Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 184 Obito: You think you can just stop like that? Do you know how much I've sacrificed?!

"Cancelled?"

Obito Uchiha was completely dumbfounded at this moment!

What does that mean?

cancelled?

ended?

You damned old man, are you playing me for a fool?

Do you even need to look at what you're saying?

Obito Uchiha was starting to lose his composure; his fists were now completely hard!

Doesn't that damned old man know how much he's sacrificed for this plan?

He gave up everything for this plan!

He severed his bond with Kakashi, betrayed his village, and even killed his teacher.

He was neither human nor ghost, wandering the world like a phantom.

The only thing that sustained his belief was the Eye of the Moon Project, the Infinite Tsukuyomi Project.

Only that can create a world with Lin and everyone else!

Now you're telling me to cancel?

Am I crazy, or are you crazy?

"Are you kidding me?!"

Obito Uchiha was unusually furious, and his Sharingan looked so menacing.

"Although not all nine tailed beasts have been captured, their chakra has been gathered, and the Gedo Mazo has been completely absorbed!"

The Edo Tensei army has already begun its operations, and Kumogakure and Iwagakure are cooperating perfectly. We are only one step away from success.

Now you're telling me to cancel the operation? Are you crazy?

"Don't forget, you told me that Project Eye of the Moon could create a peaceful world, a world under our control, and now you're going to give that up?!"

Obito Uchiha would absolutely not allow this to happen!

boom--

However, Obito Uchiha was met with a look and an imperceptible chakra attack!

Under the attack formed by that invisible aura, Obito Uchiha was directly thrown back and crashed heavily into the wall.

Moreover, Madara Uchiha's eyes gradually turned cold, and his voice became exceptionally authoritative.

Am I taking your opinion into consideration? I'm just informing you!

Also, you'd better not be so arrogant. Who do you think you are?

"hateful!"

Obito Uchiha immediately stood up, his Sharingan turning an exceptionally crimson red.

Moreover, the fierce glint in his eyes further highlighted his madness!

In that instant, the space around him began to distort, and the chakra within his body surged continuously.

Clearly, he was about to make a move!

He has already invested so much in this plan, and the sunk costs are so huge, how could he possibly give up just because of a dead man's words?

He didn't care who this guy in front of him was; he had to carry out this plan!

Because he wants to create a world with Lin and everyone else, he absolutely cannot give up all of this!

"Oh? You want to fight me?"

Madara Uchiha maintained his arrogant demeanor, crossing his arms and looking disdainfully at Obito Uchiha.

Everything you have is given to you by me—your life, your strength, the fact that you are alive today is because of me!

I just didn't expect my kindness to lead you to the wrong conclusion; how pathetic.

As he spoke, Madara Uchiha's eyes suddenly changed, transforming into the Eternal Eyes, and at the same time, his chakra stirred slightly.

"Waaah"

Obito Uchiha was struck as if by a heavy blow; he instantly clutched his heart and collapsed to his knees in agony.

His face beneath the mask was contorted; such pain was unbearable for most people!

Do you really think I have no reservations about you?

Madara Uchiha shook his head, his eyes filled with indifference, but he didn't seem to have any intention of killing.

However, when facing Obito Uchiha, he didn't seem to have any intention of explaining; he simply shook his head and said...

"Get out of here before I change my mind. The plan has been cancelled, it's all over, and you shouldn't waste any more of your time."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha walked directly into the depths of the underground base.

When Hashirama Senju saw this, he shook his head. He didn't say anything and just left with Madara Uchiha.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

Obito Uchiha clutched his chest tightly, the intense pain making it difficult for him to breathe.

His gaze was fixed on Madara Uchiha's departing figure, his anger finding no outlet.

What is this?

What the hell is this?

He has come this far step by step, abandoned by everyone, his hands covered in blood, becoming a monster, only to end up with nothing.

Black Zetsu, who had been silent all along, stared intently at Madara Uchiha's back, as if he had long anticipated this outcome.

However, Madara Uchiha was clearly more direct than he had imagined. This guy was so resolute, and he couldn't accept this kind of thing either!

"Now what? What do we do now?"

Orochimaru watched all this silently, licking his lips with amusement, seemingly unsure of what to do.

"Everything as usual."

However, after a moment's thought, Black Zetsu spoke directly without any room for doubt.

