Uchiha Nan: Madara Uchiha, you have no son. Let me take care of you in your old age!

"Am I destined to become the next Obito Uchiha?"

Uchiha Nan felt a pang of panic. Obito Uchiha was far from tragic. He couldn't afford to suffer the same Obito Uchiha!

He needed to calm down. Uchiha Nan felt his heart pounding. He couldn't panic at this moment. He looked at the iced Uchiha Nan in front of him on the table, gulped it all down in one go, and chewed on the ice cubes.

The cool sensation gradually calmed Uchiha Nan down.

There's absolutely no chance of going head-to-head with Madara Uchiha. The Susanoo over Great Buddha would definitely beat him senseless; if he didn't, it just means he'd already completely exhausted by then.

The only chance to contend with Madara Uchiha is the information advantage he possesses.

Madara Uchiha appeared to be in the shadows, but everything he plotted was seen through by Uchiha Nan; he had no secrets whatsoever.

It's just the so-called Moon's Eye Plan, the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi. As long as Madara Uchiha is willing to secretly find me and use his clumsy talk-no-jutsu to find a decent excuse, Uchiha Nan feels that he can just bow down and worship.

Nan has spent half her life wandering, only regretting that she has not met a wise ruler. If you do not abandon her, Nan is willing to become your adoptive father. Madara Uchiha, you have no son, and I have no father. I want to take care of you in your old age. Don't live in that wretched underground cave anymore, come to Konoha.

Just treat it like playing a murder mystery game with an old man. Anyway Madara Uchiha hasn't awakened the Rinnegan yet, so I'll just play along and slowly wear him down. As long as he doesn't resort to violence, it's fine. I'm still young. I can lie low and complete the system's gold missions. As long as I don't die, I'll eventually get my chance.

It's not like Madara Uchiha and demolish Konoha without saying a word.

Uchiha Nan pondered to himself, figuring that Madara Uchiha was targeting him because he wanted to use him as a backup plan for the Moon's Eye Plan. He just needed to slide to his knees quickly enough. He was a little troubled about what graceful pose to use when acknowledging Madara as his adoptive father. He couldn't just kneel down and call him adoptive father directly, could he?

Now that Madara Uchiha has infiltrated Konoha, he's like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. There's still no way to find Madara Uchiha Madara Uchiha. If Madara Uchiha wants to hide, Uchiha Nan feels she has no ability to find him. It's so frustrating. She can only passively wait for Madara Uchiha to come to her.

However, at least his life was safe. Uchiha Nan breathed a sigh of relief. After some analysis, his worries lessened considerably. The only thing he was still anxious about was when Madara Uchiha would finally come after him.

That's it. After much deliberation, Uchiha Nan felt his best course of action was to decisively kneel and join the Moon's Eye Plan, then slowly and patiently wait for fate to take its course.

As for the conspiracy behind the Eye of the Moon Plan, the tragedy of the Otsutsuki family, and Black Zetsu Zetsu's plan to save his mother, Uchiha Nan doesn't intend to reveal a single detail unless it reaches the most critical and life-threatening moment. He's practically developing PTSD from the butterfly effect. He wants to keep the Hokage storyline going as far as possible. Although it's already completely broken down, the general direction hasn't changed.

Who knows if Madara Uchiha will go insane if he learns the truth? Or if he'll still be so stubborn as to continue with the Moon's Eye Plan? There are just too many unknowns and uncertainties. We can't act rashly.

The world of Hokage is ultimately a world where the power of heaven and earth returns to oneself; strength is the only true measure of power!

Uchiha Nan sighed for a moment. Madara Uchiha had grasped the greatest truth in this world, and Hashirama Senju, who possessed a truth even more correct than Madara Uchiha's, was dead. Now, whatever Madara Uchiha said was right.

These days, opportunities to rapidly increase one's strength are few and far between. The only way to obtain the system's Gold reward is by completing system tasks; the probability of drawing Gold reward through ordinary Lottery chance is practically zero.

The Hashirama Cells are almost within reach. The Uchiha members will all be in place within the next day or two. Tobirama Senju focusing all his efforts on developing the Hashirama Cells, and I believe we will soon have a final result.

"But it's still not enough," Uchiha Nan shook his head. To have more self-defense capabilities and avoid being beaten to a pulp by Madara Uchiha, he needed to increase his strength as much as possible.

Hashirama Cells: Hashirama Senju Sage Mode?

Uchiha Nan pondered, he couldn't help but think of the source of Hashirama Senju's immense power: his vast and unfathomable Chakra reserves, his incredibly fast self-healing ability, and, besides Chakra Hashirama Senju's perfect Sage Mode.

As for Wood Release?

It's a very ordinary Kekkei Genkai; Uchiha Nan felt its strength was even inferior to Ōnoki's Dust Release. A mere graze would cause injury, a direct contact would be fatal, turning people into an atomic state; Dust Release always inflicts true damage.

