Chapter 310

310. Chapter 307: Finally Finished Writing the Introduction

Three days were about to pass. During this period, many elders of the Uchiha clan came to see Uchiha Madara, but were turned away by him. Even Uchiha Izuna, who was closest to him, was shut out.

Uchiha Izuna, who was frustrated, decided to find the only relative he could confide in.

Shop at the entrance of the village

"Cousin, why aren't you worried at all? Didn't you say you wanted to persuade Brother not to leave before? Why can you still eat shaved ice here so leisurely now?"

Uchiha Gin, who was gorging on his monthly quota of shaved ice, didn't pay attention to his little cousin's questioning, but instead focused on dealing with the shaved ice filled with toppings.

"Long live sugar~"

Licking the bottom of the shaved ice bowl clean, Uchiha Gin smacked his lips comfortably, pulled out a tissue from the side, wiped the thick jam from the corner of his mouth, lifted his eyelids to look at Uchiha Izuna, who was anxious in front of him, and shook his head gently.

"Instead of struggling with this problem, you might as well consider when to succeed to the position of patriarch."

"Huh? Now is not the time to say such things..."

"You kid really has the heart to usurp the throne. I'll write it down for you~"

I saw Uchiha Gin smile sarcastically, took out a small notebook, and began to record.

Konoha Year 2, Month X, Day X, Little cousin intends to rebel!

"Cousin! Stop making trouble. Let's talk about serious things now. Brother has locked himself in the shrine for three days."

Has it been three days?

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows when he heard this. The three-day consideration period given by Senju Tobirama had arrived. His cousin would probably leave tonight.

"Izuna, think about things openly. Maybe Cousin is just going out to pick up the wind, and will come back after relaxing his mood."

"I don't know Brother yet? He suddenly said he wanted to leave, he must be hiding something in his heart. It must be because of that hateful white-haired guy. He is the culprit who forced Brother to leave Konoha!"

Clenching his fists fiercely, Uchiha Izuna showed murderous intent in his eyes, gritting his teeth and pointing out the culprit.

Actually guessed it right!

"No! I want to find Brother again, I must let him stay!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

"Sigh~ I'm too difficult."

"Mr. Gin, is the Patriarch really leaving? He was clearly about to become Hokage."

Uchiha Shiori, wearing an apron, walked over from the bar and took away the shaved ice bowl in front of Uchiha Gin. She had also heard a little about Uchiha Madara leaving Konoha, so she couldn't help but gossip.

"Yeah, but he will definitely come back."

"If he leaves for too long, can he still be Hokage when he comes back?"

Glancing obscurely at the shaved ice spoon covered in Uchiha Gin's saliva, the girl frowned slightly. Uchiha Madara's dream was to become Hokage, but does a person who leaves the village privately still have the qualification to serve as Hokage?

"Why not? Some people cheat and swindle outside, are addicted to gambling, and in the end, they still come back to hold power."

"Huh?"

Midnight

Uchiha Madara, who was kneeling in front of the stone tablet, slowly opened his eyes. Three days passed in a flash. He also heard the voices of many clan members, but none of this could shake the thoughts in his heart.

"Time to go."

Uchiha Madara stood up, stuffed the scroll containing the fan and armor into his bag, carried his small luggage, and set off.

Uchiha Madara, who pushed open the shrine gate, was a bit surprised. He didn't expect that a familiar figure would be kneeling at the door.

Uchiha Izuna, who was originally a bit confused, woke up instantly when he heard the sound of opening the door. Looking at Uchiha Madara, who was carrying his luggage, he shouted excitedly: "Brother! Don't..."

Choosing not to talk nonsense with his younger brother, Uchiha Madara's pupils instantly changed into a demonic pattern. Seeing this scene, Izuna was shocked in his heart and subconsciously opened his own Mangekyo. The brothers stared at each other like this.

"Izuna, forgive me this time."

