Would I, Uchiha Madara, Become a Summoning Beast?

Ito Hirofumi couldn't help swallowing.

Uchiha Madara's presence was simply too oppressive!

He wasn't even a Genin yet, and just the aura Madara was giving off was almost too much for him to bear!

At first, Ito Hirofumi had been pretty excited when he summoned Uchiha Madara. But then he thought about it: how could someone like Madara ever willingly become his summoning beast?!

If Madara found out the truth, wouldn't he slap him to death in one blow?!

"System!!!"

[I'm here!]

"Uchiha Madara has become my summoning beast now, right?!"

[That's right!]

"Is this guy going to attack me?! Like, accidentally slap me to death or something?!"

Summoning beasts formed from the dead have the same relationship with their summoners as normal summoning beasts do with theirs!

The system can guarantee that a summoning beast cannot attack its host, but it cannot control the summoning beast's thoughts or actions!

Because of the special nature of the dead, a Summoning Space will form inside the host's body!

The summoned dead will temporarily reside within the Summoning Space.

And because the host is carrying the system, if the host dies, the summoning beast will return to the Underworld!

"A Summoning Space? Is it like Uzumaki Naruto's Sealing Space?"

[That's right!]

Only after hearing the system's explanation did Ito Hirofumi finally relax. As long as Madara couldn't attack him, that was good enough!

At least he didn't have to worry about Uchiha Madara slapping him to death in a bad mood!

Besides, Madara couldn't let him die, either. If he died, the system would disappear, and once the system disappeared, Madara would return to the Underworld as a spirit.

Although he'd become Ito Hirofumi's summoning beast, this state still counted as a kind of alternative resurrection for Uchiha Madara.

After all, hadn't Madara's greatest plan been to come back to life?!

This state probably counted as halfway there...

"Hey, brat, I'm talking to you!"

By now, Uchiha Madara had figured out the condition of his body. It was a little unusual, but he really had come back to life, and his body was now completely flesh and blood!

And he was in his absolute prime!

It was just that there seemed to be something wrong with his chakra. In particular, it seemed to be connected somehow to the brat standing in front of him!

It was just like when he had signed a Summoning Contract with a summoning beast...

Who exactly was this brat?

And in what state had he been brought back to life?!

He'd just sensed the brat's chakra, too. It was pitifully weak!

He could probably crush him with hardly any effort!

"Uchiha Madara!" Ito Hirofumi took a deep breath and looked at the man in front of him.

"You know my name?!"

Hearing the other party call him by name, Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. Could this brat be a descendant of the Uchiha Clan?

He was quite handsome, too, with the bearing of an Uchiha!

It was just that he was far too weak. Had the Uchiha Clan's brats really become this weak?

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ito Hirofumi!"

"Ito?!"

At the sound of his surname, Uchiha Madara furrowed his brows even more. He hadn't expected this brat to be unrelated to the Uchiha Clan!

That made sense, at least. How could an Uchiha be so weak?

"That's right! My name is Ito Hirofumi! I'm from Konoha in the Land of Fire!"

"Konoha?!"

At the mention of Konoha, Uchiha Madara's expression turned extremely complicated. There was anger in it, and longing, as well as nostalgia for better times...

"Brat from Konoha, can you explain what's going on? If I'm not mistaken, we're still in the Underworld, right?!

Why are you here, brat?!

And why have I come back to life in this state?!"

Ito Hirofumi thought about how he should explain it to Uchiha Madara.

There was no way he could tell anyone about the system. He wouldn't share anything about it with anyone but himself!

But how was he supposed to explain that Uchiha Madara had become his summoning beast?!

After thinking it over, Ito Hirofumi spoke...

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush!

I was reverse-summoned from the Underworld!"

"Reverse-summoned?!" Uchiha Madara knew what reverse summoning meant, but he'd never heard of the Underworld summoning a living person!

And what did this brat being reverse-summoned have to do with his resurrection?!

By now, Uchiha Madara was certain his resurrection had something to do with the brat in front of him. He could clearly sense that faint connection between their chakras.

But how could this brat possibly have a way to bring him back to life?!

"That's right, reverse-summoned!

I signed a contract with the Underworld!

After paying a certain price, I can sign a contract with a summoning beast from the Underworld.

And you, Uchiha Madara, are the first summoning beast I've contracted!

You should have been in the form of a Soul Fire, but after I contracted and summoned you, you came back to life!"

Uchiha Madara hadn't heard a human voice in who knew how long, so at first he'd listened with great interest.

But then he heard that he'd become a so-called summoning beast, and that this brat had summoned him!

Ridiculous!!!

Utterly laughable!!!

I, Uchiha Madara, in all my greatness!

I, the Ghost of the Uchiha!

One of the big shots of Konoha!

The God of Shinobi's best buddy!

The man known as one of the Twin Heroes of the Ninja World!

Had actually become a... summoning beast?!!?

Uchiha Madara simply couldn't accept that he'd become a summoning beast!

Buzz!!! Shing!!!!

An incredibly terrifying amount of chakra burst from Uchiha Madara, shooting skyward like a pillar of light!

Ito Hirofumi couldn't help feeling nervous at the sight, but remembering that Madara couldn't attack him helped him calm down a little...

"Brat! Do you know what you're saying?!!"

Uchiha Madara slowly walked toward Ito Hirofumi, reaching out with one hand as if to strangle the ignorant brat to death!

He had actually called him a summoning beast!

Unforgivable!!!

But the next moment, Uchiha Madara was stunned. His whole body seemed to have been locked in place. No matter what he did, he couldn't reach the other party's neck!

His body was no longer under his control!

"Uh... brat! What have you done?! What's wrong with my body?!"
