Uchiha Madara's Fantasy Time

Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes at the thought.

If he could obtain such a peculiar method, his plans would be all the more certain!

Moreover, would he then have the chance to turn that blockhead Senju Hashirama into his own summon?!

Hehehehehehehehe...

At the mere thought of Senju Hashirama potentially becoming his summon in the future, the corners of Uchiha Madara's mouth couldn't help but curl upward.

If he possessed this method, he could summon that blockhead Senju Hashirama whenever he was bored just to mess with him!

The very thought was exhilarating!!!

He could even resurrect his younger brother; then the three of them—bah, bah, bah!

Then he could live happily with his brother!

As for Senju Hashirama?!

He was nothing more than a blockhead summon!!!

"Hey! Madara! Your mouth is practically twisted up to your forehead!!! What are you thinking about? Why is your expression so lecherous?!"

A voice pulled Uchiha Madara back from his fantasies to reality.

Damn it!!!

He had been fantasizing about that blockhead Senju Hashirama becoming his summon, only to turn around and realize that the summon was actually himself!

What was this called?!

Could this be the "clown was me all along" scenario?!

Damn it!!!

"Hmph! Brat! What are you going to do next?! Let me be clear, even if this old man has become your so-called summon, don't you dare think you can order me around!"

"To be honest, I never thought I could order you around. After all, in this world, besides Senju Hashirama, I'm afraid there's no one else who could..."

As Ito Hirofumi said this, a scene crossed his mind.

It was the future, when the Allied Shinobi Forces faced Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Madara was incredibly excited to see the Impure World Reincarnation of Senju Hashirama!

He had immediately wanted to engage in a passionate clash!

But Senju Hashirama had simply told Uchiha Madara to wait a moment, as he didn't have time to deal with him right now!

And as a result, Uchiha Madara had actually sat there and waited...

"Heh!!! That blockhead Senju Hashirama?! By what right does he order this old man around?! He's just a blockhead!!!"

"Alright, Madara, if you have any questions, we can discuss them later. I am going to release the Summoning Jutsu now, and you will appear in my Summoning Space!

We can meet in the Summoning Space whenever we like.

After all, I've been reverse-summoned to the Underworld for a while now; I'm afraid the people outside must be getting anxious, right?!"

"Tch! I know, brat..."

Uchiha Madara couldn't refuse; there was simply no way to reject the brat's arrangements for now, so he had to leave it at that.

Once he understood the secrets behind this brat, perhaps he would be able to possess this heaven-defying method himself!

When that day came, he would properly deal with this detestable brat!!!

Kill him?! No, no, no! That would be letting him off too easily!

He would make this brat his own summon as well!!!

Unbeknownst to him, Uchiha Madara had already been influenced by the chakra of Indra.

Given Uchiha Madara's pride, becoming a summon would normally be more unbearable to him than death!

Yet, the current Uchiha Madara had no desire to kill Ito Hirofumi...

And Uchiha Madara did not notice the subtle shift in his own mindset.

Ito Hirofumi formed hand seals and released the Summoning Jutsu; with a poof, the Uchiha Madara before him vanished into a wisp of white smoke.

At the same time, Ito Hirofumi felt a mysterious space emerge within his body—this must be the Summoning Space the system had mentioned!

He could easily perceive this space with his own chakra.

Although it was similar to the sealing space of the Nine-Tails, the environment was worlds apart!

The sealing space inside Uzumaki Naruto was a dark, gloomy sewer.

But his own Summoning Space was filled with mountains, clear waters, birds, and fragrant flowers.

He could even clearly see the look of astonishment on Uchiha Madara's face after he entered the Summoning Space!

Without dwelling on Uchiha Madara, Ito Hirofumi communicated directly with the system.

"System! Is it time to send me back now?!"

[Please prepare, Host!]

With a poof and a flash of white smoke, the Underworld returned to its former silence...

The next moment, inside the Ninja Academy classroom.

The classroom was packed to the brim at this very moment.

Present were the original teacher Iruka, all the students in the class, and the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Ito Aoyama and Ito Taiga, who had received the news, were also there, their faces etched with immense worry as they glanced from time to time at Ito Hirofumi's empty seat.

Besides these people, there was one more person in the classroom: a one-eyed man with his arm wrapped in bandages—none other than Shimura Danzō!

Shimura Danzō had somehow gotten wind of the news and rushed to the Ninja Academy.

He didn't actually care about the life or death of the students at the Ninja Academy; what he cared about was that if Ito Hirofumi had truly been reverse-summoned to some sacred land, his future potential might very well rival that of Jiraiya!

If he could recruit this brat into his own Root...

Hehehehehehe...

After all, he was the greatest Root of Konoha!

Surely this brat wouldn't refuse him, right?!

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Shimura Danzō without saying a word, though his eyes narrowed slightly.

The incident at the Ninja Academy had only just occurred, yet this guy Danzō had already received the news?!

It seems Danzō's reach is quite long...

Ito Taiga was incredibly anxious; how could his grandson just disappear so inexplicably?!

He was about the same age as the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and in his youth, he had even served under Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lord Hokage... what exactly is going on?! How could my grandson Hirofumi suddenly disappear?! If it really was a reverse-summoning, when will this child be able to return?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep drag from his pipe...

"Taiga... I am truly powerless in this matter! The only person I know of who was reverse-summoned while practicing the Summoning Jutsu is my student, Jiraiya! However, Jiraiya is not in the village right now, and I have already dispatched the Anbu to search for him!"

Upon hearing this, Ito Taiga let out a long sigh...

Just then, a poof of white smoke erupted from Ito Hirofumi's seat!

A figure appeared in the seat.
