“Besides, why would he care about the gender of a summoning beast!”
Kiyoi Ai giggled inwardly.
She loved seeing Uncle Uchiha Madara’s shocked and irritable expressions.
Honestly, the currently stone-faced Uchiha Madara still looked quite cold in the eyes of others.
Being able to discern Uchiha Madara’s actual emotions through his micro-expressions was perhaps a rare talent of Kiyoi Ai’s.
“Aishatu, this time is for engraving the [Flow Seal] for Uncle Uchiha Madara.”
“I’ll have to trouble Director Gongcun.”
Aishatu nodded and meowed.
“Meow!
Follow me!”
“Director Gongcun is currently testing a new Secret Technique developed by the Lord.”
“A Secret Technique?!”
Uchiha Madara immediately became interested.
“Kiyoi Gen’s previous Secret Techniques were both quite interesting; I wonder what kind of Secret Technique this would be.”
The two and the cat walked along a path surrounded by lush trees into a large building.
The furnishings and decorations inside were distinctly different from the streets outside, leaning more towards modern.
They even saw primitive, bulky-headed computers when they passed by the rooms where the researchers were working.
(PS: The technology in the Ninja World is quite mysterious; Naruto had a laptop when he was a child, so I’m assuming that in Uchiha Madara’s era, there were old-fashioned bulky computers.)
The two and the cat made their way to a large room on the second floor.
Before they even pushed open the door, they heard noisy sounds from inside.
“Come on!
That’s the tenth bowl!”
Cheers rang out, as if everyone was happy that this warrior had finished the tenth bowl of fried rice.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara had a thought he didn’t know if he should voice.
Had they come to the wrong place?
“Click.”
The door was pushed open by Kiyoi Ai, and the scene inside came into view.
A group of people in white lab coats were surrounding a person dressed as a samurai who was frantically swallowing fried rice, cheering them on.
“Too amazing!
That’s already eleven bowls!”
“We really succeeded!”
Uchiha Madara’s expression was cold.
Sure enough, they had come to the wrong place.
“Director Gongcun!”
Hmm?
One middle-aged man with a receding hairline, wearing a white lab coat over a short-sleeved yellow shirt, turned around and looked at Kiyoi Ai.
“Oh my!
Isn’t this Kiyoi Ai!”
Several other people in white lab coats around him also revealed expressions of surprise.
At this, Uchiha Madara finally understood the fact that Kiyoi Ai seemed to be very popular everywhere.
And that they hadn’t come to the wrong place.
“And this is…”
The balding Director Gongcun, seeing the cold, arrogant Uchiha Madara radiating a stern killing intent, immediately associated him with the intelligence Kiyoi Gen had given him.
Long, spiky hair, and a cold expression that looked like someone owed him money.
Oh, it’s that Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara, right!
“You must be Uchiha Madara.”
“Nice to meet you, I am the Director of the Research Institute, Director Gongcun.”
Seeing Director Gongcun reach out his right hand, Uchiha Madara hesitated for a moment.
When Kiyoi Ai tugged at his sleeve, he finally extended his hand.
The two shook hands briefly.
“Please excuse us.”
Director Gongcun touched his hairline, which had receded to the top of his head, and said somewhat awkwardly.
“We are currently testing the Secret Technique [Heaven and Earth Furnace].”
[Heaven and Earth Furnace]?
That name sounds very impressive.
Uchiha Madara became interested; perhaps this Secret Technique was truly powerful?
“Director Gongcun, please give us a brief introduction.”
“Alright, alright, let me explain it briefly first.”
Director Gongcun happily patted Kiyoi Ai’s little head, then organized his thoughts.
“Simply put, this Secret Technique combines Sealing Jutsu with the human digestive system, allowing a person to digest food extremely quickly and replenish their own energy.”
“The digested food leaves no residue when passing through the intestines, so there is absolutely no need to poop!”
Director Gongcun gave a thumbs up with his right hand, looking very proud.
Little did he know that what he said left Kiyoi Ai not knowing how to respond.
