The Master of Konoha's Legacy

The old man shook his head and turned to slowly walk towards his seat.

Upon hearing this, Obito's face lit up with immense joy, and he said with gratitude:

"That's great, thank you so much, may I go now?"

The old man slowly sat down, and in a hoarse voice, said in a deep tone:

"It's too early to say thank you now."

I will make you repay this kindness properly.

Helping the elderly is your life motto, right?

Obito was taken aback by these words, and weakly replied:

"Yes...yes..."

What should I do?

"Will you be taken care of by a maid?"

To everyone's surprise, the old man didn't even offer a token refusal, but simply nodded and said, "That's fine too."

Upon hearing this, Obito immediately objected and quickly refused:

"I'm sorry, I can't stay here forever."

Since I'm still alive, I have to go back to Konoha.

There's a war going on right now, and I'm a Chunin who has awakened the Sharingan; I'm a key player on the battlefield.

I also need to use my abilities to protect my companions.

The old man's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and he said slowly:

"Your injuries are too severe; if you leave now..."

Then you might never be able to become a ninja in your entire life.

"How can this be? I have to go back no matter what."

Obito flipped over and jumped to the ground.

However, as soon as my feet touched the ground, I felt excruciating pain all over my body.

He collapsed to the ground.

However, after Obito was buried alive by Uchiha Tonan, the mud crushed his bones.

If Uchiha Tonan hadn't deliberately held back, Obito would have been a bloody mess long ago.

The old man squinted at Obito, who was grimacing in pain on the ground, and said quietly:

"Let's face reality. There are many unsatisfactory things in this world."

The longer I live, the clearer things become.

All that permeates reality is bitterness, pain, and loneliness.

Listen carefully, everything in this world is the same.

Where there is light, there is also darkness.

As long as there is a concept of winners, there must also be losers.

The self-serving will to protect peace can trigger war.

In the pursuit of love, hatred may also arise.

This is a cause-and-effect relationship; it cannot be separated.

The old man said a long string of words, but Obito didn't hear a single one.

He thought to himself: Old people are such a hassle; once they start talking, they just can't stop.

Something's not right. Why would an old man with Sharingan be here?

I know all the old men and women in Konoha, but I've never seen him before.

This shows that...

This old man is no longer a Konoha ninja.

This means...

Obito's eyes narrowed as he thought of this, and he shouted:

"Old man, you're a rogue ninja, aren't you?"

Who exactly are you?

"Rogue ninja... Hahahaha... Hahahaha... Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, the old man looked up and burst into laughter.

Laughter echoed in the empty underground world, giving Obito a chilling feeling.

After a long while, the old man suddenly lowered his head and stared intently at Obito.

His expression turned cold and menacing as he spoke, word by word:

Who am I...?

I am the spirit of the Uchiha clan...

Madara Uchiha!

Upon hearing this, Obito was completely stunned and muttered to himself:

"My ancestor... Uchiha Madara...?"

Immediately, disbelief appeared on Obito's face, and he shouted:

"How could Ban be alive now? That's from a bygone era."

Madara Uchiha closed his eyes, leaning back in his seat, and murmured as if in a trance:

"For you, would you rather believe I am the Grim Reaper than believe I am Madara Uchiha?"

That's true. In a sense, I really am the Grim Reaper.

After all, the real world is hell.

If it weren't for the golem behind me continuously providing chakra to this old codger...

I will die immediately.

"Whether you are the Grim Reaper or Madara Uchiha."

As long as I'm alive, I'll go back.

Obito lay on the ground, struggling to twist his body as he crawled towards a dark corner.

With each twist of his body, a cracking sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Madara Uchiha opened his eyes, feeling restless, and quickly advised:

"Do you want to die?"

Silly little thing!

If you keep moving around, the bones that have finally been set will crumble into pieces.

I will need you to do many things for me in the future.

You've barely escaped death, don't even think about committing suicide.

Ignoring everything, Obito continued crawling forward, gritting his teeth as he said:

"What exactly do you want? What do you, an old man, want to do by grabbing a kid like me?"

Madara Uchiha sighed heavily and murmured:

"Sever the cause and effect in this world."

Creation is about only victors, only peace, and only love.

A perfect world where only this exists.

Obito couldn't understand a word Madara Uchiha was saying, and struggled forward, saying:

"Who cares about your nonsense? I just want to get back to everyone's side..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito fainted due to the severity of his internal injuries.

"I have said that things in this world do not always go as planned."

One day you'll understand this too.

Madara Uchiha sighed softly, struggled to his feet, and prepared to check on Obito's injuries.

Suddenly, Madara Uchiha froze, his eyes gleaming with a captivating light as he looked around.

"Excuse me......"

A magnetic and gentle voice resonated throughout this dark and empty underground world.

"May I come inside."

[Chapter 270. Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Family: The Hot Mom from Harbin]

Madara Uchiha now pinpointed the direction from which the sound came, his piercing gaze seeming to penetrate the darkness as he roared:

"Who! Cough cough~"

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The crisp sound of footsteps rang out at a leisurely pace.

In the darkness, a pair of scarlet, eerie Mangekyou Sharingan eyes lit up.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Tonan, wearing a black trench coat, emerged from the darkness.

However, the expression on Uchiha Tonan's face as he looked at Uchiha Madara was a mixture of excitement, anticipation, and a hint of nervousness.

This is... a kaleidoscope...

Madara Uchiha stared directly into Tonan Uchiha's eyes, his expression slightly grave.
