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

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

Frustrated, Uchiha Izuna decided to go find the only relative he could talk to.
Small shop at the village entrance

"Cousin, why aren't you worried at all? Didn't you say you wanted to persuade me not to leave? How come you're still here so leisurely eating shaved ice?"

Uchiha Gin, who was enjoying this month's quota of shaved ice, ignored his cousin's questioning and focused on the shaved ice filled with ingredients.

"Long live sugar~"

After licking the bottom of the shaved ice bowl clean, Uchiha Gin smacked his lips comfortably, casually pulled out a tissue beside him, wiped the sticky jam from the corner of his mouth, raised his eyelids and looked at Uchiha Izuna who looked anxious in front of him, and shook his head gently.
"Instead of dwelling on this issue, you should consider when to take over the position of clan leader."

"Huh? Now is not the time to talk about this."

"You really have the ambition to usurp the throne, I'll make a note of this for you~"

Uchiha Gin smiled teasingly, took out a small notebook, and began to record.
On Xth day of Xth month of the second year of Konoha, my little cousin attempted to rebel!
"Cousin! Stop making a fuss and let's talk business now. I have locked myself 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 has expired, and his eldest cousin will probably leave tonight.

"Izuna, be positive about everything. Maybe your cousin just went out to collect some scenery and will come back after relaxing."

"I still don't understand big brother. He suddenly said he wanted to leave. He must have something on his mind. It must be because of that damn white-haired guy. He is the culprit who forced big brother to leave Konoha!"

Uchiha Izuna clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and he pointed out the murderer with gritted teeth.

I guessed it right!
"No! I'm going to find my brother again and make him stay!"

After that, he left in a hurry.

"Oh~ It's so hard for me."

"Mr. Gin, is the clan leader really going to leave? He's almost going to become Hokage."

Uchiha Jiji, who was wearing an apron, came over from the bar and took away the bowl of shaved ice 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 I'll definitely be back."

"If I leave for too long, can I still be the Hokage when I come back?"

The girl glanced obliquely at the shaved ice spoon stained with Uchiha Gin's saliva, and then frowned slightly. Uchiha Madara's dream is to become Hokage, but is someone who leaves the village without permission still qualified to be the Hokage?

"Why not? Some people cheat and gamble outside, but they still come back to take power in the end."

"what?"

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 them could shake his inner thoughts.

"time to go."

Uchiha Madara stood up, stuffed the scroll containing the fan and armor into his bag, put on his small backpack and was ready to set off.

Uchiha Madara was a little surprised when he pushed open the shrine door. He didn't expect that there was a familiar figure kneeling on the ground outside the door.

Uchiha Izuna, who was a little confused, woke up instantly when he heard the door open. He looked up at Uchiha Madara who was carrying his bag and shouted excitedly: "Brother! Don't do it."

Without choosing to waste any more words with his younger brother, the pupils of Uchiha Madara's eyes instantly changed into enchanting patterns. Seeing this scene, Izuna was shocked and subconsciously opened his Mangekyo, and the two brothers looked at each other.

"Izuna, forgive me this time."

Ordinary Mangekyō was no match for the Eternal Eye. Uchiha Madara simply used his pupil power to suppress it and instantly killed Uchiha Izuna who was caught off guard. Looking at his brother who was sleeping soundly, he sighed and instantly disappeared in the Uchiha clan's territory.

As it was already midnight, the streets were already deserted. Walking alone in the cold wind, Uchiha Madara felt mixed emotions.

Suddenly, Uchiha Madara discovered two figures standing not far ahead, as if waiting for him. Sensing a familiar breath, Uchiha Madara did not take a detour but walked towards them.

"Madala, have you made up your mind?"

The Senju brothers, dressed in plain clothes, had been waiting here for a long time. Senju Hashirama looked reluctant as he watched Uchiha Madara packing his bags and about to sail away. He still asked an unnecessary question,
Uchiha Madara, who was originally somewhat sad, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this.
I have already packed my luggage, and you still ask, am I blind at such a young age?

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

Uchiha Madara, full of confidence, straightened his back, looked into the dark eyes of Senju Hashirama, and assured him confidently,
"When you are out in the world, don't forget your identity as a Konoha ninja!"

Senju Tobirama, who was standing next to Senju Hashirama, looked at Uchiha Madara who was wearing a high-collared robe, and did not find any trace of Konoha on him, so he spoke out a reminder.

In addition to investigating the Tailed Beast Riders, the most important thing for Uchiha Madara's mission is to crack down on the restless Four Nations. If the other party makes any unusual moves, he must use Konoha's identity to secretly crack down on them, so that the Four Nations will stop in time and nip the factors of disharmony in the bud.

