Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Several days had passed since Uchiha Gin completed his mission, and during this period, nothing unexpected had happened. He could finally enjoy himself thoroughly, staying at home every day and living a life that everyone envied.

"Oh~ It's so boring! Little boy, come and dance for me to liven up the atmosphere."

Lying on his back on the sofa in Ge You's posture, Uchiha Gin glanced with his dull dead fish eyes at Senju Itama who was preparing lunch in the kitchen. Looking at the experienced female kid wearing a custom-made apron, standing on a small stool and humming an unknown tune, he picked his nose and gave orders in a very annoying manner.

"Whoosh~"

Unfortunately, daydreaming is not advisable. A cold light appeared first, and a sharp kitchen knife flew over at lightning speed, sticking close to Uchiha Gin's nose and stabbing into the wall of the living room. The whole blade sank into the wall under the blessing of strange power, leaving only the lonely handle.
"Gudong~"

"Don't take it seriously, I was just joking."

Feeling that several hairs on the tip of his nose had been shaved off, Uchiha Gin swallowed hard with fear and stood up trembling.
"If you don't go out to work and earn money every day, do you know how expensive rice is now?"

Senju Itama walked out of the kitchen with an angry look on his face. He first glared at the dead Uchiha Gin, then walked to the wall and reached out to pull out the kitchen knife that was stuck in the wall easily.

"I am also waiting for notification~"

It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but once the word "work" was mentioned, Uchiha Gin got furious. He had given his money and his people, but in the end, he didn't even get a job. How on earth did Hashirama manage to be the Hokage? If the work efficiency remained at this level, he would have to consider changing someone.

"Bang bang bang~"

Just as Uchiha Ginko was thinking to himself, there was a hurried knock on the door. Confused, he looked at the sky. Who would come to visit him in the middle of the day? Could it be a door-to-door salesperson?

"Bang bang bang~"

"I still have to cook, you go and open the restaurant."

Senju Itama, holding a kitchen knife, rolled his eyes at the unmoved Uchiha Gin and motioned him to open the door, while he continued his cooking career with his chubby legs.

What a hassle!

Uchiha Gin stood up helplessly, ruffled his curly hair, yawned and walked over to open the door.
Creak~
"Sorry, we don't use deodorant at home"

Uchiha Gin opened the door without even looking at the person who came in. He waved his hand skillfully to drive them away. It can be seen that there have been quite a few people coming to sell goods in recent times.

"Brother Yin, it's me."

The man with a ponytail standing outside the door looked at Uchiha Gin who was too lazy to even open his eyes, and revealed his identity helplessly.

"Huh? It turns out to be the Fire Core Prisoner, Sasipuri~"

Hearing the familiar voice, Uchiha Gin raised his drooping eyelids, looked at his former colleague, and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Why did you come empty-handed?"

He glanced left and right, only to find that the other party had nothing in his hands. The enthusiasm that had just been ignited suddenly faded away, and his eyelids that had just been opened returned to their original position.
"Well, I won't go in. I'm here today just to inform you, Brother Yin. Please attend the clan meeting on time tomorrow morning."

Uchiha Huohe, who was already accustomed to Uchiha Gin's eccentric personality and his hot and cold attitude, shook his head, explained the purpose of the trip, then bowed and turned to leave.

"Hey~, how about staying for a quick meal?"

Seeing that Uchiha Fire Core had walked more than ten meters, Uchiha Gin finally woke up from his dream and said politely,
"Okay! I haven't eaten yet."

"Clang!"

"."

Uchiha Gin quickly slammed the door to thank the visitor and stroked his chin thoughtfully. It had been many years since the clan meeting was held, and he thought this tradition had been abolished.

"I don't know what my eldest cousin wants to do."

Generally speaking, only the clan leader can initiate the Uchiha clan meeting. Over the years, Uchiha Madara has always focused his work on Konoha, and has handed over all clan affairs to his younger cousin Izuna, so the last clan meeting was before Konoha was founded.

