Chapter 3

"Since you don't have any secret gadgets left, how did you bring me through time? And how did you make me become Uchiha Madara?" Qin Shi frowned.

"Hmph! This lady used a parallel world travel scroll. Consider yourself lucky! I only had two secret gadgets left: the roulette machine and the travel scroll. And I used the travel scroll for you. That thing is very precious," Cat Xiao Xian was very unhappy with Qin Shi's suspicion.

"Oh? There are such things in the future world!" Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, but thinking of Doraemon's various incredible gadgets, the travel scroll Cat Xiao Xian mentioned didn't seem so surprising. However...

Qin Shi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "There won't be any other time travelers in this world, right?"

"Of course... not." Cat Xiao Xian drew out her words, intending to tease Qin Shi, but seeing his uncertain expression, she couldn't bear to and explained, "Don't worry. In your world, even in the 22nd century, there won't be any secret gadgets. Simply put, we are in two different universes. The things you've seen, like Naruto and Doraemon, I haven't heard of. So, the people in my world don't know what the Naruto world is, and even if they wanted to travel, they wouldn't have a reference. But Doraemon's gadgets do exist in our universe."

"I see..." Qin Shi stroked his chin. Cat Xiao Xian's words reassured him. After all, the biggest enemy of a time traveler is another time traveler. He didn't take the threat of Kaguya Otsutsuki seriously, but the presence of other time travelers was a real concern.

"How did you end up in my world?" Qin Shi asked curiously.

"I encountered a temporal anomaly and ended up in your world by chance. The probability of that happening is so low it can be ignored," Cat Xiao Xian said somewhat uncomfortably.

"Oh? Could it be that you were being chased by debt collectors and ran to my world in a panic!" Qin Shi joked.

"Ah! How... how did you know!" Cat Xiao Xian shouted, as if someone had stepped on her tail.

"It's true!" Qin Shi was speechless. In short, Cat Xiao Xian was a gambling addict and a food lover, even worse than Doraemon. But he didn't dare say that, as Cat Xiao Xian had helped him achieve his greatest dream.

"Are you following me to avoid your gambling debts?" Qin Shi stared intently at Cat Xiao Xian.

"How could that be... hehe..." Cat Xiao Xian laughed awkwardly.

"Never mind! Since I promised to take you in, you can stay with me as long as you want," Qin Shi waved his hand dismissively.

Cat Xiao Xian was taken aback, and her cat eyes revealed a complex expression.

Qin Shi picked up a can of fish and walked to the roulette machine. "How do you use this thing?" he asked Cat Xiao Xian.

"You're not going to gamble, are you?" Cat Xiao Xian said.

"Of course. It's the only way to get secret gadgets. Otherwise, how can we survive in this world? This world is very dangerous," Qin Shi sighed. He needed to use various secret gadgets to quickly reach the peak of Uchiha Madara's power and then surpass it.

Since he had already traveled through time, Qin Shi didn't want to go back. In his original world, he was alone, with no ties. Coming to the Naruto world and becoming a young Uchiha Madara was something he had always dreamed of.

However, he was not the Uchiha Madara who could punch tailed beasts and kick the Five Kage, who was feared and respected by all. This era was called the Warring States period, which was a hundred times more chaotic than the later ninja village era. Countless ninja clans fought each other, and the average lifespan of a ninja was only thirty years. The reason was that even five-year-old children had to go to war, and those who survived were naturally the elite, but most died. This era was incredibly cruel, and human life was as cheap as grass.

In the original story, Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju, tired of the meaningless slaughter, worked together to create the first ninja village in the chaotic era—Konoha.

Later, the five great nations and some smaller countries followed their example, leading to the era of the five great ninja villages and some smaller ones. Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju were the pioneers of a new era, but although they escaped the chaos of the Warring States period, it evolved into wars between ninja villages. Ultimately, they couldn't eliminate war and bring about a true era of peace.

Uchiha Madara, having seen the world's harsh realities, finally understood that humans are never satisfied. Whether it's a large-scale ninja war or a small-scale conflict between individuals, it all comes down to human nature. No matter what era, human nature will not change. That's why he chose an extreme path, projecting his Sharingan onto the moon and casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi, plunging the world into an eternal illusion.

In the illusion, everyone would get what they wanted and there would be no more conflict. One could say that Uchiha Madara aspired to justice and peace, but he still didn't understand human nature. Angered by the ugliness of human hearts, he ultimately couldn't escape his fate and walked down a path of no return.

Now that Qin Shi had become Uchiha Madara, he would not follow the same path as Madara. He also knew that Madara's decision to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi was largely due to Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu was the third son of Kaguya Otsutsuki, born before she was sealed by her two older sons. His purpose was to revive his mother.

So, he orchestrated many events, and his influence could be seen in every conspiracy. He used Madara's world-weariness to alter the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths, ultimately leading Madara to destruction. Madara's own hatred of humanity was also a factor.

Qin Shi's eyes showed a determined look, and he made up his mind: "From now on, I am Uchiha Madara, no longer Qin Shi, and not the reincarnation of Indra, the Sage of Six Paths' eldest son. Uchiha Madara will always be Uchiha Madara."

Before me, there will be no equal.

Just as he thought this, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and fell to the ground with a thud.

Cat Xiao Xian was thinking about whether to persuade Qin Shi not to use the roulette machine when she saw him stagger and fall.

"Hey! Qin Shi! What's wrong with you?" Cat Xiao Xian was startled and quickly jumped onto Qin Shi, patting his face with her soft paws, worriedly looking at him. Just as she was at a loss, she saw Qin Shi open his eyes.

Cat Xiao Xian's emerald eyes showed surprise, but she suddenly froze. Qin Shi's eyes were no longer black and white; they were blood red, with a black dot in the center and two comma-like black tomoe slowly spinning at the edges.

The Sharingan had activated!

Their eyes met, and Cat Xiao Xian felt a mental daze. Her cat body wobbled, and she was about to fall off Qin Shi but was caught by him.

"From now on, call me Uchiha Madara!"

Uchiha Madara smiled. He had fully accepted the memories of young Madara, not only understanding the use of chakra but also activating the Sharingan due to the mental stimulation.

He was only seven years old, setting a record for the earliest age to activate the Sharingan. In the original story, Madara only activated his Sharingan when he befriended Hashirama and learned his identity.

"Put away the fish cans and the roulette machine for now," Madara placed the black cat on the ground.

"Ah! You don't need them?" Cat Xiao Xian asked curiously.

"Not right now. I have a jutsu to try!" Uchiha Madara crossed his arms and looked out the window.

Hearing such familiar words and looking at Uchiha Madara's handsome face, Cat Xiao Xian felt a daze, as if she saw the man who had recently appeared on the screen, looking down on the world.

"Is he Qin Shi or Madara? I can't quite tell. Was bringing him here right, or...?" Cat Xiao Xian muttered to herself, shook her head, and waved her paw, making the fish cans and roulette machine disappear instantly.

"The spatial ability is indeed useful!" Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow and decided to learn spatial jutsu.

"Let's go!" Madara squatted down, picked up Cat Xiao Xian, opened the door, and walked out.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and the shadows of the man and the cat were long. The future unparalleled ninja of the world had taken his first step.

I have arrived, and I shall cut through the dust. I neither revere heaven nor respect earth; this is the way of the Asura.
