Early next morning.

Uchiha Madara lay prone on the bed, contentedly kissed his wife's obviously swollen lips again, and then went to find his family for morning exercises in high spirits.

The moment Uchiha Izuna saw his brother, he immediately caught the extremely satisfied expression on the latter's face, and raised his eyebrows silently: Huh? Tsk, what is doubly proud of the spring breeze? That's what I'm talking about. Originally,

I'm also worried that my sister-in-law won't be able to convince her brother on her own, but now it seems...as long as she's willing to pay the sweetener, nothing is impossible.

Uchiha Madara naturally noticed his brother's teasing gaze, but it was okay. He didn't care. He didn't do anything bad anyway. He was being intimate with his wife, so there was no shame in it.

after……

Took some time.

Uchiha Izuna invited his brother to the side and asked with a smile: "What? Brother, don't you plan to go in person?"

"Well..." Uchiha Madara thought for a while and replied, "I only promised that she would consider it."

This is very honest and trustworthy.

Uchiha Izuna: "???" No, you are so happy just because you agreed to consider seeing my brother, so if you just agree, wouldn't Sister Hitomi have to pay a price that can make you ascend on the spot?

The smiling cat, who had a pure face but didn't seem to be very pure, complained secretly in his heart, and then said: "Brother, why don't I go for you."

"No need." Uchiha Madara replied instantly.

"What?" Uchiha Izuna raised his eyebrows again, "Don't you worry about me doing things, brother?" If he goes, he will definitely look for medicinal herbs wholeheartedly. Although... well, he is not very proficient in this aspect.

"Of course not." Uchiha Madara looked at his younger brother with a smile and replied sincerely, "It's just, Izuna, if there is no danger, there is no need for you to go; if there is danger, how can I be willing to let you go for me."

Uchiha Izuna: "..."

He had to say that he felt that when his brother's true feelings were revealed, it was indeed shocking. At this moment, he truly felt that even if he died for his brother, it was worth it. He was just worried that the brother left behind would be sad.

Even if Sister Tong and the children are here now...

But for my brother, the loss of any relative is probably irreparable.

After all, the seemingly rough and wanton brother actually has a delicate and even delicate side.

"Then this matter..."

"Anyway, there will still be some time. Let me think about it again." Uchiha Madara replied, "When we get to the agreed time and place, we can discuss it with Hashirama and make a decision together."

When Uchiha Izuna heard some people's names, he immediately showed an expression of disgust, but he had to admit that this was the right decision. After all, it was best for Uchiha to send people who were equal to the Senju. As for other ninjas

, Well, don’t think about it for now.

But there is no doubt——

Uchiha Madara has decided to use this gathering as an opportunity for "four or even five people to get together." In other words, this is very good. Even if he brings a group of people to find Hashirama, it seems reasonable to outsiders.

After all, it makes sense to attend the "Gathering at Kyōrei Shrine".

What's even better is that the gathering place chosen by the Kyōrei Shrine this time is near the Senju and Uchiha clans, and it is within the range that both clans can radiate. Therefore, as long as they make up their mind to work together to maintain order, everything should be fine.

stable.

It is precisely because of this...

"But, can you take us with you?" Uchiha said in surprise.

"Yes." Uchiha Madara folded his arms and nodded, "If you are well-behaved enough." With such a distance, even if something happened, the clan would still have time to support him. Of course, with him and Hashirama here, what could happen?

?

Besides, Hitomi is so smart and sharp that she can definitely participate in the conversation and help make plans to gain benefits.

"I'm super good~" Uchiha Oichi replied not very self-awarely, but he couldn't help but worry, "Is it really okay? If it's too troublesome and risky, then just forget it."

"It should be fine." Uchiha Izuna thought for a while and replied, "At that time, Hui and Yao will be together." He looked at his brother's sister-in-law's shining eyes and added, "Aya and Kenya

Let's go together." When he goes out here, he may bring 60% of the main force. Since he and his brother are not very good at entering that space, it is the safest for Sister Tong and the others to follow them.

"Yeah, yeah!" Hojo Aya nodded vigorously.

Hojo Ken nodded slightly.

"Great!" Uchiha Yao showed a delighted smile.

Uchiha Teru could have followed him, and now seeing his family members together, he was naturally very happy.

at the same time.

Naturally, the Senju clan also received a similar invitation. After all, just as Uchiha Madara thought -

If you are not an Uchiha, you are a Senju, and if you are not a Senju, you are an Uchiha.

