How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

"So... flashy!"

Miss Fox's eyes lit up. The kunai flying everywhere transformed into dazzling skills in her eyes. They clashed and changed direction constantly, a dazzling and wonderful spectacle. Her bright eyes already revealed her envy and desire to learn!

Madara Uchiha pulled up a thin line, which, like the traps in 8-year-old Kevin's playground, twisted and turned, causing a bunch of steel wires that had been placed there at some unknown time to tie up Miss Fox in the field tightly!

The steel wire tightened around Miss Fox's body, making her already visually striking features even more prominent.

At the same time, the kunai that were flying and colliding everywhere stopped colliding and, from different angles and directions, simultaneously shot towards the locked-up Miss Fox. The chilling light seemed to have already pierced through her skin, and the scene of her being disemboweled appeared before her eyes.

Yes, the description is very good, but it's still a tiny bit away from actually happening.

As the kunai approached the fox-like creature near the body of the little sister, a strange, emerald-green, semi-transparent shadow suddenly appeared, flickered, and then struck the phantom of a giant sword, knocking all the kunai down and shattering them on the ground.

"..." Miss Fox felt the steel wire wrapped around her tighten a little, making her even itchier, and she was about to burst out laughing.

"Pfft, actually, I've received professional training, I can't laugh, I really can't laugh."

Unless you can't help it.

She threw out a whole bunch of (hidden weapons) acrobatic skills that were even more spectacular than the acrobatic skills of the show, but the result was that the automatic defense triggered by the scattered weapons couldn't even withstand the scratching damage from the steel wire. Thinking of how swollen Master Ban's face was just now, Miss Fox was not laughing at all!

But Madara Uchiha didn't want to talk and used several fire-style techniques to make the fox spirit realize it was hot.

However, it wasn't actually that hot. It was just that when faced with the fireballs spewed by Ban, Miss Fox subconsciously thought it would be very hot. But after raising her shield to block it, she found that it was actually not too bad and was within her acceptable range.

Furthermore, the defensive stance negated the damage, so the only pain I felt was from being whipped a few times when I broke the steel wire.

"I think I'm pretty good?" However, compared to when he fought Hashirama Senju not long ago, his output has obviously dropped by a lot.

Commonly known as the "mana shortage" state.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

Sure enough, after only a few ninjutsu techniques, Ban-ye chose to engage in close combat again. With kunai fists and shields, the dazzling attacks and defenses, a series of explosions in the air, and the continuous attacks and parries, Ban-ye and Miss Fox were fighting so fast that ordinary people could not even see them!

The most fundamental skill the Earth Goddess bestows upon Miss Fox is mastery of the shield. Most of her normal attacks rely on the shield, making the greatsword in her other hand seem almost superfluous. Therefore, even without entering a sword-and-shield assault stance, Miss Fox can easily parry using only her shield.

"Master Ban, it seems like your strength has weakened." He even had the mind to make a sarcastic remark.

However, this was not an illusion; it was a fact that the force of the physical collision between Madara Uchiha and Miss Fox had weakened, and Madara Uchiha, realizing this, quickly distanced himself again.

Only then did Miss Fox realize that Madara Uchiha was not in good condition.

On the surface, the dust and scrapes she picked up while running away were negligible. The main issue was that Madara Uchiha's internal condition wasn't good. Several areas where he frequently grappled during his close combat with the fox spirit showed abnormal bends, dents, or protrusions, suggesting bone injuries. "He has absolutely no chakra in his body, but seems to be using a power very similar to Hashirama Senju's Sage Mode chakra..."

After a real fight, Madara Uchiha understood why the Sharingan's genjutsu was ineffective against the woman before him.

In this world, whether they are ninjas or ordinary people, everyone is born with chakra, the only difference being the amount and whether they can become ninjas.

The essence of illusion is to utilize this principle. By analyzing the structure of the human brain, one can use their own chakra to influence the chakra within the other person's body, thereby imprisoning them in a fabricated illusion. The ability of an illusion to be maintained depends not only on the user's ability but also on the chakra within the caster.

Since the opponent has no chakra, the genjutsu naturally falls apart.