"What's wrong? Are you selling deodorant again?"

Senju Itama, who was cooking, stuck his head out of the kitchen and asked with a puzzled look on his face,

"No, the tribe notified me that there will be a tribe meeting tomorrow."

Lazily returning to the sofa, Uchiha Gin, who was lying flat on his back, answered truthfully,

"Ah! Then what are you going to wear? You've gotten too fat and your previous clothes don't fit into them anymore!"

Upon hearing that a clan meeting was going to be held, Senju Itama came out in surprise, looked Uchiha Gin up and down, and stated a cruel reality with a somewhat embarrassed tone.

"I told you not to wash it. You've only worn it twice, and now it's shrunk and can't fit you anymore. What do you think I should do?"

Uchiha Gin, whose sore spot was touched, immediately turned around and blamed others, refusing to admit that his obesity was caused by excessive sugar intake.

"Humph! You are not allowed to eat today. You can still put it on if you are hungry."

Senju Itama ignored this groundless accusation, snorted coldly, and deprived Uchiha Gin of the right to eat today.

"Born~ Born~"

The next day

"Gulu~Gulu~"

Uchiha Gin, who was forced into the classic skin of Konoha by Senju Itama, walked dejectedly on the streets of Konoha, stroking his hungry stomach.
"I've really been in trouble~"

Along the way, Uchiha Gin saw many clansmen who were dressed the same as himself. Everyone had excitement on their faces, and they seemed to be looking forward to the clan meeting that had not been held for a long time.

"Why do you think the chief wants to hold a clan meeting?"

"There's no need to guess. The date of the Hokage's inauguration will definitely be revealed to everyone so that we can prepare in advance~"

"I think so too. The clan leader works diligently and is the only candidate for the second generation Hokage."

"Haha, we Uchiha can finally stand up straight in Konoha. It's time for those arrogant Senju to bow down to us!"

Hearing the passionate discussions of his clansmen, Uchiha Gin frowned slightly. It was only the second year of Konoha, and Hashirama's career was at its peak. It might not be realistic for him to abdicate now.

If another ten or eight years pass, the eldest cousin will definitely be able to take over from him and become the legitimate second generation, and Hashirama can retire to the second line with peace of mind, take up an idle position such as honorary principal, hug his grandchildren, raise dogs, and enjoy family happiness.

"Huh~ Are you planning a coup?"

Uchiha Gin felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through his mind.

You know, every Uchiha who can open the Sharingan is more or less paranoid and extreme, not to mention the Mangekyō.

Could it be that the cousin was resentful of White Hair's workplace bullying, and over time, his mentality changed drastically, and he was ready to skip the long wait and take the position of Hokage by force?

"That's not right. My eldest cousin can't beat Hashirama in prison. Isn't this a fuss?"

But Uchiha Gin quickly put this idea aside. Although Uchiha Madara was his cousin, he had to admit that his cousin was indeed no match for Hashirama Senju. Even with the Nine-Tails, he could not defeat the cheating Hashirama.

etc.
Kyuubi! ! !

"Brother Yin, this way!"

Just as Uchiha Gin's mind was running wild, a familiar voice sounded not far away. After looking up, he saw several acquaintances waving enthusiastically in front of the Uchiha clan's shrine. The one who spoke was Uchiha Jiro who had joined the security team.

"Sasipuri~"

There was no point in thinking more, so he decided to wait until the meeting to see what was going on. So Uchiha Gin gave up thinking and greeted a few people.

"Brother Yin, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Erlang's prison is a secret and cannot be disclosed."

The honest and simple Minion Erlang has lost his previous impetuousness. Now in his thirties, he has become more calm and sophisticated. However, the subtle vulgarity in the corners of his eyes reveals the truth that he is still a glue enthusiast.

Don't forget your original intention, it's commendable~
"Master Yin, do you know the purpose of today's clan meeting?"