"Madara, perhaps he was deceived. He went to Konoha and perhaps something happened to him."

I'll try to persuade him; perhaps he's just been misled, and maybe he'll change his mind.

Will things change?

Perhaps.

Black Zetsu didn't know, but he knew he had to do something!

Even if we don't attack Madara Uchiha, we still have to get something from Obito.

This time, he absolutely cannot fail.

"Suit yourself. Anyway, they haven't escaped the Impure World Reincarnation, so I can control them properly."

Orochimaru shrugged indifferently, but still asked with a smile.

"But is this really a good idea? After all, it seems like he rejected me."

"Have you considered how Konoha will wipe you out once we stop?"

Black Zetsu countered with a question that made Orochimaru's eyes narrow slightly. Clearly, the person who had controlled the First Hokage was unlikely to have a good end.

However, Black Zetsu didn't intend to say anything more. He turned to look at Uchiha Obito, whose eyes were gloomy.

"Let's talk, it's something important."

After saying that, Black Zetsu walked outside without looking back. Obito Uchiha hesitated slightly but followed with a cold face.

However, none of them noticed that Orochimaru, standing behind them, revealed a strange smile.

His thoughts drifted back to that night.

"For example, don't you want to know the secret of the Eye of the Moon, and find out who the mastermind is?"

The moonlight was like a song, its silvery rays spilling into the Hokage Building.

As Hidezawa sat on the Hokage's shadow, he calmly uttered these words, which immediately sent a shiver down the spines of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju.

Is this question even necessary?

This instigated a battle between Indra and Ashura, leading to a fierce war between their descendants, the Uchiha and Senju, that lasted for over a thousand years.

They went from being harmonious brothers to being irreconcilable enemies.

Even if the Sage of Six Paths had other ideas, such a person must be exposed!

"you mean"

Although Madara Uchiha was still on guard against Hidezawa's attack, he remained calm and spoke in a low voice.

"Wait a mininute."

But before he could finish speaking, Xiuze suddenly raised his finger and gently shook his head.

"There's still someone listening here, so I think it's best not to ignore him."

As they spoke, Xiuze's chakra instantly enveloped the entire Hokage Building, and in that instant they seemed to be pulled into a magical space!

All that remained were black and white colors, while the moon in the sky had somehow turned into a crimson hue.

The Sharingan with its nine tomoe rings was turning gently, and boundless power seemed to be spreading continuously. At that moment, they noticed that there was another person in front of them!

Orochimaru?

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow slightly at the sudden appearance of Orochimaru's 'spirit form'.

Orochimaru was stunned. Although the Land of Rice Fields and the Land of Fire were on the same border, the problem was that Konoha was very far away from the Land of Rice Fields!

How did I end up here in an instant, without any power to resist?

Is this even human power?

Orochimaru glanced at Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, then looked at Hidezawa, who seemed to still be sitting in the Hokage's chair, and finally chose to remain silent.

Nothing you say will work; at this point, the wisest course of action seems to be to wait and see.

"Alright, everyone's here, so it's time for me to share my thoughts."

Shuzawa didn't care about Orochimaru's behavior; this guy had been using the Impure World Reincarnation technique to eavesdrop more than once or twice.

Combining this with his memory of this guy's defection, Xiuze felt that this guy might be worth using.

Orochimaru has always been a wise man who knows when to yield.

"The fact that the Uchiha stone tablet was deliberately altered and had the 'Eye of the Moon' plan added to it already explains a lot of things."

"You mean... you want me to make all of this happen?"

Madara Uchiha wasn't stupid; he instantly understood what Hidezawa meant. Not only him, but Orochimaru and Hashirama Senju also immediately understood.

This is the simplest method. Since the tamperer did this, it's clear that they wanted to achieve all of this.

If that's the case, why not satisfy him?

Since we already know about this, we can totally use this to fish for fish!

"Isn't this too risky?"

However, Hashirama Senju disagreed, immediately shaking his head in rebuttal.

"This is clearly wrong, and nobody knows what will happen to the 'Eye of the Moon' project."

What if it causes some irreversible consequences? Besides, after all these years, who knows if that guy is alive or dead?

Time is indeed a cruel mistress.

At least in Hashirama Senju's view, even the Sage of Six Paths and his brother were dead, so how could anyone else withstand the erosion of time?

