Chapter 4

Standing by the pond, Madara gazed at his reflection in the water. Although his body was still frail, his face was as fair as jade, exuding a heroic aura. His flowing black hair swayed in the wind, and his blood-red Sharingan eyes carried a hint of evil, making him look like a devil in the darkness.

The Uchiha clan was known for producing many handsome men and beautiful women, and Madara Uchiha was the best of the best, often referred to as the most handsome man in the ninja world.

"Hey! You've been standing there for a while. What are you looking at? Didn't you say you wanted to practice jutsu?" Cat Fairy squatted on Madara's shoulder, speaking impatiently.

"Don't worry, I'm about to start." Madara smiled slightly, and his hands began to form seals. After a few seconds, he whispered, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball erupted from Madara's mouth, instantly enveloping half of the pond. A wave of intense heat rushed towards him, and with a loud bang, the fireball landed on the water, creating a loud explosion. The wind from the blast blew Madara's black kimono, but he remained unmoved.

Steam quickly rose from the water, spreading over the entire pond and even enveloping the nearby forest.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Cat Fairy exclaimed. Although she had seen Madara's powerful feats in anime, seeing the real thing was still unbelievable. She couldn't believe that a person could produce such a powerful fireball.

In her future world, everyone was powerful because of secret gadgets, but those people were still just ordinary humans. Without the power of the gadgets, they were nothing and couldn't compare to Madara Uchiha.

Madara wasn't particularly surprised. Although this was the first jutsu he had performed, compared to his later Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, the Great Fireball Technique was nothing.

"My hand seal speed is still a bit slow, partly because of my young age. However, my descendant, Itachi Uchiha, can form six seals in a second, and I can do that too. Theoretically, a ninja's strength doesn't entirely depend on hand seal speed, but without the Mangekyou Sharingan or the Rinnegan, I need to rely on various jutsu in battle. To survive, I need to enhance my taijutsu and learn to perform jutsu instantly." Madara's mind raced with thoughts, and he resolved to start enhancing his strength comprehensively from now on.

Perhaps he would obtain various powerful secret gadgets in the future, but that was later. Moreover, no matter how powerful the gadgets were, they couldn't compare to his own strength. Secret gadgets were external forces, and his own strength would never betray him.

"Following him will definitely lead to many interesting things!" Cat Fairy looked at the contemplative Madara and decided that as long as Madara didn't betray her, she would stay by his side until the end.

"Brother!" Just as the two were lost in their thoughts, a cute little boy ran over, interrupting them.

"Shisui!" Madara's eyes softened, as he was very fond of his youngest brother.

Shisui Uchiha, seeing his most admired brother, hurriedly ran up, hands on his knees, and panted, "Brother, I finally found you. Teach me jutsu, please!"

"Ah!" Madara was slightly taken aback, remembering that he had promised Shisui earlier. He was thinking about which jutsu to teach Shisui when his eyes suddenly turned cold, and his normal eyes transformed into the Sharingan. He stared at the nearby forest and coldly said, "Who's there? Come out!"

"Sh... Sharingan! Brother, you opened your eyes!" Shisui Uchiha stared at Madara's eyes, muttering in disbelief.

Although he was only three years old, the people of this era were very mature. He knew all about the clan's proudest possession, the Sharingan. But his brother was only seven! Many in the clan never opened their Sharingan in their entire lives.

Swoosh!

A figure flew out of the forest and appeared before Madara, kneeling on one knee. He looked up to speak but was stunned by Madara's single-tomoe Sharingan.

"Master, you opened your eyes!" The man, after the initial shock, quickly recovered and said, "Master, Lord Uchiha requests your presence."

"I understand." Madara nodded, looking at the Uchiha fan emblem on the ninja's back. He put away the kunai in his hand, knowing he was within the clan's territory, but his naturally suspicious nature kept him on guard.

"Sorry, Shisui. I'll teach you next time!" Madara reached out and ruffled Shisui's head apologetically.

"Okay!" Shisui, though a bit unhappy, understood that his brother had something to do. Moreover, his brother opening his Sharingan would make their father very happy.

Madara bid farewell to Shisui and walked towards the center of the clan's compound. Thinking of his father, Madara Uchiha, he suddenly stopped and turned to Cat Fairy, saying, "Xiaoxian, can you go back to the fourth-dimensional space for a while?"

"Why?" Cat Fairy asked, puzzled.

"My father, Madara Uchiha, is a very stubborn man. If he sees you, he might think I'm not serious about my training, and he might do something to you." Madara sighed.

"Hmph! Hearing you say that, I won't go back. I want to see what he can do to me." Cat Fairy proudly lifted her head, looking disdainful.

"Alright!" Madara nodded calmly and said no more. He approached his father's house, not bothering to knock, and pushed open the wooden door, walking in.

Inside, he saw a man with a powerful presence sitting on a tatami mat, his hair styled like a pineapple, and the large Uchiha fan emblem on the wall behind him.

"Father!" Madara walked forward and respectfully greeted him.

Madara Uchiha put down his teacup, glanced at Madara, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He was about to speak when he noticed a black cat perched on Madara's shoulder, and he was taken aback. "When did you get a cat?"

"She's my summoning animal!" Madara said calmly.

"Hey! You..." Cat Fairy, not understanding what a summoning animal was, glared at Madara, about to speak, but Madara shook his head slightly, and she fell silent.

"Why did you choose such a weak summoning animal? What's special about it?" Madara Uchiha asked, somewhat displeased.

Cat Fairy, seeing the strange man look down on her, was furious and about to speak, but Madara said, "Father, she is not just my summoning animal but also my partner. I want to tell you that this is my choice, and I will protect her no matter what you think."

"Madara!" Cat Fairy murmured, looking at the determined face beside her, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Madara Uchiha frowned, glanced at the unremarkable black cat, and then at his son, who had opened his Sharingan and was looking at him calmly.

"I heard from Gen that you opened your Sharingan, and I didn't believe it at first, but..." Madara Uchiha's eyes shone with joy as he looked at Madara and said, "Since you've opened your eyes, I'll teach you some techniques for the Sharingan later."

"Thank you, Father." Madara bowed respectfully.

"However... Is there anything special about your summoning animal that makes you so determined?" Madara Uchiha asked, his gaze returning to Cat Fairy.

"No!" Madara shook his head, seeing his father's face darken, and then smiled, "But I believe that as long as I'm with her, we will change the world. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

"Hmm?" Madara Uchiha's eyes flickered, looking at Madara's calm and determined expression, and nodded, "Alright! You are a rare genius in the Uchiha clan, and you have never disappointed me. I trust you this time."

"Thank you, Father!" Madara nodded.

"I called you here because the Senju clan has been causing trouble again. I was planning to have you prepare for battle tomorrow, but since you've opened your Sharingan, you should train in the clan for a few days before going to the battlefield." Madara Uchiha briefly explained the situation.

"I understand!" Madara nodded, knowing this would happen since he had come to this world as Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha then explained some techniques for using the Sharingan and gave Madara a scroll about the Sharingan before dismissing him.
