After everyone had finished taking in the view and returned from the cliff to the village chief's hut, Eliya had also finished meditating.
Seeing that Uchiha Madara and the others had indeed come here, Eliya gave a slight bow and said, "Thank you for all your help during this time. Perhaps the village chief has already told you about the past of us Shaluf, as well as everything this world is facing..."
Uchiha Madara nodded. "Yes, the village chief has told us everything."
