Simultaneous travel, the night of genocide begins

It’s over.

Ruined.

Black Zetsu had never felt so desperate in his heart as he did right now.

Even the appearance of Baichou only made Black Zetsu feel that Uchiha had just produced another wall-hanger.

Just like the Kamui Mangekyō Eye Jutsu awakened by Uchiha Obito.

Anyway, the lifespan of a ninja is only a hundred years or so.

Even if you really wait until the time when nothing can be done.

All he has to do is hide and wait for Bai Chou's life to be wasted, right?

He was even an expert in tomb robbing, and he could even steal Bai Chou's pair of kaleidoscopes after Bai Chou's death!

To be honest, if it weren't for the Rain Country incident, the Rinnegan that they originally placed in Nagato's eye socket would now have been taken away by Bai Chou.

And Black Zetsu is also afraid that Baichou will destroy the Rinnegan.

As a result, the hope of rescuing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was lost.

Even if he had gathered all the tailed beasts, and was confident that he could use the Impure World Reincarnation of Uchiha Madara to search for the method of using the power of the magnetic field through illusion, Black Zetsu actually did not dare to cause trouble for Bai Chou.

but now……

It would be better to destroy the Rinnegan!

Even if he really lost the Rinnegan, Black Zetsu could not guarantee that he would ever meet a high-quality tool person like Uchiha Madara, who could awaken the Rinnegan on his own and could be deceived by him.

But there is still a chance of encountering this tool person.

But after the Ten-Tails is gone, the probability of finding another Ten-Tails...

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--!!"

For the first time since his birth, Black Zetsu was full of despair about his future.

——"Is this voice Black Zetsu?"

——"It's really unbecoming. What on earth has he, my will, experienced in these years? However, I have no right to say anything about him..."

It was as if the attack was intended to pierce through his very soul.

The pain this attack brought to Uchiha Madara would have been unbearable if Black Zetsu's voice had not been so despairing.

Coupled with the connection between Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, Black Zetsu's desperate cry erupted deep in Uchiha Madara's heart, awakening his gradually collapsing spirit.

His soul's instinct might be to give up thinking and fall asleep forever in this unbearable pain.

But what can he do if he wakes up at this time?

The moment the Hell-Piercing Sword pierced his body, his death was certain.

Neither the recovery ability of the Impure World Reincarnation nor the recovery ability of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki can save him now.

He couldn't even muster the strength to die together with Bai Chou.

Of course, Uchiha Madara can also choose to cut off his connection with Black Zetsu.

Let his body and mind return to the peaceful state of giving up thinking.

But how could Uchiha Madara possibly do something like this to avoid death?

So in this last time of life.

Uchiha Madara, who had been dominating the entire ninja world since his resurrection, felt that even though he was now a reincarnated body, he could still clear all obstacles in the Moon Eye Plan and was completely invincible.

My mood now is surprisingly calm.

Even time seemed to stand still because of this.

——"By the way, it seems that Hashirama pierced my heart with his sword in the same way back then."

——"I didn't expect that I would die again in the same way, piercing my heart..."

But this time, his death ending was not rewritten by Izanagi as planned.

But at the same time, it is different from the ending where no one would be sad about his death.

This time, it seemed that some people would be saddened by his death.

——"So, Impure World Reincarnation can cry? Or is it that your tearful nature has affected Impure World Reincarnation and caused it to shed tears, Hashirama?"

——"No, no, no, I should say that you, Hashirama, actually cried for my death? When you chose to kill me, you didn't shed any tears..."

Is it a revolving lantern before death?

Or is the life span of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki really that long?

Even if he couldn't save Uchiha Madara, whose soul was killed along with him, at least he could have some time to take another look at the world during this countdown to death?

Uchiha Madara saw the tears shed by Hashirama Senju and his attempt to rush over to save him.

But these were not the questions he was thinking about in his heart.

Instead, I think Hashirama Senju is really an idiot.

Even Black Zetsu could see that he was beyond help.

What's the point of rushing over now?

It will only increase casualties.

——"But you seem to have always been like this, a fool who doesn't care about the consequences."

——"That was how we first met. You had seen that I was throwing shuriken when I started skipping stones, and you knew I was a ninja. But you still took the initiative to expose yourself, and even showed me your ninja ability to walk on water."

——"In that era when any ninja who is not from your family is your enemy, you did something so stupid..."

——"And after knowing that I was a ninja from the Uchiha clan, you still insisted on our old dream..."

——"Only an idiot like you would do such a thing."

An accidental skipping of stones in water when he was a child marked the beginning of his acquaintance with Hashirama Senju.

Then, for some unknown reason, we met again several times in this place where we had played chess before. We went from being strangers to being familiar with each other, and then to being close friends who talked about the future and discussed dreams with each other.

And in this frequent communication, they were inevitably discovered by their respective parents, and then became enemies again.