"Chakra, I'm actually quite curious about this kind of energy. It's supposed to be derived from the life force of a planet, but it doesn't seem to be much better than natural energy. However, it is more functional than natural energy."

This woman's statement was again filled with a lot of information, yet it was difficult to understand and discern the truth from falsehood. Madara Uchiha had no way of knowing whether she was telling the truth or not.

Moreover, this pointed-eared woman was strange. She didn't use that peculiar power; her physical body itself possessed immense strength. In the brief struggle, the enormous reaction force caused varying degrees of fractures in his arms, but she remained completely unaffected, as if nothing had happened.

This is something even Hashirama Senju couldn't do, and the non-contact, non-visual characteristic is simply not human!

"What kind of creature are you?!"

"Hey, that's very rude of you to talk to others like that!" Miss Fox protested!

However, Madara Uchiha retorted with a cold gaze. Well, spirits are indeed a little strange to people in the Naruto world, just a little bit.

"Oh! I know! I remember now! Chakra doesn't strengthen the physical body. Even if it can destroy a city and a country, it can't withstand kunai and shuriken. Otherwise, Neji's fate will be your fate!"

Miss Fox remembers!

It's a tradition in island nations, just like the world of monsters and gods. No matter how powerful the protagonist is, there are always some things that shouldn't be there that make them fall short!

Just like in the later stages of Naruto, as long as it's not a state like Hidan's Jashin modification or the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, which are not human, even if the fighting power is inflated to the point of destroying cities and countries, without using chakra, a small kunai can still cause damage to ordinary people!

The reason behind this is just as strange as in Dragon Ball where you can punch a neutron star to destroy it, but if you get close to a neutron star, you will be crushed to death by gravity!

I always felt that in island nations, attack and defense attributes are calculated independently.

Therefore, the reason why she gained an advantage in close combat with Madara Uchiha was not because Madara was weak or because Ms. Fox was particularly powerful; it was simply because Madara had no defensive capabilities without activating Susanoo. At least for someone like Ms. Fox, whose strength increases not only in terms of raw power but also in physical resilience.

"Hmmmm, thinking about it that way, chakra's performance is even worse than natural energy..."

However, the Chakra Multi-Use feature truly is multi-purpose!

Chapter 228 It all started with the birth of the universe

In the deserted wilderness of the Land of Fire, a man and a woman, each with a shameful elf that could only be passed down as a family heirloom, were locked in a standoff. The golden-haired elf was also bound with some steel wire for binding.

This is the scene where human traffickers attempted to seize valuable goods but were met with resistance! (Confirmed)

"..."

Miss Fox bent down to try and untie the steel wire wrapped around her feet. At that moment, Madara Uchiha formed a ninjutsu hand seal. Miss Fox stopped, and Madara Uchiha also held back his ninjutsu. When he stood up straight again, Madara Uchiha also relaxed his hand movements.

Suddenly bending down to launch a surprise attack, Madara Uchiha quickly formed hand seals again, his bulging cheeks filled with chakra.

Ban abandoned the action and dispersed his chakra.

"Emmmm..." the fox sighed, life was tough.

This guy's actually playing games with her?!

"...I'm saying, this can't go on forever. Why don't we sit down and talk?"

By releasing the concealment that allowed her to stand on the ground and actively reveal herself, if this continues, even Ban-ye will probably have to activate Susanoo soon. Therefore, Miss Fox would like to sit down and have a talk.

Miss Fox took out her long-forgotten camping gear to use as a mat and patted the spot opposite her.

"Come here, let's have a proper talk, shall we?"

Madara Uchiha was also surprised to see the fox lady's true form.

Her personality means she doesn't have many thoughts; she'll stick to her usual mindset. But she's undeniably beautiful, which is quite surprising.

Since Miss Fox wants to talk, Madara Uchiha, who is already short of chakra, has no reason to refuse. No matter the outcome, he won't lose out by sitting down and talking now.

"Who are you?" As soon as he sat down, Madara Uchiha went straight to the point, his gaze landing on the fox lady's unusually pointed ears.

"A family heirloom is a treasure, its spirit flows on forever... cough cough, please pretend you didn't hear that!"

