Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 296 Let him experience what it's like to have his life controlled.

"My will, tell me, what exactly happened in the years since I died?" Madara Uchiha looked at Tobi, who was disguised as Black Zetsu.

"Yes, Lord Madara." Tobi nodded. "After you died, Obito went to Konoha and released the Nine-Tails, but he was killed by the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, at the cost of his life."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's expression changed slightly, and he cursed in a deep voice, "Useless!"

He truly never expected that the pawn he had painstakingly cultivated would be killed so easily.

"For the Eye of the Moon Project to proceed smoothly, I had no choice but to approach Lord Toko." At this moment, Tobi, disguised as Black Zetsu, stepped aside slightly, allowing Uchiha Toko to appear fully in front of Uchiha Madara. "Lord Toko is very supportive of the implementation of the Eye of the Moon Project."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha raised his eyes again to scrutinize Touko Uchiha, who smiled and looked at Madara with deep respect for his predecessor.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, then looked at Tobi, signaling him to continue.

"Then, because Obito's identity was exposed, the treacherous Shimura Danzo insisted that Obito was a suicide soldier specially trained by the Uchiha clan to overthrow Konoha. As a result, the Uchiha and Konoha completely broke apart. If it weren't for Lord Touko becoming the head of the Uchiha clan, leading the Uchiha clan to launch a coup, becoming the Fifth Hokage, and then purging the high-ranking officials of Konoha, the Uchiha clan would have been wiped out."

"Is that so?" Madara Uchiha looked at Touko Uchiha again. "You are now the Fifth Hokage?"

Whether the Uchiha clan was wiped out or not was irrelevant to Madara Uchiha. He had already lost all attachment to the clan when they left with him. But now, a member of the Uchiha clan had become Hokage, a position he himself had never achieved. This made Madara Uchiha look at Tokō Uchiha with new respect.

"I am but a junior who has barely managed to become the Fifth Hokage," Uchiha Touko said humbly. "Compared to Lord Madara's past achievements, I am still far from being the best I could ever hope to achieve."

Madara Uchiha frowned slightly as he looked at Touka Uchiha. For some reason, he didn't really like this young junior of the clan in front of him. This young junior gave him a feeling that was very similar to Tobirama Senju.

However, given the current situation, according to the will he left behind, since Uchiha Touko is also willing to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, Uchiha Madara still intends to observe first.

"Where is the Eye of the Moon Project at now?" Madara Uchiha asked.

“We already have six tailed beasts in our hands: the Two-Tails, the Three-Tails, the Five-Tails, the Six-Tails, the Seven-Tails, and the Nine-Tails. It’s only a matter of time before we get the One-Tails. The only ones we don’t have are the Four-Tails from Iwagakure and the Eight-Tails from Kumogakure,” said Uchiha Touko.

"So many?" Madara Uchiha was also taken aback when he heard this. He thought that Black Zetsu and the current Uchiha clan leader had resurrected him with Edo Tensei because the capture of the tailed beasts was not going smoothly. But he did not expect that his speed would be so fast.

“Yes,” Uchiha Touko said. “For the Eye of the Moon Plan, I, as Hokage, launched a war against the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning. The war is progressing very smoothly, and soon the tailed beasts will be captured.”

"War?" Uchiha Touko frowned slightly.

"Yes, I know that Madara, who co-founded Konoha with the First Hokage, may not like war, but for the Eye of the Moon Plan, all of this is worth it. After all, in the perfect world created by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, everyone will be resurrected and have everything they have ever dreamed of, right?" Uchiha Touko's face showed a hint of fanaticism as he excitedly said.

Uchiha nodded, his doubts lessening slightly. Once a goal was set, he forged ahead without hesitation—this was indeed how an outstanding descendant of the Uchiha clan should be.

"Then why did you resurrect me using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?" Madara Uchiha asked.

“Uh…” Uchiha Touko hesitated upon hearing this.

"Hmm?" A hint of impatience appeared on Madara Uchiha's face as he frowned and said, "Just say what you have to say. What are you dawdling about?"

