Start with the Mangekyō and leave Konoha with Madara.

Kannabi Bridge Base.

Taking advantage of the New Year's Festival, Kamiya and Hikari, who were far away in the Land of Lightning, rushed back in time and had a New Year's Eve dinner with Madara-sama.

Outside the base, thousands of lights were on and fireworks were set off. Inside the base, the air was filled with fragrant aromas, and the long table was filled with twelve delicious dishes.

Of course, most of it was done by Shen Yu, and Uchiha Madara also contributed his cooking skills. The brightly colored braised pork was his masterpiece.

The lifelike human-shaped radish carving beside the table represents Uchiha Hikaru's last stubbornness. She specially carved the image of three people holding hands.

In the middle was Madara, wearing his regular Uchiha uniform, with the petite 13-year-old Kamiya and the slightly taller Hikari on either side.

The meticulous knifework makes the carvings distinct and three-dimensional. Just looking at the vivid expressions on the statues is enough to show the meticulousness of the sculptor. This kind of thing can definitely be called a work of art under normal circumstances.

But... when it's served on the table, it always looks a little weird.

Old Bantou tried his best not to look at it and even moved his stool silently.

Shen Yu ate quietly. Every time the tip of her chopsticks pointed toward the carvings, Guang would open her beautiful eyes wide in anticipation. However, when she found that the chopsticks fell somewhere else, the excitement in her eyes immediately died down and she bit the spoon pretending to be indifferent.

"You two, is the plan going smoothly?" Madara broke the silence.

Shen Yu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into the bowl, "Everything is under control."

"We didn't even take action, nor did we intervene. We just started the fight, and they just started to fight to the death. It got more and more intense." Guang's voice was cold. "I heard that the fight between the Kirigakure and Iwagakure was even more fierce than here. The Kages of both sides died."

"Humph, I've already said that this is destined to be a wrong path. Only Infinite Tsukuyomi is the only way to peace."

Madara sneered, his voice suddenly becoming a little more desolate, "I really want to pull Hashirama out and let him see the world as it is now!"

Shen Yu suddenly said: "If the plan goes well, there might be such a day."

Madara and Hikari looked over at the same time.

"Kumogakure hasn't made any move yet. As the scale of the war expands, Tobirama will sooner or later be desperate and do something desperate." Shen Yu smiled lightly, "Who knows, one day, he might use the 'Immortal Reincarnation Technique' to revive Hashirama Senju from the Pure Land."

Madara was slightly stunned, then took a sip of tea, "It's meaningless, that technique is not a true resurrection at all. Even if Hashirama is resurrected, he is just a lifeless zombie."

He raised his chopsticks and suddenly found a pair of excited eyes staring at him. Then he realized that his chopsticks had subconsciously fallen towards the carved plate.

"Cough cough."

Ban coughed lightly, and in order to respond to Guang's eager anticipation like a deer, he had to slowly reach out to the dish, but he was at a loss when choosing which human-shaped carving to pick up.

The chopsticks paused stiffly in mid-air, and Madara tentatively moved the chopstick tips while observing Guang's expression.

When it stopped above Madara's head, Guang frowned slightly.

When it stopped above Guang's head, Guang's little mouth bulged slightly.

When he picked up the "divine feather", Guang smiled and the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

"Click."

Ban bit off the head of "Shenyu" in one bite. The bite was so crispy that Shenyu felt a chill on the back of his neck and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Under Guang's oppressive gaze, Shen Yu had no choice but to pick up his chopsticks. At the same time, his mind raced, and he chose to pick up the "Guang" carving.

Noticing that the smile on Guang Qiao's face had not disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, dipped it in a little salad dressing, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Guang then smiled and raised the last piece of "spot", bit it with his silver teeth, and cut off its head directly.

Madara took a quick glance and drank his tea in silence.

After eating and drinking, Guang took the initiative to clean up the dishes, showing the excellent qualities of a virtuous and beautiful girl, and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

While she was not in the stone chamber, Ban called Shenyu to his side and asked quietly: "This New Year, have you... prepared any gifts for her?"

"Um, a gift?"

"They helped you execute the plan without saying anything, and you didn't even say anything?" Madara glanced at him with a slightly disdainful look in his eyes, "Sometimes, you are really slow."

After Madara's suggestion, Shen Yu's face turned red, and he realized that something was wrong. "How about I treat her to fireworks, the most expensive and beautiful ones in the city?"

"Do you think she's the type of girl who likes romance? This kind of romance doesn't suit her." Ban shook his head in frustration, "You're useless. After all these years, you don't even know what she likes."

"Master, please give me some advice."

Madara lay back calmly, with a confident smile on his face, "She is a man of great resolution and action, which is even better than many men. Girls of this type naturally like swords, weapons, and ninja tools."

"what?"

"Ah what? Have you forgotten her surprise when she received the flame fan and sickle?"

"This……"

"Trust me, give her your 'Heart of Frost', she will definitely be very happy."

……

Shen Yu thought about it over and over again, but it seemed unreliable.

That's not right. Lord Madara, you are a bachelor who has been single for 46 years. How can you have the confidence to teach me how to chase girls?

Suddenly, his expression changed slightly, and a strange feeling arose in his heart. Under the effect of the psychic contract, he realized that there was a will calling him from afar.

"It's Zesuke." He immediately stood up, ready to respond to the call, "Is there a problem in the Iron Country?"

At this time, Guang finished the dishwashing job, and with the help of water escape and exquisite control, all the discs were clean and bright as new in minutes.

She asked in confusion, "Why are you going?"

"There seems to be some problem with Zesuke. They won't summon me unless it is necessary." Shen Yu explained quickly and hurried away.

"They? Do you mean the Iron Country?" Guang thought thoughtfully.

During the six years of seclusion, he only communicated with Shenyu once at the Sword Sword Relics Pavilion, and that time was in the middle of the night.

The reason was that an unknown powerful ninja sneaked into the Chamber of Commerce headquarters with the intention of assassinating Niwa Maya, but was discovered by the alert Sawasuke, who performed the reverse summoning technique in time.

After Shen Yu went there, he easily captured these assassins alive. Under the interrogation of illusion, he found out that they were all wandering ninjas hired by other jealous dignitaries.

That night, he went to the Daimyo Prefecture of the Iron Country in person.

Daimyo, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened. When he saw the tip of the cold knife hanging over his head, his eyes bulged out and he was scared to death.

While still in shock, he saw Shen Yu's familiar face and heard a pair of cold words.

'Some people have stretched their claws too far, it's time to chop them off.'

From then on, no one in the entire Iron Kingdom dared to cause trouble for the Swordsmith, and Shenyu had a long period of leisure.

"Haha, someone actually dares to cause trouble during the New Year. It seems their claws are itching again." Shen Yu smiled coldly. He wanted to see which blind fool thought he could take advantage of the war to rob.

"and many more!"

Guang stretched out her snow-white hand and placed it on Shenyu's shoulder, "I'll go with you this time."

Before Shen Yu could react, the reverse spiritualism technique was activated and the two of them turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Behind him, Old Bantou silently retracted his outstretched hand. He... actually also wanted to go out and see the excitement. He even put on his mask...

"We are all blind, so the blind spot is good..."
