Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

Chapter 506 We're going to do something big, yes, a big one
"You rebellious son, this is the kingdom your brothers worked so hard to build for you."

Uchiha Gin stopped the motorcycle, raised his finger and pointed at Izuna's nose, reprimanding her with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Are you doing this to us?"

"."

Quan Nai was silent. He knew how much money and effort his elder brother had spent to pave the way for him.

Once upon a time, he was full of passion and ready to fight for the village all his life.

However, with the permanent departure of his old enemy, Tobirama Senju, Izuna seemed to have lost the motivation to move forward. The Hokage throne that he had always coveted became less attractive in his eyes at this moment.

It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that his dream of becoming a Hokage was not a dream at all.

It was just a childish comparison between two kids who were mad at each other.

Of course, Izunai couldn't tell anyone else about these feelings. Facing Uchiha Gin's questioning, he spoke slowly with a serious expression and gave an impeccable reason.

"I'm sorry, cousin. I think the most important thing right now is to find my missing brother. As for Hokage and the like, they are not as important as my brother."

“These two things don’t conflict, do they?”

Uchiha Gin frowned. He would naturally worry about his cousin's affairs. The demon soldiers of Wave Country have already been dispatched in full force. It won't take long for them to turn the entire ninja world upside down.

Even if the person who kidnapped my cousin hides in the ends of the earth, they will be able to find clues about him.

On the other hand, the village is now leaderless, and Izumi is the most powerful person on the surface, with the bonus of being the Kage's assistant. With just a little effort, he can easily succeed to the position of the Third Hokage.

"I really don't have the energy to do that right now. Besides, there are some unstable factors within the family that need to be dealt with recently, so I really don't have the time to spare."

Seeing that Uchiha Izuna was determined not to be the Hokage, Uchiha Gin thought about it and did not continue to force him.

After all, he is the most caring Uchiha, how can he force others to do something he doesn't like?
"Okay, okay, I get it, but don't forget to participate in the voting in a few days. Jingzai is still waiting to take the position~"

Although my cousin gave up the position of Hokage, it does not mean that the Uchiha clan has lost everything. Uchiha Gin still has a backup plan.
"Don't worry, Jing is also my cousin, if I don't help him, who will?"

Izuna, who was relieved, heard Uchiha Gin's words, and immediately nodded vigorously, indicating that she would definitely help.

"By the way, from what you said before, is there a problem within the family?"

The two walked together for a while, and Uchiha Gin suddenly thought of what Izuna had just said, and asked casually,

"Cousin, how long has it been since you last attended a clan meeting?"

"Uh, the last time I participated, it was last time."

Unexpectedly, his casual question was met with a mocking reply from his little cousin. Uchiha Gin scratched his head helplessly, his eyes slightly evasive.
"I will definitely attend on time next time~"

Since his eldest cousin succeeded to the position of Hokage, he basically has not participated in the family's regular meetings. He vomited at all the meetings in his previous life, so now he subconsciously retches a few times when he hears the word "meeting".
"I really can't help you."

Uchiha Izuna shook his head and began to explain what had happened within the family recently.

"There is a group of people in the family who are not very peaceful. You should know the little guy who is the leader. He is Setsuna, the son of Liuying."

"That kid has never looked like a good person since he was young. It's not surprising that he could commit such a crime."

Recalling Uchiha Setsuna's appearance, Uchiha Gin nodded in agreement.

"So what did they do?"

For such disobedient children, they should be sent to Mr. Yin’s cozy little cell to experience that.

"In fact, they haven't taken any substantive actions, they are just spreading rumors."

"Speech? What speech?"

Raising his eyebrows in confusion, Uchiha Gin asked in surprise,
Uchiha Izuna's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"They claim that someone is secretly carrying out a secret genocide plan against the Uchiha clan."

"what?"

The Uchiha clan members are not idiots. Since the establishment of the village, the sudden increase in the sacrifice rate is bound to arouse suspicion from those who are interested. Among them, the person who is most concerned about this data is the Uchiha Setsuna mentioned just now.
As an extremist racist, he has always believed in the idea that only the Uchiha are supreme, and that the Uchiha are descendants of the Six Paths Sage, descendants of God, and are inherently superior to other peasants.

