Kannabi Bridge Base.
Taking advantage of the New Year Festival, Shin'yu and Light, who were far away in the Land of Lightning, returned in time to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Lord Madara.
Outside the base, thousands of homes were lit up and fireworks were set off. Inside the base, the aroma was steaming, and twelve hard dishes were lined up on the long table.
Of course, most of them were Shin'yu's handiwork. Uchiha Madara also contributed a wave of cooking skills. The bright red braised pork was his masterpiece.
The lifelike human-shaped radish carving on the side of the table was Uchiha Hikari's last stubbornness. She specially carved an image of three people holding hands.
The delicate knife skills made the carving distinct and extremely three-dimensional. Just looking at the vivid expression on the statue, you could see the sculptor's meticulousness. This kind of thing could definitely be called a work of art in normal times.
But... it's always a little weird to put it on the dining table.
Old Madara tried not to look at it, and even moved his stool silently.
Shin'yu ate quietly. Every time his chopsticks moved towards the carving, Light would open her beautiful eyes expectantly. However, when she found that the chopsticks fell elsewhere, the joy in her eyes immediately disappeared, and she pretended to be indifferent and bit her spoon.
"You two, is the plan going smoothly?" Madara broke the silence.
Shin'yu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his bowl, "Everything is under control."
"We didn't even take action or interfere in any way. We just started it, and they fought to the death, and it got worse and worse." Light's voice was cold, "I heard that the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Stone Village are fighting even more fiercely than here. The Kage of both sides have taken action."
"Hmph, I said long ago that this is destined to be a wrong path. Only the Infinite Tsukuyomi is the only way to peace."
Madara sneered, his voice suddenly a little lonely, "I really want to drag Hashirama out and let him take a good look at the world now!"
Shin'yu suddenly said, "If the plan goes well, maybe there will be such a day."
Madara and Light looked over at the same time.
"Cloud Village hasn't exerted its strength yet. As the scale of the war expands, Tobirama will have a day when he jumps over the wall in desperation sooner or later." Shin'yu smiled lightly, "Maybe one day, he will use the 'Impure World Reincarnation' to resurrect Hashirama Senju from the Pure Land."
Madara was slightly stunned, and then took a sip of tea, "It's meaningless, that technique is not a real resurrection in the true sense. Even if Hashirama is resurrected, it's just a lifeless zombie."
He raised his chopsticks and suddenly found a joyful gaze staring straight over. Only then did he realize that his chopsticks had unconsciously fallen towards the direction of the carved dish.
"Cough cough."
Madara coughed lightly. In order to respond to Light's eager expectations like a deer, he had no choice but to slowly reach out to the dish, but he was in trouble when choosing which human-shaped carving to pick up.
The chopsticks stopped stiffly in mid-air. Madara tentatively moved the chopsticks while observing Light's expression.
When it stopped on top of "Madara's" head, Light frowned slightly.
When it stopped on top of "Light's" head, Light's small mouth pouted slightly.
When he picked up "Shin'yu", Light smiled and the clouds cleared.
"Crack."
Madara bit off "Shin'yu's" head in one bite. It was crunchy and made Shin'yu's neck feel cold, and he couldn't help swallowing.
Under Light's oppressive gaze, Shin'yu had no choice but to move his chopsticks, while his mind raced, choosing to pick up "Light's" carving.
Noticing that the smile on Light's pretty face had not disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, dipped it in a little salad dressing, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
Light then smilingly set up the last piece of "Lord Madara", bit her silver teeth, and directly decapitated it.
Lord Madara glanced quickly and silently sipped his tea.
After they were full, Light took the initiative to clean up the dishes, demonstrating 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, Lord Madara called Shin'yu to his side and whispered, "This New Year, have you prepared any gifts for her?"
"Uh, gifts?"
"She helped you execute the plan without saying a word, and you don't even have an expression?" Lord Madara glanced at him, his eyes slightly contemptuous, "Sometimes, you are really slow."
After Lord Madara's reminder, Shin'yu's old face turned red, and he also realized that it was inappropriate, "Or, I'll take her to see fireworks, the most expensive and beautiful in the whole city?"
"Do you think she is the kind of girl who likes romantic things? This kind of romance is not suitable for her." Lord Madara shook his head, disappointed, "It's really useless, after so many years, you don't even know what she likes."
"Lord Madara, please give me an idea."
Lord Madara leaned back in his chair with an experienced look, a confident smile on his lips, "Light is a decisive person, even more so than many men. This type of girl naturally likes swords, weapons, and Ninja tools."
"Ah?"
"Ah what? Have you forgotten the surprise she had when she received the Blaze War Fan and Scythe?"
"This…"
"Trust me, give her your 'Frost Descent One Heart', she will definitely be very happy."
...
Shin'yu thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more unreliable it seemed.
That's not right, Lord Madara, you've been single for 46 years, where do you get 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 Summoning Contract, he sensed a Will was summoning him from afar.
"It's Tetsusuke." He immediately got up, ready to respond to the summons, "Could it be that something happened in the Land of Iron?"
At this time, Light finished washing the dishes, using Water Release with exquisite control, making all the discs as clean as new in minutes.
She asked suspiciously, "Where are you going?"
"Tetsusuke seems to have encountered some problems. They won't summon me unless it's absolutely necessary." Shin'yu quickly explained, looking hurried.
"They? Do you mean the Land of Iron?" Light pondered.
During the 6 years of closed-door training, Forging Blades Workshop only summoned Shin'yu once, and that was in the middle of the night.
The reason was that unknown powerful Ninja had infiltrated the headquarters of the merchant guild, intending to assassinate Niwa Maya, but they were all discovered by the alert Tetsusuke, who timely used the Reverse Summoning Technique.
After Shin'yu arrived, he easily captured these assassins. Under the interrogation of Genjutsu, they turned out to be wandering Ninja hired by other jealous Powerful Figures.
That night, he personally went to the Daimyo's Residence in the Land of Iron.
The Daimyo, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up. When he saw the tip of the knife, exuding a chilling aura, hanging over his head, his eyes immediately bulged, and his soul flew away.
Still in shock, he recognized Shin'yu's familiar face and heard a cold voice.
'Some people's claws have stretched a little too far, it's time to chop them off.'
From then on, no one in the entire Land of Iron dared to cause trouble for the Forging Blades Workshop again, and Shin'yu had been idle for a long time because of this.
"Hehe, someone actually dared to cause trouble during the New Year Festival, it seems their claws are itching again." Shin'yu's smile was slightly cold, he wanted to see, which ignorant fool actually thought they could take advantage of the war to rob.
"Wait!"
Light stretched out a snow-white, soft hand, placing it on Shin'yu's shoulder, "This time, I'll go with you."
Before Shin'yu could react, the Reverse Summoning Technique was activated instantly, and the two turned into white smoke and disappeared.
Behind them, old Lord Madara silently retracted his outstretched palm, he... actually wanted to go out and see the excitement too, he even put on his mask... that is.
"All blind, it's good to be blind..."
