After learning of Uchiha Madara's grand ambition, besides deep shock, Kakuzu also felt a hint of excitement.

Now that I've surrendered to Uchiha Madara, doesn't that mean that in the future undertaking of unifying the ninja world, I too can participate to some extent!?

Although Uchiha Madara had more or less just painted a big picture for Kakuzu, it didn't hinder the sweetness of this big picture, nor did it hinder Kakuzu's yearning for it.

Kakuzu didn't ask any more questions after that.

He knew Uchiha Madara's intentions and was already quite satisfied. Moreover, he had just surrendered, and Uchiha Madara had been so candid with him; it could be considered quite trusting of Kakuzu. Asking more would be inappropriate.

After half a day's work, Uchiha Madara and Kakuzu, carrying a large amount of supplies, money, and documents for the ceding of territory from the Land of Fire, returned to Uzu Village.

Upon his return, Uchiha Madara received a grand welcome from Uzu Village!

Uzu Village ninjas lined up in welcome, and Uzu Village civilians gathered on both sides of the street. Under the escort of numerous ninjas, Uchiha Madara, at the forefront, with cart after cart of considerable supplies, entered Uzu Village, receiving the ardent cheers and adoration of the Uzu villagers lining both sides of the street, under the gaze of tens of thousands.

A sea of people, a cacophony of voices, as far as the eye could see, were all wildly cheering people. Today's Uzu Village was in a state of 563 celebration and clamor.

It was impossible for the people of Uzu Village not to be happy.

Ever since Uchiha Madara took control of Uzu Village, the internal strength of Uzu Village had been increasing day by day, not to mention that the lives of ordinary Uzu Village civilians had been improving more and more. This was evident to all.

Previously, the Land of Rain, as a small country, and Amegakure, as a small ninja village, could only survive in the shadow of the five great nations and the five great ninja villages. The civilians of Amegakure, during the Second Great Ninja War, suffered indescribably due to high taxes and conscript labor.

Ever since Uchiha Madara took control of Uzu Village, at the very least, high taxes and arduous labor services were abolished first.

Afterwards, the large amount of compensation supplies from Iwagakure and the Land of Earth not only greatly increased the pride of Uzu Village civilians, but these supplies and money were also used to improve their lives. Their lives indeed became better and better.

Although Uchiha Madara later initiated a talent introduction plan, and those without ability were all expelled, those expelled were all idlers waiting for death. As long as Uzu Village civilians weren't particularly lazy, (bheb) as long as they had a skill, even if it was just brute strength, they could live a decent life with their families.

Who brought all this about? The civilians of Uzu Village knew very well.

The suffering common people are all practical. Whoever treats them well, they will treat well. They don't care if Uchiha Madara's reputation is that of an Asura or a great demon of the ninja world; in their hearts, Uchiha Madara is like a savior.

And this time, Lord Uchiha Madara had defeated the strongest Konoha, not only bringing back twice as many supplies as before, but also greatly increasing the land of the Land of Uzu. How could this not make the Uzu Village civilians grateful?

Therefore, such a grand welcome, with the whole village turning out, was entirely from the hearts of the Uzu Village civilians, without a hint of coercion from the ninjas!

Amidst this welcoming crowd lining the streets, Uchiha Madara led the convoy through the main avenue of Uzu Village.

To be honest, this feeling of being watched by tens of thousands and adored by myriads, Uchiha Madara was experiencing it for the first time.

Although he was somewhat unaccustomed to it at first, Uchiha Madara soon began to enjoy this feeling. Though his demeanor remained cold and stern, a faint smile had begun to appear, and he waved to his people.

Naturally, the Uzu Village civilians responded to their leader with the loudest voices!

"Lord Madara!" again and again, resounding through the skies of Uzu Village.

As the convoy advanced, Kakuzu, who was just behind Uchiha Madara, was deeply moved by this.

To think that I, a rogue ninja who has drifted through the ninja world for many years, when have I ever encountered such a scene?

Looking at this leader of Uzu Village before him, Kakuzu felt as if his originally icy heart was being ignited by a small flame by the cheering crowd, a flame that was extremely warm.

Beautiful moments are always fleeting. Uchiha Madara led the convoy through the main street of Uzu Village and entered the center of power in Uzu Village, the administrative building.

Ordering the relevant personnel to unload the goods, store the abundant supplies in the warehouse, and deposit the money in the treasury – these minor matters naturally did not require his attention.

Leading Kakuzu into his office, sure enough, Uchiha Madara's own wood clone was waiting for him here.

Just as Zetsu had said, this wood clone's personality was relatively rigid. He nodded expressionlessly at Uchiha Madara and said very seriously:

"Main body, you're finally back. In these days you were away, everything in Uzu Village has been normal. On the desk is my summary of the relevant work during this period. Remember to take a look."

After saying this, the wood clone transformed into a piece of wood and drilled into Uchiha Madara's body.

Tsking his tongue, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but compare this wood clone with the previous one...

Sure enough, without comparison, there's no harm!

Walking very jauntily to the back of the office desk, Uchiha Madara sat down in the chair that symbolized the highest position, his posture lazy yet powerful, like an uncle in command.

Kakuzu didn't act like an outsider either and casually sat down on the sofa.

Outside, the cheers of the Uzu Village civilians had not yet dispersed, drifting in through the window.

Uchiha Madara proudly pointed outside and asked Kakuzu:

"Kakuzu, this kind of situation, is this the first time you've seen it?"

Kakuzu nodded:

"It is indeed the first time. To be honest, I'm a bit overwhelmed by favor. Of course, this feeling... is not unpleasant."

"Heh heh, it's not the first time I've seen it, but it is the first time I've personally experienced this kind of situation."

"Back then, when Konoha was established, I saw the scene of Hashirama being celebrated and adored by everyone. That scene back then wasn't much different from today's."

"However, back then, that was for Hashirama. I merely stood silently to the side. Experiencing it personally today, I seem to be able to understand Hashirama a little..."
