Naruto The Thunder Calamity

Otsutsuki Isshiki admitted that Tsunade was very strong. 

Even just throwing a Kunai was something that ordinary ninjas couldn't handle. 

Unfortunately, Otsutsuki Isshiki was no ordinary ninja. 

In fact, Otsutsuki Isshiki wasn't even a ninja at all. 

He casually swung the black staff in his hand and struck the Kunai that was coming toward him. 

And it was at that moment that a blinding golden light filled Otsutsuki Isshiki's entire world! 

... 

After easily knocking away the attack from White Fang, Uchiha Madara furrowed his brows tightly. 

At some point, Uchiha Suisei had disappeared from the scene. 

The person who had supposedly been holding off the Konohagakure ninjas was now nowhere to be seen. 

A strange feeling appeared in Uchiha Madara's heart. 

It felt like... 

He had become the one stalling the Konohagakure ninjas for that guy? 

This realization made Uchiha Madara quite displeased, and he glanced around at the surrounding Konohagakure ninjas. 

Madara slowly exhaled a breath of frustration. 

So... a liar who doesn't keep their promises... is truly disgusting! 

His purple Rinnegan spun slightly, and a massive shadow immediately covered the entire Konohagakure village. 

Senju Tobirama looked up, shocked, as he saw the enormous meteors falling from the sky. His face instantly turned pale. 

If it were just one, Senju Tobirama might have been able to handle it, but now... nine meteors were falling from the sky. 

Goodbye! 

Glancing at Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara's figure instantly vanished from the spot. 

If you try to use me, you'll pay the price. 

Madara's attacks were aimed at specific people. 

But the meteors didn't care. 

Whether it was the mysterious ninja or the village of Konohagakure, at this moment, they were all within the range of Madara's attack. 

Madara didn't want to waste any more time here. 

It was pointless. Collaborating with a stranger was, as expected, a troublesome thing. 

So, Uchiha Madara chose: if you dare use me, I'll dare betray you. 

Before betraying you, I'll make sure to put some pressure on you first. 

... 

"Ding!" 

Otsutsuki Isshiki quickly retreated, stabbing his black staff into the ground, leaving a mark on the surface. 

Half-kneeling, Otsutsuki Isshiki looked up at Uchiha Raijin, who was now completely surrounded by a golden-purple flame. 

Golden Mangekyo Sharingan?! 

What kind of hellish mutation is this?! 

Otsutsuki Kaguya! You really deserve to die! 

Are you scared? 

Not at all. If I can unleash my peak strength, I still have a good chance of winning. 

But... 

The problem is, I can't unleash it!!! 

In fact, if I keep fighting against Uchiha Raijin in this state, 

This body will shatter. 

Retreat! 

A thought of retreat flashed in Otsutsuki Isshiki's mind. 

"You really know how to pick your timing." 

Raijin slowly extended his right hand, and Uchiha Suisei's body immediately separated from the black staff. 

"Hiss~" 

Suisei couldn't help but cry out in pain as Raijin sent her to Tsunade. 

Tsunade didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately began treating Suisei.

It seems that... Raijin's brief departure from the village went surprisingly smoothly!

At this moment, Raijin slightly furrowed his brows. Seizing the opportunity, Otsutsuki Isshiki immediately activated Sukunahikona, and his figure quickly vanished.

A barely noticeable space-time door appeared, and Otsutsuki Isshiki's figure disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, Raijin had already vanished.

Above Konohagakure, Raijin quickly glanced at what was now almost a flat wasteland where Konohagakure once stood.

Well, the disaster that once befell Kirigakure had now come to Konohagakure.

Raijin raised his head and looked at the nine giant meteors hanging vertically in a line. He stretched out his hand.

The Kusanagi Sword instantly appeared in his hand.

The Hokage Guard and Senju Tobirama, in theory, could each deal with one meteor.

As for the remaining three, Suisei could handle one, and Tsunade could take care of the other two without any problem.

But that's just in theory.

