara already had an Ego so him quickly turning into an Adjuchas would makes sense but it really was because the Chinese fanfic heavily revolves around Madara being human sized so I had evolve him
