Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die.

Chapter 426: Uchiha Madara's Search for Relatives (Part )

Watching Orochimaru leave, Uchiha Ci stood there for a long time.

When his strength becomes so strong that the entire ninja world falls silent, no one dares to provoke him anymore. Maybe no one will have the courage to come to him in the future.

Finally, I have to follow my own will and carry out the justice of the so-called "heaven-falling tough guy".

The first step of the plan is
There was a deviation.

Uchiha Ci's rationality told him that since it was about Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan, no information in the entire assassination plan could be leaked.

Even though he didn't leak the information, but was vaguely guessed by Orochimaru, he didn't even know what he would do next.

He should have killed Orochimaru here!
At this time, he was the only one who was planted with the Heavenly Curse Seal by Orochimaru, which could complete the resurrection of the soul, and that curse seal had been erased in the battle of Hell Valley.

And Yingdu, whose power was roughly equal to that of Orochimaru plus, was completely killed by himself.
At this moment, Orochimaru had no time, no ability, no skills to stay alive, and no chance of escaping from him.

But
This kind of thing of killing the wrong person without letting him go happened to his second best teacher in the whole ninja world.
Uchiha Ci hesitated all night, but ultimately couldn't do it.

#
July 47, 7th year of Konoha, early morning.

this day,
Far away in the Kingdom of Wind, Uchiha Ci parted ways with his teacher Orochimaru.

Simultaneously,

Just last night, the information that Uchiha Ci, the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan and a strong contender for the position of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, single-handedly destroyed the Kingdom of Loulan spread like wildfire and spread to all parts of the ninja world at an extremely unusual speed.

On the second day after receiving the news, Konoha Village's ally, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa of the Sand Village, rushed straight from Loulan to Konoha without stopping for almost the entire night.

then,

Submitted a [Letter of Surrender] to the Uchiha clan (not Konoha).

It cannot be said that the specifications and style are completely different from the one sent by the Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village some time ago, but they are exactly the same.

Then, Konoha Village became lively.

In order to welcome the Fourth Kazekage to visit Konoha for study, Konoha had no choice but to grit its teeth and make great efforts. It hung a banner at the gate of Konoha, arranged flower baskets, and invited a violinist from the village to play the song "Konoha's Peace" in a park not far from the village gate to show Konoha's love for peace. (The park where Sasuke knocked Sakura unconscious before she defected)

Even though the person involved, Rasa, had ignored the Konoha high-level officials and went directly to the Uchiha clan's territory as a guest.

This face-saving project ended up in vain.

But
This ceremony welcomed another unexpected guest.

now,

An old man with long gray hair, an aged face, wearing a dark blue gown, holding a death scythe in both hands, and with extremely cold eyes,

Slowly walked to the gate of Konoha Village,

"Haha~"

"This place is still the same as it was forty years ago. Nothing has changed."

The old man raised his head slightly, looked at the gate of Konoha, then walked past the gate, his eyes crossed the long street, and looked at the huge yellow-brown shadow rock with three human figures carved on it.

It was not until he saw the statue of the first Hokage, the still young but long-lost friend and nemesis, the Senju Hashirama, on the Shadow Rock that a ripple appeared in the old man's cold and indifferent eyes.
I couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, and also a sense of comfort that belongs to the final winner.

The old man murmured,
"Hashi hot mom."

however,
At this moment, a very unpleasant shout came from the gate in the distance.
"Hey, old man, you are not allowed to bring sharp weapons into Konoha Village!"

At a young age, Kamijutsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu, who had saved themselves decades of detours and came to Konoha Gate Security Team for part-time internship, walked side by side.
The former looked at the huge Grim Reaper scythe that the old man was using as a crutch, pointed at it, and reminded him, "Even if it's used as a crutch and a farm tool to make a living, it's easy to scare other people if you carry it on the street."

"Also, please follow me here to register your name when entering the village."

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, old man, what's your name?"

"You are so old, why don't I help you fill it out~"

The old man was silent for a moment.
I don't know if it was because he felt speechless, or because he felt detached from the passing of time as no one in this village remembered his face anymore.

After a long silence, he opened his eyes and said his name:

"spot,"

"Uchiha Madara!"

however,
When those scarlet eyes with three black magatamas circling around them opened,

However, no one around could remember this name anymore.

With Konoha's main gate as the center, everyone within a 600-meter radius who could be seen fell asleep for half a minute.

Until Uchiha Madara slowly stepped into Konoha Village and his back disappeared at the end of the street,

Just like puppets, being gently pulled by the practitioner's fingers, everyone present was suddenly awakened, but they could not remember a thing. They only felt themselves in a trance for a moment, and then they turned the page and returned to their daily routine.

#
Uchiha Ci couldn't have expected this no matter how hard he tried.
He considered Uchiha Madara to be an assassination target, who was too old and frail to roam around the world anymore.
Actually came to Konoha Village.

and,

The Uchiha clan is about to face the biggest crisis since its founding.

Holding the death scythe,

Uchiha Madara walked through the streets of Konoha with an expressionless face.

He walked through the gate of Konoha, went straight to the park in front of the village, and passed through the landmark buildings that he, Uchiha Madara, personally participated in designing and planning when the village was first built. He clearly remembered the locations of the buildings: the reservoir, the Konoha Theater, an unnamed street that was different from forty years ago and had only recently become prosperous, the newly opened Ichiraku Ramen restaurant on this street, the Konoha Tea Street near the Hokage Building, the flower shop of the Yamanaka clan (the place where old Madara was sad), and the street where he lived.
The violinist, who was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with being drafted into the army on a temporary mission, played the song "Peace of Konoha" more and more urgently!

Keep going south.
finally,
The old man stood in front of the Uchiha clan's territory on the south side of Konoha, on the side of the Minamiga River.

The purpose of this elderly man who is over 80 years old is also very clear -

He came here to look for his relatives, holding the Grim Reaper's scythe.

"Uchiha Ci, with your half-baked appearance now, you can't inherit my Moon Eye Project."

Recalling what he saw when he watched the last war in the Land of Lightning, when Uchiha opened his eyes,
Uchiha Madara suddenly raised his head and looked coldly at this huge clan land.
"Since the opportunity to open my eyes is revenge—"

"Then let me help you."

"See the true darkness, and deeply understand the endless chain of hatred that has spread for thousands of years in this hopeless world!"

"You can just hate me! Hate me! And then live on in your ugly state."

"Until you get the same eyes as mine and come before me."

"At that time,"

"I will make you sincerely approve of this Moon Eye Project that will give the whole world a new life."
