"Are you saying the person behind you wants to meet me?"
"That's right," Tobi nodded in affirmation.
"I have no interest in meeting someone who only knows how to hide their face." With that, Uchiha En turned to leave.
Seeing this, Tobi raised his arm: "Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs Technique!"
Several wooden rods shot out from Tobi's arm, flying towards Uchiha En.
Uchiha En immediately used his teleportation to avoid Tobi's attack, then feigned a surprised expression and asked, "Wood Release! How could you possibly use Wood Release?"
"The person behind me can answer your questions. Can you come with me now?"
To be honest, Uchiha En had long wanted to meet the legendary Uchiha Madara. He also wanted to confirm Madara's current state, and he wanted to obtain a part of the Gedo Statue's body from Madara.
A portion of the Gedo Statue's shell held significant meaning for his future plans.
Currently, Uchiha En felt he possessed a certain degree of self-preservation ability. With the speed provided by his teleportation and Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he could at least ensure his safe retreat.
Thinking this, Uchiha En decided to go and meet Uchiha Madara.
More than two hours later, White Zetsu led Uchiha En to an underground cave.
The cave was very dark, but with Uchiha Madara's arrogance, he would never stoop to petty tricks like sneak attacks. Uchiha En knew this well, so he simply activated his Sharingan and followed closely behind White Zetsu.
Reaching the deepest part of the cave, Uchiha En finally met the great BOSS of the Ninja World — Uchiha Madara.
At this time, Uchiha Madara had a full head of white hair, his face covered in wrinkles, sitting on a stone chair. A tube connected his neck to the Gedo Statue behind him, using the statue's power to sustain his life.
Even so, Uchiha En still felt a chilling aura emanating from the aging Uchiha Madara, and his Three-Tomoe Sharingan contained unfathomable Eye power.
Uchiha Madara observed Uchiha En with interest, then spoke in a nearly decaying voice, "It's been a long time since I've seen a talented young man like you!"
"I also didn't expect the famous Uchiha Madara to still be alive!" Uchiha En deliberately avoided Uchiha Madara's gaze as he spoke.
"Heh!" Hearing Uchiha En's words, Uchiha Madara chuckled and said nothing more. He stood up from the stone chair, and a blue skeletal arm emerged from his body.
"Lord Madara! Your body..." White Zetsu quickly tried to dissuade Uchiha Madara upon seeing him use Susanoo.
"It's fine! It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting young man.
Uchiha En, I wonder if you can withstand this punch from me." With that, Uchiha Madara controlled Susanoo's arm and smashed it down towards Uchiha En.
Uchiha En originally intended to dodge, but Uchiha Madara had just said he wanted to see if he could block his attack.
Coincidentally, Uchiha En also wanted to test Uchiha Madara's current strength, so he immediately activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode, gripped his nodachi tightly, and met Susanoo's arm.
"Crack~" Susanoo's fist collided with the nodachi, sending Uchiha En flying back over ten meters, slamming heavily into the underground wall.
But Uchiha En was not injured; he had managed to withstand that punch.
To be honest, Uchiha En's ability to withstand Uchiha Madara's Susanoo punch was a clever trick, thanks to the sturdiness of the nodachi, which allowed him to endure the blow.
But no matter what, Uchiha En had withstood the punch, and thus he earned the right to counterattack.
"It's impolite not to return a favor. Isn't it my turn now?" With that, Uchiha En, without waiting for Uchiha Madara's consent, formed hand signs and infused a large amount of Chakra into his Fire Release.
"Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
"Majestic Destroyer Flame, huh? How nostalgic!" With that, blue ribs appeared on Uchiha Madara's body, allowing the Majestic Destroyer Flame to blast against them, the flames continuously scorching the ribs.
After about a minute, the flames of the Majestic Destroyer Flame dissipated, and Uchiha Madara remained unharmed, sitting there.
After this round of probing, both sides tacitly ceased their attacks, silently observing each other.
Uchiha En was surprised that the aged Uchiha Madara still possessed such strength and could use Susanoo so effortlessly.
And Uchiha Madara had a certain estimation of Uchiha En's strength.
To be honest, Uchiha En was much stronger than he had anticipated. The cost of keeping him might be very high, possibly even affecting subsequent plans, making it somewhat not worth it.
Uchiha En knew very well that Uchiha Madara calling him here could only mean two possibilities: first, Uchiha Madara wanted to use him to achieve something, such as making him his representative to execute the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Second, he wanted to kill him directly because he was growing too fast and might hinder the implementation of the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Having already guessed Uchiha Madara's intentions, Uchiha En didn't want to waste any more time with him, so he directly asked, "Uchiha Madara, what is your purpose in calling me here?"
Uchiha Madara pondered for a moment before asking, "Boy, what do you think of the current Ninja World?"
"It's a complete mess, what else could it be?" Uchiha En retorted.
"Then if you were given a chance, how would you change this world?"
"I would probably unify the Ninja World first! Unify this world with absolute power, and then proceed to the next step."
"Aren't you very fond of Senju Hashirama? Senju Hashirama never had the idea of unifying the Ninja World."
"I can only say, admiration is one thing, but I don't agree with his methods.
Senju Hashirama founded Konoha to keep children off the battlefield, yet now it is precisely the children who protect the Village.
Senju Hashirama has proven his failure with facts. I will not, nor do I want to, walk the same old path as Senju Hashirama."
Uchiha Madara chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Then are you interested in helping me?"
"No interest."
"You won't even listen to my plan?"
"No need. Those with different paths cannot conspire together. My intuition tells me that you and I are most likely not on the same path. In a sense, you and Senju Hashirama are both pursuing peace.
As for me, I'm not interested in so-called peace. Peace is, at most, a side effect of what I do."
After hearing Uchiha En's words, Uchiha Madara's expression involuntarily became a few shades more serious.
This junior was more thoughtful and ambitious than he had imagined. Such a person might very well become his enemy in the future, affecting the implementation of the Eye of the Moon Plan.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara's killing intent surged again, and Uchiha En was also prepared for the breakdown of negotiations, ready to flee at any moment.
