With the guarantee from the Uchiha Grand Elder.
Even if this group of Uchiha clan elders had objections in their hearts, at most they could only make small moves in private.
But it didn't matter. Uchiha Makoto had a habit of writing diaries and keeping a little notebook.
In the future, when a suitable opportunity arose, he could call them out one by one for reckoning.... This debt would have to be recorded on Senju Tobirama's head.
"Since that's the case, I'll take my leave first."
"Kagami, let's go."
Subsequently, Uchiha Makoto couldn't be bothered to waste words with these old fogies and left the meeting room with Uchiha Kagami.
The Uchiha clan elders remaining in the room harbored resentment; they hadn't expected the Grand Elder to choose to support Uchiha Makoto at the critical moment.
"What, do you want to make Uchiha Makoto stand completely on Senju Tobirama's side at this time?"
"Makoto is indeed a bit too domineering, but his goal is consistent with ours. Once Senju Tobirama is driven out of the Hokage's office and Lord Madara becomes the Second Hokage, we won't have to endure anymore."
"....."
The Uchiha Grand Elder said this, his eyes flashing with the light of wisdom.
He wasn't without anger.
It was just that now was the time to employ people. No matter what, Uchiha Makoto was an Uchiha clansman, and they shared a common goal.
When Uchiha Madara became the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama was driven out of the Hokage's office, and the Uchiha Clan completely took charge of Konoha, they could then teach Uchiha Makoto how to respect the elders of the family.
....
Uchiha Makoto and Uchiha Kagami found an empty space in the clan grounds. He intended to reveal the content of the reform plan at the meeting two days later to Uchiha Kagami in advance.
There was no helping it.
Akatsuki Village would be busy with many affairs in the future.
He inevitably couldn't attend to the situation in Konoha at all times, and those Uchiha clan elders were completely unreliable. Only young people like Uchiha Kagami could carry the Uchiha banner.
The two chatted for quite a while before ending.
After that, Uchiha Makoto saw Uchiha Kagami off and walked alone towards the depths of the clan grounds.
After all, he hadn't done what he promised Senju Hashirama yet.
That guy Uchiha Madara stayed in the Naka Shrine all day without going out, and Senju Hashirama couldn't even find someone to talk to... The first meeting by the river was simply an ill-fated relationship for these two. It was unbreakable, chaotic, and had to last until death.
Hmm... Uzumaki Mito.... truly a strong and gentle good woman.
From beginning to end, she had always been tolerant of Senju Hashirama's willfulness and acted as his strong backing.
.....Wait, is my role now equivalent to "Granny Wang," the matchmaker?
With various strange thoughts, Uchiha Makoto walked into the Naka Shrine.
The Naka Shrine was no different from his memory.
Empty, large, dark, with only a few basins of flames emitting a faint light in the room.
Hearing Uchiha Makoto's footsteps, Uchiha Madara turned his head to look in the direction of the door. Subconsciously, he thought it was that group of Uchiha clan elders.
He was about to flare up and tell those useless things not to disturb him.
But Uchiha Makoto spoke first: "Lord Madara, long time no see."
"Makoto... why are you here?"
Uchiha Madara's cold face finally showed a hint of a smile.
He still appreciated Uchiha Makoto very much, considering him a junior he could talk to.
Unlike those clansmen in the family, who were a bunch of power-hungry "stupid pigs."
"Sigh, don't mention it. Those lords in the Land of Fire actually doubted the loyalty of us ninjas.... Anyway, because of them, a lot of things happened."
Uchiha Makoto complained.
He omitted the parts that couldn't be said and roughly recounted everything that had happened in the Land of Fire recently.
Uchiha Madara listened on the side. Although he didn't care much about those noble lords in the Land of Fire, he was still quite willing to listen to Uchiha Makoto chatter about some outside matters.
Subsequently, Uchiha Madara still asked about the thing he cared about most.
"So many things actually happened outside. Then what about Hashirama? How is Hashirama doing?"
Ill-fated relationship.
Truly an ill-fated relationship.
"Lord Madara, you care about Lord Hashirama so much, then why don't you take the initiative to go out and meet Lord Hashirama?"
"I heard you have been staying in the Naka Shrine recently and don't let clansmen approach here."
