Kannabi Bridge, underground base.
Uchiha Nen clasped his hands, hanging his head low, his eyes fixed on the bluestone floor beneath his feet, looking rather apprehensive.
Today was the day he would meet that legendary Uchiha Ninja for the first time.
"Counting the time, you've been by my side for a while now. Your performance during this trip to the Land of Whirlpools was also good. It's time to let you meet Lord Madara."
Inside the laboratory of Three Wolf Mountain, Shin'yu said as he cast an inquiring look towards Uchiha Hikari opposite him.
"Light, what do you think?"
"I have no objections." Light reslung the Blaze War Fan on her back, her beautiful eyes lightly sizing up Uchiha Nen. "Nen is a good-hearted child. I find him pleasing to the eye, and I believe Lord Madara won't dislike him."
Shin'yu stroked his chin. "That's what I think too. Letting him follow Lord Madara, learn more, and see more, can't be wrong."
"Yes, for Lord Madara, it may not be a bad thing either, to have someone to keep him company..."
Just like that, in the few words of the two, in the blink of an eye, Nen was brought to Kannabi Bridge by the portal, standing firmly in the base.
He was a little excited in his heart, knowing that in Grand Uncle's heart, the legendary "Lord Madara" accounted for a significant proportion, which meant that he had only now truly gained his approval!
What came into view was a spacious Stone Chamber. Compared to the well-lit laboratory, the light here was slightly pale, so the surroundings were dark, but there was no feeling of cold dampness. On the contrary, it was warm.
The floor was some kind of hard stone surface, not very smooth, but full of a simple and old atmosphere. The room was fully equipped with all kinds of wooden furniture, and a Clan Flag with the Uchiha crest was hung on the wall.
Following his gaze, he continued to scan forward and soon saw the huge Stone Chair located in the very center of the main room, and a pair of legs.
At the thought that this was Uchiha Madara himself, a little timidity arose in his heart, and he quickly lowered his head, his eyes darting around, but he avoided the location of the Stone Chair like a venomous snake, not daring to cross the line in the slightest.
"Lord Madara, this is my Nephew, Uchiha Nen."
Shin'yu spoke first, in a casual tone, "After more than a year of my investigation, this kid has no problems. He has become someone who can be completely entrusted and trusted."
"Oh?" A deep voice came from the front, "You want to hand him over to me?"
"Not hand him over to you, but send him to accompany you, to relieve your boredom. This kid's Eye Technique is quite interesting."
"Hmph, so now I need to thank you?"
Old Madara's tone was a bit strange, obviously with a lot of resentment, "Lord Shin'yu is very busy, but still remembers that he has a Master. Your filial piety is truly touching."
"Look at what you're saying, I'm also considering your safety, Lord Madara. You should praise me for being prudent..."
Shin'yu waved his hand, facing Madara's sarcasm, and said indifferently, "Without sufficient Trial, how could I casually stuff people around you? I don't want to experience the betrayal of a loved one again."
Nen subconsciously leaned closer to Grand Uncle, but who would have thought that Shin'yu would walk directly over and sit next to Madara to ask for tea.
He immediately turned his eyes to Aunt for help, but Uchiha Hikari seemed more like she was back home, taking off the Blaze War Fan, tying up a light blue apron, and leaving without even saying hello, running to the kitchen to cook.
Uchiha Madara didn't react much, and seemed to have acquiesced to this behavior.
Nen could only sigh in admiration. These three people were bringing the spirit of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" to the fullest.
The guest was very easy-going, and the host was very casual.
"Raise your head and let me see."
Ahead, Lord Madara's dignified voice echoed, and Nen could only take a deep breath, slowly raising his head, finally seeing the person before him clearly for the first time.
The man leaned gently against the back of the Stone Chair, his posture quite domineering, a pair of slightly demonic Red and White Heterochromatic Eyes, waterfall-like long hair mixed with strands of silver. Although his appearance was no longer young, the fine wrinkles added a touch of vicissitudes, but his deep gaze seemed to reflect the firmament, evolving All Things in Nature.
"Uchiha Nen, greetings, Lord Madara."
He bowed slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"The demeanor is not bad, it's just that the strength is a bit weak." Lord Madara gave his comment.
Shin'yu said, "Nen, come and offer a cup of tea, and follow Lord Madara from now on."
Nen immediately did as he was told, raising the teacup. As the warm tea flowed into the cup, wisps of heat rose with it, and Lord Madara's usually indifferent profile also revealed a slight smile.
He picked up the teacup and slowly took a small sip, thus completing the ceremony.
Soon, the aroma of scallions wafted from the kitchen into the Stone Chamber. Nen's nose twitched, and his stomach had already begun to rumble.
"Aunt is not only young and beautiful, and powerful, but I didn't expect her cooking skills to be superb too..." Nen took a satisfied breath, a hint of longing in his eyes, "In the future, I will also be like Grand Uncle, find a girl who is good in the hall and good in the kitchen to be my wife..."
Just as he was thinking, Lord Madara's voice suddenly came from beside him:
"Nen, I'll give you your first task."
"Yes!" Nen immediately held his breath and concentrated his attention.
"Go to the kitchen now and tell Uchiha Hikari not to eat carrots today." Lord Madara said with a solemn expression.
"Yes... huh?" Nen was suddenly stunned. With the serious expression Lord Madara had just had, he wouldn't have hesitated at all if he had been told to assassinate the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
But... carrots...?
Shin'yu urged from the side, "Go quickly, this is really important."
"Oh, oh, okay."
After Nen pushed the door out, Lord Madara slowly looked at Shin'yu.
"So, can I assume that the Uzumaki Clan is completely under your control?"
"It's not quite to that extent. They just gave me a promise to help me suppress the 'Karma'." Shin'yu smiled lightly, "As for the result, we can only wait silently."
Lord Madara revealed a thoughtful expression, "With the Sealing Technique attainments of the Uzumaki Clan, it probably won't take too long..."
"Not necessarily, the power of the Otsutsuki Clan has already exceeded our Ninja's understanding." Shin'yu took a sip of tea, "Preparing in advance will also make it easier to deal with them in the future."
"Being prepared is good." Lord Madara clenched his fists silently, "No matter what Otsutsuki Clan or god, as long as they dare to block the Path to Peace, they will all be killed!"
Lord Madara calmed his mind for a while, then turned his head and smiled, "However, this time your plan for the Uzumaki Clan, why does it look a little familiar to me?"
"Sitting back and watching their crisis, and then helping them at the last moment."
"Lord Madara, this time I took the initiative to attack." Shin'yu revealed a meaningful smile.
...
Four days ago, a monster with a black cloth covering its face, a burly figure, and black line tentacles emerging from its body, blocked the Second Wind Shadow, Shamon.
Feeling the person's strange aura, the Ninja were immediately on alert, but the expected battle did not begin. The strong man simply dropped a head and tunneled away.
The red hair was dirty and messy, and the expression was ferocious. It was Uzumaki Lie.
