in the audience.
When Sasuke saw the cold, handsome figure on the screen, his pupils suddenly contracted.
That ancestor I met just yesterday, Uchiha Madara?!
"Is it that ancestor from yesterday?! He's the protagonist of today's dream?!"
Sasuke's sudden exclamation broke the silence of the theater.
Kakashi, who was standing nearby, nodded upon hearing this and confirmed in a low voice, "That's right, it's him."
[Ding! Sasuke's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
When Sasuke heard the affirmative answer, he felt a jolt in his mind, both shocked and confused.
"But he—wasn't he already—?"
Sasuke didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
Madara Uchiha was active during the Warring States period, so he should be long gone from this world.
Why are you here?
Kakashi sighed softly upon hearing this.
"well-
—
He raised his hand and scratched his head.
"It's the Impure World Reincarnation, a forbidden technique that can summon the dead from the Pure Land back to the mortal world. In a sense, he is indeed alive now."
"Impure World Reincarnation—?"
Sasuke repeated the unfamiliar word in a low voice.
Alive means that Madara Uchiha is currently somewhere in the real world.
His eyes instantly blazed with intense light!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"Kakashi-sensei! Where is he now?!"
Sasuke pressed for an answer.
In that instant, only one thought occupied his mind: Since that legendary ancestor was still alive, he had to find him.
"Sasuke? You—"
Sasuke's overly intense reaction instantly alerted Kakashi.
He immediately thought of the promise that Hokage Madara made to Sasuke yesterday when he left the Uchiha family mansion.
Kakashi sensed something was wrong. He sat up straight and looked intently at the black-haired boy in front of him: "Sasuke, what do you want to do?!"
Sasuke met his probing and wary gaze without flinching or hiding anything.
He took a deep breath and calmly met Kakashi's gaze.
"I'm going to find him and have him teach me how to become stronger!"
"That's what he promised me!"
Kakashi felt a sinking feeling in his heart upon hearing this.
Sure enough!
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +600!]
The promise Madara Uchiha made to Sasuke last night has ultimately planted a seed in Sasuke's heart.
"What?!"
Almost as soon as Sasuke finished speaking, a horrified voice came from the side.
Jiraiya had been leaning back in his seat, looking quite relaxed, but at that moment he suddenly sat up straight.
"Sasuke, immediately abandon this dangerous idea! Madara Uchiha is an extremely dangerous being; he's a million times more terrifying than you imagine!"
"Sasuke, Jiraiya is right!" Hiruzen Sarutobi continued in a deep voice, "Madara Uchiha is the root of the ninja world's turmoil! He's someone you absolutely should never associate with!"
As Jiraiya and the Third Hokage issued warning after warning, Sasuke frowned, his face showing obvious confusion.
In his view, the extremely dangerous Uchiha Madara they spoke of was not so to him.
At least yesterday, he personally saw and interacted with Uchiha Madara, who, despite his domineering and forceful personality, showed him the care of an elder.
Not only did they acknowledge my potential, they also offered to guide my cultivation.
Thinking of this, Sasuke pursed his lips, feeling resentful.
"The Madara Uchiha I met wasn't the person you all described—"
However, before he could finish speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a gloomy, hoarse laugh.
"Hmph—they are just a bunch of short-sighted fools. How could they possibly understand Lord Madara's magnanimity and greatness?"
'
Sitting in the shadows of the corner, Shimura Danzo slowly raised his head, his gaze burning and crazed.
Obito, sitting in the darkness on the other side, saw Danzo's expression and couldn't help but look as if he had seen a ghost.
Isn't this old geezer the one who always hated the Uchiha the most?
What nonsense are you spouting now?
Has he really gone mad?!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Obito never expected that Danzo, who was usually full of prejudice and hostility towards the Uchiha clan, would speak up for Madara Uchiha at this moment, and his attitude was almost like that of a fanatic!
Danzo's gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Sasuke.
When his gaze fell upon Sasuke's sharply defined profile and dark eyes.
Danzo's gaze softened for a rare moment.
Through this boy, he saw the shadow of Izuna-sensei.
Immediately afterward, Danzo said confidently, "You brat from the Uchiha clan, you can rest assured—just based on your appearance, I can guarantee with my life that Lord Madara will absolutely not harm you!"
"Danzo!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly flew into a rage, abruptly standing up from his seat, his beard trembling slightly with anger.
"What utter nonsense are you spouting?!"
"Shut your mouth right now! Or don't blame me for disregarding our past relationship!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly enraged this time.
Danzo's own madness is one thing.
He absolutely would not allow Danzo to push Sasuke into the fire with such absurd remarks.
The scene quieted down for a moment, but Sasuke, who was at the center of the storm, kept his head down and remained silent.
Stray hairs fell across his forehead, obscuring his eyes and making it impossible to see his expression.
The vehement opposition from everyone just now, Kakashi's stern warning, Hiruzen Sarutobi's furious rebuke, and even Danzo's incomprehensible guarantee—
These contradictory pieces of information filled Sasuke's mind at that moment.