An ordinary Mangekyo was never a match for an Eternal Eye. Uchiha Madara just used pupil power to suppress him, instantly killing Uchiha Izuna, who was caught off guard. Looking at his younger brother who was sleeping soundly, he sighed and disappeared from the Uchiha clan grounds with a flash.

Because it was midnight, there was no one on the street. Walking alone in the cold wind, Uchiha Madara felt a mix of flavors in his heart.

Suddenly, Uchiha Madara found two figures standing not far ahead, as if waiting for him. Sensing the familiar aura, Uchiha Madara didn't take a detour and walked up to meet them.

"Madara, have you decided?"

The Senju brothers, wearing casual clothes, had been waiting here for a long time. Senju Hashirama looked reluctant, looking at Uchiha Madara, who was carrying his luggage and about to set sail, but he still asked an extra question.

Uchiha Madara, who was originally a bit tragic, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.

My luggage is already packed, and you still ask. Are you blind at a young age?

"Hashirama, next time we meet, you will see a completely different me."

Uchiha Madara, full of confidence, straightened his back, looked directly into Senju Hashirama's dark eyes, and promised firmly.

"When you are away from home, don't forget your identity as a Konoha ninja!"

Senju Tobirama, who was standing beside Senju Hashirama, looked at Uchiha Madara, who was wearing a high-collared robe, and didn't find any traces of Konoha on the other party, so he reminded him.

This mission of Uchiha Madara, besides investigating the Tailed Beast Knight, was most importantly to beat the restless four major countries. If the other party had any unusual movements, he had to secretly beat them as a Konoha ninja, let the four major countries stop in time, and strangle the disharmonious factors in the cradle.

"I brought this."

Hearing the implication of Senju Tobirama's words, Uchiha Madara took out a brand-new Konoha forehead protector from the bag behind him and shook it in front of Senju Tobirama.

"Don't be stingy when it's time to show your muscles. Let them understand how big the gap is with our Konoha."

Rarely looking at Uchiha Madara with different eyes, Senju Tobirama nodded with satisfaction.

"Do I need you to teach me?"

"Remember to report the mission progress regularly. If there is intelligence, send it back."

Senju Tobirama always separated public and private matters. This mission of Uchiha Madara was extremely important, and he needed to grasp his movements at all times.

"I will hand the intelligence to the ninja cats, and the ninja cats will hand it over to Cousin."

Previously, under the lead of Uchiha Gin, the Uchiha clan and the ninja cat clan formed an equal mutual aid contract, and the ninja cat clan provided help to the members of the Uchiha clan for a fee.

"Madara, take care on the road, don't play too much, come back early."

Not knowing how long Uchiha Madara would be away for this mission, Senju Hashirama, who felt empty in his heart, said goodbye to him with pain.

"I am the man who is going to be Hokage."

Uchiha Madara nodded. From beginning to end, he was emphasizing that he would definitely return as a king.

"Since it's a secret mission, you can't expose your real name in the report. Have you thought about your code name?"

Looking at the man who was saying his final farewell to his older brother, Senju Tobirama looked complex.

"How about Ninja World Asura?"

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Madara said.

"That won't work, Madara. It sounds like a villain."

Senju Hashirama took the lead in denying it. This code name was murderous, and it didn't sound good at all.

"Then you say one."

"Uh... how about Ninja World Darkness?"

Senju Hashirama's idea was very simple. His nickname was Ninja World God. Giving Uchiha Madara the name Ninja World Darkness sounded full of CP.

Turning your back on the light and embracing the darkness...

As long as it's not called "Root."

"Okay, I should go."

The pleasantries were almost over. Uchiha Madara waved his hand with his back to Senju Hashirama, left a dashing back for the two, and slowly merged into the darkness.

Flashing to the outside of the Konoha gate, Uchiha Madara turned his head and took one last look at the village built by him and Senju Hashirama, clenched his fists, and whispered:

"I will definitely come back!"

As he turned his head to leave, the figure standing a few meters away startled Uchiha Madara, who was full of hot blood.

Who is it? I didn't even notice.