In his opinion, not only Konoha Village, but also the Land of Fire, and even the entire ninja world, should be ruled by the noble Uchiha clan.

They are such a noble clan, yet their member consumption rate ranks first in the village?
After years of investigation and evidence collection, Uchiha Setsuna, who was suspicious by nature, finally came to a shocking conclusion.

Someone is secretly cleaning out members of the Uchiha clan.

A strong sense of crisis arose from this. He was very proud and repeatedly put forward his opinions at the clan meetings, but they did not attract enough attention.
After all, during the Warring States Period, the sacrifice rate of the tribesmen was much higher than it is now, and living past the age of thirty was a luxury.
In contrast, nowadays, Uchiha old men and women in their seventies and eighties can gather at the village entrance at dusk to dance square dance. In the past, the Uchiha people would not even dare to think about it.

The repeatedly frustrated Uchiha Setsuna did not give up. Instead, he gathered a group of like-minded people and secretly established a small group to restore the Uchiha clan. He continued to secretly investigate the sacrifices of his clan members.

Unexpectedly, they actually found out something. According to Uchiha Setsuna, most of the clan members who died in missions went out alone, but there were also cases where they formed a team.

Among the members of the team, there are members of the Senju clan, and their proportion is not low.

As a traditional Uchiha, when Uchiha Setsuna saw the word "Senju", his mind exploded with a bang, and he instantly had an epiphany.
He realized the truth.

The mastermind behind the surge in the Uchiha clan's casualty rate is the Senju clan, with whom they have a feud.

It was all done by Qianshou!

In fact, Uchiha Setsuna really thought too much. The reason why the Senju clan looked for Uchiha when forming a team for a mission was simply to recognize the strength of this old rival, so as to increase the completion rate of the mission.
The Uchiha clan, who always had their eyes on the top of their heads, naturally disdained to form a team with other peasants, but if it was the Senju clan.
I can barely trust the other person with my back.

However, no matter how strong the combination is, it cannot withstand someone's large-scale transfer plan. Every clan member recorded on the transfer list will basically never see the gate of Konoha again.

"In fact, I have also been paying attention to the data in this regard. In recent years, the sacrifice rate of our tribesmen has indeed been very high, but it has recently returned to normal."

Of course it's normal. All the people on the big transfer list have been transferred, and those who remain in Konoha are basically all misfits. No wonder there is a weirdo like Uchiha Setsana.

"So what are you going to do with them?"

The "they" here refers to the small group headed by Uchiha Setsuna.

"What can I do? They haven't done anything to harm the family or the village."

Uchiha Izuna spread his hands and replied helplessly, although Uchiha Setsuna's spread of words affected the harmony of the village, but the other party did not do anything out of line, at most they were punished to face the wall at the Minamigagawa Shrine for a period of time. "Tsk tsk tsk ~ I don't know, I see that boy has a bad look on his face, who knows what bad things he is up to~"

Uchiha Gin is a purely visual animal. To put it bluntly, he judges people by their looks.
And Uchiha Setsuna perfectly inherited his father's sinister face, so Uchiha Gin naturally disliked that kid, otherwise he would not have slapped him in the butt since he was a child.

"If you say so"

What Uchiha Gin said was not without reason. The reason why Uchiha Setsuna and others did not dare to do anything out of line before was because of the existence of Senju Tobirama.
Now, the last guardian of the Senju clan has died on the battlefield. The situation of the Senju clan, which has already declined due to the debts of the entire clan, will probably become even more difficult.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before they completely disband.

As for whether Uchiha Setsuna will take this opportunity to retaliate against the Senju clan, it is unknown.

Uchiha Izuna frowned and thought for a while, and decided to keep these people under control, so as to prevent them from causing trouble at this critical juncture.
"When Fuyou comes back tomorrow, I will arrange for him to supervise these people."

After a period of trekking, the two finally returned to their tribe.

“Crackle, crackle, crackle~”

Before they got close, they heard the sound of firecrackers. Above the central square was a fire-style fireworks display that was only performed during the Chinese New Year. The lifelike flames soared into the sky, illuminating the entire tribe's land with a brilliant glow.
"It seems that no one is affected by the disappearance of the eldest cousin."

Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows, pointed at the tribesmen in the distance who were rushing to the feast with smiles on their faces, and complained to Izuna who was standing beside him,
"People laugh when they are extremely sad."

