"Uchiha Madara!"
Baimu slowly spoke.
Tsunade's expression suddenly froze.
She blurted out, "That's impossible!"
What kind of joke is this?
You're being absurd!
Uchiha Madara, a guy who died so long ago, are you dragging him out to be a scapegoat? Also, Uchiha Madara is an ancestor of your Uchiha clan; is this how you treat him?
Tsunade believed Baimu was slandering, pushing the blame onto a dead man. And if you say that, I'd even suspect if you were behind it.
Although she didn't want to be so suspicious, Baimu's actions forced her to think that way.
Baimu said indifferently, "Nothing is impossible, because that is the truth. Uchiha Madara is not dead; he is still alive. Although he is barely clinging to life, the fact remains that he is alive."
"My grandfather is gone, how could Uchiha Madara be alive?" Tsunade didn't believe it, especially since it was all Baimu's own words, which weren't enough to convince her.
No evidence, no proof, impossible to believe.
Baimu explained, "The Uchiha have a secret technique called Izanagi. It's a ninjutsu that can rewrite reality, turning unfavorable events that occurred within a certain period into never having happened, and only making favorable events a reality. In the Battle of the Valley of the End, Uchiha Madara set up Izanagi beforehand, which allowed him to revive."
"That's too far-fetched; I don't believe it!" Tsunade grew agitated as she listened to Baimu, pacing back and forth inside the tent.
Baimu smiled slightly and said softly, "I'm an Uchiha, so do you believe me or not? This secret technique exists, and Uchiha Madara isn't dead. The reason he's controlling the Third Mizukage to come after me is probably because he thinks I'll ruin his plans."
"You'll ruin his plans?"
Tsunade's eyes held a hint of pity as she looked at Baimu and said, "Let's not talk about whether Uchiha Madara is alive or not. If he really is alive, would he be afraid of you? Would he even care if you ruined his plans? That's Uchiha Madara. Is there something wrong with your head?"
Given the terrifying strength of her grandfather and Uchiha Madara, how could Tsunade not know?
She knew all too well.
Moreover, although Hashirama Senju passed away early, Tobirama Senju's doting on her was no less than Hashirama's. So, through osmosis, how could she not know the power of Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara?
Tsunade knew very well, which is why she understood that if Uchiha Madara were truly alive, then no one in the entire ninja world could stop him from doing anything. Therefore, what Baimu said was simply not convincing.
Baimu's eyes were calm, as if he didn't notice the pity in Tsunade's gaze. He simply said, "He is alive, but wouldn't he be old after all these years? However, he has his own schemes and is secretly planning to find a proxy to carry out his revival plan after his death."
"Resurrection? Do you think that's possible?" Tsunade found it even more ridiculous. She didn't want to mock Bai Mu, but at this point, she had no choice.
Bai Mu chuckled, his gaze fixed on her clear, beautiful eyes. He said, "Rinnegan, you know about it, right?"
"What do you mean?" Tsunade couldn't help but frown slightly. She didn't quite understand what Bai Mu meant by bringing up the Rinnegan.
To this, Bai Mu continued to ask, "During the Second Great Ninja War, you, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya encountered a child with the Rinnegan in the Hidden Rain Village, didn't you?"
"How do you know that?" Tsunade blurted out, looking extremely surprised. She really hadn't expected Bai Mu to know so much.
Bai Mu's eyes slowly revealed the crimson Three Tomoe Sharingan, and the tomoe began to spin. The unfathomable ocular power instantly affected Tsunade.
Tsunade's vision blurred, and she found herself in a mysterious space. She realized she had fallen under a genjutsu.
This brat, he actually made me unable to resist.
She subconsciously tried to disrupt her Chakra, but found it completely useless. Her heart pounded with shock; just how far had this brat's Sharingan progressed?
What he displayed was a Three Tomoe, without any special patterns, not a Mangekyo Sharingan, yet this power was probably beyond even a Mangekyo.
If anyone understood the Uchiha best, it was Senju Tobirama. And Tsunade, influenced by Senju Tobirama, couldn't possibly be unaware of the Uchiha's power. So she clearly knew that Bai Mu's ocular power was not something an ordinary Sharingan possessed. But without the special pattern of a Mangekyo, Tsunade was very suspicious of whether Bai Mu had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Yet, such power wasn't something a normal Sharingan could have... It was contradictory, too contradictory!
Tsunade realized she had only been drawn into a genjutsu, and Bai Mu hadn't done anything out of line. So, after her anger and surprise, she naturally became curious about his intentions.
"What do you mean?"
Regarding Tsunade's question, Bai Mu slowly said, "I'm just letting you know the truth of the world! Because the real enemy is the Otsutsuki Clan from outside this world!"
Listening to Bai Mu's words, Tsunade was undoubtedly very bewildered. What in the world was the Otsutsuki Clan? It was complete nonsense. Are you trying to fool me?
"The Otsutsuki Clan? Where in the Ninja World is there an Otsutsuki Clan?"
Skepticism, still skepticism.
And Tsunade didn't think her skepticism was wrong.
Bai Mu smiled faintly and softly said, "So, your horizons are too narrow."
My horizons are narrow?
You really dare to say that.
Tsunade trembled with anger, her complexion visibly changing from green to pale.
She forced herself to calm down, then questioned, "I'm narrow-minded, then what about you? You're not narrow-minded, is that what you mean?"
You say I'm narrow-minded, so you're not, is that what you mean?
After all this talk, I finally understand.
You're just bragging about yourself!
"Don't be so agitated."
Bai Mu showed a gentle smile, softly soothing Tsunade, hoping her emotions wouldn't be so intense, as too much fluctuation could easily upset her.
"I'm not agitated!"
Tsunade snorted, her aura still strong.
Bai Mu's expression remained unchanged as he calmly stated, "The Uchiha and Senju both share a common ancestor, and that is Hagoromo Otsutsuki. And he has a name we are very familiar with, which is the Six Paths Sage!"
"You said the Six Paths Sage?"
Tsunade looked at Bai Mu in disbelief, shocked, and murmured, "The Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan share a common ancestor, and it's the Six Paths Sage?"
The question is, can that be believed?
She, at least, didn't quite believe what Bai Mu was saying; it felt too bizarre. It was simply because the Senju and Uchiha had been sworn enemies for a thousand years, with endless grievances between the two clans, born to fight and confront each other, harboring an inexplicable hatred that had lasted for a millennium.
But now, Bai Mu was actually telling her that the Senju and Uchiha actually came from the same ancestor, and that they were closely related?
No, are you kidding me?
Tsunade was very skeptical about this; she still harbored doubts and was unwilling to simply believe Bai Mu's words. This inherently evil Uchiha brat must have some ulterior motive!
