Chapter 237 The Truth

Three days later, the darkness before dawn enveloped the valley outside the Hidden Cloud Village.

The morning mist wandered among the treetops like a ghost, dyeing the entire forest pale.

Yu Xi stood on the edge of the cliff, her golden pupils reflecting the faint lights of the Hidden Cloud Village in the distance.

Behind her, Orochimaru was reporting the preparations for the Impure World Reincarnation in a hoarse voice.

"Except for the first to third Hokage, and the fourth Kazekage, all the Kage-level ninjas from other villages are ready." Orochimaru licked his lips unconsciously, his eyes flashing with fanaticism.

Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the light of the bonfire. "According to intelligence, the Hidden Cloud Village has built three lines of defense. The outermost is a lightning barrier, maintained by thirty jonin in shifts."

Yu Xi chuckled softly, and a ray of red energy condensed from her fingertips, drawing a complex trajectory in the air: "Block? That kind of thing is not even a toy."

She suddenly turned around, her long golden hair drawing a dazzling arc in the morning breeze, "Are all the members of Akatsuki here?"

Several figures walked out of the shadows.

Pain's Rinnegan glowed coldly beneath his hood. "Everyone, except Itachi, are in position. Deidara and Sasori will conduct a feint attack on the east side. Kakuzu and Hidan have already infiltrated the Land of Iron."

"Danzo is here!" A White Zetsu clone suddenly appeared on the scene and knelt on one knee to report.

Yuxi raised an eyebrow and looked at Danzo who walked out of the woods.

The old man had a bandage on his right eye and was leaning on a cane in his left hand. Behind him were a hundred Root elites wearing animal masks.

"Interesting." Yu Xi's golden eyes narrowed slightly, "I thought you would continue to compete for the position of Hokage!"

Danzo untied the bandage on his right eye expressionlessly, revealing the scarlet Sharingan: "I simply chose the path that is most conducive to peace in the ninja world and joined you. As for the position of Hokage, it is meaningless."

Orochimaru hissed a laugh, "How ironic, Lord Danzo."

Yu Xi waved her hand: "It's up to you. Now that you're here, prove your worth."

She looked at Kabuto and Orochimaru, "Let's start the Impure World Reincarnation, especially... that person."

As the complex seal was completed, five coffins engraved with runes rose from the ground.

Four of them slowly opened, revealing familiar faces inside - the Third Raikage, the Third Kazekage, the Second Mizukage, and the Second Tsuchikage.

But the coffin in the center was shaking violently, as if the being inside was resisting the call.

"It's true." Yu Xi walked forward and put his hand on the coffin lid.

The coffin lid exploded, and a tall figure emerged from the dust.

His long black hair danced like flames, and his three-magatama Sharingan flickered in the shadows.

When the dust settled and Uchiha Madara fully appeared, the air around him seemed to freeze.

"This is... Impure World Reincarnation?" Madara looked down at his cracked hands.

There was suppressed anger in his voice, "That loser Obito failed?"

Yu Xi tilted her head and looked at him: "Long time no see, you are still so irritable."

Ban raised his head suddenly, and when he saw the person who was speaking

The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly contracted: "Yuxi?! This is impossible... You are still alive?!"

Yuxi chuckled, "It seems you lack confidence in me, Madara."

Madara wondered, "What's happening in the ninja world right now?"

There was a hint of disbelief in that voice.

Orochimaru was beside him, his snake eyes flickering with a faint light.

In an almost joking tone, he explained, "Lady Yuxi has a greater wish. She plans to unify the ninja world and start the Fourth Ninja World War."

"At present, Konoha, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Sand Village have all surrendered. Only the Iron Country and Cloud Village are still resisting stubbornly."

He gently spit out his tongue, as if he was full of anticipation for the coming storm.

When Madara heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and his shock was beyond words.

This was completely different from the Moon Eye plan that he had been brewing for many years.

His plan is to trap everyone in an eternal dream, thereby ending the conflicts in the ninja world and achieving true peace.

He looked at Yuxi, his voice questioning: "You want to unify the ninja world? This goes against my Moon Eye plan!"

After hearing this, Yu Xi burst out laughing.

The laughter was crisp but with a hint of teasing, echoing in the valley filled with morning mist.

"Sorry, Madara, the Moon Eye Project was a lie from the beginning." Yu Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.

There was a cunning glint in his golden eyes, as if he was enjoying Madara's shock and anger at the moment. "I knew a long time ago that the contents of the stone tablet had been tampered with, but I didn't tell you."

Madara's face instantly turned gloomy as water, and his three-magatama Sharingan spun wildly.

It eventually transformed into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, its scarlet light particularly dazzling in the darkness.

"What did you say?!" Madara's voice was low and dangerous.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, and the air around him became distorted by his anger.

Yu Xi was not in a hurry. She folded her hands in front of her chest with a smile on her face.

She smiled faintly and said, "The content you see on the stone tablet has actually been changed by Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu is not your will at all."

Madara's body trembled slightly, he couldn't believe this fact.

For so many years, he has always regarded the Moon Eye Project as the only way to achieve peace in the ninja world.

No matter the cost, it will be worth it.

But now, Yu Xi told him that all this was fake and was a conspiracy of Black Zetsu.

"Impossible! Black Zetsu has been following me all the time, how could it..." Madara's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were full of confusion and pain.

Yu Xi sighed softly and took two steps forward.

He stared at Madara and said, "You were too obsessed with your own plan. Black Zetsu took advantage of your desire for peace and tampered with the contents of the stone tablet, making you his pawn."

Various scenes from the past kept appearing in Madara's mind. All the efforts made for the Moon Eye Project seemed so ridiculous at this moment.

He suddenly realized that his life.

They were all deceived by a false plan and used by a conspirator hiding in the dark.

"Why...why didn't you tell me earlier?" There was a hint of despair in Madara's voice.

He looked at Yu Xi, his eyes filled with both anger and expectation.

Looking forward to Yu Xi giving him a reasonable explanation.

Yu Xi put away her smile and said, "Once you know the truth, you will definitely fall into confusion, or even become depressed. Therefore, I can only choose to conceal it temporarily and wait for the right time to tell you."

Madara was silent for a moment, and the chakra in his body began to fluctuate violently.

He couldn't accept that he had been deceived for so long. "So tell me now, is your plan more noble than the Moon Eye Project?"

Yu Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze firm and resolute: "I will not use false dreams to paralyze people, but will use real power to unify the ninja world and establish a new order without war and conflict."

Ban looked at Yuxi with mixed feelings.

He once thought that the Moon Eye Project was the only way to achieve peace, but now the plan has been proven to be false.

Although Yu Xi's plan was different from what he had in mind, it had an attraction that he could not ignore.

"I..." Madara opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Yuxi looked at Madara, "Madara, it's time to make a choice. Will you continue to be immersed in the pain of being deceived, or will you join me and bring true peace to the ninja world?"