"How can we, the idlers, know something that even Great Elder Lu Cha doesn't know~"

The middle-aged man who was asking the questions was none other than Uchiha Lucha, who was brought up by Uchiha Gin. This jailer, who had been his tool for more than a decade, was finally successfully promoted to the grand elder not long ago. He was a figure second only to two people in the clan and above ten thousand people.

"Master Yin, what's the difference between an elder and an elder? You are embarrassing me."

Uchiha Lucha touched his bald head which had become Mediterranean due to working day and night, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The Mediterranean elder is very majestic!

"Hey~ Isn't this Xiao Shanna? Stop having a stern face and smile for your uncle~"

Looking past Uchiha Lucha, Uchiha Gin set his sights on the guy dodging behind the two of them. Looking at Uchiha Setsuna with a stiff face, he raised his eyebrows teasingly and greeted him.
"Humph!"

Even though he was an adult, upon seeing Uchiha Gin's devilish face, Uchiha Setsuna, who was known for his coldness and arrogance, subconsciously clamped his legs together and turned away his sinister eyes so as not to meet his gaze.

It's impolite. You will definitely go to jail in the future.

"Cousin! Why are you still outside? Come in quickly, the meeting will start soon~"

Before he had time to exchange a few more words with the others, Uchiha Izuna walked out, and after seeing Uchiha Gin, he hurried forward and pulled him in.

"Hou Mi, see you later~"

There was no choice, Uchiha Gin had to wave goodbye to the few people and followed Uchiha Izuna into the inner hall of the shrine.

On the way, Uchiha Gin noticed that his cousin looked a little strange, as if he was worried about something, so he asked,
"Little cousin, what's wrong with my older cousin?"

Only Uchiha Madara could make him show such an expression.

"Ah~ It's hard to put it into words."

Uchiha Izuna, who was walking in front, sighed when he heard this, turned his head to look at Uchiha Gin, and said,

"It's all your fault, cousin, because you spoiled him too much. That's why he did whatever he wanted."

Ha! Why do you pass the pot to yourself right away?

"What happened?"

Uchiha Gin already had a bad feeling. Could it be that this kid Uchiha Madara was trying to make a big news?
"Brother him"

"Cousin! You are finally here. Sit behind me and give me some courage~"

Before Uchiha Izuna could finish, Uchiha Madara's joyful voice rang in their ears. The eldest cousin, wearing a brand new high-collared robe, walked out of the inner hall. After seeing Uchiha Gin, he immediately came over.
"Is it inappropriate for me to sit behind you?" In fact, there was another reason why Uchiha Madara was reluctant to start the clan meeting. Uchiha Tajima, who previously sat behind him, passed away. Feeling empty behind him, he was no longer the passionate orator he used to be.

"My elder brother is like a father. I can only feel at ease when you are behind me."

In Uchiha Madara's mind, there are only two people he can trust with his back, one is his younger brother Izuna, and the other is his eldest cousin Uchiha Gin.

"Ok."

Since his eldest cousin said so, it would seem a bit awkward for Uchiha Gin to refuse again, so he nodded and agreed to it without any pretense.

"Izuna, where is the manuscript I asked you to prepare before?"

After arranging Uchiha Gin, Uchiha Madara turned around and asked Uchiha Izuna, who looked a little gloomy.

"Brother, have you really thought it through? This is no joke!"

Uchiha Izuna, who always obeyed Uchiha Madara's orders, unexpectedly questioned his elder brother.

"Just let me be willful for once, Izuna."

Faced with his brother's questioning, Uchiha Madara did not give a direct answer. With a hint of guilt on his face, he shook his head gently.

"No! How could I possibly write a speech like that? As the candidate for Hokage, the head of the Uchiha clan deserted his post? You are a traitor to the village!"

Uchiha Izuna's face turned cold, and he said in a voice that was almost a roar,

"what?"

