At night, amid the noisy chirping of insects, a man sat on his knees at the table, looking through the book-like things in his hand, and occasionally took out a pen and circled it.

The oil lamp on the table burned silently, reflecting the man's face, and the long black hair had a natural and unruly steepness, some of which hung down, covering his right eye, but it didn't seem to affect his vision. There were two tear-stained depressions on his thin cheeks, and the sides of his mouth were wrinkled in the twilight of the old man.

At this moment, he is sitting there, doing his own thing without distractions, his heart is like water, without a trace of wrinkles!

A cherry blossom petal was gently pushed to the table by the wind,

The man put down the pen in his hand, gently picked up the petals, and sandwiched them into a book.

"Is it already April?"

He said to himself. Then he got up and moved his wide black robes to the courtyard.

Sure enough, the cherry blossoms have been quietly blooming for several days!

As soon as his eyes closed and opened, three black magatama appeared in the man's blood-colored eyes, and the speed at which the petals fell became extremely slow in his eyes.

In this way, he leaned against the lamppost and admired the flowers at night.

"Tajima-sama."

The servant greeted tentatively, in a small voice, knowing that Tajima was a man who liked to be quiet.

"Tajima-sama?"

Probably because there was no response, the servant's voice was louder, and his tone was questioning.

"Well, is Murata here?"

Uchiha Tajima responded, and there was no emotion on Furui Mubo's face, which made the servant breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Murata-sama is waiting for you in the front hall, saying that I have something to report to you!"

"Let's go!"

The servant followed behind Uchiha Tajima and mentioned to Tajima, saying that the two young masters seemed to be preparing something for Tajima.

"Got it."

Then Tajima himself pushed open the door, the layout of the front hall was somewhat simple, a set of tea sets and a few cushions, Murata knelt and bowed to Tajima who entered the door.

"Is there any progress in the interrogation?"

Tajima obviously knew Murata's intentions, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he asked straight to the point.

The interrogation of the Thousand Hands has only begun today, and they have been locked up half-starved before. One reason was to want his companions to get him out and take the Uchiha's patrol to their stronghold, so make sure he doesn't get out of his way. Another reason is to use hunger, tiredness, and fear to weaken his will defenses!

"That guy's identity has been determined, his name is Senju Yuno, he is a well-known genius in Senju, and he has never been on the battlefield! So I couldn't confirm his identity at the first time. ”

"What kind of genius is it if you haven't been on the battlefield?" Uchiha Tajima showed a hint of disdain. "In this day and age, there is only one way to measure genius! That's killing! The Uchiha's verification field will always be a battlefield! ”

"You're right! That guy really wasn't a genius, he was just a tool that was picked up and used in a thousand hands for internal fighting! ”

"Well, let's continue to report the results of the interrogation!"

"Yes, just now, I used illusion to hypnotize Senju Arino, asking him to explain their plan and accomplices, but it failed!"

"Huh?" Uchiha Tajima put down the teacup, thought for a moment, and said, "Technique?" ”

"Yes," Uchiha Murata grimaced, "we let go of him and let him write it down, he holds a pen and can't write a word!" Later, we sent someone disguised as a thousand hands to rescue him, and when we talked to him about their plan, he was immediately speechless and unconscious! ”

Uchiha Tajima didn't speak, and his mind turned to another thing along the technique - Uzumaki!

The Vortex clan also has a long history, as a distant relative of the Thousand Hands clan, it has the same long life span and strong physique as the Thousand Hands, different from the blood inheritance boundary Mu Dun, the foundation of the Vortex passed down from generation to generation, is a magical sealing technique! And what evolved from this is a variety of functional techniques, including the crafting of scrolls and detonation charms, perception, and defensive enchantments!

Having such an ally for a generation makes it very difficult for the Uchiha to fight against the Thousand Hands! The only good news is that the Vortex Village is located on the eastern coast, and it is impossible for them to support Senju without reservation a few days away! Of course, this is also true for the enemies of the Vortex!

The sealing technique that makes people completely unable to reveal certain information is extremely complicated! But for a vortex who has attained something in sealing, it is not difficult!

Uchiha Tajima had to start worrying! Are the Uzumakis all involved?

Uchiha Tajima felt a little uneasy.

"Tajima-sama, I'm so sorry!"

Uchiha Murata bowed his head deeply, unable to hide the guilt on his face!

