Madara, You Can't Let Me Enter the Second Stage Like This

Kitsuchi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the natural energy crystal in his hand that had been reinforced by layers of fuinjutsu techniques.

This was the seventy-second sigh he had sighed at the natural energy crystal today.

The amazing energy contained in the natural energy crystals really scared him.

But this is not enough to make Kitsuchi so in and out... what is really scary is that it is the political and economic significance behind it.

The current Kage and the Kage of the past were completely different.

In the past, the Kage only needed to be able to fight, put up a big banner, and naturally there were ninjas who came over to eat their paychecks.

But not anymore.

This guy Makoto was crazily introducing all sorts of new things and concepts, and the status of the traditional ninja had dropped again and again. If they were only limited to the comfort zone of the ninja world, they would soon be eliminated.

Nowadays, Kage had to consider not only the ninja, but also the whole world.

It was clear that natural energy crystals and chakra centers would be the future direction of the world's energy - the two were not in conflict, and could even complement each other, just like the normal ninja's chakra and immortal modes.

In this case, the benefits seized by ninjas would be completely unimaginable.

Because energy is used all over the world, in all walks of life.

It's only a few dollars if you kill someone.

Not counting Makoto's ancestral 100 billion, the topmost S-ranked mission is only a few tens of millions of ryo - to kill such an opponent, you have to be prepared to be killed back.

But energy really was making money every second.

According to Kitsuchi's judgment, if any Ninja Village could eat this benefit alone, as long as no Super Kage level monsters appeared, it would inevitably be able to completely unify the Ninja World.

It didn't even require much maneuvering.

It wasn't any different from turning on the blue and green modifiers.

Even if it was split with the other ninja villages, the benefits could be so large that it could revolutionize all up and down the Iwagakure - this was the profit of the entire world!

Apart from the Arasaka Corporation, which was a platform and had long since infiltrated every industry, Kitsuchi couldn't think of any company that could go head-to-head with a company that dealt with natural energy crystals.

...However, this was also the problem.

With such a large benefit, Loess Earth would be moved, let alone the Nobles.

The Nobles were unaware of it before because they didn't understand Ninjutsu. But as the scale of the energy company continued to spread, the other party would definitely realize the benefits.

They will definitely find a way to come and intervene in... other things as well, this kind of thing, the ninja will agree?

Anyway, Kitsuchi's heart was absolutely unwilling to agree.

But if they don't agree, then such a huge profit will inevitably make the relationship between the Ninja village and the country it belongs to deteriorate in the extreme, or even become enemies.

Someone who wanted to be the world's man, of course it didn't matter if it worsened or not. As long as the Ninja world could eat those profits alone, there were naturally people who would support him.

But Kitsuchi himself was not willing to break with the Daimyo... his ass forbidding him to do so.

But then again, as long as someone wasn't stupid, he would definitely use this profit to contact other Ninja villages.

Or even the Akatsuki Organization - because the Akatsuki Organization's political stance is that ninjas control everything and kick all the useless nobodies into the dustbin of history.

And as long as he proposed it, Sand Hidden and Kiri would definitely vote in favor of it.

Kumo's words... were not easy to say, but there didn't seem to be much of an opposing position either.

If only Iwagakure opposed it, that would be isolating Iwagakure from the Five Kages Summit - there are progressives in Iwagakure too! Kitsuchi himself was!

At that time, seeing the other ninja villages eating and drinking, only they have nothing to eat, the bottom ninja will definitely have a lot of grievances, and will even start a downward spiral.

If someone is to abbreviate another wave of words...

"The previous strategy is to promise heavy benefits, in order to disassociate the individual, that guy is good, directly to the economy as an arrow, to the power of the pressure... this let me how to resist?"

Someone gradually became disobedient, but it was other ninja villages who were forced to a dead end.

Originally, everyone was swimming in the muck, getting by. Instead, someone was forcing them to choose between a Ninja village and a country.

Kitsuchi didn't want to choose either one, but he knew very clearly that he had to choose one.