"It's none of your business."

Unfortunately, Madara Uchiha wasn't buying it; he seemed quite interested in it.

"Whether he is alive or not, I want to see who is behind this."

Even if it means death, I'm willing to accept it, since I'm already a dead man anyway. But I absolutely will not allow anyone to treat me like an idiot and make fun of me!

"spot"

"Shut up! You forced me to this point. Have you made any right choices? Look at the war in the ninja world, you're an idiot!"

"."

Madara Uchiha used very foul language, and what Hashirama Senju hated most was hearing people say, "The current Shinobi World War is all his fault!"

Although he himself knew in his heart that these things might really be related to him, he really did do it for peace back then.

With a wry smile, Hashirama Senju fell silent, knowing Madara Uchiha's stubborn temper and that he had no choice but to remain speechless.

In this state, it's unlikely anyone can persuade this guy.

"A wise choice."

Xiuze shrugged, watching all this with a smile, but he couldn't help but glance at the moon in the sky out of the corner of his eye.

The moon was actually his third eye, but the problem was that he hadn't used that power.

Shaking his head, Xiuze was too lazy to think about it anymore. This eye still needed to be explored, and dealing with the current matter was more important to him.

"And you don't need to worry too much. No matter what happens, it's always best to have a result."

Besides, I don't think you need to be resurrected yourself to deal with all of this.

"Um?"

Xiuze's words startled everyone present, but Madara Uchiha quickly realized something.

"You mean, Nagato?"

"."

Xiuze rubbed his temples, shook his head, and spoke.

"No, not Nagato. What you need now is someone with a strong desire to carry out the mission."

It also possesses sufficient self-protection capabilities and can withstand the "power of all things in the universe" to a certain extent.

And someone who's not exactly bright but has an exceptionally strong will—I think you're one of those people.

"Obito Uchiha?!"

Xiuze's words were practically an open secret; he was practically writing Obito Uchiha's name on his face!

If Madara Uchiha still can't react to this, he might as well really commit suicide.

Madara Uchiha looked somewhat surprised. Could this idiot really be up to the task?

"Obito Uchiha?"

But soon, his expression turned strange, and he couldn't help but mutter the name again.

"Uchiha Obito"

After a moment, he murmured the name again, and this time his expression seemed much more natural.

"That's right, Uchiha Obito."

Xiuze nodded affirmatively, and a smile bloomed on his face once again.

This guy, who can think of women so deeply that he can resist the Ten-Tails' tearing apart and even successfully become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, is truly the perfect candidate!

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Hashirama Senju spoke with some difficulty, though he wasn't really sure what role Obito Uchiha had played in all of this.

But he knew very well that Madara Uchiha was probably the source of everything.

"First Generation Lord, there's nothing wrong with this."

Upon hearing this, Xiuze shook his head without any hesitation.

"You have no idea how many terrible things this guy has done over the years, and I have quite a few grudges with him."

In order to achieve his goal, he colluded with Danzo and guided Jiraiya's disciples to create the Akatsuki organization.

He instigated the Nine-Tails attack, which killed the Fourth Hokage, and also orchestrated the massacre of the Uchiha clan. He also launched a surprise attack on the village during the Chunin Exams.

Finally, they attacked the Tailed Beasts, almost bringing disaster to the Land of Rain. In the end, they even controlled the other Kage, used the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and launched the Fourth Shinobi World War!

Do you think we can let someone like that get away with it?

At this point, Xiuze glanced inadvertently at Uchiha Madara and Orochimaru, the meaning in his eyes self-evident.

Madara Uchiha's lips twitched. Although some things were done by Obito Uchiha, there were also many things that Madara himself had done!

If I hadn't laid the groundwork, could that idiot Obito Uchiha have done this?

Now, it all belongs to Obito Uchiha?

Orochimaru, however, wore a forced smile; he realized that Hidezawa was no ordinary slob.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, it's all Obito Uchiha's stuff. This is a complete annihilation tactic!

Fortunately, Orochimaru didn't have much of a moral compass either.

He was not bound by any particular stance; he was a person who believed in "discretion is the better part of valor."

However, at this moment, both he and Madara Uchiha realized something.

Shihara Hidezawa seems to be more petty than one might imagine.

