I am the most popular character in Naruto!

"In that case, I have no choice but to make an exception and teach you the Eight Gates Formation."

"The Eight Gates Technique is a secret art that can only be activated when protecting the most important person in your life. Please remember this, Goddess!"

Qianqiu glanced at the future, a gentle smile appearing on her face: "Of course I know, I'm protecting..."

“...'The future'.”

Chapter 387 Let us dance, for a thousand autumns!

"It's almost time."

Madara Uchiha stood quietly in place, glancing at the sky that was gradually deepening into the night.

The moon is beautiful tonight, and the moonlight is abundant.

It made the entire forest appear as if it were daytime.

"Absolutely! Let's see where Senju Chiaki is."

Madara Uchiha glanced at the pitcher plant crouching beside him. The pitcher plant swayed twice, revealing a half-black, half-white human face.

The face grinned and said to Madara Uchiha, "Lord Madara, according to White Zetsu's feedback, Senju Chiaki is already on his way here."

"Hmph, interesting. So you didn't run away?"

Madara Uchiha snorted softly, a knowing smile appearing on his lips.

There are no cowards in the Senju clan. Even the women are trustworthy and righteous, and they are not afraid of death.

well.

Only ninjas like these are qualified to be rivals of the Uchiha clan!

"Isn't it normal that she didn't run away?"

Zetsu shook his pitcher plant, looked at Madara Uchiha and said with a grin, "After all, Obito is still here. Hasn't Senju Chiaki been saying he wanted to save Obito all along?"

"Save Obito...?"

Madara Uchiha lowered his head, glanced at Obito who was standing there dazed and completely unconscious, and said softly, "Was it necessary?"

"Hey hey hey!"

Jue chuckled and said happily, "Indeed! Is there any need?"

"With Senju Chiaki's strength not even reaching Kage level, he still wants to snatch Obito from Madara Uchiha? That's just wishful thinking, it's laughable!"

"I didn't ask you to flatter me, absolutely not."

Madara Uchiha glanced at the pitcher plant beside him. To him, this pitcher plant was of great use, a very good intelligence ninja.

At the same time, in Madara Uchiha's mind, this pitcher plant was summoned by him and was loyal only to him.

Although he was somewhat puzzled as to why he had summoned this pitcher plant, given his own taste, he shouldn't have any particular feelings about pitcher plants.

However, Madara Uchiha was also well aware that he was getting old and sometimes couldn't remember what had happened in the past.

It's not impossible that I once summoned a pitcher plant as a support.

Besides, given Madara Uchiha's arrogance, even if he knew that the pitcher plant wasn't actually summoned by him, but rather that someone wanted to place it by his side to harm him, he probably wouldn't care much.

Come on.

My memory is hazy, whatever.

If you can please me, then do whatever you want.

Madara Uchiha wasn't afraid of being ambushed or having others sabotage him; what he feared was having no one to dance with him, no one to let him enjoy the thrill of battle!

For so many years, the pitcher plant Zetsu has stayed by Madara Uchiha's side, working tirelessly to gather intelligence and assist him.

Even when Madara Uchiha was old and frail, and occasionally let his guard down, the pitcher plant did not attack him.

Gradually, Madara Uchiha became less concerned about the pitcher plant Zetsu.

If this thing really wanted to harm him, he could have just taken action; he had so many opportunities.

But it never took action, and decades have passed. Even if it didn't achieve anything, it certainly put in the effort.

To be even more optimistic, perhaps the person who summoned the pitcher plant has already died of old age.

No fool would keep such a valuable and incredibly useful intelligence ninja like Zetsu the pitcher plant by their side for decades, right?

It's pointless!

Madara Uchiha's attitude towards pitcher plants was clear: they were simply a handy tool, nothing more.

"Hehe, Lord Madara, what do you mean by 'meaningless'?"

Zetsu rubbed his hands together and looked at Uchiha Madara, his tone full of flattery.

For so many years, he has always held this attitude towards Madara Uchiha.

There was no way around it; Madara Uchiha was arrogant, like a lion that would never lower its head.

