In the messy palace, the people who had just been in a chaos sat around the newly changed dining table again. Under the instruction of Uchiha Tajima, the original delicacies were replaced by desserts with a very high sugar content. The greasy smell made those who did not like sweets feel dizzy.
“Hula-hua-hua-hua-hua”
The guards around were methodically cleaning up the garbage created by Uchiha Tajima and others during the battle. As the protagonist who ended this farce, Uchiha Gin was now immersed in the pile of cakes and sweet drinks, with harsh chewing sounds coming one after another.
"Baji~Baji~Baji~"
Gumbling—
"The sugar has been replenished, and I feel comfortable!"
He raised his head and drank a glass of colorful sweet water. Uchiha Gin took a long breath, smacked his lips and savored the taste. A very satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Ayin, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your body?"
Uchiha Miao frowned. Just by looking at him, he could feel his blood sugar soaring and his insulin levels becoming disordered.In his impression, Uchiha Gin had suffered from severe hyperglycemia a long time ago. He thought that he would be more restrained for the sake of his health and follow the doctor's advice to control his blood sugar.But now it seems that Uchiha Gin did not take the doctor's words seriously at all. Instead, he increased his sugar intake. At this rate, even a normal person would become a sugar man in no time.
"Hic~ Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with my metabolism."
Uchiha Gin burped, leaned back in the chair comfortably, stretched out his hands and stroked his round belly a few times. In the astonished eyes of everyone, his belly, which was as swollen as a ball, shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally returned to the shape of eight abdominal muscles.
"When did you secretly learn the secret techniques of the Akimichi clan?"
Uchiha Miao raised his eyebrows. Being knowledgeable, he recognized at a glance that Uchiha Gin's digestion method was closely related to the secret techniques of the Akimichi clan.
"This technique is called Life Return. If you want to learn it, I can teach you."
Uchiha Gin, who was leaning on the chair, shook his head. He didn't want to be known as a secret technique thief.
The ability to quickly refine energy is a basic skill of the Otsutsuki clan. If the Otsutsuki's digestive and metabolic abilities are not strong, they will be choked to death after swallowing a chakra fruit.
"Forget it. I can't afford it."
Looking at the sweet pastries on the table, Uchiha Miao immediately declined Uchiha Yin's kindness.At his age, his blood sugar is already high. If he learns to eat and drink like Uchiha Gin, he might not live to the end of the year before he has to treat everyone to a banquet.
"Cousin, you've kept it from me for so long!"
Uchiha Izuna, who had been silent since sitting at the table, finally spoke."You actually did so many things behind my and my brother's back."
He looked at Uchiha Gin, who looked like a lazy fish, and could not connect him with the mastermind behind the secret transfer of the clan members."Izuna, don't blame your cousin. I was the one who asked him to keep his mouth shut."
Uchiha Tajima heard the resentment in his son's tone, and immediately explained for Uchiha Gin with a serious face, but in return he received a glare from his son.
"And you, father, do you know how long I have to cry at your grave every year?"
When Uchiha Izuna thought that he had been crying at the wrong grave for so many years, he felt so depressed. If the other party was not his father, he would have sent him an Amadeus meal long ago.
"I know."
"what?"
"I visit you and Madara every year on the anniversary of my death."
"you!"
Seeing his son's stunned expression, Uchiha Tajima blinked a little embarrassedly, and the flickering light of embarrassment in his eyes made Uchiha Izuna have the idea of killing his father.
"Little cousin, don't be anxious. My uncle has his reasons for doing this."
Feeling that a traditional Uchiha father-son relationship was about to unfold, Uchiha Gin had no choice but to act as a peacemaker and began to explain to Uchiha Izuna the reason why his uncle had faked his death.When he learned that his father had faked his death in order to get his elder brother to accept the blood-related Mangekyō, the resentment on Uchiha Izuna's face gradually faded, and there was a bit of inexplicable meaning in his eyes."Even if it's for my brother, father doesn't need to remain incognito for so long, right?"
Although the eldest brother obtained the strongest eyes of the Uchiha clan, he still lost to Hashirama Senju.Afterwards, the two of them joined hands to establish Konoha, and the Fire Country ushered in a long-awaited peace. At that time, their father could have shown up, so why should he live in this remote island?
"We do this purely for the continuation of the family."
Looking at his son who was full of doubts, Uchiha Tajima sighed and explained the interests involved.
