Chapter 29 I am Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World, the heir of the Ninja Clan… (Ch 29)

Phew!
The kunai pierced through Shou’s chest, like a stone falling into a pool of blood, splashing waves and scattering on Nagato’s face.
The noises coming from the rock formations above our heads foreshadow an impending disaster.
Gravel of varying sizes fell straight down to the ground.
Without having time to think, Nagato immediately let go of the kunai in his hand and rushed towards Ise and Fuso. He carried them on his shoulders and rushed towards the only exit with all his strength.
Outside the cave, hundreds of rock hermits had been waiting for a long time and gathered around the mountain.
Following Huangtu’s order, they formed seals at the same time and pressed their palms on the thick earth and rocks of the mountain.
“Earth Escape: Rock House Collapse!”
“Earth Release: Rock House Collapse!!!”
“withdraw!”
Shou used explosive release from the inside to destroy the balance point of the mountain, but it would still take a short time for it to collapse completely, in order to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
They will not give Nagato any time to escape, and will use the earth escape technique of hundreds of ninjas to accelerate the collapse of the cave.
Nagato will definitely die!
Boom!!!
The hundred-meter-high mountain suddenly cracked and fell downwards.
Inside the cave, the exit was completely blocked. Nagato made a seal without any hesitation, pinning his only hope of survival on it.
“Spiritual Communication Technique: Outer Path Demon Statue!”
A huge figure as dry as a mummy appeared behind Nagato, supporting himself with his arms, bending his upper body, protecting the three people under him, and following Nagato’s command.
But in less than three seconds, thousands and thousands, over a million tons of rubble pressed down on the back of the Outer Golem. His palms could no longer bear such weight, and his body fell down with a thud.
Place your elbows on the ground and press down little by little.
“roar!!!”
Nagato cut the ropes on Ise and Fuso and embraced the two.
“I’m sorry, I’ve dragged you down.”
Tears called guilt are dripping.
Fuso patted Nagato’s back with her palm, just like when he was patted to sleep as a child: “Silly boy, what are you talking about? You will always be our pride.”
“Nagato, promise me that you will live well.” Ise stood up, looked back at the Outer Path Demon Statue, suppressed his instinctive fear, and stood up.
“Father, I’m afraid I can’t do this.”
At this time, Fuso looked back at her husband blankly, released Nagato’s hug, and took Ise’s hand.
They are White Zetsu and can never betray Uchiha Madara.
But at the same time, they are also Nagato’s parents.
“I’m sorry, Nagato, for lying to you for so long. We may not be your real parents.”
“But let us do what parents should do for once.”
They are White Zetsu who have been transformed by Yin-Yang Release. If White Zetsu can do it, they can naturally do it too.
“What… are you talking about?” Nagato looked at his parents in confusion. His mind was a cloud of fog and he had no idea why they would say such things.
Until she saw the faces of the two people turn pale and cracks appear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It turned into two White Zetsu that looked exactly the same.
To Nagato’s shock, the two men’s arms turned into wood and linked together, and thick wooden vines grew out of their bodies, weaving into a semicircular net that protected Nagato inside.
“Goodbye, our child.”
The last goodbye seemed like regret, but also like relief, and more importantly, it was the parents’ deep reluctance to let their children go.
The two people’s bodies completely merged into one, transforming into countless dense roots that wrapped around the surrounding gravel.
Even though this is just a mantis trying to stop a chariot, they are willing to do it if it can give Nagato a chance to survive.
A few minutes after the landslide stopped, Huang Tu led a group of rock ninjas to the top of the rocks.
“Lord Huangtu, there is no chakra reaction from any living people here.” The sensing ninja reported.
Huang Tu stood there for a while, then finally shook his head with regret.
With a landslide of this magnitude, Shou’s body would have probably been smashed into a pulp, and there was no way to bring it back. All they could do was return to the village and build a cenotaph for him.
“Mission completed, go and catch those two guys.”
He did not forget the two companions that Nagato let go before entering the cave.
Hundreds of ninjas instantly spread out and began a carpet search.
…
In the dark cave, sporadic candlelight is the only light.
Nagato woke up quietly.
It hurts, and all the bones in my body feel like they are being smashed and broken.
Suddenly, a white masked face jumped in front of him, scaring him.
“Oh, are you awake?”
The voice sounded a little funny, and Nagato’s mind was confused.
