Chapter 349: Old Man Madara
In a dark underground cave, a thin old man sat on a stone chair.
Although he was disheveled and skinny, his aura was still strong.
This used to be one of the strongest people in the ninja world, this is the man who stood side by side with the god of shinobi Hashirama Senju, this was Madara Uchiha.
This ce seemed like a ce between the underworld and the world of the living, it was simr to Limbo. Madara used Izanagi to deceive Hashirama and cheat death. It was due to that that he discovered this ce, a ce for him to n for the infinite Tsukuyomi project.
“Zetsu isn’t back yet?” Madara whispered.
Now, he was almost a hundred years old, his body was very weak and withering.
Suddenly, Zetsu emerged from the ground.
Seeing Zetsu, Madara said: “Zetsu, what’s the matter? Why are you back sote? Where is Uchiha Obito? Don’t tell me you couldn’t sneak into Konoha and bring him here?”
Facing Madara’s questioning, Zetsu’s face looked contorted as he gritted his teeth: Madara-sama, I managed to sneak into Konoha and take control of Obito’s body, and was alreadying here, but suddenly, someone attacked me and took him away. It’s the same guy who rescued Obito on the Kannabi bridge. He first used a Genjutsu, Infinite Darkness to deprive me of my vision, and covered his hand in lightning and shoved it into my body. I only managed to escape and save my life, otherwise, that guy would’ve killed me.”
Hearing this, Madara looked at Zetsu suspiciously: “You said he deprived you of vision using Infinite Darkness? Isn’t that Tobirama’s Jutsu? How did that guy manage to learn it? Is he from the Senju n?”
Zetsu shook his head, he didn’t know where that guye from.
(T/N: Previously, it was white Zetsu talking.)
At this time, ck Zetsu, said: That’s right, that guy used the Infinite Darkness that Tobirama invented, and he used the Chidori developed by a kid named Kakashi. He seems to be quite versatile and hard to deal with.”
Madara asked in a deep voice: “What’s his name?”
“He is called An.” Zetsu replied: “He lives with the Kid named Kakashi in Konoha.”
Madara said: “Investigate that guy and find out every detail about him. I want to know about this guy that hindered my n over and over again.”
“Got it.” Both Zetsu’s said at the same time.
At this time, Zetsu once again went to Konoha to investigate An.
At this time, Tsunade was in front of Kakashi’s house as she called for An.
An opened the door and said: “Tsunade-sama, why are you here?” An asked curiously.
“Let’s go to a bar and drink,” Tsunade said straight to the point.
“What drinking again?” An was speechless.
“What? You have anything else to do?” Tsunade asked.
“No.” An shook his head.
“So, you’re free?” Tsunade asked.
“Very free.” An nodded.
“Isn’t it fine then? I don’t have anything to do either, so apany me to the bar,” Tsunade said.
“Ok.” An could only reluctantly agree.
For some time now, after that BBQ night and the boxing they did, Tsunade woulde to An to apany her to a drink.
For an alcoholic gambler like Tsunade, it’s hard to find a drinking buddy like An, who won’t lose in a drinkingpetition.
For An, drinking Alcohol was like drinking water, no matter how much he drank, he won’t get drunk.
So, every time they drink together, it was always Tsunade who gets drunk.
Tsunade was unwilling to ept her loss. After all, she was drinking for a long time and was good at it.
But, she didn’t seem to be able to outdrink An.
Every time, she would be dead drunk, while not only was An not drunk, he can even send her drunk self back home safely.
After some time, everyone in Konoha knew that Tsunade was drinking with a man named An recently.
As soon as he became famous, all sorts of rumors started spreading.
When An was walking down the street, he was receiving stares from many people, but An didn’t care about their eyes.
The gossip was naturally heard by Tsunade, and although she didn’t care about what people said, she was still embarrassed that people’s minds went to dirty ces when they saw An taking Tsunade home every time they drink together.
However, she knew that while An sends her home, he never took advantage of her and was very disciplined.
Tsunade knew this and appreciated An’s behavior.
Although they were ten years apart with her being older, it didn’t affect the favorable impression she had of An.
When Tsunade came again today for a drink, An wanted to refuse since there are so many rumors already and he didn’t want them to continue.
But Tsunade insisted and he had to agree again.
After the two finished their drink, Tsunade said: “Thank you for taking me home when I was drunk before. I have a mission tomorrow and I have to leave the vige, and won’t be back for a while, so, we’ll drink when I get back, okay?”
“Of course.” An agreed.
“Then it’s settled.” Tsunade rarely showed a happy smile, but she smiled right now.
Under a tree, a young man with long blue hair and wearing a ninja vest saw Tsunade’s smile and his expression becameplicated.
He had envy and jealousy in his eyes.
He clenched his fists and mmed them against a tree as he wondered: “Tsunade… Why are you smiling happily at that guy? Could it be you like him?”
After parting, An walked around since it was still early and he had nothing to do.
Because he was close to Tsunade recently, many people know him and most of them think that he had a special rtionship with her.
An didn’t both exin those rumors.
He and Tsunade were drinking buddies, nothing else.
Just as he turned into an alley, a young man stood in front of An.
An stopped and nced at the man, he was the same young man from before.
An found this guy familiar, but couldn’t remember his name.
“Who are you?” An asked.
“Kato Dan.” said the man.
Oh, it turned out to be this guy. An suddenly remembered who Kato Dan was.
