Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The Second Super Achievement Lottery!
"The... the second one..."
On Jiraiya's shoulders, the two Elder Toads, Fukasaku and Shima, momentarily paused when they heard Uchiha Madara's words. As they helped Jiraiya enter Sage Mode, their expressions turned grave.
Damn it... the second one?!
"You..."
"You..."
Tsunade stared at Uchiha Madara and Leo—the two identical figures standing before her. One stood arrogantly with folded arms, watching everything unfold like a spectator. The other, equally powerful, had just summoned a meteorite from the sky.
The Fifth Hokage was stunned. Her lips moved as if to say something, but no words came out.
To this—
"Hmph... Wanna see it?"
Madara smirked coldly, his tone laced with dark amusement as he looked at everyone's stunned faces. Without waiting for a response, he raised his hands once more, preparing to perform another summoning.
"That's enough!!"
Tsunade immediately shouted, stopping him with all the authority of a Hokage.
Then, suppressing the rage in her chest, she demanded, "Madara, what do you want?"
Her voice trembled—not with fear, but with restrained fury—as she looked at the two versions of the infamous Uchiha Madara.
Madara slowly lowered his hands, halting the summoning of the second meteorite.
Above them, the massive boulder that had been steadily descending finally ceased its fall. It now hovered menacingly, just 300 meters above Konoha.
Three hundred meters…
That was far too close.

"This..."
"Oh my God!"
"What on earth is happening?!"
All across the Hidden Leaf Village, people poured out of their homes, gazing up in horror at the meteorite that loomed above. Panic set in as citizens stared at the massive object, which appeared moments away from crashing down.
The fear was overwhelming.
If that rock fell… how many would survive?
Would anyone?
The distance was so short, and the meteorite so massive, that no one could think clearly. Even the village's most elite ninjas stood frozen.
They were too far to launch an effective counterattack. All they could do was look up in helpless fear.
In that moment, despair blanketed the Hidden Leaf Village like a funeral shroud.
---
On the rooftop of the Hokage building…
Jiraiya had arrived in full Sage Mode.
In his hand, a Massive Rasengan spun and glowed, radiating immense energy. He was ready to strike at any moment.
But seeing that the meteorite had stopped, he held back.
He didn't dare make a reckless move that might worsen the situation.
Meanwhile, the members of the Akatsuki organization, who had been standing tensely, finally let out the breaths they didn't realize they were holding.
Even Hidan, who normally wouldn't care about his own death, was relieved.
Sure, he was immortal—but being shattered into pieces wasn't exactly enjoyable. And if his body were too damaged to function, he could still die from starvation.
So when he saw the meteorite stop descending, even he couldn't help but sigh in relief.

At that moment, Uchiha Madara turned to Leo, his Rinnegan glowing ominously.
Leo responded to Tsunade's questioning glare with a faint, confident smile.
"All of Konoha's ninjas will join us in a few days... to conquer the other four nations."
"You… You really intend to unify the entire ninja world?" Tsunade asked, shocked by the audacity of the statement.
"Didn't we make ourselves clear enough already?" Madara said coldly, deactivating Susanoo.
"Tsunade, I can't agree to this—" Jiraiya started to protest.
But Tsunade cut him off sharply. "Jiraiya, do you have a way to stop the second meteorite?"
Jiraiya fell silent. He had nothing to say.
"In fact," Madara said casually, glancing up at the hovering meteorite, "we can summon a third. There are plenty more of these in the sky. The Rinnegan can call them down endlessly."
The crowd went still.
Tsunade clenched her fists, trembling with frustration and fury.
And then—she exhaled slowly, releasing her fists.
"I... agree."
Tsunade had no other choice. She compromised.
"Very good," Leo said with a smirk.
The two identical figures—Madara and Leo—glanced at each other and nodded.
This was step two in their plan.
The Akatsuki had been conquered.
Now—Konoha had fallen as well.
---
Next...
Only the four remaining great nations stood in their path.
They'd be coming for them soon enough.
And hopefully, those villages would be as wise as Tsunade had been today.
Otherwise...
Well, history has always been written by the victors—and the cost of victory is always high.

[System Notification]
Congratulations! You have conquered "Land of Fire · Hidden Leaf Village" and achieved a Super Achievement.
Reward: Super Achievement Lottery ×1
Current Lottery Inventory:
Primary Achievement Lottery: 3
Medium Achievement Lottery: 12
High Achievement Lottery: 2
Super Achievement Lottery: 1
At that moment, a system prompt appeared before Leo's eyes—visible only to him.
Apparently, as long as the village's leader submitted, the system counted the entire village as conquered.
Even though Madara had done all the intimidating, Leo's presence—his identical appearance and calm demeanor—had pushed Tsunade over the edge. She bowed to both of them. That meant Leo got the reward too.
And it was a super achievement.
Leo's lips curled into a pleased grin.
He hadn't expected this bonus—but he wasn't complaining.
Also...
He remembered that when Black Zetsu was imprisoned earlier, he had received a [High Achievement Lottery], but had completely forgotten to use it.
Checking now, Leo realized he actually had two high-level draws saved up.

Boom——
Suddenly, Madara's Rinnegan eyes flickered.
With a thought, the massive meteorite began to rise—quickly accelerating away from the village.
Finally, it launched itself back into space.
The threat was over.
---
When they saw the meteorite retreat into the sky, every ninja and civilian in Konoha gasped in collective relief. Some burst into tears. Others collapsed to the ground, unable to stay on their feet after the tension.
Kakashi, standing on the Hokage building, also sighed in relief.
Even Tsunade couldn't help but smile softly, though her expression was still tight with emotion.
But the moment of peace didn't last.
---
"Even though you're a descendant of Hashirama," Madara said, his voice suddenly cold and merciless, "you're still just a woman."
"As agreed, from now on, there will be no Land of Fire, no Konoha, and certainly no Hokage."
"From this day forward, the world will be ruled by the two of us—Uchiha Madara!!"
His Rinnegan blazed with pride and certainty.
"You..." Tsunade clenched her fists again, this time trembling with helpless rage.
Something about the two Uchiha Madaras—Leo and the real one—felt slightly different to her.
But she couldn't place what it was.
