July 47, 7th year of Konoha, early morning.

this day,

Far away in the Kingdom of Wind, Uchiha Ci parted ways with his teacher Orochimaru.

Simultaneously,

Just last night, the information that Uchiha Ci, the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan and a strong contender for the position of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, single-handedly destroyed the Kingdom of Loulan spread like wildfire and spread to all parts of the ninja world at an extremely unusual speed.

On the second day after receiving the news, Konoha Village's ally, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa of the Sand Village, rushed straight from Loulan to Konoha without stopping for almost the entire night.

then,

Submitted a [Letter of Surrender] to the Uchiha clan (not Konoha).

It cannot be said that the specifications and style are completely different from the one sent by the Fourth Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village some time ago, but they are exactly the same.

Then, Konoha Village became lively.

In order to welcome the Fourth Kazekage to visit Konoha for study, Konoha had no choice but to grit its teeth and make great efforts. It hung a banner at the gate of Konoha, arranged flower baskets, and invited a violinist from the village to play the song "Konoha's Peace" in a park not far from the village gate to show Konoha's love for peace. (The park where Sasuke knocked Sakura unconscious before she defected)

Even though the person involved, Rasa, had ignored the Konoha high-level officials and went directly to the Uchiha clan's territory as a guest.

This face-saving project ended up in vain.

But

This ceremony welcomed another unexpected guest.

now,

An old man with long gray hair, an aged face, wearing a dark blue gown, holding a death scythe in both hands, and with extremely cold eyes,

Slowly walked to the gate of Konoha Village,

"Haha~"

"This place is still the same as it was forty years ago. Nothing has changed."

The old man raised his head slightly, looked at the gate of Konoha, then walked past the gate, his eyes crossed the long street, and looked at the huge yellow-brown shadow rock with three human figures carved on it.

It was not until he saw the statue of the first Hokage, the still young but long-lost friend and nemesis, the Senju Hashirama, on the Shadow Rock that a ripple appeared in the old man's cold and indifferent eyes.

I couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic, and also a sense of comfort that belongs to the final winner.

The old man murmured,

"Hashi hot mom."

however,

At this moment, a very unpleasant shout came from the gate in the distance.

"Hey, old man, you are not allowed to bring sharp weapons into Konoha Village!"

At a young age, Kamijutsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu, who had saved themselves decades of detours and came to Konoha Gate Security Team for part-time internship, walked side by side.

The former looked at the huge death scythe that the old man was using as a cane, pointed at it, and reminded him,

"Even if it's used as a walking stick or a farm tool to make a living, it's easy to scare other people if you carry it on the street."

"Also, please follow me here to register your name when entering the village."

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, old man, what's your name?"

"You are so old, why don't I help you fill it out~"

The old man was silent for a moment.

I don't know if it was because he felt speechless, or because he felt detached from the passing of time as no one in this village remembered his face anymore.

After a long silence, he opened his eyes and said his name:

"spot,"

"Uchiha Madara!"

however,

When those scarlet eyes with three black magatamas circling around them opened,

However, no one around could remember this name anymore.

With Konoha's main gate as the center, everyone within a 600-meter radius who could be seen fell asleep for half a minute.

Until Uchiha Madara slowly stepped into Konoha Village and his back disappeared at the end of the street,

Just like puppets, being gently pulled by the practitioner's fingers, everyone present was suddenly awakened, but they could not remember a thing. They only felt themselves in a trance for a moment, and then they turned the page and returned to their daily routine.

#

Uchiha Ci couldn't have expected this no matter how hard he tried.

He considered Uchiha Madara to be an assassination target, who was too old and frail to roam around the world anymore.

Actually came to Konoha Village.

and,

The Uchiha clan is about to face the biggest crisis since its founding.

Holding the death scythe,

Uchiha Madara walked through the streets of Konoha with an expressionless face.