Uchiha Gin, who was eating melon, was so frightened when he heard his younger cousin's words that he dropped the melon seeds all over the floor. Looking at his older cousin with a bitter look on his face, he raised his hand tremblingly.

"Did I hear you correctly? Cousin, are you planning to defect?"

How did we get back to the original plot after so many twists and turns? Cousin, I have paved the way for you. If you complete it safely, you will definitely be successful. Why can't you decide to betray the village?

Did you awaken some defection system without telling me?
"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. I'm just going to be out of the village for a while, maybe a few days or a few months."

"Leave the village? Do you know what your current status is?"

As a legitimate candidate for Hokage, if he were missing even for one day, he might be labeled a traitor by some white-haired guy, not to mention that the date was unknown, which would be used by Tobirama Senju to make a big fuss about.

"I know, but I want to win for once."

Uchiha Madara, who knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded with a gloomy face. He was now being followed by Senju Tobirama every day at work. If he went to the toilet for more than five minutes, he would come back and knock on the door to urge him, not to mention if he suddenly disappeared for several days.

"You, do you think a temporary victory or defeat is so important? Whoever laughs last wins!"

Faced with the stubborn Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Gin was almost angry to death by him. He deliberately helped him remove the biggest stumbling block on the road to becoming Hokage.

Now look what happens. He doesn't cherish the fruits of victory that are right in front of him, and insists on jumping up to pick them. By the time the time comes, you will be doomed to failure, losing both your human rights and your money. I wonder who you will find to cry.

"I understand the truth, but I just want to win once with my own strength!"

The paranoid character of the Uchiha clan was fully revealed at this moment. No matter how much Uchiha Gin said, he was stubborn and determined to defeat Hashirama Senju to prove himself. Even the ten tailed beasts could not pull him back.

"Then you can report to the prison guards~"

"I just wanted to give him a surprise!"

Didn’t Uchiha Gin say before that he wanted to give Hasi Lama a surprise, so Uchiha Madara didn’t want to let Senju Hashirama know that the reason he left was to catch the Nine-Tails and bring it back to Konoha to protect the house.

"But if you do this, you might miss out on the position of Hokage."

"As long as I defeat Hasi La Ma, the position of Hokage will still be mine!"

Uchiha Madara clenched his fists with full confidence, looking determined to win.

"But."

"Master Patriarch! It's time for a meeting~"

Just as Uchiha Gin was organizing his words and preparing to appeal to his emotions and reason, a member of the Uchiha clan knocked on the door of the inner hall and spoke respectfully.

"I see."

Uchiha Madara replied in a deep voice, turned to look at his brothers, and walked out without looking back.

"Cousin! Think of a solution!"

Uchiha Izuna was anxious. If Uchiha Madara really left his post without permission, he would definitely be labeled a traitor by his mortal enemy.

"Don't worry."

With his brows furrowed tightly, Uchiha Gin reluctantly comforted his little cousin.

The Hokage candidate is a very sensitive position, equivalent to the crown prince in ancient times. He does not have much real power and has to be careful in everything for fear of being caught.

"Oh, forget it. Let's go to the meeting first and see what my cousin has to say."

Inside the Shrine

The Uchiha clan members, dressed in uniform, sat cross-legged, waiting for the meeting to start with serious expressions. As Uchiha Madara pushed the door open, everyone's face showed fanatical admiration.

Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Izuna followed closely behind. Uchiha Madara glanced at the two of them without making any extra expression and sat down next to the enshrined stone tablet.

"Let's go, don't refute him."

Uchiha Gin and Uchiha Izuna looked at each other, and he walked over first. In the surprised eyes of his clansmen, he sat behind Uchiha Madara, while his little cousin sat beside him.

"Do you know why I suddenly convened a clan meeting today?"

Feeling the burning gazes of his clansmen, Uchiha Madara felt a little heavy in his heart, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth turned into a rhetorical question.

