MTS: Marvel and Beyond

Chapter 122: Reincarnators?

The massive fireball, with a diameter of dozens of meters, couldn't withstand the terrifying repulsive force for even a moment before it was extinguished. Even after the Majestic Destroyer Flame was snuffed out, the overwhelming repulsion continued to surge toward Uchiha Madara at incredible speed.

Madara stared at Alex in shock, especially fixating on his Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan. Having once possessed the Rinnegan himself, Madara was well aware of its powers. The fact that Alex was using the Shinra Tensei technique—an ability of the Rinnegan—made everything Alex said seem all the more plausible.

Could it be true? Was there an even higher level beyond the Rinnegan?

Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan... These were realms Madara had never reached.

His pride shattered by Alex's words, but Uchiha Madara, being who he was, did not let that defeat him. Instead of falling into despair, his fighting spirit only surged higher!

"Hahaha! So that's how it is! The Rinnegan has an even higher realm beyond it? How thrilling!"

"Come, let's dance! Show me the power of the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan!"

Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly, and a purple skeletal form began to take shape around him. Muscle and flesh soon followed, and finally, the full armor and weapons materialized.

In an instant, a fully formed Susanoo over a hundred meters tall stood in defense against the incoming Shinra Tensei.

But even the fully powered Susanoo, under Madara's control, couldn't withstand the overwhelming force. In a single moment, it was blasted away, crashing through countless trees before finally slamming into a distant mountain, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

When the dust settled, the remnants of Susanoo came into view, heavily damaged. Much of its armor was destroyed, and large portions of its body had been obliterated by the unstoppable force. Yet, despite this, the Susanoo was already repairing itself at an incredible speed.

Kakashi, Rin, and Obito stared at the scene in stunned silence. With just one clash, an entire forest had been laid to waste. Was this really a battle between ninja?

If seeing Alex use Susanoo had shaken Kakashi to his core, witnessing this battle between Alex and Madara made him question everything he knew about the ninja world. If this was what true ninja battles were like, then what was the point of the wars between the Five Great Nations? Was it all just child's play?

With power like this, either of them could wipe out the Five Great Nations and unify the ninja world in mere moments.

Of course, the situation wasn't as dire as Kakashi thought. While Madara had the potential to destroy the Five Great Nations, his body was too weak at this point. If he disconnected from the Gedo Statue, he would die within minutes.

Alex, on the other hand, was certainly capable of wiping out the Five Great Nations or even annihilating the entire ninja world. But he had no reason to do so. This world was merely his playground, and he sought only amusement. For now, Madara's dance was his entertainment. He had no interest in destroying the ninja world.

In addition, Alex was a special existence—a foreigner, an anomaly. He wasn't even supposed to be part of this world.

Madara's Mangekyō Sharingan spun furiously, the strain causing blood vessels in his eyes to rupture. Blood trickled down from his eye sockets, staining his face as it dripped onto the ground.

Even though the Susanoo had repaired itself, the toll on Madara's body was immense. He quickly assessed his condition: one leg had sustained a compound fracture, at least five ribs were broken, and his skull had multiple fractures. If not for the cells of Hashirama sustaining him, he would have already been dead from Alex's attack.

Though still alive, Madara had only minutes left. His life force was rapidly draining, especially since...

Madara glanced behind him. The tubes connecting him to the Gedo Statue had been ripped out during the clash, causing his life force to drop at an alarming rate.

Yet, even as he stood on the brink of death, Madara laughed boldly. "Hahaha... Amusing... very amusing..."

However, Alex wasn't in the mood to let him continue his grandstanding. With a single step, he appeared before Madara, unleashing another Shinra Tensei at close range, blasting Madara away again.

Despite the protection of the Susanoo, the immense force of the attack sent Madara flying, causing him to cough up blood repeatedly as he tumbled through the air. He looked utterly pathetic. Alex, feeling particularly playful, pulled out a camera from his pocket dimension and snapped a picture of the scene.

In the original Naruto series, even when Black Zetsu betrayed him, Madara had never looked this defeated. It was a moment worth preserving.

After pocketing the camera, Alex spoke in a mysterious tone, "I, Alex, acknowledge you as the strongest in the ninja world, but that's no excuse for your arrogance."

