Chapter 247 Obito Madara Encounters Edo Madara
Black Zetsu wanted to continue explaining the details of Orochimaru's plan, but Madara Uchiha impatiently waved his hand, interrupting him directly: "We'll talk about these trivial matters later."
Ban's voice was cold and hard as his eyes swept across the empty theater.
"Do you have anything to add regarding this place?"
Before Ban could finish speaking, at that moment...
Suddenly, blurry lights began to flicker in the previously empty audience seats of the theater.
The light and shadow gradually solidified, coalescing into human form.
The first thing to appear was a short, elderly figure.
It was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Following them were Jiraiya, Kakashi, Obito, and Itachi—
Upon seeing this, Madara Uchiha frowned sharply and coldly surveyed the figures that had appeared.
At the same time, the group of people who had just appeared also noticed the aloof yet familiar figure in the front row!
"Uchiha Madara?!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils suddenly contracted, and he cried out in disbelief.
"How is this possible?!"
"How did this guy end up here?!"
Jiraiya's expression suddenly turned extremely serious as he stared intently at Madara ahead, filled with shock and vigilance.
Kakashi's breath hitched slightly as his mind raced, analyzing the unimaginable situation before him.
"Dead people—even appear here?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Kakashi exchanged glances, a startling thought simultaneously forming in their minds.
It's also possible that Madara Uchiha didn't die at all?
It had been hiding somewhere all along, only to suddenly reveal itself today?!
Obito stared wide-eyed at Madara Uchiha in front of the theater, his body suddenly stiffening, his pupils flashing with shock, confusion, and even panic that he tried his best to hide.
He clearly remembered that Madara had died many years ago, but it was precisely because of this that seeing Uchiha Madara appear here with his own eyes was even more shocking to him.
Uchiha Ryou was relatively calmer, though a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes as well.
His gaze swept back and forth between Madara Uchiha and Obito, and he secretly became more vigilant.
Faced with these horrified or wary gazes, Madara Uchiha merely let out a disdainful snort, not even bothering to look at them directly, as if these figures who dominated the ninja world in this era were nothing more than an insignificant background in his eyes.
Seeing this, Black Zetsu, hidden in Madara's sleeve, quickly explained in a low voice, "Lord Madara, this is the dream world I mentioned to you before, similar to the concept of Infinite Tsukuyomi, but constructed by an unknown force. Our current form of existence is that we've been pulled into this space as spectators."
Black Zetsu seized the opportunity to quickly transmit all the information it had gathered to Madara, including the correspondence between the dream and reality, and the role of the audience seats.
I also briefly introduced the identities of the people involved.
"Hmph, I see—"
Madara Uchiha, with a cold expression, closed his eyes slightly and carefully sensed the space.
The surroundings were empty and dark, devoid of any sign of life, yet one could indeed sense an unusual energy permeating the space, eerily controlling everything.
He slowly opened his eyes and sneered disdainfully, "Hmph! Using dreams to probe people's hearts and weave false comforts? It's nothing but a clumsy imitation of Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Just as Ban was scoffing at it.
Without warning, the huge screen in the center of the theater suddenly lit up.
A blurry figure suddenly appeared on the screen, then quickly became clear, revealing the figure of a black-haired man.
He appeared to be in his early thirties, wearing the classic armor of the Uchiha clan, with a dark cloak bearing the clan's fan emblem draped over his back, standing solemnly in the center of the image.
That handsome face bore a resemblance to Madara Uchiha, but lacked some of the sharpness and coldness, and possessed more gentleness and composure.
It's clearly the image of Uchiha Izuna!
Upon seeing that long-unseen face on the screen, Madara Uchiha's pupils dilated suddenly, and his breath caught in his throat.
A crack appeared on his face, which had been as cold and indifferent as a rock.
Madara Uchiha involuntarily leaned forward slightly, staring intently at Izuna's figure on the light screen, afraid of missing any detail, and lost in thought for the first time in a long time.
Memories that had been buried for many years flashed through Ban's mind.
His younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, collapsed in his arms, covered in blood, his eyes slowly closing—
It felt like something was clenching tightly inside my chest.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Madara have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
However, the next second, he suddenly came to his senses, instantly concealing all his outward emotions and reverting to his arrogant and indifferent demeanor, as if his previous loss of composure had never occurred.
