Madara Uchiha silently watched Shimura Danzō spin his internally consistent logic.
In truth, Madara Uchiha was simply enjoying Yanbai's attention.
Madara Uchiha had no interest whatsoever in information about Uchiha Itachi.
Aside from Yanbai, Madara Uchiha was interested in no one.
Just as before, Madara had long since heard Uchiha Sumi's history from the two children, but he had never given Uchiha Sumi a second thought.
After all, to get Uchiha Sumi to marry and have children, Yanbai had even used dōjutsu to make Uchiha Sumi temporarily forget him.
Madara Uchiha thought he was quite magnanimous. So many people liked Yanbai. Rather than waste his time hating them, he might as well spend more of it quietly watching Yanbai.
As for Uchiha Itachi, perhaps he really did have some hidden history with Yanbai.
But so what?
Madara Uchiha no longer cared.
Madara Uchiha had confirmed that Uchiha Itachi was the same kind as him. They were both Yanbai's retainers.
Yet despite being his retainer, Uchiha Itachi did not even dare acknowledge Yanbai.
So Madara Uchiha had put him out of his mind.
From the moment Uchiha Itachi chose to pretend he did not know Yanbai.
From the moment Uchiha Itachi chose not to help Yanbai, Madara Uchiha had stopped giving any thought to this child who was not yet five.
A retainer who deliberately pretended not to know his own master had already sown the seeds of future disaster.
All Madara Uchiha needed to do now was refrain from mentioning anyone but himself in front of Yanbai.

Instead, he had frightened Yanbai.
Madara Uchiha found Yanbai's coaxing and fibbing rather amusing.
That was why Madara Uchiha had gone along with Yanbai to the Konoha Military Police Force.
