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

At this moment, Liszt was already mentally preparing his speech.

Knowing the plot, he naturally knew that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was just a plan by Black Zetsu to deceive Madara and revive Kaguya.

He absolutely did not want to see Madara become a sacrifice for Kaguya's resurrection like in the original story, so he had to stop it.

But knowing how to stop it requires skill.

As is well known, once the Uchiha awakens the Mangekyou Sharingan, their personality tends to go to extremes. Once they discover something is wrong, their first suspicion is not about themselves but about the world.

If he were to bluntly say that placing his hopes on the Infinite Tsukuyomi was a mistake, he was unsure whether Madara would listen to him. What he was certain of was that Madara would definitely develop a sense of disgust towards him.

After all, Madara had placed all his hopes on the Infinite Tsukuyomi. How could he possibly accept being suddenly told that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was useless and that he would be working for others for nothing for the rest of his life?

Therefore, it is essential to persuade the other party in a way that they can accept.

therefore……

"Mr. Madara, the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan has a major flaw: the person who leads the Infinite Tsukuyomi must be you."

Ban frowned slightly, immediately understanding Liszt's meaning.

"You mean there are still people in the ninja world who can hinder me, or even orchestrate the Infinite Tsukuyomi?!"

"who is it?!"

A terrifying red light erupted from Madara's eyes, and boundless killing intent surged forth.

As expected... even with all his efforts, Madara's obsession with Infinite Tsukuyomi did not diminish in the slightest.

It's not appropriate to directly state the reason, as that could easily provoke the other party.

Lister carefully considered his words. He knew that with someone like Ban, one should go along with what he said and not go against his wishes.

"Mr. Madara, you already know the story of the origin of chakra through the stone tablet, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ban frowned.

How could he not remember? It was because he saw records from ancient times that Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had gained immense power, and the Sage of Six Paths, had failed to stop the war, that he fell into despair.

He only found his only hope after obtaining the Rinnegan—the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Despite not knowing who created the Infinite Tsukuyomi or whether anyone had used it before, Madara still believed that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was the most promising method to achieve peace.

Although Madara had a slight doubt about the Infinite Tsukuyomi because of Aizen's words, he still decided to try it out first.

Now, after hearing Liszt's suggestion, Ban realized a possibility.

"You mean the one who orchestrates the Infinite Tsukuyomi isn't me, but rather Kaguya Otsutsuki or the Sage of Six Paths?"

Impossible! How could these two dead people...?

At that moment, Ban saw the resolute look in Lister's eyes.

Could it be that his original future failed because he wasn't the one controlling the Infinite Tsukuyomi?!

"That's right. In fact, the only person who can control Infinite Tsukuyomi is Kaguya Otsutsuki, who ate the Chakra Fruit."

Madara clenched his fist, and he immediately began to think about how to defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki and gain control of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Even now, he has not given up the idea of ​​using illusions to control the world and bring eternal peace.

“Mr. Ban, you are not in a hurry. You are no longer just a person.”

"You have more time now thanks to the life-extending potion sponsored by Mr. Yuri."

"You also have two disciples, Yahiko and Konan, who will also contribute to the peace of the ninja world."

"At the same time, you also have this Red Maple Territory that you personally saved!"

Lister clenched his fist and punched it into his chest, his determined gaze drawing Ban's attention.

Is he no longer alone?

"Mr. Ban."

Lister stretched out his hand, slowly opening his clenched fist.

"Although I can't offer direct help, I will try my best to teach Yahiko and Minami well, and think more about how to help you achieve the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, while also looking for other possibilities."

"Mr. Ban, please have faith in the people who yearn for peace once more."

As he gazed at the outstretched hand, a figure appeared before Ban's eyes.

The same person from before reached out to him in the same way.

No! They are different!

Lister is far more cunning than Hashirama, and not only is he capable, he is also ambitious, making him a very suitable partner.

Ban raised his hand, hesitated, stretched it forward, and then pulled it back.

