The Master of Konoha's Legacy

[Chapter 271. Seeing Through the Intentions, the True Colors Are Revealed]

After a long while, Madara Uchiha emerged from his memories, exhaled softly, and said calmly:

What is a lilac?

Uchiha Tonan didn't even know if lilacs existed in the ninja world, so he just made one up:

“It’s a very common wildflower, but it involves a little secret between her and me.”

"Um......"

Madara Uchiha nodded slightly and didn't ask any further questions.

These kinds of little secrets are normal.

It's like having someone behind you and then being unable to pee.

This is a little secret between myself and Hashirama Senju.

What Uchiha Tonan just said was just an appetizer.

This was to introduce his own philosophy and see if he could gain Madara's approval.

But then Uchiha Tonan raised his head, blinked hard, and said with a sorrowful expression:

"Later...the father of my most respected Konoha hero...and also my best friend's father..."

...and then there were the clansmen with whom he had a very good relationship...the Grand Elder...

So many...one by one, the people around me are dying....

As he spoke, Uchiha Tonan shifted his knees forward, raised his head, and pointed to his Mangekyou Sharingan, saying:

"Grandpa Ban, you've also opened the kaleidoscope before."

You should understand how much pain and torment lies behind those eyes.

If I were truly that kind of despicable person.

my heart.....

How could it hurt....

At this point, Uchiha Tonan's lips turned pale, seemingly showing signs of excessive grief.

Madara Uchiha lowered his eyes, gazing at Tonan Uchiha's sincere Mangekyou Sharingan, and murmured, "That makes sense..."

Uchiha Tonan gasped for breath a few times, then abruptly stood up, took a few steps back, and said with a slightly serious expression:

"I am a person who lives in darkness, yet yearns for the light."

But I've always been very confused and don't know what to do.

Until that day, I saw the inscription on the stone tablet…

Uchiha Tonan slowly opened his arms, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism, and declared loudly:

"I want to create a society where people understand each other."

No war! No hatred! No injustice!

A world where only love exists!

I have nothing left, absolutely nothing.

The only belief that sustains my life is to activate the Eye of the Moon and end the suffering in the world.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan stared intently into Uchiha Madara's eyes.

The entire underground world fell into a deathly silence.

Madara Uchiha's expression didn't change much; he and Tonan Uchiha simply stared at each other silently.

After a long while, Madara Uchiha's eyes gradually revealed deep hostility, and he said in a cold voice:

"The Eye of the Moon..."

So, in the end, you just want to know where my eyes are, right?

Uchiha Tonan's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, this guy's got the wrong idea.....

This was indeed a miscalculation on Uchiha Tonan's part; he only thought about gaining Madara's approval through his ideology.

However, they forgot that activating the Moon Eye requires the Rinnegan, which possesses the power of all things in the universe, as a prerequisite.

This, in turn, made Madara Uchiha wary of him.

It's truly... like lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.

But then Uchiha Tonan quickly explained:

"Grandpa Ban, you're overthinking it."

I'm not interested in what kind of eyes.

All I want is for this world to eventually activate the Eye of the Moon and achieve lasting peace.

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly upon hearing this and said leisurely:

"Some things, I can create myself."

If you want to get involved, then you're my competitor.

Everyone in this world is selfish, corrupt, ignorant, and hypocritical...

Some people just don't realize it.

I won't trust anyone.

Uchiha Tonan wanted to say something more to see if he could salvage the situation.

But suddenly, Uchiha Tonan caught a glimpse of something unusual in Madara's eyes.

That look... it's not distrust.

Instead, it was tension...

He's worried about me... he's afraid of me...

From the moment I arrived until now, everything he has done has had only one purpose.

That means rejecting me without provoking me, so that I can leave quickly.

At that moment, all of Uchiha Tonan's feigned expressions vanished instantly.

She stood quietly in front of Madara Uchiha, her eyes lowered, looking down at him.

Madara Uchiha did not meet Uchiha Tonan's gaze, but stared blankly at Obito lying on the ground.

The entire underground world was eerily quiet.

Madara Uchiha could only hear his own faint heartbeat and breathing.

"You're afraid," Uchiha Tonan said indifferently.

Madara Uchiha was stunned upon hearing this, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and then threw his head back and laughed loudly:

You're saying I'm scared?

Haha.....

I am the Asura of the Ninja World... Uchiha Madara!

You actually said I was scared?

Your joke...it really brings me a long-lost sense of joy...

Uchiha Tonan remained expressionless and stated a fact as if stating something:

"You have lost your former strength, but you cannot let go of your former pride."

You're afraid I'll lay a hand on you, but you can't fight back.

What you fear is not death, but the fear that your pride and dignity will be trampled and humiliated by a junior.

Like... a dog.

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's face instantly turned ferocious and terrifying, and he said viciously, "Do you want to die...?"

Indeed, strength is a person's greatest source of confidence.

If you're still in your prime, you won't get angry at all.

Look at yourself now, you're like a useless old dog, trying to scare away danger with your barking.

After saying that, Uchiha Tonan reached out and grabbed Uchiha Madara by the neck, slowly lifting him up.

"Old man, you had a lot of fun playing tricks on me just now, didn't you?"

Madara Uchiha lowered his eyes, staring intently at Tonan Uchiha, a satisfied smile spreading across his lips as he said:

"Ahem~ Hahaha...."

They've finally shown their true colors.

You're actually the Iwagakure ninja who buried Obito, aren't you?

Whenever a strong person appears in this world, they will come into my view.

That Iwagakure ninja just appeared out of nowhere, and then you showed up here today.

Do you think I'd believe the nonsense you just spouted?

The kaleidoscope represents suffering, but the Uchiha clan will do anything for power.

I've seen plenty of people kill their loved ones and even their closest friends and family.

If I'm not mistaken.

"Those people you mentioned, you deserve a lot of credit for their deaths, don't you?"

Uchiha Tonan's eyes remained completely expressionless as he calmly said:

"Are you feeling smug? It seems you haven't grasped the current situation."

A hint of disdain flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes as he said:
