Chapter 124: Civilization without humans is meaningless
The cyberpunk flower scraped across Touichiro's body, and the next moment, his body disappeared between heaven and earth without leaving even a speck of dust.
just
Also at this moment
It was as if something had emerged from Touichiro's mind.
It was none other than Uchiha Madara's Shadow of the Chakravartin and the Prison.
The flower of cyberpunk, which has always been invincible, seems to have no way to deal with it.
However, this Tomb·Border Prison Shadow did not seem to be able to exist for long. If someone could see it, they would find that it was already flickering and could disappear at any time. Finally, it glanced at Li Zhongren on the giant tree.
Then, it was as if the whole world stopped.
The ships in the distance are no longer moving.
The expressions of surprise, sadness, self-blame, etc. on the faces of Goju Yagura and Mizunoe Bing also froze there.
Even the cyberpunk flower that could corrode everything stopped blooming.
In the whole world, there are only two people who can move.
One is the Shadow of the Rinnegan who went from being invisible to becoming the appearance of Uchiha Madara.
One of them is Li Zhongren, who set his sights on Uchiha Madara.
"Greetings. Uchiha Madara-senpai."
Li Zhongren jumped lightly and jumped down from the giant tree, directly landing on the back of the Three-Tails. He could feel that this was not the real world, but most likely a space similar to Tsukuyomi, which was not difficult to achieve for Uchiha Madara.
"It seems that my guess was correct. Last time, you released Izuna's chakra fluctuations at that moment on purpose."
Uchiha Madara looked at Li Zhongren quietly.
"However, you are not Izuna. You were just born from his chakra traces."
"You were born from Indra's chakra, but can you say that you are Indra?"
"Too."
The Uchiha nodded.
"In the Land of Rain, you used a codeword that only I and I could understand to pass messages to me, telling me to be careful of Black Zetsu. It seems that you must know a lot of things. You want to make a deal with me, right? Tell me, as long as the conditions are reasonable, I will agree."
"Eh? Aren't you curious about why I know all this?"
"It's nothing more than an ability to predict the future. It's not uncommon in the ninja world. The toad on Myoboku Mountain could predict the future. So why is it so hard to accept that my brother can predict the future?"
"Uh, okay."
Uchiha Madara's arrogance is in line with his character, but it also saves Li Zhongren a lot of trouble. He plans to find a chance to spoil the secret to Uchiha Madara, but he will not reveal his identity as a time traveler. In fact, he originally planned to keep it a secret and let Uchiha Madara guess it himself.
"So, where do I begin?"
Li Zhongren sat on the ground, and Uchiha Madara sat opposite him.
"Let's start from the time you faked your death and escaped after your battle with Hashirama-sama."
Afterwards, Li Zhongren roughly recounted the plot that originally belonged to this world to Uchiha Madara, including his awakening of the Samsara Eye, mistaking the Black Zetsu hidden in the White Zetsu's body for an extension of his own will, his being deceived by the Black Zetsu, mistaking the Moon Eye Project for a plan that would bring peace to the world, and his final ambush by the Black Zetsu, turning him into the Mother of God, the reincarnation of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
However, Uchiha Madara did not seem to have any emotional fluctuations during the whole process, he just sat there and listened quietly.
"Finally, Princess Kaguya, along with the extension of her will, was sealed once again, and this event that spanned thousands of years came to an end."
"I see."
After a long time, Uchiha Madara nodded.
"No wonder, I always felt that Black Zetsu was more anxious than me, so this is why."
"No wonder you can always take the lead. After all, the future of the entire ninja world is in your mind, including my meeting with you here today. I think you also know what I did to Touichiro."
"This is just a guess, but I'm not sure. In the original history, such a strong man died silently. Then, the only reasonable explanation is what you did to him. Especially afterwards, the agent you chose was able to run rampant in Kirigakure. This is not something that can be solved by a Mangekyō Sharingan."
"So, are you telling me this to get me to stop the Moon Eye Project?"
"Well, I don't think this plan makes sense."
"First, it will become a prerequisite for resurrecting Princess Kaguya. In the end, all people will slowly transform into White Zetsu and die in what they think is a beautiful dream. In other words, the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi is actually a kind of ninjutsu designed by the Otsutsuki clan, an interstellar civilization that can roam the universe. Its purpose is to immerse people in illusions so that the sacred tree can devour them bit by bit."
"Secondly, even if nothing happened later and everyone was immersed in a beautiful dream, it actually indirectly shows that human civilization has come to an end and will inevitably go to extinction in the end, turning into a pile of chakra bodies? Or chakra traces?"
"In fact, I have always firmly believed in one thing, no matter what the human world is like, a world without humans has no value in existence because it is meaningless."
Uchiha Madara is silent
The whole space became silent.
After a long time, he spoke.
"Before, I didn't quite understand it, but now, combined with the information collected by Black Zetsu, you should want to make the world peaceful in some way you want, right? For example, the Sand Village incident, there is no such thing as He Huo Bei Dao in the original history, so it must be you. There is no you in Konoha, and the same is true for the Mist Village. You have unknowingly influenced three of the five major countries. Also, the projection you made in various cities seems to be brewing something."
"I have this idea. Although the original purpose was for some reasons of my own, this reason perfectly overlaps with peace. My idea is not complicated. It is to let the five major countries establish exchanges while restricting the ninjas who can start wars. The only one who can do such a thing is the Kage."
"Tighten the reins while offering benefits."
"At least for a considerable period of time, war should be avoided."
