Chapter: 61 The Shinigami of the Naruto World

Hashirama was strong, and Madara had already realized this.

However, he didn't expect that while he was still troubled by the Uzumaki clan, Hashirama had already made a name for himself on the front lines of battle.

In the heart of the Land of Fire, where the Uchiha and Senju clans clashed, the battlefront stretched for thousands of miles, filled with bloodshed and carnage, where clan leaders became regular participants in the war.

Compared to the brutal warfare over there, their battle with the Uzumaki clan was like child's play.

Recalling their past agreement, Madara couldn't help but murmur, "Is that distant, unreachable dream what drives you forward?"

Looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, Madara's expression slowly shifted.

For both personal and professional reasons, he couldn't afford to linger here any longer.

Once the Uzumaki clan was dealt with, he would have to head to the main battlefield, where true combat, filled with blood and steel, awaited.

Beside him, Kyosuke shook his head with a helpless smile.

Every time Madara spoke of Hashirama, he would fall silent and become completely lost in his thoughts.

He had initially planned to discuss the composition of Wood Release and possibly ask Madara for a way to counter it.

But now, it seemed Madara was completely immersed in sweet memories, forgetting there were two others present.

After what felt like an eternity, Madara snapped out of his reverie and stood up, his face serious.

"It's about time."

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately performed the Transformation Technique and placed their hands on Kyosuke's shoulder.

"Let's go~"

Before the words had even fully faded, the three of them had vanished from sight.

Hidden Whirlpool Village, South Corner

Looking around at the completely different scenery, Madara and Yayoi exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of nostalgia.

Neither of them were new to traveling with Kyosuke, but the experience of being transported to a location several kilometers away in the blink of an eye never failed to amaze them.

"Go ahead, take your kunai, and I'll find you if anything happens," Kyosuke said.

He then raised both hands, crossing two fingers in front of him.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Bang, bang, bang!

The six clones, identical to the original, caused Madara and Yayoi to blink in surprise.

"What the heck? How can we not tell which one is his real body?!"

The strength of the Shadow Clone Jutsu lies in its ability to create near-perfect copies.

While it's not impossible to differentiate the clones from the original, it requires exceptionally sharp eyes—something neither of them could achieve at the moment.

This was also due to Kyosuke's exceptional mastery of the technique.

[Shadow Clone Jutsu (Level 4)]

As one of the most commonly used ninja techniques, he had pushed his Shadow Clone Jutsu to level 4.

Based on his estimations, reaching level 6 would unlock the possibility of learning Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Thinking about this, Kyosuke's gaze instinctively shifted to his attribute panel.

[Name: Uchiha Kyosuke

Physical Strength: Elite Chūnin

Mental Strength: Jōnin

Chakra Level: Jōnin

Skills Mastered: Uchiha-style Kenjutsu (Level 6), Three Body Technique (Level 6), Throwing Techniques (Level 7), Chakra Control (Level 5), Hand Seals (Level 6), Shisui's–style Body Flicker Technique (Level 5), Chidori (Level 6), Flying Thunder God Technique (Level 3), Shadow Clone Jutsu (Level 4)

Bloodline Limit: Sharingan (Three Tomoe)

Summoned Beast: None

Ninja Tools: None

Points: 4268]

Apart from the Shadow Clone, other abilities had also seen significant growth.

However, once a skill reaches level 6, the speed of upgrading slows dramatically.

Throwing techniques were simple, and every use of them increased experience.

Aside from that, there were no other abilities that could surpass the level 6 cap.

The Flying Thunder God technique was especially absurd. Despite a year of intense study, it had only reached level 3.

Kyosuke had a rough idea of how long it took for Minato Namikaze to perfect this technique.

From his conversations with Obito, there had likely been a gap of four or five years, or possibly even longer.

With that thought, Kyosuke felt a bit more at ease.

His mental and chakra strength were currently at the typical Jōnin level—not outstanding but still far beyond the average Chūnin.

As for his physical strength, there had been some improvement, but his 10-year-old age still limited his development in taijutsu.

There was nothing to be done, so Kyosuke continued to focus on studying the Chidori, starting with its shape transformation and gradually moving on to studying the nature transformation of Lightning Release.

This was a skill the system couldn't help with, and only hard work would lead to mastery.

Thus, the Shadow Clone Jutsu became extremely important for him.

By using Shadow Clones, he managed to impress his companions, and with satisfaction, Kyosuke gave different orders to each of them.

One clone was tasked with searching for the location of the shrine.

Another had to set up Flying Thunder God kunai to prevent the inevitable enemy pursuit.

One more was assigned to find Uzumaki Ashina's residence to loot his sealing scrolls.

Kyosuke's main body could wander around freely while the Shadow Clones did all the hard work, tirelessly fulfilling their roles.

If he had this ability in real life, he could work six or seven jobs and take advantage of capitalism.

What a thrilling thought.

After wandering aimlessly for a while, Kyosuke finally received intelligence from his Shadow Clones.

Using the coordinates left by the dissipating clones, he performed a Flying Thunder God technique and arrived at the legendary Uzumaki Shrine.

Looking at the familiar scene, his thoughts drifted, and he seemed to envision a future moment where Orochimaru would bring Sasuke to this place.

"Now, which one is the so-called Shinigami mask?" Kyosuke curiously approached.

From his memory, he quickly found the demon mask, which resembled the Shinigami.

Driven by curiosity, he placed the mask on his face.

The next moment, an indescribable terror descended, and strange chakra seemed to come from the skies, enveloping Kyosuke's body entirely.

"Damn!"

As his chakra flared up, he struggled to remove the mask.

This cursed Shinigami was too bizarre; it felt like his body was being taken over.

The cold, eerie energy felt familiar to chakra but had some strange differences.

In the dim shadows, a terrifying phantom appeared behind Kyosuke, and the chilling force intensified several times over.

He could barely hold on.

"Get the hell off me!"

At the critical moment, Kyosuke activated his Sharingan.

The sudden surge of mental energy allowed him to break free from the supernatural grip.

Seizing the opportunity, Kyosuke ripped off the mask and threw it to the ground.

Whew...

"That... that was absurd."

After a long while, he finally managed to calm his rapidly beating heart.

Picking the mask back up from the ground, Kyosuke frowned deeply, a question rising in his mind.

What exactly are these so-called gods, like the Shinigami and the Jashin worshiped by the Jashin Cult?
