Madara Uchiha's younger brother, Izuna Uchiha, prompted Madara to reconsider his life and ultimately decide to join forces with the Senju clan to create a peaceful future for the ninja world.

Furthermore, thanks to Izuna Uchiha, Madara Uchiha obtained the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, which laid the foundation for him to awaken the Rinnegan.

As for Hashirama Senju, his role in Madara Uchiha's life is self-evident.

As the biggest fan of Hashirama Senju in the ninja world, Madara Uchiha basically had no one else in his eyes but Hashirama Senju, and he would compare himself with Hashirama Senju in everything, big or small.

The bond between the two is even deeper than the brotherly relationship between Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha.

So when Akira Hatake mentioned Hashirama Senju and Izuna Uchiha, Madara Uchiha's dim eyes finally lit up.

"Hashirama...Izuna..."

Madara Uchiha muttered to himself, seemingly lost in his memories.

After a long while, the dejected Uchiha Madara suddenly looked up at Hatake Akira and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"It's very simple: create a peaceful and unified ninja world, integrate the power of the entire ninja world, and head towards the depths of the starry sky."

Akira Hatake straightened his back, his overwhelming aura and strong confidence rising up. "To confine your vision to the mere ninja world is still too narrow-minded."

Looking up at the ceiling of the secret room, Akira Hatake's gaze seemed to be looking beyond the granite towards the starry sky.

"It's certainly nice to live a simple life in a remote corner, but that's not enough!"

"Since the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens was able to use the Divine Tree to open the gates of the ninja world thousands of years ago, wouldn't it seem too cowardly for us, as members of the ninja world, not to retaliate?"

"And you also heard what Black Zetsu said. Even if we let them go, the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens will descend upon the ninja world one day in the future and come to cause us trouble."

"The Otsutsuki are a clan. Even if I can withstand the first wave, what about the second and third waves?"

"I don't think I'm strong enough to do that on my own, nor am I capable of dealing with the entire Otsutsuki clan."

"So, Madara Uchiha, look to the future, and set your sights on a longer-term vision and ideals."

"The ninja world is really a small place. I can barely fit on my own, let alone with you all."

Akira Hatake looked down at Madara Uchiha with great seriousness. "The ninja world really isn't exciting enough. There are too few opponents and too few challenges. I think you feel the same way, right?"

When it comes to showing off, Akira Hatake is a professional!

After hearing these words, Madara Uchiha, who was lying on the ground, was stunned and suddenly felt a sense of kinship with Akira Hatake.

"Ha, I never expected you to say something like that!"

Madara Uchiha's eyes shone brightly. "Indeed, the ninja world is far too small. I could see its end with just one glance."

"I have spent my whole life searching for an opponent who can get my blood pumping, but apart from Hashirama, there is not a second person in the entire ninja world who can do it."

"However, nowadays, you, Hatake Akira, can be considered half of one."

I?

Half?

Akira Hatake laughed. When it comes to showing off, you have to look to Madara Uchiha. That guy always manages to come up with some amazing things.

However, seeing Uchiha Madara lying motionless in the hidden compartment, Akira Hatake gave up on his plan to make him dance.

There's no rush for the Ninja World Dance King to perform again sometime in the future.

"I'm honored to be considered half of one."

Akira Hatake pursed his lips, not refuting but continuing along with Madara Uchiha's words, "Do you still find life boring now?"

"No, on the contrary," Madara Uchiha decisively changed his tune, "How could a new era of ninjas be complete without me, Madara Uchiha!"

"Okay, when we meet again, you can dance."

"Dance?" Madara Uchiha was taken aback, then his eyes flashed with an unreadable expression. "You're not qualified!"

"Uchiha Madara, I suppose you haven't seen what I looked like at my peak." Hatake Akira couldn't help but confront Uchiha Madara head-on.

"At your peak, huh?" Madara Uchiha grinned. "I hope you won't disappoint me, Akira Hatake!"

"Will not."

Akira Hatake held up three fingers and waved them in front of Madara Uchiha. "Three years. In three years, I'll show you what the strongest ninja in the world really is!"

"Well, I'll wait for you."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha closed his eyes. "This body is so boring. There's no fun in arguing with it."

Akira Hatake immediately understood the meaning behind Madara Uchiha's words. "Alright, you can stay in the Pure Land for a while. When you open your eyes again, you should be back to your peak."

As soon as he finished speaking, Akira Hatake flicked his finger, and a sharp blade formed from spatial power pierced the heart of Madara Uchiha's ordinary body.

After doing all this, Akira Hatake leaned back in his wheelchair and spun around to stand in front of Fugaku and Obito, who were still staring in disbelief.

"Ming, he... he really is... Uchiha Madara?"

Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but ask the question that had been on his mind.

“The body is not Madara Uchiha’s body, but the soul is,” Akira Hatake answered. “This is all thanks to Orochimaru’s research; otherwise, it would have been very difficult to achieve such an incredible thing.”

"It's not just unbelievable, it's downright unimaginable!"

Upon receiving Akira Hatake's affirmative answer, Fugaku Uchiha could hardly contain his joy. "Akira, can you really bring the dead back to life in this way?"

"I probably can't do that, but given time, I believe Orochimaru can."