"The Uchiha clan is doing quite well in Konoha right now. Even the Senju clan is no match for us."
Uchiha Izuna frowned slightly. According to the current situation, the Uchiha clan can be said to have a omnipotent hand in Konoha. If he had not intended to inherit the position of Hokage, the entire Konoha would be in the Uchiha's pocket.
"Haha, you should have seen the current situation of the Senju clan."
Compared to his son's short-sightedness, Uchiha Tajima has a longer-term vision.
"What is the situation of the Senju clan?"
Frowning and recalling, Uchiha Izuna's expression began to become complicated.Yes, the Senju clan, which once dominated the Uchiha clan, has fallen to the point of secretly colluding with the Ninja Alliance, and there is no trace of the arrogance they once had.
The entire family is now supported by only orphans and a widowed mother. If the missing Senju Hashirama never shows up again, the once prosperous Senju clan will probably disappear in the long river of history.
The situation of the Uchiha clan is similar to that of the Senju clan. Without the support of a powerful person who can make the final decision, the Uchiha clan, which possesses a large amount of resources in Konoha, will be devoured by the worm-like ninja alliance in just a few generations.
At this time, no one will care whether you are a hero in building the village. As long as you don’t have the former glory, you will be demoted to a roadside person and be humiliated by others.
"Konoha is not a village of the Uchiha clan after all. No matter how much we invest, in the end, we will only be making wedding clothes for those who have ulterior motives."
Uchiha Tajima stepped forward and patted his son's shoulder, who was lost in thought, and said earnestly,
"But, the Fire Country is the root of the Uchiha after all."
"Humph! Speaking of roots, our clan migrated from the Land of Lightning, so we have to go there to find our roots."
Noticing that his son was still struggling, Uchiha Tajima, who had seen through everything, snorted disdainfully."Ah? So I'm also a black dragon!"
Uchiha Gin, who was listening with great interest, suddenly cried out in surprise. Noticing that everyone's eyes were shifting to him, he quickly smiled and waved his hand, signaling his uncle to continue.
"Izuna, do you know why this country of waves is called the country of waves?"
After glaring at Uchiha Gin who was distracting from the show, Uchiha Tajima turned to look at his son who had a troubled expression.
"Hasn't it always been called the Land of Waves?"
In Uchiha Izuna's knowledge base, the Wave Country has always been called this name since its establishment, and it has not changed for many years."That was in the past. The reason why the current Wave Country is called Wave Country is because it is now named Uchiha."
Uchiha Tajima puffed out his chest proudly. The guards who were cleaning around him were touched by his words. They stopped what they were doing, straightened their backs, and turned their eyes to the confused Uchiha Izuna.The next second, a red glow appeared.
"This"
Uchiha Izuna was stared at by countless Sharingans, and his heart was trembling. No wonder after he got off the ship, he always felt that the residents of Wave Country he met along the way looked familiar. It turned out that they were all simply disguised tribesmen. The tribesmen who had been transferred here had long infiltrated the natives of Wave Country. With the bloodline spreading everywhere, the entire Wave Country has gradually been occupied by Uchiha.
If things continue to develop in this way, in a few decades it will be hard to see anyone on the street who does not have conjunctivitis.
"This is a place where we Uchiha people are in charge. We don't need to care about any Daimyo, nor do we need to intrigue with other ninja clans. This is completely a country that belongs to the Uchiha people."
He patted his son's shoulder hard. Uchiha Tajima became more and more excited, his round old face flushed.
"It belongs to the Uchiha country."
Muttering his father's words, Uchiha Izuna was shocked by this series of explosive news and lost consciousness.
After a moment, he raised his head, with a strange look on his face.
"Father, you are a daimyo now, so am I not..."
Uchiha Izuna, who had been a slave ninja all his life, woke up and found that he had become a noble lord.
"That's right, you and Madara are both the crown princes of the Land of Waves. From now on, stop clinging to the position of village chief and go home to inherit the kingdom your father has built for you!"
Uchiha Tajima, who had been pampered for many years, not only gained weight, but also developed a lot of temperament that only belongs to upper nobles."My elder brother and I, the crown prince?"
Uchiha Izuna was somewhat surprised when he heard this. He had also seen those arrogant nobles before, but he never thought that he would become one of them one day."Brother. That's right, brother!"
Uchiha Izuna, who was immersed in his dream of becoming a daimyo, suddenly came out of his fantasy and looked at his father with a bit more anxiety on his face."Father, my elder brother..."
