One's Own Kingdom

"The Uchiha Clan's own country? Aren't we Uchiha Clan ninjas? Has the world changed that fast? A ninja clan can actually have its own country? So you're the daimyo of the Land of Snow? Well done, junior. Although you're a bit ugly and not even from our lineage, I, Uchiha Tajima, acknowledge you for leading the Uchiha Clan to have its own country."

Sigh, if only I could really be resurrected. I'm witnessing this golden age as a living dead.

"The Land of Snow? Never heard of it. It should be far from the Land of Fire, right? Why did we come here? Didn't my brother say that the Senju Clan is now just a woman? Without the Senju Clan, wouldn't the Land of Fire be under our Uchiha Clan? If we're going to be daimyo, we'll be the daimyo of the Land of Fire." Could this Land of Snow be a richer place than the Land of Fire? Impossible! The Land of Snow —just hearing the name tells you it's a harsh, cold land.

"No, no, no, Izuna- senpai, you misunderstand. The Land of Snow is merely a backup base for our Uchiha Clan. We haven't given up on the Land of Fire either. The Uchiha Clan are still the largest clan in Konoha. Konoha... well... it's the ninja village that Madara Uchiha and Senju Hashirama jointly established in the Land of Fire."

Leaving aside Uchiha Tajima, the eye powers of Madara Uchiha and Uchiha Izuna alone are a fortune. Moreover, Madara Uchiha's strength... is slightly above his own. He truly deserves to be called the legendary Asura of the Ninja World. Even his enhanced Mangekyou Mangekyo is no match for this guy.

"A backup plan? Trying to have your cake and eat it too? Is that even possible? The Hokage of Konoha wouldn't allow it, would he?" As the successor Tobirama Tobirama's will, how could the Konoha leadership allow the Uchiha Clan to do something that borders on treason? Even Uchiha Fugaku, with his strength, couldn't withstand the pressure from the entire Konoha, could he?

"Senior Madara, the one who became the Daimyo of the Land of Snow was just an ordinary member of the Uchiha Clan who wasn't officially part of the clan. Besides, the Land of Snow wasn't something our Uchiha Clan seized by force. The princess of the Land of Snow and that guy Genji were in love and mutually attracted. It was the princess's own choice; no one forced her. How can we, Konoha, interfere in the internal affairs of the Land of Snow and break up a loving couple?" It's no wonder these old fogies are ignorant; I was shocked for a long time when I first learned about this.

"Is... is this even possible? Isn't marrying a princess something that only happens in stories? This junior named Uchiha Gen must be very handsome, right? How does he compare to my older brother?" Although she was very shocked, Izuna was still very curious about this lucky boy who married a princess.

"Hmm... I hate to admit it, but even within the Uchiha Clan, Minamoto's looks are top-tier. Madara-senpai... is slightly inferior." Minamoto's appearance is actually just average; his numerous titles and accolades significantly boost his appeal...

"Is that so? It's all because of that kid named Gen? The change in everything started because of him? I really want to meet that guy." Obito, what have you been doing all these years? The Uchiha Clan has even established a country, and you still haven't finished your own little business?

"Senior Madara, no offense, but your Eye of the Moon Plan is far too unrealistic. Instead of pinning your hopes on a false Genjutsu, it would be more practical to work with us to build the Land of Snow. With the strength of all of us, and without the Senju Clan today, who in the Ninja World could stop us?"

Even before resurrecting Madara Uchiha, Gen had mentioned Madara's so-called Eye of the Moon Plan to him. However, with the current strength of the Land of Snow and the Uchiha Clan, they should be able to dispel the unrealistic fantasies of this Asura of the Ninja World, right?

After all, the Eye of the Moon Plan doesn't seem very reliable, and compared to the real Land of Snow, it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see which one to choose.

"Huh? You actually know about the Eye of the Moon Plan? Did you also see that stone tablet? No, how did you know I was plotting the Eye of the Moon Plan?" Damn it, where did things go wrong? Even someone like Fugaku knows about the Eye of the Moon Plan, what are Black Zetsu and Obito up to?

"Senior Madara, don't get too excited. It's just the Eye of the Moon Plan, nothing that can't be accomplished. The Konoha High Command and the Hidden Snow Village already know about it, and spies from other countries might have already found out as well. Not long ago, the Akatsuki went to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails, presumably for your Eye of the Moon Plan, right? Unfortunately, it failed. Now the Akatsuki is being ganged up on by the other major ninja villages. So the Eye of the Moon Plan is too unreliable. Senior Madara, why don't you join the construction of our Land of Snow? The Land of Snow needs talents like you."

To persuade someone like Madara Uchiha, you need to present some solid evidence first. If the Eye of the Moon Plan goes smoothly, Madara is unlikely to wholeheartedly join your side.

"Enough with the nonsense. How did you find out about my Eye of the Moon Plan? How did such a closely guarded secret become known throughout the Ninja World?" There shouldn't be a problem with Black Zetsu, so could it be Obito?

"Well, our Uchiha Clan has a member with the Mangekyo who can foresee the future, so Madara-senpai's plan isn't a secret to us."

"Foresight? There's such a terrifying Dōjutsu? No wonder... did my plan ultimately succeed?"

"Um, do you think that if it succeeded, our Uchiha Clan would still build the Land of Snow? The Black Zetsu beside you is not the embodiment of your will; he is the ultimate mastermind. Everything you've done has been guided by him in secret. The so-called Eye of the Moon Plan is merely to revive Kaguya-hime, the Rabbit Goddess. You've been used, Madara-senpai."

When he learned these secrets from Gen, he was shocked. He never expected that the famous Asura of the Ninja World was just a pawn in someone else's game. The waters of the Ninja World are truly deep. It's laughable that he used to think he was the number one under Gen when he had some strength.

"Black Zetsu? Reviving the Rabbit Goddess?" Given the current situation, Fugaku shouldn't be lying to me about something like this. Now that I think about it, there are indeed many suspicious things about Black Zetsu's appearance. I didn't even pay attention to it before. Black Zetsu must have used some kind of secret technique to make me overlook it.

How dare you use me, Black Zetsu! You've already chosen your own death!

"If what you say is true, then the most important thing now shouldn't be something as trivial as building the Land of Snow. If it really is Black Zetsu who's behind this, then the most important thing now is to find a way to stop him."

We must find a way to retrieve the eye that's on Nagato. Since Black Zetsu wants to use me, I'll just turn the tables on him. Once I'm resurrected as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, all that bullshit conspiracy and talk about resurrecting Kaguya-hime can go to hell.