No! Human hearts are no longer trustworthy. Desires can never be satisfied. Even Lister would covet things from the ninja world.

But... Lister has never hidden this fact, and indeed, it cannot affect his world. The only people connected to him, Yahiko and Konan, are also under his control.

The initiative is in his hands; he can control it.

The hand that had been pulled back stretched forward a little more.

No! How could his ideals be entrusted to someone else?!

……

In just three seconds, Lister saw Ban reach out his hand several times, his expression incredibly complex.

So Liszt took a deep breath.

"Mr. Ban, let me say one last thing."

"At least you must believe—"

"Ideals will not let down anyone who dedicates their life to them."

Ban's body trembled, his outstretched right hand instinctively clenched, while his left hand covered his face, and he took a deep breath.

Sensing the overwhelming force, Madara closed his eyes.

I never expected that he would need a word of encouragement so much.

The next moment, memories flooded back like a tide.

Since breaking with Hashirama, he has been alone for too long, and realizing his ideals has long become an obsession and the reason for continuing to live.

However, his ideal was far from being realized, and the hardest time was the period of waiting underground for the Rinnegan to be awakened.

Even though his will was as hard as iron and had never wavered in the slightest, he still felt a desire to express his emotions after hearing such a sentence.

Won't we let down anyone who has dedicated their life to this cause...?

Unfortunately, reality is never like that.

The next second, Ban lowered his left hand and grasped Lister's right hand with his right hand.

At that moment, their eyes met.

"Tell me what to do next."

Lister felt his right hand being gripped tightly and nodded emphatically.

"Alright, let's analyze the situation in the ninja world now..."

Just then, there was a knock on the villa door.

Yuri's voice came in.

“Mr. Lister, Mr. Ban, I am very interested in your conversation. May I listen in?”

Lister looked at Ban, who only thought for a moment before raising his left hand and waving it.

The door opened automatically.

Yuri, dressed in military uniform, walked in, followed by Aizen, Yahiko, Konan, Muzan, and Merfu.

so many people?!

The next second, Muzan and Melphide stood behind Lister, while Aizen and Yuri sat down to the side. Yahiko and Konan hesitated for a moment before standing next to Madara, and the living room was suddenly packed with people.

Ban's expression shifted between light and dark, and after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Aizen is probably here for the fun of it. It's definitely necessary to know about Yahiko and Konan, but let's just pretend we don't see the others.

Lister became nervous.

He was just about to deliver his long-considered speech when Aizen and Yuri arrived.

Aizen is adept at scheming, but Yuri is even more so, a master at manipulating two major forces. Discussing plans in front of these two always feels like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu.

Perhaps it's more accurate to say it felt like I was being interviewed.

Relax, relax. You're the kind of man who wants to establish the Multiverse Round Table Council and become its chairman. How can you achieve this goal if you back down here?

If you speak well enough, this is also a chance to showcase your abilities!

Yes! You need to demonstrate your abilities!

Lister calmed down, waved his left hand, and a rough map of the ninja world appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Mr. Madara, I will now analyze the current situation in the ninja world, and you will decide how to proceed."

Liszt began to recall his original draft.

Since Dong Zhuo, heroes have risen up one after another...

Pshaw! You've got it wrong!

"Since the establishment of Konoha, the system of one village per country has been implemented in the five great nations, and the ninja world has entered a new era... I will analyze the reasons for the frequent wars and the feasibility of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan and the Ninja World Holy Land plan."

"Please listen..."

Chapter 67 The Ninja World Version of the Longzhong Dialogue (Part 1)

"The first thing to analyze is the current political situation in the ninja world."

"The five largest countries in the ninja world are collectively known as the Five Great Nations. They are far stronger than other countries in terms of economy and military strength. Every move of the Five Great Nations will affect the entire ninja world, so studying the Five Great Nations can help analyze the situation."

"All five great nations have a policy of one village per country. The daimyo of the country controls the politics and economy, while the five kage of the ninja village control the military."
