Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World

Chapter 519 The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path Pilot

"die!"

Sasuke Uchiha's purple Perfect Susanoo seized this excellent opportunity, and the equally enormous blade in his hand slashed fiercely at Madara Uchiha's Susanoo from behind.

Faced with this attack, behind Madara Uchiha's blue Susanoo, at the tips of the wings were two hands, one holding a huge scabbard and the other holding another giant sword.

Bang! !

The giant hand holding the sword behind his back crossed with the giant hand holding the sheath, blocking Uchiha Sasuke's slash from behind. A violent turbulence exploded, blowing away the surrounding dust and mist.

However, this meant that Madara Uchiha's Complete Susanoo was simultaneously subjected to attacks from both the front and the rear, with terrifying forces squeezing it from both directions at the same time.

Click... Clack...

A series of cracking sounds rang out as more and more cracks appeared on the blue Susanoo, making a sound of being overwhelmed.

at last……

boom!

Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo reached its limit, and its massive body exploded, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere, like a shower of blue light.

Madara Uchiha's figure was also swallowed up by the Cero.

Unobstructed, the beam of light shot straight up into the sky, piercing through the thick clouds and creating a huge circular hole.

After an unknown amount of time, countless tiny dust particles, drawn by an invisible force, gathered on the withered shoulders of the Gedo Mazo, transforming once again into the unharmed form of Uchiha Madara.

"Tsk..."

Madara Uchiha lowered his head, looked at his cracked hands, frowned, and a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

This illusory body, controlled by others, will only make him feel bound and unhappy, no matter how many times it can be restored.

Rumble!

Just then, the Gedo Mazo beneath Madara Uchiha's feet suddenly trembled noticeably, interrupting his thoughts.

"Hmm?" He looked down at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and said with interest, "Finally, there's a reaction?"

However, just as he was distracted by observing the changes in the demonic statue of the heretic...

Uchiha Sasuke's purple Susanoo did not pause. The giant blade was raised again, carrying a chilling killing intent, and slashed down fiercely towards the Gedo Mazo and Uchiha Madara.

Faced with the massive blade descending from above, Madara Uchiha simply raised one arm, his palm aligned with the overwhelming, sun-obscuring blade as it slashed down, the kaleidoscope patterns in his eyes gradually transforming into the cycle of rebirth...

But the next moment...

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which stood motionless like a statue, suddenly raised its right arm, clenched its fist, and punched towards the blade slashing down from the purple Susanoo with a suffocatingly heavy pressure!

boom!!

The fist and the blade collided head-on, creating a terrifying roar like two mountains colliding, unleashing a visible shockwave that swept outwards.

"What?"

Sasuke Uchiha stared intently at the Gedo Mazo, whose withered fists gleamed with a cold, hard metallic sheen.

It was this sudden hardening of the metal that gave the Gedo Mazo a powerful defensive capability, allowing it to withstand the attack of the Complete Susanoo.

Bang! !

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a surging explosion erupted from the point on the Gedo Mazo's fist that made contact with Susanoo's giant blade.

The giant blade that Susanoo unleashed was violently lifted upwards by the sudden explosion, causing the entire Susanoo to lose its balance and stagger backward several steps.

Each step left deep cracks in the ground, barely allowing him to maintain his balance.

The demonic statue slowly retracted its smoking fist. Five of its nine eyes, which had been tightly closed, were now open, revealing golden vertical pupils like those of a venomous snake.

On the top of the bald head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, countless black lines emerged like vines, intertwined, and quickly condensed into a humanoid figure with a naked upper body.

It was Orochimaru!

He lowered his head, raised his hands, and the giant arms of the Outer Path Demon Statue slowly rose as well, the movement becoming smoother than before.

"This body..."

Feeling the unprecedented surge of power emanating from this massive body, Orochimaru's face contorted with disbelief and ecstasy as he rasped, "How is this possible?! It's such a perfect fit?!"

He could clearly sense that this so-called heretical statue was like an empty shell that had lost its soul.

After he entered the body, he did not encounter any rejection or resistance. The process was smoother than he had imagined, as if the body had been waiting for a certain consciousness to enter.

And his soul, perfectly fitting into that position, filled the void.

As easy as wielding an arm!

He can not only control this body to make movements, but also use it to unleash various bloodline limits he has mastered. He just used "Steel Release" and "Explosion Release".

This is simply...

"This is incredible." Orochimaru's breathing became slightly rapid.

The last time he used this ability was when he faced Hyuga Kumokawa in the Land of Demons, where he used the earth as his body.

