Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Ban came out from behind, and upon hearing this, his hands were crackling with electricity, but when he saw Granny Cat, he suppressed his urge to use the electric shock.

Ban and Granny Cat know each other.

Granny Cat is around sixty years old, which means she lived around the time Konoha was founded.

Ban walked over to Granny Cat and said with some emotion, "Little Yi, you've gotten old!"

When Granny Cat saw the spots, she seemed to have witnessed something incredible, and stood up shakily.

Ban's face was just the same as it had been, just like the day he left.

Tears welled in Granny Cat's eyes, and her voice trembled as she cried, "Madara... Lord Madara..."

Looking at the past is far clearer than looking at the future.

In the blink of an eye, Granny Cat seemed to have returned to the past.

Back then, Granny Cat was still a young girl. She was running hurriedly through the village when she accidentally fell down. It was Ban who helped Granny Cat up.

The old cat was a little scared when she saw Madara's fierce expression, but Hashirama comforted the young old cat.

She was an old woman who had met Madara and Hashirama.

After calming down, Granny Cat exclaimed, "Lord Ban, you are as charming as ever!"

Seeing that Ban and Granny Cat seemed to have a lot to say, Liao Wu chased away the people around them, creating a private space for Ban and Granny Cat.

Granny Cat was an old woman who had always been loyal to the Uchiha clan. Madara's betrayal by the Uchiha clan had nothing to do with Granny Cat, who kept cats.

The ninja cats all regard Madara as the true successor.

If Madara had informed the Uchiha family's cat back then...

Maybe when he runs away with the bucket, even the cats of Konoha will run away with him.

Ban is not alone.

Granny Cat, who is from the same era as Madara, should give Madara some hope for the ninja world!

Liao Wu eavesdropped nearby. Granny Cat didn't talk to Madara about the Eye of the Moon plan, but instead talked about the Uchiha clan's development in Konoha over the years.

It was like a butler reporting the family's situation to the master.

Tsunade patted Liao Wu on the back and subtly pointed at Granny Cat, asking, "That's Granny Cat from your Uchiha clan, right?"

Granny Cat is not only a cat owner, but also a merchant from the Uchiha clan who connects with the black market.

Many members of the Uchiha clan were raised by Granny Cat and deeply respect this elderly woman.

Liao Wu's initial statement about sending Granny Cat to the red-light district was just an angry outburst.

Liao Wu's cat food was all provided by Granny Cat, and Granny Cat also introduced him to the black market to sell counterfeit explosive tags.

This elderly man was, besides Meiqin's parents, the person who helped Liaowu the most.

Liao Wu nodded, then looked at Tsunade and lied, "Grandma Cat came with the sincerity of the Uchiha clan, proving that the Uchiha clan still wants to pledge allegiance to Uchiha Madara."

"Pah! That old lady said she came in her own name, so stop trying to sow discord."

"Hmph! Uchiha Tsunade, you still care about Konoha and the Senju clan. You need to be taught a lesson in clan discipline."

Liao Wu and Tsunade were playfully fighting on the side.

On the other side, Yuwan was teasing Nekomatsuri: "Nekomatsuri, come on, flip one over."

The cat rolled over again after being teased by the fish ball.

Lai Cai chimed in, "One more, I'll buy you some melon seeds, big brother!"

Tian Huo said, "Meow—that's enough. The boss has never bullied you guys."

Fishball roared, "What do you mean we haven't been bullied? I'm the one who washes all the clothes in Ninja Cat City!"

Hina was speechless: "Isn't it because you stole and ate the boss's goldfish?"

"No, from now on I'll train the cat properly, so it knows things are different now, and the roles have changed!"

Fishball licked the fur on the cat's butt.

In human terms, this is equivalent to shining my shoes.

But in the cats' minds, only superiors are qualified to groom their subordinates.

This is a leader-like care, like a mother cat licking her kittens. In the cats' eyes, this is saying, "I am older than you, and you must listen to me from now on."

Liao Wu's illusion spell on the cat quickly ran out, and when the cat woke up, it saw Yuwan licking its fur.

Enraged, she chased after the fish ball and bit it, yelling, "Fish ball, you've gone too far! How dare you ride on my head?!"

The cats shook their heads.

Liao Wu eavesdropped on the conversation between Granny Cat and Ban.

Grandma Cat finally got to the point with Ban.

"Lord Madara, regarding the Eye of the Moon Project..."

Ban stared at Granny Cat and said, "Ame, you don't approve of the Eye of the Moon Project either?"

Granny Cat shook her head: "It's not that I disagree, I'm just a servant of the Uchiha clan. I provide whatever weapons my master wants to kill!"

"Lord Madara, I can't help you. I've never been able to help you."

Madara shook his head: "Ame, I don't need your help. I can complete the Eye of the Moon Project by myself."

Granny Cat asked, "Has Lord Madara considered how to arrange things for the Uchiha clan?"

Ban didn't give an answer, but Granny Cat already knew the answer in her heart.

Madara envisioned a world where everyone lived within a genjutsu (illusionary magic), a future the Uchiha clan rejected.

Even though the Uchiha clan left Konoha with Madara Uchiha back then, some of them would run away as soon as they heard about Madara's Eye of the Moon plan.

I followed you to conquer the country so that I could enjoy a life of luxury and be a master.

Now you're telling me I can't be a master and have to be on the same level as those commoners? Who would follow you then?

Do you really think we serve Ren Min?

Granny Cat stood up: "Does Lord Hashirama also know about the Eye of the Moon Project?"

Madara shook his head: "I never told Hashirama, and even if I did, it wouldn't have mattered. He would never approve of the Eye of the Moon Plan."

The break between Madara and Hashirama represents a break with the ideals of peace.

The peace between the pillars is a superficial peace, a peace of compromise.

Just like the Senju and Uchiha clans, the two clans appear to be on good terms, but in reality, it is only a peace dominated by the Senju clan.

The establishment of Konoha village merely transformed inter-clan warfare into a form of covert oppression within the village.

The Uchiha clan was isolated and suspected within the village, all of which was concealed by the illusion of peace.

The peace in Konoha was a superficial peace achieved at the expense of the Uchiha clan's interests.

Just like Hashirama's plan for the ninja world, he handed over the captured tailed beasts to other ninja villages, thereby creating a strategic balance among the five great nations.

In order to achieve peace in the ninja world.

This was a temporary peace, which did not resolve the root causes of the war's contradictions. Therefore, the First Shinobi World War broke out immediately after Hashirama's death.

Hashirama couldn't break the curse on the ninja world. He was afraid of war, afraid that more children would be sacrificed, so he traded long-term benefits for temporary peace.

He and his disciples and grand-disciples shared the same curse upon the ninja world.

Trust in the wisdom of future generations!

Ban wants a final peace, a peace that will end at any cost, even if it means many deaths.

If unifying the ninja world could eliminate war, then Madara would surely try every means to unify the ninja world.

But the only way to eliminate greed in people's hearts is through the Eye of the Moon Project.

Spots and between pillars.

One on the left, one on the right! One radical, one compromising!

Just like their statues in the Valley of the End.