It seems that those who offend him never get away with anything good.

"Is this guy really that unreasonable?"

Hashirama Senju's lips twitched, and he also turned to look at Madara Uchiha and Orochimaru.

"But why do some things seem like they were done by the two of them?"

"Orochimaru is a rogue ninja, and Konoha will deal with him properly. But right now, we need to figure out what exactly happened."

Xiuze nodded, and he did not deny his actions of framing others.

"Besides, Madara Uchiha is already dead. Even if he left something behind, it would be Obito Uchiha who would carry it out."

Perhaps we could conduct an experiment: we could directly tell Obito Uchiha that the operation is terminated and see his reaction. Wouldn't that confirm something?"

"."

Is this guy really going to refuse?

Hearing this, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't say anything more.

Moreover, Obito Uchiha did indeed do something unforgivable.

Attacking Konoha, killing his own teacher, and slaughtering the entire Uchiha clan—these are all unforgivable sins of his!

This guy has completely transformed from 'humanoid' to 'non-human,' utterly succumbing to darkness, and there's probably no turning back now.

Madara Uchiha.

It seems like it's still my fault?

Thinking of this, Hashirama Senju fell silent, but he really wanted to see if this would have any effect!

As for Orochimaru, he didn't dare to say anything; he was wondering if he had offended Hidezawa.

If it really exists, shouldn't I run away first?

Looking at the current situation, he felt that even if he ran away, it would be useless; this guy was really terrifying!

"Alright, now that this is settled, we still need someone to cooperate."

Seeing that neither Uchiha Madara nor Senju Hashirama spoke, Xiuze turned to look at Orochimaru, who had always been silent.

"Lord Orochimaru, after all, you are the one who cast the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so you are indispensable in this step as well."

Now you have two choices. First, cooperate with us. After all, you know so many secrets, so cooperating is a good option.

Secondly, I will get your cooperation in some ways, which is not difficult for me, and can even be said to be very simple.

"Now, make your choice, Lord Orochimaru."

"."

Do I even have a choice?

"You bastard, you did all this without telling me!"

In Konoha, at the ancestral home of the Senju clan.

When Tsunade heard Hidezawa mention his meeting with Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, her face darkened. Yugao and Hikari sat silently to the side.

One of them completely trusted Xiuze, while the other simply didn't care about anything else.

"I'm sorry, teacher, it just happened so suddenly."

Xiuze shrugged and explained with a smile.

"However, I have already reached an agreement with the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, and even Orochimaru."

They will cooperate in the operation to find the mastermind behind it all; isn't that the most important thing?

Moreover, with their cooperation, this war will not become too troublesome.

Perhaps we'll even see the two legendary ninja heroes of yesteryear join forces, or even see the "Three Legendary Sannin" reunite.

Tsunade was taken aback by these words, as if she still harbored some longing for them, but Hikaru gave Hidezawa a strange look.

"But no matter if they join forces, or if the 'Three Legendary Sannin' reappear,' they are no match for you."

"."

Tsunade glared at Hikaru, realizing that there was a reason why her great-grandfather disliked the Uchiha clan!

Too lazy to pay attention to Hikaru, Tsunade turned her gaze back to Hidezawa.

The latest novel is first published here!

Are you sure Obito Uchiha will do as you want?

And are you sure you can control the situation? After all, we're facing an unfamiliar and uncontrollable situation.

"Don't worry, I must be confident that I can do this."

Xiuze smiled. Putting aside the fact that he knew the information, if he still couldn't handle it well despite all the preparations he had made, then he would be utterly incompetent!

Actually, this time, Shuzawa wasn't just dealing with these guys from the ninja world; he also saw the Otsutsuki clan approaching.

Moreover, the people who came were all "old acquaintances," so Xiuze should make good use of them!

He had already embellished the Sage of Six Paths' reputation, explaining why the Senju and Uchiha clans led the Fourth Shinobi World War.

so.

"It's decided, the Third Hokage, the Sage of Six Paths!"

The first Nabekage has naturally gone to the underworld. His body was taken away by Hidezawa for research, and finally burned to ashes.

The Second Hokage is still alive, but he's practically dead—that's Uchiha Obito!

This guy's fate is basically sealed. He's offended Xiuze so many times, and he's perfect for taking the blame.

