The item Uchiha Yato acquired this time bore a striking resemblance to a certain blue robotic cat's gadget.
Instant Teleportation Gate: Can be used to travel to any desired location.
Cooldown time depends on the distance traveled.
Uchiha Yato's first thought upon obtaining this item was to pay Uchiha Madara a visit.
If conditions permitted, he wanted to help the current Madara regain some clarity.
Then he planned to find a way to extend his lifespan.
After all, who said an elderly Madara couldn't be the Dance King?
If anyone tried to stop Uchiha Madara from becoming the Dance King, Madara wouldn't even need to speak—Uchiha Yato would be the first to object.
There was no helping it—this was pure entertainment. And since Uchiha Yato loved stirring up fun, of course he had to get involved.
Naturally, Uchiha Yato also hoped to borrow one of Madara's pawns—Danzo—for a while.
Being a man of action, Uchiha Yato didn't waste any time.
After reading the instructions, he immediately put it to use.Uchiha Yato didn't plan to go all the way at once, and he didn't know the exact location of the cave where Uchiha Madara was staying either. So he simply decided on the Valley of the End as his destination.
After all, with the Appointment Gate at his disposal, he could always flee if things went south.
...
Valley of the End.
In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Yato arrived.
Now, someone might ask—how would Uchiha Yato get Madara to come out?
His method was simple and brutal.
He pulled out a megaphone and started playing a looped announcement:
"Uchiha Madara, are you here?"
"I have a book titled The Untold Story of Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju—Even Uzumaki Mito Didn't Know! Would you like to read it?"
No need for fancy words—just an opening line was enough.
Then, he took out the book and casually dropped some excerpts from its contents.
Like how Madara frequently sought out Hashirama, leaving Uzumaki Mito neglected!
Or how Madara remained unmarried his entire life—all because of Hashirama!
Or how Madara and Hashirama pretended to be enemies on the surface but secretly carried on behind the scenes!
After Yato recited three of these scandalous little interludes—
A swarm of White Zetsu instantly appeared, "hog-tying" Yato and dragging him away.
The moment Yato arrived at the Valley of the End, Madara had already sensed his presence.
At first, Madara felt a little smug and even pleased, but when he realized Yato had come specifically to find him, he decided to mess with him a little.
After all, Yato had tricked him so many times—anyone would be annoyed, let alone Uchiha Madara.
So Madara planned to stay hidden and teach Yato a lesson.
Who would've thought Yato would completely defy expectations and immediately start spreading malicious rumors?
The worst part was—if Madara didn't step forward to refute these stories, who would? Hashirama, who was already six feet under?
To prevent more unscrupulous writers from catching wind of this, Madara ordered the White Zetsu to capture Yato immediately.
The White Zetsu agreed readily, but when they actually arrived on the scene and saw Yato, they hesitated.
It wasn't about how to capture him—Yato was cooperating fully.
The problem was Madara's earlier instructions:
Make sure to teach Yato a lesson. Don't let him get too cocky.
Unfortunately, with their limited intelligence, the White Zetsu struggled to grasp Madara's meaning.
As they bickered among themselves, Yato overheard their conversation—and instantly hatched another scheme.
He said to them, "I actually have an idea that could satisfy Madara-sama's demand for a 'lesson.' Would you like to try it?"
Hearing that Yato had a solution, the White Zetsu naturally deferred to him.
After all, Madara-sama had said not to harm him.
Of course, Madara never actually believed these White Zetsu could pose a threat to Yato—he'd just thrown out the order casually.
But he never expected Yato to turn it into an opportunity to commandeer the White Zetsu for his own purposes.
And so, when the dust settled—
There was Yato, seated atop a palanquin.
Surrounded by White Zetsu carrying it.
And like some pampered lord, he was being paraded forward by the crowd.This scene was witnessed by Uchiha Madara through White Zetsu's television.
One could say that Madara not dropping dead from sheer rage on the spot was already a testament to his exceptional self-control.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara turned his gaze directly toward Black Zetsu.
"You go!"
"Destroy every last one of those disgraceful things!"
"Then bring Uchiha Yato to me. I can't bear this humiliation any longer."
After receiving the order, Black Zetsu immediately melted into a puddle of black sludge and vanished.
Left behind in the cave was the "magnificent" Madara-sama, stewing in solitude.
Suddenly, his eyes fell upon Shimura Danzo nearby.
And so, our dear Shimura Danzo once again became Uchiha Madara's punching bag.
After venting his anger, Madara deliberately released Danzo from the genjutsu, intending to interrogate him about Uchiha Yato.
Uchiha Madara said, "Uchiha Yato will be here soon. You'd better tell me the truth—every last detail."
"Reveal his weaknesses to me, or I'll have Uchiha Yato take you away. Think carefully about what will happen to you if you fall into his hands!"
It must be said that Shimura Danzo's arrogance had been thoroughly worn down by now.
There was no helping it—in his current state, Danzo didn't even need to meet Madara's eyes to be completely controlled.
Danzo himself was furious. If he had known Uchiha Yato's weaknesses, would he have been killed by him in the first place?
Shimura Danzo replied, "That guy is a troublemaker. As long as he keeps causing trouble, I believe Sarutobi Hiruzen will eventually expel him from the Hidden Leaf Village."
This statement was as good as saying nothing. The current Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't have the guts to confront Uchiha Yato head-on.
The old Uchiha Yato might have still cared about others' opinions, but the current one? As long as he didn't push Sarutobi Hiruzen to the brink of desperation, threatening the Hokage's core interests, he could practically strut through the Hidden Leaf Village unimpeded.
The major and minor ninja clans had already been swayed by his schemes—both overt and covert.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen's three prized disciples wouldn't dare act recklessly against him.
And those two useless advisors?
Please. If Sarutobi Hiruzen was counting on them, he might as well call it a night.
Hearing Shimura Danzo's words, Uchiha Madara didn't know how to respond.
After all, the approach he had chosen was to let Uchiha Yato stir up trouble unchecked.
Was Danzo suggesting that he should fan the flames and make Yato's provocations even more outrageous?
With this thought, Madara hatched a new plan.
Just then, a crowd suddenly appeared at the cave entrance.
Indeed, it was the group of White Zetsu sent to retrieve Uchiha Yato.
And Uchiha Yato was still seated in his open-air palanquin.
The only difference this time was that Black Zetsu was now dragging the palanquin from below.
In the short time since his departure, something must have happened—Black Zetsu, who hadn't been gone long, had already been turned into Yato's plaything.
At this moment, Uchiha Yato loudly delivered his signature greeting.
"Uchiha Yato pays his respects! I hope Lord Uchiha Madara won't find me unwelcome~"
