Chapter 79 79. Uchiha Madara's Defection
Several months passed, and the situation in the ninja world became increasingly tense, with small conflicts occurring constantly and large conflicts also happening one after another. They have confirmed that the Whirlpool Country will not participate in the war.
Although Hashirama was still trying to stop them, he was powerless. A ninja from his own country died at the hands of the other party, and he had no way to stop it. After all, that's how the Senju and Uchiha were. He was not naive enough to let others watch him kill him.
While the war was raging, a guest arrived in the Land of Whirlpools.
Uchiha Madara was walking on the road of the Land of Whirlpools, looking at the peace in front of him and the children playing, with a slight smile on his face. This was the peace he wanted, but these were just illusions and would disappear after Rawl's death.
The real peace, the Moon Eye Project, this is the real peace. The plan cannot be started at present. He needs to obtain Hashirama's cells and then wait for Raw's death before he can start the plan.
This made the proud Madara feel uncomfortable. In his life, he had never fought with Rawl with all his strength. This time, in addition to seeing the peace established by the other party, he also wanted to fulfill his own wish.
At this time, Luo Er was playing with a group of children and making them happy.
Madara watched from a distance until Roll walked towards him.
"Why did you come to the Land of Whirlpools alone?" Raw was a little curious. Although he and Madara did not have the same bad fate as Hashirama, they had fought several times, especially when Raw was not yet famous.
"I left Konoha." Madara slowly expressed his thoughts.
"Are you coming to me for help?" Luo Er asked knowingly.
"No, I came to end my regrets."
"Settle regrets?" Luo Er was a little confused. They didn't have much contact, so if there were any regrets, they needed to come to him to settle them.
"Uzumaki Rawl, we haven't had a proper fight yet." Madara directly stated his purpose.
"Okay, let's go somewhere else." Rawl touched Madara directly and used Flying Thunder God to take him to a sparsely populated place.
"Madara, is what you see with your eyes necessarily correct?" Rawl said as he came to the opposite side of Madara.
"Rol, these two eyes cannot see everything. Six Paths Sage, do you think he exists?" Madara asked while using Susanoo.
"Of course he exists." Luo Er affirmed.
"The disputes he failed to resolve during his lifetime were finally left on the Uchiha tombstone as solutions he had never tried. Perhaps he still had trust in people, but he failed. Fortunately, he also left behind solutions." Madara's Susanoo continued to change until it became a complete Susanoo.
"Why are you sure that the plan is effective?" Luo Er began to form seals, and a barrier enveloped the two of them, so that their attacks would not damage other locations.
"No one can escape from that technique, Rawl, not even you." Madara said confidently, and then slashed with his sword, trying to split Rawl in half.
And Rawl used the Diamond Chain, the huge chain collided with the sword, and Madara's attack was easily blocked.
"Raw, as long as you are alive, the Whirlpool Country will definitely follow your direction and will be peaceful, but have you ever considered whether the Whirlpool Country will still be the same after you die?" Madara swung out two swords in succession, which could easily split a mountain.
"I can't guarantee that." Rawl still used the diamond chain to block all attacks.
Madara didn't say anything else. Rawl was stronger than him and his approach was more radical, so he said these words subconsciously. What followed was a battle to end his last regret.
"Madara, let me show you something fun." Rawl clasped his hands together: "Senjutsu, Uzumaki Yang Formation." A barrier surrounded Madara's Susanoo, as if he wanted to end it this way.
"Raw, I admit that you are stronger, but..." Madara's attack arrived, but the barrier expanded and contracted like rubber and then returned to its original state. He also attacked many times, but the result was the same.
Luo Er stood outside the barrier, listening to the other party's voice, and then replied: "Ban, your regret cannot be completed. From the beginning to the end, I only used the diamond chain and the sealing barrier."
When Madara found that his attacks had no effect on the barrier, he realized this and dispersed the complete form of Susanoo and sat on the ground, without his initial arrogance.
This was the first time that he, Uchiha Madara, had to escape from someone and wait for the other person to die. This was hard for him to accept.
Roll also cancelled the barrier: "Ban, good luck to you."
"Hmph." Losing is losing. Madara will not be unable to afford to lose. The regret is over. Now the tailed beasts are just fostered here with Rawl. He still has a way to get Hashirama's cells.
But his pride was all gone at this moment. Even Hashirama had fought with him for such a long time, but facing Rawl, it took him less than ten minutes. This already showed that there was a huge gap between the two.
Uchiha Madara came and went quickly, and Rawl returned to the Land of Whirlpools, planning to continue developing through farming.
There is something that Madara said well. After his death, the Whirlpool Country might be plunged into war, but if the Whirlpool Country is strong enough, none of this will be a problem.
The news of Uchiha Madara's defection quickly spread throughout the ninja world, and the three countries that were fighting fiercely in the Land of Lightning began to restrain themselves. You have to know that this person is different from Hashirama, and is more like the type of existence like Raw. Apart from those two, who would dare to provoke him?
Konoha also changed. It was no longer actively mediating the war, but began to develop the village. Although Hashirama did not understand the meaning of Madara's departure that day, he had a hunch that that day would not come too late.
All of this is in the intelligence system of the Whirlpool Country. Because of Rawl's promise, the Whirlpool Country will not take the initiative to provoke a war, so even if the gap is large, the Whirlpool Country will not participate.
Nara, who was in charge of collating the intelligence, frowned. The battlefield in the Land of Lightning would not last more than two years. What really puzzled him was Konoha.
Uchiha Madara came to the Land of Whirlpools because of the barrier, so he naturally discovered it. So he directly looked for information about Uchiha Madara. The other party defected from Konoha and no clan members followed him, so he was unable to guess his purpose.
"What's wrong?" Luo Er walked into the office.
"Lord Rawl, what does Uchiha Madara want to do?" Nara Shikaichi was a little confused.
"He wants to become stronger and pursue a shattered dream." Roll briefly stated the other party's purpose.
Nara Shikaichi still frowned. He had complete information about Uchiha Madara. It was precisely because of this information that he knew how terrifying the other party's strength was.
If it weren't for Hashirama and Rawl, Uchiha Madara could easily rule the ninja world. It was that easy. Who could withstand having such powerful beings disappear from sight and do small things?
Seeing that Nara Shikaichi was still worried, Raw did not say anything to comfort him. Shikaichi thought long-term, so it was normal for him to worry. This also showed that he had already recognized the Whirlpool Country.
"Lord Raw, it seems that you failed to stop Uchiha Madara." Nara Shikaichi looked at Raw. He knew that Madara came to the Land of Whirlpools just to find Raw.
"Well, no, don't worry, since I did it, everything is within my expectations." Rawl shook his head. For him, at least it was better if things were within his expectations. If Black Zetsu was not caught, it would be useless to deal with anyone in advance, as a new Madara would always emerge in the end.