It would be such a waste to let this opportunity pass us by.

As for the third generation, Hidezawa felt that the Sage of Six Paths, who was not in the human world, would be more suitable.

Although it was a bit disrespectful, Xiuze felt that this immortal wouldn't make things difficult for him, since someone always has to take some responsibility, right?

Besides, Xiuze didn't let the Sage of Six Paths take the blame for nothing; she even helped him with his "family affairs"!

So, it's only right to pay some price, isn't it?

Especially after those Otsutsuki clans arrived, didn't that prove he was right?

"Besides, I'm an immortal myself now, so blaming me isn't such a simple matter!"

The "sage" that Xiuze mentioned is not the kind of "sage" like Jiraiya, nor is it some kind of sage mode.

Rather, it is the sage who is the true "Sage of Six Paths"!

With such strength, Xiuze wouldn't necessarily be afraid of the Sage of Six Paths coming to cause trouble, much less of those "old acquaintances".

Xiuze will be even happier with their arrival.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Our focus now is on the battlefield."

Xiuze shook his head, then gently tapped the table and spoke softly.

"As for Obito Uchiha, he will definitely try to steal the Rinnegan. That guy's will is exceptionally strong."

"You're really confident, aren't you?"

Tsunade shook her head helplessly, seemingly dissatisfied with Hidezawa's handling of the matter, but upon closer reflection, it seemed there was nothing wrong with doing so.

Moreover, this wasn't the first or second time that Xiuze had escalated things, which left her quite helpless.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. I... um?"

Xiuze smiled, wanting to comfort Tsunade, but at that moment he suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?"

Hikaru looked at Hidezawa with some confusion, while Tsunade and Yugao also turned their gazes towards him.

"It's nothing."

After pondering for a moment, Xiuze smiled and shook his head.

"I received two pieces of news, and both were good news."

Sasuke and Naruto seem to be almost ready, and they are about to return to the ninja world with Shisui, Minato Namikaze, and others.

In addition, Obito Uchiha has already made his move.

Obito Uchiha's will was indeed incredibly firm. How could he possibly give up on something he had set his mind on just because of a single sentence from Madara Uchiha?

After he followed Black Zetsu out of the basement with a chilling expression, he was met by Black Zetsu who asked him a question that left him speechless.

"Are you really going to stop this project?"

"stop?"

Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth, and after a long while, he shook his head.

The image of Rin's smiling face flashed through his mind, followed by the image of Rin collapsing in Kakashi's arms, covered in blood.

His fists were clenched tightly, and it took him a while before he spoke angrily.

"How could it possibly stop? I will never stop all of this! He said it himself, the Eye of the Moon can create a peaceful world."

A world that included Lin, a world that included everyone, and now he's telling me it's canceled? How could it be canceled? I will never stop!

When Obito Uchiha said this, his eyes were almost manic, a sight that made Black Zetsu nod in satisfaction.

Although Obito Uchiha was an idiot and a good-for-nothing, it must be said that he performed quite well in this matter.

Such persistence, even if it's just for one woman.

But who dares to say that this woman wasn't Obito's driving force?

Are you going to tell me you're canceling too?

Obito Uchiha had no idea what Black Zetsu was thinking; he looked at Black Zetsu with a somewhat sinister gaze.

"If that's what you're going to say..."

I support you.

"I knew it, I was going to kill him. Huh? What did you say?"

I said, I support you.

Black Duke spoke again, and seeing that Uchiha Obito seemed a little dazed, he sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, an idiot is still an idiot!

"I'll say it again, I support you, I support this plan continuing."

Black Zetsu can only be thankful that Madara Uchiha's arrogance ruined this guy; otherwise, if he had said even a little bit, things would have turned out much better last night.

Of course, Black Zetsu also understood that even if Madara Uchiha spoke, it probably wouldn't make a difference.

Obito Uchiha is a prime example of someone who won't turn back until he hits a wall, especially as an Uchiha, his obsession was so deep.

His love is gone, and he wants to win it back; his obsession is so deep that it cannot be shaken.

"Logically speaking, Madara Uchiha should have been like that too, so why did he change?"

"Could it be because Hashirama Senju was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Hei Buze didn't quite understand, but he did think of Shihara Hidezawa and that mysterious Uchiha woman.

Imagine Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju as examples.

