Knocking on the door of Pupil Art in Yuanshen

Since the last battle with Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara has briefly become a little cheerful, and seems to have said goodbye to the shadow of losing Uchiha Izuna.

But soon, new problems came one after another, and they made Uchiha Madara's face become clouded again.

On the battlefield, with the return of Senju Hashirama, the Uzumaki clan gave their full support, and even small and medium-sized ninja clans such as Sarutobi and Akimichi chose to support the Senju clan.

The advantage of the Uchiha Madara clan has finally been declining for a long time. Not long ago, a blockbuster news caused the clan's public opinion to completely change its direction.

Compared with the militant faction, more and more people express that they are disgusted with war and they need peace.

This situation didn't happen for a day or two, but Uchiha Madara's power finally couldn't suppress this voice, and it finally found the right time to burst out.

The Hyuga clan, recognized as the third largest ninja clan in the Land of Fire, also chose to support Senju Hashirama to jointly create a peaceful new world and put an end to this chaotic Warring States Period.

The dark patriarch's palace had been suggested many times, but Uchiha Madara insisted not to allow the passage to light to the outside world.

"Are you saying that this census has 30% more people than the last time?" Uchiha Madara murmured to himself without joy or sorrow.

The census was proposed by Kamishiro Akitsuki. Specialized people would take the survey report and go door to door to ask if they were willing to continue the war. Based on the summary of the final data, they would report it to Uchiha Madara.

The last census was only a month ago, just this short month. Since the news was announced, the number of people who oppose the war has increased to a terrifying 90% compared to the previous 60%.

Shangshang Zhaoyue saw that half of him was hiding in the shadows, and suddenly understood why the room was laid out like this. Maybe it was because he wanted to have a room to quiet down when he was upset.

"..."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Uchiha Madara didn't make any move. He just waved his hand to indicate that he could leave, just like when they first met here.

At that time, they were just strangers to each other, but now they are masters and disciples who are better than father and son. As the closest person to Uchiha Madara, Shang Shang Aizuki unconsciously and consciously withstood a lot of pressure for him.

He bowed, then left with the paperwork in his arms. Before leaving, he thoughtfully closed the only door of the main hall, leaving the dark and silent environment to Uchiha Madara.

"What did the patriarch say?"

The moment Shang Shang Zhaoyue closed the door, the question came to her ears from behind. Shang Shang Zhaoyue paused, then slowly turned around and faced several old people.

From the first elder to the last seat, all the elders of the Uchiha clan gathered here, waiting at the foot of the steps outside the main hall. The weather-beaten old faces were solemn at the moment, like ancient stone carvings.

"The clan leader is thinking about countermeasures." Shang Shang Zhaoyue did not look down upon their coldness and said expressionlessly.

According to common sense, if he said this, these elders would say some unexplained cruel words and then disperse, but this time they seemed to be planning to be aggressive.

"...Time is running out, please help the patriarch." The person who spoke was the great elder. This old man who had always loyally supported the patriarch's lineage seemed to have recognized the reality.

His face was a little cold, and he no longer used the usual name for Shang Zhaoyue, but directly called him by his job title. This kind of formal name directly reflected his position.

In other words, it also represents the position of the elders. They came here to force the palace.

"There's no time, hurry up and get that kid Uchiha Madara out!"

"Make a choice...or hand over the position of clan leader." These decisive words were spoken by the seventh elder, which made the great elder's face flash with a hint of unbearability, but he still chose to let it go.

The other elders had no intention of speaking, but silence can often express agreement, which just confirmed Shangshan Zhaoyue's idea.

He didn't know if Uchiha Madara had heard it in the back room, but he had no choice but to use more violent methods to solve the problem.

"I don't care what you are jumping over the wall for. This is the clan chief's mansion, and you are just elders. When you speak... you'd better be respectful!" At the end of the sentence, Shangshan Zhaoyue's expression changed, and in the end she spoke every word.

warning.

"You, even if you wake up, you can't change the decline. A pair of kaleidoscopes can't reverse the general trend of the world." The seventh elder shouted intermittently while holding on to his trance.

He wasn't being arrogant, it must have been some huge change in the outside world that allowed him to ignore a new pair of Mangekyō Sharingan.

As the person who spoke most directly, the Seventh Elder was naturally the first to bear the brunt of Shang Zhaoyue's glare.

In Shangshang Zhaoyue's eyes, three black magatama intertwined with each other, and then differentiated into black triangular windmills, kaleidoscope levels pouring out like a mountain.

The impact of the pupil force made the seventh elder feel dazed. If Shangshang Zhaoyue had not meant to be cruel, the seventh elder would have fallen into the illusion created by the pupil force on the spot and could not extricate himself.

Shangshan Zhaoyue looked at the seventh elder coldly, gasping for breath like a drowning man being rescued from the shore, and did not continue to move.

"Now, can you tell me what happened?" he said.

The elders looked at each other, and finally decided that the great elder would explain.

"They issued an ultimatum. The day after tomorrow is the deadline. Uchiha... must either surrender or... get out of the Country of Fire!"

The great elder's tone gradually became heavier, and finally he finished his sentence tremblingly.

They naturally refer to the Thousand Hands Clan. Although Shangshan Zhaoyue had expected this, her heart still sank.

It is not difficult to see the pain of the great elder, and the other elders have similar expressions on their faces, conquering and being conquered.

The glory that the Uchiha clan valued was about to be wiped out. How could they, the older generation, not be the most heartbroken?

But they were clinging to glory like this, but they chose to force Madara Uchiha to surrender in order to preserve Uchiha's fire.

This kind of truth is very simple. Shangshang Zhaoyue naturally understood it. He closed his eyes in pain and said, "I understand..."

The elders said nothing more and left the patriarch's mansion one after another with complicated expressions.

Shang Shimozuki deeply feels his own powerlessness. He is very strong. With the kaleidoscope, he is also ranked among the strongest in the Kage level, but he is far away from existences that transcend the conventional like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

Still very different.

As long as it is not this kind of existence, the current situation cannot be shaken. Just like the reaction of the elders, even another pair of kaleidoscopes will not help.

Shangshan Zhaoyue took one last look at the clan chief's mansion and decided to do his last bit to add fuel to the flames. He wanted to stir up the situation and force Uchiha Madara to make a choice.
