"You've presented your so-called evidence, and you've shown strength far beyond mine. I seem to have no reason to deny it."
Madara then added, "However, is the Ninja World truly as you say, with the Sage of Six Paths controlling everything?"
"More or less."
Before Kazuki could say anything, Hashirama exclaimed with deep conviction, "Though the Sage of Six Paths is cruel, everything he does is for the long-term development of the Ninja World. If you want to capture all the Tailed Beasts, we cannot allow it. Kushina is one of us."
Madara was somewhat silent. How could he not know about Kushina becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
Konoha had, after all, gone down this path. If Danzo were still in Konoha, perhaps Kushina might not have become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Instead, it would have been those so-called Wood Release experimental subjects.
If it were truly those people, Madara would have found it much easier to obtain Nine-Tails. Unfortunately, Kushina had become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the difficulty of capturing Nine-Tails had increased sharply.
"So what exactly is your purpose?" Madara turned his gaze to Kazuki.
He knew that Hashirama probably wouldn't give him any information, and Hashirama couldn't make decisions on these matters.
Even Madara had to admit that the era belonging to him and Hashirama had passed. Now was Kazuki's era, and most crucially, this era had no Hashirama to contend with Kazuki.
"Of course, it's to have you play the role of the great villain of the entire Ninja World." Kazuki smiled freely.
"I want to pursue peace, but I don't want our peace to cause the Ninja World to stagnate, unable to recover its vitality. It's very necessary to improve the overall strength of the Ninja World."
"By having you as the villain, leading the various villains of the Ninja World, and even using Edo Tensei to attack us, do you think this will improve the overall strength of the Ninja World? Then we will consider unifying several countries."
Madara instantly became speechless. Damn it, he had seen shameless people, but never anyone so utterly shameless.
Is Kazuki really an Uchiha?
The Uchiha clan seemed to have never produced such a brazen individual.
Hashirama said, "Madara, although this matter is a bit difficult, I feel that only you can bear this responsibility. If you find it too difficult, I can actually be reanimated to help you."
Hashirama was unwilling to indiscriminately kill innocent people. But if it was about protecting the Ninja World and promoting its development, then he would not refuse.
"Hmph!" Madara snorted coldly.
He looked at Kazuki and said, "You know, I'm old now. I'm afraid I can't maintain the peace you want."
He was a smart man and naturally understood Kazuki's intentions, so he added, "Also, you can maintain short-term peace, but you will also grow old. It's hard to guarantee that after you die, there won't be chaos like after Hashirama died."
"I am already immortal. At least, I can live for a thousand years. Moreover, for people of our level, death is merely a starting point. You don't truly believe that the Sage of Six Paths and the others are dead, do you?" Kazuki looked at Madara meaningfully.
Madara thought of the Sage of Six Paths's plan that Hashirama had mentioned earlier, it seemed the Sage of Six Paths was indeed still alive.
It was a pity that even if he activated his Rinnegan, he probably couldn't achieve what the Sage of Six Paths had.
"Initially, after killing you, I planned to reanimate you. At that point, you would be a controllable Madara." Kazuki then said playfully.
Madara was instantly enraged. Was this damned Uchiha trying to toy with him?
Since Kazuki said it was "initially," there must be a follow-up. Thinking of another person who mastered Edo Tensei, Madara had a bad premonition.
What kind of sinister plot was that despicable Tobirama preparing again?
Many things from back then, Madara wasn't unable to see them. He was just disappointed with Konoha and Hashirama. He merely wanted to bring peace to the Ninja World.
"However, I can't not offer you some help. If you perform well, I can help you revive." Kazuki said, his words shocking enough to kill.
"Oh? You should know that I've already activated the Rinnegan before. When I activated the Rinnegan, I foresaw the cost of using Rinne Tensei on myself. It would probably require the Ten-Tails' Chakra to fully revive me." Madara gazed at Kazuki and said in a deep voice.
"I know. However, for me, reviving you is not difficult, and it won't even require any significant cost." Kazuki chuckled.
"At most, it will just consume some Chakra. I can even teach you the so-called Six Paths Sage Mode and help you get stronger."
Even Madara couldn't help but tremble upon hearing this. He looked at Kazuki with an expression of disbelief.
There was, after all, a deep-seated enmity between him and Kazuki, yet Kazuki actually wanted to revive him?
What exactly was the other party's motive?
"The Ōtsutsuki have already arrived in the Ninja World. Perhaps in less than a decade, Ōtsutsuki will continuously arrive in the Ninja World. If we lose, the Ninja World will be completely finished. Compared to the development of the Ninja World, some personal grievances and grudges can be abandoned."
"The Sage of Six Paths could even seal his own mother for the sake of the Ninja World and instigate a bloody battle between his two sons. Compared to him, what I have done is too little."
Kazuki's gaze was profound as he said, "My eyes can see some future information. I plan to take the initiative and go cause trouble for the Ōtsutsuki clan. At that time, the Ninja World might need you to protect it."
Madara's body trembled. He really wanted to ask Kazuki, "Aren't you afraid that I'll gather all the Tailed Beasts, revive the Ten-Tails, and implement the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan while you're gone?"
Are you that trusting of me?
"I know you might still have concerns. Actually, I can also take you to the Pure Land and let you meet the Sage of Six Paths. I believe that after meeting the Sage of Six Paths, your thoughts will change." Kazuki then continued.
Since the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan is the Sage of Six Paths's plan, then I'll let the Sage of Six Paths explain it to you.
