The Masked Man's Ideal! The Eye of the Moon Plan
Unlike Ōnoki's displeasure, everyone else in the venue gasped in astonishment after witnessing Shinki instantly defeat the Masked Man with Dust Release...
Shinki could instantly kill the Masked Man, so killing them would be a piece of cake...
Hokage Tsunade noticed the awkward atmosphere in the room and spoke up, "By the way, that Masked Man should be dead by now, right...?"
Ōnoki picked up the conversation, saying proudly, "Do you think my Iwagakure Village's Dust Release is just an ordinary Ninjutsu? Dust Release is composed of wind, fire, and earth Chakra, and when activated, it can even achieve molecular-level damage. Besides, Shinki just made his move, and I didn't even notice. That Masked Man is definitely dead beyond any doubt! (o´Д`o)ノ"
"However, Shinki, you acted a bit too quickly. Otherwise, we might have been able to capture the Masked Man alive and obtain information about the Akatsuki..."
Facing the Tsuchikage's slightly displeased gaze, Shinki didn't answer directly. Instead, he stared intently at the spot where he had just used Dust Release: "His revealed identity is Madara Uchiha, and his Dōjutsu is related to space and Space-Time. If we're not quick enough, he'll escape..."
The Tsuchikage Ōnoki, who had lived for seventy or eighty years, had naturally heard of the name Madara Uchiha and exclaimed in shock, "Madara Uchiha? Didn't he die decades ago?"
Shinki shrugged. "Anyway, he says he's Madara Uchiha. Let him pretend if he wants to. ┐(´-`)┌"
The Tsuchikage became increasingly confused by Shinki's words. "What is all this about? (||๐_๐)"
As soon as the Tsuchikage finished speaking, the expressions of the rest of the people in the hall suddenly changed again!
All eyes turned to a corner of the venue, where another strange spatial fluctuation had occurred!
Then, the orange mask reappeared!
The Masked Man said flippantly, "Shinki, you're still as sharp as ever. (◔◡◔)"
Shinki did not answer.
The Masked Man scanned the crowd with his single eye and continued, "You probably don't know who I am yet, so let me introduce myself. My name is Madara Uchiha."
"I'm here today because I have something to tell you, and after you understand, I also have something I'd like to ask you."
"Shinki, could you please put your hands down from the hand seals...? I just came here to chat with you guys!"
The Shinki stopped its hand seals. "Alright, then continue."
Seeing that the Shinki remained still, the Raikage and the others who had been itching to make a move also lowered their hand seals.
They also wanted to hear what this Masked Man, who called himself Madara Uchiha, had to say.
The Masked Man breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I'm sure everyone is curious about my purpose."
"..."
No one answered. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, the Masked Man continued, "Actually, my goal has always been to realize the Eye of the Moon Plan."
"The Uchiha Clan has a Stone Tablet passed down through generations, inscribed with the secrets left behind by the Sage of Six Paths."
"The eyes of the Uchiha Clan can decipher this Stone Tablet; the Sharingan, the Mangekyō Sharingan, the Rinnegan —the insights they glean are incredibly profound..."
The Tsuchikage scoffed, "Your words are getting more and more absurd. The Sage of Six Paths is just a figure from mythology."
In response to the Tsuchikage's words, the Masked Man insisted on his claim. "The Sage of Six Paths is real."
The irritable Raikage asked, "Stop talking nonsense, what does your goal have to do with the Sage of Six Paths? (′д`σ)σ"
The Masked Man remained unperturbed and continued, "Do you all know why the Sage of Six Paths is revered Sage and worshipped by everyone?"
"That's because he once saved the entire world from a monster."
That monster was called the Ten-Tails.
"In order to deal with the Ten-Tails, the Sage of Six Paths developed the current Jinchūriki sealing system, and the Sage of Six Paths himself was the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki."
"Afterwards, to prevent the Ten-Tails from wreaking havoc on the world again after his death, the Sage of Six Paths divided the Ten-Tails 'Chakra into nine parts, which are the Nine Tailed Beasts we know today."
"As for the Ten-Tails' true form, he sent it to the distant moon!"
"This is getting more and more fantastical. An individual that combines the Tailed Beast Chakra, how powerful would that be...눈_눈" said Mizukage Mei Terumi.
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and turned her gaze to the Shinki not far away.
Isn't this Red-Haired Kid a perfect example?!
The Masked Man continued, "My goal is to collect Nine Tailed Beasts, revive the Ten-Tails, and become its Jinchūriki Ten-Tails!"
The Raikage asked, "Regardless of whether what you're saying is true or not, what do you plan to do after reviving the Ten-Tails? Destroy the world?"
The Masked Man shook his head. "You underestimate me Madara Uchiha. ∩_∩"
"In some ways, my ultimate goal is the same as the Sage of Six Paths' —to save the Shinobi World!"
"After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, I will use the Ten-Tails' power to project my eyes onto the moon and unleash a massive Genjutsu — Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
"Let everyone on Earth fall into my Genjutsu. I will control everyone in the Genjutsu, making the world one, eliminating all the current divisions and wars..."
"This is my Eye of the Moon Plan."
After hearing this, Shinki's expression turned strange:(´°Δ°`)
Whether it's the Pain of Yuhi or the Masked Man of today, their ideal seems to be the same: to achieve world peace... and in this way...
Could it be that the members of Akatsuki are actually all good people?
Of course, this thought only flashed through Shinki's mind, after all, the ways these two people achieved peace were too outrageous!
Although Shinki was not highly educated, he knew that birth, aging, sickness, and death, the reproduction of all things, endless reincarnation, and the perpetuation of life.
Even if it were possible to trap all living things on the ground in Genjutsu, a whole host of problems would arise.
Rather than saying he cast Genjutsu on others, it's more accurate to say that the Masked Man, in his pursuit of peace, fell under Genjutsu himself...
Clearly, the other shadows weren't fools either.
Kazekage Gaara, retorted first, "What's the point of an illusory peace? We should achieve peace in reality!"
The Mizukage continued, "What's the point of living in Genjutsu? The peace you speak of is nothing but wishful thinking!"
The Hokage nodded. "What you mean by creating a peaceful world is actually just creating a world that suits your own desires!"
Faced with the crowd's rebuttals, the Masked Man was in no hurry to argue, chuckling, "Actually, what you say makes sense, but all you do is sit here and talk big, contributing nothing to peace."
"As long as people exist, true peace may never be achieved."
"Why don't you hand over the remaining Tailed Beasts now and help me achieve the Eye of the Moon Plan?"
As he spoke, the Masked Man looked at Shinki with his single, exposed eye. "What's your opinion?"
