Chapter 351 - 349: The Six Paths Sage who takes the blame

"Old geezer, I thought you wouldn't live to see my research results."

Si looked at Uchiha Madara, who was brought over by Zetsu and was gasping for breath just from walking.

"Si, can we begin?"

Uchiha Madara had long since become accustomed to Si's sharp tongue. No, it wasn't so much being accustomed as it was having developed a resistance; he could automatically filter out the meaning she wanted to express from those words.

"Tsk... how boring you are!"

Si didn't see the reaction she wanted and felt a bit bored. She opened the cold storage box and took out the test tube.

"This is the life-extending serum made from Hashirama cells."

Si pointed to a cultivation tank on the side and said, "Old geezer, take off your clothes and get in."

"Can I keep my underwear on?"

Uchiha Madara's old face turned red upon hearing this. Even though he had reached this point, he didn't want to be naked in front of a woman.

"Who would want to look at your skinny, half-buried body anyway?"

Si waved her hand dismissively, signaling Uchiha Madara to hurry up and get into the cultivation tank.

Uchiha Madara took off his outer clothes, leaving his withered body in just a pair of underwear.

"It might hurt a little bit; that shouldn't be much to you, right?"

Si controlled the cultivation tank, injecting the serum made from Hashirama cells into Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara felt pain all over his body, as if it were about to explode. He clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the pain.

Soon, the cultivation fluid submerged his body. The pain lessened somewhat, but he still felt as if his body were being crushed and restructured.

Time passed minute by minute, and the cultivation fluid was changed again and again.

White hair turned back to black. Uchiha Madara became much younger, changing from an old man about to die of old age to a middle-aged man around fifty years old, and his body changed from withered to robust.

Uchiha Madara felt the changes in his body, and a look of wild joy appeared on his face.

He had thought it would be good enough to just extend his life; he never imagined that Si's research results would not only extend his life but also make him younger.

Black Zetsu watched Uchiha Madara's transformation, constantly praying for the experiment to fail. However, the serum still took effect on Uchiha Madara's body.

The cultivation tank opened, and Uchiha Madara stepped out of it one step at a time. He hadn't felt such a vibrant body in a long time.

He, who had previously found even walking difficult, had become young once again.

Although he hadn't returned to his prime, it was still quite good.

"Old geezer, how do you feel?"

Si sized up Uchiha Madara. She wasn't very satisfied with the effect of the serum on Uchiha Madara; it was a rather low-quality serum. If she hadn't wanted to avoid making Uchiha Madara too young, she could have even restored him to his peak.

In the current Ninja World, that would truly be a Susanoo Gundam opening up and sweeping through everything; basically, no one could take a single strike from him, not even the Third Raikage.

"Excellent!"

Uchiha Madara looked at his hand clenched into a fist, feeling his current strength.

"Si, I think we can begin the plan!"

Uchiha Madara wanted to collect the Tailed Beasts and implement the Eye of the Moon Plan.

"Before implementing the Eye of the Moon Plan, do you want to see my new discovery? A discovery within the flesh and blood of the Gedo Statue."

Si said unhurriedly, neither agreeing with Uchiha Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan nor rejecting it.

"What?"

Uchiha Madara waited for Ran Do to present her new discovery.

"I found cells of a mythological being within the flesh of the Gedo Statue."

"Mythological…"

Uchiha Madara's expression changed, his eyes fixed on Ran Do.

"Are you saying…?"

"Don't worry, it's not the Six Paths Sage's cells, but the cells of a being revered as the Rabbit Goddess long, long ago, before Ninja even existed."

Ran Do guessed what Uchiha Madara was thinking from his expression. As she manipulated the instruments, a cultivation tank slowly rose from the ground. Inside it were the unadulterated, original cells of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

"Rabbit Goddess?"

Uchiha Madara frowned slightly. This was the first time he had heard of this Rabbit Goddess.

"The Rabbit Goddess has another identity: she is the mother of the Six Paths Sage."

Ran Do pointed at the cells in the cultivation tank.

"What?!"

Uchiha Madara's face showed shock as he looked at the cells in the cultivation tank.

"Old man, do you understand what this means?"

Ran Do's face revealed a mysterious smile.

Uchiha Madara urged, "Ran Do, what exactly have you discovered? I don't like riddles!"

"The Rabbit Goddess, mother of the Six Paths Sage, exists within the Gedo Statue. The Gedo Statue is also a necessary component for implementing the Eye of the Moon Plan, and it needs to absorb all the Tailed Beasts…"
