Lord Hokage, Please Test Me as Much as You Like!

Of course, after much consideration, Deidara didn't kill these people; he simply imprisoned them.

He'll release them once Uchiha Madara.

Persistence pays off, and he finally got what he was waiting for.

On the day Uchiha Madara left, the farewell party held by Iwagakure was quite grand.

Every single person from the top ranks was present, and their expressions were perfectly appropriate.

Leaving a ninja village was not the first time for Uchiha Madara.

But this was the first time I'd ever been seen off with tears in my eyes.

Even someone like him, who had experienced countless conspiracies, intrigues, and open and covert attacks during those chaotic times, felt disgusted by it.

This also made him increasingly disdainful of modern ninjas.

Back then, the chubby kid dared to bare his teeth at him.

Although he beat the chubby boy up, he actually appreciated the boy's spirit.

Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a beating; they'd send them away directly.

Even without the chubby kid, Iwagakure has fallen into decadence!

Uchiha Madara had some minor regrets.

He lived for so many years, witnessing his old friends pass away one by one, like leaves falling in the wind.

Even he gets sad.

Huh? You're saying he has no old friends? That's going too far!

He's beaten up so many people, but he didn't kill them all, so how come he has no old friends left?

Therefore, Uchiha Madara's assessment of the current Rock Ninja was -- "a disgraceful bunch."

Ignoring the meaningful glances from the Rock Ninja, Uchiha Madara took Nagato and left the village.

Nagato remained silent throughout.

Iwagakure quickly disappeared behind the two.

As Nagato traveled through the Land of Land of Earth, he had a lot to say.

What he really wanted to say was—you lied to me so badly!

To others, Uchiha Madara of Leaf Village Asura, but in his own eyes now, he's just a long-haired monster who doesn't keep his word.

What kind of training is this? It's just a series of ways to find a sense of superiority in him.

The most outrageous thing is—wasn't it said that we could go back before the battle Rain Village and Sand Village was over?

Fortunately, Leaf Village was still somewhat considerate and intervened to mediate; otherwise, Rain Village have already been causing chaos on the land of the Land of Wind.

Then what kind of Rain Village will there be when he goes back?

Sasori! Kakuzu! You've disappointed me greatly!

Konan doesn't know how to fight, and neither do you!?

Uchiha Madara suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Although Nagato didn't know what crazy thing he was going to do next, she was used to it and stopped.

Uchiha Madara turned around and looked at Nagato.

The two stared at each other for a long while.

"Did you use the stuff that monk put on you?"

Nagato was taken aback upon hearing the question.

On their way to Iwagakure, they encountered a monk with an unusual hairstyle. The monk kept complaining about the tyranny of Leaf Village and how the world had suffered under Leaf Village, which Nagato found very satisfying.

There was a strong sense of regret that they hadn't met sooner.

But Uchiha Madara didn't seem to like hearing that, and then fought with the monk on the grounds that "how dare you block my way, Uchiha Madara".

It was a powerful monk who, after covering his face with strange tattoos, shattered Uchiha Madara's Susanoo.

Not only that, but it also possesses a strange secret technique that allows it to absorb or shrink Uchiha Madara's Ninjutsu.

This piqued Uchiha Madara's interest.

Then this former Leaf Village Asura fought the monk for quite some time with his superb dance skills, and also helped the Land of Earth with some afforestation.

Later on, Uchiha Madara got so addicted to fighting that he even awakened the Rinnegan.

Finally, the monk stopped and, in the name of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," left Nagato a secret technique. Nagato tried it once and found that it could indeed effectively enhance his power.

Furthermore, the talisman in the heart also appears to be affected.

Of course, this was a secret, and he had never told Uchiha Madara.

Now that Uchiha Madara has brought it up himself, could it be that he's discovered something?

"I've used it once," Nagato said. "It's a very good secret technique."

How are you feeling?

"Excellent, I've improved in every aspect." Nagato silently added in his mind—except for Genjutsu.

He might actually be lacking in this area.

"Hmm, that sounds like Senjutsu." Uchiha Madara, asked no more questions, and continued walking forward.

"Senjutsu... Mount Myoboku?" Nagato has gained a lot of knowledge during his recent intensive training.

For example, he now knows about the three great immortals.

"Someone like you won't be able to get into Mount Myoboku." Uchiha Madara said without turning his head. "Shikkotsu Forest is out of the question, but Ryūchi Cave might be a possibility."

Nagato: "So that monk was from Ryūchi Cave?"

Uchiha Madara did not answer this question.

Because it's just so stupid. Besides, when did he ever say it was Senjutsu?

Don't understand what "like" means?

However, the Uzumaki Clan and Senju Clan are known for producing reckless brutes, and Nagato can be said to have inherited this trait from his ancestors.

Those were truly a group of reckless brutes that I fondly remember!

Chapter Thirty-Four: Lord Hokage, please test me!

While Uchiha Madara was reminiscing about his deceased friends on the land of the Land of Earth, another Uchiha Clan with the Rinnegan was in his office, striving to present an impeccable smile.

The biggest problem with Hokage is that even if the opponent is a pig, the first thing you have to say is, "You're such a handsome guy."

