Konoha, Uchiha Fugaku received the news from Obito and hurriedly summoned all the clan members. In the square of Uchiha Clan Compound, Great Elder Uchiha Hayakawa was leaning on a cane, looking at the crowd of heads, and said tremblingly, "I Uchiha Hayakawa am over eighty years old. Seeing Uchiha Clan's current prosperity, I am happy from the bottom of my heart."

"But when you drink water, don't forget the well digger."

"We Uchiha Clan can be where we are today, but we can never forget a god-like man, our former patriarch Lord Madara."

"We Uchiha Clan are sorry for him."

"I, Uchiha Hayakawa, can't even see him."

"Originally, I thought, I am an old person and I don't have many more years to live."

"Maybe after you die, you can go underground and apologize to Lord Madara."

"But today I learned that Lord Madara was actually still alive until today."

Uchiha Hayakawa's eyes turned red and he said sadly, "At the beginning, we did not choose to follow him. Lord Madara hates us and Uchiha Clan is right."

"This is all our own fault!"

"But Lord Madara is the ancestor of our Uchiha Clan, the hero who led Uchiha Clan to create Hidden Leaf Village."

"After he dies, we can't let him live outside."

"All clan members, regardless of age, as long as they can walk, must put on their clan uniforms and go out of the village together to welcome Lord Madara."

The audience was quiet for a moment, and all the tribesmen shouted in unison, "Welcome Lord Madara."

On the Hidden Leaf Village street, many Uchiha Clan people dressed in black uniforms lined up in a long queue.

At the front of the team, Uchiha Fugaku was supporting Great Elder Uchiha Hayakawa with a solemn expression.

At this time, there were many pedestrians on the street, and they all looked surprised.

Many family ninjas among them were observing secretly, looking surprised and uncertain.

In the hiding place, a Sarutobi Clan ninja whispered, "What happened? Almost all Uchiha Clan personnel were dispatched?"

Shimura Clan's ninja said solemnly, "I think they must have a conspiracy."

Nara Shikaku, who happened to be watching, rolled his eyes and complained, "What a hell conspiracy, you would bring a toddler with you when you do bad things?"

At this time, the team has marched to Konoha Gate.

The two ninjas guarding the gate stopped Uchiha Fugaku and asked, "Master Fugaku, you can't leave the village without Hokage's order."

Uchiha Fugaku frowned and was about to speak when Namikaze Minato jumped over and ordered, "Let them get out."

Patting Uchiha Fugaku on the shoulder, Namikaze Minato sighed, "Obito told me, you go ahead."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and helped Uchiha Hayakawa out of the village.

Ten kilometers away from the Konoha entrance, the Uchiha Clan group stopped and waited silently.

About an hour later, a black spot appeared in the sky. Obito jumped from a high altitude with Uchiha Kenichi in his hand and landed in front of Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Hayakawa took a few steps forward, grabbed Obito's hand, and said excitedly, "Where are Obito, Lord Madara?"

Obito waved his right hand, and a beautiful coffin appeared on the ground.

Uchiha Hayakawa threw himself on the coffin and cried loudly, "Lord Madara, we are sorry for you!"

"Back then, we shouldn't have been so obsessed with believing Senju Hashirama's lies."

"Senju Tobirama is not a good thing."

"Many tribesmen were sent to the battlefield by him and never came back."

"Uchiha Clan's strength is declining."

"If it weren't for Obito, I wouldn't have the shame to see the old patriarch and you after I die."

Obito was speechless, holding his forehead up, lifting Uchiha Hayakawa up, and injected a magic power into his body to help him stabilize his emotions.

Asking Uchiha Fugaku to take care of the old man, Obito came to the coffin and said softly, "Kenichi, I will carry the front, and you will carry the back."

Uchiha Hayakawa broke away from Uchiha Fugaku and shouted, "Don't move, all of you, I will lift you."

Obito looked at Uchiha Hayakawa with a headache, and persuaded, "Great Elder, you are so old, just let us young people do it."

Uchiha Hayakawa shook his head stubbornly and said stubbornly, "If you don't let me lift it, I won't rest in peace until I die."

"And don't worry, I've already prepared."

He took out the prepared Four-Piece Potion Set and Uchiha Hayakawa from his arms and drank it, his face flushed red.

Throwing away the crutches, Uchiha Hayakawa made a few moves and said with a smile, "Don't worry now."

Obito sighed helplessly and ordered, "Kenichi, you and Great Elder are too far behind, I will lift up the front."

With the sound of "Hey", the coffin was gradually lifted.

Obito is in front, Uchiha Kenichi and Uchiha Hayakawa are behind, and the team starts again, returning to Konoha.

Along the way, the snow fell harder and harder, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit everyone.

But the Uchiha Clan people were silent, as if silence had become the most appropriate language.

Looking back along the flow of people, a large row of continuous footprints are left on the snow, as if a person has a long life.

Obito walked ahead carrying the coffin, letting the snowflakes beat on him, and used his mental strength to keep the coffin clean and tidy.

I only have a little respect for Uchiha Madara and Obito, but I don't have deep feelings for them.

But the dead are the most important. Now that Uchiha Madara has passed away, Obito hopes he can have a decent ending.

As the footprints behind him became longer and longer, Konoha arrived.

Obito saw the panting Uchiha Hayakawa behind him and said softly, "Great Elder, can you still hold on?"

Uchiha Hayakawa drank another bottle of potion and said with a hearty smile, "It's okay, don't worry about me."

"Then we will enter the village."

Obito nodded and walked into Kimura slowly.

Although Hidden Leaf Village residents on the side did not know the specific situation, they also saw the coffin and spontaneously followed behind to see it off.

All the way to Graveyard, the queue got longer and longer.

After arriving at Graveyard at the Uchiha Clan, Namikaze Minato and a large group of ninjas were waiting quietly.

Obito smiled at Namikaze Minato and slowly lowered the coffin.

Originally, according to Hidden Leaf Village tradition, the deceased were generally buried.

But Uchiha Madara's body was of great importance. Obito decided to cremate the body after taking part of it for future summons.

At the coffin, a group of the Uchiha Clan people set up a pile of firewood and placed the coffin in the middle.

Obito took out Ivory and fired a shot at the firewood.

"Bang"

With a loud bang, the pile of wood burst into flames.

Uchiha Clan people gathered around the fire and spontaneously sang simple and sad folk songs.

In the crowd, Orochimaru sighed with emotion, "Such a powerful man has lost to time."

Next to him, Tsunade touched the necklace around his neck and said in despair, "Who can escape the fate of death?"

In a hidden place, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked complicated and murmured in a low voice, "Uchiha Madara is dead, I am old, and everything will not be able to withstand time after all."