What's powerful is Hashirama Senju, not Wood Release. With Hashirama Senju's inhuman stats, any bloodstains will appear invincible.

Both Yamato possess Wood Release, but the strength of Wood Release is so great that it would be insufficient to build even a few rows of houses. Compared to Hashirama Senju's overwhelming and powerful endless sea of trees that could alter the terrain, and the towering Wood Human hundreds of meters tall, they are practically two different Kekkei Genkai.

Sage Body. The boundless Chakra can only be obtained by waiting for Tobirama Senju to unleash his power; it can't be rushed. However, Sage Mode is something I could consider.

Sage Mode enhances a ninja's power several times, even ten times. Hashirama Senju was able to suppress Madara Uchiha for a lifetime, and Sage Mode played a crucial role in that. However, learning Sage Mode is a bit of a challenge.

Ryūchi Cave, Shikkotsu Forest, and Myobokuzan are the Three Great Sage Lands for summoning beasts, each possessing different Senjutsu. These Three Great Sage Lands Three Great Sage Lands Three Great Sage Lands have always been hidden in a corner of this Ninja world, and their locations are impossible to find without signing Summoning Contract with them.

As the chosen land of the Hokage world, Konoha naturally eventually collected the Summoning Scroll of the Three Great Sage Lands. However, apart from the Senju Clan possessing the Summoning Scroll of Shikkotsu Forest, the Summoning Scroll of the other two holy lands have yet to appear in the world.

The Senju Clan would never allow themselves to touch the Summoning Scroll of Shikkotsu Forest; they were well aware of the power of Sage Mode. Hashirama Senju's example was right before their eyes.

Even as the Hokage, forcibly seizing the Senju Clan's Summoning Scroll would be incredibly difficult. The chances are slim.

The Summoning Scroll from Shikkotsu Forest is an invaluable treasure for any ninja clan. It grants the opportunity to learn Sage Mode and even summon a clone of the Katsuyu Sage. The healing power of the Katsuyu is undeniable; it directly healed the entire Allied Shinobi Forces Fourth Great Ninja War. It is a family heirloom passed down through generations of the Senju Clan.

Pass it on to his arch-rival Uchiha?

Even Uchiha Toma Senju Mangekyō Sharingan, would never agree to it, nor would the Senju Clan. No amount of money could change that; it involved the lineage of the ninja clan, its importance comparable to the secret techniques passed down through clans. He and Nara Luyuan were already quite close, but if he were to ask for the Nara Clan's shadow techniques, he would probably be torn to shreds.

Headache. The Summoning Scroll from Shikkotsu Forest will have to wait. Uchiha Nan tapped his fingers on the table, feeling somewhat agitated. His mind was occupied with Myobokuzan and Ryūchi Cave.

As for Ryūchi Cave, Orochimaru found it himself while exploring the Ninja world. The original Hokage manga doesn't explain exactly how Orochimaru found Ryūchi Cave.

Myobokuzan. Jiraiya was randomly teleported there by sheer luck... Hmm, it shouldn't be luck. Those Toad on Myobokuzan are no pushovers. They foresaw the future a thousand years ago through their dreams.

Let's try our luck. He's already messed up the timeline; the future has already shifted. It's uncertain whether Jiraiya will be able to find Myobokuzan like in the original story.

Orochimaru is no longer a viable option; the only one who can now access Sage Mode is probably Jiraiya.

After much deliberation, Uchiha Nan decided to call Jiraiya over tomorrow to teach him the Summoning Technique good luck.

Sage Mode... I hope everything goes well. The power of Sage Mode is undeniable, but learning it is very difficult. Uchiha Nan sighed softly.

The Forbidden Scroll contains only a few words about mastering Sage Mode. Tobirama Senju Clan didn't learn it; among the Hashirama Senju, only Hashirama Senju, as far as I know, has. As for Hashirama Senju's experience... well, the Forbidden Scroll does mention a little, but let's not dwell on it.

Sensing natural energy, absorbing and mixing it in the correct proportions, then activating Sage Mode. This is written extremely briefly!

Over the past thousand years, countless pitiful souls have turned to stone while practicing Sage Mode. The training threshold that Hashirama Senju unintentionally crossed is an insurmountable chasm that they could never cross in their entire lives.

The unusually brief cultivation insights in the Forbidden Scroll truly reflect Hashirama Senju's real experiences. It's like having a cheat code... cough cough, cultivating Sage Mode is as simple as breathing. Breathing is just inhaling and exhaling; what techniques could there be?

It's infuriating to compare yourself to others. Uchiha Nan hates these kinds of gifted freaks the most; their talent is so strong that even a cheat-like guy like him feels jealous.