"Besides, didn't you tell me that my eldest brother is safe? I didn't hide it from anyone."

The reason why the Uchiha clan members can still be as relaxed as they are now is entirely due to the information conveyed by Uchiha Gin.
After all, he once demonstrated the magical Impure World Reincarnation technique in front of everyone, so the news from him that Uchiha Madara has not yet returned to the Pure Land is still very authoritative.

"Now that things have come to this, let's eat first~"

Uchiha Gin, who was about to continue complaining, suddenly smelled the aroma of honey-glazed eight-treasure rice pudding. His eyes narrowed instantly, and he called his little cousin to walk towards the banquet.

"Meet the deputy chief!"

The banquet had already started for a while, and the tribesmen were toasting each other, eating and drinking happily. When they saw Uchiha Gin and Izuna come in, everyone immediately stood up and saluted.

"Then play music, then dance."

Uchiha Izuna nodded slightly as a response, raised her hand and asked everyone to continue having fun, and the scene instantly became cheerful again.
It was obvious that they were so saddened by someone's sacrifice that they smiled out of extreme sadness.

In a corner of the banquet, a group of people gathered stealthily, led by a young man with a sinister face. It was Uchiha Setsuna, whom Uchiha Izuna had just mentioned.

"Everyone, now is the best opportunity to take revenge on the Senju clan."

Uchiha Setsuna looked around, and under the influence of alcohol, he clenched his fists viciously and said,

"Boss, if you give the order, I will go and dig up Senju Tobirama's grave!"

The loyal little brother No. 1 immediately patted his chest and stood up.

"Idiot, what's the big deal about picking on a dead man? If we're going to do something, let's do it big!"

Although he was very tempted by the suggestion of this subordinate, Uchiha Setsuna's inherent pride made him subconsciously reject the suggestion.

"Let's make a big fuss. Then let's go and find Senju Momoka's girlfriend? She should be the most powerful among the Senju, right?"

Brother No. 2 was stunned when he heard this, and immediately showed a smile that every man understands. He licked his dry lips, stood up with a red face and asked,
"."

Uchiha Setsuna covered his face helplessly. How could he accept such a bunch of misfits as his subordinates? They were either stupid and reckless, or perverts with their heads full of yellow garbage.

"Senju Hima!"

Gritting his teeth and uttering a name, Uchiha Setsuna's eyes gleamed. This illegitimate daughter of Senju Tobirama who suddenly appeared had successfully recognized her ancestry.

As the saying goes, a son pays for his father's debts. He must kill the new Senju clan's arrogance and let the Senju clan know that they, the Uchiha clan, are not to be trifled with.

"Boss, I'm going to dig her grave right now!"

"Boss, you really have a keen eye for talent. She is indeed a bit older than Senju Momoka."

"."

"Gudu~"

The silent Uchiha Setsuna raised his head and drank a glass of bitter wine, only then did he stop the dull pain in his heart.
It is really a blessing to have such subordinates.

"Snapped!"

Slamming the empty wine glass on the table, Uchiha Setsuna said with red eyes,

"We will take action tomorrow night. If we don't succeed, we will die!"

"Good boss!"

On the other side, Uchiha Gin, who was completely unaware of Uchiha Setsuna's little trick, was eating the honey-glazed eight-treasure rice on the table with great relish.
This glutinous rice topped with syrup and honey is one of his favorite delicacies.

"Cousin, didn't Sister Guang tell you recently not to eat too many sweets to avoid a spike in blood sugar?"

Izuna, who was sitting next to him, frowned and reminded him that he had also read Uchiha Gin's physical examination report, and his blood sugar level was indeed a little above the standard, and the doctor's advice was to control blood sugar.

"It's okay. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how could Xiaoguang know?"

Uchiha Gin, with his mouth full of sweet rice pudding, shook his head nonchalantly, not taking Uchiha Hikaru's words to heart at all.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, a white and tender little hand appeared in front of him and took away the remaining eight-treasure rice on the table. Uchiha Yinhu was so angry that his eyes widened and he slammed the table and stood up.

"Who is so bold as to snatch food from a tiger's mouth?"

You angered a lion!
"What are you looking at? Are you still eating? I'm here to take you away~"
