Just as discussions about Uchiha Madara were underway in the Night Raid's quarters, Uchiha Madara himself was soaring on the back of the White Bird, steadily approaching the Imperial Capital.
However, Uchiha Madara was feeling rather displeased throughout the journey.
He had initially hoped to add a few more members to the White Bird's lineage, but along the entire path, he hadn't encountered a single suitable or dangerous species that could serve as a summon. This was quite frustrating.
As his displeasure simmered, Uchiha Madara, seated on the White Bird's back, caught a distant glimpse of a massive city faintly appearing on the horizon.
That was the Imperial Capital of the Empire!
As they drew closer, and the outline of the Imperial Capital became clearer, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but squint his eyes in awe.
From above, looking down, this Imperial Capital... it was truly, truly magnificent!
Regardless of how thick and tall the city walls were, regardless of how numerous and splendid the buildings inside the Imperial Capital were, and regardless of its population, just considering the sheer area the Imperial Capital covered, Uchiha Madara estimated it spanned an unknown number of square kilometers; it was vast.
Comparing it to his own Yuin Village, Uchiha Madara felt as if his home village was a remote, rustic homestead.
This realization created no small impact on Uchiha Madara's heart.
Uchiha Madara sat on the White Bird's back, silently contemplating. From now on, his own Yuin Village must be developed and built to resemble this place.
As he pondered, the Imperial Capital drew ever nearer.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Uchiha Madara decided not to ride the White Bird ostentatiously into the city.
He patted the White Bird's back and grunted to it:
"Descend..."
The White Bird was obedient. It flapped its wings, swooped down onto the main road leading to the Imperial Capital, and landed.
On the road below, being close to the Imperial Capital, there were many carriages hastily transporting goods and pedestrians hurrying about.
Hearing the commotion from above, these people looked up to see a gigantic bird-type Danger Beast swooping down!
How could ordinary people contend with a Danger Beast? Everyone scattered like startled birds and beasts, frantically fleeing into the trees along the roadside.
The White Bird swooped down, landing on the road surface. It spread its wings like a set of stairs, allowing Uchiha Madara to step down, one foot after another, until he stood on the ground.
He patted the White Bird's wing feathers, and Uchiha Madara grunted, adding:
"Alright, this is far enough. Go. I will summon you if needed."
Nodding, the White Bird flapped its wings and rose with the wind, vanishing into the horizon in a few moments.
Uchiha Madara adjusted his clothes, his steps dignified, and headed towards the Imperial Capital.
After Uchiha Madara had gone far, the pedestrians who had been hiding in the roadside trees, having witnessed the entire event, finally dared to emerge.
Watching the direction Uchiha Madara had departed, these people, amidst their shock, couldn't help but gossip a little.
"That person just now, so incredibly powerful! He actually flew down on a Danger Beast!"
"Seeing how terrifying that Danger Beast was, could it be a Super Danger Beast?"
"To be able to subdue a Super Danger Beast, this person is certainly not simple. Could he be some important figure from the Imperial Capital?"
"Who knows! Hmph! What's the point of worrying about so much? It has nothing to do with us. Let's hurry on our way. If we dawdle any longer, we won't make it before the city gates close tonight!"
Uchiha Madara, who was being discussed by the pedestrians, had already moved at an extremely fast pace for several kilometers, until he reached the tall, massive city walls of the Imperial Capital. To avoid drawing attention, he slowed down to a normal pace.
The city gates of the Imperial Capital were equally tall and grand, captivating to behold.
However, Uchiha Madara still clearly felt that the Imperial Soldiers standing guard at the city gates, despite appearing to be properly on duty, were actually just lazing about, their attention completely diverted from their guard posts.
This had nothing to do with Uchiha Madara. They stood their guard, he walked his path.
Uchiha Madara walked straight through the city gates and entered the Imperial Capital.
After passing through the city gates, the scene inside instantly broadened. A vibrant tapestry of buildings and shops were densely packed, and crowds moved to and fro. It looked like a rare sight of prosperity and bustling activity in a flourishing age.
With a faint smile, Uchiha Madara walked leisurely deeper into the city, his hands in his pockets. He strolled and observed, taking in this atmosphere so different from the Ninja World.
Thanks to the large amount of gold he had confiscated from the higher echelons of the Revolutionary Army, Uchiha Madara was not short of money. He wandered around, and whenever he encountered a shop that piqued his interest, he spared no expense in spending lavishly.
One must admit, walking through the streets and alleys, gazing at the surrounding splendor and extravagance, spending the seemingly endless money in his pockets, and feeling the pervasive debauchery and gilded extravagance in the air, there was indeed a slightly ethereal, dreamlike sensation.
But Uchiha Madara was clear-headed.
This dazzling opulence and debauchery, this splendid extravagance, were all superficial, like colorful bubbles. Though beautiful, they shattered at a touch, and were extremely fragile.
This enormous city of the Imperial Capital, its true essence hidden beneath the surface, was not the outward display of splendor and extravagance, but the densely packed slums on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital, the impoverished families huddled in alley corners, rather than the wealthy nobles in their splendid, high-fashion attire.
But what did this have to do with Uchiha Madara?!
The rotten mess in his own world was already troublesome enough to resolve. Uchiha Madara truly had no mood to care about the suffering of the people in this world.
You might say Uchiha Madara was cold-blooded and selfish, but humans are just such creatures.
Besides, Uchiha Madara wasn't so bad. His Ninja World was plotting changes; his own world, he managed himself. As for this world, he stood by idly and observed.
Automatically disregarding the hardships of the people at the bottom, Uchiha Madara, with the money in his pocket, immersed himself in the most opulent parts of the Imperial Capital, indulging himself thoroughly.
One must admit, with Uchiha Madara's extraordinary temperament and aura, coupled with his seemingly inexhaustible money, he found himself highly regarded in such places!
However, Uchiha Madara still had his principles. He would not visit places of ill repute.
Nonsense! Having already found Esdeath, how could he possibly fancy those common women?
He indulged for almost an entire day. As the lamps began to glow, evening arrived.
The Imperial Capital at night was also brightly lit and bustling with noise. Uchiha Madara had truly enjoyed himself.
As it grew later, it was best to find a suitable place to stay.
