Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

The next afternoon, accompanied by a cloud of dust, the gate of Konoha Village appeared in front of everyone.

The entrance of the village was already bustling with people, villagers were waving flags, children were holding flowers, and standing on both sides were two teams of Anbu ninjas.

All eyes were on the returning heroes of Konoha.

The villagers stood on the side of the road and cheered loudly. When Uchiha Yi followed Namikaze Minato into the gate, this grand welcome ceremony reached its climax of celebration.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at the front of the crowd, with several high-level advisors standing behind him. Representatives from various major families also appeared at the village gate.

"There are so many people here. The Hokage-sama is here too."

Obito smiled and waved to the villagers around him, his face full of excitement and excitement.

All three members of Minato's team participated in this battle. Obito and the ninjas in the clan belonged to the first group, Kakashi was assigned to the second group led by Minato, and Nohara Rin, as a medical ninja, did not directly participate in the battle.

Behind Obito were a large group of wounded soldiers wrapped in bandages, and behind them were the ashes of the dead in battle.

"Look, that's Master Yi. It is said that he defeated the Kirigakure ninja troops alone on the front line!"

"So young..."

"Minato-sama is also very young, that's amazing!"

"The war is finally coming to an end, and peace is coming!"

Many people's faces were filled with deep anticipation and excitement.

The war lasted for more than three years. They lost too much and paid too great a sacrifice. Today, people finally see the dawn of peace.

Among the crowd gathered at the entrance of the village and watching, there were many of Uchiha Yi’s classmates. They stood in the crowd and looked at Uchiha Yi with complicated expressions.

"Yi has changed so much. It's only been three years since graduation, but he has already left us far behind."

Asuma stood far behind the crowd with a hint of unwillingness on his face. He also wanted to participate in this battle, but was ultimately rejected by his father.

Seeing his former companions become heroes cheered and loved by the villagers, Asuma's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness.

Shisui followed behind Yi, and his name "Instant Body Shisui" was completely known in this battle. He became the second genius to emerge in the Uchiha clan after Yi.

"Brother Yi, many people are calling your name!" Shisui said excitedly.

"Calm down, Shisui. Even though we've won this battle, the war isn't over yet. Don't relax too much." Yi said calmly.

"As expected of Brother Yi, he can remain so calm in this kind of situation." Shisui nodded, thinking secretly in his heart.

What followed was another tedious and boring victory speech.

Uchiha Yi was drowsy standing in the audience. If he had not been standing in the first row, he would have slipped away long ago.

A full hour later, Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his brainwashing speech, and Uchiha Yi could finally return home and have a good rest.

The next day, afternoon.

Uchiha Yi strolled on the streets of Konoha. As the Five Nations War came to an end, the number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased, and there was a hint of relaxation on people's faces.

The dawn of victory is beckoning, and many Konoha villagers are beginning to prepare to celebrate peace.

Seeing Uchiha Yi, many villagers stopped and bowed to him. In their eyes, Uchiha Yi was a hero and contributor to Konoha's victory. Although he was still very young, he was also worthy of awe.

Uchiha Yi looked calm and just nodded.

Unlike other people in the village who were in a leisurely and relaxed mood, he knew what would happen in the future.

Whether it was the Battle of Kannabi Bridge or the Nine-Tails Rebellion that was about to happen in two years, the guy behind the scenes was Uchiha Madara, who was manipulating things.

It is not so easy to change the fate of Obito or even the Uchiha clan.

With his current strength, he should be at the entry-level level of a shadow actor.

The pinnacle of the Kage level is the Five Kage, which includes such famous figures as Minato Namikaze, Sakumo Hatake, and the Three Ninjas of Konoha.

Mangekyō Uchiha Itachi, Sage Mode Kabuto Yakushi, the perfect Jinchūriki of the Tailed Beasts, and Hanzo the Salamander who was once called a "demigod" also belong to this level.

Above that is the Super Kage level, represented by Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, both of whom possess the terrifying power to destroy an entire country.

In addition, Might Guy and his son who opened the eighth gate, Nagato with the Rinnegan, and Obito with the Rinnegan are also super shadow level.

After them are Obito, who is at the quasi-Six Paths Sage level and the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Kakashi with double Kamui, Uchiha Madara who has obtained the power of the Six Paths Sage, etc. Their characteristics are that they have obtained the power of the Six Paths Sage for a short period of time.

Standing at the top of the Naruto world is the Six Paths Sage, of which there are currently only six paths sage and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

At the end of the original work, Naruto, who had the perfect body of the Sage of Six Paths, and Sasuke, who was given the Six-magatama Rinnegan by the Sage of Six Paths, were also considered to be at this level.

According to this level classification, with Uchiha Yi's current strength, he is still far from being able to deal with Uchiha Madara.

During this period of time, Uchiha Yi has been thinking and looking for ways to quickly improve his strength.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to start with the Sage Mode and Sage Arts.

If you want to learn immortal arts, you must find a way to enter the three holy places.

Jiraiya and Tsunade had already left Konoha Village and their whereabouts were unknown. The only chance was Orochimaru.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Yi quickened his pace.

After a while, he arrived at the Death Forest surrounding Konoha Village.

He held a map provided by the Anbu in his hand, and after searching in the forest for a while, he finally found Orochimaru's secret base.

This is a pitch-black cave with spider webs all around the entrance. In the inconspicuous corners, there are several small purple snakes hiding.

"Is this Orochimaru's base? It's really well hidden."

Uchiha Yi was also very curious about Orochimaru's secret research base.

He glanced inside and saw that except for the entrance of the cave, the rest was completely dark.

Touching the tip of his nose, Uchiha Yi felt helpless.

You can imagine how disgusting it is inside. If it were in the past, he would definitely not want to have any contact with Orochimaru.

On the one hand, he felt that Orochimaru was a little too disgusting, and on the other hand, he was worried that if he came into contact with him, he would trick him.

But now, Uchiha Yi is no longer afraid of Orochimaru.

If the two of them really fight, even if he can't win, he will definitely have no problem protecting himself.

"Whatever, it's disgusting."

In order to obtain the method of practicing immortal arts from Orochimaru, he had no choice but to force himself.

Uchiha Yi took out a flashlight from his ninja tool bag and jumped into the cave.

The cave was very deep, and Uchiha Yi floated in the air for more than twenty meters before landing on the ground.

Uchiha Yi glanced around.

The underground base is very spacious, like an underground palace.

He walked forward carefully along the underground passage.

The surrounding rock walls were uneven, with vines, leaves and tree roots densely entwined on the stone walls. The cracks in the stone walls were filled with dense, opaque moss, which looked very eerie.

The road inside the cave was winding and connected to many interconnected caves, making it difficult to tell the direction. After walking for a while, light finally appeared in front.

A thin figure seemed to have been standing there early. When he saw Uchiha Yi coming, a strange smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You're here, Yi."
