This guy was a boring man, but not a useless one.
Uchiha Madara confirmed this the first time they met.
Originally, he had no interest in dealing with him.
Uchiha Madara only needed to watch, and this guy would dance to his tune.
Inciting the Shinobi World War, weakening the power of the Five Great Nations, and paving the way for his subsequent plans.
However, right now, this guy was about to be beaten to death.
He didn't have to save him, but he had to.
To instigate the Shinobi World War, this man was indispensable; otherwise, who knew how long he would have to wait.
Uchiha Madara's time was running out.
This person had to stay on the stage and continue dancing.
But with Hanzō's power, it might not be enough.
Inside the dimly lit Japanese-style room, Hanzō opened his eyes.
The sound of pattering rain was in his ears; he was still in the Land of Rain.
Struggling to get up, Hanzō looked at Uchiha Madara.
"What's your plan?" Hanzō asked, feeling the new power within his body.
"Collect the nine Tailed Beasts to create the ultimate weapon, a power that can destroy a nation with a single blow, thereby deterring the Ninja World and bringing true peace," Uchiha Madara said.
"Since you are Uchiha Madara, why don't you execute this plan yourself?" Hanzō asked, puzzled. "If it were you, you would have the power to do such a thing, right?"
"Hmph, of course I can..." Uchiha Madara didn't finish his sentence.
My time is running out.
At most, five more years, and his bodily functions would completely fail, leading to death.
And going to war with the Five Great Nations would accelerate this death in battle.
He might even die in the middle of a fight.
This was also one of the important reasons why Uchiha Madara let Mushi-Hime go.
Those three were not opponents that could be dealt with simply by expending some effort.
And his time was very precious.
He needed time to select a successor.
And without weakening the Five Great Nations, Uchiha Madara felt that his successor might not be able to handle it.
It wouldn't be surprising if they were killed by the Five Great Nations.
Especially Konoha.
This time, he had already returned to Konoha once and read the last content on the clan's stone tablet.
The Eye of the Moon Plan.
As he left, he noticed the White Fang's squad.
Because this squad was very strange, Shihu's Parasitic Minute Bugs and Shiyū's Flamebug; he was sure he wasn't mistaken.
Using the terrifying Flamebug to cook was indeed a first for him.
And with such a configuration, Uchiha Madara wouldn't be surprised if they were said to be assassinating a Kage.
Not to mention the old monsters still alive in the Village, even these little monsters were not easy to deal with.
After following them all the way, he had only one thought.
Did that girl named Mushi-Hime discover something?
Whether it was the self-detonating dragonfly, or the Parasitic Minute Bugs and Flamebug, they were all baring their fangs and claws at him in a show of defiance.
Uchiha Madara was confident he could hide from the Byakugan and Sharingan, but he wasn't sure if he could hide from the bugs.
Because that girl was too abnormal.
Uchiha Madara had seen many monsters; during the Sengoku period, the clan heads of every Shinobi Clans were monsters cultivated with the full strength of their entire clan, and those with insufficient strength or talent had long since died.
But this kind of monster, Uchiha Madara was seeing for the first time.
To be honest, he was a little intimidated.
If they had met at the same age during the Sengoku period, Uchiha Madara estimated that his head would have been twisted off by this guy.
Then he made a move to test her.
This guy recognized him!
Although she didn't expose him directly.
Which meant this guy had discovered him long ago!
Uchiha Madara couldn't figure out where he had been exposed; it couldn't be that the entire Konoha was filled with her bugs and informants, could it?
And this feeling was confirmed when she fought Hanzō.
All sorts of strange bugs emerged endlessly; he was not unfamiliar with the Aburame clan's bugs; that old man Shiyū was beaten quite badly by him when he was young.
But an Mushi-Hime like this was a first; all sorts of terrifying bugs were concentrated on her alone, and she had an even more terrifying amount of Chakra than Hashirama.
That bug that forcibly extracted life to convert and transmit Chakra made his eyelids twitch.
Isn't this thing Hashirama's Slug?
And that's not even counting when this guy clapped her hands together.
