Chapter 263: The King of Life-Killing Species and the Silver Wolf Under the Moon
[Warning. Reincarnator EX051, your assimilation of Uchiha Madara will have a significant impact on this world. World difficulty will undergo unpredictable changes.]
[You have obtained 1 B-Grade Singularity.]
[Due to your influence, relevant plot characters and questlines will be removed from this world.]
Kaito Shirogane opened his eyes. After returning from the world of consciousness and seeing the clear Nexus notifications, he realized he had caused irreversible distortion to the plot world, just like [Moon Demon] and [White Mask] had done before.
If any Reincarnators entered this world in the future, they would receive a notification: Due to the influence of Reincarnator XX, plot characters such as Uchiha Madara and Namikaze Minato, along with their questlines, have been removed.
This was what Reincarnators were—a swarm of locusts stealing [Information] for the Infinite Dimensional Nexus, twisting world after world beyond recognition.
What slightly surprised Kaito Shirogane was that, according to the Nexus's judgment, Uchiha Madara's disappearance caused less change to this world than the Reaper's disappearance.
After thinking about it, Kaito realized that on the timeline level, Uchiha Madara wasn't actually that important. According to the established events, even without Madara, Obito would still collect the Tailed Beasts and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
The Reaper, however, contained half of the Nine-Tails' Chakra, which had a greater impact on the timeline. To be precise, those two B-Grade Singularities he got earlier were probably for the half-Nine-Tails and Namikaze Minato that were still inside the Reaper's belly.
The Reaper itself wasn't that crucial to the world's direction.
"You really didn't die..."
Orochimaru gripped a kunai tagged with a sealing formula. It was his contingency plan to control the Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara in case Mercenary Tao messed up and died.
The strength of a revived individual depended somewhat on the vessel used. Orochimaru had been worried that given Mercenary Tao's terrifying strength and unique constitution, he might revive a truly monstrous Uchiha Madara.
He was both relieved and secretly disappointed when Mercenary Tao opened his eyes looking completely normal, as if Uchiha Madara's soul entering his body had no effect at all.
He recalled the death of his teacher, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Although his chest was charred black, the seal of the Reaper Death Seal was still visible. He must have used it on Mercenary Tao before he died, but... it had also been ineffective.
"Let's move at full speed. We should complete the Land of Lightning's Royal Capital Collapse Plan before midnight."
Kaito Shirogane spoke. The group climbed back onto the summoning beasts and began sprinting directly toward the Land of Lightning.
The major countries in the Naruto world were concentrated, and the distances and areas weren't excessively large.
Given the tireless running ability of the special beasts Pain summoned, half a day was enough to cross the border.
In a world like this, the lack of high-level vehicles didn't matter much.
In a cave filled with skeletal remains, a golden light radiated naturally.
A Golden Erdtree, less than two meters tall, swayed in the cave with the mountain breeze from outside.
A figure wearing iron armor that looked completely out of place in the ninja world knelt before the tree, praying devoutly. Suddenly, he turned his head. In the darkness, his pupils were ringed with golden light.
In his vision, a familiar figure slowly walked in from outside the cave.
"It's time for you to go, Minoru Hiranaka."
Providence looked at the bones on the ground and the Golden Erdtree that had successfully taken root. A smile appeared on her face.
She didn't look at Minoru Hiranaka, speaking plainly.
Minoru Hiranaka stood up slowly.
Clank, clank.
The special heavy armor uncurled, exuding an unusually heavy texture.
"Did you find Shikkotsu Forest?"
Minoru Hiranaka's voice, filtered through the armor, sounded muffled.
Providence looked at him like this and suddenly asked with a mischievous intent, "You're actually concerned about that? You're not going to ask me if I've seen your wife?"
The man in the armor fell silent.
Through this, Providence gained a clearer understanding of the power of the Golden Order and the complexity of human nature.
The weaker the human, the easier they were swept up by a sense of "mission," feeling they were chosen by destiny to shoulder responsibilities that weren't theirs. For this, they were willing to give up the things they once cherished most.
Providence waved her hand. While continuing to infuse Natural Energy, she took several pieces of Tailed Beast meat from her inventory.
"No need to look for Shikkotsu Forest for now. Without the sages, we'll use Tailed Beasts instead."
"Soon, the person destined to help you will appear. Before you expose this place, I want you to go toward the Land of Lightning and find him."
Providence didn't want to delay Mercenary Tao's mission. There was no need to provoke a guy like that. In her opinion, [White Mask] and his group's choices were completely wrong.
She would rather sacrifice some profit to ensure Mercenary Tao didn't deliberately ruin her mission.
Between a lose-lose and a win-win, she would always choose the win-win.
Minoru Hiranaka stood up. His body had become quite large, completely different from the ninjas and ordinary people of this world.
He carried a heavy greatsword on his back, stained with quite a bit of blood.
"Won't that Uchiha Obito you mentioned find this place?"
Minoru Hiranaka looked at the Golden Erdtree. The feeling that his life and soul could rest within it was truly wonderful.
He was certain this was the future everyone in the world yearned for.
Without the threat of death, everyone could live happily. Before the Golden Order, everything returned to how it should be.
"He's probably searching the world for his eye right now. Unfortunately, by the time he finds it, the plan to collect the Tailed Beasts will be long gone."
"That is good."
Minoru Hiranaka walked out of the cave. He looked up and saw a full moon shining on the earth. The Golden Erdtree's brilliance could not yet cover the whole world.
He had heard Providence describe it. Eventually, the Golden Erdtree would spread its blessing across the entire world.
This world wouldn't be planted with some world-devouring Divine Tree. The only thing that would grow in this world was—the [Golden Erdtree]!