I saw that figure slowly walk out of the darkness, his fluffy curly hair extremely conspicuous under the moonlight. Those familiar dead-fish eyes made Uchiha Madara's heart instantly fall.

"Really, you're leaving tonight? You stared your little cousin unconscious, and didn't even cover him with a quilt. What if he catches a cold?"

Looking at Uchiha Gin, who didn't know how long he had been waiting here, Uchiha Madara was deeply moved.

"Cousin, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind!"

I didn't want to persuade you either, I just came to see you off.

"Cousin, a poor family has a rich road. I can't help you with anything. Take these things. Don't wrong yourself when you are away. Eat what you want, drink what you want, and don't miss out on any enjoyment."

Uchiha Gin said, took out a brand-new storage scroll from the bag behind him, and stuffed it to the other party without saying a word.

"Thanks, Cousin!"

After declining for a while, Uchiha Madara accepted Uchiha Gin's scroll and put it in the bottom layer of his luggage.

The things were sent out, and Uchiha Gin, who was just about to say goodbye with tears, seemed to suddenly remember something. He took out a small notebook, looked at the previous records, and after checking, he gave Uchiha Madara instructions with an unhappy face.

"By the way, if you meet people from the Hidden Rock Village, teach them a lesson for me. During the Five Kage Summit before, Seki-kawa didn't arrange me less."

"I remember."

Uchiha Madara nodded seriously when he heard this. Since his cousin had spoken, he would definitely give the guys in the Hidden Rock Village an unforgettable memory.

The key props that should be sent were sent, and the small reports that should be made were made. Uchiha Gin glanced at the full moon overhead and said goodbye to Uchiha Madara.

"I wish you good luck in your martial arts~"

The news of Uchiha Madara's private departure spread like wildfire a few days later. The villagers of Konoha were shocked, and more were confused.

You have to know that the Uchiha clan, as one of the two founders of Konoha, had a reputation in the village that was not too bad. And Uchiha Madara, as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, was a well-deserved Hokage candidate and would definitely inherit the position of Hokage in the future.

Such a person would actually leave the village without permission, which really made everyone puzzled.

Just as everyone was waiting for the handling results of the Konoha high-level, they found that Senju Hashirama didn't characterize Uchiha Madara's departure as defection, but didn't explain much either, choosing to handle it coldly. This made people think wildly, guessing that there was some kind of dirty political transaction among the Konoha high-level.

In the Sarutobi residence, the ninja alliances with strong feelings were secretly holding a small meeting.

"Sasuke, Uchiha Madara left suddenly. Is Konoha going to change?"

Shimura Kenichi, who had been pushed to the throne of patriarch successor by his "uncle," spoke with a much tougher tone than before. He crossed his hands and leaned against his chin, his eyes filled with some fear.

Even one of the elders, Uchiha Madara, was forced away by the Senju brothers, so how much room would they have for these small ninja clans? It seems that the future Konoha will become a situation where the Senju clan dominates.

"Is there any unusual movement in the Uchiha clan?"

Sarutobi Sasuke had a gloomy face, his brain running fast. He couldn't figure it out either. It was clearly a game that was already half-celebrated, so why did Uchiha Madara leave suddenly?

"If it weren't for Uchiha Izuna, the deputy patriarch, suppressing it, they would have already forced the Hokage Building."

Yamanaka Minako, who had already spied on the Uchiha clan's intelligence, had deep anxiety in her eyes. If the Uchiha clan had a riot, the entire Konoha would definitely suffer heavy damage, and the hard-won peace would be broken.

"Sigh... let the people in the family be safe, don't make any mistakes at this juncture."

Sarutobi Sasuke, who decided to stabilize first, took a deep breath and instructed everyone.

"Yes."

Uchiha Gin's house

Since his cousin left, people from the Uchiha clan rarely came to visit. Even Jiro, who was always slippery, became conscientious, and the workload of Uchiha Lu Cha, the Great Elder, doubled.

All the clan members seemed to have become more silent overnight because of Uchiha Madara's departure.

