Inviting Uchiha Madara

He was humming a song.

Thinking that carrying someone is too tiring and that he's not their father, he found a stick and used it as a carrying pole to hoist it onto his shoulder.

Uchiha Obito, whose entire body was covered in Juinjutsu, was suspended from a carrying pole by a rope.

As he walked, Senju Muzoku suddenly stopped. He looked down and saw Uchiha Obito's angry face.

"That little expression of yours doesn't make me feel very comfortable," said the Senju Muzoku One thoughtfully. "Making that face, you're taking advantage of me in a way."

Chakra coiled around his five fingers as he reached out and grabbed at Uchiha Obito's face.

When he removed his hand, Uchiha Obito had already changed his face.

Yes, it's Uchiha Madara's...

"That's more comfortable." The Senju Muzoku nodded in satisfaction, picked up the carrying pole, and continued walking.

This time, he walked with particular enthusiasm.

Because he was in a good mood, he changed the song he was humming to "Where is the Road Ahead?"

The streets were deserted, not a soul in sight, except for the off-key chant of Senju Muzoku man. "You carry the load, I lead the horse..."

Calling it a street is really too much of an exaggeration; "ruins" would be more appropriate.

The northern district was where Uchiha Obito first started causing trouble, and it's also where he's been active ever since. With the Senju Clan brothers' meddling in things, a major reconstruction is inevitable.

"Look at you, how wicked you are!" Senju Muzoku said to Uchiha Obito. "You've ruined the house we worked so hard to build."

Uchiha Obito, but remained silent.

After all, their mouths were sealed shut, so they couldn't even curse.

He now understood why the old men of Kumogakure would grit their teeth whenever they mentioned the person in front of them.

He now feels like he could swallow Senju Muzoku heart whole.

However, amidst his anger, Uchiha Obito was also considering the situation.

After this experience, he was certain that Leaf Village's strength now far surpassed that of the other villages.

Even without Uchiha Shingen, Leaf Village still possesses an absolute advantage.

In this situation, it would be impossible for the other villages to truly unite and attack Leaf Village. Everyone believed that things were unpredictable and that their turn to strike would eventually come.

Today it's Sand Village, tomorrow it might be Hidden Mist Village, Iwagakure Cloud Village —they could all reverse course.

Uchiha Obito decided that he would no longer target Leaf Village; it was pointless.

Ultimately, as long as one possesses absolute power, the Eye of the Moon can still be achieved.

Uchiha Obito closed his eyes, no longer looking at the Senju Muzoku.

Although his plan was disrupted, he still succeeded. The fact that several villages were still at war indirectly weakened the power of the larger villages and reduced the resistance he faced.

Now, all I can think about is how to escape.

Even the current Hidden Leaf Village wouldn't keep these few Impure World Reincarnation; otherwise, their allies would choose to rebel against Leaf Village out of fear to protect themselves.

This is like smashing everyone's bowl.

This problem is easy for Hidden Leaf Village right now.

After humming a song, the Senju Muzoku suddenly realized there was no sound, so he curiously looked down.

Yes, you're still alive, that's good.

He carried Uchiha Obito and hurried towards the Hokage Rock.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.

"Master Wu Zu?"

"A monkey?" Senju Muzoku looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise. "Where's your good apprentice? I'm not trying to be mean, but you've really messed up, getting beaten up like this by your own apprentice."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the "carrying pole" on Senju Muzoku's shoulder and the "goods" he was carrying, and his old face twitched.

Excellent! I haven't seen this scene in years.

It has to be you!

"That traitor is gone, Lord Wu Zu," Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. "He said he had fulfilled his promise. Ha... I thought I was going to lose my life here today."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was experiencing a mix of emotions regarding Orochimaru.

Without a doubt, Orochimaru's strength has surpassed his.

However, Orochimaru's contempt for Leaf Village was also undisguised.

Seeing his disciple, whom he had nurtured in his youth and believed would inherit everything from him, turn out like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, to be honest, couldn't really say that this was Orochimaru's inherently cold-hearted nature.

