Several months later, one morning, the rosy dawn painted the entire sky above the Ten Family villa. Large red lanterns hung high under the eaves, swaying gently in the breeze, as if announcing the upcoming joyous news. Tsubasa and his family stood in the center of the courtyard, gazing at the magnificent sunrise on the horizon, their hearts filled with anticipation and joy. These past few days, his wives' bellies had grown Tenten; he had lost count of the countless days and nights he had waited for their children to be born. However, unexpectedly, Tsuki Uguisu, who was a few days younger than him, was about to give birth first.
Just then, the sound of a baby crying suddenly came from Tian Uguisu's room, and a soft green light, bright yet not dazzling, like the warmest sunshine in spring, instantly illuminated the entire room. At the same time, the old tree in the courtyard sprouted new buds in the cold winter, and the tender green leaves danced gently in the breeze, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
"It's born! Lady Ying has given birth!" The midwife's excited shouts broke the tranquility of the courtyard. Tsubasa hurried into the room. He saw Tian Uguisu lying on the bed, her face tired but radiant with a happy smile, holding a beautifully sculpted baby in her arms. The little one opened its big, round eyes, neither crying nor fussing, but simply curiously looking at this brand new world.
At that moment, Tsubasa felt a deep, tender touch on his heart. He carefully cradled the child in his arms and whispered, "From now on, you will be called Tenchu, the pillar of our Konoha. I never imagined you would be born before Tenbutsu and Tenpei. You truly are worthy of being called the Ten Family."
As Tsubasa stepped out of the room carrying the swaddled baby, Madara Uchiha's wooden clogs clattered loudly in the corridor, his crimson Sharingan beneath his long hair practically Mars. Mito Uzumaki followed closely behind, the Chakra Chains around her waist trembling slightly with her rapid breathing. The two of them, like two mad beasts, locked in a struggle, eventually surrounding Tsubasa.
" Chakra fluctuations right from birth! Let me see!" Madara Uchiha's Adam's apple bobbed as his calloused hand reached directly into the swaddling clothes, his nails almost tearing through the Ten Family crest embroidered on the swaddling clothes. "That familiar Chakra fluctuation... there's no mistake, it's Hashirama!"
Seeing this, Mito stamped her foot in frustration, her pink hairband whipping through the air in a sharp arc. " Madara Uchiha! You're almost 60 years old, can't you have some self-control? This is a newborn baby! Have you ever held one? Do you even know how to hold one?"
Gi Senju and Senju Ga stood on tiptoe, peering out from the outside of the two, too intimidated by the oppressive aura emanating from Madara Uchiha to even breathe. Tsubasa reluctantly took a half-step back. "Master's wife, Lord Madara, let's not bring up the past life again. This child is named Tenchu in this life; he is the pillar of our Konoha, the child of me and Tian Uguisu..."
"Bullshit Hashirama is Hashirama!" Madara Uchiha suddenly roared, activating his Sharingan, startling the Crow outside the corridor into a flurry of flight. He snatched the child away, his withered fingers carefully cradling the infant's bottom, his wrinkled face almost pressed against Tenchu's rosy cheeks, his voice filled with excitement. "What can't I learn with these Sharingan? Holding a baby is a piece of cake. Hashirama, you really can't bear to part with me... We promised to change the Shinobi World together back then. Grow up quickly, and let's conquer the stars together!"
Suddenly, Tenchu, still in his swaddling clothes, pouted, his little face turning bright red, and he burst into a loud wail. Everyone rushed over in a flurry, but Ban held the child tightly in his arms, gently wiping away the tears from the baby's eyes with his calloused thumb. "Don't cry, don't cry. If anyone dares to bully you, I'll break their bones!"
Just then, an astonishing scene unfolded. Tenchu's tearful eyes suddenly glowed with a blood-red light, his pupils contracted rapidly, and the first Tomoe slowly rotated within the blood mist. Then, the second and third appeared one after another, like bamboo shoots emerging from the earth, before the horrified eyes of the crowd. Madara's breathing quickened, his aged hands trembling slightly. " Mitsudomoe... born with Mitsudomoe! Hashirama, it really is you!"
Mito Uzumaki said, " Madara Uchiha, look what you've done! You've scared the child so much he's Sharingan! Let me hold him!"
Just as the Mangekyō Sharingan pattern was about to appear in his blood-red pupils, Tenchu suddenly hiccuped, his eyes brimming with tears. He reached out his tiny, chubby hand and grabbed Madara's finger, his plump little mouth chasing after Madara's finger and nibbling at it incessantly. Madara's old face instantly blossomed into a wide smile, completely ignoring Mito Uzumaki, and gently rubbed the baby's face with his wrinkled forehead. "Good! Good! I'll teach you Fire Style from now on, and we'll burn all those disobedient people in this Shinobi World to ashes!"
" Madara Uchiha! You've gone too far!" Mito's face flushed red with anger, Chakra Chains lashed out. "Even if he's reincarnated, Tenchu is still my grand-disciple! Give me the child to hold!"
Madara, holding the child, nimbly dodged to the side, chin held high. "Haven't you held Hashirama your whole life enough? Now that Tenchu has awakened the Sharingan, he needs to learn it from me. What can a Sharingan -wielding guy like you teach him?"
" Tsubasa! Look at him! Do something about him!" Mito turned to Tsubasa, her eyes welling with tears. " Hashirama then, Hashirama was always away from home because of him, and now he's even trying to steal his reincarnated child?!" Tsubasa scratched his head with a wry smile, but before he could speak, he heard Gi Senju mutter quietly from outside the crowd, "Our Senju Clan's children are none of the business of outsiders..."
Upon hearing this, Madara abruptly turned his head, his Sharingan flashing a terrifying red light. "Old man, say that again?"
Senju Tenpuku quickly pulled his second sister-in-law back, forcing a smile as he tried to smooth things over, " Lord Madara, please calm down, how could we dare to compete with you..."
"Let's take turns hugging!" Tsubasa quickly smoothed things over, pointing to the three dumbfounded elders, " Lord Madara, Tenchu also has grandpas and grandmas waiting for a hug!"
Madara Uchiha hugged the child even tighter, his chin almost poking Tenchu's little head. "No way! This child has to live with me from now on. I want to personally teach him Ninjutsu! Tsubasa, you and Tian Uguisu should hurry up and have another baby, just so Tenchu Rinnegan!"
" Lord Madara!" Tsubasa almost spat out a mouthful of blood. "Who would have another child just to open someone's eyes?!" Mito seized the opportunity to pounce on him. The two of them pulled and tugged at each other in the corridor, while Tenshu in the swaddling Tenchu giggled and waved his two chubby little hands wildly in the air. The drool from his mouth soaked a large patch of Madara's clothes.
Sunlight streamed into the Ten Family villa, casting long Kageko of the farce. No one noticed that Tenchu, with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, watched the adults arguing heatedly with a smile. Suddenly, a mumbled "Madara" escaped from his pink lips, startling Madara Uchiha state, tears streaming down his face.
Mito Uzumaki sadly stopped fighting. That heartless bastard, the first name he called out after being reborn was Madara. She was genuinely heartbroken, the kind of heartless person no one could comfort...