"Curly baboon, don't be too sad. Maybe your brother is just throwing a tantrum and going out to hide for a few days."

Uchiha Gin, who was lying on the sofa in a daze, suddenly heard Senju Banka's slightly careful words and turned his head in confusion.

"Do I look very sad?"

"You can't even drink your favorite strawberry milk. If that's not sad, what is?"

Senju Banka walked over with a cup of clear tea, placed the teacup in front of Uchiha Gin, hugged the tray, and her clear big eyes were filled with worry.

"Don't worry blindly, strawberry milk is just Out."

Uchiha Gin stood up speechlessly. In Senju Banka's bewildered eyes, he took out a 1L bottle of unknown red liquid that was emitting cold air from his arms, unscrewed the cap, and took a big gulp.

"Hey, man!"

╬д╬

"Hmph~ I was so worried about you, wasting my feelings!"

Uchiha Gin looked like he was enjoying himself, which really made Senju Banka's eyes turn black with anger. She turned around and walked away.

"Phew... it's noon, what are you arguing about? Do you want people to rest?"

Perhaps because the two were talking too loudly, Uchiha Hikari on the second floor pushed the door open with sleepy eyes, walked down wearing a thin nightgown, sat beside Uchiha Gin, and took a sip of the tea Senju Banka had made.

"Eh? So sweet."

Disdainfully putting back the tea with three spoons of sugar, the girl curled her legs and leaned on Uchiha Gin's shoulder, asking softly,

"Gin, do you need me to kill the Senju brothers?"

The girl's tone was calm, as if she were asking what to buy for lunch.

"Pfft!"

Uchiha Gin, who was startled by this, spat out the iced black tea in his mouth, wiped his mouth in a mess, hugged Uchiha Hikari, who was indifferent, and said in a very serious tone,

"Let's live a good life, don't say such dangerous words, okay?"

"Then tonight..."

"As long as you don't mess around, I'll follow you."

The matter of Uchiha Madara leaving finally calmed down under the washing of time. Occasionally, when villagers mentioned it, they just took it as a story of the past, which couldn't stir up any ripples.

Under the leadership of Uchiha Izuna, the Uchiha clan developed steadily, but the clan members gradually became introverted, with a few less ostentatious than before.

Konoha Year 4

Two years had passed since Uchiha Madara left. The Uchiha clan, which was usually deserted, rarely had a lively atmosphere. Red lanterns symbolizing celebration were hung under the eaves of the patriarch's mansion, and smiles rarely seen on their cold faces appeared.

Uchiha Izuna, acting as patriarch, wearing a pure black kimono, was nervously pacing in the courtyard, rubbing his slightly pale hands, his eyes fixed on the gate of the inner courtyard.

"Why hasn't Cousin come yet?"

Creak~

Speak of the devil!

"Little cousin, I'm in!"

I saw a figure rushing in, it was Uchiha Gin wearing formal attire.

Two years had passed, and time seemed unable to leave any traces on him. His handsome but lazy face was filled with thick smiles. He carried two huge boxes in his hands. Every step he took, he could hear the clanging sound inside.

"Cousin doesn't have any good gifts to give. Take this money to set up a new house~"

"Phew... you finally came. Is there anything wrong with me?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin arrive in time, Uchiha Izuna's hanging heart finally returned to his stomach, and he showed his outfit to the other party.

"Tsk... if you ask me, this set is too plain, not as good as the bridegroom's clothes I recommended to you before..."

Throwing the two big boxes into the courtyard, Uchiha Gin clapped his hands, looking at the traditional wedding clothes on his little cousin with some disdain, feeling that it was not festive at all.

"No way, Mieko wants to wear a white kimono."

Mentioning Mieko, Uchiha Izuna, who was already in his thirties, showed a rare shyness, his black eyes filled with deep tenderness.

"Sigh... you old man at this age, how exactly did you trick that little girl?"

Uchiha Gin was also sighing. He didn't expect his little cousin to really succeed in eating tender grass.

"This still has to thank you, Cousin."

