"Then, Madara-sama, I'm going down."
The Uchiha clansman in front of Uchiha Madara reported the mission situation and then retreated.
Uchiha Madara faced the departure of his clansmen with his usual calm expression.
However, when he was thinking about the benefits that his clansmen would bring to the clan if they completed this task and looking at their disappearing backs, he discovered something was wrong.
It was strange that when he looked at the backs of his clansmen going away, he actually felt a little confused.
At such a close distance, this is almost impossible for him who possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan.
At this distance, his eyesight should be good enough to clearly see every pore on his clansmen's bodies.
However, after sensing something was wrong, even though Uchiha Madara began to squint his eyes slightly, he still felt that he could not see clearly at the end of his sight.
Madara could no longer sit still. After repeated experiments, he had to confirm an astonishing fact—that his eyesight began to decline significantly.
He actually didn't pay enough attention to this matter before.
His heart suddenly became heavy, and Uchiha Madara quickly walked into his clan's collection room.
After reading a lot of clan records, he discovered a fact that made his heart even heavier.
There are also records of the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan in the history of the Uchiha clan.
While the Mangekyō Sharingan can bring enormous power to its owner, it will also gradually deprive the owner of his or her light.
This is the price of gaining this tremendous power.
Madara's breathing became heavy for a while, and the first thing he thought of was not his own eyes, but Izuna's eyes.
Izuna has also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and has fought with this eye several times.
Fortunately, the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan exerted by Izuna was not strong enough, so the damage to his eyes should not be too serious.
After thinking for a while, Uchiha Madara sealed up all the records about the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan so that Izuna would not be able to find them easily.
But there is still a problem. Although there is a tacit understanding between him and Hashirama, coupled with the existence of that guy Senju Tobirama, the collision between the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan has now completely turned into a battle centered on the four of them.
Even the battle between Senju Tobirama and Izuna was not as intense as his own.
But it will still allow Izuna to continue using the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Even if he only used the dōjutsu (eye technique) Amaterasu, his eyes would still continue to be damaged.
For the sake of his clan and his younger brother, Uchiha Madara didn't care how much damage he did to his eyes.
But he would feel heartbroken if his brother Izuna's eyes suffered even a little bit of pain.
Before, when he saw Izuna's eyes shed a line of blood and tears when she used the Mangekyō Sharingan's dōjutsu, it made him, as her brother, feel very distressed.
Now, knowing that this would cause permanent damage to Izuna's eyes, he, as a brother, felt even more remorseful and guilty.
How can I protect my brother's eyes so that they won't continue to be damaged by constant fighting like they are now?
After thinking for a while, Madara came up with some ideas.
He first found his younger brother Uchiha Izuna and told him that the clan had not yet found out the real culprit who had attacked the two groups of Uchiha people.
"**Izuna**, I need you to leave the clan first, then come back secretly, and then replace me in the clan and take charge of the overall situation.
I will be mixed in with a group of clansmen and leave the clan to carry out missions."
"I understand, brother. You want to lure those guys out, right? Don't worry, brother. I won't let them see any flaws."
Uchiha Madara never doubted the ability of his younger brother, Uchiha Izuna. After his smiling reply, the two brothers began to implement the plan.
Later, Uchiha Izuna replaced his elder brother Uchiha Madara and took charge of the clan.
And Uchiha Izuna has already left the clan in everyone's sight.
Looking at Izuna's aggressive look, I believe shinobi (ninjas) from other clans will know that the Uchiha clan has not given up the search for the previous murderer.
At this time, Madara also mixed in with the Uchiha clansmen who were out on a mission and left the clan.
Before, his younger brother Izuna showed off his aggressiveness and rushed out. Those murderers naturally knew that they should avoid this wave of clansmen.
Izuna also suggested to his eldest brother, Uchiha Madara, that he should go out with the second group of clansmen. The possibility of encountering enemy attacks at this time would increase.
But Madara felt that those guys would not be that stupid. Smart guys would often think a lot.
And while searching for the real murderer, Uchiha Madara also had another important thing to do immediately.
He doesn't have much time, so he needs to seize every opportunity.
…
"Young Chief, something bad has happened. Our people have been attacked!"
In the Senju clan, Senju Hashirama was happily learning from the Great Elder about various issues directly concerning the direction of the clan and its maintenance.
Although he looked confused and dizzy after hearing what he said, his expression was still very happy.
When they heard that some clansmen had come to report the situation, their faces instantly became filled with relief.
"What happened? Let me handle everything!"
The Great Elder was helpless when he saw that Senju Hashirama instantly changed from his happy, silly look to his energetic and serious look.
"If Tobirama were here, all these previous matters would have been dealt with long ago."
Whoosh whoosh!
Despite this, the Great Elder still followed behind Senju Hashirama and quickly came to the place where the clansmen were attacked.
"The attackers left not long ago, but they were too fast. Judging from the traces at the scene, our people were taken away by the other side without any chance to fight back."
When it comes to handling clan affairs, ten Hashirama are no match for one Tobirama.
But once the time comes to fight, the eldest brother, Hashirama, has a keen battlefield instinct that is no worse than anyone else.
"Everyone be careful, the enemy this time is very strong!"
Seeing that their pillar, Senju Hashirama, had such a solemn expression, the clansmen couldn't help but look very serious.
"It seems that the enemy who attacked the Kaguya and Uchiha clans before does exist.
They are now targeting our Senju clansmen!"
Such evil and powerful enemies must be eliminated completely before the clan can restore stability.
