Naruto: I'm really not an evil scientist!

A flash of bright light appeared, and his chakra penetrated directly into Hanzo's mind; it was a genjutsu.

Despite possessing the Byakugan, this illusion was completely different from anything I had seen before.

After this thought flashed through Hanzo's mind, he stopped moving.

The Otsutsuki Toneri he attacked turned into a piece of wood, while the real Otsutsuki Toneri slowly emerged from the shadows.

Ignoring the fishman defeated by the puppet, he went straight to Hanzo's side, his palm emitting a soft glow as he reached into Hanzo's body and took out a ball of light.

“That’s right, this is Hiruko’s intelligence.”

Otsutsuki Toneri snorted contemptuously, his eyes filled with disdain after reading Hanzo's memories.

"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You have become so weak and incompetent, only thinking about protecting yourself. A demigod? How utterly ridiculous."

"You, someone like this, dare to call yourself a god?"

"You have a problem with my name?" Hanzo suddenly opened his eyes, breaking free from the illusion. He swung his scythe and fiercely attacked Otsutsuki Toneri.

However, a powerful force suddenly struck, sending him flying and crashing heavily into a wall.

Otsutsuki Toneri mobilized the power of his enormous Tenseigan, golden light condensing in his palm, and coldly said, "The only true gods are the Sage of Six Paths, our ancestors, and me, who will be reborn after destroying everything in the future."

He looked down at the bewildered crowd, his face as cold as ice.

“You are tormented by these ever-increasing sufferings, now let me free you.”

A tiny ray of light fell from Otsutsuki Toneri's hand, and the moment it touched the ground, the light shot out like a surging wave, as if a blazing sun had suddenly risen from the ground.

The people and things around were instantly swallowed up in this endless light and heat.

Hanzo struggled to his feet, and all he could see was the dazzling light and intense heat.

A moment later, the light faded, and he stood on a pile of ruins.

Otsutsuki Toneri gazed at the desolate ruins, closed his eyes slightly, and pondered to himself: He used the Substitution Jutsu to escape at the last moment, but where could he possibly escape to?

When they reappear, they will ultimately meet their demise.

Thinking this, Otsutsuki Toneri glanced at the place where Hanzo had been hiding, but paid it no further attention and headed straight away into the distance.

Although no definitive information about Hiruko was obtained, the battle with Hanzo gave Otsutsuki Toneri a general understanding of Hiruko's power.

Otsutsuki Toneri already knew the situation of Hiruko's subordinates and how he had greatly increased the strength of the villages through his resurrection technique.

However, possessing a giant Tenseigan, he was not afraid of these.

However, judging from the current situation between the Moon and the Ninja World, the Moon side has a small population and is at a complete disadvantage compared to the Ninja World after their merger.

The more Otsutsuki Toneri thought about it, the more his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but wonder: Where exactly is Hiruko hiding now?

Meanwhile, after Hiruko and the others left, Sasuke gained access to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

He didn't immediately set off to seize anything, as there was plenty of time for the handover, and he needed to familiarize himself with the power he had taken over.

It will take some time for Sasuke to adapt to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Finally, Sasuke opened one of the folders and found that it contained a lot of valuable information.

The book includes a detailed explanation of Sage Mode, a research report on the Instantaneous Movement Technique, a White Zetsu breeding manual, a method for making White Zetsu armor, gene cloning and modulation theory, a large-scale application plan for bio-warriors on the battlefield, as well as a series of external technologies such as the connection and utilization of dragon vein energy and cannon assembly.

Upon seeing this information, Sasuke couldn't contain his excitement any longer and burst into wild laughter.

He thought to himself: This world is already mine.

Even though he kept reminding himself that "there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding," and that he should always remain calm and not be arrogant, he still couldn't suppress his excitement at this moment.

Mikoto Uchiha looked at her youngest son with some worry.

Perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, Sasuke seemed somewhat different, coupled with the side effects of awakening his Sharingan.

She always felt that if her youngest son went out to make his way in the world, he would be severely punished and then slink back home in disgrace.

She wasn't afraid that her son would be disciplined, but rather worried about what would happen if Sasuke encountered something bad outside and that guy refused to revive him.

Although she was his woman, he would eventually leave this world.

He's just a passerby; does he even matter to me?

Mikoto Uchiha didn't believe that resurrecting people wouldn't come without a price.

Sasuke was determined to end this name and this era, to bury this twisted and deformed old age.

It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough; it was just that this forbidden knowledge was too tempting. Given enough time to develop, he was sure he could achieve his goal in less than two years.

The flying aircraft carrier constructed from White Zetsu, a floating fortress equipped with shipborne chakra cannons, is like a runaway behemoth, rampaging through the ninja world, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake, and completely shattering order and peace.

"However, I am not someone who simply seeks destruction. For me, the real question is how to build a new and beautiful world on the ruins after destruction." Sasuke pondered the future of the ninja world seriously.

Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan, though seemingly grand, was actually full of loopholes and extremely unreliable. I must learn from his mistakes and never repeat them.

After his initial euphoria at gaining power, Sasuke Uchiha quickly calmed down and fell into deep thought.

He began to peruse the documents left behind by Beiruthu once more.

It must be said that the ideas of outstanding individuals are always ahead of their time. Even if they sometimes seem exaggerated or even arrogant, they still contain many valuable insights.

Take Madara Uchiha for example. He experienced the baptism of cruel war in his childhood and witnessed countless separations, deaths and brutal killings.

