Uzuyin Village began its bustling work. Relocating the village and its people were subsequent tasks; the first thing to do was to dispatch numerous ninja to various locations to garrison them. This, too, was no small undertaking.
Uchiha Madara had always thoroughly disliked such chaotic matters.
He wasn't a workaholic; there was no need for him to personally attend to everything. He could delegate the miscellaneous tasks for others to handle. He only needed to ensure the overall direction was correct.
Thus, a pile of messy affairs was thrown to the advisors below. Uchiha Madara sat calmly on his "fishing platform," waiting for those below to complete their work and submit their reports.
Kakuzu was the same. He calmly waited with Uchiha Madara, only needing to lead the ninja out to garrison the areas after they had made the relevant preparations.
What, you ask if they would engage in underhanded schemes?
Heh heh, Uchiha Madara had enough confidence. Under the intimidating force of his prestige, no one would dare to employ such tactics. They would definitely work diligently and with all their effort, rest assured.
And so, in Uchiha Madara's office, Kakuzu was drinking tea and chatting with Uchiha Madara.
Faint, clear tea emitted wisps of steam, curling above the teacup, appearing quite serene.
Kakuzu held a cup of tea, lounging on the sofa, eyes closed in repose, letting out a sigh…
"Ah… this feeling, it's truly too peaceful. After rushing about in the ninja world for so many years, I've never felt as tranquil as I do at this moment. Lord Madara, to be able to come here, it's truly… excellent…"
Uchiha Madara's posture was much the same, similarly lounging in his office chair, his tone leisurely:
"Kakuzu, I thought only people like me would know how to enjoy life. I didn't expect someone like you could also find peace…"
"Lord Madara, are you mocking me? If not forced by circumstances, who would willingly live that kind of life, constantly on a knife's edge? Now that I can be at ease, of course, I want to enjoy it for a while…"
"Mm, you're right. I hope that one day, everyone in the world can live such a peaceful life…"
"Lord Madara… even you don't believe that, do you?"
"Mm… you're right. Although a moment of tranquility is quite nice, I'm not someone who is content with the status quo. For someone like me, stirring up storms is what I ought to be doing…"
"You just said that, and now you're contradicting yourself. Lord Madara, you really are…"
In a moment of silence, a white, indistinct figure emerged from the ground, looking around the office's serene atmosphere with a bizarre expression, glancing left and right, a little puzzled:
"Hey! What's going on! Why is it so quiet! Lord Madara, didn't you have something for me?"
Uchiha Madara didn't even open his eyes, gesturing to White Zetsu to look at Kakuzu:
"Ah, right! Look, Kakuzu, you know him too. From now on, he will join my command. Like you, he will be considered my confidant! From now on, you two are colleagues!"
Uchiha Madara then gestured to Kakuzu, introducing White Zetsu:
"Kakuzu, you know White Zetsu. I was the one who sent him to contact you back then. This fellow has an erratic personality and knows a bit of Mokuton. Although his individual strength isn't very high, he possesses the strongest intelligence gathering and reconnaissance abilities in the entire ninja world. He is my confidant."
Kakuzu opened his eyes, holding his teacup, nodded at White Zetsu, and waved his hand:
"Yo!"
"What the heck is 'Yo' supposed to mean? Is this how you greet me!?"
Black lines appeared all over White Zetsu's head. He stopped bothering with Kakuzu and turned to face Uchiha Madara:
"Lord Madara, did you call me just to introduce me to this guy?"
Uchiha Madara still didn't even lift his eyelids, waving his hand at White Zetsu:
"Not just that. White Zetsu, you also know that my territory has greatly expanded recently. But with more people and more land, there will inevitably be more trouble. You need to closely monitor the specific situation in the new territories. If there are any restless individuals, and you can handle them, then handle them yourself. If you can't, you can contact Kakuzu for help!"
"Oh! So that's how it is. I understand!"
Then, White Zetsu looked around uncomfortably, suddenly feeling that the quiet atmosphere around him didn't suit his personality at all.
"Lord Madara, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading back first!"
"Wait! Don't go!"
"Lord Madara, is there anything else?"
Uchiha Madara sat up, trying to make himself look more upright, and asked White Zetsu:
"White Zetsu, during the time I was away, how were those three little brats doing? Did they train according to the plan I set for them? Did they slack off? Is their foundation well-established?"
At first, White Zetsu didn't quite understand, but then he instantly realized:
"Oh! You're talking about those three little brats! Those three…"
Before White Zetsu could finish speaking, the main door of Uchiha Madara's office was pushed open with a "creak." Three small, chattering figures barged in directly from outside, followed immediately by the sound of energetic knocking.
"Uncle! We heard you're back!"
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. The ones who barged in were none other than Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, those three little brats.
A hush fell over the office. Uchiha Madara, White Zetsu, and Kakuzu, all with different expressions, looked at the three little brats who had just entered.
The atmosphere instantly solidified, becoming quiet and bizarre…
The three little brats were stared at by Uchiha Madara's dark eyes, White Zetsu's brown eyes, and Kakuzu's green eyes—three pairs of eyes.
They were suddenly startled, their bodies tensing. Sensing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, they looked around timidly.
Yahiko realized he seemed to have caused trouble. He quickly put on an obsequious smile for Uchiha Madara, trying to muddle through:
"Heh heh, Uncle Madara, welcome back!"
Uchiha Madara gave that kind of smile, like a demon's:
"Trespassing in a restricted area of Uzuyin Village is a heinous crime! Konan, Nagato, two hundred push-ups each for you two. Yahiko, you do four hundred push-ups!"
The three little brats' faces instantly turned deathly pale.
Yahiko started to act cute towards Uchiha Madara, blinking his big eyes:
"Uncle Madara, it wasn't easy for you to come back. Just spare us this time. At the very least, be a little flexible…"
