[NARUTO][Pillar Madara] His Country

However, he realized that if they had another battle in the future, it would be the last battle between them.

No.[-]

"...This is Senna-sama's wish."

Madara sat in the depths of the room, shrouded in gloom.No one could tell what he was thinking from that face, even the sadness and pain had already been subdued and hidden in the depths of those dark eyes.

Between him and the old man who was a Ninja doctor on the opposite side, there was a jar covered with a sealed spell.

"How long have you lied to me?"

"Sir Quanna's words... probably started after the first negotiation between you and Senshou." The old man said, "My words have been concealed since 19 years ago."

Spotted raised his eyes slightly.

"say clearly."

"Do you still remember that Master Quan Nai was always weak and sick before the age of five? That is a sign of blood-inherited disease. If the wife hadn't loved this child from the beginning to the end, maybe he would have been abandoned from the beginning. You know it too , This is what Uchiha has always done." The old man narrated plainly, he talked about these things about illness and death as if it were the simplest fact, "However, for every child, the fate of being a 'ninja' For the mother who was taken away, it may be a gift to have such a child by her side."

Madame listened silently.He doesn't remember much about his mother anymore: Those soft memories are too far away, and the time after he became sensible seems to have been spent with swords and even weapons.

"When you were ten years old and Quanna was five years old, your brothers died on the battlefield. At that time, my wife was pregnant, but because of the news, she gave birth prematurely."

"I remember." Madara whispered, "She passed away because of a dystocia."

"Yes, and no." The old man paused before continuing, "At that time, Madam said, if this life is going to die in the end, it is better to let it save at least one person."

Madara said nothing.Words flitted past his ears and fell into the void as if meaninglessly.Does all this have any meaning now?Everything he owns has slipped from his clenched fingers, never to return.

"At that time, I asked my wife why you did this. She told me that it was because Madara was a child who was afraid of being alone."

Madara closed her eyes.

"At this point..."

He squeezed out this short sentence with a hoarse voice, as if it was not his own.

"Sir Quanna just wants to leave his own strength to you. He said that you will not be willing to be subordinate to that person forever. And he wants his eyes to be able to witness your victory."

Madara was silent for a long, long time.

Just when the old man felt that Madara still wouldn't let go, he heard Madara's unwavering voice.

"Then let it go."

Uchiha Fire Core found that there was an inexplicable uneasiness in the clan.

Ever since Senna-sama was bedridden due to injury, this anxiety began to ferment slowly.Although for Madara, Quanna is just his younger brother who needs to be protected, but for the Uchiha clan, Quanna is an important link that can reconnect their overly strict and powerful patriarch with the general clan.Even for a power-hungry family, Madara's strength is too strong, and sometimes it even makes people feel that he has exceeded the limit of "human".But as long as you see Madara's expression when facing Quanna, no one will doubt that he is a gentle brother.

If the patriarch could show such a smile to him once, he would be willing to die immediately - at least the fire core has definitely heard such a sigh from the female ninja in the clan.

Therefore, after Quan Nai fell ill, the atmosphere in the clan involuntarily became tense.The official document sent to Madara has not been touched for many days in a row. In the end, several family elders headed by Quan stood up, and finally the Uchiha family will not fall into the predicament of no one to take care of.

But after the war developed all the way, Madara's closed door became even more influential.If there is no Uchiha Madara, even the always powerful Uchiha clan will not be able to beat the edge of Senju Hashirama.Conversely speaking, if one hastily abandons his important employer, Yano Nation, the reputation of the Uchiha clan as ninjas will also be damaged.The family elders closed their doors and held seemingly endless meetings, but except for a very small number of people, no one dared to leave the clan to go to the battlefield.

What will happen to the Uchiha after that?Fire Core doesn't know.Young people like them were raised as ninjas, educated only to follow orders from their clan.If you need to go to battle, put on your armor and go to the battlefield, if you need to kill, you can raise your sword, if you need to hide, you can take off your ninja clothes and sneak into the crowd-ninjas are people who endure like this and follow orders to live. Like their father, their father's father, and all the ancestors.