"Alright, Fugaku, let's talk about this later. I need to say a few words to Obito now."

Akira Hatake then looked at Obito Uchiha and said, "Obito, you have two choices now. One is to return to Konoha as a hero, and my teacher and I will clear your name."

"Second, continue to lead the Xiao organization to do some tasks in secret that the village cannot easily do on its own, but which are of great benefit to the village."

Which of these two options would you choose?

The two options presented by Akira Hatake left Obito Uchiha speechless.

After careful consideration for a while, Obito Uchiha asked Akira Hatake, "Akira, can you tell me specifically what the task I need to perform is in the second option?"

Obito Uchiha's idea was simple: rather than returning to the village now, he might as well continue to use this identity to secretly benefit the village.

It wasn't that Obito Uchiha didn't want to return to the village; he just felt ashamed to face it.

Being used as a pawn and repeatedly plotted against Konoha in secret made Obito Uchiha, who had returned to the light, feel uneasy.

Choosing the second option can be seen as his atonement...

"To unify the ninja world, launching the Fourth Shinobi World War has become inevitable." Akira Hatake's face was full of worry. "But the side effects of this method of unification are too great."

"With me, my father, my teacher, my teacher's wife, Kakashi, and many other top-tier fighters in Konoha, winning the Fourth Shinobi World War can only be described as extremely easy."

"But it is undeniable that this crude approach to unification will inevitably lead to a situation where there is outward harmony but inward discord."

"If it weren't for the influence of the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens, and if the entire ninja world had been brutally unified and then patiently governed, the entire ninja world would have ushered in the peace that everyone has longed for after two generations."

"But time waits for no one. I don't think we can wait until the two generations that grow up again after the ninja world is unified."

"Ming, your understanding is... the Otsutsuki clan is about to descend upon the ninja world?" Obito Uchiha astutely grasped the key point.

Akira Hatake nodded.

Through his memories of his past life, Hatake knew that Jigen, who was controlled by Isshiki Otsutsuki using the Karma seal, had been secretly watching the ninja world, searching for a suitable body for Isshiki Otsutsuki to be reborn using the Karma seal.

Needless to say, there are only a few suitable candidates for the body to be reborn from Otsutsuki Isshiki, and Naruto is definitely one of them.

And if I'm not mistaken, Kinshiki Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki are also wandering in the starry sky at this moment, and will soon discover the ninja world.

Beset by internal and external troubles, even though Akira Hatake instigated Minato Namikaze to launch the Fourth Shinobi World War and unify the entire shinobi world in the fastest and most violent way.

Even after unification, governance would still fall short of Akira Hatake's minimum requirements.

The pain of losing a country is no joke. Even though Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, the dynasty only lasted for two generations.

In Akira Hatake's vision, the original hatred of national subjugation would only be gradually put aside after two generations were educated with a unified ideology.

The problem is, there's simply no time to spare.

If Akira Hatake's prediction is correct, Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki should arrive in the ninja world more than 20 years from now.

Even if we unify the entire ninja world next year, it is simply impossible to cultivate two generations with the same ideology of unifying the ninja world in 19 years.

If someone takes advantage of this loophole, it will be a huge problem!

Although Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki may not have the brains or the inclination to cooperate with humans in the ninja world, Isshiki Otsutsuki, who is hiding in the shadows, will definitely make a move.

With internal and external troubles combined, if Akira Hatake doesn't investigate properly, he could easily end up like Madara Uchiha.

There are so many people in the world, there are always a few who can't figure things out.

Therefore, strategy is essential in everything; acting recklessly can sometimes backfire.

“It’s possible, but I’m not sure.” Akira Hatake did not give Obito Uchiha a definite answer. “But it is undeniable that only knowing how to unify the ninja world through war will inevitably sow the seeds of future disaster.”

"What I want is to unify the ninja world in the safest, most efficient, and least troublesome way." He tapped his head. "People have to use their brains, not just brute force."

"So what are you planning to do?" Obito Uchiha had a vague guess in his mind, but he still asked.

"Of course, it's about creating the strongest evil force in the ninja world and causing destruction everywhere."

Akira Hatake gave a wicked smile. "The bad things were all done by your Akatsuki organization. What does it have to do with Konoha?"

"When we annex their country, they'll have to thank us and even beg us!"

Obito Uchiha stared at Akira Hatake in astonishment, his expression quite remarkable.

You get to be the good guy all the time, so you're only fit to be the bad guy or the villain?

Chapter 313 The Otsutsuki Hagoromo Who Came to Our Door

Obito Uchiha left in tears, leading the depleted Akatsuki organization back to Amegakure.

However, under Akira Hatake's special instructions, Kakashi and his team, who were responsible for resisting the Akatsuki, still held back.

Apart from eliminating some minor enemies, the basic framework of the Akatsuki organization has been largely preserved.

Since Akatsuki's high-end combat power was not greatly affected, it was only a matter of time before Akatsuki made a comeback, given Akatsuki's indulgence and covert support.

However, the Akatsuki organization in the future may not know who they are truly serving...

After all the Akatsuki members fled Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi's rebellion was quelled, and Kushina Uzumaki's childbirth reached its final stage.

With a loud cry, Naruto Uzumaki was born!
