Chapter 1

In the seventh year of the Leaf Village.

In the Valley of the End.

The Nine-Tails, enveloped in the blue armor of Susanoo, squatted on the ground, resembling a massive mountain from a distance, exuding an overwhelming presence.

Opposite the Nine-Tails stood the equally mountainous Thousand-Handed Buddha, its imposing aura no less formidable.

Uchiha Madara, standing in a transparent diamond-shaped chamber on the Nine-Tails' forehead, had a fierce expression, his face etched with excitement and bloodlust.

On the head of the Thousand-Handed Buddha, Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, his sage-like mask and stern expression making him appear unusually solemn, a stark contrast to his usual lively demeanor.

The outcome of this battle was unpredictable!

July 1, 2021.

At a Home Inn.

Uchiha Madara suddenly opened his eyes, ignoring the flood of chaotic memories rushing into his brain. Despite the pain, he maintained a calm expression and reached out to choke the girl beside him.

"Who are you! Where is Hashirama Senju!"

The scene shifted. Hashirama Senju was attempting to initiate one last negotiation before the battle. He did not make the first move but instead used his persuasive skills to the fullest, trying to convince Uchiha Madara to return to the right path by sharing his ideals.

Meanwhile, Li Yi, standing in the transparent diamond-shaped chamber, was in a state of confusion. His excellent vision, granted by the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, allowed him to clearly see Hashirama Senju, who was incessantly talking atop the giant Buddha.

How could he face such a life-threatening situation right after a night of passion with the girl?

*Ring! Host Li Yi has officially activated the body swap system. The first phase task is to complete the current scene. The system will grant a corresponding lifespan reward based on the evaluation.*

Li Yi calmed himself and, while Hashirama Senju was still using his persuasive skills, he thought hard about his next move.

He knew he couldn't win in a fight. Madara had to sacrifice one of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to fake his death. Li Yi, who had just arrived in this world with immense power but could not fully utilize it, immediately abandoned the idea of a decisive battle with Hashirama Senju.

"I surrender! I agree with your ideals, and I realize I was wrong, terribly wrong!" Li Yi shouted, interrupting Hashirama Senju's incessant talking. "But you must agree to one condition!"

Li Yi's progress was promising. Although it went against Madara's character, his life was saved, and he didn't need to waste his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan on the forbidden technique Izanagi.

However, Uchiha Madara had a minor issue.

The pressure and suffocation on his neck, combined with Madara's murderous gaze, did not frighten the girl; instead, it made her abnormally excited.

Li Yi and the girl were both Naruto fans. They met on a forum, found each other attractive, and quickly arranged to meet in person, leading to a passionate night.

"I am... Uchiha Sasuke... Naruto... What do you want to do?"

The girl writhed, her eyes hazy as she stared at "Li Yi," unaware that Li Yi had become Uchiha Madara.

"I am Uchiha Madara! Not Naruto!" Uchiha Madara's grip tightened, but his body's reaction was honest and immediate.

At the same time, the system's prompt sounded, extinguishing Madara's desire to snap her neck.

*Ring! Host Uchiha Madara has officially activated the body swap system. The first phase task is to complete the current scene. The system will grant a corresponding lifespan reward based on the evaluation.*

Madara didn't understand what the system was, but the method of directly invading the brain with an illusionary technique alarmed him. Despite his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he couldn't resist it!

Madara's face turned red as he tried to activate his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to resist the illusion, but his vision remained unchanged, and not a single black tomoe appeared in his pupils.

...

Hashirama Senju, whose persuasive talk was interrupted, was momentarily stunned. Joy quickly spread across his face. "As long as you return, I will agree to any condition except for harming the Leaf Village or Tobirama!"

"Whenever I need it, you must provide me with your flesh and blood at the first moment!"

Li Yi's strategy was clever. Hashirama Senju's character was almost identical to Naruto's, treating Madara like Naruto treated Sasuke, with boundless tolerance.

"I agree!" Hashirama Senju voluntarily dismissed the Thousand-Handed Buddha. "As long as I am alive, I will give you whatever you need, whenever you need it!"

Li Yi followed suit, dismissing the Nine-Tails' armor and summoning it back.

Although the movements were a bit awkward and unfamiliar, Hashirama Senju, in a non-combat state, was significantly less intelligent and didn't pay much attention to these details.

Pulling out a kunai, he didn't hesitate to cut a piece of flesh from his arm and threw it to Li Yi.

In the Naruto world, everyone was indeed a werewolf. Cutting such a large piece of flesh from his arm, Hashirama Senju didn't even flinch, and the wound quickly healed without a scar.

Seeing this, Li Yi instantly understood that the original Madara wasn't defeated but exhausted to death!

The Sage Body was sometimes just that unreasonable...

*Complete the current scene, the Valley of the End battle, and receive a 10-year lifespan reward.*

*System Evaluation: One star! It can't get any lower! The host made Madara's character collapse so drastically, not only surrendering but also altering his ideals to save his life. Remember, Madara's ultimate goal is world nuclear annihilation, not world peace!*

Regardless of the system's complaints, Li Yi's life was saved, his eyes were intact, and he received a 10-year lifespan reward. Most importantly, he obtained the key item to evolve his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan into the Rinnegan!

Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara, occupying Li Yi's body in the modern world, was at a loss.

The girl, who called herself "Uchiha Sasuke," got up from the bed like a water snake when Madara released his grip on her neck, placing her hand on Madara's chest.

"You are Uchiha Madara, right? Can I tell you something from the heart? Come on, let's have some fun!"

One punch!

The girl fell back onto the bed, unconscious.

Madara, expressionless, got up and dressed. Although modern clothes seemed strange to him, they were simple and easy to wear.

There was a full-length mirror in the hotel room, and Madara was naturally drawn to the reflection. It was not his original appearance.

"Release!"

Although he couldn't use his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, there were other methods to dispel illusions. As an expert in genjutsu, the Uchiha clan had various techniques to counter different illusions.

He made the hand signs, but Madara felt no chakra in his body.

Furrowing his brow slightly, Madara, sensing no danger, sat on the floor in front of the mirror, cross-legged, and began to extract chakra.

Soon, a thread of chakra was extracted from his cells and stored in his dantian.

Madara did not stop. This amount of chakra was not enough to release a genjutsu-dispelling jutsu. He couldn't understand when Hashirama Senju had become so proficient in genjutsu.

During the chakra extraction, the girl who had been with Li Yi woke up twice but was promptly knocked out by Madara, lying unconscious on the bed.

Finally, he gathered enough chakra to release the genjutsu-dispelling jutsu. Madara made the hand signs again, but the scene around him remained unchanged.