As the head of the Uchiha patrol, he actually let people sneak into the mansion while the patriarch was away! If it hadn't been broken by Madara Uchiha, the patriarch would have rushed back in time and killed one of them! The consequences are unimaginable!

Even if such a thing happened, the patriarch still trusted himself and entrusted himself with the task of fishing out his accomplices, but he did not produce the results he deserved, and he did not even get the key information for the final interrogation!

Uchiha Murata believes that this is his dereliction of duty! He has betrayed the trust of the patriarch!

"So what?"

Uchiha Tajima frowned, and his voice was indifferent!

Uchiha Murata said loudly, "Please be sure to give me the punishment I deserve!" ”

The room was quiet for a while, and the cup of tea in front of Murata was always placed, not being drunk, and gradually losing its temperature!

Because of the reason for bowing his head and bending over, Murata was half a body lower than Tajima, so Uchiha Tajima looked at Uchiha Murata condescendingly.

When Uchiha Tajima first met Murata, at the age of seven, he saw the same cold color on the face of the child who was younger than himself, and Murata has been by his side for the next twenty years......

Retainers? No, a dear friend!

But as the head of a clan, if you can't be fair and just, it will inevitably attract the criticism of those clan elders!

"Then, I'll punish you here!" Uchiha Tajima slammed the teacup on the table!

"Uchiha Murata!"

"Yes!" Uchiha Murata was shocked in his heart!

"Because of your dereliction of duty, the spy infiltrated the Uchiha, as a punishment for you, your son, the Uchiha Fire Core! From tomorrow, live in the Patriarch's Mansion as Madara's servant! You can't meet privately without my permission and Madara's permission! ”

"Since you didn't take good care of my mansion, then if your son is here, I think you will be even more concerned!"

Uchiha Murata looked stunned!

"Patriarch! What kind of punishment is this! ”

This is clearly for Young Master Madara to inherit the Uchiha clan in the future! Nominally a servant, in fact a cronie!

"Murata! Shut up! ”

Uchiha Murata closed his mouth bitterly.

"You made me almost lose a son, so I also want you to experience what it's like to miss my son! So be it! ”

After saying that, Uchiha Tajima waved his sleeves and left the front hall.

After meeting Uchiha Murata, Tajima received a gift from Madara and Izuna for himself, and Uchiha Tajima was a little surprised that it was actually a birthday gift!

Madara sent a short knife that he had sharpened himself, but Izuna, who has always preferred swordsmanship, gave him a pen!

When he saw the two gifts, Uchiha Tajima couldn't laugh or cry, but he still kept a serious face.

Madara's short knife was sharpened, but apparently he didn't know how to forge a weapon, it was made from a small piece of pig iron, sharp, but too easy to break, and the weight of the blade and hilt was uneven!

And the pen made by Izumi is finely made, and it should be that the hair is degreased with soaphorn, and Uchiha Tajima is sure that there are still many failures in Izuna's room at the moment! But if you're not mistaken, the hair should come from a dog's tail......

Seeing that the two brothers were looking forward to being praised, but they didn't dare to show it too obviously, Uchiha Tajima was still ruthless!

"Whose idea was this?"

Uchiha Tajima's sharp shouting made Madara and Izuna startled!

They don't quite understand that even if they are not satisfied with the gift, the father will not be angry, right?

But Madara still stood up one step ahead of Izuna, in short, admit his mistake first!

"Father, this is my own opinion, and it has nothing to do with Izumi! Izuna was brought here by me! ”

"It's not like that!" Izuna hurriedly said, "Father, it's all my idea!" Brother, he's ...... I was tricked into helping me halfway through! ”

Uchiha Tajima sneered: "You two! Dare to lie in front of me! ”

Izuna, who was younger, was suddenly frightened and turned pale.

"Father, I'm not lying, it's true ......"

"Shut up!"

Madara was just about to continue to argue, but he was scolded back by Uchiha Tajima!

"I don't care which of you thinks! You say it's a birthday present? Scold! Whose birthday? ”

Izumi was a little confused, "Father, it's your ......"

The words came to an abrupt end.

Izumi's mind went blank, and she had mistaken her father's birth diary......

Obviously, it was a day and a day, and it was impossible to count it wrong, but ...... It's clearly wrong!

Not only did I remember my father's birthday wrongly, but I also caused my eldest brother to be scolded by my father!

"Izuna."

Madara also understood, and gently called Izuna's name, trying to comfort him.