But the world is changing after all.

Under the roof people began to slowly talk: the war seems to be over.There will be only one daimyo left on this land, so where will the flames of war go after that?And where would we go without the war?

"That's the employer of the Qianshou family."

His father was sitting on the porch, talking slowly while knitting a rope in his hands.

"Looking at it now, maybe it should have agreed to form an alliance with Qianshou at the beginning."

"...That's not what you said at the beginning." Huo Nuan was a little bit annoyed - when Mr. Madara brought up this matter, most people didn't have this attitude.But after all, he couldn't directly accuse his father like this, so he had no choice but to say nothing.

His father looked down at the rope in his hand, as if the rope was more important than anything else, and he said after a long time:

"Who would have thought then."

So Fire Core couldn't say anything more.

Quanna passed away before the news of the flame country's daimyo committing seppuku came.Almost all the clansmen went to his funeral, even Madara, who had been secluded for a long time, also came.Wrapped in a black robe, he seemed to be a little thinner, as if he was no longer the patriarch in the memory of Fire Core, but just an afterimage of the previous Uchiha Madara.

He stood in front of Quan Nai's tomb, looking down at the square inch of his last relative with a blank expression, as if refusing anyone to approach him.

"The patriarch looks so sad."

Huo Nue heard someone whispering behind him.

"Miss Quanna is too... so pitiful. You are only 24 years old."

"If Senna-sama is gone, what should Madara-sama do alone..."

Except for one or two family elders who came forward to express their condolences, no one dared to cross the invisible boundary.The Uchiha people are too clumsy with words, Huohe thought, but there must be things that cannot be conveyed without speaking out.Then, what will they do...

It's a pity that until the end of that day, he couldn't muster up the courage to go to Madara's side and say something.

Bad rumors spread slowly after that.

- Senna-sama's eyes were gouged out.

——It was Madara-sama who ordered it to do so.

——In order to obtain greater pupil power, Madara-sama took away his brother's eyes.

No one actually said similar words, but similar rumors spread quietly among the clansmen.Some people may immediately reprimand, "How could such a thing happen", but when they turn around, they will discuss in a low voice with those close to them, "That thing can't be true."

"That's something that will lead to disaster." Fire Core's father said worriedly.

"There's no such reason."

"No one who takes away the eyes of a loved one has a good death. The gods will not forgive such things..."

"It's just a silly superstition." Fire Core finally couldn't hold back, and said loudly, "If you're talking about the former family elder who did the same thing—isn't it because he died alone because no one was willing to take care of him? "

His father sighed deeply and said nothing more.

"Besides, no one has any evidence that Madara-sama did such a thing—"

"Then go and see with your eyes. Haven't you been to the main house for a long time recently?"

"That's, that's because—"

"I also hope that Madara-sama will not do such a thing out of impulse." His father said, burying his head in the rope in his hand again.

Finally, Huohe went to the main house the next day.He hadn't set foot in the main house for a long time because of the change of location of the elders' meeting.And once there are no people who come and go, the originally small house will look extraordinarily empty.Huohe suddenly regretted why he hadn't come to see it sooner, but it's useless to regret now.

He passed the old doctor Ninja in the corridor, and the old man had an ominous smell of medicine, which made him frown.He didn't pay attention to these things, and hurried out of the room where Ban usually stayed:

"Master Spot."

"Fire core?" The man's voice returned to its usual calmness, "Come in."

He responded, saluted and walked in.

"I was looking for someone to ask about recent events."

Fire Core nodded: "There are indeed many things—" He raised his head as he spoke, but froze when he saw Madara's face.

The man's eyes were covered with heavy bandages.

"Sir Madame..."

"What's wrong?"

As Madara said, the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch slightly.

Fire Core heard his heart beating rapidly.Those rumors flashed through his mind so quickly that he didn't know what to do for a while.Would Madara-sama do such a thing?No, it's impossible.But his eyes—
