Uchiha Madara: Ten Years of Ice Couldn't Cool My Passion-Now I'm Fired Up and Ready to Dance!!

"Konoha needs an explanation. This terrorist organization that deliberately instigated conflict in the Ninja world is absolutely intolerable."

Is the Amegakure provoking Konoha?

Nara Luyuan sat in his chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, making a ticking sound. He stared at the Amegakure envoy with a gloomy expression, uttering threatening words.

The Anbu intelligence agents have already thoroughly investigated the true situation of Amegakure. This attack on the Land of Iron was just a quick plunder; they had no intention of waging war against Land of Iron. Faced with the threat from Konoha, as long as Amegakure's leader Hanzo is of sound mind, he will definitely take the opportunity to leave the Land of Iron.

Don't let Konoha's current business ventures and ties fool you; his feat of taking on four opponents single-handedly First Shinobi World War still resonates throughout the entire Ninja world, and the blood on his sword hasn't even dried yet.

"It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Lu Yuan Amegakure has absolutely no intention of provoking Konoha."

Faced with Nara Luyuan's threats, the Amegakure envoy could only repeatedly admit his mistake, for a weak nation has no diplomacy. Amegakure was merely a newly emerging ninja village, not yet qualified to be an enemy of Konoha.

In particular, the envoy from Amegakure witnessed the prosperity of Konoha and had to do everything in his power to avoid becoming an enemy of Konoha.

Even if Amegakure wants to become the sixth great ninja village in the future, it will need to find one of the five great ninja villages that is easy to control, such as Sunagakure, to establish its authority in the Ninja world.

"Misunderstand?"

"I hope so. You've had your fill of ninjas sent to the Land of Iron, haven't you? Let's leave it at that!"

Nara Luyuan knew when to stop and didn't push too far; he only wanted to force the Amegakure ninjas to retreat. As for sending ninjas to help the Land of Iron wipe out the Amegakure ninjas, that was impossible.

Wealth can be accumulated in a short time, but ninjas require time to train. First Shinobi World War, Konoha suffered too many losses in ninja numbers. Small ninja clans were almost wiped out, and Konoha is still living off its past glory to recover.

It will take at least three to five years for Konoha's ninja population to experience a surge. Focusing on development is the development strategy that Uchiha Nan has set for the present.

"Absolutely, absolutely. I'll immediately relay Konoha's stance to the leader upon my return. I can guarantee that all the Amegakure ninja will withdraw from the Land of Iron within a month."

The Amegakure envoy made a guarantee. Before Hanzo arrived, he had been given a great deal of diplomatic authority. At the same time, he was also tasked with finding out the true strength of Konoha. Konoha was still the unassailable number one ninja village in the Ninja world. Amegakure could not be an enemy of Konoha. During this period of burning, killing, and looting in the Land of Iron, they had already made a fortune. They should know when to stop.

"Very well, I hope you can keep your word. Otherwise, Konoha will definitely make Amegakure pay a heavy price!"

"Of course. Please rest assured, Lu Yuan."

The Amegakure envoy nodded repeatedly, showing no doubt about Nara Luyuan's words. With Konoha's current strength, dealing with Amegakure Amegakure definitely bring about its annihilation!

Nara Luyuan smiled with satisfaction, inwardly marveling at how smoothly everything had gone. Nara Luyuan and the Amegakure envoy then left the meeting room and met the Land of Iron envoy who was anxiously waiting outside.

"The Amegakure has agreed to Konoha's request that all Amegakure ninjas within the Land of Iron be withdrawn to the Amegakure within one month."

"What, another month?"

The envoy from the Land of Iron looked miserable. He had paid such a high price, signed a treasonous agreement, and was still allowed to let the Rain Ninja burn, kill, and plunder in the Land of Iron for a month!

The Rain Ninja were skilled in their methods, chasing after and killing the nobles and merchants of the Land of Iron. The raiding techniques they had practiced in the Land of Rain were used without restraint in the Land of Iron. They had no intention of ripping off the poor; time was tight and the mission was heavy, so how much money could they possibly make from the poor?

The reason why the nobles Daimyo of the Land of Iron were so eager to seek help from Konoha was because the Rain Ninja were carrying out targeted looting. If they only robbed ordinary people, the lords wouldn't care.

"Yes, the Rain Ninja have made quite a few gains in the Land of Iron, but it will take some time to transport them back home."

The envoy from Amegakure smiled slightly. With the Nara Luyuan nearby, he didn't dare to be too arrogant. It wasn't just a matter of making a considerable profit; he practically made a fortune. Those nobles were all incredibly wealthy.