"."

Black Zetsu couldn't think any further; he worried he wouldn't be able to handle it. Meanwhile, Uchiha Obito, standing nearby, seemed to have snapped out of his daze.

He stared at Black Zetsu in disbelief for a long while before finally speaking.

"Aren't you Madara Uchiha's will? What are you doing?"

"You have your obsessions, and I have mine, or rather, I am Madara Uchiha's obsession!"

Black Zetsu is utterly ruthless when it comes to lying, and he spoke without hesitation.

"I don't know why he suddenly changed, but when he created me, he explained that I was born for the Eye of the Moon project."

He's strayed from the plan now, but my resolve remains unchanged; I will still carry it out!

"So that's how it is."

Obito Uchiha nodded slightly, but all of this seemed a bit strange, and he still needed to remain vigilant.

"So, what do you want us to do?"

"It's simple. I'll cooperate with you to control Nagato and obtain the Rinnegan!"

Blackie spoke without hesitation. Even if Obito Uchiha was a waste, he was desperate and would try to push it forward.

"Only by possessing the Rinnegan can you control the Gedo Mazo and thus become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki through it."

Although Nagato was alert, he didn't know the plan had been canceled; he was definitely still making preparations.

Even if he's wary of us, I can try to control him and help you take his eyes.

"Is that so?"

What Black Zetsu was talking about was exactly what Obito Uchiha had been planning and wanting to do these past few days.

He just didn't seize a better opportunity, but now it's come to him unexpectedly?

"But Madara Uchiha and his group probably won't stand by and watch. Aren't you going to let Orochimaru undo the Impure World Reincarnation?"

"Not for now, it has other uses."

Black Zetsu shook his head, his gaze becoming somewhat gloomy and profound.

"The power of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha should not be underestimated. Even if they cannot defeat Hidezawa Shihara, they can still hold out for a while."

As for you, you need time to adapt to the Rinnegan and also time to control the power of the Ten-Tails, so they are still very necessary.

As for Orochimaru, I think you don't need to worry. Orochimaru has done so many things that he has already offended Konoha.

Will Shihara Hidezawa let him go? Does he have any other choice but to cooperate with us?

Although Shihara Hidezawa didn't seem very proactive in pursuing Orochimaru, that was because of Uchiha Obito.

This left Obito Uchiha speechless, but he still nodded.

Those who offend that guy almost never have a good ending. It's foreseeable that if Orochimaru gives up everything, he won't have a good ending either!

"So."

Obito Uchiha was starting to believe Black Zetsu, and he asked in a low voice.

"What should we do now?"

"Naturally, we must go to Nagato and obtain the Rinnegan; only then will there be any hope!"

Hei Jue spoke coldly, "They need to act quickly now!"

"Okay, let's go then."

Obito didn't hesitate at all; he understood that only by obtaining the Rinnegan could things change!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Black Zetsu again, silently muttering to himself.

"No rush, we still need to do some other preparations."

However, Black Zetsu shook his head, which made Obito Uchiha's expression change, but Black Zetsu didn't care.

"First, the seal on your heart must be removed, otherwise you will be countered by Madara Uchiha."

Secondly, we need to find Orochimaru. As you know, Nagato is constantly on guard against us, and he's always with the Gedo Mazo.

So there's only one simple way to defeat him: we need more people to help us, so..."

At this point, a look of revenge appeared in Black Zetsu's eyes.

"What do you think about having Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju cooperate with us in this attack?"

"Ban, do you think this can work?"

Inside the basement of the Land of Fields, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

However, at this moment, he fully activated his senses. He wanted to make sure he wasn't being listened to, and at the same time, he wanted to see if there were any other people around.

After all, there were clues on the tree roots, which made him think more deeply.

"I don't know about this, but I'm willing to take the gamble."

Madara Uchiha shook his head and spoke with a serious expression.

"I don't want to keep going down this path in a daze, and I don't want to keep being fooled!"

As for Obito Uchiha, didn't you see it yourself? His eyes already showed his resentment; he might do something about it.

Madara Uchiha's words were unquestionable, which made Hashirama Senju sigh.

However, he was a ninja who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Even if his mind wasn't always so clear, he knew what he should do right now.

"But I'd like to confirm, what are your plans for the next step?"

