From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 126 Winter is coming
The biting wind howled like a wild beast, carrying down heavy snowflakes.

The Death Forest, a remote and untouched place, is covered in snow. From a distance, it appears as a pristine, silver-clad landscape.

After confirming that he was not being followed, Uchiha Muneki, alone, walked straight into the Forest of Death.

Following the familiar path, he arrived at the depths of the Kurama clan's forbidden area, where Hei Zetsu was already waiting. Upon seeing him, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said very respectfully, "Lord Zongyue, welcome back. Lord Ban has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

"Ah."

Uchiha Muneki nodded indifferently, then walked right past Black Zetsu.

"Lord Zongyue, I won't go in. I'll stay outside and keep watch so I can notify you immediately if any fools try to sneak in." Black Zetsu wasn't annoyed at all, clearly not caring about such a small matter. His body slowly blended into the snow, as if he had never been there.

Nearly two months later, he saw Madara Uchiha again.

However, this time Madara Uchiha was clearly much older, and he could only rely on the pipes behind him to sustain his life, which was like a candle flickering in the wind and could be extinguished at any moment.

"Ahem. You've arrived?"

Madara Uchiha lifted his eyelids, looking extremely tired and listless.

"Why did you suddenly call me here?" Uchiha Muneki frowned, looking impatient, and said coldly, "You should have said that we should reduce our meetings unless necessary. After all, this is Konoha, and we might be discovered by the Third Hokage."

"I know"

Madara Uchiha leaned back in his chair, a glint of light flashing in the depths of his sunken pupils: "This time, I have something to discuss with you."

With each word he spoke, his thin, bony chest would rise and fall several times, making one worry that the old man might suddenly pass away.

"What is it?" Uchiha Muneki asked.

"You did a good job this time, cough cough. It seems I can rest assured that I'm entrusting the 'Eye of the Moon' project to you."

Madara Uchiha took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then continued, "The reason I've called you here is to formally entrust you, Munezuki, with the three most important 'techniques' in the 'Eye of the Moon' plan."

"Entrust it to me?"

Uchiha Munetsuki feigned surprise at first, then seemed to realize something: "You can't hold on any longer?!"

“It’s not that we can’t hold on any longer.” Madara Uchiha shook his head and said calmly, “It’s just that I feel there’s no need to drag this out any longer. Besides, White Zetsu has already told me that your performance is outstanding. What we lack now is just time and the right opportunity.”

"And what about you?" Uchiha Muneki asked again.

"It's time for me to leave here."

Madara Uchiha showed no fear of death, his expression calm and composed. He said, "You don't need me to teach you anything more. Staying here is just a meaningless waste of time. You might as well use the last bit of time you have left to lay the groundwork for the future."

"I understand."

Uchiha Muneki nodded slightly and said indifferently, "I will continue to lie low and wait for the right opportunity."

"Black Zetsu, I will take him with me." Madara Uchiha coughed heavily a few more times, blood trickling from the corner of his lips. His face grew increasingly pale and weak as he gasped for breath, "But I will leave White Zetsu with you. After I die, Black Zetsu will come to find you and assist you in completing the 'Eye of the Moon' plan!"

"Okay, is there any more?"

Uchiha Muneki asked calmly.

After a moment of silence, Madara Uchiha seemed to have thought of something, and black tomoe appeared in his blood-red eyes.

He stared intently at Uchiha Muneki, the magatama slowly rotating, and his tone became slightly more serious: "Remember, never go to extremes. The Eye of the Moon is for the happiness of the ninja world, not a tool to eliminate ninjas. Never let our hard work go to waste, Muneki!"

Uchiha Muneki's expression froze, his pupils lost focus, and he subconsciously repeated, "Yes, don't be too extreme, I'll remember."

"Great, then I'm relieved."

Madara Uchiha, who had subtly given the hint, finally felt relieved.

He feared that after his death, no one would be able to control Uchiha Munegetsu, and that this guy would lead the Eye of the Moon Project into unpredictable madness according to his extreme ideas.

