Eye of the Moon Plan

At worst, the Eye of the Moon Plan can be scrapped. In a world without Hashirama, with Wood Release, the Rinnegan, and the Ten-Tails, I can sweep through and unify the Ninja World. I don't even need the Eye of the Moon Plan; I can still bring peace back to the world.

"The Akatsuki and Black Zetsu are nothing to worry about. Compared to them, the priority right now is to build up the Land of Snow and take over the territory once everything settles down."

With the ambiguous relationship between Genji and Tsunade in Konoha, plus the support of the Uchiha Clan, there shouldn't be any problem. Sunagakure, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure will be too busy fighting the Akatsuki to resist the invasion of the Land of Snow. As for Kirigakure, the Fifth Mizukage seems to be Genji's lover. All things considered, the time for the Uchiha Clan to rule the Ninja World is not far off.

"Fugaku, I admit you have some strength, but you don't understand the terror of the Rinnegan. Right now, Black Zetsu and the Akatsuki are the main focus. After all, your strength is still a bit insufficient in front of the Rinnegan." Nagato, with the help of the Six Paths of Pain, could almost easily defeat Uchiha Fugaku in front of him. I just don't know what kind of eye power Fugaku has.

"The Rinnegan? We saw it when they captured the Nine-Tails, but after only a few moves, the Rinnegan user and Black Zetsu were defeated and forced to flee by Gen. I admit, I, Fugaku, might struggle against them, but Gen has quite a few subordinates who can defeat them."

Madara, that old relic, is ultimately out of touch with the times. He still thinks that top-tier warriors from the Warring States period could still dominate the present? Times have changed, Madara~

"What? Fleeing in disarray? Are you sure you're talking about Rinnegan user? How is that possible?" Even though Nagato's Rinnegan was transplanted, his combat power might even surpass mine, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyo. And yet he was forced to flee in defeat? Doesn't that mean that the Fugaku Uchiha Gen mentioned already possessed pseudo- Six Paths power, or even Six Paths level strength?

But how could that be? The Senju clan was wiped out. Without Asura cells, his Uchiha Clan descendant, whom Senju Clan had never met, shouldn't have been able to awaken the Rinnegan. How could he possess Six Paths level strength without awakening the Rinnegan? With the current bloodline of the Uchiha Clan, it shouldn't be possible to break through this bottleneck, right?

"Anything is possible. I can't say exactly why, but that guy's strength changes every now and then. You can't judge him by ordinary standards. With your current strength, Madara-senpai, Gen probably wouldn't be able to Teuchi."

Sigh~ Gen may have already forged a new path, but unfortunately I don't have that kind of talent, so I can only honestly follow the old path of the Uchiha Clan.

"Is that Uchiha Gen you're talking about really that powerful? Back in our time, only Senju Hashirama could rival my brother's strength. You haven't seen him fight, so you're just exaggerating, right?" In Izuna's heart, his brother was the strongest. Even Senju Hashirama was only barely holding on with an excess of Chakra.

"Indeed, Fugaku, Madara's strength has far surpassed that of a clan leader. Even if I and Butsuma combined, we wouldn't be a match for him. That kid named Uchiha Gen should have some strength, but whether he can compare to Madara remains to be seen."

Some random guy you've never even heard of thinks he can step on my son, Uchiha Tajima? That's a huge boast. Madara is already stronger than I can comprehend; how could anyone be stronger than Madara right now? Absolutely impossible.

"Tajima, your analogy is excellent. This also applies to Genji. Even Madara and Senju Hashirama combined wouldn't be a match for Gen. Genji's strength far surpasses the level of Super Kage. Clan Head Shimada and Izuna- senpai might not have a good grasp of this distinction. Your so-called clan head level is probably equivalent to Pseudo-Kage or Approaching Kage Level. After all, many Ninjutsu hadn't been invented in your time, so your combat power can't be compared to today's. Above Kage Level, there's Super Kage Level. Historically, Madara and Senju Hashirama were at that level, and I'm at that level now. Above that, there's another level, and Gen is at that level. Clan Head Shimada's so-called clan head level is somewhat inadequate by today's standards."

Sigh, after all, they're old-fashioned, so it's understandable that they lack knowledge. During the Warring States period, each clan kept their Ninjutsu secret. Unlike now, where Ninja Academy offer mass training, Senju Tobirama even used his power to force various ninja clans to hand over some of their Ninjutsu. Although they were mostly scraps, the sheer quantity made up for it.

While it's true that secret techniques from different clans are difficult to pass on nowadays, ordinary Ninjutsu isn't exactly top secret anymore. Kakashi, for example, has copied over a thousand Ninjutsu...

"What?! A clan leader-level powerhouse has fallen to this level? They can't even hold onto the second tier? Terrifying~" What a terrifying era! It's a good thing such a powerhouse appeared in my Uchiha Clan, hahahahaha, Butsuma -chan, it's a pity you didn't get to see him. What a shame.

"Beyond the Kage level? In that case, I might not be a match for that Uchiha Gen." So it really is the Six Paths? How did Uchiha Gen manage to do that? Is there another path to the Six Paths besides the Rinnegan?

"So, Madara-senpai, join us. We're all from the Uchiha Clan, and everything we do is for the Uchiha Clan. With Minamoto here, the Akatsuki won't be able to cause any trouble. We just need to focus on building up the Land of Snow."

I can't pry into Gen's method of increasing strength, but following Madara Uchiha's path is fine too. Now that both I and Itachi have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, we've met half the prerequisites for the Rinnegan. If we can obtain Hashirama Cells from Madara and successfully transplant them into Itachi, my son might indeed have the potential for Rinnegan!

"Let's see. I'll be staying in the Land of Snow for a while, but I also need to investigate Black Zetsu's area. Since that Uchiha Gen has told you everything, you should know that my Rinnegan is still there."

Although I don't know how Uchiha Gen reached the Six Paths level, I'm definitely no match for him right now. However, there are different levels of strength within the Six Paths level. Once I become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, what can Uchiha Gen, an ordinary Six Paths level cultivator, compare to me? What's the point of building that damned Land of Snow then? I, Madara Uchiha, have no interest in such a harsh and cold place. I'll just follow my will and use the Land of Fire as a base to flatten the Ninja World.

"Alright, then you can go and take a look around the Land of Snow of Land of Snow. By the way, it's best not to cause trouble there. Did you see that girl over there? Don't let her harmless appearance fool you, her strength is inhuman." To avoid trouble, Uchiha Fugaku made sure to give these unruly seniors a heads-up beforehand.
