Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

"Master, isn't Yishi already dead?"

“He is not dead. Can’t your clan use wedges on other creatures? Jigen is the ‘vessel’ that Isshiki found.”

Kaguya's expression froze. She never expected that Isshiki could survive the Ten-Tails' attack. So, he, like her, had been living on this planet all along?!

Thinking of this, her face darkened. Isshiki held a high position in the Otsutsuki clan, while Chiga was clearly a "newcomer." What if Isshiki made Chiga hand her over?

Will Chiga offend Isshiki Otsutsuki for the sake of being a "traitor"?

Even if she ate the Chakra Fruit, she didn't think she would be a match for Isshiki. If that were to happen, she feared she would be in grave danger.

As she frowned in thought, Qianhe suddenly asked,

"You look terrible. What are you thinking about?"

Although Kaguya has lived for thousands of years, her temperament is completely out of sync with her age. When Chiga asked her this, she actually blurted out her thoughts, and then asked nervously,

"Master, will you entrust me to Itsuki?"

Chiga hadn't expected Kaguya to be so naive and innocent; he was immediately amused by her.

Kaguya stared at Chiga with wide, unblinking eyes. Chiga smiled for a while, then suddenly flicked Kaguya's forehead with a finger.

Chiga's grip was very light, and Kaguya only felt a tickle on her forehead. She tilted her head, looking even more like a naive and innocent girl.

Why should I hand you over to a piece of animal feed?

"Feed... feed? Master, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Chiga smiled, took Kaguya's hand and pressed it to his chest, and whispered,

"Have you forgotten that there is also a ten-tailed beast inside me?"

Kaguya stared blankly at Chiga, and under Chiga's astonished gaze, her cheeks flushed red at a visible speed.

As soon as Qianhe let go, she immediately pulled her hand back.

She pulled her hands back into her wide sleeves and began to knead them frantically.

This was a real hardship for the Black Zetsu hidden in her sleeve. He was like a black lump of dough, being kneaded and rolled by Kaguya, and he suffered terribly.

Anyone could tell from Kaguya's expression that she was shy, but Chiga was a little unsure. In his opinion, Kaguya was a mother of two, so how could she be so shy just because she put her hand on a man's chest?

He remembered that Kaguya had a human husband, someone called "Emperor".

Chiga couldn't help but ask,

"Hey, I remember you had a husband before, right?"

Kaguya nodded blankly, but then quickly shook her head.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Black Zetsu from her sleeve escaped from Kaguya's clutches. A black head popped out and shouted...

"Mom never had a husband! That guy was just an ordinary human being, what right did he have to be Mom's husband!"

Black Zetsu was extremely agitated because, according to Chiga, he had suddenly gained a human father out of nowhere, which was absolutely unacceptable to him!

Chiga frowned, wondering if she had been misled by the original plot in the anime again.

He continued to ask,

"Then what about Hamura and Hagoromo?"

"Hmph! Those two were just split off from Mom. There was nothing she could do; the power of the Divine Tree Fruit was simply too strong. Mom had no choice but to use this method to neutralize some of the power within her!"

"how about you?"

"Of course I was created by my mother!"

Speaking of this, Black Zetsu looked incredibly proud. Chiga couldn't understand what he was so proud of, because it didn't sound like the same thing. What's the difference between splitting and creating?

Black Zetsu's point was that Hamura and Hagoromo's appearance was just an accident, while he was created by Kaguya and given a "sacred" mission from birth: to resurrect Kaguya.

Compared to his two "older brothers", apart from not looking human, he is indeed Kaguya's biological son in terms of filial piety.

However, Black Zetsu didn't notice that Chika's gaze towards him was very strange.

Given that Black Zetsu often turns into a pool of black fluid, Chika looks exactly like a pool of black... blood.

Therefore, he couldn't help but wonder what Kaguya used to create Black Zetsu, whether it was really just her will.

Black Zetsu was unaware that Chiga was making malicious assumptions about him. After he finished speaking, he crawled back into Kaguya's sleeve and stopped talking.

Kaguya's mood calmed down, and she remembered what Chiga had just said, so she quickly asked,

"Master, do you intend to feed Isshiki to the Ten-Tails inside your body?"

Chiga shrugged and said,

"Yes, that guy is of very good quality as animal feed. I've had my eye on him for a while now."

"Then... will Master feed me to the Ten-Tails too?"

"Are you stupid? If I wanted to feed you to it, would I have waited until now?"

Chiga sighed softly, turned around and flew into the sky, with Kaguya quickly following.

Apart from Onoki, almost none of the remaining ninjas could fly. Minato looked at Madara beside him with a look of utter despair.