"It's like this, Lord Madara. During our search for the Tailed Beasts, we encountered a guy named Otsutsuki Isshiki. That guy claimed to be a god, and he was also searching for the Tailed Beasts. We clashed with him, and unfortunately..." A hint of shame appeared on Uchiha Touko's face. "I was no match for him."

"You're no match for him?" Madara Uchiha frowned. He had observed the situation in Kirigakure during the Third Shinobi World War. He still remembered how Uchiha Toko had single-handedly overwhelmed an entire village. Madara Uchiha believed that he would never have had such strength at the same age as Toko. Yet now Toko was asking him for help because he was not strong enough.
Madara Uchiha did not doubt Tokio Uchiha's words, because given the Uchiha's personality, they would never admit their weakness unless they were truly invincible.

"Yes, he's too strong. My Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques are no match for him." In Uchiha Touko's eyes, there was three parts shame, three parts resentment, three parts helplessness, and one part expectation for Uchiha Madara.

Madara Uchiha frowned, then realized that compared to himself, this junior had no blood relatives, so his Mangekyou Sharingan could not be upgraded, thus his speed of strength improvement was stuck?

"What is your eye technique?" Madara Uchiha asked at this moment.

"My eye technique is a technique that enhances my perception and the destructive power of my ninjutsu; there's nothing special about it," Uchiha Touko said.

Uchiha Touko certainly wouldn't tell the other party the true effects of his eye technique, since no one could tell its specific functions if he didn't explain it.

"Is that so?" Uchiha Dian nodded. No wonder when he observed Uchiha Touko, he found that the other party could remain unscathed from the siege of enemies hundreds of times his size, and that his lightning release power far exceeded that of ordinary people. So that's the effect of his eye technique.

"If my eye technique were a little stronger, I wouldn't be completely helpless against that guy," Uchiha Touko said through gritted teeth.

"Hmph, don't blame your weakness on your eye techniques. My eye techniques are also similar types that enhance physical strength," Madara Uchiha said with a cold snort.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Touko remained silent for a while before speaking, "Lord Madara is right."

"Hmph." Madara Uchiha snorted again before sitting up. "Did the enemies you encountered possess any troublesome abilities?"

"He has the ability to freely control the expansion and contraction of matter remotely. Furthermore, he can open a special spacetime gate and summon an extremely powerful black cube from it for attack," Uchiha Touko said respectfully.

"I see, I understand now." Madara Uchiha cracked his knuckles, then turned sharply around, staring intently at Touko Uchiha. "One last question, junior. You're so enthusiastic about the Eye of the Moon Project, does that mean you want to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki?"

As soon as Madara Uchiha finished speaking, the atmosphere in the cave became tense. Madara's chakra began to surge. With the Ten-Tails involved, Madara didn't trust anyone, especially since he had no way to counter Uchiha Touko.

However, facing Madara Uchiha's oppressive aura, Tokō Uchiha remained calm, though a hint of embarrassment reappeared on his face. He scratched his head and said, "Oh, right, Lord Madara, there's another very important matter regarding resurrecting you using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. That is, the final Infinite Tsukuyomi jutsu might require your assistance." "Oh?" Madara Uchiha frowned slightly upon hearing this, but subtly restrained his aura. "That's the power of the Ten-Tails, the combined power of nine tailed beasts. Aren't you even a little tempted?"

"More than obtaining the Ten-Tails, I want to revive Kaito, who died protecting me in the war." - Uchiha
"Hehe, also, Lord Madara, you may not know this, but although it's a secret of Konoha that Lord Touko is not good at genjutsu, it's become common knowledge throughout the ninja world in recent years." At this moment, Tobi, disguised as Black Zetsu, said with a sly smile.

"Hey! Give me some face in front of Lord Madara!" Uchiha Touko said to Black Zetsu, his face showing an expression of embarrassment and anger.

"You're not good at genjutsu?" Madara Uchiha's eyes widened instantly. "You're a member of the Uchiha clan, and you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, yet you're not good at genjutsu?"

