"What do you mean?"
"You know, wouldn't you want to revive your beloved little brother, Izuna?"
Lux pierced Madara's long-held desire.
As a brother, how could Madara not want to revive his brother?
Even in his wildest dreams!
Especially when Madara saw Tobirama hanging around Hashirama. He couldn't help but think of Izuna.
This was one of the reasons why he didn't want to see Tobirama.
Unfortunately, at this stage, as far as Madara knew, there was no ninjutsu in the entire ninja world that could truly revive the dead.
As for the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation discovered by Tobirama, it was not considered revival at all, it was purely polluting the souls of the deceased.
Madara couldn't possibly let Izuna become a puppet and be manipulated and played around with at will.
Therefore, after hearing that he could actually revive Izuna, he couldn't help but become excited.
"Can the Rinnegan really do that?"
Now Madara hadn't even obtained Hashirama's flesh and blood, and was still far from combining yin and yang powers to open the Rinnegan. Naturally, he didn't know the specific abilities of the Rinnegan.
"It can."
"What's the price?"
"The caster will lose their life."
"Is this the only price?"
"Yes."
Madara nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.
The price seemed very expensive, but he was clever enough to think of various ways to dodge it in a flash.
It was just sacrificing the caster's life. Who stipulated that the user had to do it themselves?
There were so many ninjas in the ninja world, so many criminals, so many death row inmates.
Was he afraid that he wouldn't find anyone to take advantage of?
The so-called ninjutsu, secret techniques, forbidden techniques. In the final analysis, they were just tools. How to use them all depends on whether the caster is smart enough.
The only difficulty was how to get the Rinnegan? Madara looked at Lux unconsciously.
In other words, seeing Lux's Rinnegan, his heart was ready to move.
Lux saw Madara's greed, so he said: "After Iwagakure Village is destroyed and all the Bijuu are captured, I can help you open the Rinnegan."
Madara's pupils shrank, and he stared at Lux in shock.
At this moment, he understood. Lux, trying to paint a bigger picture for himself again!
But he took the bait willingly and without regret!
As long as he could revive Izuna and save him, why not become the enemy of the entire ninja world.
"What is the success rate?"
"Almost 100 percent."
"What about the time?"
"In 15 years."
Lux assured him.
He had no experience in integrating yin and yang powers and cultivating the Rinnegan.
But there would be aging spots in the future!
It wasn't difficult for Lux to go to another world to obtain this experience and information.
Even as Madara, the reincarnation of Indra, it wasn't easy to combine the Rinnegan alone.
After the Final Valley Fight and the end of the Second Ninja World War, Jiraiya found Nagato who had been transplanted with the Rinnegan by Madara.
27 full years had passed!
This showed how difficult it was to cultivate the Rinnegan.
But this time was different, with Lux's support. Madara had a stable environment, sufficient resources, and rich experience, as long as Madara in this world was willing, he could definitely shorten the time it took him to combine the Rinnegan.
He might even be able to open the Rinnegan before Hashirama died.
At that time, with Madara's Rinnegan oppression, it was very likely that Konoha would be able to maintain peace for another twenty years after unifying the shinobi world.
This was Lux's true goal!
"..."
Madara was silent for a moment, his heart filled with joy and peace. 15 years was too long, he was eager to revive Izuna immediately.
But compared to the initial hopeless dream, waiting and working hard for 15 years seemed very cost-effective.
He wasn't afraid of hardship. He was worried that he had no hope and despair about the future.
Moreover, was it possible to combine the Rinnegan first?
"What if it doesn't work?" Madara finally asked cautiously.
Although Lux didn't seem to be lying, the matter of 'reversing life and death' was indeed beyond the imagination of a ninja, and no one could guarantee whether there would be accidents.
"If it fails, there is another Rinnegan that can be 'lent' to you to use." Lux promised grandly.
After all, renting the Rinnegan and using the Saṃsāra of Heavenly Life Technique wouldn't burden the eyes, so there was no pressure to rent it at all.
"Good!"
After Madara received his definite guarantee, he felt relieved.
His whole life felt much brighter.
No need to leave Konoha, no need to break up with Hashirama, and he had become the Second Hokage, and now there was more hope to revive Izuna.
A day ago, he couldn't imagine this scene!
"Last point, why are you willing to help me revive Izuna?"
Lux smiled slightly and asked: "Uchiha Madara, do you think you can manage Konoha well in the future?"
"..."
Madara was silent for a while, he was very aware of his level in this area.
"What about switching to Izuna?"
"If it were Izuna, he could definitely manage it well!"
Madara was very determined.
He was similar to Hashirama, maybe a little better at politics and managing the clan, but not much better.
He was purely a facade and the strongest thug belonging to the Uchiha Clan.
Previously, only with the help of Izuna, did the Uchiha barely manage to compete with the Senju.
There was no way to lead the Uchiha Clan to glory.
This led to the subsequent battle with the Senju, and the Uchiha suffered even more losses.
Madara almost became a loner, and no one in the entire Uchiha Clan was willing to follow him to death.
This was one of Madara's biggest shortcomings and weaknesses.
This shortcoming wasn't obvious at the moment.
But if Hashirama left in the future. After Madara successfully took the position of the Second Hokage, this shortcoming would become even greater.
Could he be expected to manage the entire Konoha, or the entire ninja world alone?
He couldn't even manage the Uchiha Clan, let alone the entire ninja world?
Was he expecting Tobirama to help him handle government affairs?
If they met every day, it would be nice if they didn't fight.
Therefore, reviving Izuna would also help Madara maintain the stability of the unified ninja world.
Of course, Lux wouldn't stop Madara from reviving Izuna, but he was still helping Madara achieve his long-cherished desire in a veiled way.
"So, you need Izuna!. Konoha in the future also needs Izuna!" Lux gave his own answer.
Madara understood and smiled wryly.
He took another gulp of Coke, trying to quench his thirst.
Without his little brother, he would be very miserable! Even the Uchiha Clan couldn't manage it well.
It seemed like it wasn't because Izuna needed him, but he needed Izunai more!
As for Lux's intentions?
It no longer mattered to Madara.
It was enough to be able to save Izuna and prove the falsehood of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"Okay, that's all for today."
Seeing his goal achieved, Lux didn't stay long.
"I look forward to your performance in three days. It's best to make the Uchiha dance famous again all over the world."
Madara was a little more confident and said in a dominant tone: "Hmph! You will see!"
