Chapter 90 - 90: Madara's Decision
After hearing Hashirama's words, Madara instantly became lively, his eyes gleaming with nostalgia as he began recounting the past. "Hashirama, your guess was absolutely right. I didn't die back then, and I left behind a series of plans! If not for this chat group, I would have been resurrected in the future and completed the Project Tsukuyomi, finally bringing true peace to the world!"
"And after that, I would have revived you so you could witness with your own eyes that our dream had finally been realized."
"But now, with the appearance of this chat group, I've come to realize that the Project Tsukuyomi isn't as important as I once thought. Every day, I get to see you and my brother again. Hashirama, do you know? This is only the second time in my life that I've felt such inner peace. The first time was when we built the village together."
"More importantly, my strength has improved tremendously! Do you still remember our battle at the Valley of the End? During that fight, I actually bit off a piece of your flesh....." Madara suddenly paused before gripping his shirt and tearing it off, revealing a tattoo of Hashirama's face on his chest.
Upon seeing this, Hashirama raised a shaky hand and pointed at the tattoo, his voice filled with disbelief. "Madara... have you lost your mind?! You actually have my face tattooed on your chest?!"
Madara's lips twitched in frustration. His expression darkened as he replied, "Can't you take this seriously for once? Is it really that hard for you to focus? Stop coming up with those ridiculous thoughts and just listen to what I'm saying!"
"Oh, Alright, alright, go on." Hashirama quickly straightened his posture, nodding as if he were a diligent student.
Madara took a deep breath before asking, "Where was I?"
"You just said you had my face tattooed on your chest!"Hashirama replied, pointing directly at his chest.
Madara's eyebrow twitched violently as he shouted back, "That's not a tattoo, you fucking idiot!! Those are your cells! After implanting your cells, my Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan evolved into something entirely new."
His voice dropped to a more serious tone as he continued, "It's called the Rinnegan, the same legendary eyes as the Sage of Six Paths!"
Hearing this, Hashirama's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement. "Madara! Let me see it! Show me those ring eyes!"
Madara's temple throbbed in anger. "It's called the Rinnegan, not 'ring eyes,' you absolute moron!"
"I know, I know! Just let me see it already!" Hashirama urged impatiently.
Madara sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead before finally giving in. With a slight shift, his eyes changed from the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to a pair of Rinnegan.
Hashirama examined them closely, his brows furrowing. "So these are the 'Ring Eyes'? They don't look as badass as your Eternal Mangekyo."
Madara picked up a stone using Shinra Tensei and crushed it into dust to control his anger. "For the last time, it's Rinnegan, not 'Ring Eyes'!"
Hashirama quickly nodded, mimicking a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yeah, yeah! Rinnegan, not Ring Eyes! I got it! So, what's next? What exactly is this 'Project Tsuki no Me' of yours?"
Exhaling heavily, Madara picked up a pebble and casually tossed it into the water. "In short, these eyes gave me a way to return from the dead. I left my Rinnegan behind in the world of living. After I get resurrected, my plan is to gather all the Tailed Beasts and become the Jinchuriki of the legendary Ten-Tails. Then, I would cast an illusion over the entire world, placing everyone in an eternal dream"
As Madara finished explaining, Hashirama nodded slowly, his expression blank and unreadable. "So... that's your plan?"
Madara narrowed his eyes. "Do you understand it now?"
"Of course!" Hashirama replied with a straight face. "Isn't it just about working together with you?"
"You fucking idiot!"

The two sat in silence for a long while, neither speaking first. But, as expected, Hashirama couldn't stay still for long.
"So... Madara, are you really going through with your plan?"
Madara crossed his arms and leaned back, responding in his usual roundabout manner.
"When you came to get me just now, didn't the fact that I followed you here already say enough?"
Hearing those words, Hashirama's eyes lit up with excitement. "Madara! Are you really giving up on your plan?!"
"Since you've decided to train Makoto, I'll join you. Just like when we built Konoha together. Besides, the most important thing right now is this chat group... I still can't figure out what kind of existence it truly is."
The moment those words left his mouth, Hashirama practically leaped onto Madara's back.
"Madara! I knew you were the best!! This time, we'll definitely bring true peace to the world!"
"Get off me, you idiot! Stay away from me!"
"Nope, not happening! Not unless you show me your ring eyes again!"
"It's fucking 'Rinnegan'! You literally just called them 'Rinnegan' a moment ago! Why are you back to calling them 'Ring Eyes'?! Are you messing with me on purpose?!"
And just like that, the two of them started bickering by the river, just like they had in their childhood.
Meanwhile, back at Hashirama's home, Mito sat quietly on the bed.
With her Kagura's Inner Eye, nothing that happened at the duel grounds could escape her eyes. A small smile appeared on her lips as she murmured, "Hashirama... I hope this time, you and Madara can truly realize your dream."
The arrival of the chat group, along with Makoto's unexpected presence, had completely disrupted the original course of events, setting the story in an unforeseen direction.
Back in the real world, Makoto was sleeping soundly, completely oblivious to these changes.
