Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

In his mouth and in his heart, he always believed that the ninja world was nothing but trash, except for Hashirama.

As a result, not long ago, Orochimaru, with an extremely contemptuous attitude, almost completely destroyed him in a single breath.

Even though Madara's body has basically recovered thanks to Hashirama's cells and Black Zetsu's efforts.

However, emotional wounds are not easily healed.

Now, Black Zetsu is worried that Madara has lost his mind and won't help him save his mother.

"Heh, ha..."

Hehehehehahahahahaha..."

Suddenly, in this small space, the angry and rampant laughter of Uchiha Madara could be heard.

"Such an enemy!"

Ha, this even surpasses Hashirama's enemies!

it's me……

"I, Madara Uchiha, underestimated everyone in the world, and overestimated myself and Hashirama!"

"In Orochimaru's eyes, I'm probably just a funny joke!"

"Ha ha..."

I, Madara Uchiha, dominated the ninja world for decades, only to become a laughingstock in the eyes of others.

Orochimaru?

Orochimaru!

"Black Zetsu, tell me where those tailed beasts are."

It was I, Madara Uchiha, who underestimated the heroes of the world.

The power Orochimaru displayed was something I, even with the Rinnegan, could not match.

Even if I haven't used my eye technique yet, I still absolutely cannot win.

"It's time to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

That was my only chance to completely surpass Hashirama, and even to utterly crush Orochimaru's arrogant pride.

"The so-called pride of Uchiha Madara."

I've let it go.

Orochimaru, the next time we meet, I will have become the second Six Paths!

Ban suddenly stood up, and the gloomy aura he had just exuded transformed into boundless domineering power in a few breaths.

Madara Uchiha is Madara Uchiha after all. In some fantasy worlds, he is a man with the potential to become a ruler or an emperor.

........................

Traveling throughout the entire ninja world, in just five or six days, all of Yue's tailed beast leeks had been harvested by Madara, Black Zetsu, and Obito.

"Is that the present-day Konoha?"

Madara stood imposingly atop a high mountain outside Konoha, gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar village, a hint of melancholy appearing in his eyes.

"Lord Madara, you should heed my advice and cooperate with that Yakushi Kabuto."

Kabuto Yakushi was once Orochimaru's subordinate. He was not only proficient in the Impure World Reincarnation technique, but also knew many of Konoha's forbidden techniques.

Even the Reaper Death Seal created by Tobirama Senju!

Although he didn't have the cells of those ancient gods that Orochimaru possessed, Kabuto Yakushi knew how to release the Nine-Tails, whose body had been half-sealed by the Reaper Death Seal.

While half of the Nine-Tails may not be as perfect as the whole Nine-Tails, it is enough to make you a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Then we'll go and seize the other half of the Nine-Tails from Naruto Uzumaki of Konoha.

Black Zetsu's words had a rather earnest and persuasive tone.

Although his lord Madara did not completely break down mentally and fall into a slump.

But how did I become the most awesome ninja in the world again in just five or six days?

Hey, you just got wrecked by Orochimaru a few days ago.

Konoha now has Uchiha Tsuki, whom even Orochimaru acknowledges.

"That's right, Black Zetsu is right."

Uchiha Yue is a man even Orochimaru acknowledges.

His Rinnegan was a super eye that Orochimaru painstakingly created.

This even includes my Kamui, as well as Itachi Uchiha's Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi...

Its pupil power is probably much stronger than your Rinnegan.

Our primary task now should be to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Instead of going to Konoha to provoke monsters like that.

Obito also tried to persuade him.

He felt that Madara had become arrogant again during his five or six-day journey of easily seizing the tailed beasts.

"No need to say more."

Orochimaru is like me and Hashirama.

It's rare for an era to produce even one or two such individuals.

Uchiha Yue may have the Rinnegan, but so do I.

The truly powerful are not the eyes, but the people who control them.

Madara Uchiha exuded domineering power, his face filled with arrogance.

Chapter 196 Madara Sneaks into Konoha

"I can understand Orochimaru's invincible mentality. It's the same loneliness that Hashirama and I felt for a long time, without any other opponents."

Looking back, at the end of the Warring States period, only Hashirama was worthy of fighting me. All the others, even the Kage of the Five Villages, were nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs.

That kind of loneliness is like being at the very top of the sky.

I can understand Orochimaru. He wanted to train Uchiha Tsuki, to train him to the point where he could fight him.

She even went so far as to give him a Rinnegan.

"If I hadn't been fortunate enough to have an opponent like Hashirama in my time, perhaps I would have been like Orochimaru, wanting to cultivate an enemy and enjoy the thrill of battle."

"but,

Uchiha Tsukuyomi?

"He's just a kid in his early teens, so what if he's a genius?"

"He was just a small apple that Orochimaru hadn't fully grown, not a towering tree like Hashirama, nor a peerless python like Orochimaru."

"Now, if I can meet him, I will investigate his background. Perhaps I can also gain a better understanding of the true strength of Orochimaru, who wants to train him."

Ban analyzed the situation with a serious expression, making perfect sense.

Both Black Zetsu and Obito couldn't help but nod in agreement, feeling that Madara's analysis was spot on.

Perhaps, this is the truth?

This caused Yue, who was hiding nearby and spying on the situation, to twitch her cheeks.

Madara Uchiha?

A true master of courting death.

Instead of honestly completing their missions, they came to Konoha to deliver themselves to their deaths.

He even sent Kabuto over there specifically to simplify Madara's journey to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

In a moment of desperation, Yue decided that once Ban was no longer useful, she would give him a small beating every seven days, followed by a big beating every seven days.

...........................

At the gates of Konoha, two ninjas were leaning lazily against either side of the gates.

Now, due to the existence of Orochimaru as a common enemy, the five great villages have significantly lowered their vigilance towards outsiders.

As long as the travel permit is appropriate, they can often be allowed into the village.

Who goes there?

Izumo saw Madara and Obito, and Black Zetsu approaching, and straightened up from the door he was leaning against.

Madara merely glanced at him, his expression indifferent, and tried to pass the two of them to enter Konoha.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, you weird-dressed guy."

Where is my identification?

Seeing that Madara completely ignored his companion, Izumo Kamui, Kotetsu approached with a disgruntled expression.

At the same time, vigilance was also raised to the highest level.

Madara's armor was already somewhat out of place for this era, and his actions further confirmed that this guy seemed to have ill intentions.

"Get out of my way, I'm not in the mood to joke around with small fry like you."

Madara frowned slightly, looking at Izumo and Kotetsu who were blocking his way, and seemed a little impatient.

He now wants to train Orochimaru's Little Apple, Uchiha Tsukuyomi, and capture the Nine-Tails.

I had absolutely no interest in exchanging any more words with the two gatekeepers.

"Entry into Konoha is prohibited without a permit."

Izumo and Kotetsu exchanged a quick glance, their hands slowly moving towards their waists.

They had already realized that these three guys were dangerous individuals without identification who were trying to force their way into the village.

"This is really troublesome, Madara!"
