Chapter 561: Madara: ...bad, ignored.

After Uchiha Haiming finished speaking, the four people in the room fell into silence.

However, the direction of his shock was different from that of Uchiha Tajima. Compared to his concern for Ling, Uchiha Genshan was more concerned about Uchiha Haiming's identity when he said this - you know, this girl is a well-known peace advocate in the clan, and it was even she who put forward the argument of "starting with the children, eliminating the hatred accumulated from generations of Senju, and thus ushering in peace."

Uchiha Xuanshan narrowed his eyes, [Sure enough, this is another person that Ling kid pushed out to deal with the public's attention... Sigh, I don't know how much power Madara kid will still have when he succeeds to the throne - tsk, it's really worrying.]

Uchiha Akihiko looked at Uchiha Kaiming with a complicated expression and said bluntly, "You are still like this. You always want Ling to die, but as soon as that guy is in danger, you start to do everything you can - and you even fall for the child that Ling is about to cheat. Women are really scary."

Uchiha Kaiming sneered and crossed his arms, "Why, you're not? And after all, I don't have a good impression of the Senju clan. If I hadn't accidentally got on this pirate ship, do you think I would take this job?"

Uchiha Akihiko clicked his tongue and shook his head, "Woman like you is so changeable and weird."

Hearing his son's words, Uchiha Xuanshan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Why do I feel that although you were surprised to hear that Ling boy lost contact, you are not worried at all?"

"I can't say I'm not worried," Uchiha Kenji looked at his father and shrugged slightly, "Although Ling is trustworthy, he has also experienced setbacks before. But if he said he didn't send any information when he was dying, I don't believe it -

After all, when we were fighting the most fiercely with Qianshou, even though he was being hunted to a desperate situation, he still remembered to ask Xiansi to bring back the information. Considering the situations that he and Uzumaki Yi might have to deal with, there are only two possibilities for him to lose contact.

One possibility is that the Whirlpool Clan intends to keep him forever, so they led him into some kind of sealing formation. The other possibility is that he willingly followed Whirlpool Yi to some forbidden area. To be honest, I don’t think the first possibility will happen. After all, Whirlpool Yi is now the clan leader of the Whirlpool Clan. Even if he wants to kill Ling, it is unlikely that he will do so while carrying his clan members on a mission. So it should be that he took the initiative to follow Ling to the forbidden area for some reason.”

Uchiha Kaiming nodded slightly, "That's indeed the style of that scumbag, and I heard from Zhen Ning before that Uzumaki Yi said that there are many places related to immortal arts in the Kingdom of Rivers - this time it should be the same as the previous time when he went to that... um, the Wet Bone Forest to practice immortal arts, and ended up losing contact for a month. If it doesn't work, we can capture an Uzumaki and interrogate him about the locations of their forbidden areas. It should be similar."

"...I really don't know how An Ruo fell in love with you, a violent girl who only appears gentle on the surface, and was so fascinated by you."

"Uchiha Akihiko..." Uchiha Haiming smiled softly, "Are you looking for a fight?"

Uchiha Akihiko immediately turned away and stopped talking.

Madara and Uchiha Hikaru happened to arrive at the moment of silence and told Uchiha Tajima about their discovery.

This also made Uchiha Tajima, who knew that his eldest son's current condition was not critical, feel slightly relieved. He glanced at the little slug held in Madara's arms and focused on another question, "So, you just walked all the way from Min City holding the enemy's summoning beast?"

Madara: ...bad, ignored it.

Seeing Madara lower his head with a guilty look on his face, Uchiha Tajima couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it, we have known the Senju well for so many years, and your behavior won't affect anything... Is the summoning contract with the slug on Guang?"

Uchiha Guang nodded as a response, "Hurry up and gather everyone, I want to go find my master - if it's too slow, I'll go by myself."

"Hey, you're going too far..." Madara looked at Uchiha Hikaru with a little dissatisfaction, motioned her to stop talking, and then looked at Uchiha Tajima, "Father, if you want to send a team to look for my brother, please let me go."

"Hmm?" Uchiha Tajima raised his eyebrows slightly, "Reason?"

Madara took a deep breath, and the Sharingan that had been suppressed appeared unconsciously again, "Because there is something very necessary, I absolutely, absolutely must explain it to my brother in person."

Uchiha Tajima looked at the black magatama in Madara's eyes that was spinning rapidly and almost merged into one several times, raised his eyebrows slightly, and agreed - it seems that his eldest son's occasional disappearances are not all bad things.

"Then let me lead the team. In addition to Madara and Hikaru, I'll also bring Eiji and Kumono. If there is any emergency, Hikaru and I will be able to handle it. Eiji and Madara are also strong enough to protect Kumono."

Uchiha Kaiming looked at Uchiha Akihiko, "Why, you don't need me?"

"You stay in the clan and watch over Kenji. If he follows us, it will be a big mess." Uchiha Akihiko sighed and looked at Uchiha Tajima. "Clan leader? What do you think?"

"Well, it's time to hand over the clan to the young people. Just do as you said," Uchiha Tajima finally smiled again. He glanced at the impatient Uchiha Hikaru and said meaningfully, "But remember to keep in touch with the clan at all times."

Uchiha Akihiko followed Uchiha Tajima's gaze and nodded slightly, "Yes, I understand - Madara, Hikaru, go and order some things, and gather at the mission station in an hour... Also, send this slug back first, and ask for directions after we get to River Country."

The two of them naturally had no objections and said goodbye to the little slug. Just as the little slug was released from summoning, it was summoned by Hashirama who lived on the other side of the Nanga River. "Hey, great sage, what exactly does Madara want to do?"

The little slug looked at Hashirama, who was full of curiosity, and shook its tentacles. Its voice was filled with a hint of imperceptible mischief. "No, Master Hashirama, I promised the new leader to keep it a secret, so I can't tell you~"
