In the dark underground base, Uchiha Madara's eyes glowed with fire. He really wanted to punch Lin Yu twice right now. How dare he toy with me, Uchiha Madara?!
Lin Yu didn't care and continued, "Not only that, but I also know that the content on that stone tablet is fake!"
Uchiha Madara's expression changed, and he exclaimed in shock, "Impossible! That was left by the Sage of Six Paths..."
Lin Yu coughed and said, "Now it's my turn to tell you a story, a story about a woman who came to the ninja world and planted trees..."
After a long while, Lin Yu took a sip of water to moisten his throat: "That's roughly the story. Indra and Asura's chakra has been reincarnating continuously, searching for inheritors, and the inheritors would start this cycle of grudges and love. It continued until your appearance and Hashirama's. You should know the rest very well."
Uchiha Madara remained silent for a long time, his chest heaving. He never expected that the dream he had worked towards for decades was a scam! A naked scam!
There was no such thing as an infinite Tsukuyomi and a perfect world!
Alas!
Uchiha Madara reopened his eyes and said slowly, "Is this the truth?"
"Huh?"
This time, it puzzled Lin Yu. Shouldn't Uchiha Madara be angry, disbelieving, and try to kill Black Zetsu? Why did he seem so relieved? Something was wrong!
"Is that your attitude?"
Uchiha Madara raised his eyes impatiently, "What else do you expect me to do? What can I do in my current state?"
Uchiha Madara lowered his head and stared at his wrinkled hands, lost in thought. If he had known the truth in his prime, he might have done what Lin Yu expected. But now... it didn't matter anymore.
His plan had already failed. What was the point of discussing the truth? It was just that he could no longer show Hashirama a world filled with beauty and peace. It was truly regrettable.
Lin Yu felt a bit helpless and indignant, "Then you have nothing else to say?"
Uchiha Madara remained silent for a long time before speaking, "How did you know about my plan?"
Uchiha Madara wanted to know why Lin Yu could always make arrangements in advance, whether it was with Nagato or with Obito.
If his guess was correct, Lin Yu must have transferred his Time-Space Ninjutsu into Obito's eyes using a Copy Ninja Seal, and set it to trigger automatically when he saw something or a certain situation.
In other words, even if he, Uchiha Madara, had successfully deceived Obito, he had already lost the moment he stepped into that barrier. Uzumaki Lin Yu could infinitely change time, rewind and restart it to achieve the desired outcome.
Perhaps even his current memories were the result of Uzumaki Lin Yu restarting countless times. Uchiha Madara felt a surge of emotion. The power of time-based ninjutsu was terrifying!
Lin Yu didn't know that Uchiha Madara was thinking so much. His Rinnegan had a time limit, lasting at most a little over an hour. However, as Uchiha Madara guessed, he had indeed transferred the Rinnegan's ninjutsu into Obito's eyes. This was his strongest trump card in case of a fallback!
However, the Time-Space Barrier could only reverse or accelerate targets within the barrier, and the maximum reversal of time was to the moment the barrier was formed.
Therefore, the conditions set for the Copy Ninja Seal had to be precise. It had to trigger the moment Obito saw the Immortal Fire, not after Obito saw Kakashi die, as that would be too late.
And if Kakashi was dismembered or his body was smashed, then even Reanimation wouldn't be able to revive Kakashi. He would have to wait for the Impure World Reincarnation and be revived with others in the future. Wouldn't that force Obito to switch sides!
At this moment, Lin Yu also realized that his Rinnegan ninjutsu was not that overpowered. However, if he could evolve it to six tomoe, nine tomoe... or fuse it with other eyes, would he be able to gain even stronger ninjutsu!
Lin Yu's ultimate goal had always been the Otsutsuki clan, the beings from beyond the heavens. As long as they didn't provoke him, Lin Yu could ignore Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu, or the various nations in the ninja world.
After all, without reaching Six Paths level, they would be defenseless against members of the Otsutsuki clan. Lin Yu could at most defeat a servant like Kinshiki right now.
However, members of the Otsutsuki clan were generally at Six Paths level power. If they ate the fruit of the Divine Tree, like Kaguya, they would be absolute Bloodline Supremacy.
Lin Yu's current strength was at most below Six Paths, on par with Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama in their prime. If he could master Senjutsu chakra and enhance the power of Wood Style, he could become the strongest below Six Paths!
"Hey! Are you listening to me?!"
Uchiha Madara glared at Lin Yu, who was spacing out and ignoring him, feeling a surge of anger. He really wanted to chop off his head with his scythe!
How dare you ignore me, Lord Madara!
Lin Yu snapped back to attention, scratched his head, and replied, "Yes! Everything you say is right!"
"You...!"
Uchiha Madara was speechless and said, "I asked you, how did you know about my plan!"
"Well... guess?"
"Get lost!"
Uchiha Madara was so angry that he was panting, grabbed the scythe behind him, and swung it.
"Hey, hey, no guessing if you don't want to, but why are you hitting me!"
Lin Yu dodged and brushed off the dust, "How about it, do you acknowledge my strength now? Shouldn't you give me a title!"
"Title?"
Uchiha Madara was confused, "Why should I give you a title? Have you seen my prime?"
Uchiha Madara inwardly acknowledged that Lin Yu was qualified to fight him. However, if Lin Yu claimed to be able to defeat him in his prime, he would definitely disagree.
After all, if he could revive in the future... with Hashirama's cells combined with the Rinnegan, Uzumaki Lin Yu would only be beaten down by him!
Lin Yu was a little anxious. Uchiha Madara was about to die. If he didn't pressure him now while his spirit was weak, it would be even harder when Madara regained his prime!
"How about just giving me any title. After all, I defeated you and Nagato together!"
Uchiha Madara coldly turned his face away, "Boring!"
"Hmph."
Lin Yu suppressed the urge to resort to force. For this incredibly proud Madara, if you used force? He wouldn't compromise even if you beat him to death!
Lin Yu was in a bad mood, frowned, and said, "Come out! You've been eavesdropping for so long, do you want me to seal you!"
A dark, lumpy thing that was about to escape was caught by a giant golden hand and thrown between the two of them.
Lin Yu said slowly, "If you run again, I'll seal you with Chibaku Tensei."
Seeing the situation was dire, Black Zetsu quickly said to Uchiha Madara, "Lord Madara, what Uzumaki Lin Yu just said were all lies. You know how I am. Haven't you experienced it all these years?"
Uchiha Madara ignored Black Zetsu, the weakling. He wouldn't understand that at their level of power, they disdained lying. Only those without strength would resort to schemes and tricks!
Black Zetsu saw that Uchiha Madara was ignoring him, turned to Lin Yu, and exclaimed, "Uzumaki Lin Yu, you can't kill me! Even if you seal me, I can still break free after you die. You can't stop me from rescuing Mother!"
Lin Yu's gaze fell on Tobi, who was hiding in the corner and eavesdropping. He said slowly, "Who says death is the most terrifying thing..."
At this moment, Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu simultaneously shivered. They looked at Tobi, who was scratching his head, and a chill ran down their spines...