However, the body formed from that fusion was merely a shell; aside from its enormous but clumsy size, it was completely incapable of performing ninjutsu.

and so……

Orochimaru looked at Madara Uchiha, who was standing on the shoulder of the Gedo Mazo, and asked, "What exactly is this so-called Gedo Mazo?"

Madara Uchiha was also scrutinizing Orochimaru and the Gedo Mazo that seemed to have come to life.

His eyes flickered slightly, clearly surprised that Orochimaru could directly control the Gedo Mazo and unleash his bloodline limit.

Upon hearing Orochimaru's question, he crossed his arms and replied calmly, "It's just the Ten-Tails' hull that has had its chakra extracted."

"No..." Orochimaru slowly shook his head, his body trembling slightly, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned upwards. "It's not just that."

He didn't know what the Ten-Tails was.

But he was absolutely certain of one thing.

This so-called heretical demon statue was definitely not some mindless monster in its previous life.

It was once a powerful being with a soul and wisdom.

Just as Orochimaru was immersed in the surprise brought by the Gedo Mazo, a golden flash suddenly appeared beside Naruto.

Minato Namikaze glanced at the Gedo Mazo in the distance, which had five golden snake eyes, and Orochimaru and Madara Uchiha on the top of the statue's head and shoulders. His expression was serious and solemn.

"Did you bring it?" Naruto asked.

Minato withdrew his gaze and nodded: "They should be here soon, they..."

Before the words were finished, two shouts, completely out of place on the battlefield, rang out almost simultaneously.

"Ada!"

"Try this, pinky attack!"

Two figures shrouded in green steam charged toward the towering demonic statue with a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

One punch and one kick landed on the stone pillar-like feet of the heretical demon statue, one on the left and one on the right.

boom!boom!

Two muffled, loud thuds resounded, and the ground beneath the Gedo Mazo instantly cracked, the cracks spreading out in a radial pattern as the massive Gedo Mazo swayed slightly from the impact.

At this moment, Orochimaru, who was sharing his senses with the Gedo Mazo, felt a needle-like pain in the sole of his foot, which froze the ecstatic expression on his face as he looked down.

The two who had successfully attacked used the momentum to perform a backflip, landing lightly a short distance away and creating distance between themselves and the Outer Path Demon Statue.

The boiling green steam on their bodies slowly subsided, revealing Rock Lee and Matt Day, both wearing matching green bodysuits. They both looked up at the monstrous creature before them.

"Wow, that's huge, Senior Dai!" Rock Lee exclaimed.

Matt Dai put his hands on his hips and looked up at the same time: "This big guy has thick skin and tough flesh."

"Li?" Within the purple Susanoo, Sasuke Uchiha saw the two, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "And that other person is…?"

A cloud of gold dust flew up behind Naruto.

Luo Sha stood on a cloud of sand gold, with Mite Kai sitting behind him, completely wrapped in white bandages, only his eyes and mouth showing.

At the same time, seemingly sensing something, Madara Uchiha turned his gaze to the distance, meeting a pair of deep blue eyes.

A figure hovered silently there, its wings spread wide behind it; it was Hinata Kumokawa.

As the smoke cleared, more figures gradually appeared around the battlefield.

Following closely behind Hyuga Kumokawa were Hiruzen Sarutobi, Onoki, and others, as well as Hyuga Neji, the Fourth Raikage, Kyoto, Darui, and Pakura, who had escaped from Hueco Mundo like Naruto and Sasuke...

"Hashirama!" Seeing the figure in the distance, Madara Uchiha grinned excitedly and called out eagerly, "I've been waiting for you!"

A massive wooden dragon coiled and spun in the distance, with a somber expression on Hashirama Senju standing beside him, and Kakashi Hatake beside him.

On the other side, Tobirama Senju, who looked extremely disheveled, and Killer Bee, who was also injured, arrived one after another.

Behind them, more and more surviving Allied Ninjas, like streams flowing into the sea, gathered from every corner of the battlefield.

Compared to the original massive ninja alliance, the number of people gathered here now is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

Looking around, although there was a dense mass of nearly ten thousand people, very few of them were unharmed; almost everyone was injured, and the organization had been completely disrupted.

"It's the Hokage!"

"The Tsuchikage is still alive!"

"Look! It's Lord Raikage!"

"That's... Lord Minato?"

"Captain Darui! That's great!"

"Lord Hayakura..."

The relief of surviving the ordeal erupted when they recognized familiar faces. Many ninjas embraced their surviving comrades tightly, as if only in this way could they confirm that they were still alive, and that their comrades were still alive.

