Uchiha Madara, leading the people of Uzu Village and carrying a large amount of supplies, had already been away from Konoha for many days.
In these past few days, Konoha, following Uchiha Madara's intentions, had announced the so-called Konoha defeat terms and ceasefire agreement to the entire ninja world, word for word.
Although the higher-ups of the Five Great Shinobi Villages all knew about it, other ordinary people and common ninjas were completely unaware. Once this announcement was made, the entire ninja world was thrown into an uproar, and Uchiha Madara once again became the publicly acknowledged great enemy of the entire ninja world!
Especially after learning of Konoha's specific tragic situation, many factions warned their subordinates: absolutely do not provoke Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara was not yet aware that his infamous name had once again spread throughout the ninja world. He continued to command the people of Uzu Village, escorting the supplies back. Today, they finally passed through the most difficult Qinglian "Ninety-Three-Seven" mountain range and entered the current territory of Uzu Village.
After passing through the Qinglian mountain range, Uchiha Madara himself didn't feel much different. However, the accompanying strategists and ninjas instantly had a change in their spirits, as if they had blossomed with vigor.
Why?
Because of a subtle sense of pride and satisfaction. After crossing the Qinglian mountain range, every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every stone they saw along the way would henceforth belong to their own country. They were proud to be a part of the Land of Uzu.
Uchiha Madara was also happy to see this. Since they were so pleased, then they should speed up their journey.
The group was walking on a rugged road in a plain forest. Several strategists were discussing matters of territorial handover and governance. The spirits of several dozen ninjas were taut with tension, on guard against any eventuality. Everyone had a completely new mental outlook.
Uchiha Madara scoffed at their lack of foresight.
At this moment, he was casually sitting on a supply cart piled high, holding a notebook in his hand. It recorded knowledge related to the Flying Thunder God Jutsu. Uchiha Madara had been studying it and experimenting with it from time to time.
As they walked, the group and the convoy suddenly stopped.
Uchiha Madara looked up and found everyone looking tense. Immediately, a ninja reported:
"Lord Madara! Someone is blocking the road ahead!"
Huh? Someone actually has the nerve to dare block my, Laozi's, carts!?
Uchiha Madara instantly became interested in this audacious person. He stood up on the high supply cart and looked into the distance.
At a glance, there was a tall figure, wearing a brown robe, his face covered by a black mask from the nose down, with an imposing aura, currently... sitting by the roadside!
That's right, just sitting by the roadside.
A large drop of cold sweat trickled down Uchiha Madara's forehead. This is someone blocking the road? Just sitting by the roadside counts as blocking the road?
Are these ninjas a bit too high-strung? They consider anyone they randomly encounter an enemy blocking the path!?
A certain ninja, "filled with righteous indignation," looked pained, just waiting for Uchiha Madara's order to charge out:
"Lord Madara, should we make a move!"
"Move your ass! Don't be so jumpy! He's just sitting by the roadside, and he hasn't shown any malice towards us. Besides... I know this person. All of you, put away your weapons! I'll go meet him!"
The ninjas looked at each other but were very obedient and put away their weapons.
Uchiha Madara shook his head, took a step forward, and in an instant, appeared before the person on the opposite side.
The person sitting by the roadside, upon seeing Uchiha Madara appear, slowly stood up. His movements contained a trace of subtle respect. His deep voice came from beneath the black mask:
"Uchiha Madara, I've long heard of your great name. I've been waiting here for you for a long time!"
Uchiha Madara nodded slightly:
"I've also been looking for you for a long time. I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here, Kakuzu..."
That's right! The one waiting here for Uchiha Madara to pass by was none other than Kakuzu, whom Uchiha Madara had been trying to find and recruit!
Regarding Uchiha Madara's words, Kakuzu replied indifferently:
"To be constantly remembered by the Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara, is truly an honor!"
"Heh heh... you also know, I recently acquired Uzu Village. Uzu Village is a small ninja village. I've put a lot of effort into its development. First, I attacked Iwagakure, then Konoha. Supplies are more or less sufficient, but talent is severely lacking..."
"Are you planning to recruit me?"
"Hasn't Zetsu already conveyed my intentions to you? I indeed want to recruit you. To achieve great things, one can never do it alone."
Uchiha Madara had clearly expressed his intentions. This made Kakuzu a little moved. He scratched his head:
"Hmm... after drifting through the ninja world for so many years, it's naturally good to have a stable place to settle down. However, I still need to confirm something..."
As he spoke, Kakuzu began to activate his secret technique. Strands of black tendrils, like black iron threads, suddenly drilled out from Kakuzu's back. Four bizarre masks emerged from his back. Connected by the black tendrils, his arms also elongated, and his entire aura surged, instantly transforming him into a terrifying humanoid monster!
Uchiha Madara's expression was inscrutable:
"Kakuzu, do you not believe in the might of Uchiha Madara?"
Kakuzu's voice after transforming sounded somewhat terrifying:
"Hearing is believing, but seeing is the truth."
"Alright, since that's the case, then let me show you, lest you disrespect your superior in the future."
As he spoke, Uchiha Madara formed hand seals:
"Wind Scythe! Decapitating Blade!"
A pale white wind blade, 2.0 in length, shot out from between Uchiha Madara's hands, instantly elongating as it was launched!
The wind blade was extremely fast, reaching Kakuzu in the blink of an eye. It was already too late to escape!
In Kakuzu's wide eyes, he only felt a flash of white light, a chilling sensation slashed across his stomach, and then, he was directly cut in two!
A flash of white light, the long wind blade swept past Kakuzu, instantly cutting through the forest behind him!
Just as the bisected Kakuzu fell to the ground, the forest behind him crackled, and giant trees snapped at their trunks and crashed to the earth.
The lush forest turned into a lumber yard, the canopies all fallen, leaving only densely packed, bare tree trunks standing there.