The nine meteors aligned vertically, meaning anyone trying to stop them would have to face the pressure of all nine meteors at once.

At this point, only Raijin could step up to handle the situation.

By combining electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic force was applied to the Kusanagi Sword.

The rapidly spinning Kusanagi Sword, once reaching its peak speed, suddenly shot toward the nine meteors.

"Whoosh!"

The sound of air being pierced rang out. In an instant, the Kusanagi Sword pierced through all nine meteors.

The nine meteors shattered into countless smaller rocks, continuing to fall toward Konohagakure.

Since the Kusanagi Sword's attack range was relatively small, many large chunks of rock continued to fall.

"Screech!"

The sound of thunder cutting through the air echoed, and purple-golden lightning surrounded all the falling rocks.

The larger stone chunks shattered.

In the end, under Raijin's control, countless metals formed an iron wall large enough to cover the entire Konohagakure.

This wall blocked all the rocks from falling into Konohagakure.

After finishing this, Raijin slowly descended to the ground, and the purple-golden light surrounding his body completely faded.

Only his eyes, glowing faintly with golden light, remained.

It's embarrassing to admit, but Raijin couldn't close his eyes right now.

In fact, after briefly using the power of these eyes, Raijin could only feel... pain in his eyes...

Not the eyeballs, but the nerves around his eyes, the eye sockets, and even his head throbbed in pain.

This means that... Raijin's physical condition hasn't reached a level where it can perfectly match these eyes.

Or, this body is only just barely able to handle these eyes.

If we had to make an analogy, it would be like Kakashi, who received Obito's Sharingan.

After all, Raijin's recent actions involved directly ignoring all the bloodline issues, and using the Demonic Seed technique to forcefully "consume" these eyes.

Perhaps there would be no issue under normal conditions.

But once these eyes were used in combat, they would put a strain on the body.

And the first to feel the pressure would be the areas closest to the eyes.

The giant Tenseigan on the moon... that was made from countless fused Byakugan, powerful enough to control the moon itself.

These eyes have long since lost their connection to any bloodline.

Even with the purest Otsutsuki bloodline, Raijin's power can only slightly ease the current pressure.

The only way Raijin could fully master these eyes would be through the use of Senjutsu to enhance his physical abilities.

Good, life is starting to feel full of possibilities again...

Raijin couldn't help but show a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Is this why you left Konohagakure?" 

Senju Tobirama appeared in front of Raijin, eyeing Raijin's golden-glowing eyes.

"Yeah, there's a huge eye on the moon. I swallowed it, and that's how I ended up like this," 

Raijin said, nodding and pointing at his eyes as he spoke to Senju Tobirama.

"Can you turn them off?"

Senju Tobirama nodded and asked Raijin.

"Not really."

Raijin shook his head in slight frustration.

"That means those eyes are really strong..." 

Orochimaru also appeared in front of Raijin, staring at his eyes with envy.

Orochimaru had mastered the Ghost Bud technique as well.

Originally, he had been planning to find a chance to devour a few ninjas with Kekkei Genkai to make up for his own natural shortcomings.

Orochimaru had chosen Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, Kaguya, and Uzumaki.

In his eyes, these five clans had the highest potential Kekkei Genkai.

Especially Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, and Uzumaki.

Unfortunately, these four clans either belonged to Konohagakure or were allies of the village. 

Over the years, not a single one had defected.

Orochimaru was very disappointed.

In fact, now Raijin had already caused his eyes to change to this extent.

Speaking of which... that mysterious ninja or Uchiha Madara would also be a good target for devouring.

Orochimaru thought carefully but eventually decided to give up.

First, he wasn't their match.

Second, while Orochimaru didn't think Konohagakure would have trouble defeating them, if Konohagakure did defeat them, he probably wouldn't have the chance to devour them.

It was annoying...

So, is there a technique that could turn Uchiha Madara into many Uchiha Madaras...

Orochimaru pondered deeply, lips pressed together.

"Very strong, much stronger than I expected."

