Chapter 153: Chapter 153
Facing Madara Uchiha, who had activated [Izanagi], Uchiha Shin went with the simplest strategy.
Pure numerical domination over all mechanisms!
So what if you can resurrect? I'll just kill you over and over again!
For two relentless minutes, Shin bombarded Madara with devastating attacks. The legendary Uchiha had no chance to counter. In the end, Shin drove his body deep into the ground with sheer force, then finished him off by engulfing him in Amaterasu's black flames, reducing him to nothing but ashes.
Wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead, Shin smirked. "Phew! Good thing I have my chakra reservoir. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lasted."
If it had been Hashirama Senju fighting, he would have died a hundred times over.
But now, there was one last thing left to do.
Shin turned his gaze toward the vast battlefield, now an apocalyptic wasteland.
"Time to clean up."
"Yin-Yang Release: Creation of Terra!"
"Wood Release: Flower and Tree World Bloom!"
The monstrous crater left behind was instantly filled with towering trees and vibrant plant life. The legendary Valley of the End was no more—now it was an endless forest, stretching beyond the horizon.
Shin chuckled to himself. "No scenic landmarks anymore, but hey, at least I did some greening. Besides, I just made it easier for the Land of Fire to invade the Land of Fields."
As if to distract himself from the fact that he nearly obliterated half the continent, he let out a casual sigh.
No more guilt. No more hesitation.
"Heavenly Hand Power!"
With a single thought, Shin teleported several kilometers away in an instant, swapping places with mere air particles.
After testing it, he had confirmed the range of his [Heavenly Hand Power].
"So, I can teleport freely within a 20-kilometer radius, as long as there's an object to swap with... even something as small as an air particle."
"I can also swap objects at will, and the chakra cost is almost nonexistent."
"Outside that range, it takes a little time to lock onto a location, but still... limitless teleportation within 20 kilometers? That's insane."
If he hadn't been busy finishing off Madara, he would've used this to torment him even further.
In just a few seconds, through a series of rapid teleportations, Shin crossed the Land of Fire and arrived in Konoha City.
During this journey, he fully mastered the [Anti-Gravity Realm].
With the Rinnegan's control over attractive and repulsive forces, he had already been capable of flight.
But now, by incorporating [Magnet Release], he had gone even further.
He no longer needed chakra to levitate—he could defy gravity passively.
With zero air resistance, Shin estimated that if given enough time, he could accelerate to the speed of light.
"If I go to space... I could probably travel between planets just by flying."
He grinned. This was beyond even the Otsutsuki's level.
The Six-Tomoe Rinnegan had also enhanced his control.
Although he had yet to reach atomic-level manipulation, he was making rapid progress.
Previously, he could only regenerate his own body, but now he could restructure others' bodies too.
With [Soul Binding], he could even create new bodies while preserving their original souls.
"If Tsunade or the others ever die, my Sage Seal can store their souls. Then, I can just mold them a new body."
He wasn't a god just yet.
But he was damn close.
With Yin-Yang Release, he could even generate souls.
"That means I can literally create life from scratch."
And as for [Reanimation], his upper limit had increased. He could now revive shinobi beyond what was previously thought possible.
The research possibilities were endless.
Chakra rewriting, DNA modifications... even reaching the realm of the Six Paths.
"If I just sit down and research, I can probably hit the Sage of Six Paths level in ten years."
But ten years was too long.
Now that he was back in Konoha, Shin sensed the dramatic shift in his own abilities.
He wasn't going to wait for power anymore—he was going to seize it faster than ever.
"Shin!" A familiar voice interrupted his thoughts.
Tsunade was already running toward him, her expression a mix of worry and frustration.
"What the hell did you do? I swear, for a moment, it felt like the entire sky was collapsing over there!"
She didn't even phrase it as a question. She knew it was him.
Ordinary people and even trained shinobi might not have noticed, but those with keen perception—Tsunade included—had felt the raw devastation.
The battle had been so intense that if she had been within ten kilometers of its epicenter, she probably would've been vaporized.
But something else caught her attention.
Tsunade's sharp eyes widened as she noticed Shin's fleeting Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
"Wait! Don't switch them back! What the hell were those purple, six-tomoe eyes just now?!"
Before Shin could react, she nearly tackled him, trying to pry his eyelids open with both hands.
As she struggled, her chest—more than enough to cause even a hardened warrior to falter—pressed against him repeatedly.
Shin twitched.
And then—
Smack!
Tsunade, in her enthusiasm, had absentmindedly slapped him across the chest.
Shin, not one to let things slide, immediately returned the favor.
Smack!
Tsunade staggered, her hands instinctively moving to cover herself.
"T-That's too much! I didn't even agree to any S&M play yet! That hurt!"
She pulled at her collar in frustration, turning her already revealing deep V-neck into an even more scandalous off-the-shoulder look.
Her smooth skin, delicate collarbones, and the bright red slap mark were all on full display.
Shin, unimpressed, shot her a look. "You're the one who slapped me first. Consider it payback. Here, let me fix it."
Without waiting for permission, he placed a hand over her exposed skin, using medical ninjutsu to soothe the irritation.
Tsunade, caught off guard, blinked in surprise.
Despite her earlier antics, she calmed down, watching Shin intently.
Finally, he revealed the Six-Tomoe Rinnegan once more, letting her examine them closely.
"These... these look like the Sage of Six Paths' eyes. How the hell did you get them?!"
Tsunade was stunned. The ancient texts had depicted the Rinnegan before, but these... these were different. More evolved.
Shin shrugged. There were too many details he couldn't explain.
So, he settled for a simpler version of the truth.
"Probably absorbed the last bit of Nagato's Rinnegan and upgraded it."
As for Nagato himself...
Well, he was long gone. Not even ashes remained.
Shin briefly explained the fight with Madara, making Tsunade—who was still enjoying her impromptu "massage"—fall into deep thought.
War was coming.
And the world was about to learn the name Uchiha Shin.
Whether they were ready or not.
