In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

What if I let down my teacher Liszt's expectations?

Unbeknownst to them, in a distant other world, Lister suddenly froze and stopped, only to have his head smashed by Muzan's punch.

When the two appeared in the clearing of the red maple forest, Lister, who was stunned, opened the system panel again to confirm whether what he had just heard was a hallucination.

The system panel displayed—

[Congratulations on gaining Madara Uchiha's complete approval, unlocking the new achievement "The Ideal Approved by Madara Uchiha".]

[Achievement Reward: You can build a ninja village within your territory. Ninjas enrolled in the village will receive a 100% bonus to their training. Ninjas in the village will be more likely to admire you and possess a stronger will to endure.]

Did his plan succeed? Or even yield an unexpected bonus?!

Chapter 51 People Who Pursue Their Ideals Together

Yahiko and Konan felt they had messed up, so they both lowered their heads and were dejected.

However, Black Zetsu keenly sensed Madara's dazed state of mind.

He's completely at his wit's end.

What happened at a time and in a place unknown to him caused such a drastic change in Madara!

Why would Ban, who had always steadfastly followed the path he had set, hesitate?

What is he hesitating about? What is he lost in thought about? What is he thinking right now?

All of these Black Zetsu want to know.

Because he's the one who cares about Ban the most!

As a weak man, he could only influence Madara through words. How could he treat him effectively if he didn't understand what had happened?

hateful! hateful! hateful!

The impact those two brats had on Madara far exceeded his expectations!

What is Madara thinking at this moment?

Actually, Ban wasn't thinking anything; he just felt a sense of resonance.

A shared resonance of striving bravely towards an ideal.

If Yahiko and Konan had only mentioned that Lister was so concerned about the affairs of the ninja world out of gratitude for being saved, Madara would have suspected that Lister might be trying to do something, such as obtaining resources from the ninja world.

But the two of them also talked about their ideals.

In Madara's heart, ideals are extremely pure; he is willing to give everything for them.

Silently waiting in the darkness, giving all my time, falling into darkness, toying with the fates of others, even if it means being at odds with everyone, I will still activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Ask yourself honestly...

If someone had saved Izuna when he was still alive, thus preserving his ideals, he would be extremely grateful to that person.

If someone had approached him in Konoha, pointed him in the right direction, helped him gain the understanding of his clan and villagers, and saved his ideals, he would have been very grateful to that person.

But no.

Nothing at all.

Aside from Hashirama's willingness to sacrifice his life for their shared ideals, he saw nothing else.

Even later, Hashirama's ideals and his own ideals diverged.

Then Madara was plunged into endless darkness where only he was emitting light.

Now, Ban felt a sense of empathy and resonance.

If he were Liszt, he would also be especially grateful to the person who saved his ideals.

Moreover, Liszt's ideals were very much to his liking; otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted Liszt to teach Yahiko and Minami.

That phrase, "I seize every minute," truly resonated with him.

Now Ban believed one thing: Lister genuinely wanted to help him.

Because this is a token of gratitude and support among those who pursue their ideals.

Therefore, after the resonance, Ban once again began to think about Liszt's "Holy Land Project".

Since the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan and the Ninja World Holy Land Plan can be carried out simultaneously, it's not unreasonable to seriously implement the latter.

Now that he is old and can only rely on the Gedo Mazo to survive in the ninja world, let's place our hopes on Yahiko, Konan and the others.

With Liszt around, they might actually be able to do what he had never been able to do before.

Madara Uchiha, who had been thinking with his eyes closed, opened them again.

"Go to Red Maple Territory."

"Since you can get the best treatment there, then you can train there from now on."

"I will take you to the Land of Rain when you need real combat experience."

"Yes!" x2

Madara then created a Wood Release clone that could move freely, and then grabbed Yahiko and Konan, disappearing from the spot.

What the hell!

Why is it like this again?!

If Madara's Wood Release clones hadn't been there, Black Zetsu would have jumped out and sniffed around the spot where they left to find their location.

Where is Hongfengling?

Does this place exist in the ninja world?

Can you guys give me some hints?!

Black Zetsu screamed inwardly, but of course no one could hear him.

……

On the other side, the Red Maple Forest Villa District.

Lister was in a state of ecstasy, while Muzan beside him narrowed his eyes.

After observing him almost constantly for several days, she discovered that Lister would often drift off into a daze for no apparent reason, then become very happy, and even display abilities she had never seen before.

Therefore, she strongly suspected that Lister, as an administrator, could obtain benefits from the world's rules that they were unaware of.

This made her even more wary of Liszt.

They all have to act within the rules. If there's only one person who doesn't have to follow the rules, and is even receiving help from them, how can they possibly win?

Therefore, Muzan is not in a good mood right now, and his mind is in turmoil.

On the contrary, Lister was excitedly planning to establish a ninja village in Red Maple Territory.

A 100% effect bonus means that the training efficiency of ninjas can be increased by a full 100%!

He was also planning to establish a ninja unit to gather intelligence, so wasn't this perfect?

His maids could also be registered in the ninja village, so he would have super-strong ninja maids who were both capable and efficient.

And most importantly, this achievement represents one thing.

That means Madara truly acknowledged him!

Does this mean that Madara's attitude towards him has changed? Does it mean that he has more room to talk with Madara?

I really want to try it right away!

However, if my attitude changes drastically, I'll be suspected.

It's probably better to just let things take their course.

Lister's face alternated between happiness and sorrow, leaving Muzan bewildered. He simply asked directly.

"Are you still going to practice or not?!"

"practice!"

As soon as they finished speaking, three people suddenly appeared three meters away from the two of them. They were Uchiha Madara, Yahiko, and Konan.

Then, Muzan subconsciously stood behind Lister.

The aftereffects of the abuse I suffered back then are still there.

"Professor Liszt!" x2

Yahiko and Konan were both a little anxious. They really wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Lister as soon as possible. What if they messed things up?

The woman with the age spots walked up to Lister, glanced at Muzan hiding in the shadows behind Lister, and then stopped observing her.

Three seconds later, Ban said nothing, so Lister spoke first.

"Mr. Ban, the villa was furnished a few days ago, and you are welcome to stay here anytime."

Ban nodded slowly.

"Take me to see it. I plan to train them here until they need real combat experience."

"No problem at all."

Lister responded with a smile, then spoke to Muzan behind him.

"Let's treat Yahiko and Konan, just follow the established standards."

Muzan stared at Madara with trepidation, and the next second he appeared behind Yahiko and Konan, inserting his index fingers into the back of their necks.

Although it wasn't the first time, the two still felt extremely uncomfortable psychologically.

Although the process was not painful at all...

Afterwards, Lister took Ban to a villa and arranged for his maids to prepare each meal.

There were no unexpected or unusual events along the way.

Ban still rarely spoke, but Lister could sense that his icy heart had melted a little.

Perhaps one day in the future, he will see Madara Uchiha regain his sincerity and find "love" again.