"And amusing? Do you think you're some kind of chosen one?"

Madara didn't understand the cultural reference Alex was making, but he could sense the mockery. Weak as he was, the legendary Uchiha still maintained his pride, bursting into laughter. "Hahaha... You're strong, but it's not enough! Come, let's dance! I will fight you with my full power, the power I had in my prime!"

"Oh?" Alex raised an eyebrow, intrigued. Madara was like a candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of burning out. What could he possibly do to fight back?

Madara shakily rose to his feet, his face pale, his skin loose and wrinkled. The once mighty Susanoo began to fade, unable to maintain its form any longer.

Then, Madara made a series of hand seals. At the same time, a White Zetsu clone emerged from the ground beneath him. With a raspy voice, Madara muttered, "Edo Tensei!"

In an instant, Madara's life force vanished, but the White Zetsu's body was suddenly enveloped in dirt and debris, slowly molding into the shape of a person.

The figure that formed before Alex's eyes was none other than a younger version of Uchiha Madara!

Alex couldn't help but be impressed. "He's summoning himself? That's a bug exploit if I've ever seen one."

Moments later, White Zetsu had completely transformed into Madara's younger form. His Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly, and soon, it evolved into the iconic violet Rinnegan, mirroring the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths.

Madara, now in his prime, assessed his new body and the nearly limitless chakra flowing through him. It only took him a few moments to fully adapt. Though this body could only unleash 80% of his full power, the infinite chakra made it nearly indistinguishable from his peak form.

Madara hadn't wanted to resort to this, but facing such a formidable opponent, he couldn't resist. At his level, finding someone to challenge him in battle had become a rarity. Since Hashirama's death, there had been no one.

"Now, let's begin the second round!" Madara declared.

Meanwhile, far from the battlefield, back at the Leaf Village's camp, ten figures suddenly appeared. Strangely, none of the surrounding ninjas noticed them—they were completely ignored.

The ten newcomers were a diverse group, six men and four women, each dressed in radically different styles. One was a large man with an eastern face, sporting a mechanical arm in a steampunk style. Another was a youth covered in cyberpunk prosthetics. There was a beautiful woman in traditional attire, carrying a sword on her back, and two others, a man and a woman, clad in skin-tight black robes wielding long katanas.

The remaining five were dressed in modern clothing, looking entirely out of place in the world of Naruto.

It was as though people from different worlds had converged here, their presence jarringly out of sync with the surroundings.

An invisible barrier surrounded them, making it impossible for anyone outside to detect their presence.

If Alex had seen the clothing styles of the man and woman in the black robes, he would have recognized them immediately. Their attire was unmistakably from the world of Bleach, the iconic Shinigami uniforms.

But as for the others—what were they?

The mix of a cultivation world, steampunk, cyberpunk, and modern aesthetics created an absurd and surreal scene. The group of ten, who had just appeared, initially lay unconscious. The first to wake was a woman dressed in traditional attire with a sword strapped to her back. At first, she looked around in confusion, but her expression quickly sharpened. She began waking the others, each dressed in different, bizarre styles.

Once the others awoke, they remained calm, clearly already familiar with their current situation. The woman in traditional clothes, referred to as Jian Ran, turned to the cyberpunk-styled youth and said, "Yiti, wake up the newcomers. We lost too many in the last world. We need to recruit replacements. Check these people."

The young man, code-named Yiti, nodded. "Understood, Captain Jian Ran."

He approached the five unconscious newcomers. As the first one stirred and opened their eyes, Yiti gave a mysterious smile. "You're the best of this batch."

While Yiti explained the basics of the Lord God's Space to the new recruits, the other four veterans continued conversing. The large man in steampunk attire was the first to open his Lord God Interface to check the mission. After reading the details, he laughed and said, "Captain Jian Ran, this mission doesn't seem too difficult. We just need to kill three Mist Village Jonin, ten Chunin, and one hundred Genin. Based on the information we bought from other teams, this should be a piece of cake."

The two others, both wearing the signature black Shinigami uniforms of the Bleach world, frowned at his overconfidence. The man of the pair cautioned, "Iron Arm, don't be careless. The Lord God never makes things that easy."

