Chapter 305 Itachi and Madara!
"Itachi is a great ninja."
In the Hokage Office, Hiruzen gave a long sigh, unconsciously thinking of a reliable companion before.
Uchiha Kagami.
He was the first person to advocate integration into Konoha, and now Uchiha Yuan is, in a sense, he is the successor of the Kagami will.
Like Itachi, Uchiha Kagami dedicated his all to Konoha.
Even when he died, he was arranging Sasuke's life--
If he dies in the hand of his brother, Sasuke, who kills the S-rank rebel, can return to Konoha, and Konoha will get a powerful ninja with an eternal Mangekyo.
That's what Itachi thought.
Before the change, Hiruzen would very much approve of Itachi's idea, but now, the example of 'Orochimaru' in the comics makes Hiruzen reject this approach.
The more people are arranged to walk according to their expectations, the more they will have different ideas.
The same is true for Sasuke.
He was not a simple child, he had his own thoughts and ideas, so how could he obediently follow Itachi's expectations?
In the end, it may be counterproductive.
But the Eternal Mangekyo, Konoha would be terrific if they could tinker with this thing!
Of course, it's only his delusion.
Everyone knows it is too difficult to get these kinds of eyes. Even Madara has to rely on his younger brother's eyes to evolve his Mangekyo. Uchiha now only has Yuan and Ensho who can use Mangekyo. Even if Uchiha wants to try, Konoha will not agree.
At this moment, there were a series of footsteps outside, followed by a Chunin who hurriedly entered his office in panic: "Hokage-sama, no...it's not good!"
"What happened?"
Hiruzen frowned slightly. He remembered that this Chunin was a teacher at the Ninja Academy, responsible for the education of those children.
"Those children are holding a funeral for Uchiha Itachi on campus. We can't help but come over and ask you."
The Chunin teacher said ashamed.
The Third Hokage shouldn't be asked for such trivial matters, but they really can't persuade the children.
This time, it's Hiruzen's turn to be shocked.
A Funeral?
He immediately asked again: "Who is taking the lead?"
"Yes...yes, it's Uchiha Fugaku."
The Chunin teacher covered his face.
"..."
Hearing it, Hiruzen has a weird face.
Uchiha Fugaku, this child seems to be the father of "Itachi" in the comic. From this aspect, is it okay for him to be the one leading the funeral?...
No, Itachi is a comic character, so they can have a funeral!
But why Fugaku?
He thought for a while and said, "You find Yuan and let him solve the child's affairs."
"This…Yuan-sama said Uchiha has important things today, and he said he respects his son's decision."
The Chunin Teacher said weakly.
After hearing it, Hiruzen had a headache. Yuan, this guy also made trouble for him that made him scratch his head. As a result, a few more white hairs were scratched off…
Damn it!
Recently, I returned from recuperation but it started to fall again!
He had a headache for a while and waved his hand and said, "Since they are willing, so let them make trouble."
"Yes!"
The Chunin Teacher bowed his head and prepared to leave.
At this time, Hiruzen's brains glowed with a flash of light, and he immediately shouted, "Wait, you go to the Kurama clan to call Akabane and let him go to preside over the funeral. That is my order."
"Huh? Uh, all right."
The Chunin teacher didn't quite understand, but he did what he said and ran to the Kurama clan after going down.
Itachi is the light in the dark. Although he is at dawn, his heart is on Konoha's side. All thoughts are for Konoha's sake.
If children want to hold a funeral, it means that they approve of this spirit.
It deserves encouragement.
As for the reason that the Chunin teacher asked Akabane to get up and preside over it...
Why did these things happen?
The root was in Akabane. The kid had a lot of spooky ideas, so it would be best to let him take charge of the solution.
Hiruzen sat down and looked at the scene where Itachi pokes Sasuke again.
It was touching, and he even cried.
but...
The thought that the five-year-old Fugaku was holding the funeral of his unborn child, felt very strange.
….
In the Country Of Wind, in a dark cave.
Uchiha Madara took the newly acquired comic and slowly flipped through page by page.
He has two volumes in his hands, one is Jiraiya and Pain battle, and the other is Itachi and Sasuke's battle.
The Six-Paths of Pain...
Madara stopped at these pages.
Jiraiya vs Pain, the comics are interesting, but it is more about making Madara have different ideas-he just thought about creating a puppet to fight to avoid the main body from suffering.
As a result,
When he was just thinking about it, in today's comic, Kurama Akabane drew such a content, as if he had guessed what he was thinking!
Damn!
In the dark, a strange shadow swayed, seeming to be laughing.
Madara snorted and turned the page over, not clinging to the Six Paths of Pain, but continued to read.
He also understands the Sage Arts and the Sage Mode.
Back then, the strongest technique of Senju Hashirama was the Sage Mode. With one move of the Sage Arts with thousands of hands, his Susanoo and Nine Tails were hammered to death.
Even though he has his Shadow Limbo, but against Hashirama Sage Mode and Arts, it becomes useless.
If Konoha gets the power of the Sage Mode...
He didn't dare to think further, just as Akabane said, Madara is old after all, with little life span left, and his physical function will decline a little every time he fights--
At this point, Uzumaki Mito is the same.
Unconsciously, he read the whole volume.
"How is it?"
Black Zetsu sneered.
Madara ignored him and picked up another volume to read.
This book is a newly updated comic. If Black Zetsu didn't send it to him, he might not get it until tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow.
Seeing the title page, Madara couldn't help frowning.
On the title page, Itachi and Sasuke stand on two sides, and in the middle is a wild and unruly man with a strange Six-Tomoe in his eyes.
This is Madara himself.