In the near future, the country and the ninja village will eventually have a battle to decide who is the king and who is the mount... Don't want to be a wall rider! This is the most important political faction dispute since the samurai withdrew from the stage of history!

If it does come to pass, it will be the return of the daimyo, and the ninja will rule the world instead of the daimyo.

If it partially succeeds, it will also be the ninja seizing central power and engaging in a long and bitter political struggle with the local remnants.

As for losing... how?

As long as a certain famous imposter can't stand up to the moral pressure of making the whole world a living hell, he can't lose.

Like Pain, take out the daimyo and the government by direct name first, then force the surrender or kill all the major corps. The next thing... to do is to give the cell phone to the rookies, and it's about time they knew what to do.

Surely the masters must perform better than the rookies. It can be fully successful, and people certainly don't think about partial success...

"Why did this have to happen to me?"

Kitsuchi slapped his thigh heavily.

"Is it really necessary to let Kurotsuchi marry that dead loli-con... no way... absolutely not..."

"In any case, it's better to strengthen the guard of our own country and our village recently! Everyone be careful!"

... ...

Kitsuchi was in unprecedented pain because of a small piece of natural chakra crystal, while Makoto continued to walk on his path.

After saying goodbye to the Black Zetsu, he began to execute his plan.

He sent someone to inform Chiyo-baasama to come over, and in the meantime of waiting, he first sought out Hyuuga Hiashi.

In Hokage office, the two sat opposite each other. Makoto didn't hide anything and directly stated his demands.

"I remember that you, the Hyuuga clan, also have some ninja who are too old to continue fighting, right?"

The Hyuuga clan had a perverted desire to protect their own bloodline, and after so many years in the ninja world, there hadn't been a few Byakugan passed out in total.

Even if a ninja retired due to injury, the Hyuuga clan would continue to protect their eyes.

But since it is a family, it means that a lot of things can be talked about... And to be precise, what Makoto wants is not Byakugan either, but Byakugan pupil power.

"Yes, thanks to your care, they are doing quite well."

Hyuuga Hiashi said so and bowed slightly to Makoto.

As a large family, the Hyuuga clan's ninjas who were disabled and injured would also receive a certain amount of care from their own family, something that non-family ninjas could not enjoy.

The family's care, coupled with the pension given by Makoto, made it possible for this group of ninjas to live out their old age in peace as well.

"That's good... I need their pupils now, I don't need more, just give me one each."

Makoto decided to make up for the lack of Tenseigans.

For a long time, Makoto's Tenseigans had always been in an imperfect state. He actually knew that the best way to return the Tenseigan to its perfect state was to obtain the Byakugan pupil power of the Hyuuga clan.

In the original work, Otsutsuki Toneri was the one who seized Hanabi's Byakugan.

-This guy Toneri is really strong, and his emotional intelligence is really low. It's not good for you to steal someone's attention. If you steal a little girl;s eyes, then can Hinata not be impatient with you? Even if you just grab Hinata's, you'll get Stockholm Syndrome...

Makoto is not so troublesome, he talked directly to the Hyuuga clan.

What he wants is actually pupil power, not eyes. And retired ninjas basically don't use their Byakugan much anymore, let alone just one - Hanabi's eyes ended up being snatched back again, so the dojutsu type kekkei genkai in the Naruto world are actually hot plugs and unplugged?...

Not to mention the broken thoughts in Makoto's mind, Makoto opened his mouth with a Byakugan, which made Hyuuga Hiashi startled.

But after listening clearly to Makoto's request, Hyuuga Hiashi fell into a deep thought again.

Makoto taking away the eyes was to be used, in fact it was almost like destroying the eyes. The Hyuuga clan's concern was the exodus of the bloodline, so if it was simply destruction, it wasn't completely unacceptable.

Moreover, if everyone just had one eye... ninja five senses were far stronger than ordinary people, one eye would be enough to deal with the trivialities of life without the need to fight.