Raijin chuckled lightly and shook his head in response. "I knew you'd be fine!"

Just then, Tsunade appeared in front of Raijin.

With a light laugh, she punched him on the shoulder.

"Of course, it'll work!"

Raijin smiled back and grabbed Tsunade's fist.

"Alright, now let's get Konohagakure back to its original state."

Senju Tobirama glanced at Raijin and Tsunade before disappearing from the spot.

In a temporary underground base, Otsutsuki Isshiki appeared from the space-time vortex.

In an instant, he returned to his original size.

"Ha~"

He exhaled a deep breath and casually found a place to sit down.

It was a failure...

He didn't lose because he and Madara weren't strong enough together.

He lost because no one had gone all out.

If he had given his all, taking down Uchiha Suisei or Tsunade would have been no challenge.

And if Madara had really gotten serious, killing Senju Tobirama and that so-called Hokage bodyguard team would have been no problem.

But he wanted to find the right tool.

Madara had seen through his intentions and eventually chose to help Konohagakure, staying in the village as much as possible.

After a quick review, Otsutsuki Isshiki stopped dwelling on the failure of this mission.

It no longer held any meaning for him. 

If he were to go back to Madara now, the first thing he would face would probably be Madara's Rinne Rebirth – Boundary Hell.

He had originally thought he could capture that kid...

But he hadn't expected...

So, he still needed to look for other sources of power.

That's when Otsutsuki Isshiki turned his attention to Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

Of course, Otsutsuki Isshiki admitted that compared to Konohagakure, Sunagakure and Iwagakure were nothing.

In this game, the power of Sunagakure and Iwagakure wasn't even enough to qualify as pawns.

But that was fine. They didn't have power, so Otsutsuki Isshiki could grant them power.

The use of "contracts" wasn't just to help the Otsutsuki clan with their reincarnation.

...

Sitting in his chair, Uchiha Madara sighed helplessly.

He had gone but gained nothing.

Really...

"Have the Three-Tails and Six-Tails been revived?"

Madara asked Zetsu, who was in front of him.

"No."

Zetsu shook his head. A large number of White Zetsu were spread out. As soon as the Three-Tails and Six-Tails revived, Black Zetsu would know right away.

With an unexpected person showing up, Zetsu was now working very seriously.

"Stay alert. Next, I want to study this Senjutsu," Madara told Zetsu.

"Yes. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Black Zetsu nodded in response and then asked Madara.

"Help me with what?"

Madara lightly chuckled and retorted to Black Zetsu.

He said he wanted to study Senjutsu, but in reality, Madara didn't even have a clear direction yet.

But Madara believed that if Hashirama could do it, so could he.

"I..." 

Black Zetsu thought for a moment. He genuinely wanted to help Madara increase his strength as much as possible.

Originally, Black Zetsu had absolute confidence in Madara.

But after seeing Madara's battle with Uchiha Raijin and the sudden appearance of that mysterious ninja...

Although Black Zetsu knew that Madara still had absolute competitiveness, 

It no longer felt like Madara had that overwhelming, decisive strength.

Although Zetsu had no idea why the ninja world had ended up this way.

Clearly, the strength Madara had now, though still short of Rikudou Sennin, was beyond anyone in this ninja world.

"I can help you locate the Konohagakure ninjas who have learned Senjutsu," Black Zetsu said to Madara.

"Then thank you for your trouble."

Madara's gaze softened slightly as he looked at Black Zetsu, who was half-kneeling in front of him, his words and actions clearly aimed at helping Madara.

Indeed, in this world, only the life you create would truly care for you.

"It's my greatest honor to do anything within my power for you," Black Zetsu said, his face lighting up with an appropriately excited expression.

It was as if he never expected to hear Madara say something like this to him.

Excited?

Totally stunned.

A veteran who's lived for over a thousand years.

Then, Black Zetsu didn't even say goodbye and just disappeared right in front of Madara.

It was as if he lost control due to being too excited.

The truth stood out.
