Konoha: I, Uchiha, just want to die

Ever since Uchiha resigned from the village, information about his movements had been spread by the Sunagakure spies in Konoha.

Then Chiyo, the elder of Sunagakure Village, sneaked into the underground gold exchange and made his information public, attracting the attention of Kumogakure and various bounty hunters.

So much so that this incident occurred where Kumogakure and the Gold Exchange teamed up to attack Uchiha Ci.

Before this, everything was sold in the underground black markets between countries, and even blood inheritance limits were bargaining chips that could be used for trading.

But among them, no one dared to openly trade with Sharingan.

Now, even the young patriarch of his family has a bounty on his head, and he was actually attacked by an operation organized by the Gold Exchange.

Dying on the battlefield at the hands of other ninjas, compared to dying in an operation planned for gold,

These are completely different things!

That's why the Uchiha clan became so furious after learning about this.

Under the unprecedented unified opinion of Uchiha Setsuna and Uchiha Fugaku, elite ninjas from the village, Hell Valley, and Yuno Country were urgently mobilized to rush to Uchiha's rescue.

In addition, the family ninjas were sent to bloodbath the money exchange offices of the surrounding small countries, and all the people involved in the matter were implicated.

"Ci, remember, this is a necessary means!"

Seiichiro recounted the entire incident and solemnly reminded the Uchiha around him:

"The Uchiha clan is different from Hinata. We do not have the constraints of a 'caged bird' and the hierarchy of clan divisions. We are united by blood relationships. Every member of the clan is a 'family' in a substantial sense."

"The strong protect the weak. Clan members who can open the Sharingan must shoulder the responsibility of protecting members who do not have the Sharingan."

"This blood relationship and inheritance are important things that connect us in this absurd and dark world. They are the bottom line that must not be touched."

"Everyone who touches this bottom line will be killed even if their family is destroyed!"

"Leave no one behind!"

Uchiha Seiichiro stared at Uchiha Ci beside him and said in a heavy tone,

"This is no joke!"

Following the team walking in the wilderness of Yuno Country, lying on the cattle cart, Uchiha nodded and responded in the same solemn tone:

"I remembered."

Seiichiro smiled, raised his head, looked forward, feeling a little emotional.

In the past, when he had a negative attitude towards the ninja world and participated in such an action, he would have only lamented whether the clan leader was too sensitive, and maybe he would have felt a little jealous.

Why was he sent to a battlefield where he was almost certain to die, and the clan just watched with cold eyes?

And after Uchiha Ci was targeted, almost the whole clan went out to kill a river of blood among the countries?

For a creature like a ninja, where does death not mean death?

What special meaning can death have?

but now,

As someone who has been saved, as someone who has been ‘loved’,

Taking the initiative to lead the team to carry out such an action, he gradually understood the meaning of the existence of the so-called "clan", and he did not hesitate to share this understanding with Uchiha Ci.

Of course, Seiichiro felt that he might have said too much.

After all, based on what he knew about Uchiha Ci's character and actual actions, this kid would only do more than he did.

"Hell Valley is ahead, and it's almost time to say goodbye."

"I will continue to execute the killing order and lead a team to hunt down several high-level officials of the money exchange who have fled to a small country."

Seiichiro paused and glanced at the elder Uchiha Setsuna, who was sitting cross-legged on the carriage at the front of the team, placing his sword on his legs and closing his eyes to rest.

"Speaking of which, have you thought about how to tell the Great Elder?"

Hearing Seiichiro's words, Uchiha suddenly made a bitter face,

"How should I say this?"

Last time Uchiha Setsuna asked him to roll over to meet him, but his body collapsed to the limit and he fell over and fainted, just avoiding that meeting.

It wasn't until not long ago that he woke up and learned the whole story from Seiichiro.

After knowing everything, not only did my heart not relax, but it became even heavier.

And now.

He didn't even think about how to face this old man!

When he was at his weakest, it was this old man who sacrificed half his life to save him from certain death.

After that, he was just like the old man in a fantasy novel, giving him all kinds of things as if they were free of charge.

Equipment, forbidden arts, swordsmanship, money, and even the position of clan leader,

Especially the Uchiha-style: Halo Dance, and the Uchiha-style: Silk Shuriken Technique passed down from this old man. These two techniques constitute his core ability in fighting so far.

