Start with the Mangekyo Sharingan: Follow Lord Madara out of Konoha

At the Shinobi Bridge Base, as Kamihane pushed open the stone door, Hikari's reminder floated through his mind.

'Lord Madara's mood seems to have improved.'

The light in the stone room was a little dim, and a faint smell of meat lingered in the air. The corners of Kamihane's mouth turned up slightly. It seemed the old Madara was in a good mood, and he had actually cooked himself today. It was a bit of a pity he hadn't gotten to eat any.

Uchiha Madara sat quietly on the stone chair, propping his chin with his hands in contemplation. His eyes were deep and his aura was heavy, like a lurking tiger.

"You're back?" Seeing Kamihane return, a bit of fluctuation entered his eyes.

"Mm." Kamihane stretched languidly, picked up a teacup on his own, and poured himself a cup of cold tea, swallowing it down in one gulp.

He let out a long breath and said, "I went to Konohagakure and picked up my great-nephew, and conveniently kidnapped two gifted little guys."

"So, your arrangements and plans were successful. How did you arrange them all?" Madara asked with interest.

"They're all temporarily settled in the Land of Iron. Uchiha Nian and Uchiha Kirito are together, and Orochimaru and Hiruko have already become my disciples and officially started the Gene Fusion Experiment." Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows. "Lord Madara, I have disciples now, too."

Madara shook his head and chuckled, the corners of his lips curling up with a hint of arrogance. "You brat, you do have the qualifications, but I still don't understand. We spent so much effort researching it for so long without success. Can these two little devils succeed?"

"Lord Madara, they have the potential." Kamihane nodded with a confident look. "The desire for power, the understanding of eternal life, and the expertise in experimentation and development... they definitely can."

Just kidding, in the original timeline, these two were one who lit up the biotechnology tree, independently developed Orochimaru Style Secret Techniques, Cursed Seals, Living Corpse Reincarnation, and even mastered cloning technology in the end, possessing an immortal body with extremely strong recovery power and complete immortality—a shinobi scientist!

The other was a madman who, with mediocre qualifications, step by step developed and perfected the Oniyara Secret Technique, touched the taboo of the life level, successively devoured the four Kekkei Genkai, and dared to challenge the Five Kage, taking on the five great nations with his own strength, even if he hadn't completely become an immortal body!

So-called specialization in specific fields, in today's shinobi world, if these two can't break through Tobirama's experiment, I guess no one else has the ability.

Perhaps… Kamihane can only wait for Amado many years later.

Madara asked thoughtfully, "What did you do with Konohagakure?"

"I've already sent people to cut off all the hands they stretched out of the village. Consider it a deterrent." Kamihane smiled slightly. "Don't worry, Lord Madara, everything is going according to my plan."

After a moment, he thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Lord Madara, will the Ōtsutsuki Clan affect our 'Eye of the Moon' Plan?"

Unexpectedly, Madara actually snorted coldly, his eyes revealing a contemptuous arrogance. "A mere Ōtsutsuki Clan, even you kid can kill them in one fell swoop. Can't I, as your master, do it?"

Kamihane was a little surprised and blinked. "So… our next goal..."

"Won't change!"

Madara said in a deep voice: "My dream is to create a perfect world without war, without pain, without hatred, where everyone can live in their own ideals, a world where everyone, whether shinobi or ordinary people, can live in peace. This has never changed."

"Realizing this dream may not be easy and requires a lot of effort and cost. I will use my strength, my wisdom, my beliefs, and stake everything to achieve it. No matter what kind of enemy I encounter, I will not give up!"

"But…" he changed the subject, his domineering tone carrying the awe-inspiring majesty of a king. "Before that, I must find out the details of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and see what kind of sacred beings they are. If they dare to block my way, I will kill all of the so-called gods! If even Infinite Tsukuyomi can't save the world, then I'll find a real way!"

Madara touched that stark white eye, his voice low. "No matter what, awakening the Rinnegan is a necessary step. Before those Ōtsutsuki descend, I still have to collect the Nine Tailed Beasts and become the second Sage of Six Paths!"

"Welcome back, Lord Madara."

Kamihane silently walked to Madara's side, his pupils gentle, slowly raising his head, his eyes soft and firm.

"Also... it's us."

...

Konohagakure.

"What! Orochimaru... defected?"

Inside the Hokage Building, Tsunade stared blankly at Sarutobi Hiruzen behind the office desk, her pupils trembling.

"This... that's impossible, are you kidding me? Why would that guy defect? He…" Jiraiya's face was incredulous. "He has no reason to…"

"I'm going to bring him back!" Tsunade said with a grim face, and turned to rush out the door.

Hiruzen immediately ordered his subordinates to stop her, and sighed softly: "It's useless, I've already sent someone to look for him, but he didn't leave any traces."

Tsunade was a little despondent, muttering non-stop, "Why would this happen..."

Jiraiya patted her shoulder with a complex expression, and scenes of several people getting along and training unconsciously flashed through his mind, making him feel like he was dreaming.

Just moments before, they had spent an entire afternoon finally returning to Konohagakure along the way. Just as they were reporting to the Hokage Building with apologies, they learned this news from their teacher's mouth:

"Orochimaru and Hiruko defected last night, took advantage of the chaos to attack the Konoha Hidden Research Facility, and took away valuable data and materials, and have disappeared without a trace."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. The pipe on the desk had been burning for who knows how long, and white smoke drifted slowly, rising into the air like his worries, unable to be dispelled.

In front of his disciples, he also wanted to remain calm, but the bad news one after another made him sigh again and again.

First of all, according to Tsunade and Jiraiya's description, Uchiha Nian had been taken away by Uchiha Kamihane and had left Konohagakure. Once a person fell into that guy's hands, it would be impossible to get him back.

Secondly, Orochimaru and Hiruko seemed to have evaporated from the world. The shinobi team sent out from Konoha's west gate did not find any trace, and even Hatake Sakumo and Katō Dan, whom he valued, could not find any clues.

He subconsciously wanted to smoke, but his bandaged hands trembled and wiped towards the desk. Just as he touched the pipe, he sighed again. Only then did he realize that even he, the Hokage, was seriously injured. In an instant, even the desire to smoke was gone.

Considering the relationship between Orochimaru and Uchiha Nian, and the timing of the defection last night, he had every reason to suspect that the disappearance of these two was also inseparable from Uchiha Kamihane.

The thought of that demonic star's figure gave him a headache.

At this moment, perhaps the only good news was that Danzo would never dare to mention recommending himself as Hokage again.

When he saw Tsunade and Jiraiya return on their own, but no Root shinobi, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
