Qin Shi groggily opened his eyes and found himself staring at a wooden ceiling. He was slightly taken aback, but before he could think further, a cold female voice beside him said, "If you're awake, don't pretend to be dead."
"Ah!" Qin Shi hurriedly sat up, turned his head, and saw a black cat squatting beside him, the very one he had saved.
At this moment, the black cat was looking at him with a teasing gaze, as if playing with a mouse.
"I must be dreaming; how can a cat talk!" Qin Shi shook his head vigorously and lay back down.
"Are you an idiot?" The black cat jumped onto Qin Shi's body, its emerald eyes glaring at him.
"I'm dreaming!" Qin Shi closed his eyes and muttered to himself. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his chest. Opening his eyes, he saw that the black cat's normally gentle paws had extended sharp claws, which were pressing into his chest, causing blood to seep out.
Qin Shi swallowed hard, and a thought arose in his mind. He asked the black cat, "Who are you? Could it be that I've traveled through time?"
"I thought you were smart! Who would have thought you're so stupid." The black cat held its forehead with a paw, a troubled expression on its face.
Qin Shi ignored the black cat's complaints, sat up, and looked around. He found himself lying in a Japanese-style room with tatami mats on the floor, a familiar sight to him, given his frequent anime watching.
"I really have traveled through time! And... I've become a child!" Qin Shi looked down and saw that he was wearing a kimono, with delicate hands, but they were those of a child.
Creak!
Just as Qin Shi was about to ask the black cat a question, the door was suddenly pulled open, and a boy around three or four years old ran in. Seeing Qin Shi, his eyes lit up, and he pounced in front of him, speaking in a childlike voice in Japanese.
Although Qin Shi knew it was Japanese, he couldn't understand it. He felt a chill, realizing he had traveled to Japan. He examined the boy and recognized his familiar face. His pupils constricted, and he was about to speak when he remembered he didn't know Japanese. At a loss, he saw the black cat toss him a purple, jelly-like object.
"Eat it!" the black cat said coolly.
Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, glanced at the black cat, and saw her expression was calm. He stared at the jelly in his hand, feeling a sense of familiarity. Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and he swallowed the jelly without hesitation.
"Brother, what are you eating? What a cute black cat! It can talk. Brother, is it your pet? Can I play with it?" Qin Shi heard the boy's words, seeing him curiously looking at him and the black cat.
"Hmph! I'm not his pet!" the black cat snorted.
"Zasuke?" Qin Shi ignored the boy's question and tentatively called out.
"Eh? Brother, what are you saying? I'm Izuna!" the boy stared at Qin Shi, puzzled.
"What?!" Qin Shi's whole body trembled, disbelief in his voice. "What did you say your name is?"
"Uchiha Izuna! Brother, what's wrong? Don't scare me!" The boy clung tightly to Qin Shi's clothes.
"You said I'm your brother—Uchiha Madara!" Qin Shi trembled as he spoke the last four words.
He had just seen the boy looking exactly like young Sasuke from Naruto, and he already knew he might have traveled to the Naruto world, thinking he had become Uchiha Itachi. But he never imagined he would be Uchiha Madara.
At this moment, he recalled the memories in his mind and remembered Uchiha Izuna's appearance, which, whether as an adult or a child, was almost identical to Uchiha Sasuke.
"Brother? Are you okay?" Uchiha Izuna saw his brother's dazed expression, stretched out his small hand in front of his eyes, and asked worriedly.
"Go out first, brother has some things to do, I'll come find you later." Qin Shi's face was serious; at this moment, he wanted to get to the bottom of everything and didn't have time to chat with Izuna.
"Boo... Brother, don't you want me anymore?" Uchiha Izuna pouted, his big, cute eyes brimming with tears.
"..." Qin Shi was at a loss, a flash of inspiration crossing his mind. He patted Izuna's small head and smiled, "Of course not! I'll teach you a new jutsu later, but you have to be good now!"
Although Qin Shi had become Uchiha Madara, he couldn't teach Izuna jutsu, as he himself didn't know how to extract chakra. But to get rid of the clingy Izuna, he had no choice but to resort to this.
"Really?" Izuna's eyes lit up.
"Yep!" Qin Shi nodded vigorously.
"I knew brother is the best!" Izuna cheered excitedly and ran out, not forgetting to close the wooden door behind him.
Qin Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead, realizing that talking to children was not his forte. Thinking of the famous "brother-obsessed" characters in Naruto, Uchiha Madara was also on the list, the most famous being Sasuke and Itachi.
