Uchiha Motoyuki had been badly injured, the mission target had already left, and even Senju Longshu had fled.
As an elite of the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Motoyuki was an important fighting asset. They could not simply ignore his injuries.
Madara Uchiha ordered the others to take the badly injured Uchiha Motoyuki back to the Clan Grounds first, while he went to find the other group of clansmen.
Uchiha Motoyuki's mission had failed. That fact could not be changed.
It had nothing to do with Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha had already learned what had happened. There had been no girl among those who had confronted Uchiha Motoyuki head-on.
Compared with Uchiha Motoyuki's team, Madara Uchiha was more worried about the group that had encountered Princess Senju.
Apparently, because Uchiha Motoyuki considered Senju Longshu the more important target, he had personally brought his team's elites to intercept him, leaving the less capable members to pursue the other two Senju Clan children.
But Senju Longshu and Uchiha Motoyuki had fought so viciously that the Uchiha elites accompanying Motoyuki had all proved themselves "smart people." They had slacked off and contributed absolutely nothing from beginning to end.
Still, Madara Uchiha could completely understand.
Senju Longshu had become far more powerful than he had been the last time.
With those bizarre bracer weapons and that terrifying Scimitar Dance, Senju Longshu had reduced even someone as strong as Uchiha Motoyuki to this miserable state.
If the others had joined in, they might not even have survived. Knowing they would surely die, they had naturally made the right choice.
Only Madara Uchiha knew that the Uchiha clansmen who had gone after the "Senju Clan children" had suffered the worst fate.
On his way to find them, Madara Uchiha spotted a flock of birds circling overhead and stopped.
