Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 488 The World's Biggest Black Pot

Aokiji was genuinely impressed: "You recovered really quickly."

"If you think that this is all you've got to make Madara Uchiha lose his will and waver, you're seriously underestimating me."

Madara Uchiha's eyes, reflecting a resolute light, said, "I don't care too much about deception, because this world is built on deception."

Aokiji glanced at Uchiha Madara and realized that this guy seemed to have the potential to be a poet.

Madara Uchiha continued, "Regardless of whether it's true or not, there's one thing you won't deny, right?"

Aokiji was taken aback: "What?"

"By absorbing all the tailed beasts, one can become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and then, through the Infinite Tsukuyomi, absorb human chakra to become even stronger."

"really."

"Power. As long as you have power, you can change everything." Madara Uchiha said domineeringly, "If there's a method, I'll use it; if there isn't, I'll create one."

Aokiji sighed: "You really are stubborn."

Madara Uchiha corrected him: "This is not stubbornness, this is unwavering idealism."

"Well, whatever, I'm not good at talking back anyway, and I'm not good at persuading others."

Aokiji quoted one of Naruto's classic lines.

Talk-no-jutsu?

Madara Uchiha paused for a moment, his solemn expression fading, before finally smiling: "Not good at persuading others, Aokiji, you're being far too modest."

He was almost persuaded by Aokiji.

Aokiji shrugged and suddenly said, "If you do me a favor, I'll give you a perfect alternative to Infinite Tsukuyomi."

"A perfect replacement for the Infinite Tsukuyomi?" Madara Uchiha's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled, "You really dare to say that."

"To convince someone like you, you'd have to show some real skill."

"Alright, tell me. If you have a better method, I'm naturally willing to give up the Infinite Tsukuyomi. I'll even help you eliminate the Otsutsuki clan, who might appear later." Madara Uchiha offered his bargaining chip.

Aokiji paused, then began, "The Infinite God of War..."

"Infinite Kotoamatsukami?"

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, listening with great interest as he heard this ninjutsu for the first time.

Aokiji explained, "This is a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique. The owner of these eyes is dead, and now these eyes are in my hands."

"The Kaleidoscope Sharingan?"

Madara Uchiha became even more interested upon hearing this: "It seems to be a rather powerful technique. What is its ability?"

Aokiji explained the abilities of Kotoamatsukami, and also mentioned how he used this ability to make Asuma willingly kill his father.

"How is it? This eye technique is pretty good, isn't it?" Aokiji said with a smile.

Giving the eyes to Uchiha Madara Shisui certainly wouldn't allow him to use the Infinite Kotoamatsukami, but at least it determined the direction and feasibility of his efforts.

"If that's the case, I admit this technique is indeed more powerful than Tsukuyomi."

Regardless of whether Aokiji's words were true or not, Madara Uchiha was tempted. The Infinite Kotoamatsukami was clearly superior to Tsukuyomi.

He became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, and studying those eyes might actually allow him to develop a ninjutsu like Infinite Kotoamatsukami.

"The fee you offered is quite good. The task you asked me to do must be very troublesome."

Aokiji shook his head and said casually, "It's not troublesome at all, you just need to move your fingers."

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes and watched quietly.

"You help me kill some people, and secondly, I want you to postpone the Infinite Tsukuyomi period by ten years."

"Interesting..." Madara Uchiha chuckled. "Besides me, is there anyone in this world you can't handle?"

Aokiji shook his head: "It's not that we can't handle it, but it will bring unnecessary trouble."

"Who is it?"

Aokiji said expressionlessly, "Help me kill as many rulers as possible in this world. I'll give you a list of who they are."

Madara Uchiha frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Don't think you're the only one who wants true world peace; I feel the same way."

Aokiji smiled, wanting Madara Uchiha to take the blame for him: "You have your methods, and I have mine."

Madara Uchiha was intrigued by what Aokiji said: "Tell me about it..."

"The constant wars in this world are ultimately a matter of the rulers between nations. If I unify the entire world, there will be no more wars between nations, at most only internal rebellions."

Madara Uchiha said frankly, "With the strength you currently possess, unifying the entire world shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"It's easy to conquer a country, but difficult to maintain it. Do you think the people of these countries will be grateful to me for doing such a thing? How could that be? They will only temporarily submit to the threat of force, and they will still harbor great hatred, thinking that one day they will rebel against me. Although I am not afraid, it will be very time-consuming and manpower-intensive to govern them."

