Chapter 13

"Do you care about this?" Madara pointed to the bandage on his face, "Don't worry. It will get better soon. Now, tell me about these days."
"Yes."
Huohe respectfully responded, suppressed all doubts, and told all the recent things.
"Do you think we should still rescue the Kingdom of Flame?"
"It's too late for this." Madara said indifferently, "If the family elders really think that there is a need for rescue, they will pull me away from Quanna's bed. But since no one came to call me— —Right now, they are probably considering an alliance with the Senju family."
Unexpectedly hearing some sarcasm in Madara's tone, Huohe was surprised: "Aren't you in favor of forming an alliance with the Senshou family?"
"At that time, it could still be called an alliance, but now it can only be called surrender. The best time has been missed-no, it never happened from the beginning. Would you like to see the Uchiha family let mermaid go?"
"Of course not, but..."
Fire Core was in a dilemma.The problem now is that no one will hire Uchiha in this area.
"I will discuss it with the elders in person. You can go back and rest."
After Fire Core saluted respectfully, when he was about to get up and leave, Madara called him.
"Are there any rumors in the village?"
"Eh?"
"When you saw my eyes, your heart beat too fast for a moment."
"...!"
Madara sat there.He still looked a bit haggard, but at that moment, Fire Core felt like a rabbit who had nowhere to escape from a beast.
"... Forget it, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you. Sooner or later, I can't hide these things."
Whispering meaningful words in a low voice, Madara waved Fire Core to leave.
Fire Core walked out of Uchiha's main house in a daze.The oncoming sunlight fell like a slap in the face.For a moment he didn't know what to say.
Is he suspicious of Madara-sama?
The possibility itself made Huo Core break out in a cold sweat.But those rumors—
None of those who took the eyes of their loved ones died well.God will not forgive such a thing...
His father's words rang in his ears for no reason.
"It's pointless to try to fix it now."
On the second day, Madara summoned all the elders to the main house, contrary to the previous situation of staying behind closed doors.
"The daimyo of the country of flames has always not trusted Uchiha enough. Now, I am afraid that the situation of the war will not allow us to intervene again. Then in the face of the current situation, what are your plans?"
The elders paused for a moment before someone spoke:
"Now we have no choice. Fortunately, Qianshou showed us the goodwill of forming an alliance..."
"Do you think it's okay to surrender to the enemy?" Another person immediately said angrily.
"Since it was Mori Senju's first opinion..."
"One moment and another moment. Accept the suggestion of alliance now, maybe Qianshou won't accept it instead."
"We'll have to talk about it before we know..."
Everyone discussed for a while, but there still seemed to be no conclusion.Only then did Madara speak.
"It's not like we have no way out. As long as we leave the clan land and go to those countries where the wars are not over, we won't have to worry about finding new employers."
This short sentence is like throwing a big stone in the water.The elders of the various families looked at each other, and it took a while before someone whispered: "Even if you go to another country,..."
"From the current point of view, it might not be a new opportunity..."
"Qian Shou's attitude is unclear..."
"It may not be without precedent..."
"Even though the Land of Fire has Senjujuma, other countries have no ninjas that can match..."
Just when everyone's discussion gradually turned towards Madara's speech, someone in the corner laughed.
"The patriarch said so, but he is very confident in his eyes?"
All of a sudden, the originally chaotic room became quiet.
Madara remained unmoved, turning his head to stare at the speaker.This person is the most powerful and youngest elder of the Uchiha family, Hebei.In terms of seniority, he and Tajima are of the same generation, and he is also known for his martial arts. If Madara was not young, strong and talented enough, he might not be called the patriarch.
Now he and Hei are looking at Madara—even though the bandages on Madara's eyes have been removed, and it looks the same as before, this man still seems to have found some kind of sign.
"Aren't those eyes of yours Quanna's?"
"Yubei!" Quan Zuo shouted.
"Master Quan Zuo doesn't want me to tell this matter? This kind of matter can't be hidden from people's eyes." Yubing Wei smiled sadly, "People in the clan also talked a lot...you never Haven't heard of it?"
