Chapter 32

The gates of the Uchiha clan's residence were adorned with colorful flags, and people had been coming and going since early morning, the noise never ceasing. It was already noon, and the crowd showed no signs of thinning. Besides the Uchiha clan's own ninjas, there were many from other clans as well.

Among them were many clans that were traditionally enemies, but they had not engaged in any conflict, as they had all come to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new leader of the Uchiha clan, one of the two most powerful clans in the ninja world.

Uchiha Madara's name had already spread throughout the Land of Fire and was rapidly spreading to the rest of the world. Even some of the smaller countries surrounding the Land of Fire knew that the Uchiha clan had a ten-year-old child who, by himself, had challenged the entire Uchiha clan, ultimately killing the former leader and the great elder, and taking the position of leader for himself.

Everyone's first reaction was disbelief. Could Uchiha Madara be some kind of monster to have single-handedly fought against the powerful Uchiha clan and emerged victorious?

However, as the Uchiha clan sent out invitations, the rumors turned into reality. Those who had initially not wanted to come also sent ninjas, their purpose being to verify the truth and see what kind of person Uchiha Madara was. Many ambitious individuals also saw this as an opportunity to take advantage of the Uchiha clan's internal strife.

Madara, however, was unaware that his actions had not only disrupted the Uchiha clan but also stirred up the entire continent.

"Madara, there are a lot of people outside. Aren't you going to go out and take a look?" Cat Fairy sat beside Madara, eating snacks, and asked curiously.

"I hate socializing. Let whoever wants to come, come." Uchiha Madara lay on the tatami, legs crossed, carefully examining a large gourd-shaped fan in his hand.

The Uchiha Fire Fan!

Now that he had become the leader of the Uchiha clan, he had naturally inherited this legendary artifact said to be able to deflect all ninja techniques.

"If that's the case, why are you even having an inauguration ceremony?" Cat Fairy asked helplessly.

"I didn't want to, either. I wanted to skip this boring ceremony, but I thought I could use this opportunity to meet people from other clans." Madara put down the Fire Fan, sat up from the tatami, and said thoughtfully.

"Why do you want to meet them?" Cat Fairy asked in surprise.

"Of course, to show them my handsome appearance." Madara said proudly.

"..." Cat Fairy's forehead veins bulged, and she jumped onto Madara, giving him a hard paw slap, angry and said, "I'm having a serious conversation with you, young man."

"Actually, I want to show them the charm of Miss Cat Fairy." Madara held Cat Fairy's head and said with a mischievous smile.

"Uchiha Madara!" Cat Fairy, both angry and embarrassed, shouted.

Just as the two were bickering, the door suddenly opened, and a small figure ran in. Seeing Madara and Cat Fairy, he paused, panting and said, "Brother, the Sarutobi and Shimura clans have arrived. Uncle Gen wants you to go out and meet them."

"Boring, I won't go!" Madara's face showed disdain, thinking of the future Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the leader of the Root, Shimura Danzo.

He disliked both of them, even hated them. Although their fathers might not have been born yet, Madara had no interest in meeting their clan members.

"..." Izuna, seeing his brother's immediate refusal, said helplessly, "Brother, they are the largest clans in the Land of Fire besides the Uchiha and Senju. If we are impolite, people will talk."

"Izuna is right. Look, even your little brother is more sensible than you. I wonder who the clan leader is here." Cat Fairy fanned the flames, though she didn't understand clan politics, she saw Madara's lazy attitude and couldn't help but criticize him.

"If Izuna wants to be the clan leader, let him be." Madara waved his hand indifferently.

"Brother!" Izuna shouted, startling Madara and Cat Fairy.

"Brother, you are now the leader of the Uchiha clan. You can't be too casual." Izuna, though only six years old, gave a serious reprimand, which was somewhat comical coming from a child.

"Actually, the most important thing in life is to be yourself. I will handle clan matters in my own way. Remember my words, don't care about what others think. Just live happily." Madara sighed, stood up, and patted Izuna's head.

"Brother!" Izuna looked at Madara, feeling his figure was so tall and mighty.

Just as the brothers were talking, a young ninja came to the door. Seeing Uchiha Madara inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully from outside, "Lord Madara, the Nara, Yamanaka, and Akimichi clans have sent representatives. Should you go and see them?"

"It's you, Hayato! Where's Gen?" Madara asked with a smile.

"Brother Gen is entertaining the guests." Uchiha Hayato said respectfully.

"Let him continue. Tell me when the Senju clan arrives." Madara said indifferently.

Uchiha Hayato was taken aback, seeing Madara's nonchalance, and said with a bitter smile, "My lord, although you sent an invitation to the Senju clan, they are our mortal enemies. How could they possibly send anyone?"