He had some guesses about the plot, and he understood Black Zetsu's intentions better, but at this moment Madara didn't say a word and opened the cover to read it.
Itachi...
Madara has a special sentiment towards this role.
If Izuna was still alive, his life might be the same as Itachi, and he would do anything for his brother even if he was an enemy of Senju Hashirama.
However, many things in the world often backfire.
Madara failed to save his brother Izuna and even gave up revenge...
He put his hand on the page of the comics and did not turn to the next page for a long time. It took a full minute or two before turning to the next page in silence.
So similar!
Whether it is Itachi or Sasuke!
Turn page by page...
Even though he lived for decades, this scene really touched the softest part of Madan's heart.
It was precisely because he can relate that he understood better how painful Itachi's choice and mood were. This feeling... it felt like it was when Senju Hashirama asked himself to give up his hatred and join hands to build Konoha.
A painful choice.
Like Itachi, he loves his brother very much, but for the sake of peace, he gave up revenge and made Senju Tobirama the hero of Konoha, and failed to personally slash his enemy.
But when it turned to Itachi to explain the "experience" of "his", he couldn't help but sneer.
I killed Izuna for the sake of his eyes?
So that's how Senju Tobirama and his clan, full of losers, told the next generation!
Black Zetsu could feel how Madara suddenly exuded a terrifying murderous aura, and Madara's eyes were like a sword. He pursed his mouth but said nothing, and continued to read it.
The mystery of the Six-Tomoe Mangekyo is drawn on this, namely the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Will not lose light, the strongest pupil...
Without mentioning the specifics, it is estimated that it is all that kid's own guesses. Of course, it is estimated that there are some masterpieces of Senju Tobirama in it.
The Senju Clan did not spend much time studying the Sharingan, especially the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Upon reading it, Madara's movements of turning over the page became faster.
However, Black Zetsu could feel that Madara's mood swings were very intense, and this story had a great impact on him-not just about the eternal Mangekyo, but also the story of Itachi and Sasuke.
After he read it, Madara felt like Sasuke was Izuna.
Back then, Izuna, like Sasuke, had vowed to surpass him since childhood, saying that one day he would definitely defeat him, but he could not beat himself until the day Izuna died.
In the last scene, Itachi walked towards Sasuke strenuously.
But Itachi can't kill Sasuke...
Madara knows this very well but seeing Itachi poke Sasuke's forehead with his finger, he felt a little fuzzy in his vision... as if he was short-sighted.
Seeing it, Black Zetsu was surprised, but at the same time, he kept thinking about what words he would use to convince Madara. Madara under the mood swings was slightly better than usual.
At least he thought so.
therefore.
"Madara, that Kid in Konoha knows too much, now even the mystery of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan..."
"Get lost!"
As soon as Madara raised his hand, a Shinra Tensei directly flew Black Zetsu out of the cave.
Black Zetsu could avoid it with power, but he didn't dare.
At that moment, Madara's killing intent was too blazing, and he felt that if he said one more word at this moment, Madara might really kill him - even if he couldn't kill him, sealing him would be enough.
The Rinnegan has many sealing techniques, such as the Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals!
At this moment, there are only Itachi, Sasuke, and Izuna in Madara's mind.
"I should let Izuna..."
As a big brother, shouldn't it be right to let your little brother win?
He covered his face as tears streamed down.
As an older brother, Itachi is better than him.
Black Zetsu didn't dare to enter the cave. He knew he was wrong. That guy didn't trust him at all. In this mood, he shouldn't say these things.
Just when Black Zetsu was about to leave, a voice came from the cave.
"I don't care what your purpose is, and I won't hold you accountable for activities in my name, but you must show the value of letting me cooperate with you. Otherwise, get out early, or I will kill you."
"Of course, I know the secret about the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
Black Zetsu said as he entered the cave again.
Madara had calmed down and put the comic aside, but he obviously didn't intend to return it to Black Zetsu. He stuck his head with one hand and stared at Black Zetsu with his head tilted, waiting for him to tell the "secret".
"The old man should have recorded that the essence of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is the body of Ten-Tails, but did you know that the Ten-Tails were actually the only sacred tree in the world before ancient times."
Madara immediately sat upright after listening.
The story of Ten-Tails and Nine-Tails is recorded on the stone tablet, so he is not surprised, but the second half...
Divine Tree?
How is this possible, what tree can become such a powerful tailed beast!
Black Zetsu sneered at his heart seeing his expression but still said: "Everyone knows that the old man is the ancestor of the ninja, so he is honoured as the Sage of Six-Paths, but where did the power of the Sage of Six-Paths come from? I searched for half a lifetime and finally found some clues."
"It turned out to be... the Divine Tree."
Hearing it, Madara shines with excitement on his face.
It turned out to be so!
No wonder... so to speak, Black Zetsu's hidden intention is the Divine Tree, and he wants to rely on the Divine Tree to restore his "pre-life" power.
Madara understood it thoroughly.
He looked at Black Zetsu and sneered and said, "You tell me this, so you are not afraid that you will never be able to recover your strength?"
"I can't merge the ten tails alone, let alone the Divine Tree. Compared with this, I hope to destroy all the descendants of Asura."
Black Zetsu's tone was desperate and crazy at the same time.
But Madara became silent when he heard it.
Judging from his ability, Black Zetsu didn't seem to be lying-of course, even so, he still had a considerable defense against Black Zetsu.
If Black Zetsu relies on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path or Divine Tree to restore its "previous-life" power, it will be troublesome.
————
[Ps: Ok here is the thing. If you're thinking Black Zetsu is lying then you're wrong because what he said is also partially true. Why? Because Asura is the son of Hogoromo who sealed his 'mother'. That's why Madara devil fruit ability didn't detect any lie on his word.]