Madara lowered his eyes.Before Quansaku was about to say anything else, he raised a hand.
"That's right. These are Quan Nai's eyes." He said calmly, ignoring the strange expressions of the elders when they heard this sentence, and the kaleidoscope pattern had already appeared in his eyes, "That's why, I Gained the power to protect the Uchiha clan. These eyes will no longer lose their light due to battle-no matter how you think about this fact, right now, this power is necessary."
"Why bother!" Youbingwei sneered, "Isn't it the patriarch who personally proposed to form an alliance with Senshou? You and the patriarch of the Senshou family have a very good relationship—"
In the next moment, his words stopped halfway, and he collapsed in convulsions.
"Don't worry. I didn't kill him, but let him reflect."
Madara said, calmly as if he just released an insignificant illusion - but what kind of power would it be to be able to instantly restrain Yobei who is proficient in illusion?
"Anyone else objecting to the decision to relocate?"
Madara asked.
Naturally, no one said a word.
Word of Madara's decision quickly spread throughout the clan, causing a quiet commotion.Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they are familiar with every plant and tree in this land, and they never imagined that one day they would go far away.This is impossible.Even the family elders said that Madara was too aggressive this time, even if he said he was going to another country, where would he go?Even if the Uchiha clan is strong enough, it is someone else's territory after all, not to mention the long distance, and there are countless wild robbers and famous names who are not separated from friends and enemies. How can women and children withstand such a long journey?
When Fire Core arrived at the tavern, he saw that Xingzhi was already there.He greeted his friend and took a seat beside him, less aware of the obvious scowl on his face.
"Is that true?"
Before he could sit still, fortunately, he made a sound to inquire.
"Probably...but it hasn't been finalized yet." Fire Core said vaguely.During the past two days, the Uchihas seemed to be busy inquiring about this matter, but no one could give a definite news.The family elders seem to be trying to change Madara's mind, but there are also many young people who are very interested and feel that it might be a good idea to leave here.Huohe himself doesn't know how to look at this matter: if he is the only one, even the ends of the earth can follow Madara-sama, but his father lost his chakra in the early years of battle, and now he only relies on making ninjutsu. Gu Weisheng... Whether such a father can withstand the test of a long journey, Huohe didn't dare to think deeply.He raised his eyes and saw similar worry in Yuki's eyes.
"My wife just got pregnant."
Luckily said in a low voice.
Fire Core opened his eyes wide: "This is something worth celebrating. Congratulations."
Fortunately, he smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"I never doubted that Madara-sama would make the right decision. But..."
Huo He didn't know what to say. He thought for a while and said, "We are ninjas. We just need to obey orders."
Fortunately, he nodded and lifted the wine bottle on the table to pour some wine for him.The two were silent and clinked glasses in the air.
Fortunately, after drinking a little wine, he seemed to talk more.
"When I was a child, I used to go to the shrine on the first day of the year. Remember?"
"Remember. Every family has to go to the guard, right?"
"Well. The child's name is also obtained from the gods." Xingzhi said, "I was still thinking about what name this child will get... If I leave, I won't be able to visit again."
"What are you thinking..." Fire Core said something, but he didn't say anything more after all.It is precisely because I roughly understand the other party's mood that I can't continue talking.
"Master Quanna," Xingzhi finally sighed, "It would be great if he was still alive."
If Master Quanna was still alive, maybe Uchiha would not be so passive.Huo Nuan sipped some wine, and realized that if that was the case, they might not be able to sit and drink like this, and one of them might have lost his life in the war.In this world, the fate of people is just a fleeting morning dew. This is true for ninjas, common people, and even those of the high-ranking samurai family.
Staying here is also a stalemate.If you want to leave, you will inevitably suffer.How can the life and death of a person help the survival of a family?No matter how strong a person is, he still can't protect the whole family.The sacrifices necessary to maintain a Clan (as they've been taught all along), even if it's his father - the luckily unborn child - or Madara-sama's The only younger brother.
There is no end to it.
Fire Core felt that he must have drunk too much, because all this was not something he should consider.He looked at Lucky's cheeks that were also stained the color of wine, as a friend
