From Pirates to the Strongest Death God in Soul Society

Chapter 384: Uchiha Madara in the Pure Land: What's going on? Has the God of Death been replaced?
Nearly half a month had passed, and information in the ninja world had gradually spread.

It was impossible to conceal the fact that the Hidden Rain Village disappeared inexplicably, and almost every ninja village knew about it.

Some rumors also began to spread, saying that the Hidden Rain Village had provoked Konoha, and was then directly destroyed by Jiraiya, one of the legendary three ninjas, using a forbidden technique that had never been heard of before.

After hearing these rumors, many ninja villages went to Konoha to inquire about the situation.

However, Konoha neither denied nor admitted this matter.

After all, from a certain perspective, wasn't this what Jiraiya did? It's just that it wasn't a forbidden technique, but a summoning technique.

What responsibility does Ling Zun have? Ling Zun is just a spiritual beast, how can he take the blame?

One footsteps, the Sand Village was defeated and became its younger brother, and the next footsteps, the Rain Village was destroyed. All of a sudden, the Konoha Village, which had always seemed a little weak since the end of the Third Ninja World War, became suddenly fierce, making the other major ninja villages very uneasy.

Gradually, some real news began to spread in the ninja world as Konoha intentionally relaxed.

The legend of Ryuchidong Reizoun, one of the three holy places, has gradually become well-known among the high-ranking officials in the ninja world.

After absorbing several meteors, the Chibaku Tensei in the sky finally became the same size as the moon. Under this circumstance, the ninja world inexplicably had two moons.

At night, two moons appear in the sky, which is a truly astronomical wonder.

However, many astronomers and scholars in the ninja world soon discovered that since the inexplicable planet became the same size as the moon, it no longer continued to expand. At the same time, various situations such as tidal changes that should have occurred in theory did not occur miraculously.

At least for now, apart from shining brightly at night and competing with the bright moon, it has no extra impact on the ninja world.

Under such circumstances, Konoha released news again, saying that the asteroid was the secret magic of the spiritual master, and told everyone not to worry about anything.

At this point, Ling Zun's reputation truly resounded throughout the entire ninja world. At the same time, the asteroid in the sky was tacitly called "Xu Yue" by everyone.

Located in a valley in the Land of Rain, this was the original base of the Akatsuki organization when Hanzo of the Salamander ruled the Hidden Rain Village.

In the years since Akatsuki took over the Hidden Rain Village, it has gradually become deserted. But now that the Hidden Rain Village is gone, the remaining Akatsuki members have once again used this deserted base.

In a cave in the valley, Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame, Uchiha Obito, Black and White Zetsu, the remaining members of the Akatsuki organization, were gathered here to discuss the future path.

Uchiha Itachi sat silently on the stone, listening to his friends' clueless discussions, feeling a little bored for a moment.

The reason why he went undercover in the Akatsuki organization was because he judged that this organization was very threatening and was likely plotting something to subvert the ninja world, so he was lurking here to obtain intelligence.

What a result, now he has become like this, so that Uchiha Itachi is very confused. Now that it has become like this, is there any need for him to remain in hiding?

Judging from the situation, if he quits now, the Akatsuki organization might disintegrate on its own in a couple of days.

"Spiritual Master." Uchiha Itachi felt a little complicated. According to Black Zetsu, the Spiritual Master had said in person that his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke was currently training in the Ryuchi Cave and was considered the Spiritual Master's registered disciple.

This news made Uchiha Itachi feel very complicated. On the one hand, he was glad that Sasuke had a powerful master and backer. On the other hand, he felt that things were out of control. He didn't know how the situation would turn out in the end, which made him a little annoyed.

Because he had something on his mind, Uchiha Itachi really couldn't stand the noise anymore. He stood up and walked out of the cave with an expressionless face.

"Mr. Itachi!?" Seeing this, Hoshigaki Kisame glanced at Black Zetsu and then followed him.

After the two of them left, Black Zetsu and Uchiha Obito looked at each other in silence.

After a long while, Uchiha Obito said: "Obviously, the Moon Eye Project is in trouble now. With our current capabilities, we can't solve this dilemma at all, so..."

At this point, his tone darkened and he said, "We must invite that person out to take charge of the situation."

The 'that person' he was talking about was undoubtedly Uchiha Madara.

According to the plan set by Uchiha Madara at the beginning, after all the tailed beasts were collected and everything was ready, Nagato would perform the Rinnegan Technique to revive him completely and officially launch the Moon Eye Project.

But now, both Nagato and the Rinnegan were sealed in the so-called virtual moon, hanging in the sky, enjoying the same treatment as Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the goddess of the Rabbit.

If Black Zetsu had the ability to free Nagato and retrieve the Samsara Eye from the virtual moon, why would he bother with this plan? Wouldn't he just go and save his mother?
It is obvious that Uchiha Obito does not have the ability to break the impasse. Although it is also uncertain whether Uchiha Madara has this ability, what can we say? Let's try our best.

Things have come to this, they have no other choice, right?

After a moment of silence, Black Zetsu could only nod helplessly and said, "Based on the current situation, this is indeed the only choice."

Uchiha Madara is on a completely different level from the other ninjas. Maybe he can really break the situation?

"Now that the Rinnegan is lost, how are you going to summon that person out?" Uchiha Obito asked in a deep voice.

"Immortal Reincarnation Technique." Black Zetsu sighed and said, "My master, Uchiha Madara-sama also knows this forbidden technique. As a backup, if something unexpected happens to the Samsara Eye plan, this technique can be used to revive him."