“When Gen first proposed this idea, I was shocked for a long time; I didn’t expect it to actually be realized.”
“By consuming large amounts of food, one can quickly recover the losses from cultivation.
Increased eating efficiency can also better nourish every organ in the body, and physical constitution can be greatly improved.”
“It is simply the strongest Secret Technique!”
The surrounding researchers, like Director Gongcun, were all filled with pride, as if they had accomplished something that could change the world.
But Uchiha Madara was somewhat disappointed.
“Um, Director Gongcun, I’m here to have Uncle Uchiha Madara get the [Flow Seal] engraved.”
“Oh, that, very simple, go to the laboratory on the first floor.”
“Aishatu, please help me get that most precious bottle of materials.”
“Everyone, continue your testing.”
“Remember to save the test data and report it to Gen later.”
Then, Director Gongcun took Kiyoi Ai and Uchiha Madara to the laboratory on the first floor, and Aishatu also brought over a small bottle.
“Lord Uchiha Madara, please take off your top and lie on the experimental table.”
Uchiha Madara looked at the cold experimental table, illuminated by lights, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Why did he have the feeling that they were about to dissect him?
“Uncle Uchiha Madara, it will be quick.”
Kiyoi Ai comforted him from the side.
Uchiha Madara let go of his guard, took off his top, and lay directly on the experimental table.
The somewhat bright lights made him not want to open his eyes.
Would they use those surgical tools on the side later?
If they did, what should he do?
“Wait a moment.”
At this time, Director Gongcun took out a writing brush and dipped the tip into the open bottle.
He had overthought it.
“Please use Chakra to make it easier for me to observe the meridian positions.”
Uchiha Madara did as asked, and Chakra instantly filled his entire body.
The next second, he felt Chakra in the Ripple State seep into his body.
Ripple State detection, huh.
After observing, Director Gongcun took out the brush that had been dipped in black powder and drew right onto Uchiha Madara’s heart area.
One spiral, two spirals, three spirals.
These spiraling black patterns connected and intersected, forming complex markings.
“Please control your Chakra to the location of the first [Star Gate].”
Having read the “Book of Secret Techniques,” Uchiha Madara naturally knew what to do.
When he concentrated his Chakra on the acupoint where the first [Star Gate] was located, the spiral patterns drawn on his upper body began to squirm, slowly fading into his skin.
The next moment, he immediately injected a large amount of Chakra into this acupoint.
Three breaths later, complex sealing patterns appeared within this acupoint.
[Star Gate], complete!
So fast!
It was the first time Director Gongcun had seen someone successfully construct the first [Star Gate] in just over ten seconds.
Uchiha Madara sat up; the Chakra in his body had not dissipated, but rather became even more concentrated.
Second, third.
After nearly an hour, Uchiha Madara slowly stopped after constructing the third [Star Gate] in his body.
His physical strength was somewhat depleted.
However,
he clenched his hands and couldn’t help but laugh.
He could feel the brimming Chakra inside his body.
Although he had consumed more than half of his physical strength, the Chakra stored within the [Star Gate] was enough for him to fight at full power for a long time.
What a powerful Secret Technique.
From now on, he would no longer fear Hashirama fighting a war of attrition with him!
Chapter 15 Madara Makes Headlines
“Alright.
Mr.
Uchiha Madara, please maintain the [Flow Seal] within your body yourself from now on; Gen should have told you the specific method.”
Uchiha Madara nodded; this harvest exceeded his expectations.
Even while maintaining a state of full Chakra output, he could feel that the rate of Chakra loss had slowed down significantly.
If [Star Gates] were constructed in all 361 Chakra acupoints throughout his body, according to Gen’s theory, it would be possible to lock in 100% of the Chakra in his body.
However, there was no need to force this nearly impossible task.
“Uncle Uchiha Madara, put on your clothes first, don’t catch a cold.”
Seeing his newly recognized niece handing him his clothes, Uchiha Madara snorted coldly.
Hmph!
With his constitution, no illness could ever afflict him.
“Put it on quickly!”
“Fine.”
