The fortune teller said I would be Yellow Robed

Before long, Fried Rice had prepared a lavish dinner, balancing the lightness and abundance of Japanese cuisine.

There was Salt-Grilled Sea Bream, Sukiyaki, Chikuzen-ni...

It had color, aroma, and flavor in full, making anyone hungry just looking at it.

Liao Wu ate Fried Rice's cooking in great mouthfuls, and as the Cats watched the way he ate, they only felt he had become different from before.

The old Liao Wu would never have let loose and wolfed down food like this. Youth was wonderful! You could eat whatever you wanted.

Candy gnawed on a fish and said to Liao Wu, "Liao Wu, Cat Granny said you defected from Konoha?"

Liao Wu flashed his Forehead Protector, making them focus on the Scratch Mark across it. "See that? I'm a Konoha Rogue Ninja now. I kill without blinking."

Snow Leopard bared his sharp fangs. "Hmph! I've never liked those Leaf Ninja anyway. They target the Uchiha at every turn. Defecting was just right."

Snow Leopard, Candy, and the other cats were all Ninja Cats affiliated with the Uchiha, and their sense of belonging to the Uchiha was stronger than to Konoha's. Naturally, they knew all too well how the Konoha High Command ostracized the Uchiha.

Cai Lai said rather cautiously, "Wuzi, this is where you're wrong. Now that you've become a Rogue Ninja, you're enemies with the Ninja World's number-one Great Ninja Village. When you're making your way in the world, having more friends always makes the road easier."

"I think I should find a day to arrange a meeting with the Third Hokage. I'll step in and mediate, and hopefully the Third Hokage will do me the courtesy of treating what you did like a fart and letting it go."

Liao Wu picked up a piece of Tempura and stuffed it into Cai Lai's mouth. "Just eat your food!"

"Hmph!"

Tsunade snorted from the bed. Fried Rice's dishes smelled so delicious that Tsunade had been unable to hold back for a while now.

But she still clung to a Leaf Ninja's Bottom Line and absolutely would not bow her head to the born-evil Uchiha.

Liao Wu looked at Tsunade. "What are you huffing for? Come eat!"

Tsunade's Whole Body was bound by Vines, so how was she supposed to come over? Besides, she did not want to eat an Enemy's Sugar-Coated Bullets anyway.

Snow Leopard looked at Tsunade, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light. "Liao Wu, what are you keeping her for? She's the Senju Princess, the Uchiha Clan's sworn enemy."

"In my opinion, you should kill her as a sacrifice to the flag. A Rogue Ninja should act like a Rogue Ninja."

"Shut up, Snow Leopard!"

Liao Wu snorted.

Fried Rice was kindhearted. Seeing that Tsunade and Slug had nothing to eat, he specially prepared a portion for them.

Because Tsunade's body was restrained by the Vines, Fried Rice personally fed her.

Tsunade looked at the adorable Fried Rice, then glanced at Liao Wu's Starving Ghost appearance.

How could there be such a huge difference between a person and a cat?

After the meal.

Cai Lai pounded Liao Wu's shoulders, while Snow Leopard was stroked in Liao Wu's arms until he looked like he had lost the will to live.

Liao Wu went limp.

He glanced at Tsunade on the bed, then looked at the Yingying Yanyan around him, and truly felt that this was what life should be.

Unfortunately... he was currently under Madara's control.

When would he be able to become the Boss himself?

A fortune-teller had once said he would be draped in a white robe. Liao Wu believed that meant the Hokage Robe, but he hoped it would not turn out to be a burial shroud!

Candy looked at the huge Demonic Statue of the Outer Path outside the window and asked in confusion, "Liao Wu, what is that thing? It's kind of scary!"

The Cats and Tsunade also looked over, and when they saw the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, towering like a giant that reached the sky, they were all shocked.

Liao Wu stroked Snow Leopard's head and said, "That? That's Madara Old Demon's Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Legend says it's the divine artifact the Six Paths Sage used for World Creation."

With Tsunade eavesdropping nearby, Liao Wu naturally did not dare tell them everything.

Even so, the information he revealed still shocked everyone.

"The Six Paths Sage?!"