Madara Uchiha did not doubt Black Zetsu, after all, in his mind, Black Zetsu was the embodiment of his will, completely obedient to him.

"Lord Madara, I truly have no talent in this area... I have brought shame upon the clan." Uchiha Touko lowered his head in shame.

"Hmph, my Uchiha clan has dominated the ninja world since ancient times with fire release and genjutsu. As the current clan leader, how can you walk with a limp?" Uchiha Madara sneered and reprimanded.

Uchiha Douguang: ...

If you really think about it that way, he's not just lame in one leg, but in both.

However, although Madara Uchiha said this, he was actually quite relieved about Touko Uchiha. After all, someone like Touko Uchiha, who had an obsession with reviving his loved ones and posed no threat to his position as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, was the perfect tool. You know, even Obito needed to be guarded against with the Cursed Seal back then, and Touko Uchiha's genjutsu skills couldn't support the Infinite Tsukuyomi. If he wanted to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to revive his loved ones, then he would have no choice but to be loyal to him.

"Give me detailed information about that guy later," Madara Uchiha instructed Black Zetsu. "As for you, go and sort things out on the battlefield first. Now that you've become Hokage, don't disgrace the title, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Madara! Loyal!" Uchiha Touko stood at attention and saluted.

"What are you doing?" Uchiha Touko's actions completely baffled Uchiha Madara, who immediately frowned.

"Lord Madara, this is Konoha's latest etiquette. Touko is paying his respects to you," Abi said.

"There's no point in doing all this formality," Madara Uchiha said coldly. "Just focus on doing your own job well."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha got up and walked out of the cave, completely unaware of Tobi's expression, which changed instantly upon hearing his words.

"Lord Madara, where are you going?" Uchiha Touko asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

“Of course, I’m going to get my own things back,” Madara Uchiha said.

"Uh, before that, aren't you going back to Konoha and visit your clan? There are many children in the clan who admire you very much," Uchiha Touko asked.

“There’s no need for that,” Madara Uchiha said.

As for Madara Uchiha, since the Uchiha clan didn't choose to go with him back then, he couldn't be bothered to worry about it anymore.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Uchiha Touko asked.

“Just do what you’re supposed to do. If I need anything, I’ll come to you.” Madara Uchiha said as he walked out. After a few steps, Madara Uchiha suddenly turned around, a pair of purple Rinnegan appearing in his eyes. He stared at Touko Uchiha and said, “Also, junior, you were wrong about something earlier. I don’t hate war.”

After saying that, Madara Uchiha left the cave without looking back.

After Madara Uchiha left, the humble expression on Tokō Uchiha's face vanished instantly, and he said with a sneer, "The old man is quite the actor."

"Kaka, this old guy's been tricked." At this moment, Tobi also came to Uchiha Touko's side and said with a smile.

"The old man has only taken the bait for the first time. You'll still need to work hard to maintain the plan. I'll be leaving now. You can stay in this Kamui world and keep him entertained." Uchiha Touko nodded and said.

"Yes, Kaka! Mission accomplished!" Afei immediately stood at attention and saluted. "Loyalty!"

"Loyalty!" Uchiha Touko returned the greeting.

Soon, the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern in Uchiha Touko's eyes changed, transforming into the shape of the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, and his body slowly disappeared.

Outside, Uchiha Touko's figure slowly appeared, with Kakashi already waiting nearby.

After Uchiha Touko appeared, Kakashi immediately provided him with a copy of the eye technique that opened the Kamui dimension.

After doing all this, Kakashi finally asked, "Was that Uchiha Madara just now?"

“Yes.” Uchiha Touko nodded. “An old man hiding in the shadows, who thinks he can control everything. You could say that all the tragedies you and your teammates have suffered are the result of this old man’s scheme.”

Upon hearing this, Kakashi clenched his fists instantly.

"If you want, let's go in right now and grind that old bastard to dust," Uchiha Touko said.

"No need." Kakashi took a deep breath to calm himself down, then said with a cold smile, "Let him experience what it's like to have his life controlled, just like you said."
