He's Here!

Madara began thinking, most likely recalling the stone tablet from his memory.

"Boy, how sure are you of this!?"

"I am confident..." I told him, although I didn't sound as sure as I wanted it to be.

"Hmph, let's go, we need to check the Uchiha stone tablet right now. We'll experiment your power more once we're back after this." Madara said.

Similar to previously, Madara summoned a large eagle, but he didn't have to lock my arms this time since we're allied for now.

The eagle then started flying to the direction of Konoha; which is exactly when I remember: Wait isn't the Uchiha stone tablet in Konoha!? Are we just going to enter Konoha? I began worrying and was about to ask Madara,

"From your panicked face, I see that you just realised that we're going deep in the enemy's territory," Madara said, smiling.

"Wouldn't they attack us?" I asked him back.

"They can try," Madara replied while speeding up his eagle.

"Before we arrive, let me just do one little thing," Madara said, out of the blue.

His hand suddenly touched my forehead with a strong grip.

'****, is he going to kill me?' I thought to myself in a panic.

I was about to try and struggle free when Madara calmly said,

"You're still a tenacious one, aren't you. Relax. I'm just giving you a little something in case you get into trouble."

============================================================

System has recognised "Madara's gift."

You have received the ability to use a Passive skill "Madara's protection (SS rank)" twice.

You have no right to control his ability; it will appear by itself when it deemed necessary.

Upon activation, you will receive 3 seconds of Madara's Susano'o (unbreakable). At the end of the 3 seconds, it will unleash a projectile blow to whoever it deems threatening against you.

However, this skill is a double-edged sword. "Madara's protection" can be activated by Madara to hurt you whenever he wants to.

============================================================

A weird sense of heat went through my body as the system log updated this new passive skill I acquired.

I looked at how ridiculously strong the skill is, I was amazed until I saw the last sentence. Madara Uchiha, he's a cautious and scheming man, isn't he?

"That should be able to protect you in times of trouble; though that power can also hurt you if you ever cross me." He said, slightly threatening with a smile.

Soon after, I could see Konoha from a distance; I managed to look at Madara's face, noticing that even he obviously felt something from this view. A feeling of reminiscent of the older days perhaps, when he was still a Konoha shinobi. I think that this was the first time I felt that maybe Madara could be humanely after all.

The eagle still soared as high as possible, to the center of Konoha, before it started diving down fast. It was so fast that my leg began slipping off the eagle in the middle of the sky. However, Madara grabbed my clothes to ensure I didn't fall; and just like that, we were inside Konoha.

Normally, there would be a barrier team that would detect unnatural movements in Konoha. Unfortunately, the war efforts have completely reduced the amount of personnel in the barrier team to allow us to go undetected.

We landed near the previously located Uchiha village, that was ruined since quite a while ago. Madara went down from the eagle and saw the ruined Uchiha clan. He let out a slight emotional leak but continued along a certain direction.

After a few minutes, Madara began uncovering some of the ruins, when a monstrous aura appeared from below us.

"This chakra!" Madara said, heading straight down to a stairway that he discovered.

Madara nonchalantly walked even amidst this powerful chakra that was hindering my movement; it rivalled the time when Madara accidentally leaked out his aura. It was suffocating.

The closer we went down, the stronger the chakra was, but after a brief moment, it disappeared. Madara still walked quietly down until there were no more stairs. Although he was quiet, it felt as though he was very excited.

I then began to recall another chapter. 'Oh, No. The Uchiha's base is where....'

As I was thinking, I didn't notice that I walked in a room. It was the Uchiha's underground room. However, there were multiple figures already there before us. There was Orochimaru, Sasuke and his group, the previous Hokages and of course...

'The God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju!'

Author note:

-Hokage is basically the leaders of Konoha. There are currently 4 of them who were already dead (including Hashirama Senju) and Sasuke's group resurrected them.
