You two are still going on a date tonight?

Seeing this scene, Ito Hirofumi finally confirmed it: it seemed Uchiha Madara truly had no way to lay a hand on him!

A smile gradually surfaced on his face, and the corner of his mouth curled upward.

Especially as he watched Uchiha Madara standing there with his hand outstretched and a look of utter astonishment, Ito Hirofumi felt as if his own smirk was about to reach the heavens!

"Uchiha Madara, didn't I just tell you?

I have signed a contract with the Underworld. By paying a certain price, I can turn the undead into my own summoning beasts!

And you, you are now my summoning beast!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Madara's expression turned incredibly ugly!

"Arrogant!!!"

"Do you know who this old man is?!"

"To dare call this old man a summoning beast!"

"Brat! In this world, no one has ever dared to speak to this old man like that!!!"

Ito Hirofumi spread his hands with an innocent look...

"Of course I know who you are! Uchiha Madara, right?

The former patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, the Asura of the Ninja World, the Dance King of Konoha. With your Fire Style ninjutsu, you dominated the world and, alongside the First Hokage of Konoha, Senju Hashirama, you quelled the chaotic era and established Konoha!

You are even known as the man who is the God of Shinobi..."

Initially, Uchiha Madara was quite pleased to hear Ito Hirofumi's words; he hadn't expected a mere brat to know his former reputation!

However, the more Uchiha Madara listened, the more something felt off.

"Asura of the Ninja World" was fine, but what the hell was "Dance King of Konoha"?!

And besides, wasn't the one called the God of Shinobi that blockhead Hashirama? Since when was he the man known as the God of Shinobi?!

"Brat! It's clear you haven't studied your history well; the God of Shinobi is Senju Hashirama!"

"I know that! The God of Shinobi is Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage, and you are the man of the God of Shinobi! I don't see anything wrong with that, do you?!"

"Uh..."

I don't know if it was his imagination, but Ito Hirofumi felt that after he said those words, the Uchiha Madara before him seemed to have a slight, unnatural flush on his face.

No way! No way!?

Could it be that these two best friends really have something going on??

He had just been spouting nonsense.

After all, in his past life, there were plenty of people randomly shipping characters, like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

Or Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna.

There were even the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku, and so on...

Just like that pair of best friends, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, it seemed like Konoha was full of such pairs!

Oh right, and there were also Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō!

Ito Hirofumi found it quite amusing, which is why he had let it slip out, but looking at Uchiha Madara's reaction, there seemed to be a lot more to the story!

"No way?! Don't tell me you and the First Hokage really have a thing going on?!!!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Madara's old face flushed red!

"What kind of talk is that?! What is that supposed to mean?!

What could I possibly have with a blockhead like him?!

That guy has something wrong with his brain!

Every night, instead of sleeping, he'd drag me out to skip stones!

What could I possibly have with him?!!

Brat! I warn you, stop talking nonsense!!!"

Watching Uchiha Madara frantically explain himself, Ito Hirofumi felt even more convinced that the two were filled with "bromance"!

"Damn, so you two even went on dates at night?!"

"Ahhhhh!!! Brat! This old man is going to kill you!!!"

"Forget it! Don't you know what state you're in right now?! I already told you, I've contracted the entire Underworld, and you are now my summoning beast! You have no way to harm me at all!

Besides, in any case, this state of yours counts as being resurrected, right?!

If I die, the contract with the Underworld will vanish, and you'll have to return to the state of Undead Fire!

Isn't a flesh-and-blood body better? Isn't being alive good?!

After all, you don't want to go back to being Undead Fire, do you... Uchiha Madara?"

"Damn it!!!! Why is it that after hearing you speak, this old man wants to beat you up so badly!"

Uchiha Madara felt incredibly angry and helpless in his heart, but he had no choice but to accept it.

After all, he truly could not bring himself to lay a hand on this brat!

Furthermore, he had just sensed his own chakra and confirmed that a summoning contract truly existed between him and this kid!

In other words, he, the dignified Asura of the Ninja World, had actually become a summoning beast!!!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara withdrew his hand and crossed his arms over his chest. To his surprise, once he decided not to kill the brat, his body truly returned to his own control!

Damn it!!!

Pain!!!

It hurts so much!!!

What on earth is that Obito playing at?!

Why hasn't he resurrected this old man yet?!

In the end, he had actually become a summoning beast!!!

"Brat! Although I don't know why I've entered into this so-called summoning contract with you and become what you call a... summoning beast!!!

But... if you think you can order me around because of this, then I can only tell you that you're overthinking it!"

"It's fine! I know I definitely can't order you around. After all, you are the dignified Asura of the Ninja World, and you are the man known as the God of Shinobi!"

"Shut your mouth, brat!!!"

The more Uchiha Madara heard the phrase "man known as the God of Shinobi," the stranger he felt!

And his mind was filled with the image of that blockhead Senju Hashirama!

As Ito Hirofumi spoke, the corner of his mouth began to curl upward.

"Brat, is there something wrong with your mouth?! That look is truly asking for a beating! If it weren't for the fact that I cannot lay a hand on you, I would really like to slap you across the face!"

"Madara! Don't be so angry. Even though you've become my summoning beast, you've been resurrected, haven't you!

This is a resurrection!

Don't tell me you were still waiting for that unreliable Obito to bring you back?!

Besides, at the very least, now that you've become my summoning beast, I can take you back to see the Ninja World..."

"Brat... what did you just say?!"

Uchiha Madara's brows were tightly furrowed now, for he had not expected this brat named Ito Hirofumi to actually blurt out his plans!

He was indeed relying on Obito to resurrect him, but how could this kid possibly know that?!

"Huh? What did I just say? Which part are you asking about?!"

"Don't play dumb! You should know exactly which sentence I'm talking about! How do you know about Obito?"

"Is that all?!

I know plenty of things. Not only do I know you're relying on Obito to resurrect you, I also know you've been running that moron Obito in circles!

I even know about your Eye of the Moon Plan!

And I also know that, in reality, just like Obito, you are also being played for a fool by someone else!!!"
