Chapter 510
When Uchiha Mirror took out a stiff corpse, everyone present was silent. Uchiha Izuna widened his scarlet Sharingan, his face full of disbelief.
"This guy..."
Even though Senju Tobirama's illegitimate daughter had given him a heads-up in advance, hinting that Senju Tobirama might be in grave danger,
Uchiha Izuna still held a glimmer of fantasy, poking the corpse's pale cheeks with the scabbard in his hand, trying to wake up his old rival who was playing dead.
"Stop pretending, reinforcements have arrived; hurry up and stand up with a 'whoosh' like you used to!"
As his lifelong rival, Senju Tobirama should have been defeated at his feet, not died inexplicably in such a wilderness.
"Hey! I told you to hurry up, don't keep everyone waiting."
Uchiha Izuna's face was tight, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the hilt bulged. The force of his poking couldn't help but increase a bit.
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but turn their heads away. Anyone could feel the sadness radiating from Uchiha Izuna.
"Lord Assistant, please don't do this anymore; Secretary-sama is already dead."
Sarutobi Sasuke really couldn't watch anymore and stepped forward to block in front of Senju Tobirama's corpse.
If he kept poking like this, the corpse's chin would almost be poked off.
"You're talking nonsense! This guy has many little tricks; he must be hiding nearby right now, preparing to watch my joke, and I won't let him succeed!"
Uchiha Izuna raised his head suddenly, his scarlet eyes filled with a murderous aura.
Hearing this, Senju Feizhen, who was secretly observing her clone, raised her head with slight astonishment. Feeling a bit guilty, she retreated a little bit without a trace.
And Sarutobi Sasuke, who was looking at Uchiha Izuna, felt a tightness in his heart subconsciously, but he didn't mean to step aside.
"Lord Assistant, please accept my condolences, but we have more important things to do."
Bowing to Uchiha Izuna, who looked like he was going crazy, he reminded him neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"The Hokage's life or death is still unknown."
"Sigh... I know."
Looking down at Senju Tobirama's cold corpse, Uchiha Izuna took a deep breath, and his scarlet eyes gradually turned back to black, while also hiding the imperceptible sadness deep in his heart.
"You guys, help her collect the remains. Mirror, come here and tell me the whole process of what happened in detail."
Turning around, Uchiha Izuna pointed at Senju Feizhen, who didn't dare to raise her head because of her guilty conscience, and ordered a few Konoha ninjas to assist her in collecting Senju Tobirama's remains, while he beckoned to Uchiha Mirror, who looked sad, signaling him to go aside and talk.
"Miss Feizhen, right? Please accept my condolences."
The few Konoha ninjas who helped collect the remains saw Senju Feizhen lowering her head and not speaking, thinking she was overly sad at the moment, so they were very careful when speaking.
"Uh..."
Senju Feizhen pondered for a few seconds and felt that the persona she had now must be maintained, so without any rehearsal, she entered the role in one second.
"Ugh... ugh..."
Under the gaze of several people, the girl with long white hair slowly raised her head, and the scarlet eyes identical to Senju Tobirama's were filled with tears.
Bean-sized teardrops crossed her fair cheeks, her delicate nose was slightly red, and her full lips were bitten white—a pitiful appearance that made even the iron-hearted ninjas feel a softening in their hearts.
"Miss Feizhen, don't be sad; we will definitely avenge Secretary-sama."
Disguise is one of the most basic abilities of a ninja. As a leader among ninjas, Senju Tobirama was bound to strive for perfection. Playing a girl who had just lost her father was nothing difficult.
"Sob sob... thank... thank you everyone~"
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and bowed slightly to the group.
"Miss Feizhen, you're too polite; this is what we should do!"
At the same moment Senju Feizhen entered the role, Uchiha Gin, hiding in the Realm of Shadows, held a DV camera with a wicked smile, recording the white-haired brat's wonderful performance without missing a single frame.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is top-notch dark history; it's enough to make that white-haired brat work for me for free for ten years."
Putting away the DV camera with a tsking sound, Uchiha Gin's expression became solemn, and his eyes were full of thought.
According to Senju Feizhen's description, the clone she controlled with the Elephant Formation Technique had eliminated a clone before dying, but now there were no traces of any clones on the battlefield, indicating that the battlefield had been cleaned up by the enemy later.
By analogy, his missing cousin was likely defeated and captured just like the Hashirama Wood Human; he should have been tied up by the enemy and turned into a ball of yarn by now, right?
"As long as he's not dead, there's hope. It's time to let that kid suffer a bit, otherwise, he only knows how to look at people with his nostrils all day, and can't learn a single bit of humility from me."
