The moon was cloaked in heavy darkness that fell to the earth. The clouds jostled amongst each other causing loud vibrations and flashes of light. The bodies of the silent men lay wide-eyed to the rain, but the blood and the dust washed away.

After all, this is the battlefield between Konoha and Iwa Shinobi. Every day where hundreds of ninjas die and human life had long since become only a number. However, this also provides some people with the opportunity to pick up dead bodies.

As a transmigrator, Yoru was under a lot of pressure when he first came to this inhuman world of shinobi. However, what is interesting is that this body of his was a slime and resembled a certain ultimate slime from another world.

Similar to the ultimate slime, he also has predation but unlike the ultimate slime, he also possessed another ability, Darkness manipulation.

After the initial panic, Yoru became quite calm. The war between Konoha and Iwa shinobi provided him with an excellent opportunity to pick up corpses. Although he didn't pick up anything good so far, he remembered there seemed to be a certain man named Obito who would be crushed during this war. Uchiha's Sharingan, how could such an interesting thing be spared?

These days, Yoru has been observing the battlefield and absorbing some corpses of Konoha and Iwa shinobi. Now, he is no longer interested in ordinary corpses. Anyway, it won't improve his ability a lot. Now, his goal is the bloodline limit and the tailed beast. After all, if you want to play a pleasant game in this world, you can't do it without any strength.

So after some days, Yoru finally reached his destination, a collapsed cave. Yoru looked around the cave spotting a large boulder. Beneath the boulder was a boy whose right side was completely crushed by the boulder and seemed dead.

Looking at the seemingly dead body, Yoru waved his hand and a black shadow rose from the ground, moving toward the boy.

Just as the tentacle reached the boy, Yoru felt a strong heat around him.

[Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu]

A huge fire dragon attacked Yoru but before making contact, a barrier of black tentacles rose from the ground protecting him. Yoru looked at the attacker. There stood an old man in red armor. The old man looked extremely worn and emaciated, with his hair turned thin and white but the most noticeable feature was his eyes.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

In the dark cave, the eyes glowed red, with three tomoe.

Oh! This man seems to be...

"Take the boy!" Madara Uchiha ordered a white Zetsu.

The tomoe in his eyes spun, ready to launch an illusion on the boy. If he had a younger body, he would have definitely used a better method, but his old age shackles him.

Thinking like this, Madara didn't hesitate to use the illusion on the boy.

However, he stared at the boy opposite him for a long time, but the boy just stood there not moving even an inch.

"Sharingan? It's really interesting but unfortunately, it seems the illusion seems to be useless. " Yoru spoke slowly.

If he was a human, he would have probably been under the illusion, but the identity of a slime negates it even if the head is taken off, it doesn't matter. Not to mention, to prevent things like genjutsu, he had long been prepared.

"..."

Just as the tension in the air intensifies, the stalemate was broken by a sudden voice.

"Nonetheless, It is quite surprising to find the legendary Madara Uchiha is still alive," Yoru revealed the identity of Madara Uchiha in a single sentence.

"Since you are aware of my identity. I advise you to leave now if you don't want to end up as a corpse." Madara said aggressively.

Now he is very weak, if he was in his prime he would not give such warnings but directly kill the boy but his frail old body didn't give him much of a choice. In particular, Yoru was immune to his illusion, making him subconsciously think that other party was a master.

"Of course, I don't want to die. If I met you in your prime, I would not hesitate to flee but in your current state how much chakra can you muster? How much power can you exert? If you were able to kill me easily, you would not even think of doing so using illusions. Moreover, the Uchiha Madara would not persuade me to flee with his personality, he would directly act and kill me without wasting a single thought." Yoru stated the current situation on the battlefield, in a calm yet melodious voice.

If he can do it, he won't talk nonsense like now, his pride would not allow it. Madara Uchiha believes in strength rather than words so the reason he didn't do it is that he could not.

The situation seemed to favor Yoru from the outside but he was still not careless. Madara Uchiha has survived till now, who knows what other trump cards he has? He may be able to get the strongest Sharingan but only if he can overpower Madara otherwise he will likely fail.

As they say, fear an old man in a profession where men usually die young. Especially if the old man is Madara Uchiha.

So Do I really want to finish all this with a gamble?

With such thoughts, the gear in his head turned to search for ways to win.

If he moves now, he will likely expose his bottom line. So, immobility is the better option. As long as he doesn't move, the other party will not see the truth of his situation.

"You are very smart." Madara didn't deny the statement.

"Smart people usually live longer."