He had some idea how things had turned out this way.

"Why are you looking so dejected?" Senju Muzoku was displeased. "Monkey, raise your head higher."

"Ah, Lord Wu Zu..."

"I told you guys back in school, right? Flipping the table is a sign of incompetence, because you can't compete fairly with others under the existing rules, so you just want to quit," said Senju Muzoku. "But your apprentice, to be honest, he's simply not interested in these things at all. It's not like that at all. You're just unlucky as his teacher."

"Yes..." Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a very low mood.

He knew, of course, that Orochimaru wasn't just flipping the table; he was genuinely no longer interested in Hidden Leaf Village.

My former beloved disciple has become completely obsessed with pursuing the truth represented by Ninjutsu, and has abandoned all ethics and morality for it.

He also abandoned his master, his companions, and his disciples.

His return this time is merely to prove one thing to his teacher—he is not a stray dog, he simply doesn't want Leaf Village anymore.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was once known as "Professor," this was the biggest blow.

"Look at you, dawdling like that." Senju Muzoku, handed the "carrying pole" to Sarutobi Hiruzen. "Take this, take the man back, I'm not going to care anymore."

The force was a bit too much; Uchiha Obito's butt slammed to the ground, tearing his pants.

Uchiha Obito seemed oblivious, his eyes still closed—even naked, he wouldn't interact with Senju Muzoku.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took the "carrying pole" and found it a bit of an eyesore.

"Then... Lord Wu Zu, where are you going?"

"I've discovered a great genius in the Uchiha Clan," Senju Muzoku. "I've decided to instill the Will of Fire in him. Alright, shut up, I know what you're trying to say."

Having said that, before Sarutobi Hiruzen a word, he had already vanished in a flash.

Sarutobi Hiruzen his mouth, then shook his head. He first untied Uchiha Obito from the "carrying pole," and then stuck the Adamantine Staff into the ground.

In an instant, the Adamantine Staff transformed back into the Enma.

"Enma, come with me to the Uchiha Clan." Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Uchiha Obito, having already made up his mind.

The war had already begun, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, he pretended not to know that this was an Uchiha Clan.

He's an old man nearing seventy, confused his whole life, so one more thing won't make a difference.

Chapter 47 Inviting Uchiha Madara

Outside Hidden Leaf Village, the two were walking back, seemingly leisurely.

Suddenly, the two stopped in their tracks, and Black Zetsu emerged from the ground in front of them.

"Lord Madara, the battle is over. Hidden Leaf Village has won a complete victory," Black Zetsu said.

"There's no need to waste time on such nonsense." Uchiha Madara had no interest in it.

Although the three Hashirama brothers were Hashirama Impure World Reincarnation form and their strength was far less than when they were alive, it still depended on who their opponent was.

Defeating Madara Uchiha Madara and his Uchiha Clan, and then dealing with those outside trash, wouldn't be a piece of cake?

"Lord Madara, what do we do next?"

"Let's go." Madara Uchiha said sparingly.

But his next sentence revealed that he was actually just being very sparing with words when it came to Black Zetsu.

"Kid, you should have pressed your advantage earlier." After changing the subject, Uchiha Madara became very interested. "There aren't many Ninjutsu that can counter Impure World Reincarnation. Your fighting attitude didn't do justice to your technique."

After the battle ended, Uchiha Shingen stopped the Ninigi-no-Mikoto, Uchiha Madara's leg returned to normal.

As a Rinnegan eye technique, compared to Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha in the original timeline, his eye technique is also a typical functional eye technique, which does not have much destructive power.

Uchiha Madara's Limbo: Border Jail: Border Jail, Uchiha Sasuke's Amenotejikara, and even Kaguya Otsutsuki's Yomotsu Hirasaka, are all functional types.

That's why Uchiha Shingen didn't care whether he was exposed or not.

Compared to those other techniques, Ninigi-no-Mikoto's abilities are slightly more flashy. He can cut objects within a certain range around Uchiha Shingen, and he can also stretch or compress space, but the affected objects themselves are not actually harmed.