Therefore, if he couldn't kill the opponent with one blow, and if they were to engage in a Chakra war, it was uncertain who would win.
Uchiha Madara was not sure what kind of bugs that guy could still bring out.
For example, Zhihao's Parasitic Giant Insects, Uchiha Madara was sure she absolutely had it!
And in terms of bug development, Mushi-Hime was stronger than those three old men; whether it was the Parasitic Minute Bugs or the Flamebug, they were far more terrifying than what Uchiha Madara had seen.
So, to what extent could she develop the Parasitic Giant Insects?
And the Parasitic Giant Insects was especially effective against Wood Release.
It devoured wood incredibly fast.
The Chakra-absorbing characteristic of Wood Release was difficult to take effect, and the Parasitic Giant Insects had no Chakra, so it burrowed into trees and ate them like noodles.
As long as a small section was hollowed out, the entire section of the tree would become useless.
And Wood Release itself had no defensive measures against this type of attack.
If it weren't for Zhihao's own insufficient strength, Hashirama's Wood Release would have met its true nemesis.
And the Slug's Sage Art, did she also know it?
Once Sage Mode was activated, Uchiha Madara was sure he would instantly go numb.
What kind of monster was this? She had developed the versatility of the Aburame clan to its extreme.
Towards the latter half of the battle, Uchiha Madara basically confirmed one thing.
This guy was guarding against him.
Whether it was her summoning a sea of bugs as reserve Chakra, or her battle with Hanzō, this point was revealed.
The outcome of the battle was decided the moment she neutralized Hanzō's poison.
Therefore, the act of summoning a large number of Flamebug was inherently abnormal.
Because it was unnecessary.
Hanzō was doomed.
And not only did she summon them, but she also deliberately maintained her state in the latter half of the battle, with the sea of bugs as a Chakra reserve.
This reserve was completely useless against Hanzō.
Her combat strategy also leaned towards having the other two girls take the lead.
If Hanzō hadn't chosen an underwater environment for the battlefield, which severely limited the combat power of the two girls,
It was questionable whether she would have even made another move.
And then, good heavens, he saw a flying humanoid bug.
As everyone knows, when you see one bug, it means there's a whole nest nearby.
And those two girls were also not simple; the girl from the clan posed no threat to him, although genjutsu was extremely tricky for others.
The one with the Byakugan was more threatening.
And that one was simply a simpleton.
With her fighting style, it wouldn't be surprising if she opened the Eight Gates at the slightest disagreement.
All in all, as an adult, there was no need to stoop to a child's level.
It's not worth it!
On the contrary, Uchiha Madara was now a bit unsure about the meaning of that sentence.
"Keep staring, and I'll gouge out your eyes."
Did that brat recognize the Rinnegan or not?
His eyes were on him now, Uchiha Madara was sure there was no problem.
But what about later?
Uchiha Madara was sure she had the guts.
Moreover, she keenly sensed his impending death and explicitly stated it.
So, Uchiha Madara felt that she didn't want to fight desperately with someone who was about to die.
Because it wasn't worth it!
Whenever he thought of this, Uchiha Madara's expression became a little grim.
Uchiha Madara never underestimated any opponent.
Especially an opponent who could beat a man like Hanzō black and blue.
After he died, it wouldn't be difficult to come back and beat Hanzō again.
Fortunately, he scared that brat away, otherwise...
Just on this point, if she didn't recognize him, Uchiha Madara would twist his own head off!
Uchiha Madara secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
He was originally in the shadows, and according to his previously envisioned plan, there should have been no problem.
But times had changed; he no longer had the advantage of being in the shadows, and if he followed the previous plan, he would probably lose terribly.
Finding someone to impersonate him or something would get him beaten to a pulp by that brat!
Fortunately, he discovered this point.
Hmph! Brat!
Uchiha Madara looked at Hanzō and said, "A man like you shouldn't die there; the Ninja World is waiting for you to change it."
"What kind of power is that?" Hanzō asked, "The Rinnegan?"
"A bit of insight," Uchiha Madara said proudly, "That's right."