"Anyone's eye will do?"

"It doesn't matter, but the higher the purity of the bloodline, the better."

It was the one used in the original work, and there was no need to say much about the purity of Hinabi's bloodline. However, Makoto's current situation was a bit different from the Toneri's, he had already obtained the Tenseigan, so he wasn't forced to do anything to separate the family clan.

Hyuuga Hiashi pondered for a while longer, and eventually felt that this deal could be done.

It was harsh, but it was reality. The Godaime Hokage had asked, there was no way he wouldn't give it. Moreover... this could also gain some benefits for those retired Hyuuga ninja.

There were certainly gentle ninjas in the world, yet what most ninjas chased after consciously or unconsciously was still power. Those ninja who retired due to injuries were actually mostly at the bottom of the ninja world.

Their age and physical state mostly could no longer do anything, and if they could pay for an eye and gain a lot of benefits, it wouldn't be a bad idea... Their lives would soon come to an end, while their friends and family as well as their children still needed to continue to live...

"Personally, I don't have a problem with it, as long as it's a voluntary donation... can I take the liberty of asking, Hokage-sama, what do you want Byakugan for?"

In fact, this question is the first thing that should be asked.

But now that the reputation of the Godaime Hokage is growing, Hyuuga Hiashi is after the promise, feeling Makoto in a good mood, this is the only time to ask it.

"Of course it's to make the Tenseigans perfect... You should recognize these eyes, right?"

Makoto's eyes instantly turned a white color.

Hyuuga Hiashi's back stiffened, and his eyes showed a little bit of longing again.

"These eyes..."

But unfortunately, without giving him a chance to take a closer look, Makoto put away the Tenseigans - this thing was still too powerful even with the seal added to it, and Makoto didn't dare to freely release it in a non-combat situation.

"I still have a use for these eyes, I can't give them to you, but I can marry a daughter of the Hyuuga clan."

The Hyuuga clan was actually a good little brother, it was big, but acted in a very wimpy style, very self-conscious as a little brother.

If there was no absolute reason for Makoto's Hyuuga clan to continue to exist.

But the Hyuuga clan's desire for bloodlines was more or less tainted with insanity - in that case, let's just give it to them.

Whether or not his kind of gifted Tenseigans were hereditary, Makoto couldn't be sure. But the opportunity he had given, and if he hadn't earned it, that would be their Hyuuga clan's own problem.

"Also, I can help you with some of your troubles - for example, those Elders who are restraining you at all times."

"Of course, I'll be happy if you give me their eyes directly."

The elders of the Hyuuga clan were the most troublesome guys Makoto had ever seen, and Hyuuga Hiashi himself wasn't that old; his thinking was actually still relatively new, and was more receptive to Makoto's transformation of Hyuuga clan.

It is that group of old codgers who should have popped gold coins a long time ago that have been holding him back... For Makoto, a large scale transformation of the ancient ninja clan is a must, and for Hyuuga Hiashi, he can only fully gain the rights of the clan head if all of that group of old things die out.

In this regard, the Uchiha and Hyuuga were different.

Because once the Uchiha Clan patriarch awakened the Mangekyo, he can completely distance himself from the elders with three tomoe Sharingan. And Hyuuga patriarch, and the elders gap is not big...

Makoto had wanted to plan a little longer, to make the plan a little silkier. But the speed of the heart demon's collapse far exceeded expectations, and he didn't bother to pretend anymore.

Hyuuga Hiashi's face was vaguely smiling, but there was a real amount of sweat on his forehead.

Finally, he spoke with difficulty.

"Your meaning, I already understand, but please allow me to think for a few days..."

"One day, I'll give you one day at most."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Hyuuga Hiashi agreed loudly, and continued.

"In the case of Hanabi, I will explain to the Lady, and I will send her to your mansion... but please give me a little more time, after all, if this matter is concerned... as a mother, it's more or less a bit burdensome..."

...Hey?