"However, if one person attracts all the hatred, then this problem wouldn't exist..."

Aokiji said so much, but it wasn't until his last sentence that he truly revealed his true thoughts. Madara Uchiha understood what was going on, his sharp, narrowed eyes radiating a dangerous aura: "Can I unilaterally interpret this as you using me, right?"

Aokiji commented, "Pretty much."

Madara Uchiha laughed and scolded, "You brat, you've got some nerve."

"Isn't the quality of someone who dares to defy the world a prerequisite for achieving great things?"

Aokiji quoted Madara Uchiha's words earlier, using magic to defeat magic, and incidentally added a label: "I think someone as ambitious as you shouldn't mind bearing the hatred of the whole world for the sake of world peace."

"What does that have to do with you asking me to postpone the Infinite Tsukuyomi? Do you think you can train enough to defeat me during this time?" Madara Uchiha said disdainfully, "I admit you are very talented, but if I become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, this is not a gap that can be easily bridged by training."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Aokiji said calmly, provoking, "Are you scared?"

Don't try to provoke me.

Madara Uchiha saw through this little trick at a glance and changed the subject: "However, it's not impossible to agree to your request, as long as you hand over the eyes that house Kotoamatsukami and the Nine-Tails."

The fact that Aokiji said those words shows that he was confident, and Madara Uchiha was not unaware of this.

On one hand, he was not afraid of challenges; on the other hand, subconsciously he wanted to further confirm what Aokiji had said about the Otsutsuki.

It's their own business if their own people are causing trouble. He doesn't want the Otsutsuki clan to come and absorb all the life on this planet; that would be too far removed from his dream.

"I can give you Kotoamatsukami, but I cannot give you Kurama. Once a Jinchuriki has the Tailed Beast extracted, the Jinchuriki will die."

If some special methods were used, a Jinchuriki might not necessarily die from having the Tailed Beast extracted, but the risk would be very high. Aokiji said this on the surface, but in reality, it was to cover up the fact that he wanted Madara Uchiha to absorb the entire Nine-Tails and become a truly perfect Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Hearing Aokiji's words, Madara Uchiha didn't care about the Jinchuriki's life or death, and his attitude was tough: "Aokiji, I taught you, didn't I? Strength is the most powerful language. Do you think you have the strength to negotiate with me now?"

Aokiji countered, "Do you think I wouldn't have been prepared before stating these conditions to you?"

"..."

"I have transferred everything important to me to Obito's Kamui dimension, including Kurama (the Nine-Tails) naturally."

"..."

"To become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, you don't necessarily need to collect all the Tailed Beasts. You just need to collect most of them, and one or two of them only contain chakra. I think you should have a way."

Madara Uchiha was very unhappy, his face darkening as he was firmly under Aokiji's control: "Three years..."

"..."

"If the conditions you offer don't meet my requirements, I'll naturally have to offer a discount. And during this time, I'll also occasionally use people as nourishment to supply the Divine Tree." Uchiha Madara exerted pressure while giving a reasonable explanation: "If the Otsutsuki clan you mentioned really exists, I need to make some preparations before they arrive."

Aokiji sighed and bargained, "Alright then, but I have a condition."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha reconsidered and refused.

"If you really intend to feed people to the sacred tree, to use them as ornaments, couldn't you at least use people with serious character flaws?"

Aokiji laughed and said, "If you treat these people as ornaments on the Divine Tree, it will be easier for me to govern the world in the future."

"You really know how to take advantage of people."

"Unlike Grandpa Hashirama, forgiving and believing those people is the Grim Reaper's business. My business is to send them to the Grim Reaper."

Madara Uchiha retorted sarcastically, "You always say you're not good with words, but I think you're quite talented in that area."

Aokiji waved his hand: "How about it? This outcome is beneficial to both of us."

"Come here in a week, with those Mangekyou Sharingan eyes."

A week is enough for Madara Uchiha to capture all the tailed beasts except for the Nine-Tails and become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, and he'll also have time to adapt.

In short, he managed to calm the other party down for now... Aokiji formed a hand seal, his body turned into an ice sculpture, and he dispelled the ice clone: ​​"Then goodbye."

After Aokiji left, Madara Uchiha found the ice sculpture annoying, so he stepped forward, smashed it to pieces with a single punch, then took out the tofu skin sushi Aokiji had given him, took a small bite, and commented, "The taste is not bad..."
