Ito Hirofumi finally felt certain after seeing this scene. It looked like Uchiha Madara really couldn't attack him!
A smile gradually appeared on his face, and one corner of his mouth curled up.
Especially when he saw Uchiha Madara reaching out with a bewildered look, Ito Hirofumi felt that the corner of his mouth was about to curl all the way up to the sky!
"Uchiha Madara, didn't I just say it?
I signed a contract with the Underworld. After paying a certain price, I can turn the dead into my own summoned beasts!
And you—you're my summoned beast now!"
Uchiha Madara's expression turned utterly grim at those words!
"Arrogant!!!"
"Do you know who I am?!"
"How dare you call me a summoned beast!"
"Brat! No one in this world has ever dared speak to me like that!!!"
Ito Hirofumi spread his hands with an innocent look...
"Of course I know who you are! Uchiha Madara!
The former head of the Uchiha Clan, the Ghost of the Uchiha, the Dance King of Konoha. You dominated the world with your Fire Release Ninjutsu, and you and Konoha Village's First, Senju Hashirama, put an end to the era of chaos and founded Konoha Village!
You're even the man known as the God of Shinobi..."
Uchiha Madara had been rather pleased when he heard Ito Hirofumi say all that. He hadn't expected some brat to know his former reputation!
But the more Uchiha Madara listened, the more something felt off.
There was nothing wrong with being called the Ghost of the Uchiha, but what the hell was the Dance King of Konoha?!
And wasn't Hashirama that blockhead the one called the God of Shinobi? Since when was he the man known as the God of Shinobi?!
"Brat! It's obvious you never studied history properly. The God of Shinobi was Senju Hashirama!"
"I know! The God of Shinobi was Senju Hashirama, the First, and you're the God of Shinobi's man! I don't see what's wrong with that!"
"Uh..."
Maybe it was just his imagination, but after he said that, Ito Hirofumi thought Uchiha Madara's face looked a little flushed and uneasy.
No way! No way!?
Could those two best buddies really have something going on??
He'd just been joking, after all.
In his previous life, plenty of people had randomly paired characters up, like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
Or Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna.
There were even pairings like Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Fugaku...
Just like the best buddies Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, it seemed like Konoha Village was full of guys who were more than friends!
Oh, right, there were also Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō!
Ito Hirofumi thought it was pretty funny too, which was why he'd blurted it out earlier. But judging by Uchiha Madara's reaction, there seemed to be more to the story!
"No way?! You and the First really had something going on?!!!"
Uchiha Madara's old face reddened at that!
"What are you talking about?! What kind of nonsense is that?!
What could I possibly have had going on with that blockhead?!
There's something wrong with his brain!
Every night, he'd stay up and drag me out to skip stones!
What could there possibly have been between us?!!
Brat! I'm warning you not to make things up!!!"
The more Ito Hirofumi watched Uchiha Madara frantically explain himself, the more he felt that there was something very intimate between the two of them!
"Holy crap, you two even went on dates at night?!"
"AAAAAH!!! Brat! I'm going to kill you!!!"
"Give it a rest! Don't you know what state you're in? I already told you, I made a contract with the entire Underworld, and you're my summoned beast now! You can't attack me!
Besides, as far as I'm concerned, you've been resurrected, haven't you?!
If I die, my contract with the Underworld will disappear, and you'll go back to being Undead Fire!
Isn't having a flesh-and-blood body great? Isn't being resurrected great?
You wouldn't want to go back to being Undead Fire, would you... Uchiha Madara?"
"Damn!!!! Why does hearing you say that make me want to punch you so badly?!"
Uchiha Madara was furious and helpless, but he could only accept it.
He really couldn't attack the brat!
He'd even sensed his chakra just now, and there really was a Summoning Contract between him and the brat!
In other words, the mighty Ghost of the Uchiha had really become a summoned beast!!!
At that thought, Uchiha Madara lowered his hand and folded his arms over his chest. To his surprise, once he stopped wanting to kill the brat, he regained control of his body!
Damn it!!!
This hurt!!!
It hurt so much!!!
What the hell was Obito Uchiha doing?!
Why hadn't he resurrected him yet?!
And now he'd ended up becoming a summoned beast!!!
"Brat! I don't know how I ended up bound to you by this so-called Summoning Contract and became what you call a... summoned beast!!!
"But... if you think that means you can order me around, I can only tell you that you're dreaming!"
"That's fine! I know I can't order you around. After all, you're the mighty Ghost of the Uchiha. You're the man known as the God of Shinobi!"
"Shut up, brat!!!"
The more Uchiha Madara heard that phrase, "the man known as the God of Shinobi," the stranger it sounded!
And all he could picture was that blockhead, Senju Hashirama!
As Ito Hirofumi spoke, the corner of his mouth curled up again.
"Brat, is something wrong with your mouth?! That look of yours is really asking for a beating! If I could attack you, I'd give you a slap!"
"Madara! Don't be so mad. Even though you've become my summoned beast, at least you've been resurrected!
You've been resurrected, you know!
Would you rather wait for that unreliable Obito Uchiha to resurrect you?!
Besides, now that you're my summoned beast, I can at least take you back to the Ninja World to have a look..."
"Brat... what did you just say?!"
Uchiha Madara's brows drew tightly together. He hadn't expected this brat named Ito Hirofumi to reveal his plan!
He really did intend to rely on Obito Uchiha to resurrect him, but how did this brat know?!
"Huh? What did I say just now? Which part do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb! You know exactly what I'm talking about! How do you know about Obito Uchiha?!"
"Oh, that?
I know plenty. Not only do I know you're planning to rely on Obito Uchiha to resurrect you,
I also know you've been playing that idiot Obito Uchiha like a fiddle!
I even know about your Eye of the Moon Plan!
And I know that you've been played like a fiddle too, just like Obito Uchiha!!!"