"I've sent people to look for him. Don't worry. At least his life is safe now."
How could Uchiha Tajima ignore the disappearance of his eldest son? He immediately sent the elite troops of the Land of Waves to search for Uchiha Madara in various parts of the Ninja World.On the other hand, he also posted a bounty on the black market. Anyone who could provide any clues about Uchiha Madara would receive a handsome reward.
"How do you know that big brother is safe?"
Now that Uchiha Madara is missing, and Uchiha Izuna is not sure whether his elder brother is alive or dead, how can his father be so sure?
"Don't you have your cousin?"
Uchiha Tajima pursed his lips at the lazy Uchiha Gin beside him.
"Big cousin?"
Izuna was immediately confused."Ayin, is it time for today?"
Without continuing to explain to his son, Uchiha Tajima reminded him,
"Let me see, it's almost there."
Uchiha Gin scratched his head and stood up, walked to the open space of the palace, and under Uchiha Izuna's puzzled gaze, he fumbled out a test tube filled with green nutrient solution from the package behind him."That's it. Oh! I know!"
Watching Uchiha Gin unscrew the test tube very skillfully and take out the tiny tissue cell fragments inside, Uchiha Izuna suddenly realized.
How could he forget this!It’s all because Baimao’s death disturbed his heart!"Necromantic Technique: Reincarnation from the Dirty Earth."
Taking the live chicken handed over by the guard, Uchiha Gin placed it in the center of the hall, waving his hands rapidly, and after forming a seal, he slapped the ground, and countless tadpole-like spells crawled towards the lively rooster."Um, I remember this technique requires a living person, right?"
Uchiha Izuna looked at the rooster covered with ashes from the Pure Land, and his eyes twitched slightly. He was deeply impressed by the Impure World Reincarnation, but Uchiha Gin seemed to have made some magical modifications to the original version."It's okay. Now Kun is more popular as a sacrifice than a human being."
After performing the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, Uchiha Gin turned around. Behind him, the big rooster that was alive and kicking just now had died.
"How's it going, Yin?"
"Pure Land has no reaction, which means my cousin is safe."
"That's good, that's good."
Uchiha Tajima breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As long as he was still alive, there was hope of finding him.
"My little cousin, do you know why we chose to tell you the truth at this time?"
Uchiha Gin handed the dead Kun to the guards beside him and told them to add more honey when grilling. Then he walked in front of Uchiha Izuna and said with a serious expression,
"Could it be that Father?"
Uchiha Izuna's heart tightened. Could it be that his father had some health problems? He was worried that no one would take care of the Land of Waves, so he told him the truth.
"Yes, it's my uncle."
"thump!"
As soon as Uchiha Gin nodded, Uchiha Izuna performed a silky sliding kneeling, hugged Uchiha Tajima's sturdy calves, and burst into tears."Father, I am an unfilial son. If you have any last wishes, please tell me. All you need is to pass on the throne to me."
Just when he was wondering why his son was so skilled at kneeling, he heard the rebellious words from the other party. Uchiha Tajima was so angry that his eyes turned black. He immediately used an Uchiha flying kick and sent the "true feelings" Izuna flying dozens of meters away."You idiot! Get out of here!!!"
"what?"
Uchiha Izuna turned over and blinked in confusion. Could it be that he had misunderstood?
This shouldn't be the case. If father wasn't about to die, why would he reveal the inside story to him?
"My little cousin, you are too impatient. My uncle is still in good health."
Uchiha Gin shook his head with a click of the tongue. The dragon fang he gave to Uchiha Tajima alone was enough for this old man who was active in the Warring States Period to live until his great-grandson was born and enjoy the happiness of four generations living under the same roof.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I admit that I was a little excited just now. Please don't blame me, father."
Knowing that she had guessed the wrong answer, Izumi immediately came over with a shy face, trying to awaken her father's dormant affection.
"Humph! If it weren't for the fact that you are so rich and outstanding, I would have banished you, the rebellious son, to my hometown to look at the blood pond long ago."
After glaring at his son who was full of flattery, Uchiha Tajima turned his gaze to his well-behaved grandson beside him, his eyes full of admiration and love.
"Well, father, what you mean is not..."
"Yes, I want Fuyuki to inherit the throne of the Great Lord of Wave Country."
"what?"
What about me? (End of this chapter)
