Before Uchiha Madara entered the dungeon, the leader of Takigakure, Suiren, had already arrived.
He looked at Bubble—the young girl who was still just a child—and made a painful decision.
"Sorry, Bubble. This is your mission as a Jinchūriki."
The moment Uchiha Madara stepped into the dungeon, Suiren suddenly pressed his palm against Bubble's stomach.
The dark-skinned little girl didn't understand what was happening. She simply blinked, standing there obediently.
In the next second, a terrifying aura burst through the entire dungeon.
A massive wave of Tailed Beast Chakra erupted from her body, engulfing the underground space.
The moment the seal was released, Bubble's fragile consciousness was immediately swallowed by the Tailed Beast inside her.
Seven massive tails—like wings—grew from her back.
"Another one using a Jinchūriki as a tool?"
A look of disgust flashed across Uchiha Madara's face.
Suiren glanced at the now-transformed Jinchūriki, then at Madara who had broken into the dungeon, and laughed madly.
"Let's see who survives this dog-eat-dog fight!"
In his mind, no matter how strong the intruder was, there was no way he could defeat the power of the Seven Tails.
The seven tails behind Bubble lashed out violently, and the violent air current surged toward Madara like a tornado.
But Madara remained calm.
It was as if the monster before him was just a bug.
Susanoo raised its enormous arm, and the glowing blue lightsaber slashed down, tearing apart the incoming storm with ease.
Crimson Tailed Beast Chakra wrapped around Bubble's body as it expanded in size.
Insect-like legs stretched out from her torso.
If this continued, the full form of the Seven Tails would soon be released.
And Bubble's consciousness would be completely consumed.
Her young body was absolutely incapable of withstanding the power of a fully unleashed Tailed Beast.
If the transformation were completed, even if the beast was re-sealed, her body would suffer irreversible damage.
Once again—these people were simply using her like a weapon.
Uchiha Madara sighed.
The air around Susanoo rippled.
A face on its chest opened its eyes—it had entered Sage Mode.
With this power, Susanoo instantly advanced to its fourth form.
The majestic Daitengu armor wrapped around the colossal titan.
Its massive body crushed what was left of the dungeon beneath it.
The faint blue glow reflected off Suiren's stunned face.
What kind of monstrous power is this...
Under Madara's control, Susanoo extended both arms and grabbed the expanding Bubble.
The scene was like a towering giant gently pinching a kitten.
Seven Tails thrashed violently, unleashing sharp, furious screeches.
But Madara remained unaffected.
Desperate, the Seven Tails opened its mouth and fired a cloud of glowing phosphorous powder.
The shattered dungeon was immediately engulfed in a haze of toxins and glittering particles.
These powders were meant to hide its presence and disrupt enemy perception.
But that meant nothing to Madara.
The phosphorous powder was blocked entirely by Susanoo's protection.
Even its ability to mask Chakra signatures was useless against Madara, who had also mastered Observation Haki.
Within the golden mist, a red glow suddenly appeared.
The Sharingan—three tomoe—shone brightly before the Tailed Beast's eyes.
A powerful wave of pupil force surged forth, crashing into the Seven Tails' consciousness like a tidal wave.
In less than a second, the once-frenzied beast abruptly quieted.
Its chakra receded like a tide, retreating obediently into Bubble's body.
If not for the ruined walls and the towering blue titan clad in Daitengu armor…
…it would've seemed like nothing had ever happened at all.
Uchiha Madara swung his lightsaber, scattering the surrounding phosphor powder.
Suiren, the pale-faced leader of Takigakure, was revealed.
What a joke.
That was a Tailed Beast!
How could it be suppressed within seconds of direct contact?
Uchiha Madara—or rather, Simu—had no intention of playing around with these people.
With a single slash, he cut down!
Suiren had no power to resist and immediately tried to flee from Madara's devastating attack.
But just as he turned to run, Madara's pupils transformed into a Three Tomoe Sharingan.
With his powerful eye technique, controlling the leader of this minor shinobi village was child's play.
"Where is the Hero Water?"
This was the second reason Simu came to Takigakure—to obtain the legendary Hero Water, which could amplify a ninja's chakra tenfold.
As Takigakure's leader, Suiren naturally knew the secret.
Under the control of the Sharingan, he soon led Uchiha Madara to the sacred tree deep within the village.