“Where is this?” He tried to prop himself up with his hands, but found that his hands were tied in front of his body with bandages and he could not move.
He could only turn over with difficulty, hunch over like a caterpillar, and crawl up.
Only then did he see the full appearance of the man in the white mask.
Bai was very similar to what he remembered his parents looked like in the end.
Just the appearance is different.
“I didn’t expect you to survive.”
An old and hoarse voice came from behind A Fei, and the person who spoke was Uchiha Madara.
Nagato saw the three-magatama Sharingan in the white-haired old man’s eye sockets at a glance.
“You saved me?”
An elder from the Uchiha clan?
Having lived on the edge of the Minamiga River for five years, Nagato had seen some of the Uchiha ninjas training and fighting.
He would never make a mistake, it was the Sharingan.
“That’s right.”
After hearing the affirmative answer from Uchiha Madara, Nagato immediately asked excitedly: “What about my parents, have you seen them!?”
“The two of them have completed their final mission.”
Madara sighed, his tone full of regret.
“What is going on? Do you know anything?” Nagato’s mood suddenly became gloomy.
The old Uchiha in front of him must know why his parents became like that.
Even though they were dead, he had to get to the bottom of it.
Looking at Nagato who was moving towards him little by little, especially the look in his eyes.
Madara knew that he succeeded.
Although the two White Zetsu, Fuso and Ise, were a little out of control in the end, this not only did not cause the plan to collapse, but made it even more successful.
“Where should I start…” Madara looked up, as if reminiscing about the past.
“Let’s start from the beginning.”
At first Nagato thought that the old Uchiha man in front of him was just a bit long-winded, but as he listened, he was shocked and couldn’t quite believe it. This was completely different from what he had learned in Konoha.
The person in front of him was actually Uchiha Madara, the Shura of the Ninja World, who was once as famous as the Ninja God.
In addition to this identity, he is also the only current heir to the Shinobi Clan, a sect founded by the Six Paths Sage in ancient times.
Madara inherited everything from the Ninja Clan because he opened the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and saw the truth of all this from the Uchiha clan’s ancestral stone tablet.
The fusion of Senju and Uchiha will gain the power of all things.
Only then did he make up his mind to leave Konoha.
Nagato decided to believe this for the time being, at least on the surface, to pretend that he believed it: “So what happened to my parents?”
Madara glared at Nagato. He didn’t like being interrupted, so he continued talking on his own.
“In that battle, I failed in the end, but I didn’t die. Instead, I faked my own death and got a piece of flesh and blood from Hashirama.”
“By transplanting that piece of flesh and blood, I was able to finally open my Samsara Eye, but the price was decades of long and boring waiting.”
“I am too old to realize my ideals anymore.”
“So, I decided to find a successor to carry out the Moon Eye Project for me.”
“Moon Eye Project?”
“That’s right. The Six Paths Sage initially thought that distributing chakra to everyone in the ninja world would make life more convenient, but who knew that this would only exacerbate the evolution of the war.”
“Unfortunately, when he realized that chakra would bring disaster to the world, he was too old, just like me at the time, to have enough strength to realize the Moon Eye Project. So he left it on a stone slab, which is the stone tablet passed down by the Uchiha clan today.”
Nagato had new doubts in his mind. Madara opened the Rinnegan, but in the other party’s eye sockets, there was only a pair of three-magatama Sharingan.
The Rinnegan appeared on his own body instead.
Could it be that…
“You are right. I transplanted your Rinnegan into you when you were young.”
“You mean, you chose me to be the successor of the Moon Eye Project?”
“That’s right.”
“As far as I know, only the Uchiha clan ninjas can open and close the Sharingan freely. Why don’t you find an Uchiha ninja to be your successor?”
“For example, Uchiha Harumitsu.”
Madara laughed, a very loud laugh, and then stared at Nagato with a sharp gaze: “You think I don’t want to?”
“The Moon Eye Project is to bring all the nine-tailed beasts that were extracted from the Outer Path Demon Statue back together again.”
“Resurrect the Ten-Tails, use the moon as a medium, cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi on all mankind, and let all humans live in a world of illusion that suits their wishes.”
“When I noticed Haruki, he had already become the Nine-Tails’ Jinchuriki. Not only that, he had also opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and had Hashirama’s flesh and blood transplanted into him, awakening Wood Release.”