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Uchiha Madara used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to break free from the control of Kabuto Yakushi. Even when the rest of the people had returned to the Pure Land, he was still able to wander around outside, and he truly mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Uchiha Madara has always believed that Black Zetsu was his creation and the key to implementing subsequent plans. With his heroic character, how could he not make multiple preparations?
If something unexpected happened to the Samsara Eye, Impure World Reincarnation would be his other option. "That's good, let's prepare to execute this plan and revive that person." Uchiha Obito nodded as if he was slightly relieved.

Obviously, from the destruction of the Hidden Rain Village to the present, Black Zetsu has been constantly trying to find a solution, but he has no idea. So he has already made up his mind that if it doesn't work, he will resurrect Uchiha Madara to see if the problem can be solved. Therefore, he has prepared the medium needed for the Impure World Reincarnation.

For example, Uchiha Madara’s body tissue and White Zetsu’s container.

Just do it. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in delaying.

Soon, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu began to arrange the ritual of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, preparing to revive Uchiha Madara in the Pure Land.

At the same time, in Longdi Cave, Bane has withdrawn his interest in the virtual moon in the sky. Now he just lets it hang in the sky, which is also very beautiful.

On the couch, Bane had transformed into a spirit again, and soul power was constantly emanating from his body, as if he was communicating something.

At the same time, he was holding the finger of death in his hand as a medium for guidance.

As the terrifying soul energy continued to overflow from his body, the space inside the Longdi Cave gradually became less stable.

Orochimaru held a notebook in his hand, carefully observing the situation at the moment, and recorded the situation in detail in the notebook for future use.

A few days ago, with the help of Bane, he successfully replaced his container and returned to his original cloned body. He had to say that he felt very comfortable.

There are no side effects of reincarnation, and Ling Zun's action is simply perfect in this matter.

At the same time, after returning to his own body, Orochimaru began to practice the secret art of spiritualization, also wanting to achieve the state of integration of soul and body.

It's just a pity that the soul in his hands is not his own after all, so it is very difficult to progress in the spiritualization secret art. I have fully understood the principle, but I just can't do it well.

Therefore, Orochimaru is now very much looking forward to the Spirit Master being able to find the God of Death and kill him, or whatever. At least by then his hands will be back.

Once his hands are back and his soul is complete, Orochimaru feels that he can follow in the footsteps of the Spirit Master and move towards the integration of soul and flesh!
Just as Orochimaru was carefully observing the changes in the situation here and recording relevant information, it seemed that the soul energy released by Bane had finally reached a standard, and a dark space crack appeared from the cave.

"Pure Land!" Orochimaru said with excitement in his eyes.

As soon as the crack appeared, Bane opened his eyes quickly, and then he grabbed the two sides of the crack with his hands, one on the left and one on the right. He exerted force in his hands, shook his soul, and forcibly tore apart the realm of pure land and the real world, life and death!
"Hah!!!" Bane roared, and the power of his soul surged up, suddenly tearing the crack in the Pure Land open a gap large enough for him to enter.

"Hahaha, Death, here I come again!!!" Bane grabbed the finger and shouted excitedly, then without any hesitation, he jumped out of it.

Orochimaru was also somewhat tempted when he saw this scene, and even couldn't help wanting to chase in, but in the end, he still restrained this thought and watched the Reizond enter the Pure Land. Then the crack quickly healed and dissipated, and the Ryuchi Cave returned to its original state.

At the same time, Bane has entered the Pure Land completely. This is the first time he has entered in this form of integrated soul and body. Unlike before, he always had to leave his physical body outside.

Perhaps it was precisely because he was completely in a spiritual state that this time, he did not feel the same sense of rejection in the Pure Land as before.

It's like a fish entering the water, feeling extremely comfortable. I even feel that this place is more comfortable than the outside world. It's that kind of comfort in the environment.

"It's still as desolate as before," Bane said softly, looking at the seemingly endless desert.

Then he discovered that, as a spirit, he actually no longer needed to breathe. But how should he put it? He was not really dead after all, and his body's instincts were still there.

Even though it was useless, he still maintained the breathing-related movements, lung exercises and the like as usual.

Because of this, with every breath he took, the pure soul power in the Pure Land was absorbed into his body, as if his soul was becoming stronger every moment!
"So, I don't need to eat dirt anymore?" Bane felt the situation, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself.

Then, he began to try to absorb the pure soul power of the Pure Land by absorbing natural energy.

As soon as this thought arose, the soul power in the body responded quickly. Then, huge soul power began to surge towards Bane's location from all directions of the Pure Land, turning into a rich and pure soul vortex, rushing into Bane's soul body.

It was almost visible to the naked eye that Bane's spirit became purer and more powerful, and was even beginning to move towards materialization.

The original sense of transparency of the soul in the body was constantly being filled, but perhaps his container was too large. Even though the soul power was condensed and gathered into a vortex, continuously pouring into his body, the filling speed of this soul entity was still very slow, and it couldn't even fill the gap between his fingernails.

It was at this moment that Bane suddenly discovered a streak of light, quickly passing through the wasteland in the distance, and then, not too far away from him, a crack appeared in the Pure Land.

"Has anyone in this world used magic related to the soul?" Bane looked over there with some curiosity in his eyes.

Then he was stunned for a moment, because he watched Uchiha Madara's soul pass through his sight in the form of flowing light, pierce the gap in the Pure Land, and go to the present world.

On the other side, Uchiha Madara, who was finally awakened, was also very confused on his way out of the Pure Land. He looked at Bane brutally absorbing the soul power of the Pure Land with a very surprised look. His eyes were full of confusion and doubt, and then he disappeared in the Pure Land.

"What's going on? The Grim Reaper has changed? He didn't look like this before!?"

This was Uchiha Madara's last thought before he left the Pure Land.
