Chapter 324 Confused Madara

After seeing off their friendly tribes, the Uchiha people still could not relax, but began to busily prepare for the upcoming year-end.

Ling also asked his peers to help distribute the Nishijin woven feather ornaments that he had obtained a few days ago to the clan members who were planning to open shops at the year-end festival. While giving the clan members simple etiquette training, he did not forget to improve the reputation of his younger brother, who did not care about interpersonal relationships at all.

So much so that Madara, who was learning how to handle clan affairs from Tajima, was always confused by the admiring looks from the elders and the compliments they gave him whenever possible.

【What have I done recently? 】

"Don't be complacent just because of a little praise. Do you think you know everything?"

The harsh and slightly sarcastic words brought back Madara's attention. He looked up at Uchiha Xuanshan who was full of impatience in front of him, his eyes full of confusion and apology, "Sorry, Uncle Xuanshan, can you say it again here?"

"Hmph - solve your problem first. If you keep going like this, I'm afraid that what you learned will be eaten up by you when you get home."

Looking at the particularly confused and innocent Madara in front of him, Uchiha Xuanshan sat down with a look of disappointment and knocked on the table, "It's okay that you're stupid, but you can't concentrate. With your current status, if you were my son, I would beat you three times a day, which would not be enough."

"Yes, sorry..." Madara also felt a little guilty and lowered his head in shame. But after a moment, he looked at Uchiha Xuanshan with confused eyes and said sincerely, "I was just thinking about what I have done recently that would be praised...

But no matter how I think about it, I can only learn from my father and you and take time to practice with my peers. To be honest, I don’t understand why such behavior of fulfilling one’s duty is praised.”

"So, you weren't the mastermind who instigated the tribe members to snatch the mission share from Qianshou?"

Uchiha Xuanshan looked at the clear stupidity in Madara's eyes and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He quickly figured out the twists and turns, but after a brief look of admiration, he turned sullen and angrily slammed the table, "Humph, how could that black-hearted old man Uchiha Tajima give birth to such a slow-witted child like you! Your brother has already fed you food, but you don't know how to eat it! A rotten tree cannot be carved!"

Uchiha Tajima, who was pretending to pass by and visit his son while making tea, said: ...You didn’t forget to bring me along, did you?

While feeling speechless, Uchiha Tajima couldn't help but stop walking with the teacup in his hand. He restrained his breath and stood in a hidden corner looking into the room - he wanted to see what bad things this old guy could say about him.

Madara was obviously used to Uchiha Genshan's constant slander and defamation. Hearing this, he just nodded thoughtfully and somewhat distressedly, "So it was Brother who took action... I didn't notice anything abnormal about Brother at all."

Uchiha Xuanshan stretched out his hand and poked Madara's forehead, "That's why I said you are so slow that you don't even know how to eat the food that is fed to you! As the heir of the clan, you only have to consider one thing! That is how to maintain the stability of the clan and promote the development of the clan's strength. What's the point of improving yourself all day long and not knowing anything else?!"

Madara lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking, "...at least I can fight?"

Uchiha·I lost to Uchiha Tajima·Eldest son lost to Ling·Youngest son lost to Madara·Gensugi:...Fuck, you guys are the only ones who can use this to irritate people, right?! Tajima, you rubbish, can't you inherit some good genes?!

The moment Madara said this, Uchiha Tajima, who was standing at the door and peeping secretly, couldn't help but let out a wave of anger. Uchiha Genshan almost instantly directed his anger at the door, "When will you change this bad habit of eavesdropping?! As the clan leader, don't you have any sense of shame?!"

Madara looked up, slightly stunned, "Father."

Uchiha Tajima coughed lightly a few times, walked in slowly, nodded to Madara first, and then spoke, "I was just passing by and happened to stop and overhear. Besides, isn't it a basic ability of a ninja to conceal one's breath? You can't ask me to walk around in a high-profile manner without being discovered, right? If that's the case, you're really asking too much of me."

"Don't you understand what people are saying? You're still sneaking around in the tribe! Do you know what the position of the tribe leader means? If other tribe members see your despicable behavior of eavesdropping, do you know what a blow it will be to your prestige? You are as hopeless as your son!"

Uchiha Tajima was used to this and took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, "Yes, yes, yes - you are right..."

Madara watched the farce-like noise in front of him, silently lowered his head and returned his attention to the document in front of him, reading the scroll without looking away - [Father and brother's peers all have such difficult characters... So is it really the way I get along with my peers that has a problem? Hmm, I'll ask Huo He later. ]

Uchiha Genshan was very angry at Uchiha Tajima's stubborn attitude. He was thinking about what offensive words to say, but he saw Madara who was carefully annotating the document. He choked back the words that were on his lips and looked at Uchiha Tajima angrily, "You gave birth to a good son! Teach him yourself!"

Madara looked speechlessly at Uchiha Genshan's flying robes and the door that he slammed with a loud noise. After a moment, he silently turned his head to look at his father who seemed nothing had happened, then lowered his head to look at his homework. After repeating this several times, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Tajima.

"It's okay. Just treat the rest of the day as a day off. Go home and organize what you learned today. Your uncle Xuan Shan will be waiting for you here tomorrow. He will come here just to prove that the heir he brought up is better than me. Don't worry about him."

Uchiha Tajima pulled down the haori draped over his shoulders, walked to Madara's side with a teacup, "Let me see the comments you wrote... Oh, it's not bad, considering your usual way of doing things, you have improved a lot, it seems that Xuanshan has taught you seriously."

"Yes, Uncle Xuanshan explained it in detail. As long as you pay attention, it is not difficult to understand how to do it and why to do it..." Ban looked at the half-written annotation in front of him, and after a brief silence, he raised his head again with a serious expression, "Father, I have a question."
