Chapter 506: Your Dream, It's Time to Wake Up

Madara Uchiha looked at the supremely confident Lian Ye before him, and his expression grew increasingly solemn.

Those pale violet Rinnegan now appeared dim and lifeless.

Without the Rinnegan's empowerment, and compounded by the earlier Rinnegan backlash.

He really is bold, thinking he can defeat Lian Ye, who possesses the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

A fist's fear of the young and strong is not without reason.

Had he been ten years younger, even without the Rinnegan, he would have been confident of victory.

But he is far too aged; lacking the Rinnegan's attribute boost, his true strength is laid bare.

Even though he knows he is a poor match for Lian Ye, Madara Uchiha has no intention of giving up.

Even without the Rinnegan's aid, even with an aging and wounded body, he remains the pinnacle master of Body Technique!

He unleashed a fierce hand slash toward Lian Ye's neck.

Facing this massive, heavy strike, Lian Ye merely tilted his head slightly and easily evaded, while his right leg shot out like a whip, sweeping Ban's lower body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two figures darted past each other, fists and feet colliding with a dull thud.

Ban's Body Technique erupted in massive, destructive force. Lian Ye's Body Technique, learned from Qianshou Feijian, each move could often counter Ban's.

One can only say that the old brat Qianshou Feijian truly despises Madara Uchiha.

He even devised Body Techniques specifically to counter Ban.

When the gap between them was huge, Lian Ye did not notice the subtlety of these techniques.

Now that they are on equal footing, Lian Ye has spotted the flaw in the Body Technique.

One can only say Qianshou Feijian truly lives up to being the most vigilant against the Uchiha!

Using his moves against the inherently evil Uchiha is certainly spot‑on.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Madara Uchiha seized a opening, swiftly retreated to form a seal, and massive chakra instantly coalesced.

Even though his power is not at its peak, his Fire Release still far surpasses ordinary Uchiha clan members.

A towering sea of flames, like a blood‑filled maw, surged toward Lian Ye a short distance away.

Facing this lake‑evaporating blaze, Lian Ye directly commanded the Water Release‑adept Three-Tails to spew a massive torrent.

It collided violently with the surging sea of fire.

Sss

A huge white mist instantly spread across the Battlefield, the scalding steam obscuring everyone's sight.

Within this pure white haze, Madara Uchiha suddenly felt a chill surge from his side‑rear.

Lian Ye employed Flying Thunder God to pierce the dense mist, delivering a straight punch toward Ban's back.

Madara Uchiha sensed and reacted, but his aged body lagged, forcing him to hastily turn and block.

Boom!

The massive force hurled him backward, his feet carving two deep ruts into the ground.

"Damn!" Ban's face was full of resentment, if the Rinnegan were unavailable.

He could never have been this disheveled!

"Lord Ban, now that you've lost the Rinnegan, how much strength do you have left?"

The dense mist gradually cleared, revealing Lian Ye's face, brimming with confidence.

He, who wields the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, doesn't even know how he could lose.

Given Ban Daye's current condition, defeating him should be a piece of cake, right?

"Lord Ban, concede defeat, abandon this unrealistic plan, and retire back to Konoha Village."

He tried to persuade Madara Uchiha with Mouth Ninjutsu.

"The peace you pursue is merely your own wishful thinking."

Madara Uchiha, single‑mindedly seeking Ninja World Peace, would go as far as using Infinite Moon Reading to trap everyone in Genjutsu.

But he never considered the feelings of others in the Ninja World.

Do they truly wish to spend the rest of their lives in a false Genjutsu world?

"Ban, Lian Ye is right, come back!"

Senju Hashirama, seeing this, hurriedly spoke to urge his close friend to abandon the plan.

He does not want Ban to persist in his obstinacy.

Otherwise Ban would truly be killed!

"Shut up, none of your business!" Madara Uchiha gave Hashirama a cold glance, then shifted his gaze back to Lian Ye: "Kid, you understand nothing, so don't even try to persuade me."

His resolve is steadfast; he cannot abandon his ideals because of a few words.

If someone gives up their ideals over a few sentences, it only shows they never truly wanted to realize them.

Without firm belief, one is destined to fail.

And Madara Uchiha is not the type to change his decision lightly; he will see the "Moon's Eye" plan through no matter what.

To bring true peace to the Ninja World!

As for the slanders and misunderstandings of the masses, when the plan succeeds, who is right and who is wrong will naturally be revealed.

Even if, as Lian Ye says, the "Moon's Eye" plan is a lie.

He still wants to see it with his own eyes!

Lian Ye looked at Madara Uchiha with a complicated expression; this guy wasn't lightly brainwashed by Heijue.

One could say he's beyond any help.

Lian Ye doubts that even if he lets Madara Uchiha view his memories through Genjutsu, he will still comment after watching.

Kid, it's well done, just like the real thing.

Regarding Ban Daye's stubborn nature, Lian Ye truly has no way to deal with it.

Even if he uses violent means to force him to abandon the Moon's Eye plan.

He will certainly continue scheming behind the scenes.

There is a great chance, just like in the original work, that he will deceive a pawn like Uchiha Obito to help him achieve his resurrection plan…

Could it be that the only option is to kill him?

Madara Uchiha pays no attention to Lian Ye's complicated expression; his gaze seems to pierce through Lian Ye and look toward a far more distant place.

"See reality clearly! This world full of despair is nothing but a massive cage; all living people are trapped in endless cycles of conflict and suffering! War, hatred, loss… all of this will never cease!"

His voice suddenly rises, filled with fanaticism and obsession.

"And the Moon's Eye plan is the only salvation! In that eternal illusion, there is no pain, no loss; everyone will attain peace within their most perfect dream! This is the true… Infinite Moon Reading!"

Lian Ye hears this speech and feels as if the heavens have collapsed.

Damned Heijue, you tricked Ban Daye into this; I must never encounter you!

"The dream you weave for yourself, however beautiful, is nothing but a false Genjutsu."

Lian Ye lifts his hand, points at Madara Uchiha, and says coldly.

"Someone who dares not even face real pain has no right to speak of peace,"

"Lord Ban, your dream must awaken!"

Since he refuses to awaken, only special measures can be employed.

Sorry, Lord Ban.

He truly does not want Ban to collect all the Tailed Beasts and become a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki; by then, no one will be able to stop it.

If Ban were to collect all the Tailed Beasts and become a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, then no one could stop it.

Facing Lian Ye's accusation, Madara Uchiha shows no reaction.

"Kid, you don't think you have the victory secured, do you?"

Just as Lian Ye is about to act, Ban's dim Rinnegan regains its color.

But he has no intention of using the Rinnegan; instead, he looks at A Fei, who has stuck his head out from beside his feet.

"Come up."
