"We're parting ways this time, and I don't know when we'll be able to meet again, Uncle Madara," Xing En said.
"That's why I hate times like this most. Parting is always so awkward. From now on, don't make friends when you're out there," Xing En said.
"That feeling isn't called awkwardness. It should be called sadness," Uchiha Madara said.
"This is only a temporary farewell, not a permanent departure. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll definitely meet again. After all, my Magic Stone is in your hands," Uchiha Madara said to Xing En with a smile.
"That's why I've traveled across this Elzeran Continent for so many years. Since I was ten, all the way until now, I've always been alone," Xing En said, looking at the desolate distance.
"Maybe it's because no one wants to be friends with you," Uchiha Madara said with a smile. "With a personality like yours that only knows how to stir up trouble, I wouldn't have wanted a friend like that when I was young."
"Uncle Madara, you may not have liked making friends like that when you were young, but now that you're old, you seem to like it quite a bit. How would you even keep going without me?" Xing En said.
"I don't need someone to look after me in my old age yet," Uchiha Madara said to Xing En with a smile. "Let's go. Don't forget about my Magic Stone. I'll be asking you for it someday."
"If possible, I'll do my best to help you undo that Archmage's seal. But I can't be sure. We'll talk about it the next time we meet," Xing En said.
"I'm off." As Uchiha Madara spoke, he turned and left. Xing En waved to him and headed in the opposite direction.
