[V2] - Chapter 71. I Will Be Your Eyes
---
What the hell is this?!
If I remember correctly…
Uchiha Yumi… should only be three years old… maybe not even three yet!
Are you kidding me?!
Uchiha Sasuke was completely stunned, holding his sword motionless, frozen on the spot. Even after that group of little white men quietly left, he still hadn't come back to his senses.
In the end, his eyelids twitched, and his expression… never mind.
So stiff it looked like a cramp!
Completely dumbfounded!
At this moment—
He didn't even know what to say anymore.
Expressionless, he sheathed his sword.
Ultimately, he decided to just leave it alone.
Although he didn't know what that guy was planning, to be honest, even if Otsutsuki Kaguya really showed up, she wouldn't be able to face those three-tomoe Sharingan…
So, it's not a big problem!
"Forget it! This is the matter of this Ninja World! It's better not to get too involved." Sasuke sighed with emotion and said no more. He shook his head and stared at the blind Uchiha Madara being surrounded by a group of eager-to-fight ninjas. "Since Otsutsuki Urashiki is already dealt with, I should head back to find Boruto."
This Ninja World—
Can't stay here too long!
If he stayed too long, his heart might have issues.
Didn't you see?
Now even Uchiha Madara can't dance anymore?
…
It's pitch black in front of him.
He couldn't see anything.
Madara stood on the giant tree, feeling the movements around him. The corner of his mouth twitched.
Why did he suddenly revive?
Who did this?
Black Zetsu?
But if you wanted to revive me… could you at least check the timing first?
He had just declared he'd take on everyone, to show them who the strongest in the Ninja World truly was, and to create a new Ninja World, proving to that big idiot who the real strongest is.
And now?
Suddenly blind!
Fine, blind then!
But where's Black Zetsu?
Why hasn't his will appeared yet?
And the White Zetsus?
He clearly sensed those guys' presence just now, so why have they all vanished without a trace?
He's been standing here for so long, and no one thought of getting him a pair of eyes?!
Even if they're not Rinnegan, regular Uchiha eyes would do!
Could it be…
Something went wrong?
Madara's heart sank as he seemed to notice the ninjas surrounding him.
Densely packed!
Though he already realized internally that the plan likely failed, as Uchiha Madara, how could he admit defeat so easily?!
He closed his eyes and let out a cold snort. Even blind, he was still peerlessly domineering. Looking down, he said flatly, "It seems this time I have failed!" A slight pause. "But I will definitely return."
Even if he failed this time, with his will still intact… surely it wouldn't be long before his next resurrection!
He spread his arms open wide. "You useless bunch! Come at me together!"
As soon as the words fell—
Immediately, the surrounding ninjas froze, then glared angrily at Uchiha Madara.
"So arrogant! He's blind and still this arrogant!"
"Kill him! Kill him! Let's see how he can still dance now!"
"Come on! Dance!"
Everyone was furious!
All the ninjas had hostile expressions, cracking their knuckles, preparing to show this blind legend of the Ninja World why flowers are so red.
Suddenly—
A figure shakily stood up, shielding Uchiha Madara!
That was—
The God of the Ninja World once pinned to the ground — Senju Hashirama!
At this moment—
The black receivers on his body had been removed by the Second Hokage. His whole body was exhausted, panting heavily, but still firmly stood in front of Uchiha Madara!
"Grandpa (First Hokage-sama!)!"
"Idiot brother!" Senju Tobirama looked at the black receiver in his hand, then at his big brother who was barely managing to stand in front of Madara, and immediately shouted loudly, "What the hell are you doing?!"
"Sorry!" Hashirama gave a bitter smile. "I can't just watch Madara die in front of me like this!"
"He just tried to kill you!"
"I know!"
"You idiot! I shouldn't have pulled those receivers out earlier!"
"Sorry, Tobirama!" Hashirama apologized to his younger brother, then took a deep breath, looked at the surrounding ninjas, straightened up, and without hesitation bowed deeply. "I'm sorry! Could I ask you all to spare Madara? I promise I'll keep a good eye on him!"
As soon as he finished—
"???"
Everyone immediately looked at each other.
