Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

"If I fail, it will be up to you to resurrect me in the future."

What Madara Uchiha didn't know was that the will he had just separated had already been taken over by something else.

Black Zetsu, who had been observing from the shadows, seized the opportunity to directly replace Madara's original will.

"If I die, that kid will definitely bury my body, and then you guys can take it back..."

Madara Uchiha said to Black Zetsu.

Then, he beckoned, and a white Zetsu respectfully handed over a scroll.

"This is a ninjutsu that Tobirama researched that can summon the dead."

His plan was simple: use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to return to the ninja world, then transplant the Rinnegan into a pawn, allowing it to use the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive him.

If he can be resurrected in peak condition, the "Eye of the Moon" plan will definitely be realized!

Black Zetsu took the scroll and nodded.

"I understand."

It didn't expect that Madara Uchiha would come up with such a backup plan. It seems that the resurrection of his mother is just around the corner!

It can only be said that it was thanks to Tobirama Senju that the [Edo Tensei] technique was developed!

Madara Uchiha waved his hand, signaling Black Zetsu to leave, and then closed his eyes again to recover.

If the plan goes smoothly, there will be no need for a backup plan.

If it fails, it's not a big problem.

……

……

P.S.: Black Zetsu: "The MVP is Tobirama Senju!"

Chapter 511 This idea is truly mind-blowing!

Just as Madara Uchiha had predicted, Renya had no intention of extracting the Rinnegan.

This thing is too powerful; it could pose a great danger in the future!

Take Nagato, for example. After acquiring the Rinnegan, he was misled and almost destroyed the ninja world.

Rather than stay here, I'd rather rot along with Madara Uchiha's corpse.

Hashirama Senju and Renya shared the same view: they would not use their close friend's corpse for research.

The two agreed to bury Ban in a secluded location.

As for the exact location, even that old bastard Tobirama Senju didn't know.

Only in this way can we ensure that Grandpa Ban's body is completely safe!

To prevent malicious individuals from resummoning it.

Lianye originally planned to wait until she caught the mastermind Black Zetsu and then use the Samsara Rebirth Technique to revive Uchiha Madara.

Let him see reality: the "Eye of the Moon" plan is nothing more than a conspiracy by people with ulterior motives.

But then I thought better of it.

Putting aside the question of whether they can capture Black Zetsu, that guy is Kaguya's will, which ordinary people cannot detect, let alone capture.

And even if Madara Uchiha knew the truth, would he really be content to retire peacefully?

The ideal I've always pursued turns out to be a lie.

Grandpa Ban's Dao heart will surely be shattered.

Rather than letting him live in misery in the days to come, it would be better to give up on the idea of ​​resurrecting him through reincarnation.

In the end, Lianye did not inherit the Rinnegan he had longed for; let those eyes be buried along with their owner.

"Lianye, where do you want to bury Ban?"

A few days later, Renya and Senju Hashirama left Konoha, intending to find a secluded spot to bury Madara.

"Uncle Hashirama, I want to bury Lord Madara at the spot where you first met."

Upon hearing this, Hashirama Senju fell into deep thought and murmured softly.

"Where did you first meet?"

He couldn't help but recall the scene he saw on the riverbank decades ago.

That was the first time he had seen his close friend who had faked his death and escaped; he was overwhelmed with emotion.

The two then engaged in a fierce chase.

In his current state, he shouldn't have been able to catch up with Madara at all, but fortunately, Madara, out of consideration for their past friendship, deliberately slowed down to wait for him.

He still can't forget the scene.

"I understand, we'll bury Madara there!" Hashirama Senju said excitedly.

In the future, when he visits his close friend's grave, he can chat with him and reminisce about what happened...

And so, after three days of trekking, Hashirama Senju, accompanied by Renya, arrived at the riverbank where the two had first met.

It's called a river, but it's actually just a small stream nestled in the woods.

Decades have passed, and the once-bustling stream has long since dried up, with the sand and stones at the bottom proving that it once existed.

"Uncle Hashirama, is this where you two met?"

Looking at the desolate surroundings, Renye realized that it was nothing like the beautiful scene that Uncle Hashirama had described on the way.

Where are the promised green mountains and clear waters?

Bare trees, dried-up streams, and withered grass.

"I didn't expect the environment to have changed like this after decades." Hashirama Senju scratched his head awkwardly.