Hashirama Senju was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Orochimaru will cooperate with us, but how exactly should we do it? When do you plan to act, or rather, how will you act?"

"You bastard"

Upon hearing these words, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but glare at Hashirama Senju, knowing perfectly well what his old friend meant.

This is because he's worried that he might take action against the ninjas of Konoha later!

But do I look that stupid?

"Don't judge me by your intelligence. The biggest regret of my life is not defeating you. Otherwise, the ninja world wouldn't have so much trouble!"

"."

"Furthermore, although I have always loathed that damned Tobirama Senju, there is one thing I am certain about him."

"He is my younger brother."

"He killed my brother!"

"."

"But this bastard thinks the same way I do: only by unifying the ninja world can we usher in peace. It's just that you, you idiot, deny it all. You really have something wrong with your head!"

Faced with Madara Uchiha's furious outburst, Hashirama Senju really didn't want to say anything.

He discovered that Uchiha Madara now seemed to use anything he discussed with him as a weapon to retaliate against him if he was unhappy with it.

Ironically, he couldn't find a single fault with it.

Perhaps he only saw things clearly after dying once, perhaps he was really wrong, or perhaps his vision was indeed too shallow.

"What we need to do is very simple: just pretend to be controlled right now."

Seeing that Hashirama Senju was speechless, Madara Uchiha nodded in satisfaction and then said quietly.

"At this point, you don't need to give me away. Be angry when you should be angry, and be dissatisfied when you should be dissatisfied."

The moment they deploy us to the battlefield will be the moment we strike back!

Madara Uchiha's plan was excellent; the Impure World Reincarnation technique might not actually be able to trap him.

Even if Orochimaru forcibly controls him, he might still find a chance to break free, after all, he knows the hand seal sequence, and he is confident in his current physical condition!

With so much preparation and such an advantage, if he still can't figure everything out and can't launch the strongest counterattack, then he really shouldn't be in this business.

"When the time comes, don't be soft-hearted when dealing with those guys. You've set a precedent, and I'm actually curious to see just how far Shihara Hidezawa can go!"

"Don't worry, what else can I do now that things have come to this?"

Hashirama Senju shook his head helplessly. Although he was troubled by this outcome, he ultimately chose to agree.

Moreover, he thought the same as Madara Uchiha: he was already a loser, and the ninja village system he created had not brought any benefits to the ninja world.

Instead, it created a more powerful war machine, whereas in the past, battles involved at most a few dozen or a hundred people.

Now, there are often multiple fronts, and hundreds or even thousands of people participating in the fighting at will.

In large-scale battles, the number of participants can be in the tens of thousands, and the number of casualties is unimaginable.

Perhaps, only by integrating the entire ninja world will things get better.

Xiuze seems to be moving in this direction, even if he is using a different model.

But Hashirama Senju really wanted to see what would happen after seeing all this.

"Um?!"

However, at that very moment, their bodies suddenly stiffened, and an invisible sense of restraint completely controlled them.

They looked surprised, exchanged a glance, and seemed to have guessed what was going on.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside, and Obito Uchiha and Orochimaru slowly walked in.

"They're really being cautious. Are they worried we'll make a move?"

Madara Uchiha stared at the two with cold eyes, his gaze seemingly filled with anger.

"After all, these two are the ones who created a new order in the ninja world, so we have to be careful."

Orochimaru licked his lips, his face still full of smiles, but his smile seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Obito Uchiha looked at the two immobilized people, his Sharingan eyes swirling slightly in their sockets.

He seemed ready to leave at the slightest disturbance, but at this moment he couldn't help but speak out angrily.

"Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Madara, do you think you can just stop the Eye of the Moon Project like that?"

"Do you know how much I sacrificed for this? Do you know how much I prepared for it?"

"Since you want to cancel? Fine, from now on, you're out of Project Moon's Eye!"

"Now, leave the Infinite Tsukuyomi to me!"

"Haven't you always treated me like a pawn? Now I'll make you my pawn!"

"Wasn't the Rinnegan yours? Now, it's mine!"

"I will definitely create a new world of my own, and I will do it!"

Listening to Obito Uchiha's hysterical words and seeing his excited appearance.

Aside from cursing "idiot" in his mind, Madara Uchiha seemed to have only one thought.

You little brat, you've gone against the natural order!