Anyone can do it, there's no need for it to have to be Hinabi! Even if my sister-in-law's birth date is earlier than the original, how old is she now!

Hey, my reputation is bad enough, but I don't want to become a personification of feces like Third Brother!

... ...

A day later, Kakashi handed five test tubes to Makoto.

Contained inside were the Hyuuga clan's Byakugan.

Although they were all Byakugan, the aura inside was clearly different.

Especially one of the Byakugan, not only is the purity very high, the pupil power is also unexpectedly abundant, obviously not an ordinary Jonin all...

"It's rare that Hiashi would make such a great determination... How is it handled, Kakashi?"

"The elders of the Hyuuga clan are at peace."

...How do you say that like they were all treated by Gavial.

T/N: Gavial from Arknight

Still, Makoto understood what Kakashi was trying to say.

It was also unknown how Hiashi had communicated with the Hyuuga Elders, but it was clear that the Hyuuga Elders, who had always been very wimpy, wisely chose to back down after realizing that Hiashi had his support.

The Hyuuga civil war, which should have been extremely intense, came to fruition in a matter of minutes because of Makoto's meddling.

The Hyuuga Elders voluntarily backed down and handed over an eye.

And in the future... they will hand over more.

Hinata had clearly begun to grasp the rhythm, and since this was ultimately a family matter, Makoto naturally wouldn't say anything more.

He found Tsunade and asked her to help with the pupil power transfer work.

The pupil power transfer work was very successful.

From the surface, the Tenseigan didn't seem to be any different from before. However, Makoto could clearly perceive that the Tenseigan had become even stronger and more sensitive... If it wasn't for the seal being strong enough, it would have to break through the seal almost by itself alone.

Like Makoto thought, there was no turning back on some things.

Once the Tenseigan began to awaken, then he had to split the victory with the good soul early.

He simply couldn't manage the Tenseigan, and it was only a matter of time before the seal was broken by the Tenseigan.

Then... continue to act.

Chiyo-baasama, who had been hastily recruited by Makoto, came to his office.

After a brief negotiation, Chiyo-baasama wrote out the secret method of Hexenbiotic Reincarnation on the spot - Makoto's luck was good, the Chiyo-baasama of this era had already completed her research on the secret technique, she just didn't have the time to realize it because of Sasori's constant running around.

At the end of the day, Sasori died with his parent puppet, and then this jutsu that was developed specifically for him was also used on the body of Gaara, who died because of him.

If the Sasori had not left back then, perhaps he would have been reunited with his parents... The jaggedness of life is always like this.

Regardless of the grudges of the previous generation... just like this, Makoto got this forbidden art.

He opened the scroll and consulted it for a long time, and was deeply impressed by the talent of Chiyo-baasama.

-Almost the equivalent of seeing the big man blindfolded and passing a wolf with one hand.

In terms of strength, Chiyo-baasama was far inferior, and Makoto would have been able to completely crush Chiyo-baasama within ten seconds even if he hadn't used his illusions and relied on his five dimensions alone. But in terms of creativity, it really was Chiyo Brahma who unilaterally exploded to kill him... if you don't count his Six Desire Seperation Technique.

The next thing was simple.

Makoto expressed his desire for One's Own Life Reincarnation - of course, he wasn't whoring around for nothing, and he'd trade a few of Konoha's kinjutsu in exchange for this Suna kinjutsu.

Anyway, the last thing that Nidaime's collection lacked was kinjutsu.

And with the current relationship between Suna and Konoha... Suna wouldn't dare to refuse.

Chiyo-baasama didn't have much of an opinion on the transaction, but when the deal was finalized, she still couldn't help but add a few words.

"Makoto, I'm a bit older than you, and you're willing to call me granny, so I don't have a position against you. But there are some things that I still want you to understand."

"Granny, please speak."

"As you can see, this is an absolute kinjutsu. And when one grows old, one has an infinite fear of death... far beyond the fear imagined by you young people..."

"I understand what granny means. I won't pass this art on, I just want to do some research."