Just like Madara Uchiha's decision, Senju Hashirama readily accepted the invitation. After all, the Senju clan had never failed to make an invitation to the Kyōrei Shrine, and this time was no exception. At the same time, he really wanted to borrow

I took the opportunity to meet my friends and have a good chat with them.

Senju Tobirama had no objection to this, but he also guessed one thing...

"Brother...do you want to take Sister Qianshi and the children with you this time? After all, this gathering is very close to the Senju Clan's residence. It is indeed a good opportunity for the children to gain experience."

A gathering that only happens once every few hundred years. If you miss it, you will not be able to see it for a lifetime or even for generations to come.

If he thinks so, then Madara Uchiha...

Senju Hashirama said "Hmm" and said with a smile: "Bring Kazuo and Sachiko with you. As for Qianshi...she is still pregnant and should not be moved. I will go back and discuss it with her. If she is willing to go,

Go, if you don't want to, just take good care of yourself within the clan."

"Brother, that's what you said." Qian Shu Tobijian thought for a while and felt that this was also appropriate. But he felt melancholy in his heart, that is to say...

Is it very likely that he will meet that woman?

Oh……

Of course he couldn't kill her in full view of everyone.

But, similarly, if he can still remain calm in front of everyone, what about her?

Until now, he was not sure whether he wanted to see it or not, whether he wanted everything to be revealed or not. After struggling for a while, he decided not to care about it. Anyway, he had never done anything to be ashamed of, so

, and he should not be left to bear all the consequences that follow.

The same goes for other ninjas.

To use a game analogy, Jingling Shrine is a "treasure hunt book" that is refreshed only after a long time, with huge profits.

Therefore, it is natural that it is popular and that you don’t want to miss it.

So in the following time, the ninja world became lively. Thanks to this, there were fewer conflicts and wars. After all...well, except for necessary tasks, I really wasn't in the mood to do these.

It can be seen that exploration and treasure hunting are probably human nature.

In fact, not only ninjas, but "nobles" from various countries are also very interested in this, so they have also issued some tasks to the ninjas, asking them to help them find rare minerals, medicinal materials or "interesting things".

Some ninjas who really had no needs themselves happily accepted the mission.

However, many large ninja clans did not accept the mission, such as Senju and Uchiha.

"Brother," Senju Tobirama asked his eldest brother, "What do you want people who go in to find?"

After Senju Hashirama hesitated for a moment, he replied: "I want to...well, find some life-saving medicine."

"…What do you want this for?"

"It's better to be prepared." Senju Hashirama laughed dryly, "Look, we have no shortage of weapon scrolls, ores, etc. On the other hand, rare herbs are hard to find in the world, right?"

Qian Ju Feijian narrowed his eyes and looked at his eldest brother for a while with a look that could bring endless pressure. It wasn't until the latter seemed to be sweating on his forehead that he slowly said, "Well, there is some truth to this. If you get it,

Bring it to me for study... No, just keep it here with me."

Senju Hashirama: "..." Don't, don't think about occupying it before you get it!

He felt bitter because he wanted to get it for his friend's wife... He also guessed that his friend had similar thoughts. As the saying goes, "there is strength in numbers", he just wanted to help together. However, if this thing fell into place,

In Tobirama's hands... wouldn't it be equivalent to being swallowed by Pixiu?

So he smiled dryly and replied: "Ah hahahaha, let's talk about it, let's talk about it again, wait until we get it."

Then he turned around and ran away decisively.

Senju Tobirama stared at his eldest brother's back and shook his head slightly. How could he not guess? The eldest brother must have wanted to give it to... her. Hehe, then let her recover from her serious illness and stay with Madara Uchiha forever.

With such a good heart and such a fondness for promoting marriage, why should the eldest brother be a green wood-type ninja? Why not become a red-colored ninja? At least, it looks festive. Humph, no wonder he and that man both like red armor.

...Of course, the man who has always been rational has only vented his anger and complained unreasonably until now, but he didn't say it out anyway, so he can't even think about it?

Regardless of these...

Late autumn season.

The Uchiha clan is ready to go.

Because the gathering place selected by the Mirror Spirit Shrine this year is very close to their residence, they only set off one day in advance, and then planned to stay there for one night, and then gather enough energy to participate in the "Mirror Opening Ceremony" the next day.

This can be considered a past practice.

Only this year, they don't have to travel long distances.

The morning of departure.
To be continued...
