The method to form a contract with Mount Myoboku is very simple; you just need to write your name on the contract scroll and leave your handprint.

As for the body of White Zetsu, Kazekaze thought it over and felt that bringing it back all the way was not a good idea. It could very likely delay the journey. Moreover, it might leave clues for Uchiha Madara. Because Kazekaze couldn’t be sure if Uchiha Madara had tampered with this White Zetsu body. If he encounters Uchiha Madara again, he might not be so lucky.

"My current strength is still too weak." Kazekaze couldn’t help but sigh, deciding to temporarily entrust the body of White Zetsu to Fukasaku for safekeeping. Then he wrote a technique on the scroll. It was still a type of space-time ninjutsu. Just like when Uzumaki Naruto fought Pain, summoning his shadow clone from the Toad Oil Waterfall. Only this time, the original shadow clone was replaced by the body of White Zetsu. This way, when he returns to the Hidden Leaf Village, he can summon the body of White Zetsu back.

In addition, Kazekaze specially prepared two scrolls to summon his shadow clones. No matter what, he and Fukasaku, Shima, have only fused once. They still need to harmonize. In the current situation, the fusion can last at most five minutes. In critical moments, he would still need the sage chakra from his shadow clones.

After forming the summoning contract with Kazekaze, Fukasaku didn’t stay any longer. Although he really wanted Kazekaze and his group to stay longer, to train more and to taste Shima’s cooking. Looking across the entire Mount Myoboku, Shima’s cooking is considered top-notch. The dishes are delicious and savory.

"Next time, definitely next time." Kazekaze refused without a second thought. Just thinking about the things Shima cooked made him feel like vomiting. Thus, after bidding farewell to Fukasaku and Shima, Kazekaze and his group quickly returned to the Hidden Leaf Village. Even the various luggage they brought along the way, they left behind at Mount Myoboku if they could. On one hand, it was a gift for Fukasaku and the others. On the other hand, it was to reduce weight.

Thinking about how Uchiha Madara had already set his sights on him, Kazekaze’s mindset on returning to the village was naturally different from when he came. Now, he must return to the Hidden Leaf Village as quickly as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications. Thus, Kazekaze, along with Hiruzen and others, left Mount Myoboku.

Watching Kazekaze’s distant figure, Fukasaku couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

"Old lady, what do you think is going on here?"

"I don’t know." Shima thought for a moment and shook her head vigorously. Even now, she couldn’t figure it out. Why did Uchiha Madara, who was supposed to be dead, come back to life? Why did the fallen Uchiha Madara turn into someone else? There are too many mysteries in this. Perhaps, only by truly meeting Uchiha Madara can all the questions be resolved. However...

From the current situation, Uchiha Madara is very likely plotting some kind of conspiracy. And Kazekaze’s growth rate has already seriously affected Uchiha Madara.

"Yes, that’s very possible." Fukasaku nodded vigorously, agreeing with Shima’s speculation, "It seems that the ninja world, which has finally calmed down, is about to experience turmoil again."

At the same time, in the crevice of hell, Uchiha Madara was sweating profusely, looking down at his hands, breathing heavily.

"In the end, was it all for nothing?" Uchiha Madara never dreamed that Kazekaze would rush to Mount Myoboku and learn sage techniques. No matter how he thought about it, it was too absurd. How could something like sage techniques be learned so quickly? Even Senju Hashirama took a long time to learn sage techniques in the place of inheritance.

"If it weren’t for Sage Mode, my Susanoo could have easily eliminated Kazekaze, eradicating future troubles." Uchiha Madara clenched his fists tightly. In fact, if the clone at that time had a bit more chakra, even Sage Mode couldn’t have saved Kazekaze. However, the current Uchiha Madara is indeed not at his peak. During the time hiding in the crevice of hell, he hadn’t fought anyone, causing his strength to regress significantly. This time, giving out thirty percent of his chakra was almost his body’s limit.

The most troublesome thing is... This time, the Shapeshifting Technique also caused some damage to Madara’s body. In the coming period, he won’t be able to use this ninjutsu. Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara glanced back at the Gedo Statue behind him. If it weren’t for awakening the Rinnegan, he might have died long ago. Now he’s just forcibly extending his life using the power of the Gedo Statue. As for power, Uchiha Madara actually doesn’t have much.

"Truly a pity... But never mind. With Hashirama’s condition, he shouldn’t live much longer. Even if I don’t make a move. As long as Hashirama dies, the peace agreement between the Five Great Ninja Villages is just a scrap of paper. At that time, a war is very likely to break out in the ninja world."

The First Shinobi World War. Uchiha Madara analyzed the future situation and deduced the future direction. Only Hashirama lived in an ideal world. Only Hashirama’s power could turn the ideal world into reality. And Kazekaze, although he has very strong power, is still far from Senju Hashirama.

"His power is not enough to become the second overseer of the peace agreement. And considering Kazekaze’s talent, those who call themselves Kage will definitely try every means to eliminate Kazekaze. Everything Kazekaze does is just a dying struggle." Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara closed his eyes and simply began to recuperate. This was also the reason for his disagreement with Hashirama back then. Hashirama’s ideas were too idealistic, too beautiful. To the point of being unrealistic. The peace of the ninja world was coerced by Hashirama’s great power. Once the ninja world loses Hashirama, chaos is inevitable. War will go on endlessly. Only his Eye of the Moon plan can fundamentally and completely solve this problem.

Yes. The only person who can truly bring peace to this world is himself. And for this ideal, Uchiha Madara is willing to continue to endure. At the same time, he must endure. All of this is for peace.

"White Zetsu, continue to observe Kazekaze, and then report all his movements to me." Uchiha Madara spoke in a low voice, continuing to assign tasks.

"Yes." White Zetsu nodded, actually shocked to the extreme in his heart. He never expected. Even Uchiha Madara’s Shapeshifting Technique couldn’t kill Kazekaze. This kind of thing is simply incredible. Unbelievable. Kazekaze is only seven years old, right?
