Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

Since there is no audience, the battle between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama will naturally not go on, and the conspiracy that Senju Tobirama imagined has disappeared.

The next day, the Uchiha clan held a grand ceremony to celebrate the adoption of their eldest son. Except for the fact that Kurosaki Ichigo insisted on rejecting Uchiha Ichigo's name and was stopped by Uchiha Madara during the ceremony, everything went smoothly. .

Kurosaki Ichigo also learned during this time that this was a world where the level of technology was not high and ninjas had become the brightest profession under the sun.

But after all, this is ancient times, people have few entertainment methods, and there are fewer wars, so the bored Uchiha people have made up various versions of stories based on what happened at the adoption ceremony. These stories are not only spread within the Uchiha clan, but also among the Uchiha clan. Soon the entire Konoha Village knew about it.

The most popular version of the story is: Ichigo Kurosaki is the illegitimate son of Madara Uchiha, but Madara Uchiha abandoned him without knowing he was pregnant. The woman gave birth to Ichigo Kurosaki and gave birth to him. He took his mother's surname.Later, Uchiha Madara found out about this, and the woman happened to die of illness, so he took back his son as an adopted son. Because of this, Kurosaki Ichigo hated Uchiha Madara and refused to take his father's surname.

Soon this seemingly rigorous version defeated the other versions with an overwhelming advantage, becoming the truth about Uchiha Madara's adopted son, and spread throughout the village, even the two bosses of the Senju clan heard about it.

Senju Hashirama naturally laughed it off. He knew Uchiha Madara and knew that he wouldn't do this based on his personality, so he didn't care.

However, Senju Tobirama didn't think so. After hearing this rumor, his eyes lit up and he began to prepare to use this rumor to lower Uchiha Madara's reputation and cut off his path to Hokage.

Of course, this popular rumor eventually reached the ears of the two parties involved. Madara Uchiha, who had always been cold and arrogant, did not pay attention to it, but Ichigo Kurosaki was so shocked that he could only sigh with a wry smile at the ancients. It's really boring.

Just when this rumor was spreading more and more, another shocking event happened, which shifted people's attention. Senju Tobirama's plan to use this incident to undermine Uchiha Madara's prestige was temporarily put on hold. He had to put it aside because this major incident happened to his brother Senju Hashirama.

Hokage Assassinated

That's right, Senju Hashirama, who suppressed the ninja world with his super sage-like strength, was assassinated by a young ninja after becoming Hokage, and the ninja managed to escape.

Such an unbelievable incident directly shocked the entire ninja world, and the furious Konoha executives quickly found out that the assassinating ninja was the ninja Kakuzu who was born in Taki Ninja Village.

Although Kakuzu killed many high-level officials of Taki-nin Village and was therefore exiled by Taki-nin village and regarded as a traitor, in this era where the rebellion system is imperfect, Konoha can only choose to vent his anger to Taki-nin village. on the body.

During that time, Kurosaki Ichigo clearly felt the depression before the war. The Uchiha tribesmen were also in full swing. They could often be seen wiping their weapons, as if they were preparing to rush to the battlefield in the next second. .

In the end, Senju Hashirama, who was not seriously injured, came forward and graciously resolved the grievances, making the war disappear. However, as one of the two new large-scale ninja villages seeking to cooperate with Konoha, Taki Ninja I don't want to talk about cooperation with Senju Tobirama anymore.

Just as Senju Tobirama was looking for new allies to establish a new order in the ninja world, the tailed beast gathering plan also began.

This plan was made by Senju Tobirama. The goal is to collect all the tailed beasts except the Nine-Tails that are originally in Konoha's hands, and then rely on the assembly of several large tailed beasts to give Konoha a powerful force similar to nuclear deterrence. Deterrence, and use this to supervise the ninja world and achieve the purpose of maintaining peace.

It can be said that Senju Tobirama's plan can make Konoha still have the strength to dominate the ninja world even after losing the two great gods Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, so it was unanimously approved by Konoha's top brass.

However, this time Senju Hashirama was unable to participate in the plan because he was assassinated, so Uchiha Madara could only step in with Kurosaki Ichigo, who had just been adopted by him, under Senju Tobirama's complicated eyes. On the journey to capture the tailed beast.

First of all, the first stop for Uchiha Madara and Kurosaki Ichigo is the eastern coastal area, where the giant turtle-like three-tailed beast Isofu roams.

Although Isofu has always been lurking in the offshore waters and appears elusive, with the support of Konoha's powerful intelligence network, Isofu's location was soon reported to Uchiha Madara.

When Uchiha Madara took Kurosaki Ichigo to the coast, he would not be idle along the way. It happened that Kurosaki Ichigo's body recovered well after this period of recuperation, so Uchiha Madara decided to teach him He gathered chakra.

