v2 Chapter 21： Old man in the dark

In an unknown depth of the ground, thick tree roots extend irregularly around, clinging to dry soil walls, where silence and darkness coexist, gloomy and terrifying.

In the dark depths, stood a huge humanoid stone statue. The stone statue has nine closed eyes, a hideous face, and a color and body like dead wood.

Below the stone statue, several pipes stretched forward and inserted into the body of a gray-haired old man. The old man sat on the stone platform with a cane. His expression was indifferent, and the two eye sockets under his bangs were empty. It's a bit scary.

The old man stared at the darkness ahead, or in other words, he who had no eyes could only see the darkness.

But what does it matter? As long as he is willing, the entire Shinobi world can't hide anything from him.

The dark ground suddenly fluctuated, as if it was slowly twisting, and finally a pure white creature came out.

"Hey, Lord Madara, you woke up so early this time." The white creature used an exaggerated tone to express his surprise, but it seemed to be somewhat acting.

"Well, how long have I slept this time?" Ban raised his head slightly.

"...Uh, this." The white creature tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven days..."

"It's been twenty years?" The old man's tone finally made waves, after all, anyone who heard this number would feel...too horrified.

"Wrong wrong, Master Ban." The white creature waved his hand quickly. "I am confused. This is the time when I have not had a bowel movement."

"..."

"I'll count it. Every day, I will make a scratch on it. Wait."

"..."

Madara snorted coldly, but didn't say anything, and didn't have much impatience. For him, time... is the least valuable thing.

And Bai Jue, this clone of the inter-column cells, could be regarded as a long-night pastime.

Five minutes later, Bai Jue finally finished counting the nicks, raised his head excitedly, and shouted to the old man on the stone chair: "Master Madara, I have finished counting. It has been 186 days in total."

"It's been half a year." Spot nodded, and then continued to ask: "Anything worth noting recently?"

"Yes. Three generations of Kazekage were captured by Osamaru, Sakumo Hagi, Jiraiya, and Uchiha Tatsumi. Then Sagakura Village surrendered, and the agreement has just been signed."

"Shayin's defeat was unexpected." Madara showed a clear look, then shook his head again, disdainfully said: "These three generations of Fengying are really rubbish, one generation is not as good as one generation, thinking about me and Zhujian back then. .."

"Fighting for three days and three nights, and you are the collision of muscles, the competition of souls! I know, you have described it several times."

"..."

For some reason, the old man felt that the closed underground space seemed a bit stuffy and hot.

"What about Yunyin Village and Yanyin Village?"

"Still fighting." Bai Jue said immediately.

"That kid Oh Yemu, really didn't make any progress."

Bai Jue asked in a puzzled way: "Why did Lord Madara help him? If you hadn't released Yao, maybe this Ninja World War would have ended long ago."

"I am not helping Ohnoki, but to help all humans." The old man replied lightly.

He learned from the stele very early that there was no chakra in ancient times.

People can only live on this land like the most ordinary creatures.

Later, the six immortals appeared, and he spread this invisible power in the world...As a result, humans possessed extraordinary abilities.

Under the leadership of the six immortals, humans with chakras are like gods walking on the ground, building numerous temples, allowing new believers from all over the world to share wisdom and love together.

In that short period of time, humans seemed to sublimate themselves calmly, detached themselves from the imprisonment of the world, and achieved true peace.

However, human beings are mortal bodies, susceptible to the temptation of arrogance, hatred, anxiety and greed.

As the years went by, some people began to humiliate the teachings of the Six Dao Immortals, distorting and misusing this power for personal desire.

Since then, war has spawned... a stronger, more direct, and more destructive war.

What followed was the fall of mankind.

And, the darkness that lasted for thousands of years.

In Madara's view, the Ninja World War is the pinnacle of dark expansion.

If humans want to embrace the light, they must endure the darkness. The deeper the darkness, the greater the pain, and the greater the desire for light.

"And my Uchiha spot..." A flush of flush appeared on his face. "It will be the existence that lights up the light."

After a long time, Bai Jue watched the old man sitting on the stone chair stop moving, and couldn't help but ask, "Master Ban, are you asleep?"

"no, what happened?"

"The guy named Uchiha Tomitake that you asked me to monitor had an accident today."

Then Bai Jue Xiang Madara said everything he had seen, including all that Fu Yue had shown in the battle, in vivid and detailed.

"Finally I went to check and found that the guy was obviously dead, but in the end he came back alive..."

"It's Izanagi." The old man touched his empty eyes and continued: "This technique can convert all the injuries suffered by the caster, including death, into dreams.

But the price is that the eyes will lose light forever. "

"In that case, why didn't that guy's injury get better? Otherwise, I wouldn't have to give him a little chakra."

"According to your description, he made the seal when he was lying on the ground. Therefore, the record of the round eyes was written, only his physical condition while lying on the ground, and his injuries were naturally recorded."

"So that's the case." Bai Jue nodded in satisfaction after getting the answer, and then asked, "Do you need to continue to monitor him?"

"Let's watch."

Although Fu Yue's left eye was already blind, in Madara's view, it was not a big deal. As long as he is willing, it is a trash and can be trained!

Therefore, strength is not the point. It is good to be strong, and it is OK to be weak. The key is... love.

As long as there is love, the deeper the darkness and the stronger the power of hatred. Coupled with the kaleidoscope writing round eyes, he can walk in the Ninja World as his substitute for Uchiha Madara and complete the preparations for unlimited moon reading. .

Fuyue has love, otherwise he would not choose to sacrifice himself to protect his people.

But the only thing that made Madara dissatisfied was that this person wanted to work, but he was slightly cowardly.

If it's just these, it's a low-profile version of Sarutobi Rizen at best, but the key is... the ability is not enough, so you can look forward to the future.

For example, in this incident, since they knew that they had fallen into the trap of Shinobu, they should immediately choose to break out of the encirclement. After all, the encirclement was not fully formed at that time, instead of breaking out at the end.

So Madara said and watched, after all, there are still many candidates in his hand.

Even if this generation is not good, you can still wait for the next generation of ninjas to be born, or that sentence... the last thing he lacks is time!

"How is Nagato?"

"He Yahiko and Xiao Nan still live in that small wooden house. While practicing, they occasionally go to nearby towns to help ordinary people."

"Well, it seems that it will take a long time for him to grow."

"What about writing round eyes?"

"I collected a lot of and placed them next to the Outer Golem. Do you want to change it now?"

"I can do it by myself, you can continue to monitor it."

"Understood." Bai Jue nodded slowly, slowly blending into the ground like mud, disappearing invisible.

After Bai Jue disappeared, Madan slowly stood up, did not hold his cane, but tremblingly walked towards the outgoing golem.

When he touched the outer golem's body, his hands trembled slightly, and his face showed a drunken expression.

"Soon...my successor will catch them all...return to your arms."

"Until then‥‥‥"

Madara opened her arms...

"I will be resurrected and come back to this world;

I will transform and become the new six immortals;

I will prove that there is only one road to peace;

And he will live forever in my infinite monthly reading! "

The old man slowly raised his head, staring at a dark place, and a smile slowly appeared on his old face.

I have been waiting for years...