Uchiha Izuna, who was complacent, looked at Uchiha Gin, who was full of disbelief, and thanked him with a smile.

"Huh?"

What does your picking up girls have to do with me?

"Who told you to love eating lemons so much~"

That's right, if it weren't for buying lemons for Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Izuna wouldn't have met Mieko.

"Alright, alright, let's go after packing up!"

Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, Uchiha Gin urged.

"That... is there any news from Brother?"

Looking at the empty courtyard, Uchiha Izuna suddenly asked.

Uchiha Madara had been away for more than two years and had never had any contact with the Uchiha clan during this period. But today was his big happy day, and Uchiha Izuna still had some expectations in his heart.

"Cousin... unfortunately, at least not now."

Uchiha Gin sighed slightly in his heart. It had been a month since he last contacted Uchiha Madara. He said in the letter that he had arrived in the Land of Earth, and the Hidden Rock Village seemed to be a bit restless recently, so he was ready to go and beat them.

And Uchiha Gin also mentioned Uchiha Izuna's big wedding in his reply. I don't know if his cousin took it to heart.

"Phew, let's go."

A flash of disappointment crossed his face, Uchiha Izuna took a long breath and put on a happy smile again.

Wedding scene

Except for the Uchiha clan, many members of other ninja clans came to congratulate. The ninja alliance led by Sarutobi and the Hyuga clan represented by Hyuga Tenyo all arrived at the scene.

"Hokage-sama is here too!"

It wasn't just who shouted, everyone moved their eyes to Senju Hashirama, who was wearing casual clothes, and Senju Tobirama, who had a gloomy face. The originally noisy scene instantly cooled down. Every Uchiha clan member had cold intent in their eyes, and the stiff atmosphere made people with weaker strength unable to breathe.

"Hahaha, Madara's younger brother is getting married. Tobirama, you lost again this time~"

As if accustomed to this kind of cold scene, Senju Hashirama, who was holding a big red envelope, laughed heartily and took the opportunity to tease his younger brother.

"Verbose! I won't be as perverted as that guy, marrying a little girl half his age as his wife."

Senju Tobirama, who crossed his arms, turned his face away in anger, a flash of obscure envy in his scarlet eyes.

Looking around at the Uchiha clan members with unkind faces, the Senju brothers felt a mix of flavors in their hearts.

"..."

"Creak~"

Just as the atmosphere fell to the freezing point, Uchiha Gin appeared with Uchiha Izuna, who was a bit cautious. He first waved at the Uchiha clan members who had unhappy faces. It's a big happy day, why are you hanging your faces? All smile for me!

"What are you stunned for? Keep playing music and keep dancing!"

Then, seeing a group of familiar faces, he immediately greeted everyone with a smile.

"Thanks for coming~"

"Where, where, Mr. Gin's younger brother is getting married, how could we not come?"

The ninja alliance led by Sarutobi Sasuke came to congratulate with big and small bags. Their attitude was very correct at first glance.

"Gin-san, some thin gifts, please accept them."

Hyuga Tenyo nodded at Uchiha Gin. He was followed by more than a dozen servants carrying several beautifully crafted large boxes, which looked very valuable.

Worthy of being a good buddy who has bathed together. I will definitely return the gift when you get married.

"This is our Inuzuka..."

"Our Aburame..."

"Kurama clan..."

With the appearance of the bridegroom, many small ninja clans also came to congratulate one after another, and the scene became lively again.

"Cousin Gin, this is the gift money from me and Tobirama."

Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama walked over and handed the thick red envelope in their hands to Uchiha Gin.

"Hashirama, you have a heart~"

"Sigh... it's a pity that Madara couldn't be here. It's really a pity!"

Looking at the lively scene of the wedding, Senju Hashirama sighed with emotion.

When he got married, everyone was neatly eating at the table. I didn't expect that even the people at that table couldn't be gathered now.

"Who says it isn't!"

Life is really impermanent, big intestine wrapped in small intestine~ (End of chapter)
