Chapter 319 Old Man Barehead Gets Stabbed by Black Zetsu

In conclusion, Hashirama is a typical shonen manga character who understands unity, believes in truth, goodness, and beauty, and takes a long-term, forward-looking approach to the cause of peace.

Conversely, Madara is a ruthless individual who is forced to be unable to unite, and who sees everything around him as disgusting and in need of purification.

Knowing he wouldn't live to see world peace, he was eager to rely on the route indicated by the stone tablet to achieve peace quickly, highlighting his domineering ambition to defy fate.

Of course, when these two clash over their peace ideals, whoever has the bigger fist is considered right, regardless of who's the older or younger brother.

However, Madara's hasty and unorthodox methods are prone to failure.

Compared to Hashirama's enduring fame, Madara Uchiha is like an old, solitary hero; his line, "I love you, I walk alone through dark alleys; I love you, I will not kneel," is somewhat fitting.

At this point, the character's motivation and purpose are clear. However, the author's hasty and overly dramatic actions have turned what was once a fitting lyric into, "Loving you alone in the dark alley." Seriously, what a load of crap!

[Old Spotted Head, a lone hero, failed and became a complete idiot.]

"Madara? Why do you suddenly want to become Hokage?"

At this moment, some images from World War IV began to flash on the screen.

While looking at the light screen, Tobirama was still thinking about Madara's desire to become Hokage.

Hashirama on the side was much more straightforward than Tobirama. Why waste so many brain cells trying to do something?

The person involved is right there; just ask them directly.

"Of course, it's to realize my ideals."

"Huh? Isn't your ideal Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

Whether out of foolishness or on purpose, Hashirama's words were utterly scathing and directly attacked Madara.

From the moment the light screen appeared, Ban's complexion remained rather unpleasant.

Hearing Hashirama's taunting words, his already unpleasant expression turned even more grim.

"I know Infinite Tsukuyomi is obviously a trap, so why did I still fall into it?"

"So you've set your sights on the Hokage position?"

"Yes."

Seeing Hashirama and Madara chatting so enthusiastically, Tobirama chimed in, asking, "So, once you become Hokage, how will you realize your dream?"

Madara glanced at Tobirama and replied straightforwardly, "I don't know."

"Huh? You actually say you don't know?"

"How novel! I only thought of becoming Hokage on a whim; how could I possibly come up with other ways to achieve peace so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama shook his head.

He thought that Madara had come up with a good way to achieve peace, which was why he wanted to become Hokage.

If things go smoothly, Tobirama wouldn't mind stepping down.

But Madara is indeed a bit unreliable; he actually wants to take the Hokage position first and then figure out a way to deal with it.

Then Tobirama wouldn't give up the Hokage position.

Ban hadn't figured out a way to achieve peace, but he had one here.

Once the threat posed by Black Zetsu is dealt with, he will immediately launch his plan to unify the ninja world.

"Since you haven't figured out how to achieve your dream yet, why not listen to my thoughts?"

"Oh? What are your thoughts?"

"Big brother, why don't you talk to Madara about it?"

"OK."

Next, Hashirama started chatting with Madara.

Tobirama, on the other hand, focused all his energy on watching the light screen.

So where does the problem lie?

[Letting Madara win and trapping everyone in the Infinite Tsukuyomi ending is a fundamental principle unsuitable for shonen manga.]

However, from Madara's own perspective, there's basically nothing wrong with it.

Naruto can't talk him out of it, and Sasuke can't kill him with a beating.

[Old Man Bartholomew is indeed extreme, perhaps representing a different direction from the author's intended concept of peace, which is why he overlooked just how many plot holes there are in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.]

Later on, as the author gradually realized the problem, they should have come up with a way to smooth things over.

So how exactly should we resolve this ridiculous Infinite Tsukuyomi situation?

[Sigh~ The author suddenly came up with a really brainless method: create a common enemy.]

[Thus, the end of the Infinite Tsukuyomi became a scheme orchestrated by Black Zetsu to save his mother, Kaguya, and even a ritual to summon Kaguya like a mechanical deity.]

[At this point, we can take a look at Kaguya's background. She's both an alien bandit and an invader and colonizer of the ninja world. This kind of terrible character setting makes it easy for the protagonist group to take advantage of her.]

[At the same time, it would also be a good opportunity to let the invincible Madara watch his dreams being trampled and then make a miserable exit.]

On the screen, Black Zetsu controlled Obito's body and came behind Madara. Then, suddenly, Black Zetsu stabbed Madara through the heart.

Just then, Madara, who was under the light screen, had already heard what Hashirama had to say and knew that Tobirama wanted to unify the ninja world.

Before he could even be surprised, he saw the scene of himself being stabbed by Black Zetsu.

That was absolutely explosive.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it~ Black Zetsu is a real damn bastard."

The man with the spotted gait jumped up and down.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

He never dreamed that his final fate would be to be stabbed to death by what he believed to be the embodiment of will.

This is unacceptable.

"The light screen said that Black Zetsu is the son of that woman named Kaguya. As a son, it is not wrong for it to want to save its mother."

"Its mistake was that it chose to be an enemy of all of us in order to save its mother."

From their respective perspectives, neither of them is wrong.

Black Zetsu wants to save his mother, but Konoha is determined to stop him.

Because the light screen revealed that Kaguya was an alien, not a native of the ninja world.

The terms "invader" and "colonizer" also indicate that Kaguya was not a good person.

Since she's not a good person, it's better not to let her be saved.

"My brother died just like that?"

In the Third Hokage's timeline, Izuna couldn't believe his eyes.

His powerful and invincible elder brother was stabbed to death from behind so easily?

The death was so hasty and frustrating.

"I never expected Black Zetsu to be Kaguya's son. Now, his motives make perfect sense."

If we were to ask who among everyone present understood Black Zetsu the most, it would undoubtedly be Obito, who had spent many years with Black Zetsu.

However, his understanding of Black Zetsu was only superficial.

Only through the light curtain can one understand the true nature of Black Zetsu.

"I wonder what Madara would think if he saw this."

Izuna rolled her eyes at Obito, thinking that this guy seemed to have a bit of a speech impediment.

Thoughts?

What else could one possibly feel?

They must be furious.

The peace plan that he had painstakingly built up over so many years turned out to be a trap set by Black Zetsu to save its mother.

Let alone Madara Uchiha, anyone would be furious in this situation.

"So, Izuna, when you see Madara tomorrow, you really need to give him a good talking-to."

"To be honest, the only tailed beast that my brother wants to capture is the Nine-Tails. At such a critical moment, I don't think he will listen to me."

"Give it a try, do your best and leave the rest to fate. Even if you fail, we won't blame you."

Just as Izuna was pondering what to say, Jiraiya continued, "Anyway, we still have Plan B."

Izuna:? ? ?

"What Plan B? How come I don't know about it? So you never believed me at all?"

"Don't say that. We're just doing this as insurance. As for Plan B, you'll find out after the video ends."

"Heh, then I'll just have to wait and see."
