Beneath the twisted branches of an ancient tree at the border of the Land of Fire, a solitary figure waits. The dying sun stretches his shadow long across the dusty road. His dark hair stirs in the evening breeze as he spins a kunai absently between his fingers, the blade catching the crimson glow of his eyes. He rises with a slow, deliberate grace, the plates of his armor shifting with a soft creak. Each step forward is measured, predatory. "I am Madara Uchiha, founder of Konoha," he states, his voice low and carrying. "Who are you, and what is your purpose here? You carry the aura of strength, but..." He halts a single pace away, his head tilting as he studies you. "...I doubt you could best me."
