Chapter 352 - 350 Uchiha Madara clenched his fists tightly

Ran Do paused here, seemingly giving Uchiha Madara time to think, then continued, "So, why did the Six Paths Sage leave behind a stone tablet stating that activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi would bring peace to the Ninja World? He sealed and imprisoned his own mother within the Gedo Statue, and then left a stone tablet for future generations. Haven't you ever doubted any of this?"

"From the very beginning, wasn't the Infinite Tsukuyomi meant to bring peace to the Ninja World?"

Uchiha Madara clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, blood trickling down between his fingers.

He struggled to suppress the rage in his heart. What did all his lifelong convictions and struggles amount to?

He had wanted to prove to Hashirama that he was right, but it turned out he had been manipulated from beginning to end!

"If my speculation is correct, the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi is just a lie to make you a cage to eternally imprison the Rabbit Goddess! Why did the ancestors of the Uchiha and Senju, who once loved each other like brothers, turn into bitter enemies?"

Ran Do's deductions were based on her own analysis of information, combined with Black Zetsu's slandering remarks about the Six Paths Sage. She said all this purely to make Uchiha Madara abandon the Eye of the Moon Plan.

If this old man were to activate his Susanoo, run around the Ninja World, and unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi, all her efforts would be utterly wasted.

"Old man, you once mentioned Izuna. How much you loved Izuna, I don't need to elaborate, do I? So, why did the ancestor of the Uchiha hate his brother so much?"

Ran Do looked at Uchiha Madara, all her words guiding him to a single conclusion.

That the Six Paths Sage deliberately caused the ancestors of the Uchiha and Senju to become enemies, and only he, as their father, could easily achieve this.

Six Paths Sage, please don't blame me!

For the future of the Ninja World, I'll just have to inconvenience you a little!

Ran Do seemed to see the Six Paths Sage's approving smile. Sacrificing a little for the Ninja World, he would surely be very, very willing.

And he certainly wouldn't mind taking on a few more scapegoats.

At the same time, in a temple deep within Ryūchi Cave, the White Snake Sage, who was lying on a chaise lounge smoking, nearly choked on her smoke.

Absurd, truly absurd.

She had never seen anyone analyze so much. Just when she was about to reach the correct conclusion, she veered off in a completely different direction.

Good heavens, the Six Paths Sage had become a villain!

The White Snake Sage tried to suppress the urge to burst out laughing. Laughing at a time like this would be too impolite.

In the Laboratory, Uchiha Madara remained silent for a long time, muttering, "Why? Why would the Six Paths Sage do that? Why would he make his sons fight each other?"

"The answer is obvious: it was to bring about your birth a thousand years later! Old man, your Rinnegan is the most important thing. Once you awakened the Rinnegan, you would be qualified to become the cage to imprison the Rabbit Goddess!"

Ran Do pointed at Uchiha Madara. Though her voice wasn't loud, every word was like a heavy hammer striking Uchiha Madara's heart and soul!

It could be like this!

Black Zetsu was dumbfounded. It had thought Uchiha Madara would immediately proceed with the Eye of the Moon Plan. Anyway, it didn't care; as long as Uchiha Madara executed the Eye of the Moon Plan, it would always have a chance to reveal its true intentions to him.

But it had never imagined that Ran Do would reach such a conclusion based on what it had said earlier!

She actually managed to persuade Uchiha Madara to abandon the Eye of the Moon Plan!

In a sense, the conclusion she reached was still correct; it was indeed Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura who sealed its mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

"Ran Do, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Uchiha Madara felt that all his lifelong convictions had become a joke. He wanted to be the savior of the Ninja World, but being used by the Six Paths Sage made him feel like an utterly ridiculous clown.

"You never cared what I found in the flesh of the Gedo Statue. You only cared if your life, which was nearing its end, could be extended."

Ran Do didn't think she had an obligation to inform Uchiha Madara of this beforehand.

"Old man, don't forget, this was our agreement. I promised you I would research Hashirama cells to extend your life, and I have fulfilled our agreement. Whether you proceed with the Eye of the Moon Plan now is your own business."

Ran Do's tone carried a hint of displeasure.

"Eye of the Moon Plan? Does that plan still have any value in being executed?"

Uchiha Madara gave a self-deprecating laugh. He thought it would be better for him to just die of old age.

"The value is that you become the cage to imprison the Rabbit Goddess."

Ran Do manipulated the instruments, her peripheral vision watching the heartbroken and listless Uchiha Madara, who seemed to have become an empty shell named Uchiha Madara.

This reminded her of Uchiha Madara in the original story, who was spat out when Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was sealed again.

His current expression was very similar to Uchiha Madara's in the original story.

"If you are willing to wait, why not wait for me to research a method to rescue the Rabbit Goddess from the Gedo Statue? That way, we can understand the true truth, not a truth pieced together from fragments."

Ran Do turned around, looked at Uchiha Madara, and continued, "In your current state, even if you die, what face would you have to meet Senju Hashirama? To tell him how much of a failure the Eye of the Moon Plan you always believed in was? That would make Senju Tobirama laugh his head off! I remember you hated Senju Tobirama so much you wished to kill him as quickly as possible."

"Make Senju Tobirama laugh his head off…" This phrase replayed in Uchiha Madara's mind. Thinking of Senju Tobirama's irritating face, he suddenly didn't want to die so much.

Back then, when Izuna died, if he hadn't been unable to defeat Hashirama, he would have long since killed Senju Tobirama to be buried with Izuna.

"Ran Do, then let me see if your research can truly uncover the truth, whether the Infinite Tsukuyomi is truly the ultimate genjutsu that can bring peace to the Ninja World, or a conspiracy of the Six Paths Sage."

Uchiha Madara felt that continued waiting was worthwhile, and now he had enough time to spare.

Finally, she managed to trick him… Ran Do wasn't entirely tricking Uchiha Madara. Assuming she didn't know about Black Zetsu's conspiracy in the original story, what she said was all the information they currently had.

This woman, Ran Do… she's too dangerous… Black Zetsu became even more determined to kill her after she separated its mother from the Gedo Statue.

This terrifying woman must not be allowed to live!
