Underground Base beneath the Kannabi Bridge.
Uchiha Nian held the corners of his clothes with both hands, lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the bluestone floor under his feet, looking rather apprehensive.
Today was the day he would meet that legendary ninja of the Uchiha, for the first time.
"Considering the time, you've been by my side for some days now. This trip to the Land of Whirlpools, you performed well. It's time for you to meet Lord Madara."
Kamihane said this in the laboratory of Three Wolves Mountain, and cast an inquiring look at Uchiha Hikari on the opposite side.
"Hikari, what do you think?"
"I have no objections." Hikari put the Flame Fan back on her back, her beautiful eyes gently sizing up Uchiha Nian, "Nian is a good-hearted child, and I like him. I believe Lord Madara won't dislike him."
Kamihane stroked his chin, "That's what I think too. Letting him follow Lord Madara, learn more, see more, can't be wrong."
"Yes, for Lord Madara, it may not be a bad thing either, he can have someone to accompany him..."
In this way, under the two's few words, Nian was brought to the base at Kannabi Bridge by a portal in the blink of an eye, and stood firmly in the base.
His heart was a little excited. It should be known that in his uncle's heart, the legendary "Lord Madara" accounted for a considerable proportion. This meant that he had only truly gained his approval now!
What came into view was a spacious stone chamber. Compared to the brightly lit laboratory, the light here was slightly weak, so the surroundings were very dark, but there was no cold and humid feeling. On the contrary, it was warm.
The floor was a kind of hard stone surface, not very smooth, but full of a simple and old atmosphere. The room had all kinds of wooden furniture, complete with everything. A clan banner 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 master bedroom, and a pair of legs.
At the thought that this was Uchiha Madara himself, a bit of fear rose in his heart. He quickly lowered his head, his eyes wandering around, but he avoided the location of the stone chair like snakes and scorpions, not daring to cross the line even a little bit.
"Lord Madara, this is my nephew, Uchiha Nian."
Kamihane took the lead to speak, his tone casual, "After more than a year of my observation, 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 visual prowess is very interesting."
"Hmph, so I need to thank you now?"
The old Madara's tone was a little strange, obviously full of resentment. "Lord Kamihane is busy with everything, and still remembers that he has a teacher. Your filial piety is really touching."
"Look at what you said, I'm also considering the safety of you, Lord Madara. You should praise me for being prudent..."
Kamihane waved his hand, not caring about Madara's sarcasm, and said: "Without enough testing, how could I casually stuff people around you? I don't want to experience the betrayal of relatives again."
Nian subconsciously leaned towards his uncle, but to his surprise, Kamihane went straight over, sat next to Madara and asked for tea.
He immediately turned his eyes to his aunt for help, but Uchiha Hikari seemed to be back home, took off the Flame Fan, tied up a light cyan apron, and left without even saying hello, running to the kitchen to cook.
Uchiha Madara didn't react either, and seemed to have acquiesced to this behavior.
Nian only felt amazed. These three people brought the spirit of "Guests Follow the Host's Lead" to the fullest.
The guests were very easy-going, and the host was very casual.
"Raise your head, let me see."
Madara's majestic voice came from the front, and Nian could only take a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and finally saw clearly what the person in front of him looked like for the first time.
The man leaned gently on the back of the chair, his posture quite domineering. A pair of slightly demonic red-and-white heterochromatic eyes, and a waterfall of long hair mixed with strands of silver hair. Although his appearance was no longer young, and fine wrinkles added a touch of vicissitudes to him, his deep eyes were like reflecting the sky, evolving all the phenomena of the world.
"Uchiha Nian, I have met Lord Madara."
He bowed slightly, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"The demeanor is good, but the strength is a bit weak." Madara gave his comment.
Kamihane said, "Nian, come over and offer a cup of tea, and follow Lord Madara from now on."
Nian immediately did as he was told, raised the teacup, and as the slightly warm tea poured into the cup, a plume of hot air rose with it, and Madara's profile, which had always been calm, also slightly showed a smile.
He picked up the teacup and slowly took a small sip, and the ceremony was completed.
Soon, a burst of scallion fragrance floated into the stone chamber from the kitchen. Nian's nose moved, and his stomach had already started to make "gurgling" sounds.
"Aunt is not only young and beautiful, and powerful, but I didn't expect her cooking skills to be excellent too..." Nian inhaled contentedly, a little yearning in his eyes, "In the future, I will also be like my uncle, and find a girl who is good in the hall and good in the kitchen to be my wife..."
Just thinking about it, Madara's voice suddenly came from beside him:
"Nian, I'm giving you your first task."
"Yes!" Nian immediately held his breath and put all his attention.
"Go to the kitchen now, and tell Hikari, no carrots today." Madara said with a serious face.
"Yes... huh?" Nian suddenly froze. He wouldn't have hesitated at all if Lord Madara's serious expression had told him to assassinate the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
But... carrots...?
Kamihane urged from the side, "Go quickly, this is really important."
"Oh oh, okay."
After Nian pushed the door out, Madara also slowly looked at Kamihane.
"So, can I think that the Uzumaki clan is now completely under your control?"
"It's not to that extent. They just gave a promise to help me suppress the 'Karma'." Kamihane smiled lightly, "As for the result, we can only wait silently."
Madara showed a thoughtful expression, "With the Uzumaki clan's sealing technique skills, it probably won't take too long..."
"Not necessarily. The power of the Ōtsutsuki has exceeded our ninja's knowledge." Kamihane took a sip of tea. "It's good to be prepared in advance, so it's convenient to deal with them in the future."
"Planning ahead, not bad." Madara silently clenched his fist. "No matter what Ōtsutsuki, or god, as long as they dare to block the path to peace, then kill them all!"
Madara calmed his mind for a while, 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 critical moment."
"Lord Madara, this time I'm taking the initiative." Kamihane showed a meaningful smile.
Four days ago, a monster with a black cloth covering his face, a burly figure, and black tendrils protruding from his body, stood in front of the Second Kazekage Shamon.
Feeling the monster's strange aura, the ninjas were suddenly faced with a formidable enemy, but the expected battle did not begin. The strong man just dropped a head and left.
The red hair was dirty and messy, and the expression was hideous. It was Uzumaki Retsu.
