Ding! Detected that the soul of the reincarnated Uchiha Madara is being summoned by the power of his original world. Should it be prevented?
When Lin Xuan saw this Edo Tensei notification, his eyebrows raised slightly as he asked inwardly, System, are you saying that if I want to stop it, I can prevent Uchiha Madara from being reincarnated back?
Yes, host! The system gave a definitive answer.
Impressive! Lin Xuan praised inwardly, his mind already racing with possibilities. If I prevent Madara from being reincarnated back, the people in the Naruto world would probably be utterly confused, right?
However, doing so would also mean he wouldn't be able to observe the subsequent developments in the Naruto world, missing the opportunity to obtain DNA from its many powerful figures.
Better stick to the original plan.
With that in mind, Lin Xuan turned to Uchiha Madara and said, "Madara, you can feel it, right?"
Uchiha Madara nodded. "There's a force trying to pull me back to my original world."
Hashirama Senju's eyes lit up. "Has the final battle arrived?"
"Yes, it's time to initiate our plan," Lin Xuan confirmed.
Uchiha Madara, however, frowned. "But I haven't finished learning the Mafūba yet..."
Hashirama waved his hand dismissively. "No worries, I'll keep studying it! You go ahead and return. Stick to the plan!"
Since Lin Xuan hadn't intervened to stop it, Uchiha Madara could feel the summoning force growing stronger. He had no choice but to nod and say, "Fine, I'll go first. Hmph, Black Zetsu..."
With a muttered curse, Madara's body disintegrated into countless particles of dust. In a blinding flash of white light, his soul emerged and swiftly vanished.
Coincidentally, Gan Fall had just arrived at this moment and witnessed the scene.
"What just happened?! How did he suddenly disappear?!" Gan Fall stared in shock at the spot where Madara had vanished.
All that remained was the withered corpse of a pirate and scattered dust—an eerie sight.
Baffled, Gan Fall wanted answers, but Lin Xuan had no intention of explaining. Instead, he simply said, "It's nothing. Please dispose of this pirate's corpse."
Then, he turned to Hashirama and Master Roshi. "You two, keep working on the Mafūba."
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan himself closed his eyes, attempting to peer into the Naruto world through Madara's perspective.
Left standing awkwardly to the side, Gan Fall realized that neither Lin Xuan—deep in meditation—nor Hashirama and Roshi—engrossed in their discussion—were paying him any attention.
Still, he quickly ordered his subordinates to clean up the sacrificial corpse Madara had left behind.
It was then that he remembered his original purpose for coming here.
Clearing his throat, he spoke up. "That Navy Admiral, Aokiji, has returned to the Blue Sea!"
"Oh?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, though it made sense. "He probably realized he couldn't rescue the Celestial Dragons, so he took the chance to escape and report our intel back to Marine HQ."
Hashirama frowned. "Should we go after him?"
He hadn't forgotten that Aokiji was their former prisoner—one who had recently extracted a great deal of information from them.
Hashirama had been willing to share intel partly because he was confident Aokiji couldn't escape.
Now that the admiral had slipped away, he felt his pride stung.
Lin Xuan, however, shook his head with a smile. "No need. Let him go. Even if he takes our intel back, so what? He'll never know how many trump cards I still hold. I've set my sights on Sabaody Archipelago!"
Seeing Lin Xuan's indifference, Hashirama relaxed and resumed his Mafūba studies with Roshi.
Gan Fall, who had been listening, was inwardly reeling.
Though communication between Skypiea and the Blue Sea was sparse, he wasn't completely ignorant of the world below. At the very least, he knew of the Celestial Dragons and Sabaody Archipelago.
But what had he just heard?
It sounded like Lin Xuan had captured Celestial Dragons, and Admiral Aokiji had been trying—and failing—to rescue them!
He also recalled that when he first met Lin Xuan, the man had three hostages with him, though they later disappeared. Now, he had no idea where Lin Xuan had taken them.
Hearing Lin Xuan declare his intent to claim Sabaody only deepened Gan Fall's astonishment.
From the start, he had sensed something mysterious about Lin Xuan and his group. Now, that feeling was stronger than ever.
As an old man who had weathered life's ups and downs, he knew that some things were better left unknown. So, he asked no questions—but he didn't leave the shrine either, opting to stay and "host" Lin Xuan's group.
Lin Xuan paid him no mind, for at that very moment, Uchiha Madara had returned to the Naruto world—reincarnated through Edo Tensei!
Naruto World – A barren wasteland of jagged rock formations.
Boom!
Uchiha Madara burst out of the coffin, his sharp gaze sweeping the surroundings before settling on the bandaged figure before him.
Had Madara not been reincarnated into the One Piece world or seen the Naruto series Lin Xuan showed him, he wouldn't have recognized this man.
But now, he knew.
The Second Tsuchikage, Mū.
So, everything he showed me was real. Madara sighed inwardly.
Before being reincarnated, a sliver of doubt had lingered in his mind—was Lin Xuan truly capable of knowing the future of his world? Was Naruto really an accurate depiction?
But now, seeing the exact same scene as in the anime, he was utterly convinced.
Which meant Black Zetsu's betrayal… and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's existence… were also true.
Just then, a message appeared in his mind:
Lin Xuan has invited you to enable Vision Sharing. Accept?
A smirk tugged at Madara's lips.
