"Yo, long time no see, Tsunade!"
"Mizukage-sama, is work going well lately?"
Lin Nan waved hello to the six of them.
The six who arrived were the Five Kage plus Naruto.
As they saw Lin Nan sitting cheerfully with Uchiha Madara, they were stunned.
"Little Lin..." Tsunade and Mei Terumi said in unison, but after exchanging glances, both women turned their heads away.
The remaining few looked at the two of them, somewhat bewildered.
Naruto looked at Tsunade, then at Mei Terumi, and his expression became strange for a moment.
He knew about the good relationship between Tsunade and Little Lin. What was the Mizukage's deal?
It seemed this Mr. Little Lin was quite a Casanova!
Uchiha Madara, meanwhile, treated the six of them as if they were invisible, as if contemplating Lin Nan's words. After a long while, he spoke, "Then if there was an opportunity, an opportunity that could achieve peace for all things, would you pursue it?"
"Do you think that's possible?" Lin Nan asked with a smile, without thinking.
"What if it is possible?" Uchiha Madara was serious.
Lin Nan looked at Uchiha Madara, he was somewhat aware of his history.
Uchiha Madara was fond of conquest and violence; but that didn't mean he was a man who would kill needlessly.
It just meant he preferred more direct methods to solve problems, his ideology was like that.
Everyone in the Uchiha clan was like that; they loved deeply and hated intensely, their thoughts easily turning extreme. Of course, Itachi Uchiha was an anomaly, and his hairstyle was also an anomaly within the Uchiha clan.
After finally letting go of the century-old grudge with the Senju clan, he and Hashirama Senju created Konoha, wanting to use the village ideology to resolve world conflicts. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
In fact, this ideology did fit the situation at the time.
The ninja world thus transitioned from the "Warring States," that is, individual clans, to the alliance of villages. Other places followed suit, and countless ninja villages were established.
However, Uchiha Madara still did not understand Hashirama's benevolent foreign policy.
After all, in his eyes, those from outside villages were no different from ants.
Would an elephant establish peaceful relations with ants?
Even setting him and Hashirama aside, weren't those ants still warring with each other, plundering resources?
Hashirama's methods were meaningless.
As the saying goes, those with different paths cannot plan together. Uchiha Madara knew that his clan had become more prosperous and harmonious after forming the village, so he rebelled from Konoha alone. After a battle at the Valley of the End, he vanished.
Hashirama also died not long after. The deaths of the two top-tier figures seemed to act as a fuse, triggering the First Great Ninja War, and the world once again fell into chaos.
It could be said that Uchiha Madara was born into a chaotic world, and he did not see true peace when he "died."
Did he like war?
The answer was no, otherwise he wouldn't have allied with the Senju clan, with whom they had a history of bloodshed.
But he saw no hope.
This plunged him into his own abyss.
Lin Nan understood what he meant, it was nothing more than the ultimate goal of this war: resurrecting the Ten-Tails, casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and then making everyone in the world sleep in an endless dream, thus achieving true peace.
In the final analysis, it was still about death.
Death is like a lamp going out. After death, do thoughts dissipate, or do they, like when we sleep, still dream? Who can know?
Lin Nan knew most of the plot, and for a moment, he didn't know how to explain it to Uchiha Madara.
Should he just tell him that Black Zetsu was not his will, but a manipulator behind the scenes, and everything he did was part of his scheme?
Uchiha Madara had already reached this point; even if he believed Lin Nan, he would still take the risk and try.
The path ahead was all darkness; which path to take?
Therefore, Uchiha Madara would only awaken in the end when Black Zetsu took his heart. In his dying moments, he would reconcile with Hashirama Senju and himself.
Such an extreme personality could not be reasoned with; it was like dealing with the arrogant Sasuke.
Trying to persuade him? Useless!
Seeing Lin Nan fall into deep thought and remain silent for a long time, Uchiha Madara did not urge him, just waited quietly.
The Five Kage and Naruto on the side were also dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
Was this still a battlefield?
Why was there a tea party?
So, what was the current situation?
A friendly talk before the battle?
The few looked at each other. Finally, Tsunade couldn't hold back.
With Tsunade's fiery temper, what world peace? It was just Uchiha Madara trying to brainwash Lin Nan and feed him empty promises.
"Little Lin, don't listen to his temptations!"
Hearing this, the Raikage quickly agreed, spitting with his gray beard.
The others did not speak, but watched Lin Nan in his thoughtful state.
"Think about it carefully. I'll deal with these noisy ants first!"
Uchiha Madara slowly stood up, brushed the dust off his pants, and glanced dismissively at the few.
Immediately, a strong gust of wind swept up, and the oppressive aura, as if solidified, pushed the few back two or three steps, showing his imposing presence.
In reality, this move belonged to the category of "monstrous strength."
As a master of "monstrous strength," Tsunade naturally unleashed her chakra and confronted Uchiha Madara.
"Oh? Familiar chakra! I remember you should be Hashirama's granddaughter, right? You've grown so much!" Uchiha Madara looked at Tsunade with interest. "It's just a pity, you're not half as good as your grandfather!"
"You don't deserve to mention my grandfather!" Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened, and murderous intent filled them.
"Then I'll send you to meet your grandfather!" Uchiha Madara scoffed disdainfully.
Seeing the two clash sharply, Lin Nan suddenly spoke slowly.
"Lord Madara, can we take a break in the middle? We won't bully you!"
Turning his head, Uchiha Madara looked at Lin Nan's harmless smile, his expression neither happy nor sad, but his eyes held a hint of coldness. "Are you refusing me?"
Lin Nan just shook his head. "At least, until I see what you're talking about, I won't agree!"
Uchiha Madara nodded slowly. "You are an Edo Tensei body, you will live a long time, you will see!"
With that, Uchiha Madara no longer lingered, turned, and jumped onto a stone pillar. Mu was waiting for him there.
"It seems that this era has also produced remarkable individuals!" Mu sighed.
Sensing Mu's voice and changed gaze, Madara ignored Mu and closed his eyes to rest.
"Little..."
Tsunade walked to Lin Nan's side and was about to speak when she directly jumped up and flicked Lin Nan's forehead.
Lin Nan was knocked to the ground, and the earth cracked.
The scene stunned everyone.
Lin Nan, being an Edo Tensei, couldn't feel pain, so he could only scratch his head and stand up. Before he could speak, Mei Terumi protected herself and glared angrily at Tsunade. "What are you doing, old hag?"
"Old hag?" Tsunade laughed in anger. "Let everyone present see who is younger and more beautiful! A leftover woman who can't get married!"
The so-called "people present" averted their eyes, pretending not to have seen or heard.
"What did you say?" Mei Terumi's eyes turned red, and a oni mask appeared behind her.
Tsunade was not to be outdone, and behind her appeared a sheep drinking sake and holding dice!
