Uchiha Madara quietly levitated above Uzushiogakure, looking down at the village.
The current Uzushiogakure, in terms of prosperity, population, and liveliness, was far beyond what the small shinobi village of the past could compare to. If it weren't for the different surrounding terrain, one might even mistake Uzushiogakure for Konoha.
It seemed that after the relocation, Uzushiogakure had indeed developed quite well.
As he was surveying, a certain structure caught Uchiha Madara's attention.
It was a bronze statue, about several tens of meters tall, sculpted and erected on the main street in the center of Uzushiogakure!
Looking at the statue's physique, facial features, and demeanor, this was clearly Uchiha Madara himself!
Uchiha Madara, levitating in the sky, felt a drop of cold sweat bead on his forehead. He found it difficult to describe his current mood; he felt a subtle sense of embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, they've started with that whole personal worship thing here too.
Regarding this, Uchiha Madara couldn't say he was averse to it, but he always felt that the entire village personally worshipping him was very strange...
Through his wood clone, Uchiha Madara learned that this bronze statue was not funded and cast by the village, but rather, the citizens of Uzushiogakure had pooled enough money to finance its creation.
Forget it, forget it. This group of people was probably forced by their previous difficult lives. Now that they finally have such a good life, they've placed their spiritual hopes on Uchiha Madara.
Continuing to look around, Uchiha Madara's attention was drawn to another large cluster of buildings.
Again, through his wood clone, Uchiha Madara learned that this was the recently established Uzushiogakure Ninja Academy!
Excellent! After such a long time, the Ninja Academy that Uchiha Madara had always been thinking about was finally established. This meant that Uzushiogakure's self-sustaining bloodline mechanism had begun to perfect itself. In the future, as fresh blood from the Ninja Academy was integrated into Uzushiogakure, the village would achieve complete self-sufficiency.
Carefully observing and sensing, there were quite a lot of students in the Ninja Academy, and most of them were from civilian backgrounds. There were also some from shinobi families, but not as many.
This was also something Uchiha Madara was satisfied with. If all the ninja students came from ninja families, Uzushiogakure would sooner or later become as entrenched in family politics as Konoha.
Carefully observing the aptitude of these ninja students, Uchiha Madara could only say that their average aptitude was still acceptable.
Of course, among them, those with the highest aptitude were the little brats Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato, whom his wood clone had tossed into the Ninja Academy to study.
Additionally, the education provided by the Ninja Academy's instructors was also not bad. Their teaching was more or less a weakened version of the first stage of Uchiha Madara's training for the little brats: chakra extraction, physical conditioning, and knowledge acquisition, all progressing simultaneously.
The Ninja Academy was what Uchiha Madara was most satisfied with; it was very good.
Finally, Uchiha Madara turned his gaze to Uzushiogakure's landmark building, the Administrative Building!
The Uzushiogakure Administrative Building was white, and its overall structure was stern and orderly, which was not outside Uchiha Madara's expectations.
As Uchiha Madara was levitating in mid-air, looking down at the Administrative Building, the wood clone standing before the floor-to-ceiling window of the Head of State's office also sensed something and looked up at Uchiha Madara.
With a slight smile, Uchiha Madara concealed his form and aura, descended without anyone noticing, and entered the Head of State's office.
Sitting behind the office desk in the office, looking at his bright and spacious office, Uchiha Madara was in a good mood. This place indeed exuded an air of supreme authority!
The wood clone turned and walked over, saying to Uchiha Madara with a deadpan expression:
"Main body... you're out of seclusion? It seems your strength has improved again!"
Uchiha Madara waved his hand casually:
"It's alright, it's alright. After mastering the perfect Sage Mode, my strength indeed had a phased increase!"
"Since the main body has returned, that's good. Then the entire Uzushiogakure will..."
As he spoke, the wood clone prepared to revert to wood and return to Uchiha Madara's body, but Uchiha Madara immediately stopped him!
"Wait, wait! Don't come back yet. Uzushiogakure will probably still need you to manage it for a few more years!"
"Why?"
"Why? Why don't you know? The Second Great Ninja War is pretty much like this. According to the original plot development, the Third Great Ninja War won't start for many more years. During this period, the ninja world will be calm and peaceful, with almost nothing happening. I have nowhere to go and can't just go out looking for trouble. Don't tell me you want me to stay cooped up in Uzushiogakure all this time?"
Speaking up to this point, the wood clone seemed to understand something. He pointed at Uchiha Madara's chest and asked tentatively:
"Are you planning to..."
Uchiha Madara nodded, pulled open his collar, revealing the formation talisman imprinted on the center of his chest!
After such a long time, you all must have almost forgotten, how did his soul transmigrate across dimensions to arrive here and become Uchiha Madara?
It was precisely because of this strange formation talisman!
For such a long time, Uchiha Madara hadn't not researched this formation talisman, but he hadn't made any headway at all.
However, it could be confirmed that it allowed him to traverse spacetime and was harmless to Uchiha Madara!
A long time ago, the special energy within this formation talisman had already been fully charged, absolutely enough for Uchiha Madara to perform one dimensional traversal!
When Uchiha Madara proposed this, the wood clone couldn't help but be tempted.
However, his inherently cautious and serious personality still made Uchiha Madara (the wood clone) somewhat hesitant:
"You plan to leave this place, I have no objection. But with only me, a wood clone, stationed here, without you, the main body, won't there be trouble?"
Uchiha Madara nodded:
"Your concerns are necessary, and I understand them very well. Rest assured, I already have a foolproof plan for this!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Madara stood up, placed his hands on the wood clone's shoulders, and the Sage Mode activated!
Purple, lustrous radiance poured from Uchiha Madara's hands into the wood clone's body. Accompanied by a wondrous Yin-Yang transformation, it improved the wood clone's very essence. This ordinary wood clone of his began a miraculous metamorphosis... dusk...
