Naruto: Passerby and Returnee

Chapter 527 The Defeat of the Celebrity Talker

After a period of chaos, Madara finally confirmed, amidst the two's apparent ignorance, that Izuna's body had indeed not been disturbed. So where did the genetic material that summoned Izuna come from? For the first time, Hashirama began to doubt his own brother, and his gaze towards Izuna became strange.

When exactly did these two start dating? Could it be while they were still alive?!

The Uchiha clan's communication style was simple and direct. Izuna revealed everything to his brother without reservation, exchanging glances between them. Even Madara Uchiha, who had weathered nearly a century of storms, had to admit that Naruto Uzumaki was a sufficiently powerful madman. This wasn't simply a praise of his strength, but also of his absolutely unwavering core.

As fellow individuals who gamble with their lives, Naruto Uzumaki clearly garnered more recognition. Even if Izuna said nothing, he could clearly sense which side his younger brother's heart leaned towards.

So, should he try that seemingly bright path?

"Too naive." Ban was not blinded by the hope depicted. "Human greed is endless. No matter how many restrictions are set, there will always be someone who can find a loophole."

"What makes you so sure that new nobles won't emerge decades or centuries from now? They'll just change their methods and use more secretive channels that are harder for ordinary people to detect to control power."

There is no perfect system in this world, nor are there resources that can satisfy everyone. Driven by their desires, humanity's struggles will never cease. Moreover, "Hui" has invented weapons that even ordinary people can easily use, which will only intensify future conflicts.

"That spaceship is an important warning. It indicates that there is not just one race in this world, and we are very likely to be invaded by other races in the future. In that case, absolute power is even more necessary."

"Izuna, only the Infinite Tsukuyomi can satisfy everyone's desires, and only by consuming the fruit of the Divine Tree can one become the strongest being in this world. If you also yearn for true peace, why not try my path?"

Madara extended his hand and said with utmost seriousness, "Now that I have returned to the human world, victory is within my grasp. Izuna, trust me, and witness this new world together."

I knew it wouldn't be easy to persuade Madara Uchiha, but... I didn't expect it to be this difficult. Most people would inevitably waver after seeing the brilliant achievements of "Hikaru," but Madara always managed to see the darkness beneath the surface.

These problems have indeed always existed, especially among those who joined "Hui" for personal gain rather than faith. However, according to "Hui's" ideology, they do not ruthlessly eliminate dissidents but are open and inclusive. Therefore, if they accelerate the expansion of their territory without laying a solid foundation, chaos is very likely to ensue in their rear.

"Of course we've considered these issues, which is why we're promoting education so that all children can go to school!" Hashirama argued. "One generation might not be able to completely liberate themselves from old ideas, so let's do two or three generations! As long as we instill true 'equality' into people's hearts, those who aspire to become the new aristocracy will surely be defeated by the new 'Radiance'!"

Madara glanced disapprovingly at Hashirama. Hashirama was a man of absolute self-confidence, and one who never respected the weak. Madara could never truly believe Hashirama's excessive idealism, because Hashirama simply didn't trust anyone but himself!

Those ignorant people can be easily manipulated with just a little bit of money or a few persuasion, and they can't tell who is really doing what's best for them.

The people guided by "Hui" do seem to be doing well, but that's because "Hui" is kind enough and has given up enough benefits to lead them onto the right path. But if there were greater benefits, they would not hesitate to abandon the right path, just as they fought for "Hui," they would do everything in their power for those deceitful ghosts.

Hashirama actually wanted him to believe that those people could create a bright future for this world? What a joke! It would be better to believe that "Namikaze Kinrin" could shine upon the world forever, like the true sun! With such a guarantee, their victory wouldn't be taken by others!

"Impossible. You simply don't understand. Those you treat as your subjects can betray you at any time. I will never entrust the possibility of peace to others. Since I can do it myself, why wouldn't I?"

“Brother, we don’t treat them as subjects, but as people…” Izuna was caught in the middle with some helplessness. He felt that his brother’s theory was even more unreliable, but he couldn’t bear to directly criticize him, so he could only weakly correct the error in his understanding.

"What's the difference? Aren't they still being protected by you?" Madara's tone was much gentler when speaking to his younger brother, whom he hadn't seen for even longer, but he had already noticed Izuna's resistance. Admittedly, he was somewhat heartbroken, but... he was prepared to sacrifice his own happiness for the sake of this world.

Before, he didn't want Izuna to return to this hopeless world; now that Izuna is back, it seems he can promise his brother a beautiful, peaceful world where he won't lose his brother again.

Persuading Hashirama was out of the question; both of them were incredibly stubborn and wouldn't back down until they hit a brick wall. But Izuna still wanted to try; he... really didn't want to fight his younger brother.

Didn't they manage to persuade him?

I guessed it would be like this.

Stop making sarcastic remarks and think of a solution!

Unable to persuade him, he had to seek outside help. Hashirama was so anxious that he wanted to start planting mushrooms again, but his younger brother seemed to have expected this and was in a state of complete inaction.

Don't be alarmed, Uncle Hashirama. If you can't convince him, just let him come over.

"Shouldn't we just shut him up forever if we can't reason with him?"

Naruto's comforting words were always so soothing, while the newly joined boy seemed a bit... too radical in comparison.

Izuna was speechless and choked with emotion.

"Madara is just too impatient. His wish is the same as ours!" Hashirama was getting anxious.

Sasuke didn't care whether it was his ancestor or his senior, and continued to retort: ​​"So being in such a hurry gives you a reason to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

The consequences of the Infinite Tsukuyomi are clear and won't change according to his will. Recognizing reality is the fastest way to persuade the Uchiha. Let him come over. Naruto swiftly stepped in to smooth things over. What could he do?

Tobirama, who had been feigning death for so long, finally came to life. "You haven't forgotten the prerequisites for activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi, have you, Naruto?"

"It's just the Ten-Tails reviving, right? Of course I won't forget. Don't worry, the Jinchuriki will be fine."

"What do you mean 'it is'? Are we talking about the same Ten-Tails? That's the Ten-Tails! A monster that almost destroyed this world! At least be a little more serious!" Even though the Jinchūriki has changed, Kurama still got angry.

"Yes, yes, of course I know that's the Ten-Tails, a tough opponent. Alright, alright, even if you don't let him come, does that mean he won't? Let's gather quickly; I think if we're any later, Madara will be defeated."
