Naruto: Yes, Uchiha-sama.

Chapter 159 Lord Madara, do you really think the living conditions of ninjas have improved?

Wake up from sleep.

Uchiha Makoto opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ceiling above him. After a brief moment of confusion, memories of the previous night flooded back.

"I really drank too much yesterday!"

"Not only is Hashirama Senju incredibly strong, but his alcohol tolerance is also terrifying. His Sage Body's metabolism is just too amazing. Even when Madara Uchiha and I teamed up, we couldn't outdrink him!"

Uchiha Makoto remembered everything that had happened last night.

In a lively atmosphere.

The two sides started a drinking contest, and even when he and Uchiha Madara joined forces, they couldn't outdrink the monster, Senju Hashirama.

Although he lost miserably at the drinking party, in the end, son, your dad has already found you a good wife!
When Makoto Uchiha made a sound, Shizuku Uzumaki immediately woke up and quickly noticed his gaze.

After the two cuddled together in bed for a while...

As usual, Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku helped Uchiha Makoto get dressed and wash up.

Soon.

Uchiha Makoto appeared in front of the mirror, dressed neatly. Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku thoughtfully straightened his wrinkled collar, while he mentally reviewed his schedule for the day.

According to the itinerary.

Today, he is officially returning to the Uchiha clan to participate in the clan's annual ancestral worship ceremony. Moreover, since Uchiha Makoto is returning home in glory as the Kage, the clan elders have prepared an even more lively ancestral worship ceremony this year than in previous years to show the Uchiha clan's respect for him.

Subsequently
Having prepared everything, Uchiha Makoto, accompanied by Uzumaki Tsubaki Shizuku, headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory. Upon reaching the vicinity of the Uchiha clan's territory, Uchiha Makoto immediately spotted Uchiha Setsuna, who had come to greet him.

"Setsuna, it's been a long time!"

"Cheng, sister-in-law."

After exchanging greetings, the two sides...

Uchiha Setsuna led Uchiha Makoto deeper into the clan's territory. Makoto's visit naturally attracted the attention of many people, including many of his clansmen who had been with him since childhood and who had fought alongside him against the inherently evil Senju clan.

and so.

We met again.

Even though their status and circumstances had changed dramatically, they both took the initiative to come over and greet Uchiha Castle.

After meeting, there was naturally a round of small talk.

Some clansmen even brought children. When they saw the children who came over to greet them, Uchiha Makoto took out a red envelope from his pocket without saying a word.

He's incredibly good at giving out money.

The children opened their red envelopes and, seeing the large sums of lucky money, laughed and jumped for joy.

We traveled and stopped frequently along the way.

And then there were always groups of kids who would surround Uchiha Makoto. There was nothing they could do about it, since Uchiha Makoto had made a bold statement that every child in the clan would receive a red envelope.

This meant that even though the journey wasn't very long, it took Uchiha Makoto more than half an hour to finally meet the Uchiha elders and Uchiha Madara.

The ancestral worship ceremony began soon.

Many Uchiha clan members gathered at the Naka Shrine to pay homage to their deceased ancestors.

Although Makoto Uchiha had left the Uchiha clan, he was still the Kage, so he was placed to Madara Uchiha's right.

At this moment, everyone fell silent and began the worship ceremony.

Makoto Uchiha's attention quickly shifted to the stone tablet at the very front.

He had seen this stone tablet more than once since he grew up in the Uchiha clan. It was inscribed with strange inscriptions. As a transmigrator, Makoto Uchiha was naturally aware of what the inscriptions contained—a fabricated story created by a filial son of a thousand years in order to save his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

However, this time, Makoto Uchiha used his eye power to decipher most of the contents of the stone tablet, and the contents of the stone tablet were roughly as he had expected.

Only a small portion remains undeciphered.

This is something only the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan can decipher—the method to awaken the Rinnegan, Infinite Tsukuyomi.
have to say.

Black Zetsu is a very cunning old fox. Although he altered the contents of the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths beyond recognition, the contents of the stone tablet are basically true.