"So, you're applying to join Leaf Village?"

The Fifth Hokage of Hidden Leaf Village looked at the two Jinchūriki in front of him with a kind expression.

Fu, the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki, comes from Takigakure.

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Bi, I can't remember which generation he was and I'm too lazy to ask, came from Kumogakure).

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

"No, Lord Hokage."

The two Jinchūriki spoke in unison, but their exact words were slightly different.

Uchiha Shingen's gaze immediately fell on Fu, who had said "no".

His smile became even more friendly.

"Oh? So what brings you to Leaf Village?"

"Lord Hokage..." Fu was a little nervous. Although she had successfully arrived in Leaf Village with the help of Namikaze Minato, she had witnessed the entire battle even in Leaf Village.

The Seven-Tails, Chomei, thoughtfully relayed everything it had seen to her through its Chakra.

Fu felt that her understanding of ninjas for most of her life might have been wrong.

The understanding of Jinchūriki is also incorrect.

"It is so. Our village chief has a handwritten letter, instructing me to deliver it to you personally. Takigakure is in dire need of Hidden Leaf Village's help right now." Fu quickly pulled out a slightly crumpled letter from her few clothes. "If the Lord Hokage is willing to lend a helping hand, Takigakure will do everything in its power to repay your kindness."

"Oh?" Uchiha Shingen looked quite surprised. "The peaceful and unassuming Takigakure has actually been threatened. Let me see."

Uchiha Tekka took the letter, checked it, and then handed it to Uchiha Shingen.

Uchiha Shingen opened the letter and began to read it.

Judging from the handwriting, it's clear that the leader of Takigakure was in a rather complicated mood when writing the letter, and it seemed to be written in a hurry.

After reading the contents, Uchiha Shingen placed the letter on his desk, then looked at the two people still standing there, as if he had just noticed them, and pointed to the sofa.

"Don't stand, let's sit down and talk."

The tea table remains unchanged, but the characters come and Hokage.

This coffee table was used from the Third to the Fifth Hokage, which is much "longer" than the ninjas in the Hokage Building.

However, by the fifth generation, the bottles and jars on it no longer contained goji berries.

Here we must mention Uchiha Tekka's many life skills; besides being able to write calligraphy, he was also quite good at brewing tea.

Uchiha Shingen always felt that this guy's talent was really somewhat misallocated.

The two Jinchūriki from other villages didn't dare refuse the tea the Hokage had ordered to be Hokage. They sat upright on the sofa, holding the hot tea without complaining about the heat.

Uchiha Shingen sat down opposite them, read the letter again, and then said to Fu, "I roughly understand what Takigakure means. To be honest, there's not much of a problem."

Fu was overjoyed upon hearing this, but then she saw the Fifth Hokage in front of her immediately utter a not-so-good term.

"But..."

Fu resumed her cautious expression and pretended to listen attentively.

"Strictly speaking, Hidden Leaf Village and Takigakure are not allied; they are merely friendly. The treatment they receive will certainly differ from that of allies," said Uchiha Shingen. "Takigakure's request for Hidden Leaf Village's temporary protection is not a major issue. As one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Leaf Village will fulfill its responsibilities. However, the specific arrangements need to be carefully discussed by both sides."

Fu breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Uchiha Shingen would say something like, "Since it's about protecting the Tailed Beasts, let's extract them first."

After all, this fifth-generation leader is quite notorious for his double standards.

Takigakure has maintained neutrality over the years, which has saved him a lot of trouble, but conversely, it has also left him with no personal connections to warrant special treatment.

"I understand. Before I came, the chief instructed me to follow your orders."

Fu quickly replied.

Uchiha Shingen nodded, indicating his approval of Takigakure's attitude.

Since you understand the situation, that makes things easier.

He then turned to look at the Eight-Tails' Jinchūriki.

Unlike Fu, this one is technically missing-nin.

There was no longer a ninja village behind him.

"Young man, do you mean you want to join Leaf Village?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Bi nodded vigorously. "Actually, I've loved the culture of the Land of Fire since I was little, and I've always wanted to join the Land of Fire."

"... Is that so?" Uchiha Shingen thought to himself, unconvinced.

He could smell the LSP even from across a continent.

During his raid on Kumogakure, he also did some research on the Kumogakure's society and discovered something quite peculiar—both the men and women in the village had a preference for the type of partners from the Land of Fire.

This is unbelievable! Is this some kind of matchmaking guide where the unattainable is always the best?

"As Hokage, I welcome your idea," Uchiha Shingen said after carefully considering his words. "However, as you know, your situation is special, and you will be under observation for a period of time. During this period, you will not only be subject to supervision, but your rights will also be restricted... well, let me be frank. Apart from the most basic requirements, there will be no other restrictions."

"Ah, no problem at all," Bi said enthusiastically. "I'm very willing to contribute to the village. Lord Hokage, please test me! I can handle it!"

I didn't really want to test you...

Uchiha Shingen silently responded in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained a very good attitude.

"Since you put it that way, I'm relieved. Of course, if there's anything you feel is inappropriate, you can come and let me know. The village is currently adjusting various mechanisms, so consider this your first task: to verify the feasibility of the new mechanisms."