Uchiha Nan walked to the window, opened it, and took a few breaths of fresh air. It was already dusk; time to go home. Worrying so much was useless; it only made her irritable!

Get off work!

Public benches near the Ninja Academy

Madara Uchiha sat in a chair, admiring the beautiful sunset, surrounded by a large pile of cards. After an afternoon of hard work, Madara Uchiha had successfully spent almost all his money, but the card he most wanted still hadn't appeared.

"Is my luck really that bad?"

"That's almost a hundred cards, and you still can't draw your own?"

Madara Uchiha was somewhat resentful; he still wanted to put on a show in Itou Sousuke... cough cough, now he's messed up!

He was afraid that brat would laugh at him. Madara Uchiha had dominated the Ninja world his entire life; how could he be mocked by a child!

Let's fight another day!

Madara Uchiha refused to believe in such superstitions. He thought that drawing a card was nothing, how could it possibly be difficult for him? He only regretted that he didn't have enough money!

If you spend a lot of money, you're guaranteed to get the card you want!

Make money!

Madara Uchiha made up his mind that he had to make money as soon as possible, but he heard that factory work didn't pay much, and he couldn't let bounty missions go to waste... He had to make money on two fronts!

But that kid will be out of school soon. We agreed to meet here at noon so I could personally give him my card.

He'd already boasted about it all. He was about to meet him. Madara Uchiha's heart pounded with nervousness.

Should we run away?

For the first time, Madara Uchiha had the thought of fleeing in the face of battle. It was back when he was a child and relatively weak. He faced two or three adult Senju Clan ninjas by himself, but Madara Uchiha was not afraid and fought them head-on until the clan's reinforcements arrived.

This was especially true against Hashirama; although his power and regenerative abilities were suppressed, Madara Uchiha still charged forward recklessly.

Don't run!

Madara Uchiha felt that he had already broken his promise once by not drawing his own card. If he stood the kid up again, he would have broken his promise twice in a row!

Let's just grit our teeth and go for it!

Madara Uchiha sat there until the Ninja Academy let out, and soon after, Itou Sousuke found Madara Uchiha as promised.

"Grandpa, wow... so many cards?"

Itou Sousuke immediately spotted the cards next to Madara Uchiha, his eyes lighting up instantly. He rarely had the chance to see so many cards piled together.

"Hmm, just a mere card."

Madara Uchiha stood up somewhat awkwardly, but his stubbornness remained unchanged.

"Madara Uchiha's card, sir."

Itou Sousuke looked at the stacks of cards, estimating there were nearly a hundred, and wondered if Madara Uchiha had actually drawn the rarest card— Madara Uchiha.

"Um, no, that one."

Madara Uchiha's voice immediately softened; he was about to lose face in front of the children!

"Sir, sigh. Let me take a look at these cards. The Gyūki Saiken, and Son Gokū cards are quite rare. If we could sell them, we might be able to recoup some of our losses."

Itou Sousuke sighed as he flipped through the cards. Every single one he drew was worth money. Although the cards were valuable, this was a game that poor people like them couldn't afford to play. It would be more practical to sell them for cash and recoup some of their losses.

I should have known better than to take Grandpa to see it. He's so old, why is he still so stubborn?

"Sir, do you have any money left?"

"Rich? How could I possibly be poor!"

"Wealth is nothing but an external thing to me!"

Hmm. Still a boastful old man!

Itou Sousuke thought to himself, "If this old man had any money, he would definitely have drawn Madara Uchiha's card. Rich people don't give up halfway through drawing cards."

"Let me sell these valuable cards for you; we can recoup some of the losses. Some of them are quite rare."

"Suit yourself. I don't care."

"Does the old man have money for dinner tonight?"

"My old man"

Madara Uchiha felt the few coins left in his pocket; buying a few more roasted sweet potatoes wouldn't be a problem!

He's Madara Uchiha, getting food is easy for him, he can even steal it. Cough, cough Genjutsu too. In short, he has many methods.

"Sigh! Uncle, you can't be so impulsive in the future. It's not easy for us poor people to earn money. My mother works more than ten hours a day in the factory, and sometimes she has to work overtime all night."

"Come sell roasted sweet potatoes with me tonight. Two sweet potatoes will be your wages."

Itou Sousuke saw Madara Uchiha's stubbornness. He also felt a little responsible for Madara Uchiha losses, but all he could do was give him two or three roasted sweet potatoes, as Madara's family was quite poor.

"You can't beat a brat like me. I was just unlucky this time. Let me tell you, don't even mention it, cough cough, I'll draw a whole set of cards from Madara Uchiha's card later and show it to you!"

Madara Uchiha felt he had lost face, so he decided to raise the stakes and regain it. One of his cards wasn't enough; he needed the whole set!

I chatted with a guy and we promoted each other.

He also wrote Hokage, and it's already a high-quality work, so the quality is guaranteed!
