Naruto: Long Live Hokage's
Chapter 146: Choice
When Masahiko goes to meet Madara, he is ready to face his lightning strike. But who knew that after he opened the Sharingan, he would turn around, then slowly sit down again.
“Indeed, it's been a long time, old man.”
Masahiko was stunned for a moment, then he exerted his gravitational force, and a flat stone naturally appeared under his feet, and he also sat down, staring at Madara.
“Why is he sitting, is it because he knows that he is not my opponent in his current state? Madara, you really have fallen, you will not be afraid of the strength of previous enemies.” Masahiko looked sad.
Madara's face was already covered in wrinkles, her hair was almost white, but the veins on her forehead proved that she was still alive.
It took a long time for Madara to speak, “Old sir, you really played dirty.”
Madara closed his eyes, but Masahiko did not know what to say, he could only smile.
“Parent,” Madara finally said, “I have some questions that need your answer.”
Masahiko was surprised, then he slowly nodded.
“Is infinite Tsukuyomi really possible?”
Madara's question surprised Masahiko, but he thought it made sense. He believed that Black Zetsu's intervention in the battle in the final valley would definitely raise questions in Madara's heart. But what surprised Masahiko was the fact that Madara asked him, as if he felt that Masahiko knew what Tsukuyomi was without limits.
“Tunami without limits what is this?” Masahiko pretended to look confused.
“Parents, do not try to hide it ..”
“It seems you already know that Hashirama will die and I will leave Konoha, and you have long known that I will attack the village.” Madara slowly said, “You can't hide anything from me. Yes, only an idiot like Hashirama would not notice it.”
Masahiko: “...”
Always like this with Madara, you can't be too relaxed nearby, even a calm expression will make him suspicious.
“Is it true it is the problem?” Masahiko's silence is enough for Madara, “So this time, you also know that I will use the child?”
Masahiko sighed.
“So this is where I made a mistake, I should have killed you the first time I met you, old man.”
Masahiko kept smiling, saying, “This is just a coincidence, and you are the only one to blame for your dark life.”
“I'm to blame, huh?” Madara stood up and said, “So, you also know about my Rinnegan? Which led me to assume that my entire plan was revealed. ”
Masahiko's expression changed, and he could only grin.
“Madara, you are really smart. Between you and Hashirama, maybe you are the one who can create a truly peaceful and prosperous world.”
“True peace and prosperity..” whispered Madara, “You mean what is written in Infinite Tsukuyomi is wrong?”
Masahiko hesitated, then shook his head, “That's true, but that's not peace.”
After saying this sentence, Masahiko switched the subject.
“It has nothing to do with me.”
Madara sat down again.
Masahiko reluctantly smiled bitterly, it seemed like Madara had already learned about the Uchiha from Black, but she was not good at expressing her inner feelings.
Even if he didn't seem to care, Madara was really fighting for the clan; he desperately wanted kindness for them.
Masahiko had no plans to do anything, and like a tired old man, he closed his eyes and rested. It had been over half an hour since he had come here to meet Madara. He was only focused on her, so he did not have time to pay attention to his surroundings.
The underground cavern was very large. Masahiko entered the cave under the Late Valley then ran southwest for over ten kilometers before finally finding Madara. If Masahiko's sense of direction is not wrong, they should be near Kusagakure, and even closer to Kannabi Bridge.
However, not far from Madara, there was a strange-looking stone statue, tens of meters tall, with several round strong pillars emerging from his shoulders. It must be Gedo Mazo, which is the container of Juubi.
Looking around carefully, Masahiko glanced at Madara with a smile, “The environment is quite spacious, but it must be difficult to live for years without sunlight. However, your skin is not yet bleached.”.
Madara did not reply, Masahiko stopped, then said, “Your hope for resurrection has disappeared. Are you planning to spend the rest of your day here and die?
Madara opened the Sharingan again, looked at Masahiko deeply, then spoke again. “Another question, what is a black man?”
Masahiko smiled, “That's your will. Hashirama has the desire of fire, and you have the desire of darkness. One is red, and the other is black.. It fits perfectly!”.
Madara frowned and stopped talking.
“You can take your stuff back!” Masahiko hesitated, took out a box with Rinnegan, and threw it at Madara.
Madara reached out and caught him with a grin, “Old man, I think you have lived for years by letting go of your courage.”
Masahiko shook his head, “I just don't want to miss the last chance to win against you, without Rinnegan you will be vulnerable, even if I win, it won't count.”
Madara clenched her right hand tightly, then she started transplanting her eyes.
“Old man, you really played dirty,” Madara repeated his opening speech again.
Masahiko recalled, “I remember that we had fought three times, and I always lost. The first one was when I was 49, and you were 17. Second, I'm 62, and you're 30. The third, I am 67 years old, and you are 35 years old.”
“But now,” Masahiko sighed, “I'm 100 years old, and you're 68 years old, do you think you still have the strength to fight me?”
Madara did not answer. Rinnegan's strength returned to her again, and her chakra surged violently, her white hair turned black, and the wrinkles on her face slowly faded. Two minutes later, the younger version of Madara was in front of Masahiko.
Masahiko felt shocked and thought, “So this is your answer Madara,” But he kept smiling, “When we were in the Second Shinobi World War, he said, you mocked me because you thought I had drained my vitality to fight you. I never expected you to do the same.”
“Old man, don't blame me when I kill you!” Madara did not answer.
“You think you can kill me?” Masahiko laughed, “I will only play with you one last time, and I hope you can dance with me along the way!”
(T/N: this is actually one of Madara's famous quotes.)