From that moment on, he planted a seed of desire to protect in his heart—to protect the people and land he cherished, and to ensure that children could grow up in a peaceful environment, far from the shadow of war.

This forward-thinking idea led him to develop a mutual respect with Hashirama Senju, and they eventually became close friends.

Hashirama was deeply moved by Madara's dream, and Madara also conceived a great idea: to build a world with reasonable planning and scientific allocation of task assignment levels, so that children could grow up carefree and away from the turmoil of war.

This dream later became a shared pursuit for Madara and Hashirama, who joined hands and worked together towards this goal.

Years later, Madara was defeated in his battle against Hashirama.

Hashirama's act of committing suicide with a kunai deeply touched Madara's heart.

Ultimately, the Uchiha and Senju clans reached a reconciliation.

After a series of arduous and extraordinary efforts, the two successfully established Konoha Village.

However, Tobirama Senju was wary of Madara. In order to break up this "golden duo," he deliberately acted sarcastically and caused trouble everywhere, adding many cracks to their friendship.

However, Madara and Hashirama had a deep bond, and these minor frictions were not enough to cause them to break up.

What truly led them to part ways was a huge divergence in their life paths—those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

After the successful establishment of Konoha Village, Madara Uchiha, with his advanced vision, rekindled his ambition to unify the ninja world.

However, Hashirama, who longed for peace and was already weary of war, firmly opposed it, leaving Madara with no choice but to endure it for the time being.

However, Madara's willful nature still caused great childhood trauma to Onoki, who was still young and had not yet made a name for himself. The terrifying scene became a nightmare that Onoki could not shake off.

Later, on the inscription at the Naga Shrine, Madara saw a "path" that Black Zetsu had meticulously tailored for him—a path that only he could create, a world of ultimate beauty where there was only love, no failures, and no sacrifices.

Despite his forward-thinking vision and extremely immature ideas, Madara Uchiha resolutely left the village, even as Hashirama Senju was filled with confusion and desperately tried to persuade him to stay.

It's estimated that even on his deathbed, Hashirama Senju kept wondering why Madara had left him.

Hashirama Senju couldn't understand it at all. In his view, hadn't his childhood dream already come true?

Isn't Konoha Village the culmination of their dreams?

All we need to do now is protect Konoha Village properly. Why bother with those unrealistic things?

He believes that humans will eventually die, and the things we can do in our limited lives are limited. Therefore, we must entrust our dreams to the next generation, nurture them well, and pass on our dreams from generation to generation.

They believed that future generations would fulfill their dreams through their own wisdom, so there was no need for unrealistic grand plans; the key was to live in the present.

It is arrogant and unrealistic to think that a single generation can solve all of humanity's problems.

But Madara Uchiha thought Hashirama was too naive, and he firmly believed that only he could realize that ultimate and beautiful world.

When you have the ability, you may be able to solve many problems, but if you place all your hopes on the next generation, who can know whether the future will get better or worse?

It's just history repeating itself.

It should be understood that not everyone possesses such extraordinary foresight. Even the Senju and Uchiha clans, in a thousand years, have only produced two freaks: Hashirama and Madara.

Although Indra and Asura were their predecessors, they did not possess such formidable strength.

Madara Uchiha once posed that perplexing question of destiny: "Between me and Tobirama, which one would you choose to kill?"

In Ban's view, there are many paths in the world, but ordinary people simply cannot see them.

So he resolutely left the village to explore another path to his true dream, and even enjoyed the fun of dueling with Hashirama, saying some chuunibyou (delusional) things that left Hashirama completely bewildered.

After Madara left the village, Hashirama had to start thinking seriously.

He mentally rehearsed countless times Madara's various possible purposes, and finally rationally decided that if Madara really went completely insane, he would kill Madara with his own hands.

Protect the kind and gentle Madara and the fruit of their shared efforts—Konoha Village.

Unlike Hashirama, who had already made up his mind, Madara remained willful and reckless on his path to realizing his dream, even attempting to enjoy the thrill of fighting Hashirama and pursuing that exhilarating pleasure.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

At that time, Hashirama had already shouldered the fate of the entire ninja world, and his mentality had matured to adulthood, making him aware of the choices he had to make.

But Hashirama's slash was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into his heart and shattering his last vestiges of innocence and fantasy.

The once gentle and kind Hashirama has been turned into such a ruthless and unfamiliar figure by the cruel world, which makes Madara feel that everything is the world's fault.

Despite all that he went through, Madara did not reflect on himself at all. Instead, he became even more determined to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi and create a perfect new world.

He believed himself to be different from those who were trapped in the beautiful dreams woven by others; he was already awake and therefore determined to surpass them.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha, after reviewing past events, arrives at the place where Kaguya was sealed and where he and Naruto clashed again.

He pondered to himself that Uchiha Itachi might have been doing it for his own good, but his despicable actions were even worse than Black Zetsu's, and his lies and deceptions were taken to the extreme.

Sasuke hates lies, despises the ninja profession, and loathes the ninja world created by power.

Chapter 181 Uchiha's Wife's Service

In his view, the ninja world that Hiruko had changed was full of appeal.

He longed to completely destroy this village filled with darkness and rebuild a new world without darkness.

At that moment, Naruto came over and read out Sasuke's thoughts. Sasuke snorted and said, "To have such resolve, you truly are worthy of being my future self."

"But as for my future self, I shouldn't be so stubborn about severing all ties and concentrating all my power, which is clearly impossible."

Can a bond still be called a bond if it can be severed by one's own hands?