He walked through the gate of Konoha, went straight to the park in front of the village, and passed through the landmark buildings that he, Uchiha Madara, personally participated in designing and planning when the village was first built. He clearly remembered the locations of the buildings: the reservoir, the Konoha Theater, an unnamed street that was different from forty years ago and had only recently become prosperous, the newly opened Ichiraku Ramen restaurant on this street, the Konoha Tea Street near the Hokage Building, the flower shop of the Yamanaka clan (the place where old Madara was sad), and the street where he lived.

The violinist, who was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with being drafted into the army on a temporary mission, played the song "Peace of Konoha" more and more urgently!

Keep going south.

finally,

The old man stood in front of the Uchiha clan's territory on the south side of Konoha, on the side of the Minamiga River.

The purpose of this elderly man who is over 80 years old is also very clear -

He came here to look for his relatives, holding the Grim Reaper's scythe.

"Uchiha Ci, with your half-baked appearance now, you can't inherit my Moon Eye Project."

Recalling what he saw when he watched the last war in the Land of Lightning, when Uchiha opened his eyes,

Uchiha Madara suddenly raised his head and looked coldly at this huge clan land.

"Since the opportunity to open my eyes is revenge—"

"Then let me help you."

"See the true darkness, and deeply understand the endless chain of hatred that has spread for thousands of years in this hopeless world!"

"You can just hate me! Hate me! And then live on in your ugly state."

"Until you get the same eyes as mine and come before me."

"At that time,"

"I will make you sincerely approve of this Moon Eye Project that will give the whole world a new life."

Chapter 427: Uchiha Madara's Search for Relatives (Part )

At this moment, just as Uchiha Madara quietly reached the rear and was preparing to carefully consider the current situation of the Uchiha clan,

What is Uchiha Ci doing?

He received an invitation from the Great Toad Immortal.

As early as the eve of the outbreak of the Lightning Country War, Jiraiya approached the Uchiha clan, wanting to meet Uchiha Ci and tell him the instructions given to him by the Great Toad Sage.

And, invited Uchiha Ci to visit Myoboku Mountain.

now,

The sky is about to brighten, and the light of dawn lifts away the veil of night.

After Orochimaru left, they had a warm night of communication, sent their son Naruto away, and found Minato Namikaze, who had sealed everyone's memory.

He didn't come to seal Uchiha Ci's memory,

In fact, it is impossible to seal the memory of an Uchiha who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Will time and space be distorted because of this? Will there be a donut of time and space continuity? Or will Uchiha Ci, who knew about Naruto's existence in advance, change the future?

At this point, Minato no longer dared to think too deeply.

When he came to Uchiha Ci, in addition to inviting him back to Konoha as usual, he also, in front of Uchiha Ci,

Took out a psychic scroll.

"What did you say? The Great Toad Immortal wants to see me?"

"And you still say that bro is the child of destiny?"

"No, you really don't feel embarrassed?"

Just as Orochimaru, who thought he was a saint and a hero, was sent away, a giant toad sage came right after, swearing that Uchiha Ci was the so-called man of destiny, who would hold the Emperor's sword in his hand, wear the Emperor's jade on his chest, and lead the world onto a brand new path.

Uchiha Ci really saw a ghost.

Sometimes, he really wanted to open the brains of these people in the ninja world and study how their thought processes worked.

It's okay that he met a group of Uchiha who pushed him to the position of young clan leader when he debuted. After all, this clan has some mental problems.

but now,

You, Orochimaru, are an elite with high IQ, and you, Gamamaru, are also an old demon who has lived for more than a thousand years. Why, are you guys also starting to play such an awkward game?

Minato scratched his head. He also couldn't understand what Jiraiya's teacher believed in, that was to find the child of prophecy, but he was greatly shocked.

But, Mr. Jiraiya asked me to do that.

"The Great Toad Sage and Jiraiya-sensei must have their reasons for doing this."

Minato smiled awkwardly and handed over the scroll.

"The last time we met in Yunming City, you left so quickly that Jiraiya-sensei couldn't even talk to you. Then you disappeared for such a long time. There was no other way, so Jiraiya-sensei could only find me. I hope that when I meet you, I can pass on a message for you."