"Being an Uchiha! You can't even remember the date! This kind of behavior is simply insulting to the pride of the Uchiha! ”

Uchiha Tajima threw the pen and knife back.

"Izuna! If you can't even remember the date wrong, use your pen to remember it! When your pen breaks, I forgive you! ”

"Father, this is too ......" Madara Izuna felt unfair.

"I accept!"

"Izuna!" Madara turned his head and looked at Izuna in disbelief.

Don't you understand, how long does it take to write off a pen?

Uchiha Tajima felt a little unbearable in his heart, and simply turned his head to look at Madara!

"Madara! As an older brother, you can't correct Izumi's mistakes! ”

As he spoke, Uchiha Tajima took out two knives and threw them at the two.

"When you can use this knife to break the one in Izuna's hand, I will forgive you two!"

"Two people?" Madara's voice sounded like a surprise fawn.

Uchiha Tajima is like a ruthless goshawk!

"Yes, two people! But, until then, you can't fight the enemy with your dagger! Because of your stupid mistakes, your knife is disgraced by it! Not even qualified to kill! Do you understand? Answer me! ”

"Understood!"

Madara yelled loudly! The right hand is holding the scabbard tightly! Secretly determined that he must let Izumi get his father's forgiveness, and he will never let his sword be disgraced again!

Madara was only a child under six years old after all, and he believed in such a reason. Uchiha Tajima was glad that Madara didn't use that knife when he faced the two spies that night! If Madara fights the enemy with that unqualified knife, there is a high probability that he will be defeated because the blade is broken!

"Let's go back and reflect on it!"

"Yes! Father! ”

"Yes! Father! ”

Uchiha Tajima returned to his desk and calculated it, and couldn't help but laugh, he knew why Izuna had miscalculated. My birthday is clearly March 28, but now it's April 1.

"Izumi, this little fool!"

I counted 12 months from the day of my last birthday, but I counted all the months except February as 31 days!

Uchiha Tajima knows his two sons very well, Madara admires strength, and has courage and courage, but he attaches too much importance to the result, but ignores the process, does not care about some small things, powerful, cold and unloving!

Izuna, on the contrary, is smart, rigorous, detail-oriented and very patient, knowing how to care for others and care about their feelings more than Madara! The only deficiency is that it is not strong enough now.

"Madara, Izuna, I received your thoughts!"

"Father is really looking forward to the day when the two of you lead the Uchiha!"

"This time, just forgive me! Sorry......"

Uchiha Tajima looked at the night sky and muttered to himself.

At this time, on the other side of the night, Iwa knelt on the ground with a sad face, watching the family eat at a table not far away!

He remembered that the stones on the ground were laid by himself......

"Hiss~"

The rock hurt and couldn't help but gasp the cold air!

Quietly supporting the ground with his hands, trying to raise his knees slightly, he saw Qiu's cold eyes!

Uchiha Iwa looks like China and Suzu cast a rescue look.

However, the two of them looked like we didn't see anything, staring intently at the food on the table......

Iwa silently lowered his raised knees.

Why couldn't I think about it in the first place? Isn't the washboard smellier than the stone?

"Alright, let's get up and eat!"

Hearing the head of the family speak, Yan Rumeng was pardoned, and climbed up to the dinner table faster than a monkey! Eat as if nothing had happened!

Suzu and China gave them a puzzled look.

How did you manage to do it with such a big contrast?

The Uchiha returned with a bland gaze.

As the head of the family, don't I want to lose face?

Suzu and China continue to eat.

Householder...... It's good if you're happy!

The atmosphere of the whole dinner was quiet and eerie, except for Qiu who said a few words, everyone else made eye contact the whole time.

After the meal, Suzu began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and China was coaxed back to her room by Suzu.

Iwa began to talk about what happened today in a rather proactive and candid manner! Eager eyes and the death row prisoners who are looking forward to getting their sentences commuted have to fight!

Iw: At least reserve the right to sleep in the house tonight!

Although Iwa once again concealed the matter of the mother and son, thanks to Iwa's initiative, China, who pricked up her ears and eavesdropped behind the window, finally learned the content of the conversation between Iwa and Uchiha Murata!

Even though it's been a week since this incident,

China gently closed her eyes and began to reconstruct the whole story of this time in her mind.

Time, the night of March 25

Two spies infiltrate Uchiha Tajima's mansion to steal his fourth son, and then the first accident occurs and is discovered by the patriarch's eldest son!

