Chapter 183 : Uchiha Madara Decides to Take Action

"Kazekaze, are you going to Mount Myoboku to learn Sage Mode?"

Uchiha Madara was stunned on the spot. He knew all too well about Sage Mode. In the Battle of the Valley of the End, Hashirama used Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands in Sage Mode to break his own Susanoo. He eventually succeeded in sealing the Nine-Tails. However, now it's not just Hashirama. Even Kazekaze wants to learn Sage Mode.

"Sage Mode isn't something that can be learned easily." Uchiha Madara couldn't help but complain. In the entire ninja world, the only ninja who could learn Sage Mode was Senju Hashirama. Even he himself couldn't enter Sage Mode. How could a seven-year-old kid like Kazekaze possibly... Possibly... Possibly... Possibly...

Uchiha Madara's expression suddenly froze. Although he wanted to say that he thought Kazekaze, at only seven years old, couldn't possibly learn Sage Mode, but... From the moment he heard the name Kazekaze until now. Hasn't everything he's done been astonishing? He casually learned the Eight Gates, opened the sixth gate, the Gate of View, in one go, and created the Morning Peacock taijutsu on his own. He defeated the famous Toroi from the Hidden Cloud Village. Then, at the border of the Land of Fire, he used Wood Release to defeat Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The Hōzuki Gengetsu from the Hidden Mist Village. Then, he fought the only man in the ninja world recognized by himself, Senju Hashirama. In a battle, they were evenly matched.

"Even the S-rank time-space ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique, was easily learned by Kazekaze. At the age of seven, he developed the Rasengan and Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. Not only that, Kazekaze also awakened the Sharingan at the age of seven. And it's... the three-tomoe Sharingan."

A seven-year-old with a three-tomoe Sharingan. Such talent is unprecedented even within the Uchiha clan.

'Even I only awakened the Sharingan at the age of fifteen. And it was just a one-tomoe Sharingan.'

Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but smile bitterly. So far, hasn't everything Kazekaze done been astonishing? Any single achievement could be hailed as genius. Not to mention, all these things happened in less than half a year. He's simply a monster. So, Kazekaze wants to learn Sage Mode?

'Can that kid really not learn Sage Mode? And once Kazekaze learns Sage Mode, his strength will undergo a tremendous transformation. Now Kazekaze not only inherits Hashirama's Wood Release but also the Sharingan of my Uchiha clan. Maybe even the Rinnegan...'

Suddenly, Uchiha Madara stood up from the earthen bed. From Konoha to Mount Myoboku, it would take at least a few months. During this time, Kazekaze would not only be far from the village but also far from Hashirama and Tobirama. For him, this was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A chance to deal with Kazekaze.

'Although I don't want to take action against Kazekaze for Hashirama's sake. But his growth rate is too fast, if not eliminated early, Kazekaze might become a hidden threat sooner or later.'

Finally, the usually calm Uchiha Madara could no longer hold back. He decided... To take action against Kazekaze.

'If you want to blame someone, blame them for letting him leave the village.' Uchiha Madara's gaze sharpened, emitting a chilling cold light. He wouldn't allow it. Nor could he let anyone interfere with his ultimate plan. Even if that person was Hashirama's grandson!

Meanwhile, at the Hidden Leaf Village training ground, Kazekaze was unaware of what was happening in the gap of hell. He looked serious as he presented his idea to Tobirama. He planned to leave the Hidden Leaf Village for a while and go to Mount Myoboku to learn Sage Mode. After all, he was just training in the village every day, carrying out trivial missions, and then resting. Instead of living this daily routine, he might as well spend his time and energy on something more meaningful.

'After all, there are too many jutsus in the Check-in System. The chance of drawing Sage Mode from it is almost one in a thousand. I might not even see the shadow of Sage Mode until I'm seventy or eighty. And having Sage Mode and not having it are two completely different concepts.'

However, these words surprised Tobirama.

"You... how do you know about Mount Myoboku?" Tobirama blinked. He was more surprised by how Kazekaze knew about Mount Myoboku than by his desire to learn Sage Mode. After all, Kazekaze was only seven years old. Logically, his understanding of this world should be very limited. But how did he know about Mount Myoboku, one of the three great inheritance places?

Noticing Tobirama's surprised expression, Kazekaze remained calm. He had already thought of a reason before bringing up this question. No matter what, Mount Myoboku wasn't a place in another world. The reason Naruto was summoned to Mount Myoboku by the toads was because Fukasaku found walking there too far. Moreover, Shima often came out to buy groceries. Hmm... Why did the toads from Mount Myoboku come to the Hidden Leaf Village to buy groceries? Forget it. Not thinking about it.

"While training, I happened to meet a talking toad by the creek, and they told me. About Mount Myoboku. And they said Mount Myoboku is one of the three great inheritance places, where there's a type of ninjutsu called Sage Mode. I want to go and learn it." Kazekaze said seriously. After all, there were so many toads in Mount Myoboku, Tobirama couldn't possibly verify each one. And from Tobirama's reaction, he indeed knew about Mount Myoboku, the three great inheritance places, and Sage Mode. But it made sense. As Hashirama's younger brother, how could Tobirama not know that his brother Hashirama could use Sage Mode?

"Toads..." Tobirama couldn't help but mutter. He hadn't expected Kazekaze to encounter a toad from Mount Myoboku during training. However, this matter didn't seem bad to him. If Kazekaze could learn Sage Mode, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to his strength. And given his talent. Tobirama really couldn't think of a reason why Kazekaze wouldn't be able to learn Sage Mode.

'In a way, being able to encounter a toad from Mount Myoboku by chance might be an opportunity for Kazekaze.'

"Alright..." Finally, Tobirama relaxed his tone and agreed to Kazekaze's request.