She quickly took out an HP potion and gulped it down, suppressing her own thoughts. Then, Miss Fox sat up straight and said seriously, "I was just passing by..."

"..." Madara Uchiha's eyes sharpened as he realized that this shameless elf was making fun of him!

"Uh, okay, you can call me Fox. My race is Elf, my harem attribute is blonde with huge penises (which can be added as a speech impediment), I'm an alien from another world, and I can add a childhood friend attribute as I like. I'm a plot destroyer who does things out of pure interest!"

Madara Uchiha didn't understand a single word from the beginning about the harem aspect.

The eyes that weren't hidden by her hair watched as Miss Fox went from widening her eyes in feigned innocence to squeezing out tears and putting on a pitiful act, and fell silent.

"Uchiha Madara, but you should know very well." Uchiha Madara, unable to bear it any longer, finally interrupted and spoke up.

When Madara Uchiha first went undercover, he heard a lot of things he shouldn't have heard and gained some general knowledge about the strange fox lady. He guessed in his heart that she might be an existence from the same era as the Sage of Six Paths, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan.

"You say I am the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, what's going on?"

"Hmm, speaking of which, isn't my current contact with you putting me in the Sage of Six Paths' sight?"

The two who had spoken at the same time fell silent.

Madara Uchiha frowned, thinking of something more.

This short sentence already reveals a lot of information. For example, the Sage of Six Paths might still be alive, and the person in front of him is avoiding the Sage of Six Paths' gaze, while contact with him would expose him—meaning the Sage of Six Paths is watching him! "Because I am the reincarnation of Indra's chakra?"

Subconsciously, Madara Uchiha accepted the premise that he was the reincarnation of Indra's chakra.

As for whether the Sage of Six Paths would pay attention to the matter of his two sons' reincarnations, he certainly would. After all, that old man had his own plans, wanting either Indra or Ashura to decide the future of the world.

Well, regardless of the specifics, Miss Fox, who enjoyed reading fantasy novels before her transmigration, was most familiar with the conspiracy theories of the previous era.

Furthermore, the Sage of Six Paths is portrayed very poorly in Naruto, and there are many questionable aspects to his character, which naturally leads to...

"Yes, because you are the reincarnation of Indra's chakra. But while they say they're paying attention to you, the level of attention is probably not very high, otherwise they wouldn't let Black Zetsu fool you like that~" Little giggle, very unserious.

Just like back in Academy City, no matter if someone above is eavesdropping or spying, the mouth has its own thoughts!

Let me tell you first!

"After all, you, Indra, Madara Uchiha, and Ashura, Hashirama Senju, should be on his list of sacrifices this time."

Madara Uchiha's eyes sharpened. He wasn't surprised that Hashirama Senju was a reincarnation of Ashura's chakra. After all, he was a reincarnation of Indra's chakra, so the only one who could be his opponent, Hashirama Senju, must be a reincarnation of Ashura's chakra!

Only an Ashura, who has been Indra's rival since ancient times, is qualified to be his enemy in this era! Regardless of whether he is a reincarnation of Indra's chakra!

What he cared about was the "sacrifice list" that Miss Fox mentioned later!

What does "the list of casualties" mean?

"The literal meaning is simple: we plan to sacrifice your generation of Indra and Asura. Anyway, it's not like you're the first generation. There's still one more chance before the final script."

With a wave of her hand, Miss Fox casually delivered a statement packed with information.

Although all of this was just her speculation, since the original work described the Sage of Six Paths very little and he was just a tool that appeared when needed, it did not stop Miss Fox from speculating about him with the utmost malice.

Just like the saying goes, existence itself is truth.

The appearance of the Sage of Six Paths in the storyline created numerous loopholes and problems in many parts of the story. However, since these loopholes exist, we have to find a way to fill them in based on our personal understanding.

Miss Fox's completion, however, was carried with the utmost malice!

"Didn't I just mention Black Zetsu? I told you you were completely fooled by Black Zetsu, but you're probably wondering who Black Zetsu is, right?"

Madara Uchiha stared intently at Miss Fox, who smiled.

