Chapter 580 Showdown
"Moon Eye Project? What is that? Fourth Hokage, what are you hiding from us?" Mizuto En looked at Minato seriously.
Although he was very satisfied with Minato as the Hokage, it did not mean that he would agree with Minato's behavior. It was not because of any rights, but simply for the village.
Autocratic power can easily lead to going astray. No matter what, for such a big matter, these consultants should have the right to know.
"I'm sorry, this matter is very important. As Shiro said, your anti-detection ability is almost non-existent compared to them, so I had to keep it secret from you. Please forgive me."
Mizutomon En remained silent, because what Minato said was indeed the truth. Although it was a bit hard to accept, fortunately he was not that kind of stupid person.
"So what is this Moon Eye Project? Since you, Yondaime, are bringing it up now, I think you can tell me about it, right?"
"The Moon Eye Project is Madara's plan to capture the nine tailed beasts to revive the legendary Ten-Tails and become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki. He will then project his eye power onto the moon and activate a ninjutsu called 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', thereby controlling the entire world and creating peace."
"Peace. You said Madara is doing this for peace?" Tsunade asked in disbelief, ignoring the important information before, and the others had similar expressions.
This was quite a shock to them. After all, as the winners, they thought Madara was the evil party. But then this evil party suddenly said that everything he did was for world peace. How could they accept it?
Even if you say you want to rule the world, they will understand, but this
"It is indeed for peace, but it is a false peace."
"A false peace?"
"What Madara calls peace is achieved through the super-large illusion of Infinite Tsukuyomi. Since it is an illusion, what is the meaning of this kind of peace?" As he said this, Shiro took out a scroll in the middle of the table and unfolded a light and shadow model.
"This is a simulation I made using the Research Department's 'Intelligent Brain' based on the description of the effects of Infinite Tsukuyomi. Take a look first, and you'll understand once you're done."
As soon as Shiro finished speaking, the scroll began to emit light, quickly weaving a pattern on the table, clearly showing everyone the effects and consequences of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
It completely dispelled the slightest bit of excitement in some people's hearts.
There was no situation in the picture where Madara was ambushed, but the situation was actually calculated according to Madara's ideas. Apart from the somewhat terrifying scene at the beginning, everything was actually fine, and everyone got what they wanted.
Although it is a dream, when a person spends his whole life in a dream, then the dream becomes real.
But later on, changes occurred. As people developed from generation to generation, their desires were constantly being realized and expanding.
In the end, they are no longer limited to staying in the omnipotent dream world, but seek breakthroughs. They even want to control the real world!
They finally achieved this. After continuous efforts and with the cooperation of unknown external factors, they successfully defeated Madara and regained the real world.
Then, humanity perished.
They are omnipotent in dreams, but have long lost the ability to survive in the real world. Dreams are just dreams after all.
After watching the projection, everyone fell silent, each thinking in their own minds.
Although what just happened was just deduction and it was almost certain that it would not happen, the ideas revealed in it made them unable to help but think deeply.
Especially, what Minato has done in recent years in conjunction with the Daimyo.
However, the crowd did not think for long, as the most urgent task was to find a way to deal with Madara's plan.
"Then we should take good care of Naruto and the One-Tail for now to prevent Madara from attacking them." After a while, Shikaku gritted his teeth and said this plan.
There is no way. Naruto and the One-Tail's identities are a bit sensitive, and other people don't seem to want to bring it up, but the problem has to be solved, so naturally he has to say it.
"Ahem~"
Who knew that just as Shikaku finished speaking, Shiro coughed twice in embarrassment, "No need for that, regular guards will do, the situation is a bit troublesome.
As I just said, we have been preparing for this plan, so we came up with a plan to completely cut off the Moon Eye plan. Let Madara resurrect the Ten-Tails. Of course, not the complete Ten-Tails, but only the incomplete Ten-Tails. Then we will take the opportunity to kill the Ten-Tails and destroy the Ten-Tails' body, the Outer Path Demon Statue, to completely cut off its hope of resurrection.
So we deliberately sent out some of the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra and the One-Tailed Fox's chakra early on."
"So, Lord Emiya has a solution?"
"Well, unfortunately, not yet. I didn't expect Madara to take action so soon. Logically speaking, even if he was resurrected now, he wouldn't be able to launch the Moon Eye Project."
"Wait, Lord Emiya, besides the Outer Path Demon Statue and the Tailed Beasts, are there any other conditions for the resurrection of the Ten-Tails?"
"Well, we still need the Rinnegan." Shiro looked at Jiraiya. Some things can be delayed for a while, but not for a lifetime. This is something that will happen sooner or later.
Now, Shikaku didn't know what to say. He and everyone else looked at the silent Jiraiya. Now it was no longer a secret among them that Nagato was Jiraiya's disciple.
Logically speaking, personal grudges must be put aside, but this is not so easy to say. Jiraiya's feelings must always be taken into consideration.
The Sandaime looked deeply at the troubled Jiraiya, took a puff of his cigarette, and said slowly, "Can we convince him? Let him stand on our side. After all, he is also a member of the Uzumaki clan, and he has many ties here."
"Bonds? You're wrong, Sandaime." Shiro shook his head. "First of all, Konoha didn't send many reinforcements during the Whirlpool Country War. Currently, the village is connected to the Uzumaki clan thanks to Minato. The bond from those days is gone.
Secondly, Nagato's parents were both killed by our Konoha ninjas. The only one who had any feelings for him was Jiraiya-senpai. All he had with our Konoha was hatred.
In the end, the former leader of Akatsuki was killed by Elder Danzo and the former demigod Hanzo. We have long been at odds with him."
After hearing this, the Third Hokage's face looked a little ugly. Although Shiro did not point it out explicitly, he almost said that all this was caused by him. He was the one who made the decision not to aid the Whirlpool Country in World War II, and the ninja who killed Nagato's parents happened during his reign.
Not to mention Danzo, without his indulgence, many things would never have happened.
In fact, he regretted it as soon as he said the third generation, but he really couldn't think of any other way. As for fighting against spots? That had never even occurred to him.
As long as there is a little hope, he will not think in that direction.
The title of Shura in the Ninja World was earned through hard work!
At this time, Jiraiya, who had been silent for a long time, raised his head and looked at Shiro: "Take action against Nagato. Although we in Konoha feel guilty towards him, what he did is unforgivable.
But, all we need is the Samsara Eye, right?"
Seeing the glimmer of hope in Jiraiya's eyes, Shiro sighed: "You are well aware of Nagato's strength. I have other urgent matters at this time, so..."
Jiraiya forced a smile, and instantly looked much older: "I understand, then, let's do this."
