Chapter 196 is Love!
Souji, completely unconcerned, openly admitted that he had cheated.
Anyway, no one else could understand what he was saying.
And that was indeed the case; Madara couldn't understand it, so he simply ignored these nonsensical words.
Madara took off the Uchiha fan from his back and faced Souji head-on.
The Flame Fan, also known as the Uchiha Fan, is a weapon passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan.
It is made from a part of the Ten-Tails God Tree and is not only extremely sturdy and powerful in itself, but also has the characteristic of deflecting attacks.
If attacks made of chakra, like Susanoo, are ineffective, then attack head-on with physical strength.
Madara, a legendary figure on par with Hashirama, is not someone who relies solely on the Sharingan.
He is equally fearless in a direct confrontation using physical skills.
Souji looked at Madara coming straight at him and sighed slightly.
"I'm sorry..."
"Although it was hasty, but..."
"Please end this here."
Souji threw a kunai at Madara.
As always, Kunai flew straight toward its target with simple simplicity.
Madara instinctively sensed something was wrong with the kunai, and considering its previous performance, he dared not be careless.
He immediately waved his Flame Fan, attempting to use the Uchiha Reflection technique to return whatever secret techniques the kunai might have to Mochizuki Souji.
However, the moment the flame fan struck the kunai.
The fan, made from a part of the sacred tree, was pierced through by a kunai on the spot!
"What! How is that possible!?"
Madara's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief.
The Uchiha clan's heirloom, which survived even the fierce battle with Hashirama...
How could it possibly be destroyed by a kunai like that!
Before, Madara was just surprised, but now he can hardly believe it!
Even Madara, who had experienced countless battles and witnessed all sorts of incredible things, couldn't believe it at this moment and was so shocked that he was somewhat dazed.
Although it was only a momentary lapse in concentration, the kunai was already upon him.
"this..."
Madara stared intently at the kunai flying towards him.
Even he couldn't avoid it in time, and...
There is a certain indescribable power hidden within the sutra!
This force made him feel suppressed, as if his reactions had become sluggish, his thinking had become slow, and he was unable to take effective countermeasures.
He could only watch helplessly as the kunai drew ever closer.
This is the power that can kill him!
"I...I'm going to die!?
How is that possible!"
"I've been secretly plotting for so many years, and everything was going smoothly, getting closer and closer to success..."
"Because of Mochizuki Souji, my plans were ruined, rendering all my preparations useless..."
"He even managed to kill me!?
Kill me in my Edo Tensei state!?"
finally.
"ah!"
The kunai pierced the freckled man's chest.
The bodies of the dead, reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation, should be infinitely regenerating, immortal and indestructible.
But the moment the kunai pierced his chest, Madara's body began to collapse rapidly!
"Damn it... Eye of the Moon... Infinite Tsukuyomi... I want to create a perfect world..."
"Hashirama..."
Madara spoke with a regretful voice, calling out Hashirama's name. In the blink of an eye, his soul was completely obliterated by the law of causality, and his resurrected body turned into a pile of dust.
Madara Uchiha, a legendary figure in the ninja world.
Even if one returns to the human world using the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation, one still cannot escape death under the absolute power of the law of cause and effect.
Souji looked at the scattered dust and sighed with deep regret.
"Uchiha Madara, what a pity..."
"You are indeed an extraordinary person with a very broad perspective."
"But letting everyone be forever immersed in a beautiful dream is not living at all.
It would be better to simply exterminate everyone."
"To freeze life in a false fantasy is simply to escape."
"Why can't a man like you understand?"
"Perhaps, this is love..."
Souji was quite moved.
Yes, it's love!
Despite Madara's aloofness and apparent indifference towards everyone except Hashirama, he remained aloof.
In reality, the Uchiha clan is a group full of love, and Madara is no exception.
As mentioned earlier, if the goal is simply to end everything, then killing everyone would suffice.
Compared to the complex Eye of the Moon plan, annihilating everyone would be far simpler.
In an era without Hashirama, no one could stop him.
However, Madara chose the much more difficult Eye of the Moon plan.
Why?
Because the Eye of the Moon Project aims to give everyone beautiful dreams, not simply death.
If this isn't love, then what is it?
This is a choice only someone with a heart full of love for the world would make!
Unfortunately, Madara is not someone who can be persuaded; only brute force can stop him.
Souji couldn't help but feel regretful that he had to kill a man like Madara completely.
"well..."
With a sigh, Souji casually tossed a kunai aside once more.
"Hiss! What kind of power is this!?"
Black Zetsu let out a terrified scream, detached itself from the White Zetsu it possessed, and frantically tried to escape.
However, even Madara couldn't escape the kunai, so how could Black Zetsu possibly escape?
As soon as Black Zetsu landed on the ground, the kunai arrived and pinned him to the ground with a single blow.
The moment the kunai pierced Black Zetsu, it instantly obliterated him.
At the last moment, Black Zetsu was gripped by extreme terror.
"What... what kind of power is this!
I am the child of the great progenitor Kaguya!
How could I, created by my mother's supreme power, be killed by such a lowly mortal!"
"Impossible! It can't be possible!"
Black Zetsu's consciousness was instantly annihilated by the power of causality.
However, Souji threw away his kunai and didn't even bother to look at Black Zetsu.
It's just a low-level life form that Kaguya casually created; compared to Madara, it's completely worthless.
After mourning Madara's death, Souji looked at Orochimaru, who was stunned and speechless upon witnessing Madara's simple death.
"Orochimaru, you may have heard of me, but I am now the Fourth Hokage."
"I can roughly guess what you've been doing all this time and why you've been with Uchiha Madara, so there's no need to say more now."
"I just have one question: the ninja world is about to usher in a new era.
Will you... be able to live a law-abiding life and contribute to this new era?"
Upon hearing Souji's voice, Orochimaru snapped out of his daze, forced a smile, and replied in his usual hoarse voice:
"No problem. Since you have such amazing power, I naturally won't do anything..."
"are you sure?"
Souji asked calmly:
"Orochimaru, you are also an extraordinary person. Don't try to fool me with empty lies. Tell me the truth.
Can you live a law-abiding life from now on?"
"..."
Orochimaru's smile vanished, and he looked at Souji with a serious expression.
