Old Man, Are You Deaf?!

Cannot eliminate so many people in a short time.

And it's hard to shake them off!

Furthermore, having arrived at this place now, Qingye hesitated for a moment before immediately choosing to use others to kill.

He would bring people to pay respects to the lonely old man Uchiha Madara and give him a surprise!

"Eleven o'clock direction, two kilometers away, that cave... has it really been hollowed out underneath?!"

Hyuga Himon opened his Byakugan and observed from a distance, unable to help but widen his eyes.

Then he immediately remembered what Qingye had just said, and quickly withdrew his gaze, closing his Byakugan.

"Are we going there now?" Yūhi Kurenai asked.

"That's right."

Thinking about what might happen next, Qingye felt a surge of pleasure.

Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Madara, last time when I destroyed Iwagakure's medical supplies, I was in such a bad state because of White Zetsu, and I almost fell into Kitsuchi's hands!

It's time you tasted what it's like to be schemed against!

"But, Qingye, didn't you say there was great terror over there?"

"Hm? Oh, I think I did say that."

"Is it really okay for us to go there now?"

"Don't worry!"

Before, when he had the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he naturally couldn't provoke Uchiha Madara.

But now, with Spirit 9, ten units of Chakra, the Mangekyo's ocular power, plus those two ocular techniques, and the ability to postpone repayment at any time!

It's not like he's going to fight Uchiha Madara to the death. What's wrong with going to pay him a visit?

He's a lonely old man who hasn't been bothered by anyone for decades. He should be thanking himself instead!

In about one to two minutes, a small mountain ahead was already very close.

Qingye had no intention of stopping at all. He brought Yūhi Kurenai and the two of them, leaping and climbing up the mountainside, heading straight for the direction of the cave.

He even deliberately slowed down his pace to prevent them from falling too far behind the Iwagakure Ninja.

"Faster!"

"We're almost catching up to them!"

"We absolutely cannot let these three damned brats escape!"

Dozens of Iwagakure Ninja pursued relentlessly, arriving at the entrance of the extremely narrow mountain cave.

At this moment, Qingye was only about twenty meters away from them.

"Go!"

Qingye reached out and pulled out several stacks of Explosive Tags, throwing them forcefully towards the rear. The target was not the Iwagakure Ninja, but the ground over there!

Rumble--

A stack of one hundred Explosive Tags, and now several stacks of Explosive Tags exploded at the same time. The ground was instantly blasted open.

Then, it began to collapse!

The Iwagakure Ninja who were chasing here lost their footing. Before they could recover from the shock of the Explosive Tag explosion, the mountainside beneath them completely collapsed, and those in the front fell into the ground.

"Alright, let's go!"

Seeing this, Qingye immediately sped up, not lingering for a moment, and left at full speed.

Behind them.

The Iwagakure Ninja were initially delayed by the explosion of the Explosive Tags, and now the mountainside suddenly collapsed. Those in the front inexplicably fell into the ground, causing a moment of panic.

"Cough cough... What, what is this situation?"

"Why did the mountain collapse?"

Did it collapse from the explosion of Explosive Tags?

Even if this mountain wasn't large, it shouldn't be this unstable, right?

In the empty underground, smoke and dust filled the air. In the front, an old figure slowly turned his head, looking at these uninvited guests who had suddenly intruded.

"..."

Uchiha Madara stared coldly at these people, not saying a word.

Who could tell him what was going on right now?

He was originally monitoring Obito's situation through White Zetsu. Where did these people come from?!

"This place... it's not a mountain collapse, it's been artificially excavated!"

"That's strange. Has the village excavated an underground base in this area?"

"Wait, there's someone here!"

The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and finally, someone noticed Uchiha Madara deep underground.

The Iwagakure Ninja, who were originally shocked and vigilant, immediately let down their guard upon seeing the other person's aged and worn face.

What is this? It's just an old geezer.

He doesn't look strong at all!

"Hey, old man, what's going on here?"

Someone stepped forward unceremoniously to question him.

"..."

Uchiha Madara remained silent, even wanting to laugh.

"Old man, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me? Are you deaf?!"

Seeing that the old man opposite didn't answer, the Iwagakure Ninja became even more displeased, their words becoming increasingly rude.

Opposite them, scarlet light flashed beneath Uchiha Madara's pale hair. He lightly patted the dust off his body, dragging his frail body, and slowly stood up.

Some Iwagakure Ninja secretly swallowed, already sensing something was wrong.

Who is this old guy, really?

Why is he in a place like this?!

"Fire Style—"

Uchiha Madara faced the large group of Iwagakure Ninja, slowly forming hand seals: "Great Fire Destruction!"

The flames and smoke dissipated together.

Blinding sunlight shone directly into the dark underground cave.

At this moment, the ground was covered with black, charred corpses, looking like a mass grave, incredibly eerie.

Uchiha Madara took a breath and slowly sat down, his body overcome with fatigue.

"White Zetsu!"

He roared with anger.

"Y-Yes, Lord Madara..."

A White Zetsu cautiously emerged from the cave wall nearby.

"Tell me what's going on!"

Uchiha Madara was almost amused to the point of laughter.

To think that I, the great Uchiha Madara, would be so offended by a bunch of Iwagakure juniors today!

That kid Ōnoki's people really have some nerve!

And, most importantly, even now, he still hasn't figured out why these people suddenly appeared!

He's basically relying on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to stay alive, rarely moving around the ninja world, so no one should know of his existence.

Even this cave was specially dug out recently, in order to secretly observe and guide Uchiha Obito from up close.

Where did these Iwagakure Ninja come from?!

"Lord Madara, I don't know either..."

The White Zetsu looked very innocent.

He had been here with Lord Madara the whole time and hadn't paid attention to the outside situation.

"Um, Lord Madara." Another White Zetsu swam over from outside underground and said cautiously, "Those people were led here by Uchiha Aoya."

This was the White Zetsu responsible for tracking Uchiha Aoya.

When he saw Aoya running this way, he initially thought, 'He's not going to Lord Madara's place, is he?'

Hahaha, how could that be possible!

But he actually ran this way!

"Uchiha Aoya?"

Uchiha Madara was taken aback. After the White Zetsu recounted what happened following Aoya, he pondered for a while but couldn't figure anything out.

What exactly is going on?

Is it a coincidence?

Uchiha Madara wanted to think so, but he couldn't convince himself.

How could there be such a coincidence!

But logically, Uchiha Aoya shouldn't know about his existence... let alone know his location!