Humans would never be able to pass the Humanity Test.

Because the humanity test was never meant for humans to pass.

For people who were about to die, One's Own Life Reincarnation was truly a supreme treasure - not only could this thing be used to resurrect the dead, but it could also directly increase the lifespan of the living!

In terms of the number of resurrections, Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique finished off One's Own Life Reincarnation.

However, when it came to functionality, it was the One's Own Life Reincarnation that was stronger.

Those powerful old men would surely go to great lengths to obtain it and realize it.

The worst part was that One's Own Life Reincarnation didn't require that much from the recipient and was something that could be used multiple times.

Although it was hard to say whether it would hide special side effects like One's Own Life Reincarnation... But in front of the temptation to continue living, so what about the side effects?

If this jutsu were to be circulated, there would really be a big mess.

The replacement of old and new human beings would be fundamentally challenged, and it would be very difficult for the poor and the young to get ahead again.

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better."

Considering Makoto's age, Chiyo-baasama wasn't worried that Makoto was experimenting for immortality, which was a bit more likely, so she left.

Makoto, on the other hand, continued to study kinjutsu and gained some insight.

"It looks like... it's enough just to use One's Own Life Reincarnation."

In Makoto's plan, there were so many resurrection secret arts in the Ninja world. There was no need to have to use One's Own Life Reincarnation, it might not be impossible to try using other resurrection jutsu.

He didn't have very high expectations for the One's Own Life Reincarnation at first, but as he watched, he vaguely sensed some ways to modify the One's Own Life Reincarnation.

It involved the Yin-Yang release.

It was true that Makoto did not know how to do it, but the Good Soul did.

Both souls were, in the end, just one person, only that one was a little angel while the other was a little devil. Even across the Pure Land, the two sides were still exchanging information.

The physical arts that the Good Soul knew had been subtly influencing Makoto, while the Yin-Yang Release that the Good Soul knew was similarly influencing him.

One's Own Life Reincarnation was very subtle, and if Makoto were really to write it himself, he definitely wouldn't be able to write it. However, the more he viewed its contents, the more Makoto was able to find room for improvement - this was the secret guidance of the knowledge that the Good Soul would know.

Following this guidance, Makoto made certain modifications to his own life transmutation.

Only after determining that there was no room for change within a short period of time did he stop.

"Next... is to experiment a bit in the field..."

... ...

Makoto brought the coffin that hid Uchiha Madara's body, as well as a few evil fleeing ninja, to the mountains of the Land of Earth.

Once Makoto went out, the world was going to be in trouble, this was the consensus of everyone at the moment. Diplomats from various countries, both explicitly and implicitly, were keeping an eye on him.

This time, when he left Konoha, he would soon be found out by the diplomats and be alerted by them.

But for Makoto, this amount of time was enough.

After all, this time it wasn't him who acted, it was Uchiha Madara himself who acted...

After traveling through the mountains of Land of Earth for a while, Makoto quickly found a very deserted cave.

Makoto placed the coffin that hid Uchiha Madara's body on the ground, and then used it as the centerpiece to start tattooing formations and engravings everywhere.

Over the years, in order to achieve his goal, Black Zetsu had preserved Uchiha Madara's corpse quite well. At a cursory glance, it looked as if it was merely asleep.

After Makoto double-checked the state of his corpse and was convinced that the formations were correct, he used an illusion to control an escaped ninja and had him use One's Own Life Reincarnation on Uchiha Madara's corpse.

Makoto had carefully selected this fleeing ninja, his strength was not good, only Chunin, but he was young, only in his early twenties, it was the time when his blood and vitality were the most vigorous.

The biggest disadvantage of One's Own Life Reincarnation is that no matter what the result of the release, the user is bound to die. However, under Makoto's genjutsu, this ninja did not hesitate to pour his own life force into Uchiha Madara's body.

This was also the most difficult part of One's Own Life Reincarnation kinjutsu.