Uchiha Gin shook his head. Although he said he wanted to let Uchiha Madara learn a lesson, his body was very honest and performed the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Whoosh——
The next moment, accompanied by a flash of golden light, Uchiha Gin's figure landed in a magnificent palace.
Putting back the unhappy Wangliang, he turned and walked into the depths of the palace.
"Greetings, Lord Gin!"
The guards on duty saw the familiar curly hair from afar and immediately bowed to salute. Uchiha Gin nodded.
"Is Uncle here?"
"The Daimyo is currently meeting with Young Master Fu."
"Huh?"
"Young Master Fu is currently serving as the head of the Uchiha Chamber of Commerce, and he came here this time for business negotiations."
Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows in surprise. This kid Fu is really not bad; he's even doing business with the main family side.
Because the Uchiha population permanently residing in the Land of Waves had long exceeded that of Konoha, Uchiha Gin had begun to let them privately call themselves the Uchiha main family.
The group in Konoha had instead become the declining branch family. Of course, they, who were still in the dark, knew nothing about the change in identity.
Since the grandfather and grandson were connecting their feelings, Uchiha Gin didn't want to disturb the scenery. After waiting for a while, he saw Uchiha Fu, whose expression was a bit strange, leaving the palace in a hurry.
Creak~
Uchiha Gin, who was puzzled by this, turned and pushed the door to enter. Hearing footsteps, Uchiha Tajima, sitting on the high seat, raised his head in confusion.
"Gin, what time do you have to come visit?"
"I just saw that kid Fu's expression was a bit wrong; you didn't expose your identity to him, did you?"
Recalling Fu's strange expression just now, Uchiha Gin asked curiously.
"It's not the time yet."
Uchiha Tajima shook his head gently. The Land of Waves hadn't developed into a country that could compete with the great powers and needed to secretly develop for a while longer.
"That's strange. That kid Fu has always been steady; I've never seen him show that kind of expression."
"Uh... maybe I was too enthusiastic?"
Uchiha Tajima touched his chin, recalling that during the negotiation just now, he kept holding his grandson's hand to show concern. Perhaps his overly enthusiastic attitude made the other party unable to adapt for a while.
"Damn it! Never thought the Daimyo of the Land of Waves was also an old gay!"
Fu, who had already sat on the boat back to the Land of Fire, finally couldn't help but curse out loud. He kept using water to scrub his hands, and looking at his posture, he wouldn't give up until he scrubbed the skin off.
"If it weren't for making money, I would never come to this ghost place in my life."
Recalling the burning gaze of the Daimyo of the Land of Waves, Uchiha Fu subconsciously tightened his butt. He had an impression of that gaze; it was exactly the same as the president of the Land of Waves' Chamber of Commerce.
"Phew! No wonder it's called the Land of Waves; it turns out they are all a bunch of old gays."
"Achoo!"
In the palace, Uchiha Tajima, who had just finished hearing the explosive news a second ago, sneezed a big sneeze for some reason the next moment.
"Gin, what did you say? Madara is missing?"
After wiping his nose, he stood up with a look of suspicion, and his black eyes couldn't help but flash with murderous scarlet.
Uchiha Gin picked up the tea that hadn't been cleared away, took a sip, and nodded slowly.
"It happened not long ago."
"Who did it? The Senju clan?"
Worthy of being an old enemy, Uchiha Tajima immediately put the blame on the Senju clan.
"In vain, I helped them launder money last time; if I had known, I would have just eaten black and eaten black."
Previously, looking at the fact that his son was about to take office, Uchiha Tajima had a sudden kindness and helped the Senju brothers launder a large sum of money to fill the gap in Konoha's finances.
He only charged a 30% handling fee, which could be called charity.
"This matter really has something to do with the Senju clan, but they are also the victims."
"Hmm?"
Smacking his lips, Uchiha Gin put down the tea in his hand and said after thinking for a while.
"Senju Tobirama... is dead in every sense."
"To think there is such a good thing; immediately pass the order down, celebrate for a month across the country, and every family can receive a big red envelope."
"Uh..."
Looking at his excited uncle with black lines on his head, Uchiha Gin scratched his head helplessly.
"Isn't it a bit excessive to celebrate now? People haven't even passed their seventh day yet~"
"Hmph! Do you think I don't know? After I faked my death back then, the Senju clan celebrated for a full half a year; I've already been restrained enough."
The uncle who sat back in his seat snorted coldly, revealing his broad-mindedness.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about the celebration later. The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the disappearance of my cousin, like the disappearance of Senju Hashirama, is the work of the same group of people."
