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

Ban suddenly realized what was going on.

If Lister had told the two of them about the terror of his status as a ninja demon, why were they so close to him, and even dared to ask for his help?

What exactly did that kid teach them in these three days?

"Ah!"

Inside the duel space, Lister suddenly sneezed, and Muzan in front of him immediately stopped moving.

"Only humans get sick."

Lister rubbed his nose and denied it.

"It's not that I'm sick, it's probably just that someone is talking about me."

"Haven't you heard that the more powerful someone is, the more effective their words are when they speak about others?"

"...Continue, or do you feel you have complete control over your body?"

Covered in dark red blood, revealing his curvaceous figure, Muzan raised his hand, and bright red blood condensed in his palm.

An energy called Blood Qi amplified each of her attacks, and Lister could only respond using his still-incomplete breathing technique.

So he has been "killed" many times.

But the effect is very good; his fighting ability is now amazing just based on muscle strength alone.

During his brief rest, Liszt couldn't help but wonder about the situation of Yahiko and Konan.

To help them adapt to Ban's teaching pace, he has been practicing like crazy these past two days.

It was thanks to Muzan being an excellent doctor that Yahiko and Konan were able to wake up after fainting repeatedly.

Hope everything goes well.

If they could lure out Black Zetsu, they might be able to prevent it in advance.

But how can he convince Madara that Black Zetsu only wants to trick him?

Madara wouldn't believe him now.

Chapter 50 The Ideal Acknowledged by Madara

While Lister was training, Ban got his own grilled sea bass.

Xiao Nan brushed on the pre-prepared sauce and sprinkled on some chopped green onions. The rich aroma immediately whetted the appetites of the three.

I haven't had grilled fish in ages.

Ban took a small bite; the fresh and juicy fish was a little hot, but it was no problem for him at all.

My stomach came back to life.

The two clearest memories he had of enjoying a meal were: one was nearly a month ago when he was invited by Lister to a victory banquet at Red Maple Forest, and the other was right now.

Although he himself didn't have any particular requirements for food, there was indeed a big difference between eating warm food and not eating at all and relying solely on the Outer Path Golem for nutrition.

After just a few days without food, he actually started to crave delicious food again.

Is he getting old? Then why didn't he eat anything for years before arriving in this other world, nor did he reminisce about the delicious food he had eaten?

"Teacher Ban, is it delicious?"

Xiao Nan blinked, waiting for an answer.

"...a familiar taste."

Ban took another bite.

Even if he didn't say it, Xiao Nan already knew the answer.

For Ms. Ban, who has social anxiety, to say that, she must have acknowledged the skill she had just displayed.

Fortunately, she had consulted with Nadia.

Ban formed a hand seal, and three wooden stakes grew out of the ground. Then he sat on them.

What have you learned in these three days?

Yahiko and Konan looked at each other, and finally decided that Yahiko should answer.

"Physical training, chakra control, and discussions on how to bring peace to the ninja world."

Ban stopped talking.

"What did he say?"

"Hmm... Teacher Lister said that achieving peace in the ninja world is not something one person can do alone; it requires the combined efforts of many people with shared strength to have any hope of success."

Yahiko looked at Madara very seriously, listening attentively and asking questions about the subject.

“Professor Liszt said that mutual understanding between people is possible, but if people have different positions and interests, even if they understand each other, they may still have irreconcilable conflicts.”

"Therefore, if we want to build an organization, the primary goal is to unify our thinking, unify our stance, determine the organization's bottom line, determine the organization's program, and get everyone to work in the same direction."

"In addition to this, military power is also needed. Only by possessing strong military force can we conquer groups with different ideas and then expand our influence step by step by assimilating their thoughts."

"Once force has overwhelmed all opposition, the interests must be redistributed from the top down, a new chain of interests that is conducive to maintaining peace must be established, and an order that is beneficial to everyone must be formed."

"There is the guarantee of force, the unity of thought among the group, and the maintenance of order through shared interests."

"If peace is maintained for three generations and deeply ingrained in people's minds and bodies, then the future will be one of lasting peace."

Yahiko's voice was firm and strong, but then he sighed.

"But Professor List said that these rough theories alone are not enough, and it is important to develop new theories based on the conditions of the Land of Rain."

"Adapting to local conditions and simply applying theories in a crude manner will only lead to problems."

What the hell!

Black Zetsu, who was eavesdropping, almost blurted it out.

This guy named Lister is definitely the biggest threat!

He had seen so many famous figures, and 99.9% of them were incompetent; none could compare to this Liszt.

No, it should be said that those daimyo were very skilled at manipulating their subordinates and using their positions for personal gain, but none of them thought about stopping the war.

This guy who suddenly appeared with unique insights and highly feasible theories could really influence Madara!

Oh no! This is a huge crisis!

"Humph!"

Ban snorted coldly without commenting, but Konan, who saw Ban's reaction, became anxious.

"Mr. Ban, Mr. Lister is really concerned about this matter!"

"He didn't have to do that; he just wanted to repay you!"

repay?

Yahiko realized what was happening and quickly added.

"Yes! Xiao Nan and I both heard it! When Professor Lister and Sister Cortini were discussing the Red Maple Territory, they would suddenly ask how they could help Professor Ban!"

Ban frowned.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that the two children were not lying; he was not likely to be mistaken in this regard.

Why would Liszt do that? Or was he just putting on a show to gain his favor?

"Teacher Ban."

Xiao Nan took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm.

"I once asked Professor Lister why he cared so much about the ninja world, since everything here had nothing to do with him and he had no reason to care. And this is what he told me."

"If it weren't for you, Professor Ban, saving Professor Lister during that crisis, Professor Lister would certainly have died, and all those he cared about would have fallen in pools of blood. Afterwards, his family would have suffered heavy losses due to the war between the duchies..."

"Most importantly! If he had died in that battle, his ideals would never have been realized!"

ideal!

"Mr. Ban, I really dislike the United States' overly complicated rules and regulations, and I also hate its stagnant atmosphere."

'Therefore, I relinquished my inheritance of my father's title and came to the frontier to develop new territories.'

I want to build the ideal world of my dreams.

The scene of his journey to White Moon City flashed through Ban's mind.

Lister first pointed in the direction of White Moon City, and then in the direction of Red Maple Territory.

The light in his eyes reminded him of the way he and Hashirama looked when they were young.

'Mr. Ban, sooner or later, a magnificent nation will be built in that direction.'

There aren't laws there so harsh as to divide everything based on birth.

There, they were not oppressed by all classes, but rather placed their hopes in the afterlife as indentured citizens.

There was no lofty holy land there, nor a king who never came to earth to understand the lives of ordinary people.

What do you think of that country? How does it compare to your Land of Fire?

'Is my vision too narrow? Hahaha! Indeed, I don't have Mr. Ban's domineering presence, treating the whole world as your stage.'

However, I am also determined to dedicate my life to building my ideals.

Because I seize every minute!

!!!

"Teacher Ban?"

Yahiko and Konan both stared at Madara Uchiha, who seemed to be in a daze.

His full head of white hair hung down, obscuring his face.

There was no reaction; Ban simply finished eating the grilled fish and then sat down silently.

Yahiko and Konan looked at each other with worried expressions.

Did they say something wrong?