The young girl who looked to be around fifteen or sixteen, with a striking resemblance to the man, added, "Yeah, my brother is right. We've been through four different worlds, and none of them were easy."

Chastened, Iron Arm thought back to their previous missions. Each one had been a life-and-death struggle, terrifying enough to haunt them. His arrogance faded, and his expression grew serious. "You're right, Hai, Hua. I'll be more cautious this time."

Suddenly, Jian Ran sensed something and called out, "Everyone, get ready. The barrier is about to lift, and our mission is about to begin!"

Both the veterans and the newcomers stared intently at the invisible screen. They could feel the barrier gradually fading. Once it was gone, they would fully enter this world.

The moment the barrier completely vanished...

BOOM!

A massive explosion echoed from the distance, drawing the attention of both the Leaf Village camp and the ten reincarnators.

Two colossal giants, each several hundred meters tall, rose from the distant forest, clashing like gods in battle. Their strikes sent shockwaves across the landscape, obliterating vast swaths of the surrounding area.

The five newcomers, paralyzed with fear, trembled uncontrollably. The most cowardly among them, a middle-aged man, even wet himself. But even the five veterans weren't faring much better. They stared at the sight in disbelief, their souls shaken to the core.

"What the hell is this? Isn't this supposed to be a world called Naruto, rated as a two-star world? How is this even possible?" one of them exclaimed.

PS: These reincarnators have no knowledge of our world's fictional works like Naruto.

Iron Arm clenched his mechanical arm tightly and cursed, "Damn the Lord God! There's no way this is a three-star world! It's more like a four-star or even five-star level! The Lord God is trying to kill us!"

The others shared his anger and frustration. However, before they could dwell on their rage, their leader, Jian Ran, noticed something on her Lord God Interface. "Wait! Something's not right! The mission has been updated!"

"What?" The others were stunned. They had never heard of a mission being updated before.

All of them quickly opened their Lord God Interface, only to find new mission details:

---

Mission 1: Survival.

Description: Survive for one day in the Naruto world and complete the world anchor binding to return to the Lord God's Space.

Reward: 3,000 reward points and one B-rank side story.

Failure Penalty: Death!

---

Mission 2: Eliminate the Invaders.

Description: Unknown enemies have invaded the world the Lord God is about to anchor. Eliminate the unknown invaders.

Reward: 100,000 reward points and three S-rank side stories!

Failure Penalty: None!

---

"100 thousand reward points, three S-rank side stories, that's enough to boost our power by several times!" Iron Arm's eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Mission 2. It only take 50 thousand reward points to escape the Lord God Space, and with 100 thousand, he could escape twice!

Yiti adjusted his glasses thoughtfully as he reviewed the two missions. Jian Ran, noticing his expression, asked, "Yiti, what's on your mind?"

Without hesitation, Yiti replied, "Run. Run as far as we can. Mission 2 is a death trap."

Even Iron Arm, who was typically hot-headed, withdrew his enthusiasm at Yiti's words, recalling the young man's track record of accurate judgments in past missions.

Seeing the confused looks of his companions, Yiti elaborated, "The reward for Mission 1 is already far higher than what we usually receive. That alone suggests surviving in this world is much more difficult than any mission we've faced before. Mission 2, though, is pure suicide. Pay attention to the term invaders. This implies that even the all-powerful Lord God Space has enemies, and if the Lord God's enemies are involved, they're definitely not something we can handle."

"What? Even the Lord God Space has enemies?" The others, recalling the omnipotent entity that could send them to different worlds, struggled to comprehend the idea that something could challenge it.

...

Meanwhile, Alex was multitasking—controlling his energy, forming his Susanoo, battling Madara Uchiha, and studying Madara's body condition. After using Edo Tensei to reincarnate himself, Madara's power surged dramatically. Not only did he have unlimited chakra and stamina, but he also wielded a new, Rinnegan with no magatama.

His Susanoo had grown several times larger, from its original hundred meters to a size as tall as a mountain. Yet, despite Madara's exponential increase in strength, he posed no threat to Alex. The fight between them was akin to an adult toying with a child. Even if Alex stood still and let Madara attack him for decades, Madara wouldn't be able to land a single significant blow.

