Seeing that Uchiha Madara had no intention of leaving for the time being, I thought about it and simply asked him: "What do you think about killing all the Five Kage and then suppressing all opponents in the world with absolute force? This will definitely change the world, right?"

Uchiha Madara tilted his head: "I know someone who has similar ideas to yours."

"Really? Who is it?"

"You don't know him yet."

"Will I meet him in the future? Will his last name also be Uchiha?"

"That's not it."

Seeing that Uchiha Madara didn't want to say anything, I didn't bother to ask him, "But you don't seem to agree with this path?"

“Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.”

I nodded thoughtfully, "What if we kill all the Daimyo of the Five Great Nations? If we want to change the world and the ninja system, should there still be a place for them in the new world?"

"Do you want to give it a try? If you want to try it out, then let's go kill him."

"Are they easy to kill?"

"Take the Daimyo of the Land of Fire as an example. The strongest people around him are only twelve guardian ninjas... but they are no match for you and me. Killing him is a piece of cake."

"If you can really kill them at will, then why didn't you do anything to them? It's much easier to control the Daimyo of the Water Country than to control the Mizukage, and the influence is stronger."

"That's not the case. The rules of the world of nobles and the world of ninjas are different. I am familiar with the world of ninjas, so I can pretend to be a Mizukage, but the words and deeds of nobles are complicated and the etiquette is complicated. If there is something wrong, it will be discovered, which is very troublesome. If you control the Mizukage and reveal any clues, other ninja villages will not bother to care, but if you control the daimyo and reveal any clues, the daimyo of other countries will definitely order their own ninja villages to take action, which is really not worth the loss."

"That is, you have no manners, so you can't pretend to be a big shot."

"It doesn't matter." Uchiha Madara shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, most of the daimyo became daimyo just because they were born with good luck. The reason why I didn't touch them is because they can't cause any obstacles to me if they are alive. But if you want them to die, then just kill them."

I felt that Uchiha Madara was serious - he really thought that it didn't matter if the daimyos of the five major countries all died.

I did wonder what would happen if the daimyo disappeared, and wanted to see whether it would change the world for good or bad, but part of the reason was also that I wanted to test Uchiha Madara's bottom line.

Now it seems that his bottom line is still being lowered further.

I was silent for a moment: "The world will fall into chaos."

“To change the way we have always lived, there will of course be pains of adaptation.”

"Labor pains..."

For Uchiha Sasuke, the resistance of Lord Shikamaru and Orochimaru might just be a period of pain that he must go through before he can move towards a new world.

But how many people will struggle and die in pain when the word "labor pain" is simply used as an understatement?

I decided to read more books after I got back. When you don't know what to do, reading is definitely a good idea.

I stopped discussing ways to change the world with Uchiha Madara and asked, "How can I contact you?"

Before he could speak, I added, "You are the only one who can come to me every time. If I want to find you, how can I find you?"

Uchiha Madara took out a kunai with a line of inscriptions engraved on it. I couldn’t make out what the words were. Maybe they were not words, but a talisman.

"When you want to find me, input chakra into the kunai. There are coordinates I left on it. As long as you activate it with chakra, I can feel it."

Uchiha Madara's eye technique is related to the different space. He has done in-depth research on parallel worlds and is obviously very good at space-time ninjutsu.

In this case, it is not surprising that such means exist.

I took the kunai from him, wondering to what extent he could do it with his ability: "No matter when or where? No matter how far apart we are?"

"No matter where or when, no matter how far apart we are, as long as you call me, I will come immediately."

Given his personality, I thought he would say this with a smile as if it were a joke, but he said it very seriously, as if it were a promise.

Being cautious actually makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

"It feels a bit like the Flying Thunder God Technique of the Fourth Hokage." I didn't know how to respond to his sudden serious tone, and wanted to change the subject, "I saw it in Kakashi's memory... The gift he gave Kakashi for promotion to Jonin was the Flying Thunder God Kunai."

“…He did give me some inspiration.”

"But you don't know the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Why should I know it?" Uchiha Madara lowered his eyes, "So what if the Fourth Hokage knows it? The Flying Thunder God Technique is as fast as lightning, and he can't arrive in time every time, nor can he save his important people every time. I have another way - a better way."

"What if I summon you and you, like him, fail to catch up?"

"That will never happen."

"why?"

"Because I've been watching you."

"You mean, you've actually been hiding near me the whole time, so you'll appear as soon as I call you?"

