Chapter 1077: Plan

Madara looked at Su Xiao without blinking. He had already secretly suspected in his heart whether Su Xiao was a spy sent by the other side.

It was no wonder Madara would be like this. After all, Su Xiao's plan was a bit too 'whimsical'. It was normal for Madara to be unable to accept it for a while.

Madara's hands seemed to be hanging by his sides, but in fact, he was already prepared to form hand seals and use 'Majestic Destroyer Flame' to burn Su Xiao to death.

"My plan sounds a bit absurd, but in reality, the risk is very low."

Su Xiao cooperated with Madara, one was to steal the kill—no, it should be to finish off—and the other was to hunt down powerhouses.

Now an opportunity was placed in front of Su Xiao. He was prepared to let Obito resurrect Madara while also resurrecting Hashirama Senju.

That's right, Su Xiao's plan was just that crazy. He was prepared to fight Hashirama Senju alone. As for how to kill him, of course, he wouldn't fight head-on, but it wouldn't involve other plot characters either. The combat power on the field would at most be Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and Amu.

Su Xiao's strength could deal with one Kage alone; this was the result he obtained through practice. And Hashirama Senju, he could hang and beat one Kage. Calculated this way, after Su Xiao fought Hashirama Senju, his survival rate would not exceed 30%.

Note, this was not the probability of defeat, but the survival rate.

Even so, Su Xiao still had to resurrect Hashirama Senju. He wasn't tired of living, but he indeed had the confidence to single-handedly fight Hashirama Senju.

"Madara, you wouldn't suspect I'm a traitor, would you?"

"Hmph."

Madara snorted coldly, the meaning was very clear: Aren't you?

"First, Hashirama Senju has already been summoned by Edo Tensei. Even if his current strength is not as good as when he was alive, he is definitely not weak. Now he has two advantages: immortal body + infinite chakra."

Madara still didn't speak but defaulted to Su Xiao's statement.

"If he is not removed, his role in the war will be great. He has amazing combat power and can also help living people do some dangerous testing. Most importantly, he is the leader now. You should know better than me how high Hashirama's leadership charisma is."

Su Xiao looked at Obito, who was fighting chaotically with many ninjas in the distance. Even though Obito was besieged by many people, he still had the upper hand. This was the power of the Six Paths.

Madara was also looking at Obito. He was very jealous of the power of the Six Paths.

"What you said makes some sense, but, the living Hashirama is far stronger than you imagine."

Madara was sorting out his thoughts. He was currently alone, so he didn't want to turn against Su Xiao directly.

"For others, the living Hashirama is very scary, but for me, the living Hashirama is not scary. Conversely, while he gains life, weaknesses will appear. Hashirama cells are not perfect things."

"No, Hashirama cells are very perfect, even qualified to rival the Sharingan."

Madara's expression was clearly displeased. Although he regarded Hashirama as an enemy, the respect he had for Hashirama in his heart was not small.

"In your era, the Senju clan was an opponent not to be underestimated, but Hashirama has been dead for too long, and everything about him has been thoroughly studied."

"..."

This time Madara couldn't refute. When he was summoned by Edo Tensei, he discovered that Hashirama cells had been transplanted into his body, but they were only ordinary Hashirama cells.

"The secret of Hashirama cells, you don't understand."

"Is it... really like that?"

A test tube slid out of Su Xiao's sleeve, filled with a light green solution.

"This is..."

Madara's expression finally changed.

"This thing is named primitive Hashirama cells, which are the cells of Hashirama when he was alive. Also, those descriptions of yours about primitive Hashirama cells..."

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, he found Uchiha Madara staring straight at him.

"That document was just something I wrote casually."

Madara changed the subject. It seemed he also knew how abstract his descriptions were when he wrote those documents.

"In other words, you know Hashirama cells very well?"

"Of course, I have made many things with Hashirama cells. While strengthening them, of course, I have ways to weaken them."

"Weakened to what extent?"

Madara seemed somewhat tempted. In fact, he also knew that leaving the Edo Tensei Hashirama alone would lead to endless trouble.

Su Xiao, Obito, Uchiha Madara—no matter how you looked at it, none of them were good at sealing abilities. And Obito was currently in a double-agent state. After the seal in his heart was shattered, it was very likely that after some self-reflection, he would forcibly wash himself clean.

If that happened, it would be Su Xiao + Madara vs. the five great ninja villages + former Hokage + Orochimaru + Iron Country samurai + over a hundred contractors.

If it really reached that situation, Su Xiao would say take care to Madara and then return to the Reincarnation Paradise, leaving Madara to face many enemies.

It wasn't that Su Xiao didn't keep his word, because Madara had similar thoughts. If the situation was bad, he would immediately release Edo Tensei and let Black and White Zetsu continue to look for opportunities.

The current situation was that Obito was fierce enough to hold off the ninja army, but Obito could rebel at any time.

After Madara was resurrected, he didn't take Naruto, Sasuke, Minato Namikaze, and the like seriously. The only one he truly feared was Hashirama.

"How can you be sure that after Hashirama is resurrected, you will definitely be able to lure him away?"

"60% probability, provided I need your cooperation."

"My cooperation?"

"Yes."

Madara listened in a daze. At this moment, he had a vague feeling in his heart that this person was absolutely abnormal. At least the other party's thinking was different from 99.99% of ninjas.

"Specifically, it's like this..."

Su Xiao began to discuss with Madara, and Madara soon understood what was going on.

"Whether it can succeed depends on your and my acting."

"The situation... indeed might develop like that."

Madara began to consider, and soon, he put forward his own views.

After several modifications to the whole plan, Su Xiao and Madara reached an agreement. Madara clearly didn't want Hashirama to continue to stir up trouble on the battlefield. When he was resurrected, he would be weak for a period of time. If he was dragged down by the immortal Hashirama at that time, it would be very troublesome.

Being besieged by the Ninja Alliance to death just after being resurrected, Madara of course couldn't accept this result, so he agreed to Su Xiao's plan to attract firepower, or rather, the two sides helped each other attract firepower and cover the retreat.

"If you can successfully resurrect, how long will it take to become that state?"

Su Xiao gestured with his chin toward Obito in the distance. He was asking how long it would take for Madara to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.

"If it goes smoothly, within an hour. But there is one thing I have been unable to figure out: why did you come to me for cooperation? Wanting to get the God Tree fruit is just an excuse. So, tell me a reason I can believe."

Madara was a bit unclear why Su Xiao cooperated with him.

Hearing Madara's words, thoughts flashed through Su Xiao's mind. He couldn't say that he wanted to complete the hidden mission, so he had to form an alliance with Madara.

"After I started this war, do you think there is any possibility for me to coexist peacefully with the five great ninja villages? Either they die, or I die. In the early stages of the war, our side had a great advantage, but unfortunately, Obito and Kabuto's performance in the war was 'too outstanding'."

Although Su Xiao didn't know if this reason could be used to muddle through, he wanted Madara to know that the two sides were now grasshoppers on the same rope, and mutual suspicion was meaningless.

Was the fact really like this? Of course not. Su Xiao could return to the Reincarnation Paradise at any time; this was the main reason he participated in the Fourth Ninja World War.

"I am curious, what method will you use to fight Hashirama."

Madara also knew that now the two sides only had two people left, and mutual suspicion was indeed not very wise.