With the help of Hashirama Senju's military force and the same dream they once had, he once again worked together to establish the Konohagakure Village.

Everything seems to be moving towards their dream.

But Tobirama Senju, the naturally evil old demon, still tirelessly caused trouble for him, making him realize that the ninja village system could ultimately fail to bring peace to the ninja world.

In fact, his judgment was correct.

Then the Moon Eye Project began.

……

During this long period of time, scenes of memories kept flashing in Uchiha Madara's mind.

Sometimes he would smile, and sometimes he would frown, unable to hide the sadness in his heart.

——"Is my time running out?"

It was just that Uchiha Madara's various emotions about his memories had only just emerged not long ago.

The pain coming from his soul was becoming more and more unbearable, and even he was forced to continue using memories to distract himself from the pain, so as not to scream out in pain in front of Hashirama Senju.

As time goes by, it gradually becomes difficult to do.

——"Hashirama, I have always seemed to be losing to you, but I don't want to die more miserably than you, and let you see me unable to endure the pain. So..."

Have you decided?

Decided!

Since his death was already a foregone conclusion.

Since the Moon Eye Project ultimately failed because of this.

Then let him use this last time to do something a little more willful!

Uchiha Madara forced a smile on his face with difficulty.

He somehow managed to squeeze out the last bit of strength from his body.

Let his hands move again and merge together!

"Hashirama, this is my reward for bringing you back to life through the Impure World Reincarnation!"

"From now on, I don't owe you anything anymore!"

He used the last bit of his strength here on Uchiha Madara, and he shouted loudly, along with his final "reward" for Senju Hashirama.

Shouting out: "——Outer Path Reincarnation Natural Art!!"

That's right!

Not to attack.

It's not about defense.

He even ignored the Ten-Tails that was still wailing inside him.

Uchiha Madara performed this technique with his last bit of strength at the last moment of his life.

It turns out to be such a technique that has no lethality and is not even in line with the inherent impression given by Uchiha Madara. It is a technique that is specifically used to sacrifice oneself for others!

A reincarnation technique that requires sacrificing his life in order to fully revive Hashirama Senju! ?

"Youngster... no, Emperor Uchiha Baichou. I am inferior to you in skills, and I have nothing to say about my defeat at your hands."

"But before my life is gone, I have a request..."

Is this what it feels like to ask someone for something?

Ever since Black Zetsu begged Bai Chou for help, Uchiha Madara has been despising Black Zetsu and even constantly cutting ties with Black Zetsu. He doesn't want to admit that Black Zetsu, who is arrogant at first and humble later and does something laughable when you think about it, would be his will.

At this moment, it felt like a boomerang hitting me back.

His mood was quite complicated, and he asked Baichou: "...Please give my current Samsara Eye to Hashirama."

"There is only one god in the world. He wants peace and tranquility, so he divides the forces of yin and yang. The two forces repel each other, but when they become one, they give birth to all things in the universe... This is what is written on the stone tablet in Nanga Shrine. With your eyesight, you should be able to see it."

"At the beginning, I took a piece of flesh from Hashirama based on the words on this stone tablet, which enabled me to awaken the Samsara Eye. If I can rely on Hashirama's power to awaken the Samsara Eye, then I think Hashirama can also do the opposite and become stronger after implanting my eyes."

It's not just the injuries caused by the Hell-Piercing Sword.

The loss of vitality caused by the art of reincarnation.

Under the double destruction of soul and vitality, the speed of pushing Uchiha Madara into the abyss was further accelerated.

In this state, not to mention Uchiha Madara himself, he himself is dying.

Even if he was in perfect condition.

I'm afraid it's not enough to use the recovery ability of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki mode to keep him alive.

There was no way to stop his body from breaking into pieces and scattering them.

But even so.

Uchiha Madara used his last strength to protect his eyes, and his eyes became almost pleading as he said to Baichou: "After my death, if there is anyone who can satisfy you, the Emperor, I'm afraid the only one left is Hashirama who has obtained my eyes."

"So Emperor, I beg you to allow Hashirama a chance to compete with you!"

It's hard to believe that these are words that Uchiha Madara would say.

He never asked for help from others, even when he founded Konoha Village with Hashirama Senju.

It was after Hashirama Senju completely defeated him and even threatened to commit suicide to ask for help from him that Uchiha Madara was able to form an alliance between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan.

He actually begged Bai Chou, who was his descendant by blood, at the end of his life! ?

Not deaf.

After being performed the Rinnegan Technique by Uchiha Madara, Hashirama Senju recovered to his prime. How could he not know what kind of awareness Uchiha Madara had that made him say this?

Facing the arrogant Uchiha Madara, he had to do it even if it meant giving up his dignity.

From the enemy's perspective, Bai Chou should not agree to it no matter how he looks at it.

Just like him, who is very interested in the Otsutsuki clan and the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique.
