Chapter 404 Classic Konoha Features
Chapter 404 Classic Konoha Features
After the procedure was completed, Ban sat in his wheelchair and took a deep breath.
The long-lost feeling of pain.
Even if I felt physically weak before, it was just an illusion, and I didn't have any corresponding feeling.
Now is the real time.
All I can say is, don't blame Payne for being in so much pain before.
As the original owner of the Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha also had some... inclinations, and he really enjoyed the realism of pain.
In the original timeline, after being reincarnated during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara's first action was to bite himself. He then deliberately took the attack, feeling the pain and laughing heartily.
"Hmm."
As Madara closed his eyes and opened his mouth to take a deep breath, Hashirama had already taken the snacks he had just bought and started to enjoy them, not forgetting to stuff a grilled sausage into Madara's mouth as well.
Ban didn't refuse; enjoying the taste of food is also a way of experiencing life.
Although he is not truly resurrected now, he is only experiencing a kind of illusion through the spell.
But Ban believes he is not far from a true resurrection.
Hashirama pushed Madara's wheelchair away from the experimental base.
After all, this isn't a cafeteria, so it's really inappropriate to eat like this.
Hashirama pushed Madara, preparing to head to the location of the Flying Thunder Formation team, and took Madara to Konoha.
"By the way, Madara, shall we use our transformation magic? Otherwise, we're just too conspicuous in these clothes."
As they walked to the side, Hashirama suddenly made a suggestion.
The two were now wearing deep red Warring States period armor, which was out of place with the clothing of this era.
Most importantly, the two characters are so deeply ingrained in people's minds that the two statues in the Valley of the End are now famous historical sites in the ninja world.
Even if you're not from that era, anyone who has traveled to the Valley of the End would know what the two of them look like.
Even if you've never been there, if you're in Konoha, you can recognize Hashirama just by looking up at the Hokage Rock.
Moreover, it also has the characteristics of being reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation.
These were all things that disturbed his and Madara's quiet observation of Konoha and their travels.
"Sure, but..."
Madara raised his hand, his arm trembled for a moment, and then fell back onto the armrest of his wheelchair with a thud. "I can't use any ninjutsu on my own right now."
Madara strongly agreed with Hashirama's suggestion.
If I can use a transformation technique, then let's transform!
Given his current frail state and wheelchair-bound appearance, it would be an insult to him to have him reappear in the guise of Madara Uchiha.
What a disgrace to be Uchiha Madara!
Why not transform yourself?
Moreover, his reputation is too great. If there are still hot-blooded fools in Konoha who want to defeat him to make a name for themselves and insist on dueling with him, it will be even more troublesome.
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Hashirama grinned.
He used a transformation technique to transform into the appearance of young Hashirama, then put one hand on Madara's shoulder, turning Madara into the appearance of young Madara as well.
However, compared to the original young Madara, Hashirama cleverly added two dark circles under his eyes and sunken cheeks to this Madara, making him look like a sickly boy whose body had been hollowed out.
It's not surprising that he's in a wheelchair like that.
Knowing that Madara's chakra was weak, Hashirama deliberately injected more chakra to prevent the transformation from being canceled.
Then, the two arrived at Konoha.
Hashirama excitedly pushed Madara around everywhere.
Although Konoha was just an excuse for Madara's original goal, and his core objective was still to go to Sunagakure, as the strange song that Hashirama played for him earlier sang, Konoha was ultimately his hometown.
Ban couldn't help but take a closer look.
As I walked, I heard a commotion ahead.
"There's something interesting to see, let's go!"
Hashirama, with an air of "Hakiban, let's go," pushed his wheelchair and rushed over.
The person standing there was the Hokage, Tsunade, who was announcing the results of the Nara clan tournament.
Nara Shikamaru won first place, and from then on he could enjoy the offerings of the Nara clan and completely give up, not needing to do any missions and doing whatever he wanted.
Nara Shikaku came in second place and tragically continued to serve as the clan leader.
He would not have a chance to escape the fate of being the clan leader until the next clan competition, or even until his retirement.
Tsunade was announcing the results, while the other onlookers below watched with great interest.
Shikamaru then began to recount how he completed his mission—incidentally accomplishing his current real mission, which was to spread the story.
As the story progressed, Sasuke's Rinnegan was eventually mentioned.
Sasuke was able to complete that inconceivable crime by relying on the eye techniques of the Rinnegan.
After hearing this, Ban simply kept it in mind.
If possible, he would certainly like to get his original Rinnegan back.
However, if Nagato's strength and influence are too great, he could try to seize Sasuke's Rinnegan first, and then take it back after regaining some strength.
Of course, all of this is predicated on him being resurrected first.
Given his current physical condition, he can't even beat Sasuke, let alone the defensive forces that Tobirama must be providing over there.
"Dad, how about we hold a competitive eating contest for our family?"
"Great idea! The winner will get priority in choosing the best ingredients from the entire tribe!"
"Yay!"
The Akimichi father and son watched the situation of the Nara clan from the side, their eyes shining, and they also had the idea of holding a competition.
However, they weren't trying to win anything; what they really wanted was the process of competing.
—I hope to find an opportunity to have a big meal.
After watching the excitement, Hashirama left Madara behind to go buy food.
Madara is now starting to wonder if Hashirama is the product of a marriage between his father and the Akimichi clan, since he's so gluttonous.
"Hey, where are you from? I've never seen you in the village before!"
A child's voice interrupted Ban's thoughts.
Madara glanced over and saw an ordinary Konoha kid, without even a headband, probably a guy who hadn't graduated from the Ninja Academy yet, followed by a bunch of other kids.
Ban ignored him and closed his eyes.
"Ada!"
Seeing that Ban not only didn't answer his question but also looked at him with such contempt, the child became enraged and kicked Ban out of his wheelchair.
"Well done, boss!"
"That sickly brat from the outlying village dares to be so arrogant when begging in Konoha!"
"Everyone, attack him together!"
As the kids kept talking, everyone rushed forward and started beating up Uchiha Madara.
Madara's transformation technique was reinforced by Hashirama.
A powerful ninja can withstand a certain amount of attack without canceling the transformation technique.
Even with Hashirama's full power, his transformation technique wouldn't be able to be dispelled after being attacked by several ninja academy kids.
And so, Madara began to experience the classic Konoha-style bullying that Kushina, Guy, Obito, Itachi, Hinata, Naruto, and many others had all experienced.