For Alex, this battle was just a way to amuse himself, but he also discovered that Madara's current state was similar to that of the Tailed Beasts. In his Edo Tensei form, Madara was constantly interacting with his surroundings, absorbing chakra, which explained why Edo Tensei bodies are seemingly immortal.

Using his Six Eyes, Alex closely observed Madara's chakra flow, running thousands of experiments until he finally succeeded. He created a special rune that, when placed inside any living being, allowed them to continuously interact with the surrounding energy, granting them an endless supply of power and regenerative capabilities.

This discovery excited Alex, as he realized the rune could serve as the core of his Pocket Universe!

Boom! The two giants clashed again, turning the forest into a wasteland. Both sides, Kiri and Konoha, had long noticed the disturbance, but neither dared interfere. Either side could easily wipe them out with little effort, and only Kage-level fighters could hope to influence the battle.

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya watched from a distance, observing the conflict. Minato, in shock, turned to his sensei and asked, "Teacher, was the First Hokage this powerful too?"

Jiraiya fell silent, deep in thought. Though he had great faith in the man known as the God of Shinobi, something about these two combatants felt beyond even the First Hokage's strength.

Who were they?

His silence answered Minato's question, but suddenly, Minato's eyes narrowed as he recognized a sense of familiarity with one of the combatants. The white-haired man floating within the blue Susanoo struck a chord with him. Though Minato was sure he'd never met this person before, the man's mannerisms felt oddly familiar.

Then, three figures emerged from the battleground, heading toward them. As they drew closer, Minato was stunned to see Kakashi, Rin, and Obito! Without hesitation, Minato used the Flying Thunder God technique to teleport the three to safety.

"Kakashi, why were you three there? And do you know who those two fighters are?" he asked urgently.

"Obito! He's Obito! He abandoned us... he... he left us!" Rin sobbed uncontrollably, her face full of sorrow.

Minato: "???"

Kakashi: "..."

Obito: "o(╥﹏╥)o"

"Rin, I'm the real Obito!"

...

Madara and Alex continued to battle for what felt like minutes, with Madara attempting to probe (as he believed) Alex's power. For Madara, it had been a long time since he'd experienced such a thrilling fight since Hashirama's death.

After another clash, Madara spread his arms wide and laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Mysterious Uchiha, I admit you're strong. Now, let's have a real fight! Shinra Tensei!"

As the powerful repulsion force surged toward Alex, he responded in kind, "Shinra Tensei!"

The two forces collided, but Madara's attack was instantly overwhelmed by Alex's. The repulsive force hit Madara's body, shattering parts of him. However, due to his Edo Tensei state, his body quickly regenerated.

Despite his defeat, Madara's face lit up with joy. "No wonder your Rinnegan is superior to mine, but what about this?"

Madara formed a large Chibaku Tensei and launched it into the sky. At the same time, he rushed toward Alex, aiming to use Shinra Tensei at close range to send him flying into the gravitational pull of the technique, hoping to seal him.

Madara's combat experience was extensive, and his skill exceeded even what the anime depicted. He seamlessly combined the powers of his Rinnegan, unleashing even greater strength than expected, truly living up to his title as the Devil of all Shinobi.

At this moment, Madara was undoubtedly the strongest in the ninja world—an invincible force. But he was unfortunate. He had encountered a being far beyond the confines of this world.

Alex effortlessly dodged Madara's attacks and used a space blade to sever the gravitational core of the Chibaku Tensei, stopping the technique from fully activating.

"Are you toying with me?" Madara roared. "Show me your true power! Tengai Shensei!"

As massive meteors thousands of meters in diameter hurtled toward Alex, he grinned, "Alright, Madara, did you know that Shinra Tensei represents the ultimate repulsive force? But the way you use it is far too primitive."

Raising a single finger, Alex formed a tiny white singularity at its tip. In an instant, it shot out at lightning speed, striking the incoming meteors.

Though small, the white singularity obliterated the massive meteors, reducing them to dust as the powerful force expanded throughout the entire structure of the rocks, causing them to disintegrate.

Madara, in disbelief, watched the scene unfold and demanded, "How is that possible? How did you achieve such precision?"

With a mysterious smile, Alex replied, "Madara, your control is too crude. This is what Shinra Tensei is truly capable of."

Alex's tone was serious, and his demeanor commanded such authority that it was hard not to believe him.
