Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 366 Tobirama: Added Some Good Things

A few minutes later, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha appeared in the bathroom of the cabin, facing each other and taking a shower.

This bathroom is cleverly designed, almost like a squat toilet in a game, with two showerheads inexplicably installed on opposite sides of the wall.

It seemed as if it was deliberately prepared for the two of them.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha did not engage in any "romantic bath".

As mentioned before, in the Impure World Reincarnation, clothes are part of the body. Even if the clothes are torn, they will be reassembled onto the body due to the characteristics of Impure World Reincarnation.

So the two of them were actually standing there wearing armor.

It's less of a bath and more of a rinse.

During the cleansing process, Hashirama Senju began to persuade Madara to abandon his plan for Infinite Tsukuyomi.

"You actually know this word? Did another version of me tell you, or...?"

"No, Madara, do you know that?"

What you see on the stone tablet has all been altered. You keep saying I'm naive, but you're the most naive one, easily believing others!

"Stop, Madara, the area outside is full of Otsutsuki."

Hashirama Senju patiently and earnestly advised him.

"Modified? Who modified it?"

"Black Zetsu".

"...What a joke! Black Zetsu is a product of my creation. How could it possibly go back to before I created it and modify the stone tablet?"

"Because you didn't create it at all; Kaguya Otsutsuki created it. You're just a tool for it to resurrect its mother!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Unless you let Black Zetsu confront me face to face!"

"..."

At this point, Madara finally revealed his true purpose.

—Try to trick Hashirama into helping you contact Black Zetsu or Obito.

As for what Hashirama said, Madara listened to it, but he didn't believe it at all.

After all, if he could fool Hashirama, he could fool others too.

"Black Zetsu has been cooperating with us for a long time, but something started to go wrong after the last Otsutsuki incident. He hasn't appeared for a long time now, it seems like he's gone."

Hashirama didn't have a deep understanding of Black Zetsu's situation; he had only vaguely heard about similar circumstances.

Black Zetsu is gone?

Ban felt like he was about to laugh out loud in anger.

"Hassi Hot Mom, you actually tried to deceive me?"

Ban opened his mouth and questioned.

Black Zetsu is a product of his Yin-Yang Release, an embodiment of his will. How could he possibly cooperate with a fool like Hashirama?

And what's with the "maybe gone" part?

If it's gone, it's gone; it might even be gone.

This ambiguous vocabulary is clearly a flaw revealed by Hashirama, an honest man who is not good at lying, in an attempt to deceive him.

"I really didn't lie to you, Madara, you have to believe me!"

Hashirama looked aggrieved.

He was telling the truth, so why didn't Ban believe him?

"Hassi Hot Mom, you're really bad at lying. You'd better just honestly call Black Zetsu over for me. I'll give him a few instructions, and then I'll slowly help you with whatever you want to do."

Madara Uchiha's tone carried a hint of seduction.

"I'm not good at lying, but Madara, you still fell for my trick in the Valley of the End, and then I stabbed you to death."

"..."

"You prepared for Izanagi's feigned death to escape, which shows that you already knew deep down that you were no match for me, right? Otherwise, given your personality, why would you make such a preparation?"

"..."

Madara Uchiha was surprised that Hashirama even knew this.

When faced with the first question, he almost blurted out that he had faked his death.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and swallowed his words.

Little did I expect that Hashirama already knew.

And listen to these words.

Is this something an honest person would say?

This person is clearly cunning and scheming.

White on the outside, black on the inside!

"Madara, just give up. You've already alienated everyone again—wait, why did I say 'again'?"

Hashirama wore a feigned ignorance expression.

"..."

Why did you say that? Don't you have any self-awareness?

"In short, Madara, it's no use talking to anyone. Even if Black Zetsu is still alive, he represents the will of Kaguya Otsutsuki and will not listen to you at all."

And that masked man, he won't help you at all; he's just using your name to make things easier for him.

He wanted to become the second Sage of Six Paths!

As for the White Zetsu, needless to say, they used to listen to the Black Zetsu, but now they all listen to the White Ink.

And the Rinnegan you left behind.

Didn't you notice that Nagato was there?

That child has completely mastered your Rinnegan; he can even use Limbo.

You have no allies left, only me as your closest friend.

We're all dead, and I've let go of all the hatred from the past. Why can't you let go?

Do you really think you can take back everything you have now with this body?

How much effort did it take you to kill those bandits?

"Your current body, reborn from the dead, is barely able to get into bed. Stop thinking about these things. Just enjoy the feeling of seeing the light of day again, and entrust everything to future generations, okay?"

Hashirama Senju used all his knowledge and skills to persuade Madara Uchiha with this long speech.

However, these words did have some effect.

Madara Uchiha wanted to raise questions, but he didn't expect that Hashirama knew everything.

He even knew about the Rinnegan and how he transplanted it to Nagato!

As for Nagato being at the scene just now?

Sorry, I really didn't notice that.

Firstly, his perception is now extremely poor, practically nonexistent.

Secondly, as soon as he opened his eyes, all he could see were Hashirama and Tobirama.

Thirdly, when he wanted to see the others, Hashirama had already sprayed him with his own words, blocking his view.

Just as Madara Uchiha remained silent, pondering the credibility of what Hashirama Senju had just said, he suddenly noticed a change in his body.

Originally, after his sensory abilities were rendered useless, Madara Uchiha was completely unable to sense any changes in his reanimated body.

I was covered in the thesis defense material and it took me ages to realize it.

but now……

He actually felt a sensation of "heat".

He was taking a shower and washing himself; if he were alive, it would be perfectly normal for him to feel "hot".

But he was clearly resurrected through Edo Tensei, so he shouldn't have any feelings!

"Hasshi Hot Mom, what on earth did Tobirama do to my Edo Tensei body?! What did he put inside me?!!"

Madara Uchiha reached out a trembling hand and pressed it against Hashirama's shoulder, his eyes filled with anger and despair as he stared at him.

"No, Tobirama promised me that he would never lay a hand on you after he was resurrected."

Hashirama was also dumbfounded.

For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether Ban had really had an accident or was just acting.

Seeing Madara's pained expression, Hashirama rushed out of the bathroom, found a communication device in the corridor, and quickly contacted the laboratory, where he found his younger brother, Tobirama.

"Tobirama, what exactly are you...?"

"Sister drug, I added sister drug."

Before his elder brother could ask a question, Tobirama interrupted him and gave the answer.

"Tobirama, you're kidding me! This kind of thing is useless against reanimated bodies. What is it anyway?!"

Hashirama was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
