Chapter 129 Uchiha Madara: Is this what you look like?

After recognizing that Tetsuya's eyes contained Izuna's Sharingan, Madara Uchiha became extremely excited.

"Where did you get those Sharingan eyes from?!"

"Hey, hey, old Madara, don't get agitated. Get this straight, these aren't your brother Uchiha Izuna's eyes. Didn't you use his eyes as material for a synthesis?"

After Tetsuya's reminder, Madara Uchiha calmed down.

Yes, my younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, gave me his eyes before he died, and I awakened the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan by relying on my brother's eyes.

Logically speaking, it should be impossible for two identical Mangekyou Sharingan to appear in this world anymore.

"Who exactly are you? You're not from the Uchiha clan, so what's with your Mangekyou Sharingan?"

"Tsk, Old Man, why do you have so many questions? Can I ask you a few questions first? If not, we can each ask one."

Madara Uchiha thought about it carefully and didn't seem to find any problem with it, since he hadn't said he had to answer.

All I need to do is find out how he acquired the Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Okay, let's do it your way. We'll each take one question."

"Okay, I'll go first."

Tetsuya sat down on the ground in front of Madara Uchiha with great interest, showing no sign of being on guard.

Madara Uchiha's eyes also flickered. After so many years, besides Hashirama, there was another person who could sit in front of him without any pressure or defense.

Judging from this, Ah Fei was very confident that he couldn't kill him.

This piqued Madara Uchiha's interest. If it were when he was younger, he would definitely have given it a try to see if this guy could really survive his hand.

But times have changed. I'm old now, practically half-buried in the ground.

If you insist on doing something reckless, you'll probably be the one who dies in the end.

He absolutely could not allow himself to die at this moment. His plan had already begun smoothly, and it would be too much of a loss if he died because of this guy.

"My first question is, back then, you and Hashirama Senju were practically invincible if you joined forces, so why didn't you just unify the ninja world and make it a complete empire?"

This is the question Tetsuya is most curious about. Back then, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju together could probably have truly achieved what netizens often say: Susanoo plus Buddha, the two of them could destroy four countries. Great Fireball plus Tree World, the world would belong to Konoha.

But they did not do that. Instead, they established a village under the jurisdiction of the daimyo of the state.

It's ridiculous that they possess power but don't have the right to it. Strong people like ninjas are controlled and restrained by powerless nobles.

Although he knew that Hashirama Senju was definitely involved, saying that war was wrong, that the hatred brought by war would only breed more hatred, and that only love could change the ninja world and bring peace.

But he still wanted to get the answer from Madara Uchiha.

When he heard that Tetsuya's first question was this, Madara Uchiha was also a little surprised. For a moment, his thoughts seemed to go back to the past, back to a long time ago, back to when he and Hashirama were still young.

He met Hashirama by the river at that time, and the two became friends.

When they were children, they discussed their dreams for the future, and Hashirama proposed to build a village that could protect his clan.

"Because establishing a village was our childhood dream."

Madara Uchiha found it somewhat amusing.

"Heh, maybe. But I once thought so too, but Hashirama dismissed it. He said hatred only breeds hatred, and that love should be used to change the ninja world, and that people can understand each other."

But as it turns out, Hashirama was wrong. The peace in the ninja world after he founded the village was entirely due to his immense power and control. Without Hashirama, the ninja world would now be in the midst of the Third Shinobi World War.

Tetsuya nodded.

"I knew it would be like this."

"What do you mean by 'as expected'?"

Tetsuya raised an eyebrow, then suddenly realized that he was wearing a mask and Madara couldn't see his expression, so he shrugged and said...

"According to the rules, you can ask one question after I finish asking mine, but are you sure you want to ask this one?"

Hearing Tetsuya say that, Madara Uchiha was a little angry, but he gave up asking further questions and instead asked a question.

"Now it's my turn to ask you, kid, who exactly are you?"

"Me? I'm just an ordinary businessman."

Tetsuya gave a surprising yet incredibly honest answer with a grin.

That's right, he is a businessman, a businessman who likes to do business.

However, he did all sorts of business, from selling small goods on the street to trading financial power and even acquiring countries.

What's most interesting is his ultimate plan: to acquire the entire ninja world.

"Kid, you're being disrespectful. I need to know your true identity. Take off your mask."

"Tsk, you have so many demands. What good does it do you to know my true identity?"

"It doesn't do me any good, but it can resolve my doubts."

Madara Uchiha stared at Tetsuya with his old, cloudy eyes and said.

"You should be able to tell that I'm about to die; I'm just clinging to life. I don't want to go to the Pure Land with mysteries in my mind."

There was a second part he didn't say: he didn't want to wait until he returned from the Pure Land to ask him those questions, because that would be too troublesome. After all, he still had to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan and bring lasting peace to the ninja world.

"Alright, since I admire you quite a bit, I don't mind showing you my real face."

Tetsuya shrugged, not caring whether Madara Uchiha or Black Zetsu saw his true appearance.

After all, he has several identities in the ninja world: the portly middle-aged businessman Chiba Tetsuya, the young businessman's son Chiba Ryo, and even Chiba Tetsuya's grandson Chiba Satoru.

As he spoke, Tetsuya removed his mask, revealing his true appearance to Madara Uchiha.

Looking at the somewhat youthful face before him, yet with an unusual maturity in his eyes that suggested he had weathered many storms and seen the world's vicissitudes, Madara Uchiha finally managed to utter a single sentence after a long pause.

"Is this what you look like?"

When Tetsuya heard Madara Uchiha utter such a sentence after such a long time, he could hardly contain himself.

"No, is there something wrong with my looks? I think I'm pretty handsome. Although I'm not as arrogantly handsome as your Uchiha clan, I'm still a good-looking man, at least on par with Minato."
