The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Let’s not talk about Hanzo and Terumi Kaoru for now.

Just when the Shimada clan and the Senju clan were busy, the situation on the Uchiha clan's side seemed a bit strange.

The elders of the Uchiha clan are indeed contacting many surrounding ninja clans non-stop.

But as the backbone of the clan, Uchiha Madara has not appeared in front of the clan for some days.

These days, Uchiha Izuna has always been the one to represent Madara.

Although as the second-in-command in the family and Madara's most trusted brother, Izuna has no problem representing Madara.

However, since the clan leader has not shown up for a long time and the reason is unknown, some rumors inevitably spread.

"Lord Izuna, what is the clan leader busy with these days? The clan leader is always required to take charge of the situation."

After the high-level meeting, the second elder quietly approached Uchiha Izuna and asked in a low voice.

The second elder has always been a practical person. Although Madara and Izuna do not regard the second elder as a confidant, they are relatively close to him.

Moreover, the second elder is not bad among the elders, so the second elder has always acted as the lubricant between the clan leader brothers and the elders.

No, this time Madara is so mysterious that the other elders dare not ask Izuna, but the second elder can say a few words.

"Second Elder..."

Seeing her elder, Quan Nai couldn't help but feel a headache.

Although she had expected it, Quan Nai was still a little helpless when faced with these inquiries.

But whether it's a headache or helpless, there are some things that the fewer people know about, the better. If they don't have enough strength, knowing too much will harm them.

Therefore, facing the second elder who looked inquiring, Quan Nai could only whisper: "Don't worry about it. This matter is not suitable for too many people to know, but it is very important. Brother is just going to do this."

.”

Even though the second elder was experienced, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Quan Nai's answer.

However, the big reason why the second elder can gain some trust from the aloof brother clan leader is that he himself also trusts Madara and Izuna very much.

The second elder was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Is it more important than the Ninja Alliance?"

Hearing this, Izuna thought about the strange creature that led him to obtain Hashirama's cells, as well as the other party's various strange behaviors.

After shuddering for a while, Quan Nai said very seriously: "Yes, it is much more important, it is related to the life and death of the family."

If it were anyone else, he might doubt the authenticity of what Izuna said.

But the second elder trusted Quan Nai very much. When he heard this, he immediately stopped asking too much and said directly: "Then please tell Master Quan Nai to tell the clan leader that I will take care of the family's affairs, so that he can rest assured."

Trust is mutual. If the second elder is willing to trust them, Quan Nai will of course feel very comfortable. He immediately nodded and said: "If the elder is willing to do this, it would be great."

The second elder didn't say anything more, he just patted Quan Nai on the shoulder and left straight away, thinking about how to appease his colleagues.

Seeing the second elder leaving, Izuna shook his head, but couldn't help but think of what Madara told him.

In fact, the reason why Madara never showed up was because he was not at the station at all, so he naturally couldn't show up.

In the past few days, he has been running around the Land of Fire.

There was only one reason for him to do this, which was to visit the Uchiha clan's shrines scattered throughout the Land of Fire.

In the long history of the Uchiha clan, the ancestors of the family have left many shrines.

However, not every shrine stores stone slabs left by ancestors like Nanga Shrine.

Although no clan member has ever been able to read the contents of that tablet, it does not prevent the Uchiha clan from attaching great importance to it.

Naturally, every time the family moved, it would also move Nanga Shrine with it.

But other shrines are different.

As early as hundreds of years ago, the battles between the ninja clan were not fierce.

A powerful clan like the Uchiha actually does not need to move its base frequently.

But as time went by and under the pressure of survival, the Uchiha clan could no longer remain so aloof.

So he began to imitate other ninja clans and moved their base to ensure the safety of his family.

But as a result, many shrines scattered around the station had to be abandoned.

There are actually nothing precious in these shrines, but some of them have murals that record some secrets of the Uchiha clan.

These murals were all made by the owners of these shrines themselves, so they cannot be said to be precious.

As for the content of the record, unless you are someone who has a good understanding of Uchiha and the history of the ninja world, you will only feel confused after reading it.

Madara also accidentally discovered the information about these shrines in the family library.

After learning that a mysterious creature was targeting the Uchiha clan and their brothers, Madara had the idea of ​​visiting these shrines.

The mysterious creature Shenlong is invisible, and as long as the other party doesn't show up on its own initiative, Madara and Izuna have no way of attacking it.

But waiting passively like this is not his style.

After thinking about it for a while, Madara came up with a stupid idea.

"Since that creature is targeting us, it must be because the Uchiha clan has something worthy of his covetousness, which we don't know about."

Izuna recalled the scene where Madara spoke to her a few days ago.

"Brother, do you want to..."

Quan Na seemed to realize something.

"That's right." Spot nodded: "I want to check out the family's secrets. Maybe there will be unexpected gains. Those abandoned shrines are also a direction."

"But brother, let's start from the family library first. After all, we haven't read all the scrolls in the family yet." Quan Nai was a little worried about Madara's safety. After all, the main target of the strange creature should be Madara.

After listening to Quan Nai's suggestion, Madara shook his head and denied: "I'll leave the family to you. We can't let go of any clues. Otherwise, if we miss something, due to information asymmetry, we

On the contrary, it is easier to be deceived. As for that creature..."

The corner of Madara's mouth curled up and he said: "If he really dares to appear in front of me, I would like to test whether his strength is as many secrets as he knows..."

There was quite a bit of resentment in Madara's tone.

It is true that he wants to improve his strength, but it does not mean that he likes to be manipulated by others.

The other party's behavior made Madara inexplicably feel like he was being raised like a pig.

This feeling sucks.

Therefore, Madara had already made up his mind. If that creature really dared to bewitch him, Madara Uchiha, then even if he spit out a flower, Madara would still try to weigh how much he weighed.

Seeing Madara who had already made up his mind, Izuna could no longer persuade him and could only nod in agreement.

Thinking of Madara's powerful strength after transplanting Hashirama's cells, Izuna felt a little relieved.

"I hope there can be progress on Big Brother's side..."

Looking at the huge library in front of him, Quan Nai retracted his divergent thoughts, sighed, and walked in.