"The clan leader must be about to take over the position of Hokage, and he wants to tell everyone the good news in advance!"

An older tribesman raised his hand and said excitedly,
"That's right!"

"Long live the clan leader! Long live Uchiha!"

This answer instantly ignited the entire meeting. Many clansmen who had followed Uchiha Madara in battle for many years raised their hands, looked fanatical, and shouted long live the king.

Seeing this scene, Uchiha Madara's heart became even heavier. He also knew that these clansmen who had followed him for many years were all longing to see a Hokage from the Uchiha clan emerge in Konoha in their lifetime.

However, because he was defeated repeatedly by Hasila Ma, he lost the position of the Shodaime, making these tribesmen unable to raise their heads in front of the Senju clan.

"Master clan leader, just tell us a date, and then we will go to the Hokage Rock to perform fireworks for the whole village, to let them know who is the most gorgeous clan in Konoha. Those country bumpkins can't catch up with our art even if they flatter their horses."

The tribesmen in the audience have already started discussing the performance items for the fireworks display with great interest.
"My Phoenix Fire Technique is so magnificent that it has been recognized by the old clan leader. Let me give you a good example when the time comes!"

A white-haired old man in his twilight years stood up tremblingly, opened his toothless mouth, and introduced himself with full energy.

"I have perfected my Explosive Fire Dance. I will definitely surprise everyone when the time comes!"

"My Fireball"

"Go away. Why is Fireball joining in the fun?"

For a moment, the scene became more heated than before, which made Uchiha Madara, who was about to tell the news of his departure from the village, a little embarrassed to speak. He then set his eyes on Izuna beside him, hoping that he would help him.

"Humph~"

Uchiha Izuna ignored his elder brother. He wanted to see whether Uchiha Madara could bear to pour cold water on such an enthusiastic clan member.

"Big cousin"

Uchiha Madara, who failed to seek help, had to turn his gaze to Uchiha Gin behind him. The pleading look in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.
"Forget it, just say what you want to say."

If Uchiha Madara keeps this energy in his heart with no place to vent it, he will sooner or later get sick. It is better to let him vent it, so that when he really leaves, he will not have too much burden.

I have to clean up my cousin's ass again. I was born to be a hard worker.
"Quiet!"

After hearing what Uchiha Gin said, Uchiha Madara seemed to have taken a reassurance pill in his heart. He immediately put on a serious expression and said loudly to the messy venue,

The meeting place, which was bustling just now, suddenly fell silent, and all the clan members were looking forward to hearing what Uchiha Madara was going to announce.

"I will definitely get the position of Hokage, but how can we, the Uchiha clan, accept charity?"

"Master Patriarch, what do you mean by this?"

The tribesmen who were so excited just now suddenly became suspicious. They looked at Uchiha Madara with a dignified expression and asked cautiously,
"I plan to leave Konoha for a while to find new power."

Without hiding anything, Uchiha Madara made his thoughts public, which in turn stunned all the clan members present.

"Snapped!"

Uchiha Izuna, who was beside him, slapped his forehead helplessly. He didn't expect that his elder brother was so stubborn that he could cruelly announce the news of his departure in front of the clan members who were full of expectations.

"what?"

"The clan leader is leaving Konoha?"

"You can just wait, why are you leaving?"

"Is Brother Qianshou trying to make things difficult for you? If so, please blink!"

After a brief silence, there was an overwhelming barrage of questioning from the clansmen. Uchiha Madara silently closed his eyes and did not answer.

"Master clan leader, are you going to give up the position of Hokage candidate?"

A clan member stood up, his tone filled with deep disappointment. In his opinion, leaving Konoha was equivalent to giving up the position of Hokage candidate.

"That's right. My goal has never been a small substitute position."

Slowly opening his eyes, Uchiha Madara's eyes were stained with scarlet at some point, he looked coldly at the tribesmen below the stage, and said,

"I'm not asking for your consent, I'm just notifying you." (End of this chapter)
