"Boom!"
With a sound like the sky and earth collapsing, the very space seemed unable to withstand the immense energy and began to tremble violently.
Looking at Uchiha Madara's location, a colossal giant had appeared in everyone's sight.
The blue-glowing giant, clad in armor and wearing a Tengu mask, with wings on its back and wielding a greatsword, was terrifying simply by standing there.
The air seemed to be compressed madly in that instant, and everyone felt breathless.
At that moment, only one word surfaced in everyone's minds.
God!
"Ding! SSS-rank Dōjutsu: Susano'o Complete Form (Uchiha Madara) has been added to the skill library. Warning: This skill consumes an extreme amount of chakra and requires cautious use!" Lin Nan was stunned by the system's announcement.
This was the first time he had heard the system issue a warning after replicating a skill.
Before this complete Susano'o, the equally massive cement giant had been completely overshadowed.
The cement giant was merely composed of inorganic matter, while Susano'o was a product of chakra and dōjutsu, utterly incomparable.
The distance between them was only ten meters, but their aura was worlds apart.
How could a firefly dare to contend with the radiant moon?
It was simply a dimensional reduction attack.
Lin Nan looked at the colossal Susano'o, and while immensely awestruck, he also showed a hint of admiration.
Neither in anime nor in manga had he witnessed such a spectacle firsthand.
This was truly a work of art.
A gift from heaven.
Lin Nan had initially thought his cement giant was sufficient to withstand the complete Susano'o, but now it seemed like a fool's dream.
Uchiha Madara, within the complete Susano'o, looked at Lin Nan and slowly spoke, "This is the peak of my life. Lin Nan, you have the ability to copy. Can you copy this move?"
Lin Nan remained silent, like everyone else, looking up at the terrifying power with an inability to look away.
Uchiha Madara was very satisfied with this attitude.
After all, this was power comparable to a god, the entirety of Uchiha Madara's pride in his lifetime.
Of course, all of that vanished upon encountering "that man."
But in this era, he could unleash his full might, dance wildly in this world, unbound by anyone, and be answerable to no one.
Here, he was the master.
And in the near future, he would be the creator.
Of course, this was what Uchiha Madara initially thought, until he met a freak.
When someone could easily possess all of your strengths, anyone would harbor resentment.
But what kind of person was Uchiha Madara?
Though not exactly broad-minded, if this person could be recruited and not be an obstacle, and could make his future path twice as effective, why not?
Most importantly, Lin Nan was an Edo Tensei resurrected, having died young, surely burdened by resentment and obsessions; and difficult to kill.
Uchiha Madara believed this was a prerequisite for manipulation.
"Lin Nan, though you may deny it, we are indeed of the same kind. Even if our temperaments are different, both my Sharingan and your Sharingan are gifts from destiny. We were born superior. Therefore, we should return this so-called gift to destiny and bring about a comprehensive transformation to this world, bringing about absolute stability. Isn't that what we should do?"
Uchiha Madara then addressed Lin Nan, his divine pressure still making it impossible to look up.
Lin Nan looked at Uchiha Madara with a complex expression.
This guy doesn't think my ability comes from the Sharingan, does he?
Well, he's not the first to think that.
This was Lin Nan's thought, but in the eyes of others, he seemed to be suppressed by the colossal being before him.
"Don't listen to him, Lin Nan, it's just his persuasion!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth, looking at Uchiha Madara, her body unable to restrain itself from wanting to attack him.
Complete Susano'o? He wasn't afraid of it at all!
Lin Nan, however, stopped Tsunade and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're a conspiracy theorist, aren't you? Everything is within your control, and everyone else is your pawn, disposable."
"What do you want to say?" Uchiha Madara looked at Lin Nan expressionlessly.
Lin Nan smiled, "So, is there any need for me to be your pawn?"
Uchiha Madara shook his head, "The God of Shinobi, Hashirama, whom you speak of, once said something that can answer your question: For the sake of righteousness and the correct path, what is there to hesitate about sacrificing one's children, lovers, siblings, and relatives?"
"Also, I am not a conspiracy theorist, there are no conspiracies or tricks. As long as the result is correct, the process does not matter; what I do is not for myself, but for the greater good!"
Uchiha Madara declared his immeasurably inflated ambition to the Five Kage and Lin Nan.
"Is Uchiha Madara's revival something he planned himself?" Onoki, having lived through two eras, was now utterly shocked.
"I'm afraid his ambitions are far more insane than we imagine!" Gaara's expression was grim.
"Insane? Watch me give him a 'duck neck' and finish it!" Raikage A's beard bristled...
Lin Nan chuckled and shook his head, "Then, according to you, you want me to be your pawn now, someone you can abandon at any time?"
Uchiha Madara looked at Lin Nan deeply and said in a low voice, "Pawn? If you only think of it that way, then I am truly disappointed in you!"
"Oh? How so?" Lin Nan found Uchiha Madara's "mouth escape" quite skillful.
He had originally thought that only Obito of the Uchiha clan was good at "mouth escape," and the others just fought directly, not wasting words.
Even if they spoke, it was usually to show off.
Uchiha Madara pointed at Tsunade, "You and her, what is your relationship?"
This question momentarily stunned both Lin Nan and Tsunade.
What relationship? Siblings? Friends?
Fortunately, before Lin Nan could answer, Uchiha Madara pointed at Gaara, "And him? What is your relationship with him?"
Lin Nan glanced at Gaara.
If he had to say, an enemy.
Lin Nan hadn't expected Gaara to be so friendly towards him. In fact, Lin Nan wasn't very familiar with him, yet Gaara was one of the culprits responsible for his first death.
But later, his corpse was indeed handed over to Naruto by Lin Nan; that was true.
Uchiha Madara did not wait for Lin Nan's answer either and directly said, "Lover and friend? Then, what do you think is the bridge that connects the relationship between lovers and friends?"
"Bridge?"
"Lover?"
Lin Nan and Tsunade each seized upon a different key point.
"Why aren't you pointing at me?" Mei Terumi asked resentfully.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