His thoughts were a jumbled mess, but none of them could truly shake the dangerous idea that had already sprouted deep within his heart.
In that instant, the scene from that day flashed through Sasuke's mind again.
Nii-san, the scene where that fake guy brutally killed him with Susanoo!
Heart-wrenching hatred — excruciating pain —
strength!
I need strength!
Powerful enough to kill that man!
Stay in Konoha and train step by step?
Like this, gradually increasing our strength step by step —
When will I finally have the power to take revenge on that counterfeiter?!
Sasuke clenched his fist even tighter in the shadows beside him; even his dream version of Nii-san was no match for that guy.
His plan to defeat the fake through dream cultivation was clearly very difficult!
Only Uchiha Madara————
Sasuke couldn't help but recall the domineering and powerful figure on the screen once again.
Only he, only Madara Uchiha with a power level that transcends the norm, could possibly make me strong enough in the shortest amount of time.
Powerful enough to end that man's life with his own hands!
Just as Sasuke silently completed his dangerous mental preparation, his eyes gradually turning cold and resolute.
In a distant corner, Itachi Uchiha, who had been silently watching his younger brother, took in all of this.
With just one glance, he had already discerned the terrifying thought brewing in Sasuke's mind.
Itachi's dark eyes dimmed slightly, but he said nothing, his face remaining calm and composed.
On the screen, the dream continues.
The two figures in the picture are standing side by side.
Hashirama Senju looked at the person beside him with a slightly sentimental expression.
"Madara, isn't that the idea you mentioned to me last time—using force to defend peace?"
"Although Tobirama keeps complaining that this approach is too risky, will disrupt the balance between nations, and shouldn't make too many enemies—"
"But actually, I don't really understand all these complicated details!"
Hashirama's words carried his usual straightforwardness and generosity.
He turned his head slightly and looked at Uchiha Madara again with that clear and firm gaze, his eyes full of trust and sincerity.
"But, Madara!"
"Now that you are the one sitting in the Hokage position, leading Konoha Village forward, I have decided to support your decision!"
"Our Senju clan will also fully cooperate with you!"
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha shuddered. His previously calm eyes suddenly widened in shock as he stared at Hashirama and repeated incredulously in a low voice, "Hashi-sama—you—you actually agreed to this?"
His voice trembled, as if he himself could not believe the support he heard from Hashirama.
How is this possible?!
A tremendous storm surged through Ban's heart.
How could Hashirama agree with this idea of maintaining peace based on absolute power and fear?
A stark contrast between reality and dreams.
It gave him an extremely strong sense of absurdity.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Madara have been detected! Emotional value +1500!]
Hashirama nodded and laughed heartily, "Yes, that's right, I agree!"
Completely oblivious to the turmoil raging within Madara Uchiha's heart, he continued speaking to himself.
Immediately afterwards, he stopped smiling, stepped forward, and patted Uchiha Madara heavily on the shoulder.
Hashirama rarely showed such a serious expression, his gaze fixed intently on Madara's eyes: "But, Madara! You must promise me—"
"The ultimate goal of everything you do must be to ensure that everyone in this village, and everyone who lives here, can escape unnecessary war and sacrifice and achieve true and lasting peace! That is the most important thing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Madara Uchiha was completely stunned.
He opened his mouth, but found that his throat was blocked and he couldn't say a word.
Hashirama Senju's words were less of a show of support and more of a trust.
A weighty entrustment built on absolute trust!
This is unreserved trust and heavy expectation.
Madara Uchiha suddenly felt his breathing become labored!
In an instant!
Countless memories flooded into Madara Uchiha's mind.
The scenes of their heated arguments due to differing ideals, the resolute backs as they parted ways because of their conflicting ambitions, and the icy despair and loneliness that welled up in their hearts as they walked away back to back in front of the Naka Shrine for the last time—
These fragments of the past overwhelmed him like a tidal wave.
On what grounds————
Madara Uchiha clenched his fist tightly, veins bulging.
A surge of bitter, resentful anger suddenly erupted from the depths of his heart!
Why is it that Madara Uchiha in this dream world can obtain all of this so easily?
Why would Hashirama Senju support him so unhesitatingly?
Just because he's the Hokage?!
Do you think I can gain your approval just by changing my identity or the timing, Haxi Hot Mom?!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Madara have been detected! Emotional value +3000!]
However, in the next instant, Madara Uchiha suddenly closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing the extremely violent emotions in his heart.
When he opened his eyes again, they had regained their usual coldness and depth, as if his momentary loss of composure had never happened.
"boring."
Madara Uchiha left behind those two ambiguous words, turned around without looking back, and strode away.
His back remained straight and upright, exuding the same arrogance as always, but he looked somewhat flustered and disheveled.
Hashirama Senju stood there, stunned, watching Madara's departing figure, a slightly confused expression on his face.