"I brought this."

Hearing the hidden meaning behind Senju Tobirama's words, Uchiha Madara took out a brand new Konoha forehead protector from the bag on his back and waved it in front of Senju Tobirama.

"Don't be stingy when it's time to show off your muscles. Let them know how big the gap is between you and us in Konoha."

It was rare for him to look at Uchiha Madara differently, and Senju Tobirama nodded with satisfaction.

"Use your teaching?"

"Remember to report the progress of the mission regularly and send back any intelligence you have."

Senju Tobirama has always been clear about the distinction between public and private affairs. Uchiha Madara's mission is extremely important, and he needs to keep track of his movements at all times.

"I will give the information to Ninja Cat, and Ninja Cat will pass it on to my cousin."

Previously, under the leadership of Uchiha Gin, the Uchiha clan and the Ninja Clan formed an equal and mutual assistance contract, whereby the Ninja Clan provided assistance to members of the Uchiha clan for a fee.

"Madala, take care on your journey, don't play around, and come back soon."

Not knowing how long Uchiha Madara would be away on this mission, Hashirama Senju, feeling empty inside, reluctantly said goodbye to him.

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

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

"Since this is a secret mission, you cannot reveal your real name in the report. Have you thought of your code name?"

Looking at the man who was exchanging final greetings with his eldest brother, Senju Tobirama had a complicated expression on his face.
"How about Ninja Shura?"

After thinking for a while, Uchiha Madara said,
"That's not good, Madara. You sound like a villain."

Senju Hashirama was the first to deny it, saying that this code name sounded murderous and not pleasant at all.

"Then tell me."

"How about the Darkness of Ninja Realm?"

Hashirama Senju's idea is very simple. His nickname is the God of the Ninja World, and he named Uchiha Madara the Dark of the Ninja World. It sounds like a perfect CP.

Turn your back on the light and embrace the darkness.
As long as it’s not called a huge root.

"Okay, I should go now."

After the greetings were almost over, Uchiha Madara waved his hand with his back to Hashirama Senju, leaving the two of them with a dashing back, and slowly blended into the darkness.

After landing outside the gate of Konoha, Uchiha Madara turned his head and took a last look at the village built by him and Senju Hashirama. He clenched his fists and whispered:

"I will definitely come back!"

As he was speaking, he turned around and tried to leave, but a figure standing a few meters away startled the passionate Uchiha Madara.
Who is it that I didn’t even notice?

I saw that figure slowly walking out of the darkness, with a head of fluffy curly hair that was extremely conspicuous under the moonlight, and that pair of familiar dead fish eyes, which instantly made Uchiha Madara's heart drop.
"You're really going to fight to the bitter end. Are you leaving tonight? You glared at your little cousin and didn't even cover him with a blanket. What if he catches a cold?"

Looking at Uchiha Gin who had been waiting here for who knows how long, Uchiha Madara was deeply moved.
"Cousin, you don't have to persuade me anymore, I'm determined to leave!"

I didn't mean to persuade you, I just came here to see you off.

"My dear cousin, we are poor at home but rich on the road. As your cousin, there is nothing I can do to help you. Take these things with you. Don't treat yourself badly when you go out. Eat and drink as you like. Don't miss out on any of the things you should enjoy."

Uchiha Gin said this, pulling out a brand new storage scroll from the bag on his back and stuffing it into the other person's hand without further ado.

"Thank you, cousin!"

After some refusal, Uchiha Madara still accepted Uchiha Gin's scroll and put it at the bottom layer of the bag.

The things were sent out, and Uchiha Gin, who was about to bid farewell in tears, seemed to suddenly remember something. He took out a small notebook and looked through the previous records. After checking, he gave instructions to Uchiha Madara with a worried look on his face.
"By the way, if you meet anyone from the Iwagakure Village, teach them a lesson for me. During the previous Five Kage Summit, that old man Ishigawa did a lot of tricking me."

"I remember."

Uchiha Madara nodded seriously when he heard this. Since his eldest cousin had spoken, he must definitely give the guys from the Iwagakure Village an unforgettable memory.

The key items that needed to be delivered had been delivered, and the reports that needed to be made had been made. Uchiha Gin glanced at the full moon above his head and said goodbye to Uchiha Madara.

"I wish you good luck in martial arts~"

The news of Uchiha Madara's secret departure spread like wildfire a few days later. The villagers of Konoha Village were shocked but more confused.

You know, as the only two elders who have established Konoha, the Uchiha clan does not have a bad reputation in the village. And Uchiha Madara, as the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, is a well-deserved candidate for Hokage and will definitely inherit the position of Hokage in the future.

How could such a person leave the village without permission really puzzled everyone.