"You! You!"

"Lu Yuan, Konoha must uphold justice for the Land of Iron!"

The envoy from the Land of Iron was so angry he couldn't speak. Those spoils were the accumulated wealth of the nobles of the Land of Iron over generations, even more than ten generations, and they had all been taken away by those bandits from the Rain Ninja. Now they were even saying it to his face, it was simply an insult to his face!

"Alright!"

"This matter ends here. All ninja from Amegakure must leave the Land of Iron within one month!"

Nara Luyuan lazy to argue here. He had already done what he promised the Land of Iron, Amegakure had agreed to withdraw its troops. The rest was no longer his concern. Besides, what good could nobles possibly have? They were all just insects.

Nobles are all fat pigs; slaughtering one would provide enough food for a long time. A year ago, Konoha had a feast in the Land of Fire; I wonder when they'll get another one.

Nara Luyuan left the room; he still had many things to do, leaving only the envoys from Amegakure and the Land of Iron behind.

Seeing Nara Luyuan emerge from the room, the Amegakure envoy finally released his suppressed emotions, glancing disdainfully at the Land of Iron envoy and scoffing.

"Samurai are as weak as chicks in front of ninjas. Hmph. Just wait, this time the Land of Iron is lucky!"

After speaking, the Amegakure envoy left the room; he needed to return and report the latest intelligence from Konoha to Lord Hanzo.

The weak have no bargaining power. The envoy from the Land of Iron's face was contorted with humiliation. Konoha didn't take the Land of Iron seriously, and neither did Amegakure. The Land of Iron could no longer cling to its old ways; only by embracing Chakra could Land of Iron become strong.

The Land of Iron also needs to establish ninja villages!

Time passed quietly, and most of the sun had already set below the horizon, with only a portion remaining to illuminate the sky, creating a patch of orange-red sunset.

"Finally off work!"

"I'm so tired!"

"No night shift tonight, finally I can go to bed early!"

Madara Uchiha heard a mix of complaints and joy in his ears. He stretched his wrists slightly; even he felt a little tired after a busy afternoon, but it was nothing compared to the intensity of his battle with Hashirama. This kind of fatigue was just a way to pass the time and didn't make him want to dance at all.

"Would you like to go out for dinner, Madara Pillar?"

Despite the enthusiastic invitation from his fellow workers, Madara Uchiha shook his head and declined. He needed to save face now; he could eat anytime, but regaining his dignity couldn't be delayed!

Madara Uchiha had been waiting for this day for a very long time!

Set off!

Leaving the factory and traversing several streets of Konoha, we arrived at the card shop. As always, it was bustling with activity. The factory's afternoon closing time was an hour later than the students' dismissal time, but these students didn't go home after school; instead, they gathered here watching others draw cards. Hmph... wasting their time on frivolous pursuits!

Itou Sousuke isn't here. He's probably selling roasted sweet potatoes. He has to do odd jobs at night to supplement his family's income, so he only has a little time to waste here around lunchtime.

What a pity, this brat won't get to witness my financial power firsthand!

With a hint of regret, Madara Uchiha slowly walked to the counter, pointed to the rows of card holders, and said he would buy all the cards in the shop today until he collected them all!

"I'll buy all the cards today!"

"I want to collect all the cards!"

Madara Uchiha wealthy and extravagant, pulled out a large wad of cash and said, "Let's try out a hundred rolls first!"

Everyone present gasped in astonishment. What an arrogant old man!

Seeing Madara Uchiha's wealth and generosity, the shopkeeper eagerly took out a wallet from the counter and piled it in front of Madara Uchiha.

"Hashirama Senju."

"Hashirama Senju."

"Hashirama Senju."

Tobirama Senju. What bad luck!

"One hundred more packs, please!"

"One hundred packs!"

"One hundred packs!"

Madara Uchiha speed, tearing open bag after bag of cards to reveal the cards inside. The atmosphere became increasingly heated as Madara Uchiha drew more cards.

To date, no one has collected all the cards. The rarest cards, such as Madara Uchiha's and Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's cards, were printed in single digits by Uchiha Nan, and only one or two have appeared on the market so far.

Not only that, Uchiha Nan is also increasing the difficulty of collecting them. Recently, he also printed a batch of cards for the First Hokage of the other five great ninja villages and added them to a new card pack.

This will continue to increase, essentially emptying the wallets of the Ninja Academy students. The right to interpret this event belongs to this store. This was printed in the bottom corner of the card by Uchiha Nan when the card was released.

Although the students were dissatisfied, as long as they collected all the cards before the new cards appeared, they would definitely be able to meet Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan get his autograph.