Its release was actually quite simple, after all, the target of the release would neither move nor resist. The real difficulty lies in the fact that it has to make the release fold draw out its own life to rekindle someone else's life...

A normal person wouldn't do that, of course.

But genjutsu completely replaced his own will.

One could only say that... Chiyo-baasama's concern was truly justified.

"Oo... oo... wow!"

With a miserable cry, the fleeing ninja who had released One's Own Life Reincarnation let out a cry of sorrow and collapsed to the ground. His body convulsed, and his originally young body became incomparably old, as if he had spent decades in the twinkling of an eye.

Such a wail did not last long, and after a few seconds, this ninja just died without a sound.

"Utilizing the theory of the Yin-Yang release, I made the power of One's Own Life Reincarnation stronger, so that even those who have died for many years may be resurrected. But this also gives this kinjutsu the possibility of failure... Good thing I prepared so many sacrifices, it should be enough, right?"

After absorbing the life force of that rouge ninja, the deathly aura on Uchiha Madara's body dissipated for the most part, and some of the redness characteristic of life even appeared on his originally gray skin, and his age in appearance even changed from a dying old man to a middle-aged man.

But Makoto can still feel that the soul of the other party has not really returned... then, continue to try again.

So Makoto harnessed the next unlucky egg, and once again urged One's Own Life Reincarnation.

The second time was also unsuccessful, but the practicality of the operation allowed Makoto's understanding of this kinjutsu to become deeper.

The transfer of life force was actually quite understandable, and the reason why One's Own Life Reincarnation had to kill a person was not actually for the recipient, but rather to open the gate to the Pure Land.

-The Pure Land temporarily opens the gates of the Pure Land when it attracts the souls of the dead. When the releaser dies, the body that has been re-energized because of the life force injected by the releaser will then suck out the original soul that is in the Pure Land, thus allowing the deceased to return.

The stronger the soul, the stronger the life, the more life force is needed, and the more difficult it is to let the soul return... Fortunately, the life of the rouge ninja is not a life.

This group of selfish people have done all the bad things, and it will not hurt Makoto if they die out.

With many experiments, Uchiha Madara's flesh that had been dormant for many years began to tremble once again. Makoto could clearly feel that there seemed to be something more in the originally empty shell.

-That was Uchiha Madara's own soul.

Seeing that the jutsu had succeeded, Makoto's mind instantly associated it with a certain possibility - to truly resurrect Namikaze Minato, as well as the previous Hokages.

But the thought was ultimately just a flash.

It wasn't the technology, or his ethics, but the Sage of Six Paths.

The jutsu had been proven to work, and Makoto was a moral vacuum, so it didn't matter about that at all.

However, the Six Paths Brothers... the two of them are not one person, but two people.

Theoretically, no matter how serious the injury was, as long as they didn't die at that time, then the Six Paths Brothers could make use of the extremely high caliber Yin-Yang release to heal each other.

Even when their lifespan was over, the two of them could find a way to make up for it.

If they really can't, they can even create a new body and transfer their souls over.

Makoto can do things, there is no reason why these two big brothers can not do.

With the Six Path brothers' abilities, they could totally rule the Naruto world until the end of time.

-Unless they don't want to do so themselves.

With birth comes death.

Perhaps that's what these two great men had in mind.

An eternal supreme being would actually hinder the development of society in some ways.

-Just as third brother's laundry factory was so cheap that the washing machine froze and could not be promoted.

Indeed, young beings make many mistakes. However, in the field of science, many discoveries and innovations are the result of "mistakes".

The temporary resurrection of the obscene earth is fine, but I'm afraid that large-scale resurrection is not something that the Sage of Six Paths would like to see.

The Hokages' probably have similar concerns.

If the Hokage can come back, then Hokage guards, as well as whether Hokage's family and friends can also come back... Then it would really be all messed up.

"If we can travel the sea of stars as well as the Otsutsuki clan in the future, then resurrecting the dead would be favorable."

"The dead will leave the Naruto world and head off to explore unknown realms so that they won't be competing with their descendants for a place... But it's still too early to tell."

