In the underground space, Tobi stood in front of Uchiha Madara, speaking with a wronged expression.
As for the look Renya had given it, even after several days had passed, it still couldn't forget it.
That gaze was simply like he wanted to kill it!
These past few days, Tobi would often go to Madara-sama to cry and complain about Renya's various actions during missions…
Clearly able to sneak silently into the camp, yet always getting exposed for all sorts of reasons.
It seriously suspected that Renya-sama was an undercover agent of the ninja alliance!
Faced with Tobi's speculation, Uchiha Madara showed no emotion on his face.
Even White Zetsu could see that there was something wrong with Renya—how could he not see it?
It was just that all this time, he couldn't understand what Renya actually wanted.
The "Eye of the Moon" plan's peace for the ninja world?
Obviously not. That brat definitely didn't have such lofty ambitions, otherwise he wouldn't be thinking about sunbathing every day.
But he also hadn't shown obvious resistance like Hashirama did.
Over the years, he had still conscientiously helped capture the tailed beasts, without a single complaint.
So Madara didn't have much of a reaction to Renya's actor-like behavior…
Perhaps Tobi was right—maybe that brat really was an undercover agent of the ninja alliance.
But none of that mattered to him anymore.
Now there was almost nothing that could stir emotions in Uchiha Madara. The only thing he looked forward to was carrying out the "Eye of the Moon" plan, completely ending this decayed ninja world and thereby achieving true peace for the ninja world!
If Renya didn't agree with his views, Uchiha Madara wouldn't do anything to him.
At most, he would let him return to Konoha to bask in the sun, waiting together with Hashirama for the day when peace arrived in the ninja world.
After decades of getting along with Renya, Madara wouldn't kill him over this.
Of course, the premise was that the brat could not obstruct his plan!
"What is it that you actually want?"
Uchiha Madara gazed deeply toward the entrance of the underground space, murmuring softly to himself.
All along, he had never been able to see through Renya, always feeling that he was hiding something from him.
But that was no longer important.
Since Renya didn't want to make a move against the ninja alliance, then he could only take action personally.
After not showing himself for thirty years, the ants of the ninja world seemed to have already forgotten his terror!
To realize peace in the ninja world, start by defeating the ninja alliance.
Before that, he needed to obtain a reasonable explanation from Renya's own mouth, as well as what Renya truly wanted.
...
No one knew how much time passed before a faint sound of footsteps came from the entrance.
Uchiha Madara slowly raised his head and saw Renya walking in.
"Did the mission fail again?"
"Sorry, Madara-sama. The ninja alliance has too many people. Relying on me alone, I simply can't match them."
Renya said with feigned regret, while appropriately revealing a look of disappointment.
Although he knew that Madara might have already discovered that he was just acting, he still wanted to try his luck and see if he could buy some more time.
Uchiha Madara stared expressionlessly at Renya, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long silence, he finally said in a deep voice, "Is this your choice?"
Originally, he hadn't wanted to reveal a hidden truth, but now there truly wasn't much time left for him.
He couldn't keep wasting time with him anymore.
Hearing this, a trace of shock flashed across Renya's face, quickly replaced by confusion.
"Madara-sama, what are you talking about?"
When the boss asks questions, I play dumb. When the boss assigns work, I slack off.
The main idea is to respond to everything, but with no real effect.
Uchiha Madara had long since grown accustomed to Renya's way of playing dumb.
"Enough, stop pretending. Tell me—why are you doing this?"
Uchiha Madara examined Renya closely, wanting to hear the answer he sought from his mouth.
Since he didn't acknowledge the "Eye of the Moon" plan, why had he accepted his invitation in the first place?
Renya's contradictory behavior left him somewhat unable to understand…
Seeing this, Renya knew he could no longer hide it.
After enduring for decades, whether he would succeed depended on today!
"Madara-sama, do you really think the 'Eye of the Moon' plan can bring peace to the ninja world?"
"What do you mean?"
Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Renya with an unfriendly expression.
Renya actually dared to question the ideal he had upheld all this time?
If it were anyone else, he would have slapped them to death long ago.
But the person before him was the only Uchiha junior he had ever truly valued, so he would let him finish speaking before making a decision.
"Your plan came from what you read on the Uchiha clan's stone tablet, right?"
Renya didn't rush to explain, instead raising a question first.
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara was slightly surprised, but quickly calmed down.
He had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, so it wasn't strange that he could see the hidden content on it.
"Since you've already read it, why would you still have doubts?"
The contents on the stone tablet were clear and explicit, directly stating the method to achieve peace in the ninja world.
He felt there was no problem at all, and over the years he had never harbored any doubts.
"Madara-sama, have you ever considered that the contents on the stone tablet were actually tampered with by someone?"
Renya slowly voiced his own view.
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible!"
Uchiha Madara suddenly widened his eyes, rare anger appearing on his usually calm face.
"Don't talk nonsense! I examined the text on the stone tablet carefully—there's no possibility that it was altered!"
It was one thing for Renya not to acknowledge his "Eye of the Moon" plan, but to even question the authenticity of the plan itself—
It was simply absurd!
If it were anyone else, the moment those words were spoken, they would already have been blasted into a mist of blood by an enraged Uchiha Madara.
"Madara-sama, please calm down first."
Renya was afraid that Uchiha Madara wouldn't listen to any explanation and would start fighting him directly…
Although the final outcome might still be the two of them fighting, he still wanted to try persuading Madara with words.
If you can use your mouth, don't use your hands.
Talk-no-jutsu is a technical skill—who knows if he had it.
"I want to ask—why do you believe the contents of the stone tablet so completely? Did you never consider verifying their authenticity?"
"Sometimes, things left behind by ancestors aren't necessarily correct…"
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara fell into silence instantly.
How could he not know that the contents might not be correct? But at that time, he had already had no other choice.
If he wanted to realize peace in the ninja world, the only path laid before him was the "Eye of the Moon" plan!
It wasn't that he blindly believed the contents of the stone tablet—it was that this was the only road he could walk.
As for whether the "Eye of the Moon" plan was correct, that could only be known after it was carried out.
"Madara-sama, have you ever thought that if even the slightest part of what's written there is false—"
Before Renya could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Uchiha Madara.
"Enough!"
