In this crossover anime, many ruthless and powerful figures reside in my territory.

"Mr. Ban, our Red Maple Town is just an ordinary small town. Please be kind and we will treat you well."

Seeing Lister's humble attitude, Lena and the other guards were startled and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Oh? You know me?"

Madara Uchiha looked at Lister with great interest.

He had just concluded that this might not be the ninja world, since there was someone in front of him who recognized him, which must be related to the person who had inexplicably given him the information.

"Yes."

Lister tugged at his collar, straightened up, and then gestured for his guards to move behind him.

"I learned about Mr. Madara after he came to our world through the portal."

Wow... Age spots squinted slightly.

Sure enough.

"Then do you know how I can get back?"

Lister paused for a moment, then used his mind to activate his idiot system.

The system interface is flashing, but the text is still legible.

【Precautions】

1. Recruited individuals can use their thoughts to return to their own world or come to Red Maple Territory at any time.

2、! @＃￥%……＆*

A string of gibberish nearly gave Lister a heart attack.

What kind of system is this? It can't even display all the precautions! What use is it to me?!

Lister withdrew his gaze and met Madara Uchiha's eyes again.

"Mr. Ban, all you need to do is silently think about returning to your original world."

The next second, Madara Uchiha disappeared from the spot.

Whew~~~~~~

Lister, who had just been tense, let out a long sigh of relief.

The plague god is finally gone.

However, less than two seconds later, the elderly Madara Uchiha reappeared in front of Lister and the others.

...Heh...hehehehe...the plague god is back again...

Madara Uchiha saw with his own eyes that Lister's lips, which had been trembling with relief, now curled back into a stiff smile.

What are you doing back here?!

Madara Uchiha saw this sentence in Lister's eyes.

"I ask you."

"Will people from other worlds come here in the future?"

"……I guess so……"

Lister's lips twitched; he seemed to foresee that this "Territory Building System (Youth Version)" would bring him a great deal of trouble.

What's the point of a recruitment system that he can't control at all?

It's like opening a blind box! He has no idea whether he knows the people who come, or whether they're good or bad people!

Madara is alright, at least he won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. But what if a heartless guy comes along?

Although Lister said nothing, Madara Uchiha, with his exceptionally sharp eyes, understood what Lister meant.

This kid is already starting to worry that everyone who comes after him will be like him.

The old man and the young man looked at each other silently, countless thoughts flashing through their minds, but neither of them spoke first.

The guards around them, as well as the butler and maids who had just run down the stairs, remained silent.

At that moment, a point of light suddenly rose from the distant sky and burst into a dazzling crimson flame.

As the sound of fireworks approached, Lister and the others' expressions instantly turned serious.

Madara Uchiha immediately realized that the fireworks were likely some kind of signal.

Moreover, the boy's expression had completely changed.

His demeanor shifted dramatically from his previous cautiousness, revealing a hint of anger.

"Mr. Ban, you are a guest. Someone else will be attending to you."

"Cortini! This Mr. Ban is now the most distinguished guest in our territory. We shall receive him with the highest honors."

"but me……"

Lister gazed in the direction of the fireworks, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Now we must go and deal with those gnolls who dare to invade again—"

"Broken into pieces!"

Chapter 3 The Gnoll Attack

Although the territory was in a state of emergency, Lister did not forget which entity was the most dangerous.

He immediately pulled aside the housekeeper, Cortini, and explained the current situation in the most concise way possible.

First, this is Madara Uchiha from another world. He is extremely powerful and can reduce Red Maple Town to ashes with a wave of his hand.

Second, Madara Uchiha is a ruthless person. Fulfill all his requests and never disobey him.

Third, although Madara Uchiha is a ruthless person, he will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and you can still communicate with him, so don't be too nervous.

Before he could finish speaking, several maids had already brought over Lister's personal full-body armor, and Lister's guards had also changed into metal armor.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the maids helped Lister put on his armor.

After getting dressed, Lister looked at Madara Uchiha.

“Mr. Ban, there is a crisis in the territory. As the lord, I must go to meet the enemy. Please do as you wish.”

"I will treat you to a meal after the battle is over."

After saying this, Lister and his five guards mounted their warhorses and left the castle.

Madara Uchiha glanced at the orc maids around him.

babble!!!

The bunny-eared maid's legs trembled and her teeth chattered.

Those scarlet eyes were like a blood-red hell, hiding mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Then Madara Uchiha looked at the person Lister had entrusted to him earlier.

Pointed ears...

The housekeeper, Cortini, noticed the bloodshot gaze. Her body stiffened for a moment before slowly relaxing.

"Mr. Ban, according to Lord Lister's orders, please tell me directly if you have any needs."

Madara Uchiha slowly withdrew his gaze.

need?

What other needs does he have besides fulfilling his ideals?

In order to wait for the right moment to achieve his ideal goal, he hid underground and relied on the input from the Outer Path Golem to replenish his nutrition.

Having given up all material desires, what else does he need?

No, this other world did pique his curiosity.

And... what kind of being brought him into this world?

"Your name is Cortini, right?"

"Can you understand what I'm saying?"

Kotini was a little confused; she couldn't understand what she was saying.

Then she heard Madara Uchiha speak a language she had never heard before.

"This……"

Madara Uchiha had already gotten the answer from Cortini's performance.

Hmph, that's a very clever rule.

He had just spoken in the language of the Naruto world, but he wanted the other person to understand the first two sentences. However, he didn't want Kotini to understand the later sentences.

The results proved that the existence that could seal his power might be a kind of humane rule.

This rule will manifest differently depending on his thoughts.

interesting.

In his world, he always stayed in the dark underground to hide himself.

Now that he has arrived in another world, he can still feel the energy transmitted from the Gedo Mazo.

There was no one in this world who could influence his ideals, and he could perhaps spend the boring time waiting for his opportunity here.

Madara Uchiha was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

"...What is a gnoll?"

Kotini, who was standing next to her, immediately replied.

"They are orcs who inhabit the Frosty Winter Mountains region."

"Their civilization is very primitive. They live in tribal communities and frequently migrate, hunt, and plunder local resources."

"They are unproductive, bloodthirsty and filthy, and frequently harass Red Maple Town."

Orcs...