"—That's enough."
He stared at the long-lost figure of his younger brother on the screen, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Let's see what kind of farce this clumsy imitation can produce."
on the screen.
Danzo slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing in the open space in the center of the Konoha training ground.
The ground beneath our feet was flat and firm, and the outlines of the village houses could be seen in the distance.
Everything seemed calm and peaceful, but what stood out against the tranquil morning was a black-haired man with an unusually solemn expression standing in front of him.
At this moment, the man stood with his back to the rising sun, a dark cloak draped over his broad shoulders, his posture dignified and solemn.
Seeing Izuna-sensei's solemn expression, Danzo's heart sank.
Has something terrible happened in Konoha?!
Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine what had happened to make the usually calm and composed Izuna-sensei put on such a battle-ready posture.
Danzo's mind raced as he recalled his experiences in this dream.
An idea naturally came to mind.
Could it be that Madara Uchiha's unbridled bullying of Iwagakure last time has already prompted other ninja villages to plan against Konoha and launch an attack on Konoha?
Even so, it shouldn't make Izuna-sensei so alarmed, right?
With Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, these two legendary powerhouses are guarding Konoha. Even if the other four great ninja villages join forces to attack, what can they do?
Uchiha Izuna's gaze swept over the three boys in front of him, and he said in a deep voice, "You three surely know very well what day it is today!"
He carried a solemn air, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"I'll emphasize my demand one last time: I don't want a resounding victory, I want a complete and utter crushing defeat!"
"Do you understand!"
Uchiha Izuna's voice suddenly rose in pitch, echoing across the training ground and causing several birds perched on the treetops to flutter and take flight.
Danzo was completely bewildered, and his heart sank.
What—what day?
A complete crushing defeat?
Who are we going to deal with?!
Danzo had no idea what he had missed, and with no past memories to refer to, he couldn't understand what Uchiha Izuna was talking about at all.
He forced down his surprise and confusion, tried to calm himself down, and began to quickly analyze the situation before him.
Could it be a competition or exchange between genin from other ninja villages?
Danzo secretly guessed.
Madara Uchiha's reckless actions last time likely provoked discontent from other major ninja villages.
Those villages sent genin to Konoha for "exchanges" in an attempt to save face, which was actually a challenge.
While assessing the situation, he secretly glanced at his companions out of the corner of his eye.
Uchiha Kagami's face was filled with embarrassment and awkwardness. He scratched his cheek and, forcing a smile, softly advised, "Izuna-sensei, how about we just let it go? It doesn't feel right—"
Standing on the other side, Hiruzen Sarutobi also gave a wry smile and chimed in, "Yeah, Izuna-sensei, isn't this going to hurt our relationship? Why do we have to make things like this—"
Seeing this, Danzo nodded to himself.
Judging from his guess, it seems that he is pretty much right; it is indeed the ninjas from other villages who want to have some kind of exchange.
Since Izuna-sensei and Uchiha Madara were brothers, their personalities must have been similar.
Izuna-sensei wants us to completely crush them, probably because he wants to use this opportunity to thoroughly suppress those who are dissatisfied with Konoha, right?
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami hesitated so much probably because they were afraid of going too far and affecting the harmonious relationship between their village and other ninja villages.
Danzo felt he had guessed most of the truth. He looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and sneered inwardly.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're still as cowardly and incompetent as ever.
Other villages have come to cause trouble!
This is clearly no ordinary ninja; we must strike hard!
"What do you know!"
At this moment, Uchiha Izuna also spoke up, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction with the two's retreating attitude.
He glanced coldly at Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha, and reprimanded them without any politeness: "How can you be so cowardly?"
! "
Having said that, he turned his gaze directly to Danzo, who had remained silent until now, his eyes filled with expectation and reliance: "Danzo! Tell me! In the past, you were always the most enthusiastic and supportive of the teacher at times like this! What do you think?!"
"I--""
Danzo was speechless for a moment when the teacher suddenly called on him.
But when he met Izuna-sensei's eyes, which were full of trust and expectation, Danzo felt a jolt in his heart and forcibly suppressed his trepidation and doubt.