But this relief was quickly overshadowed by a heavier sorrow.

"Chōjūrō is dead..."

"Where is Lord Kisame?!"

"Wait, could it be that Lady Mizukage also...?"

When your gaze sweeps across the crowd, searching for familiar figures but finding none, when inquiries are met only with silence and a shake of the head, sorrow overwhelms the fleeting joy.

The allied ninjas gripped their ninja tools tightly and glared angrily at Madara Uchiha and the Gedo Mazo.

However, Orochimaru's gaze did not linger on these rabble; he looked directly past the enraged allied forces and into the distance.

"..."

There, four figures stood silently, completely out of place among the allied ninjas, exuding a chilling aura of danger.

"..."

There, four figures stood silently, completely out of place among the allied ninjas, exuding a chilling aura of danger.

— "Whirlpool", "Caged Bird", "Sandstorm", "Flame Ape".

The mere presence and oppressive force of these four individuals overwhelmed the nearly ten thousand Allied Ninja soldiers surrounding them.

The once noisy battlefield gradually fell into a deathly silence under the influence of that aura.

Behind the "vortex," four black chains extended out, each chain binding a person tightly at its end.

The two are Yugito, Furuhi, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

All five people had their eyes closed and were clearly unconscious, completely suppressed by the seal on the chains.

"The Jinchuriki have all been obtained by the Espada?" Orochimaru frowned, sensing that things were getting a bit tricky.

Even from this distance, I could clearly feel the dangerous aura emanating from them.

Trying to snatch the Jinchuriki from these four formidable-looking individuals while simultaneously dealing with the combined forces' ninja siege is an extremely difficult task.

"Are there only three of you left?"

"Whirlpool" glanced at "Caged Bird", "Sandstorm" and "Flame Ape" beside it, its eyelids lowered slightly, but it quickly regained its composure.

She looked up at Orochimaru atop the Gedo Mazo and asked, "Was it you who broke the seal here?"

"it's me."

Orochimaru readily admitted, a smile appearing on his face: "Sakuya isn't here? Looks like he wasn't so lucky; he didn't get the chance to participate in this final act."

"It seems that almost everyone who was supposed to be there has arrived."

High above, Hinata Kumokawa calmly surveyed the opposing forces below and said, "Judging from the numbers, it seems our side has the advantage?"

"No matter how many people there are, they're nothing but chickens and dogs, a rabble." Uchiha Madara stood on the shoulder of the Gedo Mazo with his arms crossed, his disdain undisguised.

His gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Hashirama Senju in the distance, his fighting spirit rising faintly.

"Heh, although they are a rabble, they are not all theirs." Orochimaru's smile remained unchanged. "We are not the fewest in number."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hands and formed a hand seal in front of him. At the same time, the demonic statue beneath him also raised its arms and formed the same hand seal.

hum! !

An invisible yet incredibly powerful chakra burst forth from the golem, instantly sweeping across the entire battlefield!

"What...?"

Everyone present who had been summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation froze in unison.

A powerful, concentrated, and irresistible force forcibly covered and suppressed their own will.

If it were just Orochimaru alone, without Danzo's Mangekyou Sharingan and Kotoamatsukami, it might really be difficult for him to control so many powerful individuals at the same time.

But at this moment, amplified by the Gedo Mazo, Orochimaru's control over the Impure World Reincarnation reached a terrifying level, which even Hashirama Senju could not resist.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Rasa transformed into black shadows and vanished from their original positions in an instant. The next moment, they appeared on the shoulder of the Gedo Mazo.

"Damn it! I was careless!" Hashirama Senju said regretfully. "I should have sealed myself away before coming out."

After saying that, he subconsciously turned his head and met the strange look that Uchiha Madara was giving him.

His eyes seemed to say, "I thought I was finally going to have a good fight with you, but you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have actually betrayed me and come to my side."

Hashirama Senju, having understood the meaning behind Madara's gaze, became even more frustrated, but could only stare helplessly.

"Although I'm a little annoyed that I can't play another match, but..."

A look of interest appeared on Madara Uchiha's face as he thought to himself, "It seems I have a chance to try out some techniques I've thought of before."

Thinking of this, he looked at Hashirama Senju and said, "Hey, Hashirama, what do you think...?"

"Is it possible to bestow my Susanoo upon your True Thousand Hands?"

I originally planned to update at midnight along with the extra chapters, but I seem to have forgotten to remind you, so I'll post the main text first.

A bonus chapter about Sichuan cuisine will be released after midnight on April 1st. It's 9,000 words long. You can leave a monthly pass if you like it. Thank you!
