I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

"Nine-Tails, you're right. That's what I thought back then. Unfortunately, Hashirama didn't agree with me, which led to a disagreement between us, and we ended up parting on bad terms!"

"If it had been yours back then, the ninja world might be unified by now!"

Madara's excitement didn't last long, as Naruto's questions followed: "Madara, I'm also very curious. You believe in power, so why would you believe in the Eye of the Moon's plan?"

This question had been lingering in Naruto's mind for a long time, and he had never been able to find an answer.

Madara Uchiha, who always believed in power, became obsessed with the Infinite Tsukuyomi after his attempts to persuade Madara by force failed. If he only wanted to obtain the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, that would be one thing, but he did it specifically for the sake of the humans in the ninja world.

After a moment of contemplation, Madara Uchiha said with a complicated expression, "Of course, it's for the Will of Fire!"

"For the Will of Fire?" Naruto wondered if he had misheard, but considering that the "fire" in the Will of Fire referred to the Uchiha clan, who were skilled in fire-style techniques, he could somewhat understand Madara Uchiha's thoughts.

"Hashirama once said that peace can come as long as people understand each other."

"At first, I didn't believe in this idea. When Hashirama was willing to commit suicide to get my forgiveness, I could understand the Will of Fire to some extent. But later, Hashirama and I had a disagreement. Hashirama even wanted to kill me for the sake of the village."

"At that time, I roughly understood that people cannot understand each other."

"So, is it possible to create a world where everyone can understand each other? Later I found it, and that is the Infinite Tsukuyomi. As long as you are within the Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu, everyone can understand each other and no longer fight for resources, thus achieving lasting peace."

"Even if this is just an illusion?" Naruto asked.

Madara Uchiha nodded confidently: "With a few tricks, they won't be able to detect the genjutsu at all. They'll think they're living in the real world and be happy until they die."

Chapter 318 Madara: It's all for Hashirama

Naruto frowned at Madara Uchiha's words; trying to talk this old man into submission was proving more difficult than he had imagined.

Judging from Madara Uchiha's current thoughts, even if he were told that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was just a hoax, it would probably be difficult to change Madara Uchiha's mind.

After all, although the Otsutsuki clan harvests chakra, they provide a beautiful illusion before transforming into White Zetsu.

Dying happily in a dream world is far happier than living in a country constantly embroiled in war.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Naruto told Madara about the Otsutsuki clan's harvesting of planets and pointed out that humans who were affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi would eventually be transformed into White Zetsu.

To Naruto's surprise, Madara Uchiha paused for a moment, then revealed an extremely complicated expression and sighed:

"So it was all a scam after all. If only there really was an Infinite Tsukuyomi without any side effects. It's a pity that this was just a scam by the Otsutsuki to harvest chakra."

Madara Uchiha would naturally not believe the words of an ordinary ninja.

But these words came from Naruto's mouth. He knew how powerful Naruto was. Since Naruto didn't choose the path of Infinite Tsukuyomi, it meant that the path of Infinite Tsukuyomi was wrong.

Even so, he still wanted to give it a try, so he wouldn't regret it.

After the small talk, Naruto directly removed Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan and placed it into a container he carried with him. Then he summoned the deceased Obito and used Kamui to absorb the Ten-Tails into the Kamui dimension.

After completing all this, Naruto brought the sealed Madara Uchiha to Hinata, Sasuke, and the others.

Exhausted, Hinata asked with some confusion, "Naruto-kun, is this battle over just like that?"

Despite having fought against the reanimated Jinchuriki and used the Great Tenseigan to unleash the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Hinata still felt somewhat uneasy upon seeing the captured Uchiha Madara, finding it all too surreal.

Sasuke's face was even colder; the battle was over before he could even unleash his full power.

Tobirama and the Third Hokage were already used to it. When they saw a meteorite with a diameter of several hundred meters being shot down and the Ten-Tails being cut open by the golden sword, they already understood that a new god of ninja had been born.

Unfortunately, the new God of Shinobi has nothing to do with Konoha, and the Third Hokage must bear the responsibility for all of this.

Thinking of this, Tobirama Senju looked at his disappointing disciple, his face gradually turning cold.

With a complicated expression, Hashirama Senju approached Madara Uchiha and said in a low voice, "Old friend, we're all dead now. Let's give up the idea of ​​interfering in the ninja world. Let the future generations handle the affairs of their descendants."

