Chapter 22: The plan works! Win-win-win! (Ch 22)

Uchiha Madara looked at the way Moze was seriously discussing the “benevolent destruction method”, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes that had just calmed down began to twitch restlessly again.
He opened his mouth, and countless words of rebuttal surged into his throat, but he swallowed them back.
Arguing with this kid about “The Moon Eye is for peace and happiness”?
Forget it.
Forget it, I’m tired.
Destroy it quickly.
Anyway… Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flowed deep in his eyes.
When the day comes that the Moon Eye Project is truly realized, he will become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, standing at the top of the world and possessing god-like power.
Mo Ze? This guy will only be a thought at that time.
Want him to continue his dream of “euthanasia”? Simple, just drag him into the Infinite Tsukuyomi, weave a beautiful dream for him that best fits his “purification” concept, let him immerse himself in it forever, and you will get what you want.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara suddenly felt that Moze’s heresy was not so harsh.
Even, it’s pretty good.
Look at the boy now, his eyes are shining with enthusiasm for the “purification” cause, and his whole body is filled with an excited emotion of “I will dedicate everything to the great end”.
This drive and enthusiasm are simply pie in the sky.
As long as you go along with his tricks and cater to his twisted theories, you can make him wholeheartedly and passionately contribute to the Moon Eye Project.
Where can we find such free labor that is highly proactive, self-motivated, and does not require special correction?
It doesn’t matter if there are twists and turns in the process, or if the motivation goes astray, as long as the final result is what Uchiha Madara wants, that’s enough.
No loss whatsoever.
Using a madman who is bent on destroying the world to realize his own vision of a “peaceful” world, this operation itself carries a strange sense of irony, which makes Uchiha Madara feel inexplicably better.
“What a pity…”
A thought clearly appeared in the minds of Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu almost at the same time.
‘He is not from the Uchiha clan.’
If you are not a member of the Uchiha clan, or more accurately, do not have the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, you will not be able to unleash the true power of the Rinnegan.
He would not be able to become the executor of the final stage of the Moon Eye Project.
“Otherwise,” Uchiha Madara thought regretfully, “there would be no need to bother looking for the next suitable Uchiha clan member.”
Black Zetsu also felt quite regretful, “Otherwise, after Madara died, he could have simply abandoned him and let this Moze become the vessel for Mother’s resurrection.”
The two people had different thoughts, but at this moment, they both felt sorry for the same thing.
Mo Ze took in the changes in their expressions and breathed a sigh of relief, “It looks like we’ve passed the test.”
Mr. Lu Xun once said: “The Chinese people always like to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark and you want to open a skylight here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the skylight.”
This is known as the “house demolition effect.”
This principle is practical no matter where you apply it.
So he first brought out “Kaguya’s Book of Friends”, which is full of flaws as soon as you hear it, but it also has some real secrets mixed in.
This thing was like throwing a stone into a calm lake. Believe it or not, at least the water surface was rippled and their attention was successfully attracted.
Next, in the shortest possible time, he repeatedly and loudly proclaimed his desire to destroy the world.
It’s not a hint, it’s not an indirect approach, but a direct, fanatical, and almost paranoid way of sticking this label on oneself.
He could even feel the uncontrollable twitching in Uchiha Madara’s eyes just now, most likely because he was stimulated by his overly devoted performance.
The effect is outstanding.
This is exactly the effect we want.
The preconceived impression that “Mo Ze = a madman bent on destroying the world” was imprinted in the minds of these two shrewd guys like a steel stamp.
As long as this seed is planted, even if they notice something wrong with some details in the future, or some of their behaviors deviate slightly from the image of a “pure destroyer”, they will subconsciously explain it by saying “this guy’s brain is not normal.”
A labeled madman is more likely to make people let down their guard than a normal person with a deep mind.
They will feel like they see through you and understand your motivations, and thus put you in the category of “available”.
To a certain extent, they even took the initiative to make excuses for Moser’s behavior.
The plan worked!
Since he has successfully established himself as a high-quality tool with “clear goals”, “pure motivations”, “easy to use and no need to worry about betrayal”, then the next step is naturally to reveal the real purpose…
No, it’s time to show your “enterprising spirit” as a tool!
Moze could almost clearly describe Uchiha Madara’s inner thoughts at this moment: “Such a useful chess piece fell from the sky. Although his brain is not normal, his enthusiasm and execution… If we don’t polish it a little, wouldn’t it be a waste of God’s gift?”
That’s right, this was the real purpose of him taking the risk of appearing in front of Uchiha Madara in person and putting in so much effort to perform.
The Uchiha Madara in front of him was exactly the template of the peerless master in the storybook who fell off a cliff, was trapped in a cave, and happened to meet the protagonist to learn skills.
Moze is aware that his current hard power, especially his fighting skills as a ninja, is still far from enough.
If I could squeeze out the most from this final period of time… no, if I could get personal guidance from Uchiha Madara, the legend of the ninja world.
Not to mention instantly transforming himself into a top-level ninja, at least he could quickly make up for this obvious shortcoming so that he wouldn’t fail miserably at a critical moment in the future due to lack of skills.
The most important thing is that this “old man in the cave” was able to “pass away” on time after passing on his skills, without delaying Mo Ze’s subsequent work at all.
Disposable after use, clean and neat, perfectly in line with sustainable development…
Phew, it is in line with Mo Ze’s long-term plan.
Apart from Uchiha Madara, where else can you find such a caring teacher?
Of course, learning from a master is only one of the options.
The more important target is the heretic demon statue lying here.
Moze never forgot his real trump card and source of power – the power of rat.
He needed to study the Outer Golem up close, analyze its structure, and feel its power fluctuations.
Find out the reason why there is a clear difference in strength between the Outer Path Golem and the Earth Demon Beast, so that you can create a truly powerful puppet that can carry part of the power of the original body.
If it were possible to perfectly replicate and create a puppet with the original’s strength…
There was a flash of heat in Moze’s eyes that he himself hadn’t even noticed.
By then, let alone a mere ninja, even if the legendary God Otsutsuki himself came, he would be able to make the opponent taste the feeling of being defeated!
This time, all three parties are very satisfied.
Win-win-win!
