Chapter 511: This Brainstorm Has No Equal

As Madara Uchiha had expected, Lian Ye has no intention of extracting the Rinnegan.

This kind of thing is too powerful; it could cause great danger in the future!

For example, Zhang Men, after obtaining the Rinnegan, was deceived and nearly destroyed the Ninja World.

Rather than keep it, it would be better to let it rot together with Madara Uchiha's corpse.

Senju Hashirama and Lian Ye share the same view: they will not use a close friend's body for research.

The two agree to bury Ban in a hidden spot.

As for the exact location, even Qianshou Feijian, that old kid, doesn't know.

Only this way can Ban Daye's corpse be absolutely secure!

To prevent malicious people from summoning him again.

Lian Ye originally planned to capture the mastermind Heijue in the future, then use the Reincarnation Born technique to revive Madara Uchiha.

To make him see reality, the Moon's Eye project is merely a scheme by those with ulterior motives.

But on second thought, forget it.

Putting aside whether Heijue can be captured, that guy is Huiye's will; ordinary people can't even perceive it, let alone seize it.

And even if Madara Uchiha learns the truth, would he truly be able to retire peacefully?

The ideal pursued all along turns out to be false in the end.

Ban Daye's Dao heart would surely shatter.

Rather than let his remaining days be filled with pain, it's better to abandon the plan to resurrect him with Reincarnation Born.

In the end, Lian Ye did not inherit the coveted Rinnegan; let these eyes be buried together with their master.

"Lian Ye, where do you want to bury Ban?"

A few days later, Lian Ye and Senju Hashirama left Konoha, seeking a hidden place to bury Ban.

"Uncle Hashirama, I want to bury Lord Ban where you first met."

Senju Hashirama fell into contemplation upon hearing this, murmuring softly.

"The place of your first meeting?"

He couldn't help recalling the scene decades ago, when he saw Ban by the river.

That was the first time he saw his close friend perform a Fake Death Escape; his excitement was indescribable.

The two even engaged in a fierce chase.

Originally, in his condition he couldn't catch Ban at all, but Ban, recalling their past bond, deliberately slowed down to wait for him.

He still cannot forget that scene to this day.

"I understand, we'll bury Ban there!" Senju Hashirama said excitedly.

Later, when he goes to tend his friend's grave, he can still chat with him, recalling what once happened…

So, Senju Hashirama, with Lian Ye, after three days of trekking, arrived at the riverside where they first met.

Though called a river, it was merely a small stream nestled in the woods.

Decades later, the once‑small stream had long dried up, and the sand and stones at its bed testified its former existence.

"Uncle Hashirama, is this the place where you met?"

Lian Ye looked at the desolate surroundings, wondering where the beautiful scenery described by Uncle Hashirama could be.

Where are the promised green mountains and clear waters?

Bare, leafless trees, a dried‑up stream, and withered yellow grass.

"I didn't expect that after decades of absence, the environment would become like this," Senju Hashirama said, awkwardly scratching his head.

Who would have thought that after just a dozen years, the place had already changed beyond recognition.

"Let's find another spot."

Senju Hashirama could not let his close friend be buried in such a barren place; a feng shui‑blessed site was needed.

The two continued searching the Ninja World for a place to bury Madara Uchiha.

Heijue, who had been tailing them from the shadows, whispered: "…"

Chu Zi, what are you and Senju Hashirama doing?!

All these days have passed, and they still haven't decided where to bury the person!

If you ask me, just pick any piece of land and buy it.

Anyway, once you put the first foot in, I'll move the corpse with my next step.

In Lian Ye's and Hashirama's eyes, the dead are paramount, especially when the deceased is Madara Uchiha.

They must find a good spot to inter him.

This kind of matter cannot be handled carelessly!

After another few days of trekking, the two still hadn't decided where to bury the person.

Heijue's mindset was on the verge of breaking.

If Ban's corpse hadn't been placed in the Storage Scroll, Heijue would have worried about it rotting after so many days.

By then, without the Rinnegan…

Where would it go to revive Madara Uchiha and rescue the mother sealed for a thousand years?!

Fortunately, the Storage Scroll has a quasi‑insurance function; storing a corpse for a short time carries no risk of decay.

Just as Heijue felt speechless and on the brink of collapse over this, the two finally settled on a burial site for Madara Uchiha.

In a mountain cave somewhere in the Ninja World.

Lian Ye and Senju Hashirama looked at the familiar furniture and bed inside the cave, falling into reminiscence.

"So much time has passed, and this place is still the same!" Senju Hashirama couldn't help but sigh.

This cave can be said to be the longest‑inhabited cave since Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha were Mountain Top Cave Men.

During that time Lian Ye also stayed there for a while.

One could say it's full of memories!

"Uncle Hashirama, is it appropriate for us to bury Lord Ban here?"

Lian Ye said with a strange expression.

He always felt that burying someone inside a cave looked oddly strange…

Just imagine: a passerby wants to spend a night in the cave, and upon entering sees a tomb.

Doesn't that seem eerie?

"Ha ha, I think it's fine!" Senju Hashirama said with a smile. "I and Madara have lived here the longest; I believe he wouldn't object."

"Moreover, this place is rarely visited; almost no one comes. Burying Madara's corpse here won't be disturbed."

Lian Ye, seeing that, subconsciously nodded.

Although burying Ban Daye in the cave felt a bit odd, Uncle Hashirama's words weren't without reason.

Since Ban Daye could reside here for such a long time, it must mean he liked the environment, so burying him here is better than elsewhere.

Just as Uncle Hashirama said, this place is rarely visited and no one returns.

Even if someone happened to pass by that day, they wouldn't be interested in the cave's tomb, let alone know that the tomb's owner was the former Ninja World Asura Madara Uchiha!

The two reached an agreement, and a burial mound soon appeared inside the cave.

"Should we clean up these pieces of furniture?" Lian Ye asked curiously.

"No need. In the future, if we miss Madara, we can come here for a meal and chat with him," Senju Hashirama waved his hand.

"Makes sense," Lian Ye nodded in agreement.

We'll keep the beds and platforms for now; maybe we'll need to live here again later.

Consider it a nostalgic revisit to the old place.

After all, the days spent living in the cave truly were their bygone youth.

Heijue: "……"

These two guys are too weird, aren't they?

Burying someone in a cave—it's the first time I've seen that in all these years.

One can only say it's fitting for Senju Hashirama, being able to think of living beside a tomb.

This brainhole truly has no equal.

I wonder what expression Madara will have when he is revived by Impure Earth Reincarnation and learns of this.