"It's quite a long time. So, you admit that even if your plan succeeds, peace will not last forever, right?"
"Madara-senpai, I have to correct you on one thing."
"what?"
"That is, in this world, the only thing that does not change is change itself. Never think about doing it once and for all. What we can do is to do our best while we are alive, and then record our experience in a book. Finally, we should trust future generations. Even if most of them will lament our mistakes and not learn from them, as long as a few people absorb our experience, they will definitely be able to do better on the basis of the original experience!"
"The only constant is change itself." "Interesting theory"
"But...I will not stop the Moon Eye plan. I will make everything you have foreseen happen."
"Why."
"you guess?"
"."
"In short, kid, remember this."
Uchiha Madara slowly stood up and looked down at Li Zhongren.
"This is the last time we will meet peacefully. When we meet again in the future, it will be a matter of life and death. I will not show mercy to you just because you have Izuna's chakra fluctuations. If you want to build the world you imagine, you have to defeat me first."
"Wow~~"
Uchiha Madara's figure disappeared.
"Toichiro-sama!!!"
Everything seemed to be flowing again. The screams of Karutagi Yagura resounded throughout the sea, and he was forcibly pulled by Mizunoe Bing towards the direction of the warship in the distance.
It was because the gorgeous and strange flower was so big that it almost flattened a large area of the sea.
What's more terrifying is that when you see this flower, you will be attracted to it and want to get closer.
"Stop, don't go!!"
On the other side, Mizunotsuki Hibiki saw clearly that the densely packed ninjas on the ten warships surrounding Kotori Mitsuha seemed to have lost themselves and jumped off the ships one after another, with confusion in their eyes or inexplicable emotions as they walked towards the huge flower.
Of course, most of these are Chunin or Genin, and Jonin is able to resist temptation.
However, the problem lies here. In a sense, Genin is the backbone of the Ninja World War. After all, to perform joint ninjutsu, you need the cooperation of many Genin. Without these Genin, only the Kage can release the same powerful Ninjutsu. Then what? If they have one more Kage than you, there is no need to fight this war.
Unfortunately, facing such a large crowd, even the Jōnin of Kirigakure had no good solution. Using ninjutsu to attack them? That would be no different from killing them.
Besides, the ninja's running speed is there.
Soon, they began to approach the flower, which was still blooming and swaying.
"Wood Release·Cyberpunk·Sacrifice"
Li Zhongren felt the new ninjutsu in his mind, whose power and ability were improving as his Wood Release bloodline was enhanced.
In short, compared with the previous Wood Release Cyberpunk, the latter's existence time is greatly increased. During this period, it will continue to radiate cyber waves outward. These waves will charm and affect everyone who sees it, making them rush into the flame.
"A perfect weapon of war!"
Of course, the cost of activating it is also very high. When constructing this flower, you need to sacrifice enough souls and emotions.
Naturally, the nearly 2,000 Kirigakure ninjas who died just now were the best sacrifice.
“Puff, puff, puff, puff~~”
However, just as these Genin were about to approach the Cyberpunk Flower, countless roots penetrated the flower, binding them one by one and petrifying them.
"Three days later, bring Shujiten and Shimura Kuma to the East Sea Port of Whirlpool Country and come to negotiate with me. Well, there's no need for money, as you guys in Kirigakure are not rich."
Li Zhongren patted the box under his feet. At the moment of the explosion, he received it in the red envelope space and released it later. The reason why those guys from Kirigakure chose this box was with the same intention. First, let you see it to prove that they brought enough money, and then when the explosion happened, the box would be blown away directly. Finally, the Kirigakure ninjas could rely on Kirigakure's special ninjutsu to dive deep into the seabed to salvage the box.
"How is it, is everything okay, Marshal Yagura who attacked our Konoha first?"
Li Zhongren's gaze and voice pierced through the distant sea and shouted to Goji Yagura in the distance.
"we agree!"
Karuju Yagura didn't say anything, but Mizunoe Bing beside him quickly nodded.
The other party did not continue to kill those charmed Genin, which made him a little confused about the reason. Given Mitsuha Takanashi's ability, there must be a big trap here.
However, no matter what, even if he knew it was a big trap, he had to jump in, take back those Chunins and Genins, let Yagura take control of this army, and with his identity as marshal, the son-in-law of the Daimyo of the Land of Water, and the support of his own Mizunotsuki clan, there would be no problem for him to become the next Kirigakure.
Only in this way can Kirigakure avoid internal disputes and turmoil after the death of the previous Kage.
This time, they admitted that they were killed by the strange ability of Mitsuha Takanashi.
Whether it's the strange sealing technique or the strange flower.
In this case, if the other party is willing to negotiate, it is best to accept it. Otherwise, if you really go back to Kirigakure to recruit people and fight this person to the death, maybe Kirigakure can rely on its financial resources to kill Mitsuha Kotori. Then what?
The other side is just a ninja family.
At that time, Konoha, Kumogakure above them, and even several countries further away might be ready to make a move.
"Hey"
Finally, Mizunoe Bing sighed.
"Calm down, Yagura. What we need to do now is to shrink our fists and heal our wounds. We can talk about other things later."
"Um"
Karuji Yagura has also come out of his grief, quietly looking at the bird Mitsuha in the distance, without saying a word, because he knows that before he can do it, anything he says will be a joke.
"After this time, I guess his nickname will have to be changed again."
Mizunoe Bing patted her good friend on the back.
"In a sense, does this count as one person ruling a country?"
One more, one more
