Ten thousand meters in the air, the boundless wind raged and swirled.
The sky was a deep blue, as if reflecting the sea. Looking down from here, through the ethereal white clouds, the earth was vast and expansive, with mountains and rivers connected, forming a clear map.
In the afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and the warm sunlight poured down, coating the world with a layer of light warmth.
From this angle, the continent became even more distant, as if one could hold the entire world in their hands with a gentle opening of their palm.
Suddenly, a spot in the high sky blurred. Centered on this point, the space within a few meters blurred, and countless tiny rectangular spaces flipped outward like mirrors, revealing a dark hole.
Dark and deep, as if connected to an endless abyss.
A foot stepped out of the hole first, belonging to a man in white robes, like a god.
Unlike normal humans, his skin was pale as snow, his figure slender and tall, his short, bluish-gray hair tied into a ponytail, and two special bone horns stretched across his forehead like headbands. But the most striking feature was his eyes.
They were a pair of flawless white eyes. Yes, literally flawless white. The pupils were almost invisible, and the overall texture was like jade.
He carried a slender red fishing rod and had a matching fish basket hanging from his waist. His temperament was ethereal, and he looked lazy and casual.
But as soon as he appeared, this faint sense of mystery was completely destroyed by his expression.
He closed his eyes and took a satisfied breath of air, then excitedly opened his eyes wide, letting out a rather morbid and triumphant laugh.
"Hahahaha!"
"Although I don't know what that guy did in the end, it's obvious that he failed. 'Plow' still sent me back!"
Seeming to realize that his laughter was too unrestrained, he couldn't help but cover his face, the corners of his mouth peeking out from between his fingers.
"That's good, that's good! You're still too green to fight Isshiki Otsutsuki!"
As he spoke, veins burst out on his face, and the Byakugan gained a ring of pupil patterns.
He looked down at the earth, his gaze seeming to penetrate the sky, with a touch of manic laughter: "Uchiha Shin'yu, I'm back, I'm coming to kill you now!"
"No, no!" He suddenly paused, talking to himself like a madman, "Can't be impulsive..."
His mind couldn't help but recall that god-like figure, and he shivered inexplicably.
"Even if he's just a kid now, I must be cautious. To be on the safe side, I should collect the Nine Tailed Beasts first, then refine them into pills and swallow them. That way, I'll have a better chance of winning!"
"Hahaha, yes, that's what I'll do!"
On the other side of the earth, Shin'yu, who was eating at the base, suddenly sneezed.
"With your current physique, can you still catch a cold?"
Across the table, Uchiha Madara took out a silk handkerchief and silently wiped his face.
Hikari also took out a silk handkerchief, but took the initiative to wipe Shin'yu's clothes. She stretched out her soft jade hand and touched Shin'yu's forehead.
"Don't be silly." Shin'yu smiled gently, taking the opportunity to hold her small hand in his palm.
In front of Lord Madara, Hikari was a little embarrassed and immediately withdrew her hand, her cheeks flushed.
"It's not a cold, I suddenly have a feeling of being watched, it's creepy." Shin'yu explained, frowning slightly, feeling strange in his heart, "Perhaps in the dark... someone wants to kill me?"
"Aren't there always people who want to kill you?" Madara picked up a piece of food, with an expression as if he was used to it.
"No, that's not right. A weakling wouldn't give me this kind of feeling. Logically speaking, there should be very few people in the world who can threaten me now..." Shin'yu stopped eating and began to frown in thought.
He wouldn't ignore this kind of inexplicable feeling; on the contrary, he took it very seriously.
Could it be that Black Zetsu is plotting against me?
No, that's not right. I'm mentally prepared, so this guy has no chance to attack.
Or... is Isshiki Otsutsuki planning to attack me?
That makes even less sense. I'm not an Otsutsuki, so I can't be used to feed the Divine Tree or for Body Seizing. There's no reason for him to attack.
Or... the Sage of Six Paths?
At this thought, Shin'yu suddenly became a little nervous.
This old geezer who has been living in the Pure Land for thousands of years, who knows what he's up to? Shin'yu knows very well that this guy has the power to influence the mortal world.
The methods he possesses are still unknown... If I rashly confront him, I'm really not sure I can win.
Shin'yu thought about it, but couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but feel a little troubled.
"The so-called strong are those who have the courage to face everything, and maintain elegance in the face of pressure," Madara said lightly.
Shin'yu looked up in astonishment, noticed Madara's comforting gaze, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
"Yes, Lord Madara is right."
He raised his glass and drank the tea in one gulp, and after putting down the glass, he finally regained his usual composure.
"Speaking of which, how is Lord Madara's Yin-Yang fusion progressing? Have there been any signs of the Byakugan recently?" he suddenly asked.
Madara shook his head, pulled open his collar, and the former suture had become pale, as if something was slowly growing.
"The Yin-Yang fusion has never stopped in the past ten years. I don't know when the Byakugan will finally open, but..." Madara smiled indifferently, "This is also a kind of cultivation."
"I'm enlightened." Shin'yu and Hikari both showed admiring looks.
"When I master All Things in Nature, the ultimate peace of this world will be established by our own hands!"
"Yeah!"
The two nodded at the same time, but Shin'yu pursed his lips. Having known the truth for a long time, he didn't think that the Infinite Tsukuyomi could save the world.
Unless all external threats are eliminated and all the Otsutsuki are driven out without exception.
He hesitated in his heart, wondering how Madara would react if he told him the truth.
Even more, he didn't know how to bring it up.
"Hey, you two." Madara suddenly said, causing Shin'yu and Hikari to be stunned.
Madara's voice had ups and downs, and he was obviously considering his tone, "Now that... you've confirmed your relationship, don't be so coy, as if I'm an outsider."
"Huh?"
"This?"
Shin'yu and Hikari exchanged a tacit glance, and obviously Old Madara's words were beyond their expectations.
After hesitating for a moment, Shin'yu spoke first, clearing his throat, "How did Lord Madara... how did you know?"
"I may be blind in one eye, but not completely."
Madara was somewhat speechless, "The way you two look at each other, all the little gestures, the atmosphere alone reeks of romance. Did you really think I couldn't see it?"
Shin'yu scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly. The Light, who was usually aloof, had turned into a "Steam Girl."
She held her face, which was almost completely flushed, her shy gaze darting around, as if being exposed by Lord Madara to her face was a very embarrassing thing.
Shin'yu, on the other hand, was much calmer, grabbing Light's small hand and placing it squarely on the table.
"Lord Madara, I've actually liked her for a long time." He said softly.
"Me... too..." Light whispered.
"Sigh..." Madara chuckled good-naturedly, "Do you two know how long I've been waiting for this day?"
"Huh?"
"Huh what?" Madara laughed heartily, a satisfied look on his face, "It's good that you're together. This way, our Uchiha Clan will flourish, and this path to peace won't be lonely..."