Of course, there are drawbacks as well. It inevitably consumes a lot of Chakra, and it only takes effect after Uchiha Shingen directly touches the target.

Even without physical contact, Chakra will suffice.

For Uchiha Shingen and could kill or cripple people in various ways, this ability to avoid being hurt was somewhat useless. So even though he had fully awakened this Dōjutsu, he didn't use it often, unless he encountered a situation where there were no other Ninjutsu that could replace it.

However, with the help of this Dōjutsu, he can achieve an effect similar to Absolute Defense, and can also ignore the enemy's defense to cut the target apart.

However, judging from Uchiha Madara's evaluation of this Dōjutsu along the way, it was clear that his attitude was mostly positive.

"Clan Chief Madara, I've never been particularly interested in battle," said Uchiha Shingen. "Winning and losing are nothing compared to the importance of daily life."

"Is this your reason for doing all these things all these years?" Uchiha Madara at Uchiha Shingen. "Are you that short of money?"

To be honest, Uchiha Madara didn't quite understand this point.

Whether it was what he saw and heard in the Uchiha Clan Compound or the narration from Black Zetsu, it all reflects that Uchiha Shingen had high demands for his quality of life and his way of thinking was not quite like that of a ninja. Rather than using his already powerful strength, he actually preferred to solve problems by making money.

Uchiha Madara had absolutely no reason to agree with this.

After all, he spent most of his life as a ninja during the Warring States period, when people became ninjas primarily to gain stronger survival skills and protect their families.

The ninja community truly transformed into a mature military contractor during the Kunimura era.

This stems from a generational gap.

Not only has the purpose of ninjas changed, but even though it has only been a few decades, the material standard of living enjoyed by ninjas in modern major countries is completely different from that of the late Warring States period.

Even in Sunagakure, Jonin to the elite system, the Jonin of Sand Village lived quite well, and in fact, due to the centralized supply of resources, they lived even more luxuriously than the Jonin of Leaf Village.

After all, once a certain Kazekage turned Sand Ninjutsu into a money-printing machine, Sunagakure was never short of money. While money couldn't completely solve an organization's resource needs, it could certainly solve any personal lifestyle needs.

As the two probed each other through conversation, Black Zetsu remained silent.

It was clear to him that Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Shingen had absolutely nothing in common on this point.

Although both of them grew up in the Warring States period, Uchiha Madara's time stopped after Uchiha Izuna's death; he still lived in that Warring States period where the cold moon shone on white bones.

Meanwhile, the former Ghost Senju has made great strides forward and has now become the beloved Vice President of the Land of Fire Money Exchange Traders Association.

In the distance, the border of Hidden Leaf Village had already appeared.

The Rock Ninja and Cloud Ninja troops are no longer here, but where the high wall once stood, only parts of the wall remain, and the people of Hidden Leaf Village are clearing it away.

Upon seeing someone approaching from afar, Konoha Ninja immediately drew near.

Upon seeing who it was, the ninjas lowered their guard and respectfully stopped a short distance in front of Uchiha Shingen.

And the way they looked at Uchiha Madara was filled with even more awe.

Now everyone knows that this time the enemy took the wrong medicine before leaving home, using the Impure World Reincarnation to resurrect four big shots from the village's founding era.

They successfully turned their plan to attack Leaf Village into a plan where whoever attacks Leaf Village will suffer.

The main reason is that there are two big shots among them.

The God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

The other was the former Leaf Village Asura, Uchiha Madara.

Compared to Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara's stance during his lifetime was much more ambiguous. Most people today only know that this man later disagreed with the God of Shinobi and left Hidden Leaf Village.

However, Uchiha Madara was never labeled Leaf Village missing-nin. To people of his time, Uchiha Madara remained Konoha Ninja until he disappeared from the Ninja World.

Everyone calls him Leaf Village Asura.

This time, the big boss didn't attack Hidden Leaf Village. Instead, he slaughtered a bunch of Mist Ninja in the southern part of the city and even killed the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village.

So, nobody would believe that Uchiha Madara was an enemy of Hidden Leaf Village.
