"Is it really alright, Madara-sama?"
Watching Jin's retreating back grow smaller until it disappeared completely, Tobi asked the elderly Madara:
"Can you guarantee that kid will keep his word?"
In the end, the two sides didn't come to blows.
Faced with Jin's proposal of mutual non-interference, the elderly Madara ultimately chose to nod in agreement.
But Tobi felt it was a bit unreliable.
After all, Madara's original plan was to find a puppet to support, wait for the right moment after his own death, and then be revived.
The entire plan would span several decades, so what if Jin went back on his word midway?
"You can tell from the look in his eyes… he won't break his promise," The wrinkled elderly Madara slightly raised his head, his tone firm.
Having experienced so many storms, Madara believed his ability to judge people was still accurate.
And even if Jin did go back on his word midway, so what? He hadn't told him about the Eye of the Moon Plan. What could he do once it was implemented later?
'Could he be Izuna's reincarnation?' Madara thought of another question, thinking to himself with a lowered gaze.
There was another personal reason why he agreed to Jin's proposal so easily: Jin possessed the same eyes as his brother, Uchiha Izuna.
If Nohara Rin was the trigger that led to Obito's downfall, then Izuna's death was the turning point that set Madara on the path of no return.
When he saw the Mangekyo Sharingan in Jin's eyes, which is identical to Izuna's, the elderly Madara, now in his seventies, was shaken.
…
[Hashirama: That really scared me. How on earth did Madara survive back then? I made sure multiple times that he had really stopped breathing before leaving.]
[Tobirama: That guy is clearly plotting something shady.]
[Tobirama: @Jin, You shouldn't have left just like that. You should have tried to find out Madara's true purpose.]
[Jin: Give it a rest, you keyboard warrior. If I learned his true purpose, would he have let me leave so easily?]
Jin suspected that Tobirama's brain had degraded after death.
The reason the [Dancing King of Konoha] let him leave so easily was precisely because he thought Jin didn't know the specific implementation method of the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Otherwise, if that show-off knew Jin was a Transmigrator who knew every step of his plan inside out, he would have fought with his old bones rather than let Jin leave easily.
Of course, Jin still hadn't revealed his identity as a Transmigrator to the group.
He was different from other chat-novel protagonists. He wouldn't immediately reveal his identity as a Transmigrator/Reincarnator to others, mainly because doing so offered no benefits and would only make others wary of him.
Although sometimes Jin did feel like telling these dead ghosts about some bizarre future events and then watching their reactions…
Like telling Ace that his brother is actually the Sun God.
Well, just thinking about it made Jin laugh out loud, as it suddenly made Ace seem like such a clown. Using fire to block magma for the Sun God? Its absurdity was no less than Danzo trying to stab a Susanoo with a kunai.
'If Ace hadn't blocked for Luffy at the Summit War, he probably could have evolved into Nika two years earlier.'
…
By the time Jin returned to the Konoha's army camp, the sun was almost up the next day.
"Where did you go?" Tsunade asked irritably upon seeing the familiar figure.
"Went to see your grandfather's old flame," Jin said with a mischievous smile.
"Huh?" Tsunade immediately showed confused look.
"Don't worry, don't worry. Sit down, and I'll tell you slowly." Jin didn't plan to hide this. He lay down comfortably on Tsunade's lap as usual and recounted yesterday's events in detail.
"Uchiha... Madara? No way... Everyone knows he was killed by my grandfather at the Valley of the End back then. And... and if he's still alive, how... how old would he be?!"
After listening, Tsunade was completely stunned. This kind of thing was truly shocking.
"A forbidden technique known only to a very few within the Uchiha Clan: Izanagi. But what I'm more curious about is how he restored sight to that blinded eye," Jin shrugged.
"Does... does he want to do something to the Senju Clan?" Tsunade asked, still shaken.
After all, the world knew about the rivalry between Hashirama and Madara. Tobirama also had significant conflicts with Madara.
"Relax, that guy holds no more grudges against the Senju Clan. Even if he were to strike, it would be against Konoha or even the entire Ninja World."
"Isn't that even worse?!" Tsunade said exasperatedly.
"It doesn't matter. I'll handle it," Jin said nonchalantly.
Normally, he didn't like to meddle. But Jin didn't agree with Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan. Everything he wanted could be obtained in reality, so why would he choose to go to an illusory Genjutsu World?
'Only a desperate simp like Obito, who couldn't get his goddess, would place his hopes in such an illusory world.'
'Speaking of which, I had always found it strange. If that guy Obito liked Rin so much, why didn't he just use the Rinne Rebirth to revive her directly? Why go through all those flashy complications?'