“…You can understand it that way.”

"abnormal."

"..."

"Are you a pervert?"

"I knew you would say that..."

"Why are you mumbling so unconvinced? You are a pervert!"

"I can't help it!! The world of ninja is very dangerous!! Although you are very powerful, if something unexpected happens, I will worry about you and can't sleep or eat every day. I have to keep an eye on you!!"

"Even if you use this joking tone, you can't hide the extent of your perversion!"

"If you really don't like it, I can leave! Don't hate me!"

I looked at him suspiciously: "Really? Are you really going to leave?"

"Really. It just so happens that I have other things to do during this period. I'm not the kind of guy who has nothing to do every day but stare at little girls!"

"Really? But you do seem to be very free every day."

"...That's too much!!! After all, I am also... Uchiha Madara!"

"The reputation of Uchiha Madara has long been shattered into pieces by your repeated perversions."

“Ah…” Uchiha Madara bent down and covered his heart, as if he was hurt by my words, but he still gave me a thumbs up mischievously: “It’s okay, Chaolu, the cold face and complaining are also very cute!”

I looked at him, crossed my arms, and didn't want to pay any attention to him. But then I suddenly remembered that if he was targeting the Hidden Mist Village to avenge Lin, then he was staring at me because he was afraid that I would die accidentally like Lin before he could catch up?

…But am I thinking too highly of him?

Maybe he's just a pervert who wants to spy on me.

I asked, “What are you going to do?”

"The Tailed Beast." Uchiha Madara returned to his usual relaxed and cheerful attitude, "Thanks to you, Akatsuki lost Sasori. I was thinking of retrieving his ring... but you chased him away in advance... I'm really hurt!"

"..."

"Damn it, why don't you respond? You're so cold to me, Chaolu!"

"Do you want me to help you get the ring back?"

"I don't want to trouble you. Never mind. I'll just carve another one myself."

"…Is the symbol of a formal Akatsuki member so casual?"

He smiled and said, "I am Uchiha Madara. Who dares to say that the ring I wear is fake?"

This is true.

In the face of absolute strength, the symbol of Akatsuki is nothing more than an ordinary ring.

"Wait...are you going to join Akatsuki as Uchiha Madara?"

"That won't happen. I don't want to draw too much attention so quickly. Even though you've revealed my existence... I have to hurry up and move forward with my plan."

"You want to use an alias? But as long as you're still wearing this mask, you'll be exposed immediately if you meet people from Sunagakure, Kirigakure, or Konoha."

"Then let's catch all the tailed beasts before Sunagakure, Kirigakure and Konoha join forces." Uchiha Madara said with a smile, "Even though you are allies now, the Sunagakure Village is in a period of transition and can no longer afford casualties. The Daimyo's financial support is insufficient, and even if that Kazekage girl wants to send troops, she is unable to do so. Kirigakure is in a critical period of internal reform now. Can they really put aside the domestic situation and come to take care of me? As for Konoha... they have a lot of good players and no financial problems, but they are not of one mind internally. Tsunade should hold down Danzo first."

"…The Six-Tails Jinchuriki is from the Hidden Mist Village."

"I'm sorry, Chaolu, that was a necessary sacrifice. But he was ranked later, so he can live a little longer." Uchiha Madara said: "And the One-Tail Jinchuriki was extracted from the tailed beast and he was able to survive... Did you distort his fate? Your eye technique can actually do this..."

He whispered, "What did you go through when you opened your eyes? What made you so desperate? Sasori and Deidara had seen you in the Land of Waves. I've confirmed that you didn't have the Mangekyō Sharingan at that time... You should have opened your eyes during the Chunin Exam... That is, when you defected from Konoha. But you don't seem to have much hatred for Konoha, and leaving Konoha wouldn't have caused you so much pain... So, is it because of Kakashi? Because he wanted to kill you?"

"It has nothing to do with Kakashi."

But I couldn't explain it clearly. Uchiha Madara didn't say anything. I don't know if he believed it or not.

Suddenly he said, "Your companion is here to see you."

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared across the ground like a ghost, just as he had appeared.

I suspected that he didn't want to continue discussing the matter of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki with me, because he must have guessed that neither of us could convince the other.

He seemed reluctant to have a conflict with me and would always find an excuse to escape before it became unavoidable.

…Does he want me to feel like I’m special to him?

Did he do this on purpose to make me lose my vigilance and guard against him?

