At this moment, Madara tapped the table.
"The source of power for taijutsu is physical energy, and the source of power for genjutsu is mental energy, but whether it's taijutsu or genjutsu, neither can do without Chakra. You should understand this deeply, right?"
Shin'yu understood. Ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu are, after all, different systems of power and cannot be mixed together.

In the original timeline, the reason why Kisame's Great Shark Bullet Technique, which specializes in absorbing Chakra, lost to Might Guy's Seventh Gate of Wonder's "Morning Peacock" is precisely because of this.
Madara took a sip of tea and said, "As for that Eight Gates Release Formation, it's an extremely powerful taijutsu secret. The stronger the physical quality, the greater the power, but it requires years of cultivation."
Shin'yu nodded. He naturally understood this.
The prerequisite for cultivating the Eight Gates Release Formation is to build up strength, temper the muscles and bones, and undergo unconventional, overloaded, and beyond-the-limit long-term training.
Only in this way can the various parts of the body be trained, allowing the muscles, bones, flesh, and organs to adapt to the load they bear after opening, minimizing the damage to the body from the enormous energy released after opening.
The food was served, and the two began to eat.
It wasn't until the tea had gradually cooled that a staggering figure emerged from the end of the field of vision.
Uchiha Hikari had actually followed them all the way.
Her breathing was slightly rapid, and her pale face was flushed with an abnormal red, looking like she was just recovering from a serious illness, clearly reaching her limit.
She leaned on the door frame and walked into the store, approaching them weakly.
"Where did this beggar come from!"
Seeing her, the shop assistant immediately showed an impatient look.
Tattered clothes, messy long hair, especially being barefoot, anyone would associate her with the word "beggar."
"Go, go, go! There's no food for you here. How unlucky. If the boss sees you, he'll deduct my salary!" he drove her away unceremoniously.
Madara raised his eyes and was about to get up, but Shin'yu, who had been observing his expression for a long time, stood up first.
"She's with us." Shin'yu held down the shop assistant's shoulder, revealing a harmless smile.
Just like that, Uchiha Hikari also sat down at the dining table, staring straight at Madara, her almond eyes gleaming with anticipation, occasionally glancing at the food on the table.
"Glug glug..." Her stomach was protesting.
"Eat." Madara said indifferently.
She immediately began to gobble it down, grabbing sushi with her left hand and a chicken leg with her right, stuffing them into her mouth like a whirlwind, the bowls and chopsticks clanging.
Such a way of eating made the surrounding diners frown slightly, and they all picked up their stools and moved away a little.
What an unlucky child, how long has she been starving?
Shin'yu sighed and pushed the tea to her. Uchiha Hikari didn't stand on ceremony either, picking up the teapot and pouring it into her mouth.
"Glug glug..."
"Have you decided to join us on the road?" Madara picked up his teacup and asked softly.
Uchiha Hikari paused, her mouth stuffed full, nodded heavily, and then continued to gobble it down.
"It's subdued just like that!???"
Shin'yu revealed an admiring look, his mind spinning with unreliable thoughts, 'As expected, a handsome and aloof middle-aged man is always a surefire way to win over a little girl...'
After they had their fill, Uchiha Madara stood up, his gaze fixed on Shin'yu.
Shin'yu felt a little uneasy under his stare.
"Do you have money?" Madara's deep voice came over.
Shin'yu's throat bobbed, suddenly realizing something, "Uh, Lord Madara doesn't have any money on him?"
"You're the one who dragged me in here, I never even thought about coming here to eat and drink."
The eyes of the surrounding diners all turned over at once, Shin'yu felt embarrassed, raised his head, and asked in a low voice, "Um, do we have to... pay for our meal?"
"Do I look like a hoodlum?" Madara tilted his head, looking at him strangely.
Uchiha Hikari wiped her mouth and looked over curiously, her bright big eyes blinking, also tilting her head.
"This..." Shin'yu looked at these two people with extremely similar appearances and hairstyles, several black lines hanging down his forehead.
"Lord Madara, there's something I don't know if I should ask."
"Speak."
"The two of you, couldn't you have some kind of blood relationship?"
"Of course not, why do you ask?" Madara frowned.
"It's just that, you two look too much alike!" Shin'yu stretched out his hand, gesticulating in the air, "This hairstyle, this expression, and... this attire, even the dressing style is almost the same!"
"Really?" As soon as these words came out, one big and one small looked at him expectantly, with a hint of doubt mixed in their eyes.
"Too much!" Shin'yu nodded vigorously.
"Just a coincidence." Madara said nonchalantly, "Oh, right, find some time to get her a new set of clothes, she's attracting too much attention like this."
"Also, remember to settle the bill."
...
"From today on, the three of us are the new Uchiha clan." Madara looked at the two children in front of him and announced.
"Where are we going next?" Uchiha Hikari asked softly.
Madara looked up at the sky, his expression profound, "The ends of the earth, the whole world."
Shin'yu clutched his shriveled wallet, looked up at the sky, and looked melancholy.
Two days later, within the Land of Waterfall.
"Boom!"
Two huge arms collided fiercely, stirring up gusts of wind.
One was deep blue like the sea, the other was as black as ink, the deep and violent power was released without concealment, almost destroying everything.
Madara and Shin'yu faced each other from a distance, the two huge Susanoo stood facing each other, both having activated the first stage, the surrounding broken wood was scattered, the earth was full of ravines, a scene of devastation.
"Not bad, your speed is indeed fast." Madara folded his arms, manipulating Susanoo to throw a punch, "When I was your age, I couldn't do these things."
"Bang!"
The black Susanoo raised its arm, blocking the heavy punch. A gale howled, and black energy spread, quickly transforming into a second pair of arms that wrapped around and firmly fixed Madara's Susanoo.
Faced with the praise, Shin'yu's expression was grave. The confrontation with Madara made it impossible for him to concentrate, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
"You flatter me. I still have much to learn, Lord Madara."
...
In the dense forest, a giant waterfall hung, the rapid river water cascading down from the cliff, pouring into the downstream river channel. The water curtain spread out, stirring up thousands of water droplets.
Under the waterfall, a small figure was soaking naked in a pool of water.
A set of brand-new clothes was neatly piled on the shore.
The cool river water flowed inch by inch over her snow-white delicate body. Under the mottled shadows of the trees, her skin was smooth and delicate, exuding a warm jade-like luster.
Uchiha Hikari raised her wrist and scooped up a handful of water, pouring it over her head, feeling the coolness seeping into her scalp, and exhaled contentedly.
After being sealed for so many years, the strong earthy smell that could not be dissolved was disgusting even to herself. Today, it was finally washed away.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Outside the pool, muffled impact sounds came from time to time, and Light felt her heart trembling along with them.
She didn't care too much. After two days of getting along, she had adapted to the way she interacted with her new companions.
The two of them fought almost every day. Saying it was a fight, it was more like a confrontation training. The man controlled the extent of his attacks, training the boy to constantly improve.
"The name of that technique is... Susanoo?"
She tilted her head, her beautiful eyes bright, a hint of curiosity flashing, and a faint eagerness to try.
"Splash—"
She held up the clear pool water, watching it flow down through the gaps between her palms, the cool inch-by-inch touch climbing over her skin, her lotus arms slender and crystal clear like jade in the mottled sunlight.
"A new life... has begun."
