Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 152: Uchiha Madara Strikes Yet Again!

The colossal form of the Gedo Statue became even more terrifying after absorbing the Nine-Tails. However, Ishihara appeared completely indifferent to the sight.

At this moment, Ishihara's only interest was to study the Ten-Tails' chakra and figure out how the Gedo Statue's energy was constructed.

Uchiha Madara, on the other hand, mistook Ishihara's indifference for fear. This only made him more arrogant.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid now? Well, it's too late!" Madara roared as the Gedo Statue began condensing a Tailed Beast Bomb.

But unlike the other Tailed Beast Bombs, this was the one unleashed by the Ten-Tails! Even if all the Tailed Beast Bombs from other tailed beasts were combined, they wouldn't match the destructive power of this single blast from the Ten-Tails.

Yet Ishihara showed no concern. His only goal was to take control of the Ten-Tails so he could continue his research.

As the incoming Tailed Beast Bomb approached, Ishihara wasted no time and immediately summoned a Truth-Seeking Ball.

Boom!

The Truth-Seeking Ball, known as the hardest substance in the ninja world, collided with the Tailed Beast Bomb, shattering it on impact!

"This is impossible!" Uchiha Madara was stunned. His opponent had blocked the Tailed Beast Bomb—one from the Ten-Tails, no less—with such ease. Even with his Perfect Susano'o, he wouldn't have been able to accomplish that so effortlessly.

"What is that dark object? Could it be... the power of the Six Paths?"

Ignoring Madara's shock, Ishihara activated his Sharingan and forcibly took control of the Gedo Statue. This astonished Madara even further.

"How could he, with just an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, control the Gedo Statue? And without suffering any backlash? Who is this guy? Is he even a ninja?"

"No! I can't lose to him! No matter what, I must activate Infinite Tsukuyomi! This is my dream... the dream of Hashirama Senju! For the sake of peace in the ninja world, I must become the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki!"

With this determination, Madara approached the Ten-Tails, intending to fuse with it.

Ishihara paid him no mind. To him, even if Madara became the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki, it wouldn't pose any threat.

Instead, Ishihara was on the verge of a breakthrough. He had almost deciphered the Ten-Tails' chakra and the energy of the Gedo Statue. After having already mastered the power of the Reaper, this task seemed relatively straightforward.

Soon, Ishihara achieved his goal. He successfully unraveled the energy of the Ten-Tails and figured out how to cultivate the same kind of power as the Ten-Tails and the Gedo Statue.

He called it the Tailed Beast Training Method. This technique promised near immortality. Once perfected, it would allow its practitioner to exist like a tailed beast—eternal and indestructible. Even if killed, they could resurrect after a short time.

This was, in essence, a method for true immortality.

However, Ishihara noticed a flaw in the technique. It could only extend one's lifespan by a maximum of 100,000 years, no matter how advanced the training became.

This limitation fell short of Ishihara's expectations, as it was not true eternal life. It felt like something was missing.

Suddenly, Ishihara thought of another being: someone suspected to be the progenitor of chakra—Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

If there was any chakra he hadn't studied yet, it would likely be the chakra within Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. The Ten-Tails was essentially the Divine Tree, so its chakra was nearly identical to that of the Divine Tree, leaving no significant differences.

But Kaguya Ōtsutsuki belonged to the Ōtsutsuki Clan and was the only clan member Ishihara could currently access. The other Ōtsutsuki clan members would take a long time to appear, and as for the Sage of Six Paths, Ishihara had no way of meeting him if he chose to hide.

Meanwhile, Madara succeeded in absorbing the Ten-Tails and became its jinchuriki.

"Hahaha! This feeling... this power... I now wield the same strength as the Sage of Six Paths!" Madara roared triumphantly.

In his eyes, he had already attained the power of the Six Paths and could wield its might. He believed himself to be the new Sage of Six Paths, while Ishihara was nothing more than a ridiculous clown.

Madara's transformation was complete—his hair turned white, nine Truth-Seeking Balls floated behind him, and he donned a white cloak identical to that of the Sage of Six Paths. In his hand was a Six Paths Staff.

At this point, Madara's power rivaled that of the original Sage of Six Paths. As for who would be stronger between him and the current Sage of Six Paths, no one could say for sure.

However, Ishihara was convinced that the Sage of Six Paths was still stronger. After all, Madara posed no threat to him.

"Feel the power of despair!" Madara declared arrogantly. Humiliated twice before, he was desperate to reclaim his dignity. Infinite Tsukuyomi could wait until Ishihara was dealt with.

But Ishihara wasn't interested in fighting Madara. His only concern was finding Black Zetsu to unseal and summon Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
