In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

Lister showed Muzan the empty villa.

"Here's the thing, I plan to build holiday villas in this red maple forest, to provide a place for every alien who comes to my territory to rest."

"But my territory can't provide decent furniture in a short time, so it's really difficult to furnish these villas inside and out."

"Ms. Muzan, the Western world you live in is developing rapidly. With your abilities and taste, you should be able to decorate the villa well."

"Of course, you can designate a villa for yourself during this period, and I will arrange for someone to clean it regularly."

???

It was indeed a small favor, but why did she go to all that trouble?!

"If you can complete this, I would be very grateful, and perhaps the progress bar will rise considerably."

"Furthermore, I can allow you to bring your subordinates to assist, so you won't need to do it yourself."

"how?"

Looking at Lister's confident smile, Muzan felt an urge to tear him apart.

Damn it! Reason told her she should help; it was just a trivial matter that didn't require her personal intervention, merely involving the funds from her disguised human identity.

Decorating a villa can also get you some money.

However, she must keep it a secret; her ability to travel to another world cannot be revealed casually.

Lister could guess Muzan's psychological changes just by looking at her constantly changing expression.

After Yoriichi Tsugikuni's death, the strongest being in Muzan's world is herself, and even if Muzan brings demons over, she can't do anything about it.

With a single thought, any ghost in his world will be banished back to its original world.

Furthermore, the whereabouts of all otherworldly beings who come to this world will be recorded by the system, so even if Muzan sends his subordinates to hide, he will know immediately.

Liszt almost wanted to exclaim.

He finally had a brief moment of exhilaration, a sense of control over everything.

It's great that Muzan Kibutsuji lives in a low-level martial arts world, which reduces many of his worries.

He used to be very careful in everything he did.

"I do!"

After careful consideration, Muzan Kibutsuji agreed to the first request.

Lister smiled and nodded, then asked.

"Would the Miserable Lady like to take a tour of my castle?"

"By the way, I will tell you about things in this world."

Can't ask for it.

She wanted to know what was in this strange, otherworldly place.

Lister then led Muzan to his castle and began to introduce her to the basic situation of this world, including powers such as blood energy, arcane magic, and holy light, as well as powerful figures like Madara and Aizen.

Upon hearing this, Muzan felt a chill run down his spine.

What?! The strongest beings in this world can break mountains with a single blow?!

Then she set her sights on the mysterious power, which of course was seen through by Lister.

“I can teach you, but this is a transaction, and you need to offer an equal amount of leverage.”

"Don't even think about stealing my skills in the towns under my jurisdiction. You can't learn them without guidance, and devouring them won't work either."

"Also, cannibalism is forbidden in my territory."

"Otherwise, it won't just be a matter of not being able to get the Blue Spider Lily."

When those sky-blue eyes looked directly at him, Muzan felt a chill run down his spine.

This warning is no joke...

Muzan remained silent.

She found that she could not ignore the warning.

Both Liszt's personal abilities and his status as a manager made her very wary.

Even getting anything in this other world depends on Lister's whims...

Cheer up!

The other world is another world; once she finds the location of the Blue Spider Lily, she doesn't need to come back.

That's right! Enduring it is only temporary! She doesn't need to risk living in this world at all!

Yes! All grievances are temporary!

Just bear with it. There's nothing shameful about temporarily submitting to the stronger party. What's wrong with getting what you want?

Although Lister couldn't discern anything from Muzan's pale face, he could guess the gist of it because he understood Muzan's thought process.

You must understand that surrender either happens zero times or countless times.

Soon, Lister led Muzan on a tour of the castle.

Muzan looked somewhat disgusted; this place was far inferior to her Infinity Castle.

"Someone as strong as you lives here?"

Lister just smiled calmly. Life here was certainly not as good as the base that Muzan had managed for thousands of years, nor as convenient as modern life, but it was still quite interesting.

"It will become the most prosperous place in the world in the future."

The light in those eyes made Wu Can feel somewhat annoyed.

She hates change.

Because most changes tend to go in a bad direction, she prefers to always be in a perfect state.

However, since Lister had a need to decorate the castle, it meant that she could profit from it.

"How about this, I can send my men to help you renovate the castle."

"I guarantee it will be better than it is now!"

Hmm? So you're already actively looking for ways to help him?

That's a really fast change of mind.

"No, I will personally renovate this place later, with my current methods..."

Before Liszt could finish speaking, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

Muzan Kibutsuji bumped into that figure. Veins bulged around her temples as she instinctively looked to see which fool dared to block her way.

A simple long robe, an aged face, and white, spiky hair...

???

One-hundredth of a second after turning his head, Muzan vanished from the spot.

Ok?

Madara Uchiha, who had just arrived, glanced at it casually and then dismissed it from his mind.

"Mr. Ban, lunch today is quite sumptuous, would you like to join us?"

"Lister, I need to bring two people with me. Do you have permission?"

Ugh?

Lister's eyes widened suddenly.

Is Madara bringing people over?

Who is it? Could it be Black Zetsu? If it really is Black Zetsu, I'll kill him with one strike!

"They're two brats. I'm going to take them on as my apprentices."

？ ！！

What did he hear?

Chapter 41 An Even Stronger Determination

Lister doubted his own ears.

In the original work, Obito was probably the only person who had a real master-disciple relationship with Madara. Given Madara's distrust of everyone, would he really accept a disciple?

Or was it influenced by him?

Lister quickly received the answer.

Ban was seen carrying an orange-haired boy in one hand and a blue-haired girl in the other.

Both children were dressed in dirty clothes, as if they had been rolling in mud.

"Yahiko and Konan?"

Lister suddenly recalled the video he had shown Madara more than half a month ago about the fates of Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

Ban casually tossed the two children aside.

"The Second Shinobi World War broke out while I was away from the shinobi world."

"To implement the Holy Land Plan, we need a spokesperson."

"Although Yahiko doesn't have the talent for ninjas, he is very suitable to be a leader."

"His current idea is to suppress the war by force, and with my training, he will gather a force."

Lister frowned slightly as he looked at the unconscious child, Yahiko.

"The most crucial element of the Holy Land Project is power, and Nagato..."

"I will come to pick him up after he has lost his parents and understands the pain of war."

This……

Looking at Ban in front of him, Lister once again realized the darkness and cruelty in the other's heart.