Chapter 360 The Change of Madara

On the Hokage Rock, Madara looked down at Hashirama's portrait. He had been standing there alone for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Swish!

Chiga appeared beside Madara, smiling as she asked,

"How have you been doing in Konoha these past few days?"

Madara laughed too. He glanced up at Konoha and said softly,

"not bad."

As for Madara, Minato and the others had no idea what to do. After Chiga left the battlefield that day, they added layer after layer of seals to Madara, almost wrapping him up like a mummy.

Fortunately, Minato learned a lot of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques from Kushina, and he remained quiet on the way back with Madara, without causing any further trouble.

When they returned to Konoha, Chiga was strolling around the streets of Konoha with Kaguya.

When Chiga saw Madara's appearance, he burst out laughing and casually removed the seal from Madara's body.

With Chiga there, Minato and the others weren't worried about Madara causing any trouble. They hadn't dared to relax for a moment along the way, and after handing Madara over to Chiga, they all went home to rest.

As for how to deal with Ban, they didn't even consider it; such a powerful figure was beyond their capabilities.

So Madara was arranged by Chiga to stay at Itachi's house. Itachi respected his ancestor and gladly accepted Chiga's arrangement.

Madara observed Itachi and Sasuke's lives as an outsider every day, and during this time, he would often think of his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna.

This is also because Sasuke and Izuna look so alike that Madara's gaze at Sasuke sometimes makes Itachi feel uneasy, as if Madara is trying to take his brother away from him.

Itachi even went to see Chiga and told him about it.

Chiga smiled and told Itachi about Izuna's situation. After hearing this, Itachi felt a strong sense of sympathy for his ancestor.

If it were him, and he saw Sasuke being killed, he would probably turn even more evil than Madara.

So when he returned, he took even better care of Madara. Under Itachi's meticulous care, Madara's cold heart began to melt gradually.

During this time, Chiga also took Kaguya to see him and told him about the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

After learning the truth, Madara did not show any anger; instead, he laughed self-deprecatingly.

What he had planned for decades turned out to be a scam, and he, Madara Uchiha, had even become someone else's pawn.

He didn't resent his defeat to Chiga. He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly and was even filled with gratitude towards Chiga.

If it weren't for Chiga, he probably would have become the vessel for that woman's resurrection, and then used Infinite Tsukuyomi to destroy the entire ninja world.

Then Madara Uchiha would become an outright sinner, and how could he possibly face Hashirama?

From that moment on, Madara was completely at peace. From now on, whether the ninja world was in chaos or not was up to Chika. He, Uchiha Madara, only wanted to stay quietly in Konoha and be an "ordinary ninja".

Today, he came to the Hokage Rock not because he was feeling down, but simply because he wanted to see Hashirama's face.

Chiga saw through his thoughts and said,

"What? Missing Hashirama?"

“…”

Ban's lips twitched slightly. He took a deep breath and said,

"I was just wondering, if Hashirama knew all this, would he laugh at me?"

"Heh, how would I know what he's thinking? Kabuto is still in the orphanage. Why don't you ask him to help you out and use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon Hashirama and ask him?"

Madara actually started to think about it seriously. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the Impure World Reincarnation technique. In fact, he thought it was one of the few techniques that Tobirama could praise.

Although Madara disliked Tobirama, he had to admit that the guy was indeed a master of research techniques.

He thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said,

"Let's forget about it. I'm not ready to face Hashirama yet."

As he spoke, Madara suddenly laughed, looked into Chiga's eyes, and said...

"I can call him out once the ninja world has stabilized."

Now, the five great ninja villages have been integrated by Senga, which is exactly what Madara thought back then. In a few years, if the ninja world really achieves the unity of order and there are no more wars as he once imagined, then he must summon Hashirama and show him that his idea back then was correct!

Currently, the other four ninja villages are behaving very obediently due to Senga's strength, with Mei Terumi's Kirigakure being the best, almost eager to join Konoha.

Mei Terumi even proposed to live in Konoha, but was stopped by some high-ranking members of Kirigakure.

Are you kidding me? If our Mizukage were to actually live in Konoha, what would become of Kirigakure's reputation?

Besides, even a blind person could see what Mei Terumi was thinking; she was just lusting after Konoha's Hokage, Chika!

Even Madara had heard about this, and he surprisingly made a joke about it.

"Chika, the Uchiha clan is dwindling in numbers. I think Mei Terumi is quite interested in you. What do you think? Do you want to give it a try?"

Chiga's lips twitched; he could hardly believe these words were coming from Madara's mouth.

Madara realized this too. He coughed awkwardly a few times. Under Itachi's care these past few days, his mentality had subtly changed. He was no longer as tense as before and would occasionally relax.
