Immediately after, Uchiha Tenxiu unhesitatingly commanded his Advanced Shadow Clone to carefully place Uchiha Ming's lifeless body into a special scroll. This scroll was capable of protecting the body from external factors.
Then, the Shadow Clone Uchiha Tenxiu held the scroll containing the body and another scroll containing the precious Mangekyo Sharingan. Both scrolls were extremely important to him, and there could be no room for error.
With a flick of his arm, he threw these two scrolls like shooting stars, accurately to his main body in mid-air. Uchiha Tenxiu's main body steadily caught the two scrolls, and then, without hesitation, he threw them into his Heavenly Dimension Space, initiating time-stasis.
This Heavenly Dimension Space was a high-level spatiotemporal existence independent of the real world, where time could be completely stilled according to his needs. This meant that no matter how time flowed in the outside world, the materials inside would not undergo any changes.
This way, Uchiha Tenxiu no longer had to worry about these important research materials being damaged or rendered ineffective over time, especially since technology was not yet advanced enough to preserve them.
After dealing with the body and the Sharingan, Uchiha Tenxiu did not stop. He swiftly ordered the Shadow Clone to handle the traces at the scene, ensuring no clues were left behind.
The Advanced Shadow Clones moved swiftly and precisely, meticulously cleaning the entire scene, not missing a single drop of blood, or even a tiny bit of cellular tissue.
Not only that, to ensure absolute thoroughness, Uchiha Tenxiu also had the Shadow Clone use Fire Release Ninjutsu to completely clean the surrounding area again, restoring everything to its original state.
When all of this was completed.
Uchiha Tenxiu finally let out a slight sigh of relief.
He looked around, confirmed that nothing was overlooked, then nodded in satisfaction and dispelled the Advanced Shadow Clone.
Finally, Uchiha Tenxiu, riding the giant eagle, sped away like a bolt of lightning, disappearing into the distant horizon.
Throughout the entire process, Uchiha Tenxiu's main body never touched the ground; only a Shadow Clone was active.
Given the Ninja World's deciphering capabilities, no matter how thorough the tracking intelligence, it would be impossible to trace him.
Neither Ninja dogs, nor Aburame...
Could track something that appeared out of nowhere.
"However, I still need to find a way to deal with Uchiha Ming's remnants at his home. I'll have Elder Leimen arrange for people to thoroughly clean it, leaving no trace. This way, even if Senju Tobirama's Edo Tensei technique, which he might not have fully developed yet, comes into play, he won't be able to uncover the truth!"
On the back of the giant eagle summoning beast, Uchiha Tenxiu pondered while arranging for a long detour before flying back to Konoha.
...
And half an hour later.
At the epicenter of the Forbidden Technique: Raging Lion Hair.
A pitch-black, viscous, shadow-like substance slowly emerged from underground. He wore a straw hat and was completely covered, revealing only a pair of dark yellow pupils.
If Uchiha Tenxiu were present here, he would surely recognize him as Black Zetsu, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's third child, one of the black hands left in the Ninja World, who deliberately guided the Uchiha Clan onto the path of awakening the Rinnegan.
However, at this moment, Black Zetsu was not engaged in any conspiracy, but merely came to investigate after sensing such powerful energy destruction. After all, as one of the hidden manipulators of the Ninja World, Black Zetsu's Rinnegan plan had not officially begun, and he had always kept his identity concealed.
Looking at the scene of destruction around him, Black Zetsu's eyes widened, his face filled with an expression of disbelief. Although he had long witnessed the strength of powerful Ninja in the Ninja World, this scene still shocked him immensely.
"Hiss!" Black Zetsu gasped, sighing inwardly, "The power of this Forbidden Technique is truly astonishing! Even Hagoromo's two direct sons, Indra and Ashura, would probably find it difficult to casually unleash such a wide-ranging destructive ability."
Black Zetsu's brows furrowed tightly. He realized that the existence of this Forbidden Technique could have a significant impact on his plans. After all, if someone could master such a Forbidden Technique, it would be entirely possible to use it as a deterrent to maintain peace in the Ninja World.
"In that case, a Ninja World without war would not compel the Rinnegan wielder to strive for peace, and the outcome I desire would naturally not be achieved!" Black Zetsu grew increasingly anxious, beginning to rack his brain for a countermeasure.
"It seems I must find a way to make this clan completely dormant..." Black Zetsu mused to himself, various thoughts flashing through his mind as he tried to find a viable solution.
Suddenly, he seemed to discover something, and his entire body merged back into the soil, disappearing without a trace.
Even the most excellent sensory Ninja in the entire Ninja World would not be able to detect the slightest movement.
A moment later.
Swish, swish, swish!
Figures of Anbu appeared like ghosts in the area.
