Chapter 131 The Bet
Chapter 131 The Bet
Madara Uchiha smiled calmly, believing he knew everything.
His smile left Tetsuya completely bewildered.
What's going on? Did they overstimulate him and Old Man Spot go crazy?
This can't be right. How could a dignified Asura of the Ninja World be so angry with himself?
Just as Tetsuya was wondering, Madara Uchiha spoke up.
"I already know."
"No, Old Man, what do you know?"
Madara Uchiha said with great confidence.
"You must be an Uchiha who was brought along with the Uchiha clan."
"what?"
Tetsuya was full of questions. He couldn't understand what Madara Uchiha was thinking.
However, Madara Uchiha continued speaking.
"I think you must be an Uchiha who was abandoned by the Uchiha clan. Because you were abandoned by the clan, you denied your Uchiha clan identity. Also, because you hated those who abandoned you, you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, right?"
"What a pitiful child. After being abandoned by your tribe, you thought of me, who abandoned all of them back then, so you came here to see me, didn't you?"
"I......"
Tetsuya's CPU was almost burning out; he had no idea what Madara Uchiha was up to.
"The reason you know so much is probably because after you awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, you returned to the Uchiha clan's territory. You must have seen the contents of that stone tablet."
After thinking for a long time, Tetsuya finally managed to roughly figure out Madara Uchiha's thought process.
Judging from the situation, he probably identified himself as an Uchiha who had been abandoned by his clan, and then by chance, he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and saw the contents of the stone tablet.
That's why they came to find Uchiha Madara. They were definitely looking for cooperation, but due to the proud nature of the Uchiha clan, they wouldn't say it directly even if they wanted to cooperate. Instead, they used a clumsy question-and-answer approach to tell him that they knew a lot of things and hoped that he would take them along when he did something.
Even the way he addressed himself changed from "little devil" to "poor child".
Keep in mind that he never called Obito that, after all, in his eyes, Obito was just a pawn.
He himself was a genius Uchiha, an Uchiha like him, abandoned by his entire clan. And, like him, he had seen through the secrets inscribed on the stone tablet.
This is equivalent to Tetsuya experiencing part of Madara Uchiha's past.
What are your thoughts on Infinite Tsukuyomi?
Madara Uchiha suddenly asked Tetsuya for his opinion on the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"That's not right, Old Man. According to the rules of the game, it should be my turn to ask the question now."
"Alright, go ahead and ask, Afei."
"..."
Tetsuya paused for a moment before speaking.
"Old man, why are you so sure that what's written on the stone tablet is true? Is it possible that the content on the stone tablet has been altered?"
"Heh, they're really on guard."
Regarding Tetsuya's doubts.
"However, I admire your vigilance. I had my doubts about the contents of the stone tablet before, but the possibility of it being a forgery is not very high. After all, only the Mangekyou Sharingan of our Uchiha clan can see the contents on it."
The person who left these contents must be an ancestor of our Uchiha clan. Since he was our ancestor, how could he possibly harm us?
Furthermore, I have verified part of the content on the stone tablet, which proves that the content on the stone tablet could not be a forgery.
Seeing Madara Uchiha's confident demeanor, Tetsuya couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Sigh, he's done for. This Uchiha Madara is beyond saving."
This is the highest level of deception: weaving a lie into the truth. This kind of deception is the hardest to expose.
Most of the information recorded on the stone tablet left by the Uchiha clan is true, but Black Zetsu rewrote some parts of it.
Now that Madara Uchiha has verified some of the contents, he believes that everything recorded on the stone tablet is true.
After all, these are things I've verified myself, so how could they be wrong?
"Alright, now it's your turn to answer my question, Fei. What's your opinion on Infinite Tsukuyomi?"
"Oh? What else can you look at? Of course, you shouldn't look at it. Infinite Tsukuyomi is just a genjutsu. Even if you pull everyone in the ninja world into the genjutsu, you can't change reality."
"How is that possible? The stone tablet clearly states that as long as the Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated, it can bring about a revolution in the ninja world."
"What else could it be? Someone tampered with part of the content above. An illusion is an illusion. No matter how large an illusion is, it can never become real."
"you!"
"Alright, old man, it seems our conversation has to end here."
Zhe didn't plan to continue any longer, since continuing would be pointless.
"Go ahead and keep dreaming about your infinite Tsukuyomi. For someone like you, dreaming about infinite Tsukuyomi is fine too."
If you can't face reality, then continue living in your beautiful dream. The truth of this ninja world means nothing to you.
"Heh! You little brat, what truth do you know!"
"Yeah, I know more than you. At least I know that the Sage of Six Paths and the legendary Goddess of the Rabbit are just aliens from the depths of the universe."
And you, you can only possess the Rinnegan, a bloodline reversion to your ancestral form, and rely on collecting the power of the fragmented Divine Tree to become the so-called Sage of Six Paths.
"Impossible! How could the Sage of Six Paths be some kind of alien?! The Rinnegan is the eyes of a sage, the manifestation of my reaching the threshold of the Six Paths, how could it possibly be a bloodline atonement? Cough cough cough—!"
After saying this, the aging Madara Uchiha coughed violently due to excessive emotional excitement.
"Look at you, you're in such a hurry. What's the use of being anxious?"
"You, you bastard!"
Tetsuya thought for a moment, and finally spoke.
"How about this? I predict that in another ten years or so, an alien will appear. When that time comes, I'll resurrect you and let you see what that alien is like."
"You resurrected me?"
Madara Uchiha, who was initially furious, calmed down immediately when he heard Tetsuya say that he had been resurrected.
"That's right, I can resurrect you."
After composing himself, Tetsuya continued.
"How about this, let's make a bet between the two of us."
I will resurrect you when that alien appears more than ten years later, so you can witness for yourself whether I lied to you or not.
If everything I've said is true, you'll work for me just like your brother.
If everything I've said is false, then I'll let you go. Whatever plans you want to carry out then, I won't care.
Madara Uchiha thought about it carefully and finally nodded.
"Okay, I accept your bet."