Just when everyone was waiting for the outcome of the Konoha high-level handling, they discovered that Senju Hashirama did not classify Uchiha Madara's absence as defection, but he also did not explain much and chose to deal with it coldly. This made people imagine that there was some kind of dirty political deal among the Konoha high-level officials.

In the Sarutobi residence, the ninja alliance, whose friendship is stronger than gold, secretly held a meeting.

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

Kenichi Shimura, who had been pushed to the throne of successor to the clan leader by his "uncle", spoke in a much more assertive tone than before. He crossed his hands under his chin, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Even Uchiha Madara, one of the elders, was forced away by the Senju brothers. How much room will be left for these small ninja clans? It seems that Konoha will become a situation where the Senju brothers dominate in the future.

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

Sarutobi Sasuke had a sullen face and his brain was working fast. He couldn't understand why Uchiha Madara suddenly left when the game was already halfway through with champagne.

"If it weren't for the pressure from the deputy clan leader Uchiha Izuna, they would have forced the Hokage to abdicate." Minako Yama, who had already gathered intelligence on the Uchiha clan, had a look of deep uneasiness in her eyes. If the Uchiha clan rioted, the entire Konoha would definitely suffer heavy losses, and the hard-earned peace would be broken.

"Let everyone in the family behave themselves and not make any mistakes at this critical moment."

Sarutobi Sasuke decided to stabilize the situation first, took a deep breath, and spoke to everyone for instructions.

"Yes."

Uchiha Ginka

Ever since the eldest cousin left, people from the Uchiha clan rarely come to visit. Even Jiro, who has always been cunning and cunning, has become conscientious. The workload of the great elder Uchiha Lucha has also increased exponentially.

It seemed that all the clan members became more taciturn overnight because of Uchiha Madara's departure.

"Curly Baboon, don't be too sad. Maybe your brother is just having a bad temper and is hiding out for a few days."

Uchiha Gin, who was lying on the sofa in a daze, suddenly heard Senju Itama's slightly cautious words and turned his head in confusion.
"Do I look sad?"

"You can't even drink your favorite strawberry milk. What else can you say except sadness?"

Senju Itama walked over with a cup of tea, placed the cup in front of Uchiha Gin, and held the tray in his arms, his clear big eyes filled with worry.

"Don't worry about it, strawberry milk is just out."

Uchiha Gin stood up speechlessly, and under the confused gaze of Senju Itama, he took out a 1L bottle of red unknown liquid that was emitting a chill, unscrewed the lid and took a big gulp.

"Hey man!"

╬д╬
"Hmph~ I'm so worried about you, what a waste of emotion!"

Uchiha Gin looked so happy that he made Senju Itama's eyes go black with anger. He turned around and walked away on the spot.

"Huh~ What are you guys arguing about in the middle of the day? Do you want to take a break?"

Perhaps because the two of them were talking too loudly, Uchiha Hikaru on the second floor pushed open the door sleepily, walked down in a thin nightgown, sat down next to Uchiha Gin, picked up the tea brewed by Senju Itama and took a sip.

"Uh? So sweet."

Disdainfully putting back the tea with three spoonfuls of sugar, the twin girls curled up their legs and leaned on Uchiha Gin's shoulders, and asked softly,

"Gin, do you need me to kill Brother Qianju?"

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

"puff!"

Uchiha Gin was shocked when he heard this, and he sprayed out the iced black tea in his mouth, wiped his mouth in embarrassment, and hugged Uchiha Guang who had a calm face, and said in a very serious tone,
"Let's just live our lives properly and not say such dangerous words, okay?"

"Then tonight"

"As long as you don't mess around, I'll do whatever you want."

The matter of Uchiha Madara's departure eventually calmed down under the passage of time. Occasionally, villagers would mention it, but it was just a story of the past that did not cause any ripples.

Under the leadership of Uchiha Izuna, the Uchiha clan developed relatively smoothly, but the clan members gradually became more restrained and less flamboyant than before.

Four Years of Konoha
Two years have passed since Uchiha Madara left. The usually deserted Uchiha clan now has a rare lively atmosphere. Red lanterns symbolizing joy are hung under the eaves of the clan leader's house, and rare smiles appear on their cold and handsome faces.

Uchiha Izuna, the acting clan leader, was wearing a pure black kimono and pacing nervously in the courtyard, rubbing his pale hands, his eyes fixed on the gate of the inner courtyard.
"Why hasn't my cousin come yet?"

Creak~
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
"Little cousin, I'm coming in!"

I saw a figure rushing in, it was Uchiha Gin in formal attire,
Two years have passed, and the years seem to have left no trace on him. However, Junlang still has a big smile on his lazy face. He carries two huge boxes in his hands, and with every step he takes, one can hear the clanging sound from inside.