Naruto glanced at Hashirama Senju and said, "I just asked Madara Uchiha about this. It's all your fault. Madara Uchiha believed in the Will of Fire and wanted to create a world where people understand each other. That's why he spent decades preparing and launched the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan."

"However, in the end, their strength was insufficient, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi Project failed."

It's because of me... Hashirama Senju was speechless, looking up at the pitch-black sky. He really hadn't thought that much about it, and wasn't Madara's plan a bit too extreme?

After arranging his words, Hashirama Senju looked at Madara Uchiha: "You really activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi for my sake? Your thinking is far too extreme!"

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's voice, Madara Uchiha said without any politeness, "You are the one who betrayed the Will of Fire. The village was established to protect your comrades, but you turned against them for the sake of the village."

"For decades after your death, I have been sending White Zetsu to observe Konoha. Those Konoha ninjas trained by Tobirama have completely forgotten the Will of Fire and have been attacking their comrades in the village for their own benefit!"

"It can be said that it was the evil Tobirama Senju who sowed the seeds of Konoha's decline."

At this point, Madara Uchiha's voice became very loud, as if he was deliberately speaking to Tobirama Senju beside him.

Tobirama Senju, even less likely to give Madara Uchiha a friendly look, stated bluntly:

"You Uchiha are the ones who are born evil. If it weren't for you, the clan leader, leading the rebellion, and Uchiha Setsuna storming the Hokage Building, would I have entrusted the security forces to the Uchiha?"

Seeing that his younger brother and his former friend were about to fight, Hashirama Senju rushed over to stop them.

At this moment, Madara Uchiha noticed Sasuke Uchiha standing to the side and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that someone was so cunning that the Senju clan still lost its reputation. Apart from Tsunade, they can't produce any more qualified ninjas."

"Among the descendants of the Uchiha, there are still ninjas who can stand alone."

Tobirama Senju nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you have nurtured talents like Obito and Itachi Uchiha. Your Uchiha clan is too amazing. The Senju clan would never join forces to exterminate its own clan."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha was somewhat taken aback; his descendants were indeed quite outrageous.

At least Obito's attack on his master and mistress and his actions against his clansmen were excessive, while Itachi's act of sacrificing his parents to prove his magnanimity was even more outrageous.

While Madara and Tobirama Senju were arguing, Naruto walked up to Sasuke and asked, "Sasuke, did you catch Black Zetsu?"

Sasuke pointed to the Black Zetsu corpse not far away and said calmly, "Black Zetsu wasn't very strong. After I captured him, I accidentally killed him. He should be lying there now."

"Are you sure you killed Black Zetsu?"

“Confirmed…” Sasuke replied to Naruto as he approached Black Zetsu. He quickly discovered that this Black Zetsu was just a White Zetsu in disguise, and the real Black Zetsu had disappeared.

"It seems that Black Zetsu escaped, but since Madara Uchiha has been captured, Black Zetsu can't cause any trouble now."

"That's not necessarily true..." Naruto didn't pay much attention to Black Zetsu's escape. The Ten-Tails was currently in his Kamui dimension, and since Black Zetsu had neither the Rinnegan nor space-time ninjutsu, he couldn't reach the Ten-Tails at all.

Naruto brought Sasuke to Madara Uchiha's side and said, "Sasuke, come and meet your past life, Madara Uchiha. Although you are more like Madara's younger brother reincarnated, you look almost exactly the same."

Sasuke frowned, but soon noticed that Madara's eyes had softened considerably, and he muttered to himself.

Could he really look like Madara Uchiha's younger brother? He had heard Naruto mention the matter of chakra reincarnation before, but who would have thought that Naruto's casual remark was actually true?

After the joke ended, everyone present turned to look at Naruto, waiting for the strongest ninja in the world to speak.

Naruto didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "The Fourth Shinobi World War, which was started by Madara Uchiha, is over, but the crisis facing the shinobi world has only just begun!"

Chapter 319 Five Kage, Times Have Changed!

"The crisis facing the ninja world has only just begun."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, everyone present was stunned. They had thought everything was about to end, but it turned out that this was just the beginning.

Madara Uchiha's expression was extremely vivid. So, he wasn't the final boss, but just an elite monster?