Makoto pressed down the restless thoughts in his mind and regained his composure.

He stared dead at the corpse in the coffin, waiting for him to wake up.

"I actually... came back to life?"

With a strange sigh of terseness, Uchiha Madara sat up from the coffin, and he sat there dumbfounded, his pupils filled with doubt.

-Uchiha Madara's chakra eyes were still with Pain, and he was now using the ordinary eyes that Makoto had temporarily gouged out of the rouge ninja's body.

This would obviously make Uchiha Madara very uncomfortable, and because of the lack of matching, this pair of eyes might be damaged before long, but at this time he couldn't care less.

"It's you guy... who resurrected me?"

Uchiha Madara looked towards Makoto, who was not far away.

Using the real physical body and using Edo Tensei were two completely different feelings, Uchiha Madara had already been Edo Tensei'd once, and he was well aware of the difference.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he understood that he had come back to life.

Moreover, restored to his prime.

That vitality of life contained within his body could not be faked in any way.

However, Uchiha Madara was still a bit puzzled - he couldn't figure out why Makoto wanted to revive him.

During the ultimate insult to Obito earlier, both sides had basically turned their cards over.

Uchiha Madara knew very well that his goal had been completely seen through by Makoto. And given Makoto's position, it was completely impossible for him to be on his side.

So, what did he resurrect him for?

To mock him once again?

Uchiha Madara climbed out of the coffin, his expression cold to the core.

Makoto, however, didn't care that much and directly threw a large bottle of Spirits to Uchiha Madara.

"Come, try our Konoha's good liquor."

Uchiha Madara slapped off the clay seal and drank the spirits in one go.

"Good wine... this is what it feels like to come alive!"

If it were someone else, they really might not drink it.

But Uchiha Madara was different.

This really was a man of immense pride.

He would not allow himself to show his cowardice in front of anyone.

In the vast world, he only looked up to the Shodaime Hokage, Hashirama.

A few moments later, Uchiha Madara drank a large bottle of wine all by himself.

"What a nice wine... I really didn't expect to be able to drink it after many years - boy, tell us your true intentions!"

"There's really no particular intention, it's just..." Makoto revealed a harmless expression, "a bit boring."

"...Boring?"

Uchiha was slightly surprised.

"Yes, really boring. All of them, they are too weak to let me experience the fun of fighting."

"Actually, a long time ago, I hated fighting. Because fighting means injuries and death, even if it's me, I could be buried by a sea of people. But as I became stronger and stronger, I instead kind of miss fighting... that state of forcing out all the potential, with the spirit and will highly concentrated, and adrenaline wildly secreted... is just too wonderful."

As usual, Makoto didn't tell the truth, and regular people wouldn't agree with Makoto, but Uchiha Madara was different.

This guy was really a martial arts nerd.

He truly loved fighting and the feeling of burning passion. Even if it was an enemy, he was willing to recognize the excellence and power of the enemy.

He loved fighting so much - so much that the other Uchiha clansmen couldn't stand him.

"...Oh? So, you sought me out as an opponent?"

"Yes, in this world there are only you and the Shodaime Hokage, qualified to be my opponent. But Hashirama he... no matter what, he is also the Hokage, it's impossible for him to lay a death hand on me. Therefore, the one who can play with me is only you - I want to try to see if the legendary Uchiha Madara, is really that powerful."

"Hahahahaha... hahahahahaha!"

Uchiha Madara sniffed and began to laugh maniacally.

He laughed as if he had encountered the funniest thing in the world.

"Junior, who are you underestimating - I will make you regret your decision today!"

"Please!"

Uchiha threw the bottle fiercely on the ground, and with the crisp cracking sound of the bottle, the two of them directly began their ninjutsu sparring.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique!"

Makoto didn't pull out the Pink Fluffy Bunny Rabbit, but instead chose to use Suiton.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Boom!

The mountains of Land of Earth began to shake.
