Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 71 Uchiha Madara's Plan

Two words perfectly encapsulate how love can blossom quickly:

Hero saves the damsel in distress + sharing joys and sorrows.

If these two had gone through all of this, their relationship would surely have blossomed quickly.

At first, he thought it was meaningful to do this because Tsunade was Hashirama's granddaughter. Later, he gradually realized that Tsunade's identity was special and that she was particularly suitable to lead Aokiji astray, so he became determined to do it.

If the plan goes smoothly, the two people should fall in love, and then wait two or three years for that love to solidify and deepen.

Once Aokiji experiences the most beautiful things in the world, he will take action and tear them apart with his own hands.

He will kill Tsunade.

In front of Aokiji, and because of betrayal between villages.

At that time, the heartbroken Aokiji will awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan due to a large amount of special chakra flowing into his eyes, and will completely fall into depravity, becoming one that hates the world.

Of course, to be on the safe side, he also used a psychological suggestion technique on Aokiji over the years.

The psychological suggestion technique of ninjutsu often has the drawback of being time-limited.

For example, he could directly give Tsunade a psychological suggestion that she falls in love with Aokiji, but this suggestion might disappear the next day, and Tsunade would return to her original state.

Truly advanced psychological suggestion techniques require very complicated conditions, the most important of which is that the recipient's emotions must be unstable. The more excited the recipient is, the more significant the effect will be. In this way, the effect of the technique will be twice as effective.

This is like an insurance policy he's putting in for Aokiji.

Awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan would be the perfect opportunity.

(P.S.: It would be good to patch up Obito's drastic personality change, otherwise it's a bit too far-fetched for a boss who has persisted for so many years to suddenly be persuaded by Naruto with just a few words.)

As Aokiji becomes engrossed in the power of the Kaleidoscope, he will inevitably lose his sight. At this point, the clues that he deliberately left for Aokiji will come into play.

Knowing that Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan would not cause blindness, Aokiji would definitely search for a replacement eye in order to regain his sight.

At this point, he will use the clues he deliberately left behind to let Aokiji find his eyes, replace them, and then let him see the things he left behind about Infinite Tsukuyomi.

At this point, Aokiji will become the successor to Madara Uchiha's unwavering will...

Of course, a plan is just a plan and may not be able to keep up with changes, but this is roughly the general idea.

The first step is to find an opportunity to bring those two little devils together.

So when Aokiji threw a tantrum and refused to do the two missions, Madara Uchiha, behind the scenes, manipulated Elder Itachi to put on a sour face and firmly stated: "No, your two missions are related to the prosperity of the clan, you must do them."

"No! I just want to do simple tasks like catching pets every day to make a living!" Aokiji cried, clutching his head. "I just want a peaceful life, to have a few wives. Why can't my clan leave me alone?"

"Aokiji, you're not a child anymore," Elder Itachi said in a lecturing tone. "Don't always think about what the clan can do for you, but think about what you can do for the clan."

"Well……"

"Putting aside how many benefits you've gained from being born into the Uchiha clan, the messes you've made over the years have utterly disgraced the Uchiha. The clan is very dissatisfied with your behavior and even blames me for being too lenient with you. I'm under a lot of pressure every day, so you should be a little more understanding of this old man."

Aokiji pouted, "But..."

He had received many favors from Elder Itachi, so he still had to go, but he would have to say a few words to solidify his public image.

Elder Itachi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "There's no other way."

Aokiji was taken aback.

Elder Itachi turned his back: "Come with me."

"what?"

"Let's have a go."

"Huh?" Aokiji was taken aback. "Elder Itachi, you're not planning to subdue me by force, are you?"

After saying that, he glanced at the other person, taking in his wrinkled face and thin frame as he leaned on his cane, and couldn't help but make a few teasing remarks: "Elder Itachi, please don't. You're already so old. What if you accidentally hurt your back? Wouldn't that be a terrible thing for me?"

"Are you underestimating me?"

Elder Itachi's eyes were sharp as arrows, and Aokiji felt as if he had been stabbed by a sword. He felt immense pressure and took a deep breath to calm himself down. He joked, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Despite his advanced age, his imposing presence is truly remarkable; he is indeed a man who fought his way through the Warring States period.

"Let's go."

Aokiji nodded in agreement and silently followed behind the other person. Before long, they came to a small river. The river meandered around the Hokage Rock and flowed out of the village.

This is a very secluded place, usually unknown to most people, so naturally few people come here.

Elder Itachi gripped his cane with both hands and tapped it twice on the ground, signaling the other party to make the first move.

Aokiji didn't hold back and immediately unleashed his skills, using Water Release: Water Fang Bullet to test the waters.

Elder Itachi's strength is unfathomable; he can go all out without worrying about hurting his opponent.

The river water, drawn by Aokiji's ninjutsu, formed several whirlpools, from which four jets of water shot out, heading straight for the target.

Elder Itachi grinned, using the nearby river to his advantage in an attack. This kid knows how to use the environment in battle...

However, that was all. Elder Itachi opened his crimson three-tomoe Sharingan and began fighting with it, a habit of the Uchiha clan.

Faced with water guns shooting from four different directions, he leaped into the air, narrowly dodging Aokiji's leaping attack with both hands raised high.

Aokiji missed his target but was not discouraged. He changed his hand gesture and released the Si Seal, placing both palms on the water surface formed by the missed water blast.

"Ice Release: Cliff of Broken Swords".

In an instant, an ice pillar rose from the dry ground on the water's surface, shooting straight into the sky.

Water Release can reduce chakra and increase power by utilizing nearby water, and Ice Release can achieve a similar effect by utilizing nearby water.

Moreover, the timing of this move was perfect, making it difficult for Elder Itachi, who was in mid-air, to dodge.

Elder Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a soft hum: "Not bad."

As he spoke, his hands were already in position: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."

A fireball struck the ice pillar, instantly turning it into a wisp of white mist.

Seeing Elder Itachi land perfectly, Aokiji scoffed, "So it wasn't that easy after all."

At this moment, Elder Itachi spoke up: "Aokiji, show me your full strength."

Aokiji said dejectedly, "I've already taken everything out, okay?"

"No, I mean, awaken your Sharingan."

Upon hearing this, Aokiji's wide eyes suddenly widened.
