In the entire shinobi world, only one person could wield Wind Release of this caliber.
But given that he had already gone into hiding, Uchiha Yato hadn't expected him to return.
As they clashed, Yato quickly noticed something off.
Despite the man's incredible speed, his movements felt oddly uncoordinated.
At first, Yato engaged him with Fire Release techniques, testing his endurance.
"Fire Release: Wildfire of the Plains."
In the sky, raging flames cascaded like a colossal waterfall, crashing down with overwhelming force.
The blaze illuminated the heavens, as if intent on devouring everything in existence.
The scorching heat instantly turned the desert sand beneath them blistering hot, emitting sizzling sounds.
Every grain seemed to ignite, radiating unbearable, searing energy.
Amidst the inferno, the black-clad figure struggled desperately.
His movements were ghostly, twisting and turning as he tried to evade the falling flames.
Yet the fire was too relentless—no matter how he dodged, the scorching waves still licked at him.
Left with no choice, the man resorted to Earth Release.
Hands flying through seals, he muttered an incantation before sinking into the ground, vanishing from sight.
But even then, the raging fire seeped through the earth, pressing down on him with unprecedented intensity and danger.At this moment, Uchiha Yato spoke again.
"Stop pretending, Danzo!"
"You can hide today, but you can't hide forever."
"If you die here today, I'll burn paper money for you tomorrow. How does that sound?"
The black-clad figure then replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't know who this 'Danzo' you're talking about is."
"My name is Uchiha Madara. You should be quite familiar with that name, right?"
This left Uchiha Yato momentarily confused.
But after quickly thinking through some details from their previous battle, Yato roughly understood what was happening.
It was nothing more than Uchiha Madara rescuing Shimura Danzo and controlling him, just like the Fourth Mizukage in the original story.
However, given Uchiha Madara's tsundere personality,
the fact that he didn't personally kill Danzo for framing the Uchiha Clan was already an extraordinary act of mercy.
So there must be a missing piece here.
Black Zetsu must have whispered poisonous words to Madara, leading to Danzo's current situation.
Then, Uchiha Yato had another mischievous idea.
Yato said, "Stop joking around, will you?"
"Leaving aside Lord Madara's current age,"
"Do you really think Lord Madara would do something so sneaky and underhanded?"
Hearing this, Madara wasn't angry at all—in fact, he felt secretly pleased.
Because Yato addressed him as "Lord Madara," showing respect in his heart.
In his cave, Madara watched this scene with crossed arms, his tsundere side showing.
He muttered to himself, "At least this junior has some conscience, knowing to respect his ancestor."
If Yato could see Madara like this, he'd definitely say: "Confirmed—the ninja world's secret pleasure king."
This version of Madara was all about being tsundere. When angry, only Hashirama could calm him down.
Back to the present.
The black-clad figure continued, "Believe what you want."
Not letting him spout more nonsense, Yato cut in: "I don't believe you."
"If you can beat me, then I'll believe you."
Instantly, Yato activated his Mangekyo Sharingan. This time, he wanted to test Tom Cat's abilities.
The Mangekyo Sharingan's main function here was deceleration.
With a summoning puff of smoke, a blue cat appeared on the scene.
Yato said to Tom Cat, "Use your skills to beat up this guy in black."
"If you win, you get premium cat food tonight plus a Jerry mouse plushie."
"If you lose, you're going on a blind date with the Uchiha Clan's ninja cat, Huahua."
(Ninja Cat Huahua: the feline world's equivalent of Pogon.)
Hearing the winning conditions made Tom Cat ecstatic.
After all, he might get to see his old friend Jerry again—even if just as a plushie for now.
But hearing the losing consequences, Tom decided victory was mandatory.
Suddenly, Jerry didn't seem important at all. He just wanted to bring Yato victory.
A spatial ripple appeared beside Tom Cat,
and out came a rocket launcher.
Rocket Launcher (Naruto Edition): Fires explosive rounds by consuming chakra.
Damage scales with the amount of chakra expended.Not only that, but he also pulled out several auxiliary aiming devices from the spatial storage.
Tom Cat declared: "Today, it's either you die or you perish!"
Without hesitation, Tom Cat pulled the trigger. In an instant, the bazooka erupted like an enraged beast, spewing forth raging flames.
A scorching fireball shot out from the barrel with earth-shattering momentum, hurtling straight toward the black-clad figure.
The initially confident black-clad man felt a surge of competitiveness and actually attempted to withstand the incoming fireball head-on with his formidable power.
However, as the fireball drew nearer, an indescribable peculiar sensation began spreading through his body.
At first, the feeling was extremely faint, almost imperceptible, so much so that the black-clad man didn't notice anything unusual.
But as time passed, he gradually realized his movements were becoming sluggish, as if the entire world had slowed down.
Though subtle, this change was enough to alert the battle-hardened black-clad man who was highly sensitive to his surroundings.
From the shadows, Uchiha Madara tested his own movements and confirmed something was indeed amiss.
He immediately recognized this as Uchiha Yato's doing.
Meanwhile, the fireball Tom Cat had initially fired struck the cloak, instantly igniting a blaze.
Uchiha Madara was somewhat surprised by the power of this single shot.
He hadn't expected the tools this Summoning Beast came with to be so formidable.
While Uchiha Yato was also surprised, he wasn't overly shocked.
After all, anything produced by the system was guaranteed to be top quality.
Being restricted and not fighting with his own body, Uchiha Madara was holding back somewhat, merely dodging and using Ninjutsu for defense.
After all, he was fighting a Summoning Beast, and it was his junior clan member—some courtesy was in order.
Shimura Danzo cursed internally: "Damn you Uchiha Madara, using me to curry favor like this!"
And so, our Shimura Danzo was reduced to a Puppet—or rather, Uchiha Madara's Summoning Beast became Tom Cat's plaything.
Meanwhile, our system successfully earned some extra income.
This scene could be titled "Tom Toying with Danzo."
After some time passed, Uchiha Yato came up with a new idea..
