Madara Uchiha told Yanbai more about his experiences.
His consciousness had entered another world through Yanbai's dōjutsu. At first, he had needed to adjust to the environment and the affairs his original character had to handle. Only after he had fully familiarized himself with that other life had he begun searching for Yanbai's incarnation in that world.
Yet today, Madara Uchiha had merely "logged into the game" and gone wandering when he encountered someone being chased by "monsters." After rescuing that person, Madara Uchiha had abandoned him in the desert and returned on his own.
That fellow simply had no idea how to talk to people. The moment he opened his mouth, he started throwing around names like "desert shorty" and "Lord Jackal Head."
Madara Uchiha had thought he might as well leave the fellow to fend for himself.
The two chatted a little longer about the virtual world Madara Uchiha had slipped into through Yanbai's Dōjutsu World.
That virtual world was so vast, and Madara Uchiha had so much to learn, that he asked quite a few questions.
Time slipped by without them noticing.
As an old man, Madara Uchiha had already adopted a healthy routine, eating little and going to bed early.
Yanbai, however, was bored. His bodily functions hadn't changed; if he slept early, he woke early. Unable to sleep, he thought of dropping by to visit Orochimaru and Tobirama.
Even if he was visiting his "son" and older brother, he still had to bring a gift.
Yanbai packed a large bag of roasted pine nuts to take along.
Recently, Yanbai had raided the forest stashes of some forgetful squirrels. They wouldn't remember anyway, and if he didn't take the nuts, they would only rot.
As thanks, Yanbai even gave a tenth of the roasted pine nuts