This sacred tree only condensed a portion of the Hero Water once every hundred years.
Now, that Hero Water belonged to Uchiha Madara.
After getting what he came for, Madara didn't hesitate—he gave Suiren a swift and painless death.
Then, he brought the Seven Tails' Jinchūriki, Bubble, back to Konoha.
By the time the rest of Takigakure's shinobi arrived, all that remained beneath the holy tree was Suiren's corpse.
In the next second, a new round of infighting broke out among Takigakure's ninjas.
"That just leaves Sunagakure's One-Tail and Kumogakure's Eight-Tails," Simu muttered, rubbing his chin.
He wasn't too worried about those two.
Sooner or later, the Three Great Nations' alliance would go to war. There was no way they would leave the Tailed Beasts alone. When the dust settled, Simu would simply sweep in and take everything.
But more than the threats of the Great Powers, there was someone Simu was more concerned about—Cixian.
A living weapon in the style of the Ōtsutsuki.
If Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was allowed to return to full strength, it would spell disaster for the entire world.
Just as he was thinking, someone exited the research lab.
"Teacher, the prototype has been debugged."
Simu's eyes lit up. "Let's go take a look."
He walked into the lab alongside Lin.
More than a dozen enormous containment vessels stood before them.
Simu pressed a green button, and the containers opened simultaneously—revealing the massive superweapons hidden inside.
Each one stood over seven meters tall, dressed in black, with curly hair and a comically cute bear hat...
They were Pacifistas—one of the most iconic inventions and military assets from the One Piece world.
Simu had obtained a new item: [Pacifista Blueprint] at 30% Doubly Punk imitation.
By integrating the Bloodline Factor theory, he had finally succeeded in manufacturing them.
"Activate them," Simu ordered softly.
The Pacifista in front of him opened its eyes.
A light flickered in its pupils as it locked onto Simu.
"Face recognition complete. Authority confirmed. Creator: highest access level."
As the creator, Simu naturally held absolute command.
Seeing this, Simu smirked.
These machines were bound to give the Three Nations Alliance a devastating surprise on the battlefield.
Even Lin looked at the towering weapons with awe.
In her eyes, Simu's figure grew even taller—like a true giant.
Not only had he mastered techniques no one had heard of, but his mastery of science and technology was on a whole other level...
Industrial systems, scientific ninja tools, railways, high-speed trains—and now, he'd broken through the limits of the era to create these terrifying weapons of war.
Simu turned to see Lin frozen in amazement, and chuckled. He reached out and gently rubbed her head.
"Come on, let's test the power of these big guys."
Under the Fourth Hokage's orders, the Forest of Death was sealed off by Konoha's Anbu.
Shikaku Nara arrived to oversee the operation.
Minato, Tsunade, and Dan Kato were stationed at the front lines, while Kakashi and Obito were carrying out field operations.
That left Jiraiya—who was currently overseeing intelligence—as the only remaining top-tier force inside the village.
Naturally, Simu dragged him over as a test subject.
Jiraiya wasn't unfamiliar with this.
For over a year now, Simu had been unveiling wave after wave of new weapons and technologies.
Every test had involved him, Tsunade, Minato, Kakashi, or Obito.
Whoever happened to be in the village would be dragged in.
"What kind of crazy thing have you come up with this time?" Jiraiya asked, frowning at his proud disciple.
Since the Third Hokage had retired and gone into seclusion, all of Konoha had come under Simu's control.
Even the notoriously rebellious Uchiha clan had obediently followed Simu's rule.
After all, their new patriarch, Uchiha Fugaku, was one of Simu's staunchest supporters.
With leadership like that, who among them dared oppose?
Simu's grip on Konoha surpassed even that of the Second Hokage—or maybe even the First.
Facing his teacher's skepticism, Simu simply scratched his head and smiled.
"Come on out, Pacifistas."
At his command, the covers were pulled back.
The towering bodies of the Pacifistas were revealed.
Most ninjas stood at normal height—but these seven-meter giants exuded a suffocating sense of pressure.
The Pacifistas' eyes lit up.
"These guys are my opponents?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow.
Simu nodded, warning, "Don't take them lightly."
After being repeatedly humbled by Simu's scientific ninja tools, Jiraiya had long dropped any arrogance. He took the test in front of him very seriously.