Hayato had been the one to deliver the invitation to the Senju clan. Although he thought Madara's actions were futile, he didn't dare contradict him and had to go through with it.

"Who knows!" Madara said nonchalantly.

Just as Hayato was about to persuade Madara, another ninja ran in from a distance. Seeing Madara inside, he hurriedly knelt at the door and said respectfully, "Report to the clan leader, the Senju clan has arrived at our gates."

"What?" Uchiha Hayato was shocked.

"Who is it?" Madara's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He hadn't been sure if the Senju clan would send anyone, but they had.

In fact, the main purpose of this ceremony was to meet the Senju clan. He didn't care about the other clans.

"Senju Asama and an unknown young ninja." The messenger said respectfully.

"It's him!" Uchiha Hayato exclaimed.

"Hayato, go and lead them here." Madara, hearing Senju Asama's name, was slightly surprised and said to Uchiha Hayato.

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate? After all, this is your bedroom." Uchiha Hayato said hesitantly.

"Clan leader, you should go yourself! Senju Asama is already surrounded by our clan's ninjas. I doubt Hayato can do much." The messenger said hesitantly.

"Hmm?" Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes, a faint killing intent emanating from him.

"Please calm down, my lord. The enmity between the Uchiha and Senju is deep. Moreover, we didn't expect the Senju clan to send Senju Asama, who has killed many of our Uchiha." Uchiha Hayato's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, fearing that the clan's actions would anger Uchiha Madara.

"I understand. You go ahead, I'll change and follow." Madara's face was calm, but he sighed inwardly. If possible, he hoped the Uchiha and Senju could ally and establish Konoha, bringing peace to this turbulent continent.

But he knew that was impossible. While he was now the leader of the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan's leader was not Senju Hashirama.

These ignorant and corrupt clans, filled with ignorant people, only cared about short-term gains and couldn't see the future.

"Yes!" Uchiha Hayato and the messenger bowed and left the room, heading towards the gates.

"Cat Fairy, use the 'Clothing Camera' for me." Madara said to Cat Fairy.

"Okay!" Cat Fairy took out a pink, square camera from the fourth-dimensional space. It looked very cartoonish, like a child's toy.

**Clothing Camera**

**Item Description:** Draw a picture of the clothes you want on paper, or use a picture from a book, place it in the camera, and take a photo of the person you want to change. The person's clothes will transform into the picture's design through molecular recombination, like building blocks. If nothing is placed in the camera, the person will become naked.

**Item Rating:** I'm a selfie expert.

Cat Fairy aimed the camera at Madara, and with a click, Madara's ordinary kimono instantly transformed into a black Hanfu, with a dark red sash around his waist, embroidered with black auspicious cloud patterns. The wide sleeves and flowing hem were also embroidered with dark red clouds, and the back bore the Uchiha clan's fan emblem.

His bare feet were now clad in black soft-soled boots, and with his handsome face, he exuded a nearly demonic charm.

Though only ten years old, Madara already had the presence of an adult. His every movement and smile were perfect, easily captivating with his unique aura.

"Hmm! Hmm! Even though I've tried it once, this outfit is just too cool. My already handsome face, paired with this outfit, is unbeatably cool." Madara turned, his clothes fluttering, and sighed.

This was the outfit he had specially prepared for the ceremony. He had originally liked the Akatsuki's uniform in the Naruto world, but it wasn't suitable for the occasion, so he chose the Hanfu with auspicious cloud patterns.

"Brother..." Izuna was stunned, unsure whether he was amazed by the Clothing Camera or his brother's stunning appearance.

"Hmph! If it weren't for the 'Mind Drawing Paper,' you wouldn't dare to wear the clothes you drew yourself." Cat Fairy was also stunned but couldn't resist criticizing Madara when she heard his narcissistic words.

**Mind Drawing Paper**

**Item Description:** Just think of the picture you want to draw, and it will appear on the paper through mental power.

**Item Rating:** With this paper, Mom doesn't have to worry about my art class anymore.

"Alright, let's change Izuna too. I remember I drew many colors. Izuna, you can have the blue one." Madara smiled.

"Huh? I can wear it too?" Izuna was surprised.

Click!

Izuna was now dressed in a black Hanfu, similar to Madara's, but with dark blue clouds and the prominent Uchiha emblem on the back.

"Wow! Brother, this thing is amazing. What is it exactly?" Izuna touched the clothes, feeling the real texture, still not quite believing it.

"Being cool is enough! Why think so much! We should go." Madara waved his hand, not explaining, and said to Cat Fairy, "Cat Fairy, put away the 'Fire Fan.'"

Cat Fairy nodded, put the Uchiha Fire Fan and the Clothing Camera back into the fourth-dimensional space, jumped onto Madara's shoulder, and followed him and Izuna out of the room, heading towards the clan's gates.
