Growing Stronger with Every Battle

Ever since Uchiha Yue had gained a certain degree of prestige within the Uchiha Clan and made every clansman address him as Lord Yue, his once-disgraced ancestor, Uchiha Madara, had also regained his former reputation within the clan. At the very least, the Uchiha Clan no longer viewed Uchiha Madara as a defector, but merely as Uchiha Yue's ancestor.

The reason Uchiha Gu and Uchiha Qing, who were commanding the Uchiha Clan's elite forces, had turned the conversation to Uchiha Madara was entirely because Madara had been too domineering back then. Although neither Uchiha Gu nor Uchiha Qing had ever seen Uchiha Madara fight, having grown up on tales of him, they still possessed a vague understanding of his strength.

At this very moment, seeing Uchiha Yue restrain an entire Sunagakure ninja force by himself...

Uchiha Gu even had an illusion before his eyes, as though the Uchiha Yue fighting before him was the same as the legendary Uchiha Madara!

After hearing Uchiha Gu's explanation, even Uchiha Qing, who had misunderstood him earlier, felt that Uchiha Gu's words made perfect sense. Uchiha Yue, fighting those Sunagakure ninja forces, was simply like a god of slaughter as he massacred his way through their ranks. With such formidable strength, perhaps only Uchiha Madara, now a figure of history, could have accomplished the same within the entire Uchiha Clan.

Thus, Uchiha Qing also accepted Uchiha Gu's impression of Uchiha Yue as Uchiha Madara.

Only...

As Uchiha Yue fought those Sunagakure ninja, he had no intention whatsoever of comparing himself to Uchiha Madara.

After all, Uchiha Yue's goal was to surpass Uchiha Madara, not become a second Uchiha Madara.

No matter how great Uchiha Madara's reputation was in the Shinobi World, Uchiha Yue saw him as nothing more than a failure.

A failure who
