Chapter 626: Did You See, Quannai

Konoha Village, on the cliff.

Madara Uchiha sat on the mountaintop, cradling a black Fat Cat in his arms, gazing at the prosperous Konoha Village below.

"Lord Ban, it's really great that you're not dead, meow!"

Dao Ba felt Madara Uchiha's gentle caress, comfortably squinting his eyes.

When it learned that Lian Ye had killed Madara Uchiha, it never again paid any heed to the murderer who killed Lord Ban.

Now that Lord Ban has been resurrected, the Fat Cat is extremely delighted.

To be honest, it is somewhat craving grilled fish.

It must be said that no cat can refuse the grilled fish made by Lian Ye.

That flavor has remained unforgettable to it to this day.

If that incident hadn't occurred back then, Dao Ba would have already joined Lian Ye.

Now that Madara Uchiha is revived, he can finally forgive Lian Ye.

Hmm, it's definitely not for a grilled fish!

Madara Uchiha quietly stared down, never speaking.

He couldn't sleep today, so he got up early, left home, and unwittingly arrived at the mountaintop.

In his youth, he and Hashirama discussed their future dreams here.

Later, the two ended the war and founded Konoha Ninja Village below.

They then, due to differing ideals, went their separate ways onto different paths.

Madara Uchiha had thought he and Hashirama would never meet again, but because of Lian Ye, they were reunited.

Moreover, they lived in a mountain cave for several years.

In the end, he successfully awakened the Rinnegan, intending to gather Tailed Beasts and perform Infinite Moon Reading, but unfortunately he was ultimately defeated by Lian Ye.

Although he died, he did not abandon his ideal.

He let the "Will Incarnation" Heijue plot in secret, thereby using a pawn to employ Reincarnation Born and resurrect himself.

He had thought his life's goal was to wield Infinite Moon Reading, making the decayed Ninja World achieve complete peace.

But Lian Ye took him through time and space, not only seizing the chance for resurrection, but also seeing through the conspiracy of Infinite Moon Reading.

The events that have befallen Madara over these years can be described as truly fantastical.

"Lord Ban, I miss Quannai."

Dao Ba whispered softly in Madara's arms.

In fact, the Fat Cat is a very discerning cat, and since Yuzhibo Quannai died from grievous wounds.

It was then adopted by Madara Uchiha.

Even though the Fat Cat deeply misses Quannai, it never mentions Quannai in front of Lord Ban.

Fearing that a slip of the tongue might cause Lord Ban to think of Quannai, thereby adding needless sorrow.

Now that he sees Lord Ban resurrected, Dao Ba's heart harbors a little thought.

Since Lord Ban can be revived, he must be able to revive Quannai as well!

If that were truly possible, he could once again see the constantly yearned-for Quannai.

Madara Uchiha's previously indifferent gaze showed a slight ripple upon hearing that.

"Quannai..."

Indeed, he possesses the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, which can truly resurrect his deceased brother.

Previously, the reason he did not revive Quannai was simply because he believed the "Moon's Eye" could fully achieve Ninja World peace.

Even if he were to revive Quannai, he would wait until the day Ninja World peace is attained.

Madara does not want his brother to see this decayed Ninja World.

But the "Moon's Eye" plan is Heijue's scheme to resurrect Huiye, which fundamentally cannot bring about Ninja World peace.

And Madara Uchiha has yet to find any other method.

To put it bluntly, he may never find a way to achieve Ninja World peace.

Now that things have come to this, why not revive his brother?

He believes that having Quannai offer counsel would surely be more effective than his solitary brooding.

"Dao Ba, do you want to see Quannai again?" Madara Uchiha suddenly said.

The Fat Cat's eyes widened instantly upon hearing that, and, excitedly, turned its head to ask.

"Lord Ban, are you serious? Can I really see Quannai again?!"

Madara Uchiha gave no answer, only a slight curl at the corner of his mouth.

With the Rinnegan, reviving Quannai is practically effortless for him.

Moreover, having previously traversed time and space, he had observed and understood the principle of employing Reincarnation Born.

It consumes a massive amount of chakra and a certain amount of life force.

And that can bring the dead back to life!

Reviving a single person and reviving a group cost completely different amounts.

Uchiha Obito employed Reincarnation Born, aiming to resurrect all ninjas who perished in the Fourth Ninja World War.

The price, like Zhang Men's, is life itself to revive everyone; by the time the ninjutsu is cast, the life force is already spent.

Only at the crucial moment, Heijue intervened in time and controlled Obito, altering the final resurrection target.

In other words, reviving a single individual does not require much.

At most it merely consumes a large amount of chakra and some life force.

Compared to reviving his brother Quannai, what does losing a bit of his own life force matter?

Did you see it, Quan Nai…

Madara Uchiha stared at Konoha Village below, babbling as he spoke.

That is the village Hashirama and I founded together; I believe you'll grow fond of it once you are revived.

I know a very interesting junior; his cooking skills are excellent. Don't you love good food? You'll definitely like the dishes he makes.

When the time comes, I'll tell that kid not to cook for Feijian, and have him make delicacies for you every day…

Dao Ba stayed motionless in Madara's arms, fearing to disturb Lord Ban.

He only kept his wide eyes fixed on the sky, tears uncontrollably streaming from his eyes.

From Lord Ban's words, it heard the news that Quannai would soon be revived.

Wuwuwu, Quannai, I really miss you so much!

Since you left, there has been no one to look after me or Lord Ban.

They all bully me and Lord Ban…

Quan Nai, when I return I'll revive you!

Madara Uchiha stood up, looking down at Konoha Village, a rare smile appearing on his face.

Trust your brother!

This time, he won't let anyone hurt his younger brother again.

Madara, you're here!

Senju Hashirama arrived at the mountaintop, gazing at his dear friend's silhouette, panting heavily from exhaustion.

He left Feijian's house and started searching the Village for Madara's whereabouts.

He scoured the entire Village, yet still found nothing.

Thus, thinking that a higher perch lets one see farther, he ran to the cliff ahead of the Village.

He wanted to overlook the entire Village from above, thereby increasing his chances of spotting Madara's trail.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Madara's figure.

Heaven never blocks a person's path!

Hashirama, why did you come?

Madara Uchiha turned around in surprise and saw Hashirama, out of breath from exhaustion.

Haha, I didn't see you this morning and thought you'd run away from home again.

Senju Hashirama scratched his head and laughed as he spoke.

You should rest for a while first.

Seeing Hashirama so tired, it would be unwise for him to go down the mountain directly.

Senju Hashirama sat beside Madara, and Madara Uchiha, seeing this, sat down again.

The two said nothing, merely sitting quietly in the village they themselves had founded, as if time had reverted to many years ago.

Madara, do you still remember the words we said here when we were kids?

Hmm…