Then, Madara Uchiha, completely relieved, taught him the three crucial techniques in the Eye of the Moon plan.

Summoning Jutsu - Gedo Statue!

Forbidden Technique: Impure World Reincarnation! Forbidden Technique: Samsara of Rebirth!

Mastering these three ninjutsu will ensure that even in the worst-case scenario, Uchiha Muneki can be resurrected as a dead man.

Madara Uchiha was confident that even in his reanimated form, no one in the entire ninja world could rival him.

Without Hashirama's intervention, who can rival him?
"cough cough, cough cough"

After teaching him the technique, Madara Uchiha waved his hand weakly and said, "You can go now. I hope that when we meet again, I will be resurrected in another form."

"Perhaps, by the time you are resurrected, the Eye of the Moon Project will be just one step away from completion."

Uchiha Muneki put away the three scrolls, said something with a playful expression, and then turned and left.

Watching his departing figure, Madara Uchiha's eyes were filled with a strange feeling. For some reason, he felt uneasy, but he couldn't find the problem when he thought about it carefully.

Those controlled by Kotoamatsukami could never be aware of this thought. Madara Uchiha forcibly suppressed his unease, leaned back gently in his chair, pinched his brow, slowly closed his eyes, and muttered to himself, "Uchiha Munezuki, my choice wasn't wrong, was it?"

Returning home from the Forest of Death.

Uchiha Muneki slowly sat down, a smile on his face, and took out a parchment notebook from his robes.

It was the extraordinary item that the system rewarded after completing the mission: 'Lemanor's Travel Notes'!
When users witness an extraordinary ability, they can record it and fix it on a page for long-term preservation, which can be used when needed, but only once.

Opening the parchment notebook, a line of writing slowly emerges on the blank page.

Recorded: Eye Technique - Kotoamatsukami.

Effect: It can directly invade the other person's brain and forcibly modify their consciousness.

"What a pity, if I weren't an 'audience member,' I might really have been controlled by you~"

Uchiha Muneki rested one hand on his chin, examining the contents of the notebook with amusement, while his left index finger gently turned the page.

Lemano's travel notes were filled with pages of ninjutsu.

Recorded: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet

Recorded: Water Release: Exploding Water Wave
Recorded: Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique
Recorded: Water Release: Water Release: Raging Tornado
Recorded: Water Release: Exploding Dragon Wave
Recorded: Tailed Beast Ball (Three-Tails)

The trip to Kirigakure was truly fruitful.

Speaking of this, we have to thank the Third Mizukage for his gift. If it weren't for him, where would we get so many advanced water-style ninjutsu?

White Zetsu slowly emerged from the wall beside him, looked at him and said, "Lord Zongyue, I have done everything you asked me to do without being discovered by anyone. Soon, Minato Namikaze's group will run head-on into the AB brothers of Kumogakure, hehehe."

"Well done, White Zetsu."

Uchiha Muneki made no attempt to hide anything, continuing to turn the pages of his book.

After advancing to Dream Walker, he had already completely transformed this White Zetsu, inside and out, into a shape that belonged only to him.

In other words, to some extent, after he advances to demigod status in the future, he could create a false personality, implant it into the mind of this White Zetsu, and transform it into his own 'avatar'.

"Lord Zongyue, there's something I don't quite understand~"

White Zetsu asked curiously, "Why did you specifically arrange for the Kumogakure brothers, AB, to receive the same mission as Minato Namikaze's group?"

"War always needs a reason, doesn't it?"

The opened pages were closed again, and Uchiha Muneki, with a faint smile, said meaningfully, "In that case, I shall light this fuse."

Minato Namikaze was perfectly suited to act as the so-called 'trigger'!
A Jonin directly under the Hokage's command, the most promising successor to the Hokage, was nearly killed in battle after being ambushed by multiple forces during a mission.

It's enough to stir up the fragile relationships in the ninja world that have already reached a critical point, and it will instantly trigger a series of chain reactions!

Just like Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, who were assassinated in the Sarajevo assassination.