The Infinite Tsukuyomi can indeed trap humanity in an eternal dream, but Black Zetsu deliberately concealed the most important part: the true function of the Infinite Tsukuyomi is to absorb the chakra of the entire world, and then Black Zetsu uses himself as a medium to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki in her prime in the ninja world.

After watching for a while and satisfying his long-standing curiosity, Uchiha Makoto quickly looked away.

after all
He had absolutely no interest in the Eye of the Moon project.

After a complex worship ceremony.

The ancestral worship ceremony has finally come to an end.

So the Uchiha clan left the Naka Shrine, with Uchiha Makoto following closely behind. There was nothing there except a stone tablet, so they figured they might as well leave sooner. However, Uchiha Madara called him back.

"Cheng, after they all leave, you stay behind. I have something to tell you."

After hearing what Madara Uchiha said.

Makoto Uchiha nodded; he had already guessed what Madara Uchiha was going to say to him.

soon.

Only Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Makoto remained at the Nanga Shrine.

"Cheng, with your eyesight, I think you've already seen the contents of that stone tablet!"

"Yes, Lord Ban, that's right, the story on the stone tablet is indeed very interesting."

Subsequently.

Madara Uchiha casually sat down on the stone steps.

Uchiha Makoto also sat down.

To Uchiha Makoto's surprise,

Madara Uchiha didn't immediately talk to him about the contents of the stone tablet. Instead, he started talking about his relationship with Hashirama Senju.

"That year, Hashirama and I were by the stream. We both concealed our identities from each other. Hashirama and I once swore to change the ninja world and achieve peace. However, our fathers still discovered each other."

"The conflict between our clans drove us to constant battles. My brother Izuna and the others perished in those battles. You know what happened afterward: Hashirama and I eventually made peace and established Konoha. The peace we longed for has finally arrived."

"But, Makoto, war is bound to come sooner or later. Do you really think the ninja world can achieve eternal peace?"

Madara Uchiha spoke for a long time. He could occasionally smile when recounting his story with Hashirama Senju, but when he talked about war, the battles of his clan, the deaths of his brothers, and the death of Izuna, his tone became deep and serious. Finally, like a philosopher, he posed a profound question to Makoto Uchiha.

When faced with Madara Uchiha's question, Makoto Uchiha answered directly: "I don't know."

Madara Uchiha was already ill when he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. After obtaining the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, his condition worsened, and now he is very ill. This is a unique trait of the Uchiha clan: they like to think, like to get stuck on things, and if they can't get the answer they want, they feel that the world is wrong.

How can we bring true peace to the ninja world?

How is this possible!
Human nature is greedy and selfish. Desires expand day by day. People would rather hoard food than finish it and keep collecting. After building a new house, they want a bigger house. After building a big house, they want a palace. Desire drives people to invade and rule, and then there is endless fighting.

If we follow Madara Uchiha's line of thought...

This world is definitely beyond saving.

Everyone should quickly cosplay as a Teru Teru Bozu doll and hang it on the sacred tree to have sweet dreams.

Makoto Uchiha knew that the question raised by Madara Uchiha was destined to be an unsolvable problem, and in order to maintain peace in the ninja world for a few more years, he did not want to aggravate Madara Uchiha's condition.

The best answer is simply "I don't know".

"You brat, you're never honest."

"Lord Ban, I am only speaking the truth. The question of eternal peace is far too grand."

"I'm more concerned about what's in front of me: my Akatsuki, my son, my family. For me, being able to protect these things is enough."

"Hmph, how boring. I thought you could understand my thoughts."

"It seems it's still Hashirama."

Madara Uchiha suddenly felt somewhat disheartened.

He also thought that Uchiha Makoto could understand some of his ideas, but the result was disappointing.

Uchiha Makoto's face immediately darkened.

"Hashirama, Hashirama, all you ever think about is Hashirama!"

"You two are simply illiterate, with empty heads and a penchant for wild imaginations, yet you have such big fists, making the entire ninja world play house with you. If just one of you could truly listen to me, I could lead the ninja world out of this wretched little planet, to the moon, and wipe out the Otsutsuki clan."

"Tobirama is still the best. Although he is indeed a scoundrel, he can actually get along with me."

Of course, these are the kinds of things I'm saying.

Makoto Uchiha could only say it to himself.