Actually, the situation is pretty much the same now. It's like she's the one who's been tricked by Black Zetsu instead of Black Zetsu. And from the current perspective, in the early stages, it was much easier for her to gain Ban Ye's trust than for Black Zetsu, who had to go through a lot of trouble to do so.

The suppression from people in another world—though this was mainly something Ban-ye actually dared to believe!

"Black Zetsu, strictly speaking, is part of Kaguya Otsutsuki, but possesses independent consciousness. He is also considered Kaguya Otsutsuki's third son and the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths..."

It starts with Black Zetsu introducing Kaguya Otsutsuki, and then begins with the birth of the universe!

---

Chapter 229 Outrageous!

From the birth of the universe to the Otsutsuki clan, from the Otsutsuki clan to the Divine Tree, and from the Divine Tree to the Sage of Six Paths, Indra, Ashura, and Black Zetsu.

Miss Fox, with her own personal insights mixed with valuable information, managed to tell Madara Uchiha a story for several hours, until she couldn't hold her pee and had to end the storytelling session...

No, pretty girls don't need to go to the toilet, so Miss Fox got tired of talking and hastily ended the story for Master Ban, concluding this round of storytelling!

"That's your current situation."

As she handed a bottle of her favorite HP potion to Madara Uchiha, Miss Fox smiled and tapped the cross-border return function in the chat group, ready to make a strategic retreat at any moment.

If the Sage of Six Paths shows any sign of coming out, then don't blame Miss Fox for being unethical.

"Hmph, it seems that the so-called Hidden Leaf Village is nothing but an empty dream!"

After digesting this ton of information, Madara Uchiha was quite surprised, whether it was the truth about the Otsutsuki clan, or the fox lady's description of the Sage of Six Paths' purpose, the existence of Black Zetsu, the birth of Konoha Village in later generations, or the destruction of the Uchiha clan. However, he could not change his expression and remained the aloof and stern god.

The idea of ​​Konoha Village was frequently mentioned to him by Hashirama Senju on the battlefield. It was fine before they became clan leaders, but as the war gradually took the lead, Hashirama Senju mentioned it more and more often. He was also tempted and fantasized about a life without war, where everyone could put aside their hatred.

But after learning about the "glory" of Konoha in later generations from Miss Fox, Madara Uchiha knew that Hashirama Senju's ideas were completely unreliable!

"The war did not stop; instead, it fueled an even larger war. Even if I was deliberately misled by Black Zetsu, Konoha should not exist!"

At the height of his anger, Madara Uchiha couldn't hold back any longer and slammed his fist on the ground, startling the fox girl who was eating a peach.

"Not really. Gathering everyone together, eliminating hatred, and fighting side by side to form a group—that's the right direction." Miss Fox looked regretfully at the fallen fruit on the ground and handed a peach to Uchiha Madara. "Here, calm down. Let me tell you, this peach is super delicious!"

"Building a village, yet being bound by it, sacrificing everything for the village, betraying comrades and abandoning family, and even causing more wars because of the sheer size of the community!" Madara Uchiha didn't take the peach, his eyes filled with indignation. "If the Infinite Tsukuyomi wasn't Black Zetsu's plan to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki, where would that be the most ideal world! No war, no betrayal, everyone could have their ideal life!"

Miss Fox looked at Madara Uchiha, then looked down at the peach in her hand that hadn't been taken away.

He took a bite and said, "Single-player dream. Even if Infinite Tsukuyomi were feasible, it wouldn't be a good thing. In fact, Konoha Village has really gone down the wrong path. It has gone astray from the very foundation."

"...What do you mean?" Madara Uchiha frowned.

Because the events in Konoha Village are told relatively late in the story, Miss Fox only gave a general overview of the development and explained some major events in the plot; she only provided a basic framework.

Madara Uchiha was no ignorant person. Although it was indeed his first time seeing someone like Miss Fox who came from outside the world, knowing the general framework and environment of Konoha Village in the future was enough for him to simulate a future scenario that closely resembled that framework.

Konoha Village, just like the future he and Hashirama Senju envisioned when they were children, still holds a certain degree of fantasy.