I never imagined that in just over a decade, the environment here would be completely different.

"Let's change our environment."

Hashirama Senju could not allow his close friend to be buried in such a desolate place; he needed to find a propitious burial site.

The two continued their search for the location to bury Madara Uchiha in the ninja world.

Black Zetsu, who was secretly following behind: "..."

What are the cook and Hashirama Senju up to?!

So many days have passed, and they still haven't decided where to bury the person!

If you ask me, I'd just buy any piece of land.

Anyway, you buried it no sooner than I moved the body away.

In the eyes of Renya and Hashirama, the dead are respected, especially the deceased, Uchiha Madara.

We definitely need to find a good place to bury him.

This kind of thing can't be taken lightly!

After several more days of trekking, the two still hadn't decided where to bury the person.

Black Zetsu almost had a mental breakdown.

If it weren't for the fact that Ban's corpse was in a storage scroll, it would have worried that the body would have rotted after so many days.

There won't be any Rinnegan by then...

Where can it revive Madara Uchiha and rescue its mother who has been sealed away for a thousand years?!

Fortunately, the storage scroll has a similar function to insurance, so there is no risk of the corpse rotting if it is stored for a short period of time.

Just when Black was feeling speechless and devastated, the two finally decided on the location to bury Uchiha Madara.

In a cave somewhere in the ninja world.

Renya and Senju Hashirama looked at the familiar furniture and bed inside the cave and were lost in memories.

"So much time has passed, but this place is still the same as before!" Hashirama Senju couldn't help but sigh.

This cave is arguably the longest-inhabited cave since Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha became cavemen.

Lianye also stayed there for some time during that period.

It's full of memories!

"Uncle Hashirama, is it appropriate for us to bury Lord Madara here?"

Lian Ye said with a strange expression.

He always felt that burying people in caves was just strange...

Imagine someone passing by who wants to rest in a cave for the night, only to find a tomb inside.

Doesn't it seem weird?

"Haha, I think it's fine!" Hashirama Senju said with a smile. "Madara and I have lived here the longest, so I believe he won't object."

"Moreover, this place is sparsely populated and almost no one comes here. Ban's body will be buried here and will not be disturbed."

Seeing this, Lianye nodded subconsciously.

Although it feels a bit strange to bury Madara in a cave, Hashirama's words make sense.

Since Grandpa Ban was able to live here for so long, he must have liked the environment here. It's better to bury him here than somewhere else.

Just as Uncle Hashirama said, this place is deserted and no one comes back.

Even if someone happened to pass by that day, they wouldn't be interested in the grave in the cave, much less know that the grave's owner was actually the former Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara!

The two reached an agreement, and soon a burial mound appeared inside the cave.

"Should we clean these pieces of furniture?" Lian Ye asked curiously.

"No need. We can come here to cook a meal and keep Madara company whenever we miss him," Hashirama Senju waved his hand.

“That makes sense.” Lian Ye nodded in agreement.

Keep the bed and table for now; we might need to stay here again sometime.

Consider it a return to familiar places to reminisce about the past.

After all, the days they spent living in the cave were indeed a part of their lost youth.

Black Zetsu: "..."

These two guys are so weird.

It was the first time in all its years of life that it had ever seen someone buried in a cave.

It's no wonder he's Hashirama Senju; he even thought of living next to a grave.

This is truly an amazing idea.

I wonder what kind of expression Madara will have when he is resurrected by Edo Tensei and learns about this.

Chapter 512 Madara Uchiha Descends Upon the Shinobi World

"I'm sorry, Madara, I couldn't stop you from abandoning the 'Eye of the Moon' project."

Standing before his friend's grave, Hashirama Senju spoke with a look of remorse.

He did not choose to erect a monument for his friend, fearing that future generations would disrespect his body.

If he had been able to stop Madara, things wouldn't be like this.

If, in the early days of Konoha's founding, one could have noticed that Madara's condition was not right and offered timely advice.

Perhaps then, Madara wouldn't have implemented the "Eye of the Moon" plan, nor would he have chosen to kill his best friend for the sake of the village.

Over the years, he has lived with the guilt of killing Ban.

Even after learning from Renya that Madara Uchiha had used Izanagi to fake his death and escape, his guilt did not disappear.

It's just been hidden in my heart all along.