"My cousin doesn't have anything good to give me as a gift, so use this money to buy a new house~"

"Huh~ You're finally here. Is there anything wrong with me?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin arrive in time, Uchiha Izuna finally put her heart at ease and showed him her outfit.

"Tsk~ I think this outfit is too plain. It's not as good as the groom's uniform I recommended to you before~"

After throwing two large boxes into the yard, Uchiha Gin clapped his hands and looked at his little cousin's traditional wedding dress with a little disdain, which did not feel festive at all.

"I can't help it. Mieko wants to wear the white wedding dress."

Speaking of Mieko, Uchiha Izuna, who is already in her thirties, showed a rare shyness on her face, and there was a deep tenderness in her black eyes.

"Hey~ How on earth did you, an old man like you, trick that young girl into getting your hands on me?"

Uchiha Gin was also very sad. He didn't expect that his little cousin could actually succeed in getting the upper hand over the younger one.

"I have to thank you, cousin."

The complacent Uchiha Izuna looked at the incredulous Uchiha Gin and thanked him with a smile.

"what?"

What does your flirting with girls have to do with me?
"Who told you to love lemons so much~"

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

"Okay, okay, let's go once you've packed up!"

Seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, Uchiha Gin urged,
"Um. Any news, big brother?"

Looking at the empty yard, Uchiha Izuna suddenly asked,

Uchiha Madara has been gone for more than two years, and has never had any contact with the Uchiha clan during this period, but today is his big day, and Uchiha Izuna still has some expectations in his heart.

"My eldest cousin. Unfortunately, at least not now."

Uchiha Gin sighed in his heart. It had been a month since the last time he contacted Uchiha Madara. In his letter, he said that he had arrived in the Land of Earth. The Iwagakure Village seemed a little restless recently, so he planned to go and give them a try.

In his reply, Uchiha Gin also mentioned Uchiha Izuna's wedding. I wonder if my cousin took it to heart.

"Hey, let's go."

A look of disappointment flashed across his face, and Uchiha Izuna let out a long sigh and put on a happy smile again.

Wedding scene
In addition to the Uchiha clan, there were many other ninja clan members who came to congratulate. The Ninja Alliance headed by Sarutobi and the Hyuga clan represented by Hyuga Tenyo all came to the scene.

"Hokage-sama is here too!"

Not only did someone shout, but everyone turned their eyes to Hashirama Senju who was in casual clothes and Tobirama Senju who had a gloomy face. The originally noisy scene instantly cooled down. There was a chill in the eyes of every Uchiha clan member, and the stiff atmosphere made it suffocating for those with weaker strength to breathe.

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

As if he was accustomed to such awkward silence, Hashirama Senju, holding a big red envelope in his hand, smiled brightly and took the opportunity to make fun of his younger brother.

"You're just being long-winded! I won't be as perverted as that guy and marry a girl half my age."

With his arms folded across his chest, Tobirama Senju turned his face away with a stagnant look, a hint of hidden envy flashing across his scarlet eyes.

Looking around at the Uchiha clan members who had unfriendly expressions, the Senju brothers felt mixed emotions.

"."

"squeak~"

Just when the atmosphere reached freezing point, Uchiha Gin appeared with the somewhat restrained Uchiha Izuna. He first waved to the Uchiha clan members who looked uneasy, and said, "It's a happy day, why are you looking so gloomy? Just smile!"

"What are you standing there for? Keep playing the music and dancing!"

Then he saw a group of familiar faces and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Thank you all for your support~"

"No, no, Mr. Yin's brother is getting married, why shouldn't we come?"

The Ninja Alliance headed by Sarutobi Sasuke came to congratulate with large and small bags, and their attitude was very proper at first glance.

"Yin Sang, these are some small gifts, please accept them."

Hinata Tianyao nodded to Uchiha Gin. Behind him followed a dozen servants, carrying several large boxes with exquisite appearances, which were obviously worth a lot of money.
You are worthy of being my good friend. I will give you a big gift in return when you get married.

"This is our Inuzuka."

"We are the oil girls."

"Kurama clan."

As the groom appeared, many young ninjas came forward to congratulate him, and the scene became lively again.

"Brother Yin, this is the share of money from Tobirama and I."

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

"Hashirama, you are thoughtful~"

"Alas, it's a pity that Mada La can't be there. It's such a pity!"

Looking at the lively scene at the wedding, Senju Hashirama sighed.

At his wedding, everyone was gathered together for the feast, but now even the previous table is not fully assembled.

"Who says it isn't?"

Life is unpredictable, and the big intestines are wrapped in the small intestines~ (End of this chapter)