Therefore, both financial resources and luck are indispensable in order to accumulate the necessary funds.

"Where did this old man come from? He's so rich!"

"Thank goodness I stayed here to play today, even at the risk of getting a beating from my mom. Wow, I was so engrossed in what I was watching! If I went back now, I'd definitely get my legs broken and wouldn't care. I've got this chance to witness history, so even if I get my legs broken, it's worth it!"

"This old man has already collected the One-Tailed to the Gyūki, the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the newly released First Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, the First Mizukage of Kirigakure, and the First Hokage of Sunagakure. He still has the rarest Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, and the extremely rarest of all Madara Uchiha."

"Come on, grandpa, get the spirits up!"

"Charge!"

Madara Uchiha's ears were filled with cheers and encouragement. Ten years of drinking ice could not cool his blood. Since Hashirama Senju's death, this feeling of blood surging and heart pounding had finally returned!

Draw a card!

Next pack!!

It's been so long since I've felt the joy of dancing!

Madara Uchiha speed. His experience working overtime at the factory recently had Madara Uchiha his hand speed to an even higher level, and he was tearing open the cards without stopping.

"This is... Nine-Tailed Demon Fox card!!"

"Yay, only one left, it's practically historic!!"

"Boss, another hundred packs, please!!!"

Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha pulled out another wad of cash, gesturing for the shopkeeper to quickly retrieve all the card holders from the warehouse. He wouldn't give up until he drew his own card and collected all the cards today!

The boss worked quickly and efficiently, taking out another box of cards from the inventory. Even he was caught up in the atmosphere. He was just someone who worked for Uchiha Nan, and he didn't even know when he would be able to collect a complete set of these cards. Perhaps it would be today.

"Draw a card! Draw a card!!"

"We absolutely have to get Madara Uchiha's card!!!"

Another two hundred packs of cards were torn open, but unfortunately, none of them contained the card Madara Uchiha wanted. But money is money; if these two hundred packs don't produce the desired card, then another two hundred will do!

"It's here!!!"

"Madara Uchiha's card!!"

"Awesome, witnessing history!!"

"Someone has finally collected the whole set of cards! It turns out it really is possible to collect them all! I just wish I had the money. How much did it cost?!"

Madara Uchiha smiled. He had succeeded! He had finally succeeded!

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Hahahaha!!!!

Madara Uchiha covered his face and began to laugh wildly, looking overjoyed.

"Could this old man be from the clan? He smiles exactly like my grandfather when he's excited."

A young Uchiha boy with Gunbai embroidered on his back scratched his head and said, "This posture, this expression, this laughter—it would be truly unbelievable if the old man in front of me wasn't Uchiha."

"I think so, you laugh like that when you're excited too."

"Really? Was my laughter that exaggerated?"

"Of course it's true. Is this old man really from your Uchiha?"

"I don't know. I've met all the elders in my family, but I really don't remember them."

The entire card shop was filled with cheers. After Madara Uchiha, he carefully put away the entire set of cards in the box that the shopkeeper had prepared beforehand.

"Sir, let's take a picture. You're the first customer in our store to collect all the cards."

Smile!

The shop owner pulled out his camera and took pictures of Madara Uchiha without saying a word. Madara Uchiha smiled, his fingers stiffly forming a "Y" shape.

"Sir, when do you plan to redeem your reward? I'll arrange a time with the Lord Hokage, and he'll make time to meet you in his office and sign it for you."

"I don't need it for now; I plan to give this set of cards away."

Madara Uchiha waved his hand in refusal. He reasoned that if Madara truly wanted to meet Uchiha Nan, a junior, they could do so anytime; the opportune moment simply hadn't arrived yet. As for Uchiha Nan's autograph—what was that?

"Alright then, we look forward to your visit."

Madara Uchiha thoroughly enjoyed the admiring glances from the children in the shop. "That's how it is," he thought. "The children of Konoha should admire me, Madara Uchiha. Why does he keep admiring that Hashirama, Hashirama?"

It's about time to leave. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of expression that brat Itou Sousuke will have when he sees this whole set of cards. I hope he doesn't faint from excitement.

I'm really looking forward to it!

Madara Uchiha turned to leave the shop, but the shopkeeper promptly asked Madara Uchiha what to do with the remaining cards that had piled up like a small mountain.

"Snort"

Madara Uchiha looked around, and all the kids wore expectant expressions.

"Give them all to these brats, I don't need them!"

After finishing his Madara Uchiha left the shop without looking back, followed by cheers from behind.

He accomplished his task and left without a trace, concealing his identity and fame!

That was awesome!