“It’s too late.”
Once the tailed beast leaves the body of a jinchūriki, it will die. Even though Harukitsu sacrificed himself to resurrect the Ten-Tails in the end, no one continued to carry out the Moon Eye Project.
“Wait, can’t Harumitsu open his Rinnegan?”
Madara told Nagato the conditions for opening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
“The Uzumaki are distant relatives of the Senju clan, and the Hagoromo clan were also distant relatives of the Uchiha.”
“The Senju clan was disbanded, the Hagoromo clan was destroyed, the Whirlpool Country was destroyed, and it was difficult for the Uchiha to give birth to the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. I also opened it by accident by chance.”
“Taking all factors into consideration, you who inherited the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan and survived, possess a huge amount of vitality and chakra, which allows you to harness the power of the Rinnegan.”
“When I first found you, your parents were trapped in the ruins to protect you. It was not convenient for me to move around in the ninja world. In order to protect you, I used Yin-Yang-Tsukuyū to revive your parents in another form and transformed them into White Zetsu.”
“I didn’t expect that they would die in the same way to protect you.”
Finally, Madara told Nagato all of this, including the “History of the Ninja Clan” which was mixed with countless unearthly modifications.
At first, Nagato didn’t quite believe it, but now, he believed it.
Because Teacher Jiraiya once told him that he was the son of prophecy predicted by the big toad sage of Mount Myoboku, but he didn’t believe it at first.
But it all fits in.
He will bring changes to the ninja world and move towards peace, or he may lead to the destruction of the ninja world.
Isn’t this perfectly mild with the infinite Tsukuyomi of the Moon Eye Project?
Humanity can indeed obtain peace, but will face final extinction in a world of illusion.
This is both peace and destruction.
At this moment, Nagato felt that the future of the entire ninja world was on his shoulders.
He is the son of prophecy.
“Nagato, hatred will be passed down through the bloodline. As long as humans exist, the fight will never stop. You should understand after experiencing it yourself.”
“Only the Moon Eye Project can bring final peace to the ninja world.”
“This is the mission that has been passed down by the Ninja Clan to this day. It is the Sage of Six Paths, and it is also my lifelong ideal.”
“From now on, the Moon Eye Project and the inheritance of the Ninja Clan will be handed over to you.”
Everything developed according to the script that Madara had planned in advance. Next, Nagato should accept it all with a righteous indignation.
But suddenly, Nagato shook his head: “You are right.”
“But I refuse.”
???
Ban was confused. Everything was going well, so why would he refuse?
Isn’t it painful enough that his parents died twice, and isn’t enough to make him feel despair about this cruel ninja world?
“The Moon Eye Project can bring peace, but it will also lead to the complete extinction of humanity.”
“Only by using the power of the Ten-Tails to make the ninja world feel pain, to the point where they can’t resist, and by experiencing the pain themselves, and placing their hopes on the gods, will humans cherish the hard-earned peace.”
“And I will surpass the former God of the Ninja World and become a true god.”
Madara was silent.
This kid seems to have a little… a bit of a chuunibyou.
But never mind, it doesn’t matter. As long as he can resurrect the Ten-Tails and become its Jinchūriki, that’ll be enough.
Anyway, the final Moon Eye Plan will definitely be carried out by him after he is resurrected.
“Is that so…” Madara fell silent, pretending to hesitate and thinking for a long time.
Nagato just stood in front of Madara.
Until Ban slowly raised his right hand, a black liquid that looked like smelly mud flowed out from his sleeve.
“This is the life I created using Yin-Yang escape technique. I placed my consciousness on it. His name is Black Zetsu.”
“I will assist you in realizing your plan in the future.”
“If your plan fails in the end, you must promise me to carry out the Moon Eye Project.”
Black Zetsu climbed onto the body of a White Zetsu and slowly walked to Madara’s side.
“Nagato, the true use of the Rinnegan, Yin-Yang Release, and how to revive the Ten-Tails all require my guidance.”
Nagato realized that he didn’t seem to have the right to refuse: “Okay, I promise you, I will use the Moon Eye Project as a backup plan.”
If his plan goes according to plan, humans will not be able to wake up and learn to cherish peace, but will continue to resist him, the god and the son of prophecy in the ninja world.
It seems that there is no need for humans to survive anymore…