"Is it that monk Jigen you asked the Kiheitai to investigate before?"
Hearing this intelligence, Uchiha Tajima frowned slightly. The Land of Waves' intelligence network was not weaker than other great powers, but so much time had passed, and the news of Jigen was like a stone sinking into the sea, without finding any valuable clues.
"That's right. I came this time to ask Uncle to pay attention; the one who went missing this time is your own eldest son."
"Leave it to me!"
Regarding his own good eldest son, Uchiha Tajima naturally wouldn't take it lightly.
"I'm relieved to hear you say that."
After giving instructions, Uchiha Gin stood up to leave, but was stopped by Uchiha Tajima raising his hand.
"Gin, wait a moment; I happen to have something to tell you too."
"Oh?"
Turning his head to look at his uncle, whose expression was slightly solemn, Uchiha Gin sat back down, looking like he was listening.
"Gin, the Great Transfer Plan has encountered a bottleneck."
"What happened?"
After hearing the words "Great Transfer Plan," Uchiha Gin got some spirit.
This was a plan he had personally formulated, and its ultimate goal was to quietly transfer all the Uchiha clan members of the Land of Fire to the Land of Waves, this new territory, so that every clan member could live a wealthy life without shackles.
"The clan members currently in Konoha have begun to refuse to accept external missions, which makes our plan to shed the shell difficult to implement."
"Now that you mention it, I do have some impression."
Uchiha Gin nodded thoughtfully.
Because their Great Transfer Plan was in full swing, the Uchiha clan members in Konoha were consumed too rapidly, with clan members dying because of missions every day, and the combat loss ratio even exceeded that of the chaotic Warring States Period.
This also made some extreme clan members in the clan have the illusion that someone wanted to harm them, and they were in a state of panic all day long. The speed of this emotion spreading was quite fast.
After Uchiha Madara successfully took over the Hokage position, the long-accumulated emotions of the clan members finally erupted.
Led by the conservative faction headed by Uchiha Setsuna, they submitted an application for rest and recuperation to Uchiha Madara. The content of the petition included but was not limited to:
Uchiha clan members have the right to refuse external missions.
Uchiha clan members must participate in a matchmaking event after becoming adults and get married within a year.
The most, most, most important point:
Prohibit being gay!
Every bullet of the Uchiha clan should be fired for the revival of the family.
Such an outrageous petition was naturally rejected by his cousin on the spot, but Uchiha Setsuna's faction was not discouraged. Every time they held a clan meeting, they would bring out petitions with similar content for everyone to appreciate.
Over time, Uchiha Madara also had a headache. He also saw the fact that a large number of clan members were passing away and was anxious in his heart.
Finally, under Uchiha Setsuna's annoying harassment, he withstood the pressure from all sides and decided to pass the first application in the petition.
Uchiha clan members have the right to refuse external missions, but as a price, they must regularly serve as volunteers for the village for free, helping every villager in need.
Since then, basically no Uchiha clan members have gone out to perform missions, which has added great difficulty to Uchiha Gin's Great Transfer Plan.
"Actually, this is also good. You can't put all your eggs in one basket."
Uchiha Gin thought about it and felt that it was not bad to let Uchiha Setsuna and the others continue to stay in the village. Anyway, that kid with a gloomy face didn't look like a good person at first glance. Transferring him to the Land of Waves would be counterproductive and add trouble to his uncle.
The Great Transfer Plan was not without details. Every clan member transferred was transferred after detailed screening.
Those who are still in Konoha now, except for the clan members Uchiha Gin is closer to, are all guys who haven't passed the screening and have unstable personalities.
"The important thing now is to find my cousin; the Great Transfer Plan can be put aside for now."
Of course, this doesn't mean they have been abandoned; these clan members will always have their uses.
"Even if I have to turn the entire Ninja World upside down, I will find the guy who took Madara and tear him into pieces!"
Uchiha Tajima slammed the table, and the kingly aura he had cultivated from being in a high position for a long time overflowed. Uchiha Gin below immediately turned into a supporting actor.
"Uncle is domineering~"
At the same time, in the northwest corner of the Land of Iron in the north of the Land of Fire, a remote place called the Graveyard of Mountains welcomed an uninvited guest.
"Phew... escaped here, that guy shouldn't be able to find me for a while."
The visitor immediately let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the unconscious man he was carrying on his back, and a hint of inexplicable melancholy appeared on his black-fog-entangled face.
"How should I explain my identity to Indra's reincarnation? Waiting online, quite urgent." (End of chapter)