"I'm not a brother-obsessed person!" Thinking of the tragic endings of those "brother-obsessed" characters, Qin Shi shivered and said with a sigh.
"Alright! Now tell me everything." Qin Shi put aside his playful mood and stared at the black cat seriously.
"Meow!" The black cat stretched elegantly, lying on the tatami mat, and said nonchalantly, "What everything?"
"Why did I travel through time?"
"Of course, it's because I helped you!"
"Who are you?"
"Genius cat-shaped robot from the 22nd century—Cat Fairy." The black cat said proudly.
"Cat-shaped robot? Like Doraemon?" Qin Shi's pupils constricted, thinking, "That jelly must have been a translation gum, allowing one to understand all languages in the universe, so understanding Japanese is no problem."
"You're the one who's Doraemon!" Cat Fairy instantly bristled, jumping up and angrily saying, "Don't compare me to that idiot. I can't believe there could be such a stupid cat-shaped robot in the world."
"Oh?" Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, examining Cat Fairy, who still looked like an ordinary black cat. He said coolly, "Do you have a four-dimensional pocket?"
"Hmph! A four-dimensional pocket is nothing; I have a four-dimensional space built into me." Cat Fairy said proudly.
"Then do you have Doraemon's secret gadgets?" Qin Shi's eyes gleamed as he stared at Cat Fairy, thinking of Doraemon's powerful gadgets. If he could get a few, unifying the ninja world or even destroying the universe would be no problem.
"Of course I do..." A hint of unease flashed in Cat Fairy's eyes.
"Then bring them out quickly!" Qin Shi said excitedly.
"What do you want?" Cat Fairy asked.
Qin Shi fell into deep thought. Doraemon's secret gadgets were numerous, and he only remembered a small part.
According to official records, there are over 1,300 types, and according to preliminary statistics, Doraemon has used about 2,000 types of secret gadgets. Moreover, new secret gadgets are constantly being developed, so it can be said that Doraemon's secret gadgets are endless.
"Give me the Time Cloth first!" Qin Shi decided to restore Madara to his prime. After all, as a child, Madara, though strong, was just an ordinary ninja, far from the later all-powerful Uchiha Madara.
"No!" Cat Fairy shook her head.
"Anywhere Door!"
"No!"
"Time Stopper!"
"No!"
"Enlarging Light, Shrinking Light, Time Gun, Delay Light Gun, Dream Realization Pill, Invisibility Cloak, Air Cannon, Air Gun, Fighting Blade, Lightning Blade... " Qin Shi rattled off dozens of gadgets, but Cat Fairy kept shaking her head, saying "No."
"What do you have then?" Qin Shi said weakly.
"Here! Just these, see if there's anything you need." Cat Fairy scratched her head awkwardly, waved her paw, and a pile of cans appeared in the room.
"Huh?" Qin Shi was taken aback, picked one up, and saw it was labeled "Delicious Fish Can—Beef Flavor," "Delicious Fish Can—Wasabi Flavor," "Delicious Fish Can—Coffee Flavor," "Delicious Fish Can—Seaweed Flavor," and so on.
"Are these all fish cans?" Qin Shi asked tremulously.
"Yep!" Cat Fairy nodded shyly.
"You win!" Qin Shi felt as if a thousand horses were galloping through his mind. He opened his mouth but could only manage three words.
"The secret gadgets you mentioned, I used to have them, but due to some reasons, I only have one left now." Cat Fairy sighed and waved her paw again. A machine as tall as a person appeared in front of them, with a large wheel and a huge pointer in the middle.
Qin Shi was about to ask why, but seeing the machine, he quickly asked, "What is this?"
"Secret Gadget Roulette Machine." Cat Fairy looked at the machine with a complex expression.
"Oh? There's such a thing? What does it do?" Qin Shi frowned, recalling Doraemon's gadgets, but he didn't remember such a machine. Was it something he had forgotten, or a new gadget?
"This is the latest machine from the 22nd century. As long as you put an item in, it will generate ten items of equal value, and you will randomly receive one. The initial item will be taken by the machine. If you're lucky, you might get some high-value secret gadgets." Cat Fairy explained excitedly.
"Isn't this just a roulette machine from a casino?" Qin Shi frowned.
"Yep!" Cat Fairy nodded.
"Didn't you lose all your secret gadgets?" Qin Shi sighed.
"Well... pretty much... ahaha..." Cat Fairy's face turned red, and she laughed awkwardly.