The only way to get this lion to obey is to feed him enough meat and stroke his fur until he opens his heart to you and gradually develops some affection for you. That's all.

Just like now, Madara Uchiha has no intention of attacking Zetsu.

He glanced at the grinning Zetsu and calmly said, "What I mean by 'meaningless' is that no matter how hard Senju Chiaki tries, Obito can never go back."

"He has seen too much darkness and too much light."

"Even if Obito is rescued by Senju Chiaki, unless he is completely brainwashed, he won't change much."

"Give him a chance and he will become the person I expect him to be."

"Opportunity?"

Zetsu stared at Madara Uchiha in confusion. He didn't understand Madara's words, but he still memorized them.

"Alright, that's enough, she's here."

Madara Uchiha stopped speaking abruptly and turned his gaze into the distance.

Zetsu followed Madara Uchiha's gaze and looked out—

Bathed in moonlight, a girl with long pink hair slowly walked over.

As she walked, she slowly tied up her waist-length pink hair.

The moonlight was like a spotlight, shining directly on Qianqiu, drawing the attention of the entire night sky and the whole world.

Her long, flowing pink hair, which usually cascaded down her back, was now neatly tied up by Chiaki.

A high ponytail swept away Qianqiu's original lazy and charming demeanor, replacing it with a clean and dashing look, full of heroic spirit.

It must be said that if Qianqiu were dressed in men's clothing and had a folding fan, he would be an elegant nobleman descended to earth, a peerless gentleman.

"Awaited."

Chiaki gracefully walked up to Madara Uchiha. She looked up at Madara, who was full of admiration, and then focused her attention on the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who were possessed by White Zetsu.

"Do not."

Madara Uchiha shook his head slightly, clapped his hands and laughed, "Waiting a little while for a perfect performance is also a kind of enjoyment."

"is it?"

Chiaki gently tossed the ponytail that had fallen to her chest behind her back and clasped her hands together in front of her.

"Perhaps tonight will really be a perfect performance."

"If I were to invite you, such a distinguished guest, to come down and dance with me, I wonder if I would have the honor?"

Upon hearing Senju's words, Madara Uchiha's eyes lit up and he burst into laughter: "Senju Senju!"

"If you have that ability, then why not have me, Uchiha Madara, dance with you!?"

"Dance! Thousand Hands, Thousand Autumns!"

Chapter 388 Clash of Armies

"Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet Technique!"

Chiaki took a deep breath, quickly formed hand seals, and spat out a huge fireball at the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist who were being controlled by White Zetsu.

The moment the Fire Release technique, inherited from Jiraiya, was displayed, Madara Uchiha's eyes lit up.

"It's alright, nothing special, solid foundation."

Madara Uchiha was unfamiliar with everything about Chiaki.

Although the pitcher plant Zetsu reported Chiaki's information to Uchiha Madara, the arrogant Uchiha Madara completely disregarded it.

To him, it didn't matter who it was or whether they knew the information or not.

Even more so, Madara Uchiha believed that not knowing the information made him even more excited.

Wouldn't it be a very exciting thing to fight against unknown ninjas, unknown ninjutsu, and unknown combinations?

Madara Uchiha was a veteran of countless battles, and his combat experience and tactical talent were terrifying.

He can immediately analyze the strengths and weaknesses of any ninjutsu he has even glanced at, and find a ninjutsu that can be paired with it.

At the same time, Madara Uchiha was even able to take the power of that ninjutsu to a whole new level.

To put it this way, this man only needs to glance at you once, and your ninjutsu will be his.

The knock-off becomes the original, even more impressive, leaving you momentarily unsure whether you are the original or it is.

To give a more vivid example, Madara Uchiha's abilities are like a combination of the blonde and gray-haired characters from Kuroko's Basketball.

what?

Haven't you watched Kuroko's Basketball?

How about another example?

can.

Madara Uchiha's abilities are like Mew from Pokémon; he can transform into any creature and possess any ability with just a glance.

That's the power to reach the very essence!