Tsunade looked at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path outside the window. Earlier, the three Sannin, together with the Summoning Beasts of the Three Great Sage Regions, had surrounded it, yet they had been unable to harm that Yama Giant in the slightest.

So it was the Six Paths Sage's Weapon! Then it was no wonder. Anything connected to the Six Paths Sage had a tremendous background.

The Cats sucked in a cold breath. Cai Lai noticed the word "Madara" in Liao Wu's mouth. "Wuzi, Wuzi, who is Madara Old Demon?"

Liao Wu answered, "Madara Uchiha!"

"Nani?!"

"Old Ancestor still isn't dead?"

"Impossible. Old Ancestor was clearly killed by the First Hokage at the Valley of the End. That's what Cat Granny said."

The Ninja Cats of the Empty Zone were not completely independent Summoning Sacred Lands like Mount Myōboku and Shikkotsu Forest. Cat Granny was human, an Old Woman who specialized in managing the Uchiha Clan's Ninja Cats.

These Ninja Cats were all attached to the Uchiha Clan and also regarded Madara Uchiha as their Old Ancestor, so they were extremely respectful toward the Uchiha Clan's Big Shots.

In a short while, Liao Wu told his Ninja Cats the specific circumstances after his defection.

Only then did the Ninja Cats understand that, in effect, Liao Wu had Resurrected Madara Uchiha.

Cai Lai leaped onto the table and burst out laughing. "Wuzi, we're rich! This time we're really rich!"

"The First Hokage Passed Away long ago. In today's Ninja World, who could possibly be a match for the Old Ancestor?"

"We Uchiha Clan... are going to rule the Ninja World!"

Tsunade stood silently off to the side. Cai Lai was right. In a world without Hashirama Senju, no one could stop Madara Uchiha!

Could the Ninja World really be about to fall into Madara Uchiha's evil hands?

There was not the slightest joy in Liao Wu's heart. If Cai Lai and the others knew about Madara's Moon Eye Plan, they would definitely make a scene.

Madara's goal was indeed to rule the Ninja World, but he would not establish a Uchiha Clan dynasty.

What he wanted to establish was a Utopia, a Utopia without conflict.

Such Person was a Sage, yes, but if he took the wrong path, then he was Thanos.

Cai Lai's wish to Defect To Madara Uchiha and divide up the Ninja World was doomed to come to nothing. He could just hang there and dream!

Candy remained calm and looked at Liao Wu. "Liao Wu, what is Madara Uchiha's goal?"

Liao Wu glanced at Tsunade. At present, Madara had only revealed the Moon Eye Plan to Liao Wu and Obito. No one else knew Madara's ultimate goal.

If others learned that Madara planned to collect the Tailed Beasts and revive the Ten-Tails, then if they were pushed too far, they might just kill the Tailed Beasts outright. Though that would not stop him, it could greatly prolong Madara's plan.

Liao Wu also had no need to reveal Madara's Moon Eye Plan. He said, "Madara's goal, huh—he believes the Ninja World founded by the First Hokage was a failure."

"So he wants to reshape the Ninja World!"

Cai Lai was overjoyed. "Great! Reshaping it is great! Come on, let's go kowtow to the Old Ancestor right now. In the future, we'll establish a Cat Country, and I'll be the Daimyo."

Cai Lai was busy going to Defect To Madara, and these cats no longer had any interest in going back to the Empty Zone to mingle with the Uchiha Clan's Ninja Cats.

Everyone wanted to invest early while Madara still had no real talent at his side. If they waited too long, there would be no positions left.

The Uchiha Clan had once betrayed Madara, so Madara did not Care About the people of the Uchiha Clan at all, but the Ninja Cats of the Empty Zone had never betrayed Madara.

The Ninja Cats still revered Madara greatly.

Cai Lai, Candy, and Snow Leopard all went to show their filial devotion to Madara, leaving only Fried Rice still feeding Tsunade.

Liao Wu walked over. "Fried Rice, I'll feed her. Make your best dish and send it to Madara Old—the Old Ancestor!"

"Got it, Master!"

Liao Wu stood up and had Fried Rice go cook for Madara.

Madara had hidden underground for so many years, relying on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path for his daily nutrition. He probably had not tasted good food in a very long time.
