"Kid, you will soon understand just how foolish it is to try to stop me from realizing the Eye of the Moon Plan!"
Uchiha Madara looked at the wrecked cave and murmured softly.
Next, he formed hand seals and once again summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in order to keep his physical abilities from declining further.
After recovering for some days, he would then go to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails.
Even knowing that the Nine-Tails jinchūriki was Hashirama's wife, Uchiha Madara would not choose to give up capturing a tailed beast.
In front of the Eye of the Moon Plan, anyone could be abandoned.
Moreover, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path did not need to fully absorb the entire tailed beast's chakra; absorbing a portion was enough.
If Hashirama had any sense, Madara might even spare Uzumaki Mito's life.
"Hashirama, the true peace of the shinobi world will be opened by me!"
Uchiha Madara said this and slowly closed his eyes.
He couldn't help but recall the scene of the two of them discussing how to end the wars in the future and bring peace to the shinobi world…
Hashirama's plan had failed, so now only his plan remained.
Although Renya had once reminded him that the Eye of the Moon Plan had many flaws, he always firmly believed that what was written on the stone tablet was not wrong.
That kid simply didn't acknowledge it, that was all.
You can never hope to wake someone who pretends to be asleep; in Madara's eyes, both Hashirama and Renya were such people.
Ignorant and content with the status quo.
Facing such people, he just needed to let them see the day the plan was realized.
Only the last two tailed beasts remained; the realization of peace in the shinobi world was just around the corner!
He looked forward to the arrival of that day.
...
Konoha Village, Senju Hashirama's residence.
"Madara, did he still capture the Six-Tails?" Senju Hashirama asked, his expression solemn.
In that case, only the dead Three-Tails and the Nine-Tails inside Mito's body remained.
No matter what, he could not let Madara gather all nine tailed beasts.
Whether for the sake of protecting his wife's safety, or because he did not want Madara to carry out a world-destroying plan,
he could not allow his best friend to succeed!
"Why didn't you tell me something so important in advance?!"
Senju Tobirama looked at Renya with a dark face, speaking unhappily.
If this kid had told him earlier what Uchiha Madara wanted the tailed beasts for, he would have already killed the Six-Tails.
The only reason he hadn't done so was that he hadn't clarified the specific use of the tailed beasts…
"Uchiha Madara is watching very closely. As long as I transmit information, it will definitely alert him."
Renya scratched his head awkwardly, working hard to defend himself.
In fact, he wasn't lying; there had always been White Zetsu secretly monitoring him, and if he dared to tell Senju Tobirama the truth,
the moment he said it, Madara would immediately know…
Also, he had his own selfish motives—he wanted to resolve the Eye of the Moon Plan in his own way, then bring Madara back to the village to retire, and then inherit Madara's legacy.
Unfortunately, Renya underestimated Uchiha Madara's strength; he hadn't expected that even at seventy, Madara still possessed tremendous power.
This ultimately led to the plan's failure, while also allowing Madara to capture the Six-Tails.
Uchiha Madara was no fool; he had long seen that Renya had problems, so the moment he awakened the Rinnegan, he summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to slow his body's aging.
If he hadn't done that, Renya might really have succeeded.
After hearing Renya's explanation, Senju Tobirama no longer continued to blame him.
Uchiha Madara was innately evil and cunning; it was normal that Renya couldn't outplay him.
It seemed the one to stop Uchiha Madara would have to be him!
Ever since Konoha's founding, he had devoted himself to developing ninjutsu to deal with the Uchiha clan.
He had thought there'd be no chance to use it, but unexpectedly, it was going to come in handy in his lifetime.
Innately evil Uchiha Madara, this old man will personally end your sinful life right now!
"Kid, what specific abilities does Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan have?" Senju Tobirama suddenly asked.
To deal with Uchiha Madara, he definitely needed to know Madara's trump cards.
Renya had been with that guy for so long; he definitely knew the general abilities of Uchiha Madara's eyes and his current physical condition.
With increasing age, their physical condition had declined severely; there was no reason Uchiha Madara could remain at his peak.
Even if he possessed the legendary Rinnegan, it could not change the fact of his declining condition.
As long as the plan was coordinated properly, they could still defeat Madara!
"His Rinnegan possesses…"
Renya described the Rinnegan's abilities in full detail.
Knowing intelligence before battle was very important; otherwise, being killed by information disparity would be a huge loss.
Although having information did not guarantee victory, at least they wouldn't be killed by some inexplicable technique.
The other abilities were still manageable, but Limbo: Border Jail had to be explained in detail!
That ability was far too ominous.
Even knowing about it, there were no truly effective countermeasures; at best, it would let them be mentally prepared in advance, so they wouldn't be caught completely off guard when the time came.
"Madara's Rinnegan is really strong!" Senju Hashirama couldn't help praising.
If Madara had possessed the Rinnegan during the battle at the Valley of the End, it would have been very hard for him to win.
"Big brother, we are discussing countermeasures, not whether it's strong or not!"
Senju Tobirama was almost angered to death by his brother's bizarre train of thought.
With Uchiha Madara practically on his way to attack them, his big brother still had the mood to praise Madara's eyes.
He was already annoyed just knowing Madara's abilities, and his big brother still said this sort of thing…
Didn't he know this was a very serious matter?
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Senju Hashirama scratched his head awkwardly and said weakly.
He was simply astonished by the change in his best friend—after just a few years apart, Madara had awakened new power.
Truly worthy of being Madara!
It was just a pity he was crippled now; otherwise, he'd definitely want to spar with his best friend a bit.
"Danzo, pass down the order: Konoha enters wartime alert status."
After thinking for a moment, Senju Tobirama issued the first command.
"If there is any disturbance at all, you must inform me immediately."
"Yes, Tobirama-sensei!"
Shimura Danzo didn't hesitate at all and immediately sent people to relay the order.
"Hiruzen, Koharu, Kagami, Homura, from this moment on, you are the guards of the Nine-Tails jinchūriki. You must ensure her safety!"
Next, Senju Tobirama issued the second command.
"Understood, Tobirama-sensei!" the four replied in unison.
A series of arrangements issued from Senju Tobirama's mouth, and the ninja of Konoha patrolled the streets.
Around the Senju clan's compound, countless elite jōnin were stationed.
Not even a fly could get in.
"Tobirama, what do I need to do?" Senju Hashirama asked curiously.
"Big brother, you don't need to do anything. Just stay by sister-in-law's side."
Senju Tobirama looked deeply at his big brother and spoke slowly.
He was gambling that when the time came, his big brother would be able to persuade Uchiha Madara to give up the Eye of the Moon Plan.
The two had lived together for over ten years; it was impossible there were no feelings at all.
Given their relationship, his big brother had a chance to stop Madara.
"Kid, come with me."
After finishing the arrangements, Senju Tobirama led Renya back home.