Given the current situation, both Kagami and Hiruzen Sarutobi are backing down, and Izuna-sensei is the only one hoping to make a statement.
If I hesitated and stammered at this moment, I'm afraid I would greatly disappoint the teacher!
Besides—his previous guess was probably correct; at most, it would just be a match with a genin from another village. What was there to be afraid of?
No matter what, we must not let our teachers down!
Thinking of this, Danzo took a deep breath, straightened his chest abruptly, and answered loudly, "Yes! Izuna-sensei! I'll do whatever you say! I'll follow your arrangements!"
"I will definitely follow the teacher's wishes and crush them mercilessly!"
He spoke with unwavering conviction, his words resounding throughout the training ground.
After Danzo finished speaking, he nodded emphatically, his expression one of unwavering confidence.
He has every right to say that.
After all, from childhood to adulthood, Hiruzen Sarutobi had always been the best among them.
In this world, Danzo has easily crushed Hiruzen Sarutobi on numerous occasions, and even received several praises from Izuna-sensei.
He was quite adept at tormenting Hiruzen Sarutobi, handling the situation with ease!
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, a genius of Konoha, is not enough to compare, let alone those other so-called genin from other villages.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Izuna's gloomy expression instantly brightened, and he broke into a hearty smile.
He patted Danzo on the shoulder forcefully, his eyes full of approval, and laughed loudly, "Danzo! I knew I hadn't misjudged you! You are truly Master's most capable right-hand man!"
"As expected of one of my students with the strongest will to fight!"
As he spoke, Izuna turned and glared at Uchiha Kagami, saying with considerable displeasure, "Did you hear that, Kagami? You should learn from Danzo! As a member of the Uchiha clan, your willpower is even weaker than that of a Shimura brat!"
"Yes, yes—the teacher is right—" Uchiha Kagami was embarrassed by the scolding and lowered his head awkwardly, not daring to say another word in his defense.
The sudden praise left Danzo momentarily stunned.
His chest heaved slightly, and it took him a while to come to his senses.
Izuna-sensei values him so much that he even uttered the phrase "Will of Fire"!
Danzo was both surprised and puzzled.
Will of Fire
In his understanding, this was the philosophy that Hashirama Senju initially promoted, representing his love and dedication to the village.
Could the "Will of Fire" spoken of by Uchiha Izuna, an Uchiha clan member, be the same as that advocated by Senju Hashirama?
Regardless, being so highly praised and trusted by his teacher gave Danzo a sense of satisfaction and pride he had never felt before.
This feeling was something he had never experienced in reality.
At least, Tobirama-sensei had never praised him like that.
Danzo was at a loss for words and could only stand there upright.
At this moment, Izuna-sensei's appreciation and trust in him may be the perfect opportunity that fate has given him to make up for his past regrets!
With the unwavering support of his beloved disciple, Uchiha Izuna was in high spirits.
He suddenly raised his arm and pointed with high spirits in a certain direction outside the training ground, announcing in a loud voice, "Very good! Since Danzo has said so too! Then let's set off!"
Uchiha Izuna's eyes suddenly blazed with fierce fighting spirit, even mixed with some inexplicable obsession.
"Today, we'll show that arrogant Senbōma what's what!"
"Even as teachers, the difference between him and me is like heaven and earth!"
"More importantly, we need to let him know that all the students he taught are rubbish compared to my students!"
"ah?!!"
Danzo was stunned and couldn't help but shout out.
His jaw nearly dropped to the ground, his mouth was agape enough to fit an egg, and he was completely petrified on the spot!
Danzo stiffly turned his gaze to the left and right, only to see Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kagami Uchiha, their faces full of helplessness, clearly aware of Izuna Uchiha's astonishing plan.
What, what are you doing?!
So it wasn't about defending against foreign enemies after all?!
Yes—go find Tobirama-sensei and his students—
And you want to—completely crush them?!
[Ding! Danzo's emotional fluctuations in Shishi Village have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
The huge information gap left Danzo feeling like his brain was buzzing and his thoughts were in complete chaos.
At that moment, his mind was completely blank, and he even wondered if he had just been hallucinating—...
