Chapter 167: Gathering in the Pure Land.
A clear baby's cry drowned out the sound of the rain.
"She's given birth! The lady has given birth!"
The midwife's joyful shouts came from inside the house.
"What?! She's given birth?!"
Uchiha Tajima was jolted, and ecstasy instantly overwhelmed his tense mind!
He could no longer contain himself, and he pushed open the door and rushed inside.
Manci watched this scene quietly from outside, a gentle smile slowly curving his lips. He then put his hands behind his back and looked calmly at the empty rain-soaked ground in front of him.
Unbeknownst to others, the phantom of death had silently knelt before Manji at some point.
Only ten thousand people in this world can glimpse the existence of death, while the surrounding wind and rain, and the people inside the house, are completely unaware of it.
"Sage, the souls of Uchiha Chen and Uzumaki Yu are both here with me. I know that the two are the reincarnations of those two lords, and I did not devour their souls. I have come to await your arrangements."
Death bowed his head and asked respectfully.
Wan nodded slightly, his expression calm, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Leave it to me. You may leave."
Death dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately presented two pale blue soul phantoms with both hands.
After Wanci collected the soul, the eerie phantom slowly faded and vanished into the rain without leaving a trace.
"Grandpa! Grandpa, come in and see!"
From inside came Tajima's ecstatic shouts, filled with the excitement and joy of becoming a father for the first time.
With a relieved smile on his face, Wanci slowly walked into the warm and cozy house.
Manji walked up to Tajima, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said with a tone full of emotion, "Congratulations, Tajima, you now have your own child."
Looking at Tajima, who was full of spirit and joy, Manji felt a lot of emotions.
I've watched him grow up, guiding and correcting him along the way.
Unlike the original novel, Tajima did not become cold and obsessive. Instead, he was gentle and kind-hearted, and had already embarked on a completely different life path.
Tajima was overjoyed, but he was also stunned for a moment, a barely perceptible surprise flashing through his mind: Grandpa had just stepped into the house and hadn't even gotten close to the swaddling clothes, how did he know it was a boy?
But this doubt was quickly overwhelmed by the overwhelming joy brought by the baby in his arms. He was so happy that he had no time to think about it.
He reminded her repeatedly, "It's time to name the child."
"Yes! Yes, yes, yes!"
Tajima nodded repeatedly, but the next second, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
He grew up amidst war, his mind preoccupied with ninjutsu training and the safety of his people. He had little knowledge of literature, naming, or other such matters, and racked his brains but could not come up with a suitable name.
After hesitating for a moment, Tajima scratched his head and looked at Manji with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Grandpa, I really can't think of a good name, so I'll have to trouble you to decide."
Wanci shook his head.
Turning to look at Lan Yue, who was weak but had a gentle smile on her face, he said softly, "The child's name should first respect the wishes of the child's mother."
"Yes! Yes, Lan Yue, tell me, what name do you want to give the child?"
Tajima immediately turned his head and looked at his wife excitedly.
Uchiha Arashi shook her head slightly, a helpless expression on her face: "Our Uchiha clan has been fighting for many years. We usually focus on honing our strength and practicing ninjutsu. Our cultural education is rather rudimentary, so I can't think of a good name."
"Grandpa is very knowledgeable and has a wide range of experience, so it would be most appropriate for you to choose the name."
Seeing that the two of them shared the same sentiment, Wanci chuckled helplessly, his gentle gaze falling on the tender infant in the swaddling clothes.
"In that case, let's name this child Uchiha Madara."
"Uchiha Madara! What a great name!"
Tajima was overjoyed. He hugged the baby tightly, too excited to speak, repeatedly muttering incoherently, "I have a son! I finally have a daughter!"

Ten thousand times, I returned to the Pure Land.
At this time, the Pure Land has undergone earth-shaking changes!
What was once a blank, empty, and ethereal land filled with air walls has now become a landscape of mountains and rivers, with islands floating in the air, giving it a unique kind of beauty.
"Well done, Yu Yi..."
With a thousand praises, I closed my eyes and instantly perceived the entire pure land.
This pure land is much better than the human world.
The old deceased was explaining matters of the Pure Land to the newly arrived deceased, while the newcomer hurriedly told the old deceased what was happening in the human world.
Countless newly arrived deceased saw their dead relatives, people they had never seen before in their entire lives...
Even when enemies met, the Pure Land had rules against fighting, and since everyone had died, they eventually found peace...
In the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Nobuyuki is playing Go with his deceased father and grandfather, while the newly appointed Hyuga clan leader recounts the changes within the Hyuga clan.
This situation exists among all the major ninja clans in the Pure Land.
Hyuga, Hagoromo, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Senju...
At the Pure Land Center
Hagoromo Otsutsuki was preaching, explaining his ideas and answering everyone's questions. The audience was so dense that they filled the entire square.
Even Pure Land has opened up the internet, and Yu Yi's lecture live stream has tens of millions of viewers online.
Sarutobi watched all this with a smile, as if he had returned to the time when he was Hagoromo's apprentice.
On the edge of the Pure Land
The tens of millions of criminal gangs that were previously suppressed are now expanding the area into a clean and safe land, making it bigger and bigger.
At this moment, these people felt regret, never expecting that the Sage of Six Paths really existed in the world.
Now everyone is enjoying the Pure Land, while they have to work 8 hours a day to develop the Pure Land, and can only rest for two days a week. They can only watch Pure Land Douyin videos for entertainment, watching others enjoy the scenery of the Pure Land and travel everywhere in the Pure Land.
Urashiki Otsutsuki got used to it.
Knowing he was dead, he had originally planned to escape and find a way to be resurrected.
But more than a decade later, Urashiki Otsutsuki found that staying there was actually quite nice.
So he used the money he earned from opening up the Pure Land to buy a mobile phone, and spent all his time playing various Pure Land games. All the money he earned from opening up the Pure Land was used to recharge his game account.
The same applies to ordinary people seeking the Pure Land.
The first generation of daimyo gathered together to chat about anecdotes from various countries, while ordinary people simply scrolled through Douyin (TikTok) and looked for some entertainment every day.
Here, there is no hierarchy of status; everyone is equal. The only difference is reputation, which is based entirely on seniority. The more senior you are, the more respect you receive.
"The creation of Pure Land Buddhism was very successful... I think it's better than Infinite Tsukuyomi..."
Ten thousand times I slowly opened my eyes, and the creation of the Pure Land was a great success!
Theoretically speaking, as long as one does not die, the Pure Land will not collapse, and as long as the Pure Land does not collapse, these souls will continue to live in the Pure Land.
"Next up are Hashirama, Madara, Naruto, and Sasuke. Let's wake Indra and Ashura up ahead of time so they can get used to life in the Pure Land."
The souls of Indra and Asura appeared in his hands ten thousand times.
