Chapter 500: Madara, Long Time No See

Hand over the Nine-Tailed Chakra, don't make futile resistance.

At the Hashirama Residence, Madara Uchiha looked toward the few members of Zhi Cun Tuan Cang blocking the doorway and said in a deep voice.

"With us here, don't even think of going after Mito!" Zhi Cun Tuan Cang snorted.

They all knew in their hearts that Madara's appearance here meant Lian Ye and Teacher Feijian had already been defeated.

Now only they can protect Mito's safety!

"Everyone, charge together to stop Madara Uchiha!"

"Since that's the case, I can only deal with you first."

Madara Uchiha's gaze hardened, and the purple light of his Rinnegan flashed and vanished.

Immediately after, the few who had just prepared to advance were instantly struck in vital points by an unseen shadow.

"Damn, we can't let him succeed!"

Zhi Cun Tuan Cang endured the excruciating pain in his abdomen and kept launching attacks at him.

Noisy.

Madara Uchiha raised his hand, and a powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted.

The group that had just gotten up at the doorway was instantly hurled by the massive impact and slammed heavily against the wall.

The great gate of Senju Hashirama's house was flattened under the divine celestial assault, revealing the courtyard scene.

Senju Hashirama and Xuanwo Mizuto fought side by side, their gazes simultaneously landing on Madara Uchiha at the doorway.

"Madara, long time no see."

Senju Hashirama, seeing his friend who had broken through the door, forced out a faint smile.

After several decades, the friend attacked Konoha again.

But he no longer had the strength to stop it.

"Indeed, long time no see." Madara Uchiha said to the two: "Will you hand over the Nine-Tailed Chakra?"

Although he hadn't seen his friend for a long time, he knew now was not the time for reminiscing.

Collecting the Nine-Tailed Chakra was his purpose for coming.

"Madara, can we have a proper talk?"

Senju Hashirama tried to persuade his friend to abandon the Moon's Eye plan using Mouth Ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, Madara Uchiha didn't buy it.

"There's no need for us to converse; as long as you hand over part of the Nine-Tailed Chakra, I will depart on my own…"

If it weren't for the fact that Senju Hashirama and Xuanwo Mizuto were acquaintances, he would have already summoned the Outsider Demon Statue and forcibly absorbed the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Why waste words here?

"I hope you will voluntarily hand over the Nine-Tailed Chakra, otherwise I'll have to step in personally."

Madara Uchiha said to the two, his tone unmistakably laced with danger.

Xuanwo Mizuto looked at the fallen Zhi Cun Tuan Cang and his companions on the ground, then glanced at the cold-faced Madara Uchiha.

After a moment of silence, she nodded.

"Madara, I am willing to hand over the Nine-Tailed Chakra; please leave Konoha immediately after obtaining it."

Konoha Village is not Madara's opponent; further resistance would be meaningless.

It would be better to follow his suggestion and hand over the Nine-Tailed Chakra within the body.

Sealed Space.

The Nine-Tails saw Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, its nine tails stood up, and its whole body bristled.

"Damn, damn! Why does Madara Uchiha have those eyes!"

"Woman, you can't agree to him!"

It was on the verge of crying, preferring to stay imprisoned in the Sealed Space rather than return to the Ten-Tails body.

In the Sealed Space it still retained consciousness; if absorbed by the Outsider Demon Statue, it would be nothing!

Xuanwo Mizuto ignored the Nine-Tails' roar and voluntarily released several seals within its body.

Normally, upon detecting a loosened seal, the Nine-Tails would try every possible way to break free.

But this time, it honestly lay in the Sealed Space, pretending not to see the opened iron door.

What a joke, stepping out would be certain death.

"Not a bad choice."

Madara Uchiha, seeing Xuanwo Mizuto abandon resistance, nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately after, he formed a hand seal with both hands and summoned the Outsider Demon Statue.

"I will only extract half of the Nine-Tails, and will not endanger your life."

Since he promised Xuanwo Mizuto, he naturally would not let danger arise.

Anyway, she is Senju Hashirama's wife.

Xuanwo Mizuto nodded, allowing the Lock Chain from the Outsider Demon Statue's mouth to enter its abdomen.

At this moment, within the Sealed Space.

The Nine-Tails looked at the suddenly appearing several Lock Chains, and its face instantly showed a fearful expression.

It hurriedly got up to dodge, but the Sealed Space was too small; its massive body found each dodge extremely difficult.

Soon the Nine-Tails was ensnared by the Lock Chains like a dog, the chains wrapped around its neck.

"No, no, I don't want to go out!"

But unlike what it imagined, not its whole body was dragged out.

Instead, under the pull of the chains, the Nine-Tails' body was split in two.

One half of the Yin Nine‑Tails was dragged away, leaving the remaining half of the Yang Nine‑Tails showing a post‑disaster survivor expression.

"The other me, thank you for your trouble."

At this moment, the Yin Nine‑Tails dragged out of the Sealed Space: "……"

No matter how it struggled, it was of no use; it turned directly into a mass of chakra and was swallowed by the Outsider Demon Statue.

Now only one eye remains unopened.

Madara Uchiha, seeing this, a rare smile tugged at the corner of his mouth; only the final Three‑Tails is missing, and the realization of the "Moon's Eye" plan is just around the corner.

"Uchiha, can we talk now?"

Hashirama, seeing his friend finally obtain Nine‑Tailed Chakra, asked weakly.

"What do you want to discuss?"

Madara Uchiha, in a great mood after successfully acquiring Nine‑Tailed Chakra, was willing to spend time listening to whatever his old friend might say.

"Can you abandon the 'Moon's Eye' plan? I think the peace achieved that way would be false."

Upon hearing that, Madara Uchiha's smile instantly froze.

The good mood from acquiring Nine‑Tailed Chakra vanished without a trace in an instant.

"If you intend to persuade me to give up, don't waste your words," Madara Uchiha said coldly. "Only the 'Moon's Eye' plan can bring true peace to the Ninja World!"

"Hashirama, I believe you will soon see that day arrive."

In his view, Hashirama's plan to found a Village and achieve peace has utterly failed; such peace achieved by force does not last.

Only the 'Moon's Eye' plan can create a world of perpetual peace!

"Uchiha…"

Hashirama was about to continue persuading when Madara Uchiha impatiently cut him off.

"Enough, Hashirama, stop saying meaningless words."

Madara, whose resolve is steadfast, could not abandon his ideal because of a few words from a friend.

Even if his ideal is not recognized by the world, he will unwaveringly continue on.

Until the day the plan is completely successful!

After speaking, Madara Uchiha did not glance at his friend again, turned, and left the courtyard.

Helping each other, Feijian and Lian Ye hurried over and happened to meet Madara Uchiha as he left.

Uchiha's gaze briefly fell on Lian Ye's blind right eye, then he withdrew his sight and continued forward as if nothing had happened.

He never looked at Feijian during the whole process, as if he never considered him at all.

He left only a solitary, proud silhouette behind.
