In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group

After finishing his classes at the ninja school, Makoto Ito returned home, and the battle between Madara and Hashirama finally came to an end.

The outcome was not surprising. Madara had never managed to defeat Hashirama before. The history repeated itself, and Madara was once again defeated

Most of the spectators accepted this result without question. However, Minato noticed something crucial. Madara had not used any space-time ninjutsu during the battle.

This led him to a shocking conclusion.

If Uchiha Madara had never wielded such a technique, then the masked man who attacked him and Kushina years ago could not have been the real Madara. This meant Madara had been telling the truth all along.

But if that was the case, who had orchestrated the attack?

One thing was certain. The perpetrator was a member of the Uchiha clan. But who among them had the ability and motive to do such a thing?

Minato pondered the question for a long time but found no answers. In the end, he dismissed the thought with a bitter smile.

He was dead, after all. Even if he uncovered the truth, what could he do about it?

Makoto also noticed something very interesting.

Madara had refrained from using the Rinnegan. Did this mean he could no longer access its power because he had already given it away?

Or had he deliberately held back, choosing to conceal his full strength for his resurrection plans?

Although he had lost the battle, Madara wasn't really disappointed.

The fight had rekindled a passion he had not experienced in ages. There was no one else in the ninja world who could make him excited in a battle other than Hashirama. Only when he clashed with Hashirama could he feel truly alive.

Hashirama was having the same thought. It had been so long since he had experienced such a satisfying battle with his best friend.

Just as they were relishing the moment, an unexpected notification from the chat group left him stunned.

[Result: Uchiha Madara was defeated

[Dropped item: Sharingan]

[Senju Hashirama: Damn! Is this the punishment for losing?]

[Senju Tobirama: Holy shit!]

[Uchiha Madara: What the hell!? What just happened!? Why did my Sharingan get taken away!?]

[Uchiha Izuna: Isn't the punishment a little too harsh for a duel?]

[Makoto Ito: Didn't you all read the system notifications? Losing comes with penalties.]

[Uchiha Madara: Damn it! I wasn't even thinking about that at the time. How was I supposed to know my Sharingan would be taken away!? This is completely unfair! ]

At this moment, Madara finally realized he had fallen into a trap.

First, Makoto gave Hashirama the Moderator role. Hashirama then taunted and provoked him, causing him to initiate a duel.

To top it off, before the fight even began, Makoto had conveniently received two powerful ninjutsu techniques. Now, after defeat, Madara had even lost his precious Sharingan.

[Senju Hashirama: Makoto, did you really just take Madara's Sharingan?]

[Senju Tobirama: This is hilarious! Madara, didn't you say you wouldn't let Makoto take advantage of you? What happened now? First, you gave away two ninjutsu, and now you've even handed over your Sharingan!

Hahaha! At least when we gave something to Makoto voluntarily, we gained some favor in return. But you lost your Sharingan for nothing. You didn't even get anything out of it! HAHA!!]

Madara was left speechless by Tobirama's words.

He was right.

If he had known things would turn out this way, he would have just handed his Sharingan to Makoto willingly. That way, he could have at least earned some goodwill—or even been rewarded with the moderator role.

Now, not only had he lost his Sharingan, but he had gained absolutely nothing in return.

After returning home, Makoto had no time to pay attention to the lively chat group. His focus was solely on the small mirror in his hand, in which he was checking his new Sharingan. Even though it was currently a single tomoe Sharingan, he didn't mind at all.

After all, what truly mattered wasn't the number of tomoe, it was the bloodline itself.

Unlike Kakashi, who had only transplanted a Sharingan and suffered severe chakra drain, Makoto had fully inherited the bloodline. His Sharingan functioned as naturally as if he had been born with it, with no negative side effects.

Moreover, if he already had a single tomoe, then wasn't double tomoe, triple tomoe, Mangekyō, and even Eternal Mangekyō just a matter of time?

And now that he possessed Senju Hashirama's Sage Body, Wood Style, and Senju bloodline, he also had the potential to awaken the Rinnegan.

He successfully obtained the two most powerful Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world. If he merged them completely, he could obtain the ultimate dojutsu, Rinnegan.

This was a massive win!

Unlike many Uchiha clan members, Makoto had full control over his Sharingan's activation. He could turn it on and off at will, and the chakra consumption was entirely manageable.

Staring at his reflection in the mirror, where his single tomoe Sharingan shined brightly, Makoto couldn't help but grin.

[Senju Tobirama: Look at this kid! he's grinning so hard, his face might split in half!]

[Namikaze Minato: It's understandable. Anyone would be excited after acquiring both Wood Style and Sharingan.]

[Senju Hashirama: Hahahaha! That's right!]

[Hyuga Hizashi: This is incredible. With Konoha's two most powerful bloodlines, Makoto's future is bound to be extraordinary!]

Throughout the night, the chat group continued to buzz with discussions, but Makoto didn't talk much. He had more important things to do.

For example, getting a good night's sleep.

_______

The next morning, he woke up and got ready for school. To be honest, he didn't even feel the need to attend school anymore. Studying seemed like a massive waste of time for him.

But then he recalled the faces of the two adorable girls who would be eagerly waiting for him at school.

Hinata and Ino.

Perhaps, school wasn't such a bad place.

Moreover, before classes ended yesterday, Iruka had announced that there would be a practical test today. Since Makoto had already gained so many powerful abilities, it was time to shed the label of dead last.

From now on, Naruto could keep that title all to himself.