Could this be a conspiracy or a trap for me?

"Morning dew."

As I was thinking this, I heard Neji's voice from the door.

I turned to look at him: "Is Bai done with the discussion?"

"That's about it." Neji was a little helpless. "Konoha has the most people coming, and they can move the most things. There's nothing we can do."

"In the end, they actually gained the advantage by relying on their numbers."

I smiled, remembering what Uchiha Madara had just said, that the Sand Village was now in a period of transition. Although the situation in the Kirigakure was a little better, it did not have as much talent as Konoha - a large part of the current backbone of the Kirigakure was made up of people who were taken away from Konoha and the Sand Village.

Compared with Konoha, the other four ninja villages seem to have no numerical advantage.

When I approached Neji, he turned off his Byakugan and looked at my face in the candlelight: "Are you okay?"

"how?"

He reached out to take my candle, but I couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so I handed him the candlestick.

The candlelight flickered for a moment, and Neji put his arm around my shoulders and gently led me towards where he was, as if he was worried that I wouldn't be able to see clearly and bump into the door frame.

He said, "You don't look very happy."

I reached out and touched the door frame, and was silent for a while: "...I just suddenly felt that I don't know anything and I don't understand anything."

We walked side by side towards where we came from. Neji let go of my shoulders, but his candlestick was a little far away from me. I grabbed his sleeve and pulled him closer to me.

"How could that be?" Neji frowned and said, "There is no ninja better than you in the Hidden Mist Village. Even in Konoha, you are the best."

I smiled: "Don't think I don't know that when you were in Konoha, you were recognized by everyone as the number one genius among Genins."

"I'm just the number one genin, what's there to be proud of?"

As Neji spoke, the candlestick in his hand moved away from me again.

I glanced at him, somewhat puzzled as to why the usually attentive Neji would be like this.

Does he think that we all have pupil skills and therefore are not afraid of darkness?

I grabbed his sleeve again and asked him to move the candlestick closer to me. "I do have confidence in fighting. But I found that I only know how to fight, and that's not enough. The book says that to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If I only know how to kill people, the only way to solve the problem is to think about who to kill... But this is definitely not the best way to solve the problem. It's just that my vision is too narrow."

"So what else does Chaolu want to know?"

I thought about it, "I want to know how food is planted and harvested, how clothes are woven and sold, how companies can lead their employees to ensure their welfare while allowing the company to operate smoothly and make profits, why the country is like this, when the current system was determined, who determined it, and why it was determined this way..."

Neji smiled, "It sounds like Chaolu wants to know everything."

"We live in this world, bound by invisible rules. I really want to know what is causing us pain."

"That's good. I was worried...that you were sad about Sasuke."

"Sasuke?"

"I just got some new information from Konoha - I heard that Orochimaru can use a special ninjutsu that allows him to live indefinitely by taking over other people's bodies. He has his eyes on Sasuke's body, so he keeps Sasuke by his side. If Sasuke doesn't leave, he may take action against Sasuke soon."

...Orochimaru has done something like this!?

It's not in the scroll! I thought he just wanted to study the Sharingan!

But then again, it's obvious that he would fail in the end. He would never write about his embarrassing black history.

"Sasuke will be fine."

Neji raised an eyebrow, "You really have faith in him."

"That depends on the person." I sighed, and when the candlestick moved away again while he was talking, I was too lazy to correct him, so I simply pulled the fabric of his clothes at his elbow and let him lead me forward. "I have confidence in Orochimaru. But as for Uchiha Itachi... I don't know how Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi are doing now..."

Kotoamatsukami should still be in the cooling period, right? Moreover, Kotoamatsukami is essentially an illusion. As long as I know that Sasuke is under Kotoamatsukami, I should be able to help him remove it.

"From what I heard about your conversation with Sasuke, you want to recruit him to the Hidden Mist Village? Will you help him deal with Uchiha Itachi?"

"It would be great if he could come in the end." This is very complicated, and I can't explain it to Neji. "Let's not talk about Sasuke, but Neji, are you...doing so far away from me on purpose?"

"Ah. You found out?"

"Why?" I asked puzzledly, "Did I make you angry in any way?"

"It's not like that. It's just that Chaolu unconsciously came close to me and could only rely on me, which was so cute that I couldn't help but play a prank on her." Neji said, placing the candlestick in a neutral position between us. He looked down at me with a smile on his face, "Sorry for teasing you."