Because he knew very well that changing a person's mind was extremely difficult, especially for an adult Uchiha who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan after being stimulated.

Such stubborn people either need to be directly beaten into enlightenment by an iron fist, or their thinking can only be corrected little by little over time. Makoto Uchiha couldn't do the former, and the latter would come at too high a cost.

Although Madara Uchiha had a disgusted expression, he still continued chatting with Makoto Uchiha.

This stone tablet also records a very advanced Yin-Yang Release technique, which is a rare and precious thing. Previously, Madara Uchiha was not only contemplating life at the Naka Shrine every day, but also practicing the Yin-Yang Release technique recorded on the stone tablet.

When the topic of spiritual practice came up, the two were very interested and exchanged ideas for quite a while.

Madara Uchiha was very generous and didn't hold back. He explained his understanding like a senior teaching a junior.

The two chatted for a while.

This allowed Makoto Uchiha to finally understand Madara Uchiha's current mental state.

Although Madara Uchiha's attitude was rather pessimistic.

But he still holds onto his hopes for Konoha.

One very important criterion is that Madara Uchiha still doesn't believe, as he did in the original story, that the Uchiha clan will perish in Konoha. The clan's bleak future was what made Madara Uchiha completely determined to betray Konoha.

This is, of course, inextricably linked to Uchiha Makoto.

Because Makoto Uchiha established Akatsuki Village outside and continued to cause trouble, he tied up too much of Tobirama Senju's energy.

According to Tobirama Senju.

Makoto Uchiha, that naturally evil Uchiha brat, is the real dangerous character. He constantly pulls off some terrible things and frequently ruins his own reputation, disgusting himself in the process.

The key is
Each time, Tobirama Senju could only watch as Makoto Uchiha did as he pleased.

Even if he saw through the flaws in Uchiha Makoto's actions and wanted to retaliate, he had to subconsciously consider whether Uchiha Makoto was deliberately showing him a weakness to trick him and make him take the blame for Uchiha Makoto.

Compare the two.

The Uchiha clan within Konoha Village seemed incredibly honest, innocent, and adorable; at least the Uchiha clan within the village genuinely didn't cause him any trouble!

They were asked to raise funds to set up a garrison and do the hard work, and they happily agreed.

And they actually enjoyed doing it.

As a result, Tobirama Senju really didn't have time to scheme against the Uchiha clan within the village. Moreover, thanks to Makoto Uchiha, the Uchiha clan's current treatment in the village is much better than that of the Uchiha clan at the same time in the original story.

After all, Tobirama Senju really had to consider the risk that the Uchiha clan within Konoha might defect to Akatsuki Village due to a decrease in their treatment, since Akatsuki Village, which was watching closely, could seamlessly take over the entire Uchiha clan at any time.

Furthermore, Akatsuki Village is fully capable of withstanding Konoha's retaliation.

wrong
It was likely that Uchiha Makoto led the Akatsuki to turn against Konoha, demanding compensation from Konoha for the Uchiha clan.

"Our Uchiha clan is one of the two founding clans of Konoha, yet we've been driven to the point where we can't even survive in the village because of that bastard Tobirama Senju!"

"Tobirama is without virtue and does not deserve to be the Kage of Konoha!"

If we can really seize such an opportunity.

Uchiha Makoto was able to force Tobirama Senju to resign.

In short
The Uchiha clan's value in Konoha's united front work has risen to more than one level.

Therefore, after careful evaluation.

Madara Uchiha is still somewhat salvageable; he is not completely beyond saving.

Considering there's still hope for him, and that I even taught him Yin-Yang Escape Technique.
Uchiha Makoto didn't mind starting to chant.

"Lord Ban, no matter what, I remain skeptical of the story on the stone tablet."

"How could there truly be a magic that can achieve eternal peace? I don't like false dreams; for me, reality is what matters."

"You should go out and see more of the world. Achieving peace in the ninja world is not as simple as just establishing a ninja village. We have a lot to do. At the very least, you need to make the ninjas truly understand their current situation. Lord Madara, do you really think that their living conditions will improve after the ninjas establish ninja villages?"

"The current relations of production are in a terrible state."