After all, even though the First Hokage had recently drawn a lot of criticism for suppressing Impure World Reincarnation, no matter what… he was still the God of the Ninja World who ended the Warring States period. And now, suddenly bowing like this—
All of a sudden—
No one knew what to do.
But Uchiha Madara…
No one had forgotten how much this guy deserved a beating just now!
In the end, after a bit of hesitation… everyone turned to look silently at the Fourth Hokage.
"…" The Fourth Hokage also fell silent for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, seemingly pondering something. Finally, he sighed, face firm, stepped forward, and looked straight at Hashirama. "First Hokage-sama…"
However—
Before he could finish—
"I don't need you, you idiot, to speak for me!" Uchiha Madara, standing behind Hashirama, immediately stretched out his hand to push Hashirama away, but couldn't move him at all. Feeling Hashirama stubbornly standing in front of him, his heart trembled slightly, as if recalling their days of battling together in the Ninja World.
But not long after—
He still spoke coldly, "One day! I'll definitely return again and prove that I am right!"
As he spoke, his entire body exuded a powerful aura. Even though he was blind, he still domineeringly used his tightly shut eyelids to stare at everyone. "Come on! All of you, come at me! Even if I can't see, do you really think you can defeat this—"
Suddenly—
Feeling a hand grab his shoulder, Uchiha Madara opened his mouth, but the rest of his words never came out.
"Madara! Stop this already!" Hashirama's tone grew heavier, then he turned his head again and bowed deeply to everyone. "I'm sorry! Please trust me! I'll definitely keep a close watch on Madara!"
"I don't need you to worry about me!"
"I was the one at fault in the past! Let the sins between us be settled by us alone!"
"How will we settle it?"
"Two times! Two times at most!"
"You idiot, what the hell are you talking about?"
"Live on!" Senju Hashirama said in a deep voice. "Come with me and take a good look at this Ninja World! Didn't you always say everything online was fake? That it was all depraved? Come with me and walk around—see for yourself whether it's real or fake!"
After he finished speaking—
This time—
Madara fell silent again. After a moment, he raised his head with a blank expression, as if looking at Senju Hashirama. "I'm already blind! How can I see?"
"No problem!" Upon hearing Madara finally yield a little, Hashirama immediately smiled. "I'll be your eyes! I'll tell you everything I see!"
"Idiot! Who asked for that?!"
"Madara! Let me be your eyes!"
"Fool! You'll regret this eventually!"
"I'll watch over you closely!"
"Hashirama!!!"
"Madara!!!"
"…"
What the hell are these two doing?
Everyone around was speechless, watching the two suddenly lock eyes at each other affectionately.
Even Tsunade covered her face.
Grandpa is such an idiot!
"Forget it! Forget it! Since the First Hokage is saying this, let's give him some face!"
"That's right! And with the Uchiha clan vouching for him! It should be fine!"
"If anything goes wrong, we'll just expose him!"
"What a touching bond!!!"
"Disperse! Disperse! Everyone disperse!"
Everyone looked around and finally showed relieved smiles.
"The war is finally over!"
"Time to go home!"
"I'm really alive again?! Akiko and Sho… it's been so long, I wonder how they're doing now!"
"Don't worry, big brother, I've been taking good care of sister-in-law and the children!"
"Thanks for all these years! Come on, come on, let's hurry home. I really miss them now!"
"Big brother, your old house got demolished a few years ago!"
"Huh? How did that happen?! Where are Akiko and the others living now?"
"Uh… with me."
"???"
Meanwhile… Uchiha Sasuke, who had also been watching silently, sheathed his sword once more. He looked deeply at the two figures, then turned his head to see Uchiha Obito not far away, being scolded by Nii Yugito while tugging on his ear, still mumbling something like "Women can only…" Then he turned again, looking at an old Uchiha man being supported up by a Byakugan old lady, wearing a trendy little vest, looking very stylish.
The corner of his mouth twitched again. He sighed, shook his head, and muttered to himself,
"Forget it…"
It's time to pack up and go home!
As he spoke, he turned and prepared to leave.
This Ninja World.
He… was already used to it.