Minoru Hiranaka disappeared into the night at the border of the Land of Fire.
Far away in Konoha, brutal battles continued to erupt.
Blood began to flow from Uchiha Shisui's eyes. The appearance of Susanoo made both the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage wary.
Although both had means to counter it, neither wanted to make the first move while the other was present.
Their villages were bitter enemies. Both worried that if they engaged Shisui in a fight to the death, the other would strike them from behind.
Under this delicate balance, Konoha's battle lines were successfully held.
When Uchiha Shisui retreated into Konoha, the villagers who usually hated and feared the Uchiha rushed forward excitedly.
Over a day and a half of war, the name Uchiha Shisui resounded across the battlefield once more.
Wherever he appeared, the enemy villages retreated. Now, facing two Kage-level powerhouses, Uchiha Shisui had still protected Konoha!
Uchiha Shisui forced a smile. Blood flowed continuously from the corners of his eyes. The consumption of ocular power was immense. He felt he couldn't keep this up much longer.
To break the stalemate, he would either have to launch a surprise attack and kill the enemy leaders, or... use Kotoamatsukami to change the Raikage's or Tsuchikage's mind...
But both methods were problematic. One violated his ninja way, and the other would cost him his trump card against Mercenary Tao and Pain.
Uchiha Shisui felt incredibly exhausted. Returning to the clan compound, Uchiha Fugaku summoned him to his home.
"Shisui, today, Providence showed me something."
He opened his hand. In his palm lay a Golden Rune.
The intense vitality emanating from it surprised Shisui.
"This is..."
Fugaku's expression was complex.
"Perhaps... this is the only chance Konoha has to win."
Win?!
Uchiha Shisui found it hard to believe. Facing the siege of two ninja villages, Konoha was barely holding on. He heard that Kirigakure and Sunagakure had also invaded the Land of Fire, and the front lines were constantly retreating.
In this situation, Konoha still had a chance to win?
Uchiha Fugaku suddenly closed his eyes, then opened them again. On his scarlet Sharingan, a golden luster formed a ring.
"This is the power of the Golden Order that Miss Providence spoke of..."
BOOM!
Kaito Shirogane's body expanded fully, muscles bulging block by block. He grew to over three meters tall, but right now, he felt nowhere near his limit.
He looked at the full moon in the sky. Power was surging out endlessly.
Far more exaggerated than his muscle expansion was Kaito Shirogane's power efficiency. It had completely broken through the theoretical limit of the [Ordinary] rank Extraordinary Trait of [2].
[Extraordinary Trait: Silver Wolf Under the Moon activated (Full Moon). In this state, you gain a 4x efficiency boost.]
This was the first time Kaito Shirogane had seen a full moon since awakening this trait. It was also the first time he realized just how powerful [Silver Wolf Under the Moon] was.
His base Strength of 28, under this terrifying efficiency multiplier, was elevated to a completely unimaginable level.
Hoo~
Kaito Shirogane exhaled. The air squeezed out of his lungs almost created a gale.
Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru both showed expressions of horror. Although Mercenary Tao was strong, as the night deepened, he was becoming incomprehensible.
Kaito Shirogane bent down and grabbed a handful of sand. His overly powerful strength made his muscles lose their coordination.
But it didn't matter. He used [Perfect Organism] to fine-tune his bones and muscles.
Kaito Shirogane squeezed the sand in his right hand, applying more and more force.
Crack~
Crisp sounds rang out constantly. Under Orochimaru's uncomprehending gaze, Kaito Shirogane kept squeezing. The force was so great that with every crack, the tiny bit of air escaping from between his fingers turned into incandescent white cloud vapor.
"Hah~"
Kaito Shirogane revealed an expression of pleasure. He enjoyed this power.
He looked at the Royal Capital two kilometers away. The Land of Lightning's Royal Capital was built on a massive mountain. Houses were arranged according to the terrain, staggered in height.
But he spotted the most magnificent building in the center at a glance.
CRACK!
He applied more force. The muscles on his arm began to tear. Even with his Constitution of nearly 30 and a body impervious to blades under the efficiency boost, his own terrifying strength caused his body to break down.
But Kaito Shirogane continued to apply force as if he felt nothing.
Blood flowed, wounds healed, and then tore open again.
Pfft!
As Kaito Shirogane's right hand suddenly clenched tight, blood flowed from his fist. He opened his hand, revealing a pitch-black stone.
The stone emitted a strange luster. Its material form had clearly been changed.
Kaito Shirogane then took a step forward, holding the stone he had squeezed into existence in his right hand. His center of gravity shifted from his feet.
Vmm~
His muscles made a dull sound, like a great bow being drawn taut. Then, abruptly, they exploded with power. His right arm vanished instantly.
Vmm~ Bang bang bang bang...
A series of explosions rang out. Rings of incandescent white shockwaves expanded in the air.
Only then did the terrifying gale erupt from around Kaito Shirogane, blowing Orochimaru and Uchiha Itachi back two steps.
Orochimaru turned his head, his face pale as he looked toward the Land of Lightning's Royal Capital.
BOOM!
First, the Daimyo's palace twisted and shattered from within. Then came the terrifying sound of the impact. A massive cloud of dust began to spread from the capital.
This scene... seemed no different from the legendary Tailed Beast Ball bombarding the earth...
[You have killed the Daimyo of the Land of Lightning. Obtained 1400 Dimensional Points.]
[You have killed the Minister of the Land of Lightning...]
[You have killed...]
[You have unlocked the Milestone: King of Life-Killing Species (Unparalleled Rarity)]
