"What's this plan, then?"
Uchiha Izuna had long since stopped treating his cousin like an ordinary person. Even if he himself was just an ordinary person, his cousin wielded far too much power.
"You'll find out when the time comes."
Uchiha Yang smiled mysteriously.
Only by making those Senju bastards miserable could he feel at ease.
Seeing how confident he looked, Uchiha Madara didn't ask any more questions. Whatever happened, he could deal with it.
"By the way, over the past two months, more than fifty people in the clan have become pregnant."
When Uchiha Madara brought it up, the corners of his mouth lifted despite himself.
The more clan members there were, the happier he was as their head.
More people meant more clan members who could become ninja, which would naturally strengthen the clan as a whole.
"Looks like the family planning program is going smoothly." Uchiha Yang reminded him with satisfaction, "Stock up on some goji berries and red dates. We should also get more herbs that nourish yin and invigorate yang."
"Ahem, I already had someone go out and buy those."
Under Uchiha Yang's gaze, Uchiha Madara felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was still too young to have much of a thick skin.
"Madara, you're not planning to grow old alone, are you?"
"You're not still a virgin, are you?"
"No way. The great Uchiha Clan Head doesn't like women?"
Uchiha Yang glanced at him casually, as if he'd discovered something. A strange glint flickered in his eyes.
Suddenly, Uchiha Yang sucked in a sharp breath. "Don't tell me you like men."
As he spoke, Uchiha Yang deliberately stood up and covered his backside.
Damn, there's a gay guy right beside me.
Uchiha Izuna looked at his older brother with an extremely complicated expression.
In his mind, this man had already been mentally equated with Senju Hashirama.
"Hey, hey, don't spread rumors! I don't like men."
Uchiha Madara panicked. If Uchiha Yang kept going, Izuna might really start to suspect that he liked men.
"Fine, I'll stop teasing you. You'd better get married and have children. Your son can inherit your talent and take over as Uchiha Clan Head one day, protecting the Uchiha Clan."
Seeing that Uchiha Madara was genuinely flustered, Uchiha Yang burst out laughing. Although Uchiha Madara had a bit of a bromance streak, he didn't actually like men.
It was just that he and Hashirama were very close.
"Of course, of course."
Uchiha Madara laughed awkwardly, eager to end the topic before Uchiha Yang continued. He hurriedly nodded.
Uchiha Izuna also breathed a sigh of relief, already considering which woman in the clan would be suitable for his older brother.
"You said it." Uchiha Yang could tell Uchiha Madara was just humoring him.
Uchiha Madara was fiercely driven. Even after coming back from the dead, he was still fighting for his ideals. It was genuinely moving.
"I said it." Uchiha Madara gave an earnest-sounding promise.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you."
Uchiha Yang grew serious and addressed the two of them.
"As for Senju Hashirama's dream, I don't think peace is possible. So we have to stop Senju Hashirama from spreading his dream to the entire world."
"And in the process, we'll reshape the world's order and structure into something of our own making."
"Is this just part of your revenge, or do you really think peace is impossible?"
Uchiha Madara looked at him, curious.
"Both, I suppose." Uchiha Yang grinned mischievously. "Anyway, no enemy who crosses the Uchiha gets off lightly."
"Right. Let's do it."
Those words struck a chord with Uchiha Madara, and he raised his cup.
"Cousin, take it easy. Don't get drunk again."
Uchiha Izuna, raising his cup with them, noticed Uchiha Yang's face starting to turn red and couldn't help warning him.
"I could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. Come on, drink with me."
Uchiha Yang snorted, clinked cups with him, and downed his drink in one go.
That night, Uchiha Yang got so drunk he passed out. His brain took control of his body and wrote a letter, which it handed to Uchiha Kage.
[Brain: If you can't hold your liquor, don't drink. I suspect the master just doesn't want to write letters.]
[Sharingan: Drop the "suspect." It's not the first or second time the master's been lazy.]
[Hand: What if this is a case of letting the professionals handle what they're good at? The brain writes professional letters.]
[Leg: I never thought the hand would sink so low as to make excuses for the master.]
[Mouth: I want to drink more. I'm not drunk at all. That liquor was so good.]
[Lightning Affinity: By the way, Mouth, besides eating, what can you even do? Can't you be useful for once?]
[Mouth: What if the master's been using my ability all along?]
[Brain: Really? Have you learned the legendary Talk no Jutsu?]
[Mouth: Ahem, let's keep that quiet. I'm still not quite there yet.]
[Sharingan: Huh.]
[Hand: It just occurred to me that I'm the one writing the plan. The brain only thinks about it, while I do all the work. Why does the brain get the credit?]
[Brain: Ahem, we're all on the same team. Why divide things into yours and mine?]
Uchiha Kage passed it on to Uchiha Sake, who had just been getting ready to go to sleep.
Looking at the letter in his hands, Uchiha Sake felt the weight of his master's trust.
"Master said to give it to the people in the Southwest City Ninja Clan Alliance."
After relaying the master's instructions, Uchiha Kage vanished from Uchiha Sake's sight.
Uchiha Sake didn't dare delay his master's important business. He set out before dawn, saying goodbye to his wife at home and embracing her before they parted.
The Southwest Ninja Clan Alliance was simply an alliance of several clans with secret techniques.
Calling it a ninja clan alliance made it sound impressive. In reality, it was just a bunch of weaklings banding together for warmth.
The three secret-technique clans with the most influence in the Southwest Alliance were the Matsuda Clan, the Yamada Clan, and the Shinjo Clan.
Each of the three clans had three elite jonin, and even their clan heads were Kage Level powerhouses.
Not every clan head was strong enough to be considered a clan-head-level fighter. Only people like Senju Hashirama, Hyuga Tennin, and Uchiha Madara had the strength to earn that distinction.
(Power rankings in the Warring States era: Genin—Chunin—Jonin—Elite Jonin—Kage Level—Clan Head Level)
The families Uchiha Yang's brain had contacted this time were those three secret-technique clans.
The Southwest Alliance had more than a dozen elite jonin altogether. Unfortunately, they weren't united, and elite jonin in the Uchiha Clan were on another level compared to theirs. That was why they posed no real threat.
If this plan succeeded, it would not only resolve the Uchiha Clan's problem in the southwest, but also deal a devastating blow to the Senju Clan.
Uchiha Sake secretly infiltrated the Southwest Alliance and appeared in the Matsuda Clan's territory.
"Who's there?"
A Matsuda ninja on patrol spotted Uchiha Sake and immediately shouted.
In an instant, Matsuda ninja swarmed in from all around.
With so many eyes around, Uchiha Sake kept his identity hidden behind his mask and tossed the letter to one of the Matsuda ninja.
"This letter is for your clan head. You have three days. After that, the offer expires."
With a bang, Uchiha Sake vanished in a puff of white smoke. He had used the Clone Technique.