At the periphery of the Forbidden Technique: Raging Lion Hair, more than a dozen Anbu figures stood dumbfounded, each as if they had seen a demon from hell, terrified beyond measure, their entire bodies trembling.
"No, no way! What kind of monster is this? Is that an attack a Ninja can accomplish? Stop joking!"
An Anbu knelt on the ground, as if all strength had been drained from his body, staring dumbfounded at the hellish crater before him, which exuded a suffocating heat.
"Damn it, am I dreaming! This, this existence, how could we possibly deal with it?"
Another Anbu pinched his shoulder hard, then quickly shook his head, trying to shake off this nightmare.
"This range is at least tens of kilometers, maybe even a hundred kilometers. This, even the God of Shinobi would be outmatched."
An Anbu with a white cat mask looked at the boundless attack range around him, his legs trembling and his face filled with fear.
"Captain, should we still go forward?" An Anbu turned his head, his forehead covered in large beads of sweat, and asked with a trembling voice, his entire being terrified by the horrifying attack range before him.
He never imagined he would have the courage to investigate.
He would die!
If they encountered an enemy like that.
They would definitely die!
All the Anbu present were completely intimidated by everything before them, having lost their usual calm and daring not to act.
Beside them, Senju Yunzhi, as the captain, also had the urge to retreat, but remembering Senju Tobirama's specific instructions when he came, he gritted his teeth and said, "You all stay here, I'll go alone..."
His voice was firm and carried a hint of resolve: "I will go to the central area alone to investigate. No matter what, I must bring back intelligence to the Village, even if it costs my life..."
"Captain, I, I'll go too..."
"Captain, I'll go with you!"
Thinking of the Village, a few more among the dozen Anbu overcame their fear, exchanged glances, and said in unison.
Senju Yunzhi shook his head, his gaze sharp, and calmly said, "Never mind, you just need to investigate around this outer perimeter. That way, if you encounter an invincible person, immediately send a signal to retreat. Remember, this is just a reconnaissance mission, there's no need to risk your lives. You must return alive!"
"Move out!"
Under the command of Captain Senju Yunzhi, the others quickly headed towards the outer perimeter, leaving only him to go to the central area.
...
"Cough cough! Pfft..."
Senju Yunzhi knelt on the ground, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, his eyes bloodshot, as he watched the masked person opposite him retract his fist. He thought to himself, "Is this person the one who caused this destruction? His strength is so immense that even I, an Elite Jonin, couldn't last a single move!"
"How pathetic! You just had to run into me. I didn't want to kill more people! Why did you attack first!"
Beneath the mask, Uchiha Madara looked indifferently at the Konoha Anbu who had dared to test him. In order not to expose his identity, even if there was the slightest possibility, he didn't want to leave any clues, so he could only let the other party die!
Just as Uchiha Madara was about to eliminate this Anbu who had boldly attacked him, a powerful Chakra appeared in his perception, and that powerful Chakra energy also carried a sensory ability, already locking onto this Anbu.
Hmm, wait, this approaching Chakra...
Is it Hashirama!
Uchiha Madara, wearing his mask, stopped his movements, recalling something with great interest, and ceased his attack.
But the next moment, Uchiha Madara's face beneath the mask became distorted, and he thought with bitter hatred, "Hmph! Hashirama, you and I have severed all ties. You, who sacrificed everything for the Village, what kind of expression will you show when you finally discover the Village's corruption! I truly wish to see that day. Oh well! When I achieve Yin-Yang Unity, that will be the time for us to meet! If I kill this Anbu now, you'll probably chase me relentlessly!"
Knowing that Senju Hashirama was the kind of person who took things seriously, if he were to kill this Anbu within Hashirama's sensory range.
Even Senju Hashirama, whose lifespan was already limited, would never compromise and would definitely unleash his full power.
Even at the cost of his life.
He would try to take Madara down with him.
And now, with only one eye, even though he had gained Sage Power, he still couldn't guarantee victory, let alone his grand ambition, which required waiting for the right moment!
However, thinking of the Village that the other party had created, and how it had already become corrupt from the very beginning.
Uchiha Madara couldn't help but feel smug, as if he had already seen the painful expression of his rival, Senju Hashirama.
Oh well! Hashirama, you can slowly wait for your death!
When I achieve Yin-Yang Unity and the Rinnegan awakens.
All dreams will be realized at that time!
Uchiha Madara thought to himself and instantly left the spot.
...
"For the Village, I can only sacrifice myself!"
Senju Yunzhi held a death wish in his heart, intending to use his life as a price to allow the Anbu behind him to retreat.
Just then, he saw that the masked person seemed to sense something, stopped his movements, and instantly left the area.
"I survived!"
Senju Yunzhi collapsed to the ground.
As he fainted, he vaguely heard something.
"Big Brother, I already sent people! Why did you still secretly come over? Luckily I found you..."
"..."
