Trees Chapter 347 Mere Grains of Sand, Not Even Half My Worth

To fulfill his long-devised plan, Uchiha Madara had gone so far as to seclude himself in a remote corner of the Pure Land for years.

Yet, just recently, he was abruptly pulled out of the Pure Land.

At first, Madara thought that Obito had succeeded in the plan and used the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive him.

But...

To his surprise, he found himself resurrected in the form of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Madara was furious and immediately prepared to reprimand Black Zetsu.

However, something even more unexpected happened.

A group of brats actually attempted to seal him with Ice Release, muttering strange phrases like ‘Reincarnators’, ‘Main God’, and ‘other worlds’.

At first, he intended to break free and teach these ignorant fools a lesson.

But...

These people actually revealed his meticulously crafted Infinite Tsukuyomi plan.

Madara’s interest was instantly piqued.

He decided to see what these bizarre individuals were all about.

What amused him even more was...

These people actually thought they had successfully sealed him?

‘How pathetic!’

Though Madara considered them weak, he gathered from their fragmented conversations that they were merely an advance team.

In the future, even more powerful beings will descend upon what they called the ‘Naruto World’.

Thus, Madara played along, feigning compliance while gathering information on their origins.

Frankly, it was laughable...

These fools loved discussing their plans right in front of him.

It almost made Madara lose his composure.

After some time collecting information, he roughly understood the background of these strange individuals...

They called themselves ‘Reincarnators’, travelers from other worlds.

Their goal was to complete missions assigned by the ‘Main God’.

By completing these missions, they could exchange points for abilities from various worlds.

When Madara first heard this, he nearly scoffed, ‘Since when did such insignificant creatures dare invade my world?’

But then...

He overheard them discussing how to gather the Biju, exchange them for points, and then trade those points for the Rinnegan.

At this moment, Madara was a little dumbfounded.

‘Wait…’

‘After a lifetime of meticulous planning and struggle, I had finally awakened the Rinnegan.’

‘But these weaklings only need points to redeem it?’

‘How was that fair?!’

From that moment on, Madara began scheming how to seize their so-called ‘Reincarnator Wristwatch’.

"Release!"

The Reincarnator Captain waved his hand, dissolving the frozen Madara.

Then, a teammate who had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation stepped forward, approaching Madara.

His expression was tense.

Because according to the anime...

Madara might be capable of breaking free from the Impure World Reincarnation.

But then he reconsidered, ‘The version of the technique granted by the Main God’s space was likely enhanced, making it impossible for Madara to escape.’

His confidence quickly returned.

"Captain, step aside..."

"Leave the control to me!"

The man brimmed with arrogance as he stood before Madara and shouted, "Uchiha Madara!"

"Awaken!"

Madara: "..."

‘Are these people mentally deficient?’

‘Do they not realize that after being reanimated with Impure World Reincarnation state, I’m not even unconscious?’

Sometimes, Madara truly wondered if these idiots would be the death of him.

But for the sake of obtaining their treasures...

Madara decided to humor them a little longer.

Slowly, he opened his eyes, scanning the surroundings before speaking in a cold tone.

"Impure World Reincarnation?"

"Did that Obito fail to revive me properly?"

The moment Madara spoke, the hearts of everyone present skipped a beat.

"Uchiha Madara, spin in a circle."

The man holding the control rights of the Impure World Reincarnation remained confident as he issued the command.

Madara paused slightly, then feigned confusion before obediently spinning in place.

Seeing this, the group collectively exhaled in relief, some even bursting into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

"Uchiha Madara is nothing special after all!"

"What Shinobi World’s Asura... tsk tsk..."

They roared with laughter, as if venting their earlier unease.

Meanwhile, the team member named Chen Feng walked up to the Captain and said with a smirk, "Captain, I’ll take A-Qi and Wang Tian to find Uzumaki Naruto first."

"We’ll leave this place to you."

The Captain nodded in approval and waved them off.

"Be careful."

"Got it."

Chen Feng and his teammates glanced at Madara one last time before gathering their weapons and leaving the cave.

"Uchiha Madara, we’ll help you complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan next."

The Captain stepped forward, trying to show goodwill, but there was always that one idiot who couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

"Tsk..."

"Madara isn’t even that strong."

"We should’ve just reanimated Senju Hashirama instead."

"At least he’s stronger than Madara."

Madara: “??”

‘Damn it!!’

‘What the hell is this kid talking about!?’

‘How could that guy Hasilama be better than me!?’

Madara had endured everything so far for the sake of obtaining their Reincarnator Wristwatch.

But this…

‘This brat had the nerve to bring up Hashirama’s name in front of me!?’

In an instant, Madara’s hand shot out, gripping the neck of the caster who had performed the Impure World Reincarnation.

No longer restraining his aura, his voice dripped with arrogance.

"Hmph!"

"Mere grains of sand, not even half my worth!"

Reincarnators: “???”

Crack…

With barely half his strength, Madara effortlessly snapped the man’s neck.

"What the…!?"

"Wasn’t Madara supposed to be under control!?"

The remaining three Reincarnators stumbled backward in terror.

“Damn it!!”

"We've been tricked!!"

The Captain finally realized the danger when he saw the faint smirk on Madara’s lips.

The mage among them reacted the fastest, raising his wand and shouting, "Avada Kedavra!"

A green beam shot out, but Madara was already moving.

Dodging with effortless flips and dashes, he leaped into the air, hands weaving signs at blinding speed.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Whoosh…

The entire cave was instantly engulfed in flames. The three Reincarnators shrieked as the inferno consumed them.

“Aaaaaaaa…!!”

"N-no... don’t kill me! Please…!!”

"Captain... s-save me...!"

Madara stood coldly amidst the blaze, his expression unreadable.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Madara.

The Captain, now wolverine-like claws extended from his fists, lunged straight for Madara’s back.

"Heh..."

"Child’s play."

With a disdainful smirk, Madara flipped mid-air, planting one hand on the ground before delivering a devastating kick to the man’s jaw.

In the same motion, he grabbed the captain’s arm and used his own claws to stab through his throat.

"Guh…!"

The Captain clutched his neck, gargling blood as he collapsed.

"A laughable ability."

Madara glanced at the claws.

From his teammates’ earlier chatter, he knew this man had an incredible healing factor, but his weakness was the very metal his bones were laced with.

Adamantium.

A single stab with his own weapon was all it took.

With a cold snort, Madara crouched down and tore off the corpse’s wristwatch.

Seeing the intact Reincarnator Wristwatch, Madara smiled.
