Free Web NovelChapter 596: Chapter 596: Crossing Again
"No, Madara-sama!"
Seeing this, Renya hurriedly grabbed Uchiha Madara’s hand that was about to form hand seals.
They had only just encountered a reckless bounty hunter on the road. If Edo Tensei were released now, where in these desolate mountains would they find a new sacrifice?
"Let go of me." Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning unfriendly.
Ever since this brat killed him back then, he had become more and more reckless.
He still hadn’t settled the matter of Renya beating up his younger self.
And yet this brat dared to provoke him first...
Although he was currently in an Edo Tensei body and far weaker than in life, it was still enough to exchange a few moves with this brat.
Renya immediately released his hand and said awkwardly,
"Madara-sama, please listen to my explanation first..."
"Don’t you want to realize the ’Eye of the Moon’ Plan? Since neither of us can convince the other, why don’t we go to the future together and see whether the so-called ’Eye of the Moon’ Plan truly becomes what you claim."
Uchiha Madara’s eyes flickered. He was clearly interested in what Renya said, though his expression remained unchanged.
If he could travel to the future and witness a peaceful shinobi world in advance, that would not be a bad choice.
As long as this brat saw it with his own eyes, he would no longer try to stop him.
Perhaps Renya would even help him carry out the plan.
Renya was thinking the same thing.
As long as Madara learned that the ’Eye of the Moon’ Plan was merely Black Zetsu’s conspiracy to rescue his mother,
then he would surely abandon this unrealistic plan.
After that, he would honestly release Edo Tensei and stop fantasizing about impossible peace in the shinobi world.
That way, Renya would no longer need to worry about Uchiha Madara making a comeback.
Without Madara’s help, Black Zetsu would never be able to revive Ōtsutsuki Kaguya!
Hehehe... he was simply a genius!
Black Zetsu, secretly following them, could hardly suppress his excitement.
"The chef is simply a genius!"
As long as it followed the chef through the Dragon Vein’s time travel, it could find the future mother it had successfully rescued.
Then it could ask future Mother to return to the present and save the Mother sealed in this timeline.
If it had realized this sooner, there would have been no need for Uchiha Madara at all.
Mother would already be lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, enjoying all kinds of delicious dishes made by the chef at mealtime.
Being together with his beloved mother—that was true happiness!
Even Infinite Tsukuyomi could hardly compare.
As for Tobi, he was already impatient to see another version of himself from a different timeline.
Black Zetsu kept a gloomy face all day and refused to talk to him.
And with Madara and Renya-sama not around, he had nearly died of boredom alone.
"Madara-sama, what do you think of my idea?"
Facing Renya’s perfect proposal, Uchiha Madara naturally had no reason to refuse.
Pretending to think for a moment, he slowly nodded and said in a deep voice,
"I think your idea is good. I can follow you to the future."
Once this brat saw that his future self had completed the ’Eye of the Moon’ Plan and brought true peace to the decaying shinobi world,
he would realize how foolish it was to try to stop him.
"Then let’s depart right now!" Renya said with a bright smile.
When Uchiha Madara saw that his future self was merely a pawn used by Black Zetsu to revive Mother, he would finally understand how foolish all his schemes had been.
Shimura Danzō looked at Renya’s happy expression and slightly curled his lips.
If his good friend thought it meaningful, then he would go along as well.
As long as he could stay with Renya, whether basking in the sun inside the village or traveling to another timeline did not matter.
What mattered was not the place, but the person...
"Hurry up, I can’t wait to see Mother!"
Seeing Renya and the others depart, Black Zetsu immediately called for Tobi to follow.
Although the mother he was about to meet was not from this timeline, Mother from another timeline was still his mother.
At this moment, Black Zetsu was nothing more than a child desperate to see his mother.
Along the way, everyone harbored their own thoughts.
Only Tobi looked completely confused.
Why did everyone believe the future ’Eye of the Moon’ Plan would definitely succeed?
The future hadn’t even happened yet...
Take this timeline for example—Madara had already been killed by Renya.
Whether the ’Eye of the Moon’ Plan could ever be realized remained unknown.
So why was everyone convinced it would certainly succeed?
Even Renya, who opposed Madara, thought the same way.
Strange. Truly strange.
...
Several days later, Rōran.
"You’re here again?!"
The Queen of Rōran looked speechlessly at Renya and Danzō standing before the palace, as well as the man behind them who clearly looked extremely dangerous.
Three years had passed since their last visit, and now they had returned again—most likely intending to use the Dragon Vein’s power to travel through time once more.
The Dragon Vein’s power was extremely dangerous; the slightest mistake could cause massive casualties.
Yet these people seemed completely unconcerned about its terror...
"Your Majesty, we’ve come to ask for your help," Shimura Danzō said.
Queen of Rōran: "..."
Just as she expected—whenever they came here, it never meant anything good.
Well, Rōran was protected by Konoha after all.
Since a former Hokage had personally asked, she had no reason to refuse.
With their strength, they probably wouldn’t encounter danger.
After all, they already had experience with time travel.
"Please follow me."
The Queen of Rōran led the three to the top floor. After reminding them repeatedly, she released the seal on the Dragon Vein.
Just like last time, the violent Dragon Vein energy tore open the barrier of space.
Entering it allowed one to travel through time.
Uchiha Madara stared at the glowing sphere before him with great interest. So this was what Renya had used to travel to the Warring States Period?
Interesting...
He truly looked forward to witnessing his future self bringing peace to the shinobi world!
Without hesitation, the three stepped directly inside.
Seeing this, the Queen of Rōran immediately prepared to seal the Dragon Vein again, preventing the violent energy from running wild.
What she did not notice was that one white figure and one black figure also slipped inside.
"Mother, I’m coming!" freeweɓnovel.cøm
After sealing the Dragon Vein, the Queen of Rōran seemed to hear someone speaking.
But when she looked around, no one was there.
She shook her head. It seemed she hadn’t rested well lately and was hearing things.
The time destinations reached through the Dragon Vein were completely random.
In truth, Renya had no idea which era he would arrive in. However, by using the Dragon Vein repeatedly, he would eventually reach the time of the Fourth Great Ninja War.
It was only a matter of time.
"Where is this place?"
Uchiha Madara looked around and frowned slightly.
Having just learned that Dragon Vein travel was entirely random, he was eager to determine which timeline they had entered.
He wondered whether the version of himself in this timeline had already completed the ’Eye of the Moon’ Plan.
"Madara-sama, don’t worry. I’ll find someone to ask right away."
At that moment, a sudden series of explosive tag detonations sounded in the distance.
The three of them simultaneously turned toward the direction of the explosions.
