Chapter 28: Uploading Memory Fragments

[Ding! Star Forger has uploaded the memory fragment "Naruto".]

[Star Forger]: "Madara, this is a memory related to your world. It's a bit long. You'll appear in the later parts, so you can skip ahead for now."

Kenji uploaded the relevant manga and anime. Both were quite lengthy. Madara's appearance as an Edo Tensei reincarnation didn't happen until the Fourth Great Ninja War in the later stages of the story. The earlier parts didn't mention him much.

If the others wanted to know about their worlds, he could compile the information for them later. It wouldn't cost him anything, and there was no need to act like some all-knowing mystic.

[Ghost of the Uchiha]: "Understood. Thank you."

Madara began to watch. Although he had dealt with Black Zetsu, he wanted to understand the full story, the intricate details of what had happened.

He skimmed through the early plot points. Naruto Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails... just some blond kid who hadn't even been born yet in his time.

When he saw the moment he absorbed the Ten-Tails and gained the power of the Six Paths, Madara let out a signature Uchiha cackle. What magnificent power!

"Omoshiroi."

"Might Guy... the Eight Inner Gates Formation is truly as formidable as they say!"

"In terms of taijutsu, I, Madara, acknowledge you as the strongest."

Seeing himself nearly get one-shotted by Might Guy, Madara didn't fly into a rage. The man with the bowl cut was indeed a worthy opponent, one that made even an old man like him feel a surge of excitement.

"Black Zetsu... damn you! Killing you a thousand times over wouldn't be enough!"

His elation was short-lived. His face instantly darkened when he saw Black Zetsu control Obito's body to literally stab him in the back, and then use him as a vessel for Kaguya's revival. To think that he, the Ghost of the Uchiha, had been taken down by a black-tiger-grabs-the-heart move from that creature... what a profound humiliation.

"Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths..."

Madara's brow furrowed. To be honest, he never expected the Sage of Six Paths to exist in another world in such a form, let alone be able to return to the ninja world. Kaguya's power was a threat, and while her combat experience seemed lacking, her raw power was off the charts for the ninja world. After all, even Naruto and Sasuke, after gaining the power of the Six Paths, couldn't gain the upper hand against her.

According to Kenji, more Ōtsutsuki would come to the ninja world in the future. He clenched his fists. He needed to start saving up points to exchange for a Rejuvenation Potion. Since genjutsu couldn't bring peace to the ninja world, he would have to rely on his fists.

[Star Forger]: "Might Guy's final kick, Night Guy, was off-target. If he had kicked you in the head, it would have been an instant finale. Aiming for the crotch would have been both damaging and humiliating."

[Ghost of the Uchiha]: "..."

A muscle in Madara's cheek twitched violently. Have some decency, kid. That's just vicious. He didn't know if he could regenerate from having his head blown off, even with the power of the Six Paths. But a kick to the crotch... that was just too cruel. That would be a true... ball-buster. If he had to choose between a kick to the head and a kick to the crotch, he would definitely choose the former. At least he could maintain his dignity as a man.

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Mr. Madara, I feel like your world is a bit... morbid. Children as young as a few years old are sent to the battlefield. Isn't that just sending them to their deaths?"

Elysia had watched a part of it and found it completely incomprehensible. Children under the age of 10 were already capable of killing on the battlefield, and it wasn't a rare occurrence. Shouldn't children that age be playing without a care in the world?

[Ghost of the Uchiha]: "I cannot deny that."

Madara fell into thought. He himself had started fighting on the battlefield at a very young age. He never thought much of it back then. Looking at it now, it did seem... abnormal. It seemed that any child with the potential to be a ninja was brought to the battlefield by the adults for "training."

[Lady Justice]: "When the war came, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, just sat in the village and let children go to the battlefield."

Furina was speechless. If another nation were to invade Fontaine, even though she had no power, she wouldn't just sit in the Palais Mermonia and do nothing.

[Star Forger]: "Furina, careful now! Rinnegan warning!"

[Crash-Test Pilot]: "Susanoo warning!"

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Planetary Devastation warning!"

[Ghost of the Uchiha]: "He was the student of the evil Tobirama Senju. Like master, like student."

Madara had no kind words for Tobirama, the man who had killed his brother. If it weren't for Hashirama, he would have long since ground the inherently evil Tobirama to dust. The Konoha he and Hashirama had built... it was rotten to the core. He hadn't noticed it before, but looking at it now, it was unbearable to watch.

[Star Forger]: "Madara, what are your plans now?"

[Ghost of the Uchiha]: "Although the Eye of the Moon Plan was a lie, I will still bring peace to the ninja world through other means. For now, I will save up points and deal with this aged body of mine."

[Star Forger]: "I have a method for you that's faster than saving up points. You can use your ocular jutsu to permanently control a suitable puppet. Then, you commit suicide. Have the controlled puppet learn and use Edo Tensei to resurrect your younger self. Finally, use the Rinnegan to perform Rinne Rebirth."

[Miss Pink Elf♪]: "Kenji, are you playing with nesting dolls?!"

[Star Forger]: "The Sharingan supports hot-swapping, doesn't it? The whole process is just a little complicated."

[Ghost of the Uchiha]: "It's a viable method..."

Madara's mouth twitched, and his ripple-patterned Rinnegan swirled. However, this method had significant drawbacks. One misstep could lead to an accident, like his soul not being able to return from the Pure Land. After all, that old fox, the Sage of Six Paths, was in the Pure Land. So, it was better to just save up points. It might be slow, but it was safe. He could still hang on for a long time with the Gedo Statue. He wouldn't die of old age before he had saved up enough points.

[Star Forger]: "Furina, have you heard any news about a blond-haired traveler over there?"

[Lady Justice]: "A blond-haired traveler? Never heard of them."

It seemed the plot hadn't started yet.

[Star Forger]: "How is the dragon disaster in Mondstadt?"

[Lady Justice]: "The dragon disaster in Mondstadt is indeed not over. Fontaine sent some supplies over half a month ago."

While Furina was more concerned with Fontaine's affairs, she still collected a lot of intelligence on other nations. She couldn't possibly be unaware of a major event like the dragon disaster in Mondstadt, but all she could do was provide some humanitarian aid.

[Star Forger]: "Let me know when you hear any news about the traveler, Furina."

**[Lady Justice]:... I will."

Furina pondered this. That blond-haired traveler must be a rather special existence for Teyvat. She would have her people keep an eye out for them.
