Chapter 578 Madara's Change

Izunai found that her brother, who usually obeyed her every request and always tried to spoil her like a useless person, changed his temper after his brother caused trouble this time. Or, in other words, he changed his temper after talking to his brother - but it was only a few hours, right? !

Madara looked at Izuna who was looking at him in doubt and was a little helpless. "So, what my brother and I discussed really can't be told to Izuna now - because Izuna is smart enough, so you know that these are too dangerous for you."

"Brother Ban is a big liar. He clearly said before he left that he would tell me when he came back—" Izuna puffed up his cheeks, "You are not keeping your word."

"How about waiting for Izuna to open the three magatama and be able to use them skillfully?" Madara tried to communicate with his brother, "Because it will involve enemies with troublesome abilities, we must have strength to guarantee it."

[An enemy with troublesome abilities? Hmm... Is it the one who my brother and Hong discovered that the clan's stone tablet was tampered with, and who caused my brother to chase directly into the Senju clan's territory and get injured and open the Mangekyō? It seems that it is unlikely that I can find out anything. ]

Izuna sighed and stopped dwelling on this question. Instead, she turned her head and looked through the window at the Yatagarasu falling on the tree branch. She lowered her voice and said, "Compared to that, Tobirama was quite frightened by his brother. He seemed to have been told by his brother that he was not allowed to reveal it to us, but he had to do it. He kept trying to give me hints along the way."

"You must do it but you are not allowed to tell me..." Madara lowered his eyes and said after a brief thought, "How did he tell you?"

"He specifically emphasized to me that brother was too thoughtful, and also mentioned the two tribes..." Izunai crossed his arms, "I think he was trying to tell me that brother had arranged something for us privately, and it involved the two tribes, but now all I can think of about the two tribes is the bride kidnapping and trial alliance agreed at the end of the year - brother kept it a secret too well."

[Regarding the plans of the two clans... If I can't ask a clear question, my brother will probably brush it off again, right?] Madara also looked at Yata who was combing his feathers on a branch and frowned slightly, [Although I am a little reluctant, if I want to know all of my brother's actions and his plans, the only thing left is to strengthen my own voice and confidants in the clan...]

"Brother Ban?"

"Sorry, Izuna, I was just thinking about something..." Madara sighed and turned his gaze to Izuna, "I've taken note of what you said, and I'll also try to find out the key points and get the answers from my brother."

Izuna puffed up her cheeks and said, "And you kept it a secret from me again?"

"Ahahaha... I'm going to go out for a while. My brother asked me to talk to Brother Hong and the others about something. I'll be back soon - do you want to eat some water chestnut cakes? I'll buy the ingredients on the way back."

"Hmph... If it's only the usual amount, it won't be enough to appease me."

Hearing this, Madara could not help but let out a low laugh. After he went out, he raised his hand and called for Yatagarasu to come down, asking him to go to the city in advance to help him reserve the food he needed. He then went to the clan's medical department and told Uchiha Hiro that Ling wanted to gather everyone for a small gathering.

Uchiha Hong just raised his eyebrows and nodded in agreement, saying that he would be responsible for notifying the personnel and asked him to tell Ling to come to his house in the morning three days later.

"I, Guang, and Huo He will also participate. Is that okay?"

"Hmm? Humph~ Have you finally realized that if you don't seize power, you will be a puppet for the rest of your life?" Uchiha Hong crossed his arms and smiled playfully, "Okay, just bring your people here, right? But remember to pick people who can keep their mouths shut, otherwise I can't guarantee that the people you want to train will not disappear because of a mission - except for that idiot Kenji, I have never seen anyone else who can remain safe and sound after ruining Ling's plans."

"...Brother Hong, I am no longer a child who is frightened by words," Ban crossed his arms expressionlessly, "Your boring and bad taste can almost be eliminated."

Uchiha Hiro didn't comment, but stopped Madara when he was about to leave, "Hey, kid, how did you open your eyes?"

"It has nothing to do with you. Then, I'm leaving."

After Madara left, the slightly playful smile on Uchiha Hiro's face gradually faded, "Fifteen-year-old Mangekyō... It's just the right age, and it's Ling's plan?

No, not really. After all, he should be going out this time to explore immortal arts and improve his strength, and he is going out with Uzumaki Yi. Even if he wants to help his brother open his eyes, he should not choose such an unstable situation - it is better to ask what on earth he did to stimulate Madara, a child with an unimaginably stable mood, to open his eyes?"

"Who knows? I didn't understand it clearly at the scene. But this time, as you speculated, it shouldn't be Ling's deliberate plan. After all, I rarely see him feel guilty about his family. Even if he does things that are not right, he is still strong-willed."

Uchiha Hiro turned around and saw Uchiha Akihiko climbing in through the window. He immediately sighed, "Can't you just walk through the door properly? You heard what I said just now, right? Come on time in three days."

Uchiha Akihiko nodded slightly, sizing up Uchiha Hiroshi, and paused, "You... succeeded?"

"Huh, who do you think I am?" Uchiha Hong sneered and raised his hand to touch his temple, his expression unable to hide his pride, "Not only the first, but also the only one?"

"Congratulations."

"Tsk, who would believe you're congratulating me with that mournful look on your face? If you really want to congratulate me, kneel down and worship me right now—"

Uchiha Akihiko looked at Uchiha Hiro, ignored his provocation, looked away after a brief silence, and spoke inexplicably with no connection to the previous topic, "...Actually it shouldn't be this early, but you know, Madara has opened his eyes."

Uchiha Hong's originally slightly boastful expression also turned cold, "Sure enough, the plan will be brought forward..."

Uchiha Akihiko nodded slightly. "Although it won't be as soon as you think, it is destined to happen in advance. Later, the clan will probably let you choose another holder of the Mangekyo to conduct experiments to confirm the success rate. If it succeeds again... it will probably be within two years."

"Two years..." Uchiha Hiro took a step back and leaned against the edge of the table. After a very obvious silence, he spoke with a hint of reluctance between his brows, "Isn't the time a bit rushed?"

"No one can stop it." Uchiha Akihiko turned his head and looked at Madara's receding back, his voice calm, "After all, Uchiha's dedication will never stop just because the recipient is unwilling - I am, you are, everyone is like this, without exception."
