Naruto: Madara's Mark in Another World

When Madara Uchiha branded the final legacy onto his soul at the Valley of the End, Zhao Guibin had no idea that the words “Help me see this twisted world clearly” were the start of a game spanning lifetimes. He arrives in Konoha gravely wounded, carrying a fragment of Madara’s power and struggling to survive between Root’s pursuit and the Hokage’s protection. The sealing formulas that occasionally appear on his body make the Nine-Tails restless. His awakened bloodline makes the Sharingan tremble. And the medical team’s discovery of Hashirama Cells in his blood attracts the covetous attention of forces lurking in the shadows. The Great Fire Annihilation unleashed under threat of death, the afterimages left by his space-time Body Flicker, and the senjutsu earned by sacrificing both eyes at Ryūchi Cave: every step pushes him toward an even deeper abyss. “You’re hiding something more dangerous than a Tailed Beast.” Kakashi’s warning still rings in his ears. But when he is bound to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he finally understands that he was never a bystander. The Sage of Six Paths’ warning, the truth about Kaguya’s vessel, the threat of the Infinite Tsukuyomi… It seems Madara had planned all of it from the start. Bearing the accusation of murder, he struggles onward under the combined assault of the Akatsuki and the Allied Shinobi Forces. When he finally devours the Divine Eye and takes control of the Ten-Tails, he discovers an even older secret hidden behind it all. A century later, he returns to a changed ninja world that sees him as a devil bent on destroying the world. Then Kakashi’s dying words make everyone reconsider: “He extended my life by twenty years… The price was absorbing the Sharingan.” The textbooks erased him, but they could not erase the question: was he a devil who would destroy the world, or a god who chose to imprison himself?
