Uchiahmasters wrote: Madara's peace is a lie, but Naruto's peace is not everlasting I don't see why peace has to be absolutely everlasting. A thousand years ago war was the norm, peace nonexistent. Then some nine hundred years of fighting for the sake of fighting happened. Then some hundred years of revenge for revenge. Now, there is peace and people have stopped fighting unless a real good reason exists (i.e. Godlike beings trying to murder everyone or terrorist ninja). Even if in the future a war breaks out, as long as people remember the lesson of the 4th war -that revenge is pointless- it won't be fought to the degree these wars were fought before.

As to Madara's actual plan, i find it childish. Peace isn't achieved through the power of one man. It's achieved when people desire to cooperate, try to understand each other and share their pain and happiness. Madara's peace is as if you murdered everyone on the planet. If nobody's left to fight, you'd have everlasting peace as well. Putting everyone in a dream achieves nothing, it'll only lead to everyone dying inevitably, as they will stop getting kids while their bodies age.

Madara could've seen the whole Zetsu thing coming from a mile away exactly because of that. In any permanent dream people would no longer get children while their bodies atrophy.