That is to say, when they infiltrated, the Uchiha patrol did not realize that the patriarch Uchiha Tajima was not at home!

It's intelligence!

The fact that the two spies had such a successful infiltration plan meant that they not only knew the time, route, and interval of the patrol, but also knew the whereabouts of the patriarch, Uchiha Tajima, in advance!

After being broken by the eldest son of the patriarch, according to Iwa's words, he injured two guards and began to flee, but at this time there was a second accident, and Uchiha Tajima heard the movement and rushed back too quickly!

The reason why it was said to be an accident is because the intelligence of the two spies must have the direction in which Tajima left Uchiha, so the direction of escape must be the opposite, and even so, one person was killed by Tajima! So it's not that they didn't escape fast enough, but that Tajima came back too fast!

The surviving man began to flee and then went to the patrol area of Iwa, Shibuya, and Shino, which was made because their homes were all nearby. On the basis of intelligence, the spy could reasonably avoid the three of them, and in the end he was caught! Because at this time, there was a third accident - the mother and son who had not yet returned home!

The mother and son's cries for help attracted Iwathem, and in the end, Shino died, and the spy was arrested!

According to the experience of Yan fighting with him, there is a high probability that the spy comes from a thousand hands!

And now, the biggest question facing the patriarch Uchiha Tajima is where does the other party's information come from?

So Uchiha Murata has been trying to fish out more people with that living spy these days!

Such an intelligence leak is an incomparably headache for a ninja sect! This would make the Uchiha's internal safety net look like a tattered sieve! Presumably, the patriarch has been busy with replanning the patrol these days!

A question suddenly came to mind!

Almost everyone thinks that the two spies are from a thousand hands, on what basis?

If...... Didn't the two spies both come from a thousand hands?

According to Yan, the blood of a thousand hands is a wood escape, but not every thousand hands can awaken a wood escape, and the general thousand hands use earth and water escape! There are many ninja sects that can also use water escape...... For example, ape flying, such as feather coats, such as whirlpools, and even flag trees based on swordsmanship and thunder escape, there are also some people who can use water escape!

At this time, China did not know that Sarufei, Uzumaki, and Qimu all had obvious physical characteristics.

It's not a wandering ninja, a wandering ninja with no family background can't bear the anger of a great ninja clan patriarch!

The one who is alive is most likely from a thousand hands, but the one who died may not be! After all, dead people can't speak!

If those two people are not from the same family, then things are even more complicated! Sell the information to people from two different families!

This means that the person who has the information is either from the Uchiha or does not belong to any family, but is just a powerful intelligence peddler!

So what is his purpose? Revenge on the Uchiha? Or is it to show off your ability to sell at a price?

China's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, the nerves in her brain ached, and even China could feel a trace of blood!

"Hiss~" China gritted her teeth.

What a hassle!

China's brain contains the spiritual power of two lives, and the brain itself is not fully developed and mature physiologically, and by the age of five, the brain can be equivalent to the brain capacity of an adult!

Thinking for such a long time inevitably puts a burden on the brain!

China has very few bonds in this new world, she doesn't care about the life or death of that spy, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with the person who betrayed the intelligence! But if these things threaten the safety of the other three people in the family, she must take precautions!

Anyway, this matter needs to be further understood!

Then China heard a voice from the courtyard.

Iwa: "In the future, if Captain Murata comes to visit, you remember to let China hide." ”

Autumn: "Huh? Didn't you say that Captain Murata wasn't bad? ”

Iwa: "I didn't mean that, ahem, Captain Murata has a son named Firecore!" I'm five years old! ”

Autumn: "Hmm...... Well?!! ”

Murata: ......

I can't see my son myself, and I still have the heart to find my daughter-in-law?

China: ......

I'm here for your safety, and you're thinking about my life's work?

This night, when someone makes a certain decision! An individual named Uchiha China in the ninja world, her fate line has forever deviated from the trajectory and gone in an unknowable direction!

In the original history, Uchiha Sena would marry a man named Uchiha Fire Core, who would be Madara Uchiha's personal guard and would die in the war at the end of the Warring States period, leaving behind a son named Uchiha Tsuna!

This child will follow his father's will and unswervingly support Madara Uchiha until his death! In a village called Konoha that appeared later, he constantly intensified the conflict between Uchiha and Konoha!

In the end, in one night, the Uchiha will die in an instant at the hands of two Uchiha juniors!

One is named Itachi Uchiha, and the other ...... Self-proclaimed Madara Uchiha!
