Madara's Memories

After manipulating the Third Mizukage to spar with his beloved disciple and bringing Karatachi Yagura back to Kirigakure, Uchiha severed his connection with the Third Mizukage. With Genjutsu at his disposal, he was quite at ease, though he couldn't watch the show from a first-person perspective.

Besides, with Black Zetsu watching over him, what does he need to worry about?

Uchiha felt so tired that his eyelids started to droop, and he finally fell asleep, resting his chin on his hand.

He slept very soundly, a sleep that brought him moments of joy, moments of pain, and moments of madness.

He dreamt of his first encounter with Hashirama, their first time playing together, and then his first time becoming the clan leader, fighting against Senju Hashirama, who was also a clan leader, on the battlefield.

He dreamed of his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna.

"Brother, carry my eyes and the people's yearning for peace, and let's go on."

"Brother, I can't fight alongside you anymore. From now on, take good care of yourself."

Uchiha screamed in his dream, but gradually lost his voice and wept in his dream. From then on, he never shed another tear. He had once been happy because of his growing strength, but now he was indifferent to everything.

His mind kept replaying the entire process of Senju Tobirama killing Izuna, and in his dreams, he kept trying to break through the Flying Thunder God Slash. He wanted to break through this move and then kill Tobirama with his own hands.

However, things didn't go as planned. He eventually co-founded Konoha with Hashirama, ushering in peace. For the sake of peace, he even gave up avenging Izuna and even worked with his mortal enemy.

Back then, he seemed to be wearing the Konoha Forehead Protector. Izuna wanted to bring peace to the Uchiha, and he probably succeeded.

However, as time went on, he discovered that the villagers supported Hashirama, and the First Hokage was appointed to him without any objection from Uchiha.

Hashirama promised him the position of Second Hokage, but in the end, it was his mortal enemy who became the Second Hokage. At that moment, he realized that if the Uchiha Clan lived in Konoha, they would never have a chance to rise in the world.

What he ultimately wanted to do was simply lead his clan to the path of peace, but his clan abandoned him, the head of the Uchiha Clan, and became obsessed with a false peace.

"Hashirama, do you think I don't know anything? Compared to me, the villagers and the higher-ups all want Senju Tobirama to be the Hokage." Uchiha stared at Senju Hashirama.

Senju Hashirama hesitated, his expression evasive. He couldn't lie, so he couldn't say anything else to Madara, only urging him to calm down.

"The Uchiha Clan is clearly drifting further and further away from power! You've disappointed me greatly, Hashirama!" Uchiha said, then turned and returned to the clan compound without looking back.

In order to protect the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha decided to put the Uchiha Clan back on the path of seizing power and chose to oppose Hashirama.

He understood this clearly, so he gathered his clansmen and called on everyone to follow him out of Konoha to find their own Pure Land!

But...

The Uchiha Clan members are all hoping for a truce; none of them are willing to follow me. My subordinates also deeply resent him for wanting to reignite the war.

They all chose to betray him. He only wanted to protect the members of the Uchiha Clan.

He couldn't even protect his younger brother, so he probably can't keep his promise to protect the Uchiha Clan.

If Izuna knew this from beyond the grave, would he be angry? He didn't know. He had left the village, been betrayed by everyone, and had no followers left.

Like a lone wolf, an old wolf abandoned by its pack, so wretched, so lonely, so pitiful.

Uchiha doesn't need pity. Even if he's all alone, he will still walk the path to peace in the Ninja World. Even if he's all alone, he will use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to end the war in the entire Ninja World.

This is him, the God of Shinobi, Uchiha Madara!

There is no point in indulging in a false peace, Hashirama, I will prove to you that I am right.

Uchiha thought to himself, but now he seemed to have another bond, that man who looked seven-tenths like him, but whose brows resembled Izuna's three-tenths, Uchiha Kō.

This is his brother's only remaining bloodline in the world. Even if it means his death, he will protect him.

Thinking of this, Uchiha opened his eyes. Black Zetsu was right beside him. He murmured, "How long have I been asleep?"

"Reporting to Lord Madara, it's been a whole day," Black Zetsu said respectfully.

Uchiha nodded. "Any news from Konoha?" He was asking how Uchiha Kō had been doing lately, but he was too proud to say it out loud.

Black Zetsu immediately understood and said to Uchiha, "Konoha has recently made a fortune, and it's said to be all thanks to your eldest grandson."

"Oh? Tell me in detail, what exactly happened!" Uchiha's lips curled up, his eyes lit up, and he sat up straight.

Left with no other choice, Black Zetsu Lord Madara had to tell Uchiha everything he had found out in order to please him.

Uchiha into laughter, "Haha! As expected of Izuna's grandson, he perfectly inherited the best qualities of Izuna and me, haha!"

Thinking of this, Madara suddenly stopped, seemingly realizing that his eldest grandson had a good relationship with Konoha and was unwilling to help him.

But if he doesn't want to help, so be it. It's no big deal. Young people always have things they enjoy doing.

"By the way, Lord Madara, in three months, Uchiha Kō will be getting married to Hashirama's granddaughter." Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes.

Uchiha nodded. "That girl is very beautiful, and she would be a good match for my eldest grandson. As for the affairs of the older generation, they shouldn't involve the younger generation."

"However, since it's my grandson's wedding, even if I can't be there in person, I must send a gift. Black Zetsu, give this to my grandson." With that, he handed the Uchiha Gunbai to Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu's eyes twitched. You're really willing to part with something like this? The Uchiha Gunbai not only enhances the power of Fire Release Ninjutsu, but it's also the symbol of the Uchiha Clan Head!

"Yes!" I'll set off right away!

Uchiha nodded, thinking to himself, "This token of my clan's lineage is meant for future generations. I don't even know how much longer I have to live, so giving this treasure to Uchiha Kō is quite fitting."

Black Zetsu was incredibly fast. He burrowed underground into Konoha, possessed an ordinary person, and then manipulated that person's body to write a wedding blessing.

The signatory is Madara, but Black Zetsu didn't write the surname. Presumably, Uchiha Kō will understand.

Then they arrived at the Uchiha Clan Compound, where Uchiha Kō had just woken up. Someone outside asked him to go out and get something.

When he arrived at the door, he saw a wooden box, but the person had already left.

He carried the wooden box back to his room, opened it, and found it contained Uchiha Gunbai. His brow furrowed! There was also a piece of paper next to it, signed by Madara.

Uchiha Kō felt a mix of emotions. He stroked the Uchiha Gunbai, but unexpectedly, the Uchiha Kō Uchiha Gunbai a beam of light that pierced his finger.

A drop of blood fell into the fan, creating a connection between him and the Uchiha Gunbai, and he learned how to use the Uchiha Gunbai.

An extra chapter tonight, a treat for you all!