Let him go from having nothing to defeating countless powerful enemies. It can be said that from the beginning, he was stamped with the steel mark of Uchiha. This is also the source of all stories.

"The great elder's words are indeed a bit hurtful." Seiichiro smiled bitterly and comforted,

"But he won't eat you. Some things have to be faced."

Uchiha raised his head and was silent for a moment,

Looking up at the flowing clouds in the sky, watching the octagonal sunlight penetrate the clouds and fall on my chest,

It burns onto the skin, one by one with the beating of the heart.

"Yeah, you always have to face it."

Seiichiro nodded, and immediately grabbed Uchiha Ci's arm on the cart and held him behind his back.

"Then it's not too late, let's face it now!"

Uchiha's expression was stunned, and he immediately started struggling.

"Hey, wait!"

"No, what are you doing? Let me down!"

But how could his now drained body compare to Seiichiro who was already a Jonin?

Seiichiro chuckled, and trotted forward with Uchiha Ci on his shoulders.

"Do you think I have nothing to do and just wait for your kid to wake up?"

"Forgive me, Ci, this is all the great elder's task!"

boom!

As the words fell, Uchiha suddenly flew up in a beautiful arc and was thrown into the carriage with a tarpaulin on top.

His face hit the wooden board, knocked over two earthen jars containing corn, and hit something solid head on.

"Bah!"

Shaking his head, he got up and shook off the corn that had been knocked over on his forehead.

Only then did Uchiha realize that what he bumped into was Kakuzu, whose mask was torn off, his mouth was wrapped with linen cloth, and he was tied up with five flowers. His body was engraved with sealing techniques that were so simple that they could be broken with a struggle, and he was tied up with five flowers.

"Well--!"

When Kakuzu saw him, he immediately glared at him, looking like he wanted to scold his mother.

His intense emotions once caused the chakra in Uchiha's body to surge.

"Oh~" Uchiha Ci couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking at the other party's posture, he wanted to laugh a little.

Uchiha is not good at sealing techniques. The sealing technique on Kakuzu is like a decoration. He can break free at any time.

What really made this guy calm down was the elite Uchiha clan surrounding the carriage.

Although his masks can help him dispel illusions, they are still not enough in front of the multiple Sharingan.

As long as he has a different intention, he will immediately be hypnotized by various Sharingan Eye Techniques.

In addition, Setsuna Uchiha, the strongest here, is personally guarding it.

When he thought of this, Uchiha Ci's smile suddenly froze,

Immediately, I heard a calm and ethereal old voice,

"Ci,"

"You came."

Uchiha Ci raised his head and saw Uchiha Setsuna sitting cross-legged in front of the carriage, turning his head and staring at him with his single eye.

"What, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

"No. No." Uchiha suddenly laughed dryly, scratched his head, and slowly rubbed his feet on the floor.

When sitting next to Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Setsuna realized that the old man actually had two eyes open.

However, the left eye is still normal, and the pupil of the right eye has turned pale white.

This is the trace left by Izanagi.

"Then let's talk about you first."

Uchiha frowned for a moment, glanced over, and said with great disgust:

"What's going on with your swordsmanship?"

Hearing this question, Uchiha Ci perked up and immediately explained:

"Are you talking about the swordsmanship I developed? That's right, I incorporated the wind attribute ninjutsu, fire escape and chakra mode, and..."

Uchiha raised his hand in an instant, frowned and interrupted,

"Who told you to say this?"

"What I'm asking is, who taught you how to use this sword?"

The old man glanced at Uchiha Ci, who had a frozen smile on his face, with a look of disgust, and commented without mercy:

"Ugly! Stiff! Disgusting!"

"Not Uchiha at all, any other dog would look better than you!"

"Do you know what skills are? Do you know what swordsmanship is? If you don't lay a solid foundation, victory or defeat will only be decided in an instant!"

"You need special training! Special training!"

The little old man didn't show mercy at all and just scolded him:

"Also, thanks to Shinichi's letter, I already know that you skipped work willfully and slacked off in your training in the Land of Rain!"

"This time, I will watch you personally,"

"You must go through hellish special training!!"
