Chapter 512: Madara Uchiha Descends Upon the Ninja World

"I'm sorry, Ban, I couldn't stop you from abandoning the 'Moon's Eye' plan."

Hashirama stood before his friend's tomb, his face showing guilt, and said.

He chose not to erect a monument for his friend, fearing that later people would disrespect his corpse.

Had he succeeded in stopping Ban, this situation would not have arisen.

If, in Konoha's early days, he had been able to notice Ban's abnormal condition and advise him in time.

Perhaps Ban would not have carried out the 'Moon's Eye' plan, nor chosen to kill his close friend for the village.

All these years, he has lived with the guilt of having killed Ban.

Even after learning from Lian Ye that Madara Uchiha used Izanagi Fake Death to escape, the guilt remained unchanged.

It has simply been hidden in his heart all along.

Now his friend is truly dead, and he can only watch helplessly, utterly powerless to stop it.

The guilt in Hashirama's heart can no longer be suppressed.

Lian Ye feels equally uneasy.

Madara Uchiha is too stubborn, believing only what they have seen with their own eyes.

They are utterly unyielding.

Even if the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki arrives, they still cannot persuade Ban Daye to abandon the 'Moon's Eye' plan.

For someone with such steadfast Dao‑heart, no one's arrival makes a difference.

For the peace of the Ninja World, they can only choose to kill him.

If blame is to be placed, blame the inherently evil Heijue; merely altering the inscription on the stone tablet could mislead Madara Uchiha.

One can only say they truly live up to being the hidden mastermind of millennia.

However, as long as Heijue is present, Heijue's plan to resurrect Kaguya Otsutsuki will never come to fruition!

Lian Ye could never allow Kaguya Otsutsuki to emerge; as for after they die, it doesn't matter.

If everyone is gone, what relation does the Ninja World have with them?

Besides, decades later the Protagonist Party will appear, and there's no need for him to worry about such matters.

The two lingered at Ban's tomb for a while, then left together.

Hashirama specifically set a disguised seal at the cave entrance to prevent anyone passing by from discovering it.

"Those two guys finally left!"

Heijue watched them depart, slowly emerging from the shadows.

Now they only need to bring Madara Uchiha's corpse back and use the Impure Earth Reincarnation devised by Qianshou Feijian to summon him.

"'Moon's Eye' plan, I believe it will be realized soon!"

Bai Jue, under Heijue's signal, slipped underground to retrieve Madara Uchiha's corpse.

On the surface, no problem appears.

Heijue looked at Madara Uchiha's still‑fresh corpse and nodded with satisfaction.

It fears that the Rinnegan has already decayed.

Fortunately, the Storage Scroll has a preservation function, preventing spoilage in the short term.

Someplace in the Ninja World, an unknown underground space.

Heijue dares not place the secret base in a cave again, lest Lian Ye and Hashirama someday revisit the site.

Wouldn't it just explode?

To be safe, they simply switch to another hideout.

On the ground lay a ninja bound with thick ropes, a Bai Jue possessing another ninja, the sealing pattern invoking Impure Earth Reincarnation.

Impure Earth Reincarnation requires a certain amount of the deceased's flesh, then uses a living person's body as a vessel for the dead soul, summoning the soul from the Yellow Springs and attaching it to the living body.

The ninja offered as a sacrifice convulsed, his body covered in dust, and soon transformed into the likeness of Madara Uchiha.

Ban, who died a few days ago, has descended upon the Ninja World again!

Only this time, unlike the previous use of Izanagi Fake Death, he was summoned in the state of a revenant…

"Impure Earth Reincarnation?"

Madara Uchiha lowered his head, gazing at his hands, and murmured softly.

He now wears a Black Robe, his appearance reverted to that of a thirty‑year‑old.

Although his looks have returned to youth, his physical strength is still less than when he was older.

It can only indicate that the Impure Earth Reincarnation technique developed by Feijian is average.

"Heh, so this is the ninjutsu Feijian researched?" Ban said disdainfully, "This frail body is less than one‑tenth of my original body."

He does not intend to disparage Feijian, but the body produced by Impure Earth Reincarnation is truly too frail.

It can only barely reach Elite Jonin rank.

With such feeble power, it's hard enough to face ordinary Elite Jonin, let alone Lian Ye.

Let alone realizing the 'Moon's Eye' plan.

The immediate priority now is to find a pawn to use the Rinnegan innate technique to resurrect himself!

As long as he descends in his peak state, no one in the Ninja World can stop him from achieving the 'Moon's Eye' plan!

"Lord Ban, I have successfully summoned you back."

Heijue, seeing Madara Uchiha revived, immediately stepped forward respectfully and said.

It now regards itself as the embodiment of Ban's will.

"Well done."

Madara Uchiha looked at the Rinnegan placed in the culture dish and nodded with satisfaction.

Talk about what happened after I died.

He withdrew his gaze and instructed Heijue.

"Lord Ban…" Heijue recounted in detail everything he had witnessed during this time.

Including Lian Ye and Senju Hashirama helping him choose a tomb, and finally burying him in a cave.

Madara Uchiha: "…"

Hashirama, that guy, actually buried his corpse in a cave.

At this moment he no longer knows what to say.

Have you found the pawn I asked you to look for?

Madara Uchiha did not dwell on the matter, but turned to Heijue and asked.

The immediate priority now is to find a suitable pawn so that he can use the Rinnegan innate technique to resurrect himself.

"Lord Ban, I have found several suitable candidates," Heijue hurriedly presented a list.

Choosing a suitable pawn is crucial; otherwise that guy would have the Rinnegan but not revive himself.

Wouldn't that be a problem?

Therefore, a suitable pawn must be cultivated from childhood, given a worldview, and then destroyed by hand.

As long as he sees the cruelty of reality, he will understand the importance of the Moon's Eye project.

Then he will willingly use the Rinnegan innate technique to resurrect himself!

Anyway, Madara Uchiha already has a defiled Earth body, so time is not so urgent for him.

It would be better to properly plan the subsequent scheme.

Madara Uchiha took the list Heijue handed over and began searching for the most suitable pawn among it.

The list includes children from various ninja villages.

Kid, I will let you see with your own eyes the day the Moon's Eye project succeeds and peace is achieved in the Ninja World!

If Lian Ye had not refused to endorse his plan and had not interfered.

His ideal had long since been realized.

Heijue watched Madara Uchiha carefully selecting a pawn and sneered inwardly.

You keep saying others are pawns, but in fact you are just a pawn in my plan to resurrect my mother.

It really wants to see the expression on Madara's face when he learns the truth later.

Mother, I can rescue you right away!