"Come, sit down cross-legged." Uchiha Madara said to the reluctant Kurosaki Ichigo while sitting in the temporary wooden house.

"What are you doing?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked with a frown. He was still angry that Uchiha Madara changed his name. However, although he was very cold towards Uchiha Madara on the surface, after getting along with him for this period of time, he had already grown fond of Uchiha in his heart. Haubara regards him as his own relative.

Uchiha Madara smiled nonchalantly: "Don't be distracted, now I'm going to teach you how to concentrate chakra."

"Condensing Chakra." Kurosaki Ichigo closed his eyes and held his chin with his right hand as if thinking. After a while, he opened his eyes and said seriously, "What is Chakra?"

"..." Uchiha Madara looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with a dark look on his face, thinking that he could ask any constructive questions after pondering for a long time, but he was slapped in the face every minute.

"Ahem," Uchiha Madara spoke again after coughing twice to relieve his embarrassment, "Chakra is a kind of energy produced by the perfect fusion of physical energy and mental energy controlled by the human body. We need to gather ourselves through meditation.”

"Meditation" Kurosaki Ichigo thought for a while and felt that it should be similar to the blade Zen he learned when he was studying Assassin. "Wouldn't it be very strenuous and you wouldn't have to meditate before every battle?"

"Of course not," Madara Uchiha explained for Ichigo Kurosaki, "It's just that you need to meditate to condense chakra for the first time. After the chakra is condensed, the body's instinct will remember the meditation process, and chakra will flow continuously. Produce and stimulate the body’s cells, enhancing all aspects of the body’s qualities.”

"Can't we just meditate?" Ichigo Kurosaki said unhappily with his mouth pursed. He really has no love for meditation, blade Zen and other mysterious and mysterious things, so meditation to condense chakra feels like a headache. " Is there no other way?"

"No, no." Uchiha Madara refused without raising his eyes. It's not that there are methods that don't require meditation. Later generations of orphans or civilians like Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura did not need to meditate, but directly formed seals. It promotes the fusion of power in the body to produce chakra. However, compared to this method, the chakra produced after meditation is far superior not only in quantity but also in recovery speed, so Uchiha Madara will naturally not seek convenience. And accommodate Kurosaki Ichigo.

"Well, okay..." Kurosaki Ichigo pursed his lips and turned his head to think for a while. Although he was very resistant to the method of meditation, it was undoubtedly more uncomfortable for him to know that he had no power to protect his companions after losing the power of Death. , after struggling for a while in his heart, he nodded to Uchiha with a grimace.

"Very good," Uchiha Madara showed a satisfied smile on his face. He could detect Kurosaki Ichigo's resistance to meditation, and could also feel Kurosaki Ichigo's firm will to gain power, "Concentrate, Let your mind sink into your own body.”

"Yes." Kurosaki Ichigo agreed, then closed his eyes and meditated to integrate his spirit into his body.

It has to be said that although Kurosaki Ichigo relies on brute force every time he breaks through, and he himself resists this method, he has extremely high talent for it, and he has already defeated him in less than 1 minute. The spirit was integrated into it, which made Uchiha Madara on the side marvel in his heart, because it is generally difficult for children to concentrate so much. Even a genius like him, it took him at least nearly half an hour to enter this selfless and empty state. of.

Soon, there was a subtle strange sound in Ichigo Kurosaki's body, like the cap of a soda pop being suddenly opened after being violently shaken. A fountain of power seemed to flow out of the cells in Ichigo Kurosaki's body. Filling his whole body.

At this time, Kurosaki Ichigo felt that he had arrived in an endless blue sea. No matter which direction he traveled in, it seemed to be endlessly vast, and there were no living creatures here. But even though he was in the sea, However, Kurosaki Ichigo did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt extremely comfortable, as if he had returned to the warm embrace of his mother a long time ago.

"Huhu,"

The sound of the breeze was mixed with the strange sounds inside Kurosaki Ichigo's body. Uchiha Madara's eyes sharpened suddenly, and chakra was released, but no trace of anyone else was found.

Uchiha Madara frowned, and after looking around, he realized that the breeze was coming from Kurosaki Ichigo, and he also discovered that blood-vessel-like blood-red lines appeared on Ichigo Kurosaki's body. , flickering on and off, as if there is blood flowing in it.

At this time, Uchiha Madara suddenly realized that the chakra aura emanating from Kurosaki Ichigo was very familiar to him, because the chakra of Senju Hashirama, the only one who had fought with him for many years, often had this aura. .

Rishi Chakra

"He has power within him that can be cultivated to extreme strength."

Uchiha Madara remembered what Yhwach had said, and couldn't help but smile: "Sage mode is really exciting."
