Sasuke wants to take a master?

Chen Yiban, looking at Sasuke Uchiha before him, said with his normal black eyes.

"Yes, Elder Madara, my name is Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke Uchiha said to Chen Yiban with great respect.

So he's the Second Uchiha! Chen Yiban couldn't help but think to himself.

At the same time:

Indeed, he's so much like Izuna...

Because of Uchiha Madara's memories, Chen Yiban couldn't help but look at Sasuke Uchiha before him with a complicated gaze.

However, Chen Yiban quickly regained his composure:

"So, you've been waiting for me out here all this time?"

Chen Yiban asked the Second Uchiha before him again, indifferently.

In response:

"Elder Patriarch, I wish to take you as my master!"

The Second Uchiha suddenly knelt before Chen Yiban.

Seeing this, Chen Yiban couldn't help but be stunned.

Taking me as his master?

You Second Uchiha really know how to put on a show!

And:

"You call me Patriarch?"

Chen Yiban looked at the kneeling Sasuke Uchiha with a hint of amusement and continued, "What a clever Uchiha junior!"

Hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha felt a little embarrassed.

After all, calling Chen Yiban "Patriarch" was indeed a way to flatter him and put him on a pedestal.

However, looking at Chen Yiban's demeanor...

Sasuke Uchiha felt that he might have been a bit too clever!

But:

"Elder Madara, I sincerely wish to become your disciple."

"I... I want power. I want to get revenge on someone."

Sasuke Uchiha bowed even lower, his forehead touching the ground.

Chen Yiban could naturally guess that the person the Second Uchiha was referring to was Itachi Uchiha.

"Let's go eat first. I'm hungry!"

Chen Yiban neither directly refused nor accepted Sasuke Uchiha's request to become his disciple.

Instead, he bypassed Sasuke Uchiha and walked out of the Hokage Building!

Seeing this, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes flashed with determination, and he immediately got up and ran to catch up with Chen Yiban.

Soon, the two of them walked out of the Hokage Building and arrived at the main entrance outside:

"Lord... Lord Madara!" ×2

At the main entrance, two Konoha ninjas were on their regular patrol.

Seeing Chen Yiban's appearance, both of them immediately showed visible nervousness. They knelt on one knee and saluted Chen Yiban.

"Mm!" Chen Yiban responded indifferently.

During this time, his footsteps did not stop as he continued to walk until he had completely left the Hokage Building.

Sasuke Uchiha, however, stopped and glanced at the two kneeling ninjas on patrol...

The Second Uchiha sensed that their strength was no less than Chunin, or even Elite Chunin.

They could be considered minor powerhouses!

But, in front of the man ahead...

What was the point of being a Chunin, or even a Jonin?

They could only kneel and submit, or... die!

This is absolute power!

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Chen Yiban's retreating back, clad in red armor with his long hair reaching his waist, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

And longing!

He longed to know if it was possible for him to become as powerful as the man before him someday?

Thinking this, a rare smile flickered across Sasuke Uchiha's lips.

Then, with even more determined steps, he jogged to catch up with Chen Yiban!

Like this, the Second Uchiha trailed closely behind Chen Yiban, like a little shadow.

... ...

Konoha's streets, already being repaired and rebuilt, had regained a semblance of the prosperity from a few days prior.

At the very least, those who should be doing business were doing business, those who should be selling were selling, and those who should be buying were buying.

It was as if nothing had happened before!

Of course, it would have been even better if the bottomless abyss slashed by the [Complete Body · Susanoo] could have disappeared.

And the thousand-meter chasm in the mountains behind Konoha, kicked out by [Night Guy], had yet to be dealt with.

Furthermore, where did Chen Yiban get his over a hundred "Beginner Lotteries"?

It came from killing, or rather, from beating others down until they lost the will to fight!!

The battle a few days ago...

Not counting civilians, just among ninjas, Konoha had lost at least three hundred ninjas.

Among them were:

Might Guy, Asuma Sarutobi, Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, Hyuga Neji, and many other excellent Konoha ninjas.

There was even... Elder Council member Shimura Danzō!

Speaking of which, the other two members of the Elder Council had also disappeared somewhere these past few days.

Chen Yiban thought that when he met them again, he would directly send them to the afterlife with a single Susanoo strike...

And at this moment, he had already walked onto the bustling street that was slowly recovering its former glory.

Chen Yiban saw that most of the Konoha ninjas and civilians on the street, while immediately bowing to him upon seeing him, still harbored fear, dread, and hatred in their eyes...

Chen Yiban could see it all!

Thinking back to Sasuke Uchiha's words of "revenge" not long ago.

"Indeed, the only thing that can be inherited... is hatred!"

Chen Yiban smiled faintly, unconcerned, and moved on.

Then he continued walking forward!

During this time, Sasuke Uchiha, who was closely following behind Chen Yiban, naturally noticed the strange looks from the many Konoha civilians and some ninjas around them.

Even, because they shared the Uchiha surname, possessed the Sharingan, and were currently following Chen Yiban...

Some people around couldn't help but resent Sasuke Uchiha as well!

"Heh!" Sasuke Uchiha let out a cold laugh and moved on.

He didn't care about the gazes of others at all!

The Second Uchiha was barely affected and continued to follow closely behind Chen Yiban.

During this time, Chen Yiban noticed Sasuke's state, seeing his disdainful expression towards the stares of those people...

Chen Yiban couldn't help but smile faintly to himself: "This kid's state of mind is actually quite good!"

Finally, amidst the continuous bowing, hatred, and fearful gazes from people along the way:

Chen Yiban, walking and stopping, finally arrived at a place to eat noodles.

Yes, Ichiraku Ramen!!

"Uchiha, Madara... Lord Madara?"

Upon seeing Chen Yiban's arrival, Uncle Ichiraku, whom netizens from another world jokingly called "Otsutsuki Ichiraku," immediately looked tense.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" At this moment, Uncle Ichiraku's daughter, Ayame, suddenly stepped forward and shouted at Chen Yiban across the counter.

"Ayame, don't be rude!" Uncle Ichiraku quickly came over and covered his daughter's mouth, apologizing to Chen Yiban, "Lord Madara, please forgive us."

"Ha, it's fine!" Chen Yiban smiled faintly, unconcerned.

Then:

"Excuse me, do you have anything to eat?"

Chen Yiban asked casually, glancing at Uncle Ichiraku.

"Yes, yes, yes, my shop serves noodles. Lord Madara, what flavor do you like?" Uncle Ichiraku pushed his daughter Ayame aside and stepped forward to greet him.

At this moment, he was afraid that Chen Yiban might get displeased and unleash his Susanoo to stomp his ramen shop flat.
