Chapter 59

Everyone took their seats in succession, and Cat Fairy squatted on the wooden table in front of Madara.

"Madara, I came this time to ask you, are you really giving the position of the village leader to Hashirama?" Senju Shizuma asked seriously.

"Yes!" Madara was somewhat impatient; the position of Hokage was trivial, and these people wouldn't stop pestering him about it.

"Can you tell us the reason?" A glint of curiosity flashed in Senju Shizuma's eyes. He really couldn't understand Madara's intentions and asked sincerely.

"Do I have to?" Madara saw the three pairs of eyes focused on him, even Cat Fairy's eyes showed curiosity.

Although Cat Fairy understood Madara's true thoughts, she wanted to see how he would explain it to the Senju clan.

"Since you all want to know so badly, I'll be kind and tell you. The reason is simple, I'm better looking than Senju Hashirama." Madara's lips curled up, and he spoke clearly and confidently.

"..." Everyone's mouths twitched.

"Madara, don't joke around." Senju Shizuma laughed bitterly. His nephew was already frustrating enough, but Madara was even worse.

"I'm telling the truth! Don't you think I look better than Senju Hashirama?" Madara tilted his head, looking at everyone with a serious expression.

"Madara, what does being the village leader have to do with looks? I'm not ugly either!" Senju Hashirama asked weakly.

"That depends on who you're comparing yourself to. Compared to me, you're hideous." Madara said nonchalantly.

"Hideous!" Senju Hashirama lowered his head, repeating the three words in his mind, his face showing dejection.

"Uchiha Madara! Have you been infected by an idiot?" Seeing that the conversation couldn't continue, Cat Fairy broke the awkward silence.

"I'm not only hideous but also an idiot." Senju Hashirama, once again feeling defeated, became even more dejected.

"Why don't you all understand? Being so handsome, it's a waste for me to be the village leader." Madara said with a hint of melancholy.

Senju Tobirama and Senju Shizuma remained silent, understanding that Madara was joking and wouldn't reveal his true thoughts.

"Are you going to form an alliance or not?" Madara glanced at the three, asking indifferently.

"Madara, we can't form an alliance right now!" Senju Shizuma's eyes flickered, and he said calmly.

"Oh? Do you want to start a war?" Madara narrowed his eyes, unable to fathom Senju Shizuma's thoughts.

"Of course not. Although Hashirama has become the leader, many within the clan still don't support him. Only the three of us want to form an alliance, so this matter will take time." Senju Shizuma sighed deeply. He had done his best to make Senju Hashirama the leader, but eliminating the clan's resentment towards the Uchiha was no easy task.

"Does this mean you don't plan to establish a ninja village?" Madara raised an eyebrow, surprised by the outcome.

"Madara, the ninja village must be established. I hope you can give me some time to change the clan's hostility towards the Uchiha." Senju Hashirama, who had been silent, looked up and said earnestly.

"Since that's the case, send me a letter when you're ready to form an alliance. I'll leave now if there's nothing else." Madara stood up and said calmly.

"I'm sorry, I don't want it to be this way." Senju Hashirama said apologetically.

"Goodbye!" Madara said no more, holding Cat Fairy, and instantly disappeared before the three.

"Space-time ninjutsu! I must learn it." Senju Tobirama narrowed his eyes. After reviewing the clan's records and making his own guesses, he believed Madara used space-time ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, he couldn't have dreamed that Madara's instant movement was a superpower, not a ninjutsu at all.

"Madara, the war is over, what should we do now?" Madara, carrying a bamboo dragonfly, flew towards the Uchiha clan, while Cat Fairy asked in his arms.

"Improve our strength!" Madara smiled.

"Eh? Aren't you already very powerful?" Cat Fairy was surprised.

"That's because my enemies are too weak. In a river, if you don't move forward, you'll fall behind. For me, strength has no limits. Our journey has just begun." Madara gazed at the clouds on the horizon, feeling melancholic.

"I really don't understand what you're thinking!" Cat Fairy sighed. In the six years since they arrived in this world, Madara had been training and fighting non-stop. Sometimes she thought he was too driven.

"Because I'm a man, I bleed but never cry, and I'd rather die than kneel." Madara said firmly.

"Madara!" Cat Fairy snuggled in Madara's arms, murmuring.

Madara and Cat Fairy returned to the clan, gathered the clan members, and held a meeting. He briefly explained that although the Uchiha and Senju had not formed an alliance, there would be no more war between them. He also informed everyone that he planned to leave the Uchiha clan and travel through the ninja world.

Of course, the Uchiha elders disagreed, but Madara was determined. Faced with his strong will, their objections were futile, and they could only tacitly agree.

Madara prepared everything and was ready to leave with Cat Fairy, but Izuna insisted on going with him. After some consideration, Madara decided to take Izuna along. Due to his arrival, the war between the Uchiha and Senju clans had ended early. Without the war, Izuna needed to undergo trials to awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan; otherwise, he might never achieve it.

Before leaving, Madara gave the 'Confidential Pen' and 'Flying Stamp' to Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Yuta, so he could be informed immediately if anything happened to the Uchiha clan.

At dawn, the Uchiha compound's gate was filled with people, stretching as far as the eye could see. All the Uchiha clan members had come to see their leader off.

"Madara, come back soon and be careful." The third elder stood at the front of the crowd, speaking earnestly.

"Today, not only do we ninjas fight each other, but the Fire Country is also at war with other nations. Don't act rashly." The fourth elder said solemnly.

"Take care!" The fifth elder, though brief, conveyed his concern.

"Lord Madara, we will handle the clan's affairs. If you need us, please send a message." Uchiha Gen and Uchiha Yuta said respectfully.

"Everyone, go back!" Madara waved his hand and left the clan with Cat Fairy and Izuna.

Many Uchiha clan members watched their leader depart until he was out of sight, their expressions somber, and they dispersed. Madara had become the backbone of the Uchiha clan, and his departure left many feeling uneasy.

"Brother, where are we going?" Izuna followed Madara, his face showing excitement. This was his first long journey.

"Izuna, we're leaving the Fire Country to explore other nations." Madara frowned.

"Great!" Izuna clapped his hands, then, seeing Madara standing still, he asked curiously, "Brother, why are you standing here for so long? Why aren't we moving?"

"Izuna, your brother is directionally challenged. He doesn't know the way." Cat Fairy squatted on Madara's shoulder, gloating.
