Naruto: The Tavern Speech Begins to Make the Land of Rain Great

"Madara-sama! Madara-sama!"

A spiral-shaped white creature ran up to an elderly man with white hair, and he said lively.

"I've recently discovered something fun!"

Lying on the stone chair, Madara Uchiha slowly raised his eyelids, his cloudy yet slightly clear eyes sweeping over White Zetsu.

"Be quiet."

Upon hearing these words, Bai Jue did not restrain himself at all; instead, he clumsily jumped around.

"Lord Madara hates me! Waaaaah! Lord Madara doesn't want to hear the news about Nagato that I brought?"

Upon hearing the name Nagato, Madara's eyelids twitched again.

Previously, Bai Jue always talked to him about things like defecating, which made him have absolutely no trust in the information Bai Jue gave him.

However, if it's Nagato...

My own chess piece...

He said lightly.

"explain."

This brief command made White Zetsu quickly stand up straight, and he respectfully reported to Madara Uchiha.

"Lord Madara! Nagato can now use Shinra Tensei!"

Shinra Tensei?

Is it that attack method that uses repulsive force in the Rinnegan?

"However, it seems that Nagato hasn't fully grasped the power of the Rinnegan yet."

Bai Jue pinched his chin, as if recalling something.

"Tell me how he used Shinra Tensei."

Madara's answer interrupted White Zetsu's thought process.

Bai Jue scratched his head and explained.

"Actually, I don't really know either...hehe."

He then struck a very exaggerated pose.

"Outside Konoha Village, he and his companions were attacked by Konoha's Root ninja!"

White Zetsu immediately made an excited gesture.

"Then, when his companion was about to be killed by the Root ninja, he awakened Shinra Tensei."

White Zetsu excitedly imitated Nagato's appearance back then.

He stood there, looking at Uchiha Madara in front of him, imagining him as Konan.

Then he stretched out a hand and roared.

"No!"

"Boom boom boom~"

White Zetsu immediately jumped to Madara's side, acting as the Root ninja who had grabbed Konan by the neck.

Then he suddenly fell backward.

"Ouch! I've been launched into the air!"

After a while, Bai Jue slowly got up and jumped back to his original position.

"Hey! That's about it."

Madara Uchiha's face darkened; he couldn't resist the urge to unleash a Fireball Jutsu on the White Zetsu in front of him.

I don't know why, but this White Zetsu is so lively.

"So, Nagato used the power of the Rinnegan when his comrades were threatened?"

"That's right!"

Bai Jue raised a finger and affirmed.

Besides realizing that Nagato's Rinnegan had awakened, Madara Uchiha also overheard a detail.

root.

After faking his death, he instructed White Zetsu to keep a close eye on all developments in Konoha.

Under his watchful eye, he discovered that Hashirama Senju had died within months of their duel at the Valley of the End.

Tobirama Senju also died after the First Shinobi World War.

This made Madara Uchiha experience a feeling of loneliness for the first time.

One by one, the figures of his era have faded away.

Right now, the only people Madara Uchiha could actually meet were probably Mito Uzumaki and a few others.

Madara Uchiha, who knew Konoha inside and out, was naturally familiar with Hiruzen Sarutobi's exploits.

One of Hiruzen Sarutobi's more distinctive actions was to decentralize power.

He established the Root Department and entrusted all power within it to his confidant, Danzo.

Then, a Hokage was appointed to assist him in winning over the various ninja clans.

At the same time, he supported commoner ninjas and regarded commoner ninjas who had no connection with ninja clans as his confidants.

This made Madara realize instantly that Hiruzen Sarutobi's political ideals coincided with Tobirama Senju's.

This also includes the marginalization of the Uchiha clan.

This marginalization is not about excluding the Uchiha clan, but rather about ensuring that the Uchiha clan always has something to strive for.

For example, trust and honor.

It was precisely because of this need that the Uchiha clan was able to perfectly become the sharpest sword in Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand.

Madara Uchiha understood this clearly.

What was Hiruzen Sarutobi's purpose in sending Root to contact Nagato this time?

Could it be that Nagato's Rinnegan has been exposed, causing Hiruzen Sarutobi to become wary?

Bringing his thoughts back, Madara Uchiha decided to stop thinking about it for now.

He looked at Bai Jue.

"How's Nagato's teacher doing lately?"

"You mean Watanabe Toru?"

Bai Jue thought for a second, then gave his answer.

"After he defeated Hanzo, he began to reform the mission system of Amegakure. Now ordinary ninjas can also obtain some ninjutsu, money and food by doing missions."

"I'm referring to his relationship with Nagato."

Madara Uchiha didn't care about these things; all he cared about now was whether the Eye of the Moon Plan could be executed.

Or rather, whether Nagato, as a strategic pawn, can get on the right track.

As for how Watanabe Toru manages and develops the Land of Rain,

This has nothing to do with him.

No matter how much the Land of Rain develops, he can crush it with a flick of his wrist.

Madara Uchiha had that kind of confidence.

"Nagato and Watanabe Tetsu have a very good relationship. He now sees Watanabe Tetsu as if he were his own father."

Bai Jue said with a grin.

"Are you on good terms?"

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes.

He would not allow a father figure to guide Nagato.

Nagato's biological father is not suitable, nor is Watanabe Toru.

Such an existence would affect his control over Nagato's future.

This will also affect the development of Nagato.

Ideally, he should appear as a pioneer to guide Nagato onto the right path when Nagato is in despair of the ninja world.

To complete this plan, two conditions are required.

First, Nagato was so disappointed with the world that he had nothing left to care about.

Secondly, before Nagato's values ​​were fully developed, someone tried to mislead him.

A teenager's values ​​are more easily distorted than those of a thirty-something adult.

The same applies to Nagato.

So...

A plan formed in Madara Uchiha's mind.

Perhaps Watanabe Tetsu's existence could be the reason for Nagato's disappointment with this world.

This was also a step to get him involved and to make Nagato one of his own pawns.

Madara Uchiha raised his head, and the turbidity in his eyes gradually became clear.

"Keep a close eye on Nagato and Watanabe Toru, and at the same time, secretly incite hatred among the major ninja villages, and start the Third Shinobi World War as soon as possible."

Madara Uchiha's voice was somewhat excited, and he trembled as he spoke.

"Remember, I want Watanabe Toru to be at the center of the Third Shinobi World War."

"receive!"

White Zetsu immediately stood at attention.

"And haven't you always wanted me to give you a name?"

Madara Uchiha's words prompted White Zetsu to rush to him. White Zetsu clasped his hands in a fist and asked.

"So I'll have a name too!"

Madara Uchiha recalled Nagato's Shinra Tensei, which could send people flying, and then said.

"Ah Fei, from now on you will be called Ah Fei."

"Okay! My name is Afei!"
