Looking at the three-story villa that suddenly appeared before him, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but grimace.
He turned his head to glance at the pile of timber he'd painstakingly chopped and the weird foundation he'd created with Earth Release ninjutsu…
Damn it!!!
If he'd known this kid had this kind of ability, would he have bothered chopping down trees like some kind of lumberjack?!
How infuriating!!!
This kid was clearly trying to make a fool out of him!
The thought made Madara's gaze toward Ito Hirofumi turn icy, his eyes practically screaming "I want to stab this guy."
Meanwhile, Ito Hirofumi had no idea Madara was already plotting his demise. In his mind, he was thinking, I built this guy a freaking villa! He's gotta teach me properly now, right?!
For a ninja, having a great teacher was crucial—unless you were some kind of cheat-code prodigy, of course…
Right now, Madara was glaring at Ito, feeling more annoyed by the second. Not only had he inexplicably become this kid's summoned beast, but now the kid was watching him make a fool of himself while building a house!
Fuming, Madara kicked the villa's door open with a loud BANG!!!
"Kid! You got anything else to say?! If not, I'm going to sleep!!!" he barked.
But Ito wasn't about to let Madara just go take a nap. After all, Madara had promised to teach him! Sure, Ito's father and grandfather, Ito Aoyama and Ito Daiga, were both Jonin, but compared to Uchiha Madara? They didn't even come close!
So, acting like he owned the place, Ito followed Madara right into the villa…
Truth be told, Ito was pretty curious about this summoning space. In here, he was basically a god!
If he wanted, he could easily suppress Madara in this space!
And anything he wanted to create, he could make it happen effortlessly—but only within this space.
Taking things created in the summoning space out into the real world? That was a no-go…
Right now, the inside of the villa was completely empty—no furniture, no decor, not even basic renovations.
Seeing this, Ito snapped his fingers again. Tables, chairs, sofas, coffee tables—various items started popping up all over the villa.
Madara, standing to the side, watched with curiosity…
He couldn't sense any chakra flow at all, which meant these things were appearing out of thin air. What a bizarre technique!
This annoying kid was getting harder and harder to figure out.
And why did he keep getting this weird feeling, like he and this kid had some deep connection…?
What was going on here?!
If this kid were an Uchiha, it might make sense, but his name was Ito! He had zero connection to the Uchiha clan!
So where was this strange feeling coming from?
After all sorts of furniture appeared, a dining table materialized next, covered with a spread of delicious-looking dishes.
In his current state, Madara was practically indistinguishable from a living person—his body was fully physical. The moment the food appeared, the aroma hit him, and his senses lit up.
"Kid… you can even whip up food?!" Madara asked, incredulous.
"Mhm!" Ito just hummed, raising an eyebrow with a smirk.
"Tch!" Madara scoffed, clearly annoyed by the smug response.
Ito ignored Madara's attitude and plopped down at the table.
"Madara, come on, eat something!" he called out.
"Hmph! You think you can tempt me with food, you annoying kid?! Let me tell you, you're dreaming! I'm the Demon of the Shinobi World! I'm Uchiha Madara!!!
You think some weird food is gonna make me grateful to you?!
Let me be clear! No way!!! Absolutely no way!!!
Even if I jumped off this villa's roof, even if I died right here, I wouldn't touch a single bite of your food!!!"
Grrrrrr…
A strange rumbling sound interrupted. Ito gave Madara's stomach a weird look.
Madara, meanwhile, felt a wave of embarrassment. He'd just made that grand speech, and now his stomach was betraying him?!
Damn it!!!
Back in his day, he'd seen every kind of delicacy there was!
But… okay, maybe he hadn't seen food quite like what this kid had conjured up.
What even was this stuff?
It looked so strange…
And that smell… it was really good!!!
"Madara, quit being such a tsundere!" Ito teased. "It's just a meal, no big deal. I'm not trying to bribe you with food!
Sure, I get that being my summoned beast probably feels like a blow to your pride, maybe even humiliating. But I'm not forcing you to do anything, am I?
We've just got a summoning contract between us. I can't make you do anything unless you agree to it!
Plus, you're basically alive again now—a living, breathing person. If you don't eat, you'll starve!"
"Hmph! Starve?! That's a joke!!!
There are plenty of animals out there. Worst case, I'll hunt a couple and roast them! Grilled meat's way better than this stuff!" Madara shot back.
Ito just gestured with a hand, as if to say, "Be my guest."
Truthfully, Ito understood. A powerhouse like Madara had pride through the roof. Becoming his summoned beast was probably unbearable for him!
But Madara had no choice—the system's power was beyond his ability to resist, and he couldn't even attack Ito.
Plus, Ito had no intention of ordering him around. Even if he did, Madara would probably just ignore him…
So, it was better to build a good relationship with this tsundere legend first.
Ito had some big plans for the future, and those plans definitely required the help of powerful allies. The strong spirits he could summon through the system were his greatest asset!
As for the Hidden Leaf Village, that was his home base.
His goal? Build his own faction, become the Hokage of the Leaf, and use the village as his foundation. With the help of these legendary spirits, he'd take over the entire shinobi world!
And when that day came, he'd be the one and only Emperor of the Ninja World…