Naruto glanced at Madara Uchiha and then said, "Let's start with Black Zetsu. Although we thwarted Madara Uchiha's plot this time, we haven't found the real culprit, Black Zetsu."

"Black Zetsu, isn't that my will?" Madara asked, somewhat puzzled.

Naruto smiled knowingly: "Is that so? Then where is he now? What makes you think the Rinnegan can create a life form like Black Zetsu?"

Madara was taken aback; he truly couldn't sense Black Zetsu's location.

Naruto continued, "The reason is simple. Black Zetsu was created by you. He is the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths and the third son of Kaguya Otsutsuki. It was he who altered the stone tablet at the Naka Shrine, making you believe in the Eye of the Moon Plan."

"The Eye of the Moon, when fully implemented, will unlock the secrets of Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama and Tobirama looked at Madara with pity, realizing that Madara had been toyed with for so long.

Sasuke put his hands on his hips and said, "So, Black Zetsu is the real culprit. He wanted to rescue Kaguya Otsutsuki and then absorb everyone's chakra? Kaguya Otsutsuki is the real culprit?"

Naruto gently shook his head: "Kaguya isn't exactly the culprit. She's from the Otsutsuki clan... she's an Otsutsuki who came to the ninja world to plant trees."

Soon, Naruto told these people all the information about the Otsutsuki clan.

After hearing the information about the Otsutsuki clan, Madara Uchiha felt increasingly like a clown. He had once thought he was the strongest ninja in the ninja world besides Hashirama.

But unexpectedly, deep within the starry sky, there were countless people more powerful than himself.

Hashirama and Tobirama frowned as well. The challenges facing the ninja world were far greater than they had imagined. If they were to fall down like this, would the ninja world perish because of it?

However, seeing Naruto talking so confidently, they felt much more at ease.

The only person with mixed feelings was perhaps the Third Hokage. He was too narrow-minded, thinking that Naruto had defected from Konoha to escape responsibility and that he harbored resentment towards him and Konoha.

But Naruto's vision was even broader than he imagined, which made him seem less like a good person in comparison.

……

At this moment, the people of Uzushio Village and the Five Kage, who had broken free from the entanglement of Limbo: Border Jail, also arrived at this battlefield.

Upon seeing the shattered meteorites on the battlefield and the sword energy that severed the mountain peaks, they understood that this was a battle they could not join, but judging from the commotion, the war seemed to have already ended.

Soon, the villagers of Uzushio Village and the Five Kage met Naruto and Madara Uchiha, who were chatting and laughing.

This scene left them somewhat bewildered, even wondering if they had fallen under a genjutsu. Why were Naruto and Madara Uchiha together? Was this Fourth Shinobi World War a staged drama?

Noticing the arrival of the Five Kage, Hinata approached them and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the war is over. Naruto defeated Madara Uchiha and they're discussing how to deal with him."

"How to deal with Madara Uchiha? Probably how to divide up the ninja world."

Onoki couldn't help but mutter to himself. The shrewd and calculating man didn't believe that a figure like Hashirama Senju would ever appear in the ninja world again. He clearly possessed invincible strength, yet he only guarded the Land of Fire.

The Fourth Raikage felt he had been tricked, but he could only suppress his temper and ask, "Where are Killer Bee and Yugito? How are they doing?"

Hinata shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe Naruto-kun knows."

"Okay, then I'll go over and ask them!"

Seeing Hinata's dismissive attitude, the Fourth Raikage could no longer control his temper and activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, intending to rush over.

Plop!

Hinata grabbed the Fourth Raikage's shoulder with one hand, and then the Shikotsumyaku pierced through the Fourth Raikage's arm. She smiled and said, "Fourth Raikage, Naruto-kun is discussing important matters. It would be best if you didn't approach us."

After his arm was pierced, the Fourth Raikage regained some consciousness.

He never expected that the girl in front of him would be so strong, able to easily break through the defense of lightning chakra. Even with the Byakugan bloodline limit of the Hyuga clan, she couldn't see through his weakness so easily.

After Hinata made her move, the other Uzushio Village ninjas also looked warily at the Fourth Raikage.

They had some understanding of Naruto's strategy, knowing that Naruto had the idea of ​​unifying the ninja world, but at present, Uzushio Village had too few ninjas, which was simply not enough to control all the territories of the ninja world.