"Ah... let me see, the food is so bad."
"...Food pills..."
Uchiha Makoto really found it hard to understand Uchiha Madara's brain circuit.
At such an age, he should hurry up and find a beautiful woman to live a peaceful life honestly.
Even going to find Senju Hashirama would be fine.
But he just had to go crazy in his old age, making himself all alone, staying in this dark and cold place where ghosts wouldn't even come usually, eating a few food pills that even dogs wouldn't want to eat every day to fill his stomach.
"Makoto, you don't understand."
"Do you remember the Eye of the Moon Plan?"
"I think this is the only way to completely realize peace in the ninja world... But I know Hashirama will definitely not agree to such a thing."
"..."
It had to be said.
Uchiha Madara was indeed a romantic idealist.
And he dared to think and act.
To realize his long-cherished wish for peace in the ninja world, he resolutely jumped into the big pit of the Eye of the Moon.
He could even abandon Senju Hashirama.
But he knew his bond with Senju Hashirama was simply too deep and couldn't be cut off so easily, so he could only avoid Senju Hashirama and not see him.
Incidentally, he could also cultivate Yin-Yang Release in the Naka Shrine.
The Yin-Yang Release recorded on the family stone tablet was indeed incredibly profound. A martial arts fanatic like Uchiha Madara could easily immerse himself in cultivation and forget himself.
Only in this way could he forget Senju Hashirama.
However.... his mouth said no, but his body was honest. He kept saying he didn't want to see Senju Hashirama, but in his heart, he was always concerned about Senju Hashirama. As soon as he saw Uchiha Makoto, he couldn't wait to inquire about news of Senju Hashirama.
"Lord Madara, actually, I came this time hoping you can walk out of the Naka Shrine. Lord Hashirama has been talking about you recently."
"He specifically asked me to come, hoping you can go out for a walk and meet him."
"Makoto.... let's not talk about this first."
"Regarding the Eye of the Moon Plan, I know you have already started preparing to execute it in secret."
Facing the temptation of Senju Hashirama.
Uchiha Madara chose to avoid talking about it temporarily and instead talked about the Eye of the Moon.
In Uchiha Madara's eyes, Uchiha Makoto single-handedly facilitated the marriage between the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan, wanting the next generation to awaken the Rinnegan, and also proposed the plan to collect the Tailed Beasts. These were all necessary conditions for executing the Eye of the Moon Plan.
The two could be considered to have a common goal.
Precisely because of this, Uchiha Madara wanted to have an in-depth exchange with Uchiha Makoto regarding the Eye of the Moon Plan.
At this, Uchiha Makoto felt confused.
When did he start preparing for the Eye of the Moon Plan?
....He didn't know how many things that guy Uchiha Madara imagined in his brain alone in the Naka Shrine every day.
However, Uchiha Makoto didn't refute. Since Uchiha Madara thought he was executing the Eye of the Moon Plan in secret, then let him continue to misunderstand like this. In the future, he could continue to contact Uchiha Madara after his fake death using this identity.
"Lord Madara, what do you want to talk about?"
"Regarding the Eye of the Moon Plan, it is recorded clearly on the stone tablet."
"....Rinnegan... God seeks stability, thus dividing Yin and Yang into two poles. The two oppose and generate each other, eventually becoming all things in creation....
"To awaken the Rinnegan... one must obtain the power of Senju and Uchiha. I know you want to try to awaken the Rinnegan by letting your son and Hashirama's granddaughter combine to give birth to a child with the blood of both Senju and Uchiha clans through marriage, but I can't wait until then...."
Hearing Uchiha Madara say this.
Uchiha Makoto roughly understood why Uchiha Madara thought he was executing the Eye of the Moon Plan in secret.
....However, he didn't have this intention at all.
And eyes at the level of the Rinnegan simply couldn't be born from the combination of Uchiha and Senju clansmen who had degraded countless times.
This required the infusion of chakra from the Sage of Six Paths.
Or it could only be achieved by combining the chakras of Asura and Indra; only then would there be a chance to awaken the Rinnegan.
As for how Uchiha Madara, the reincarnation of Indra, obtained Asura's chakra, in the original story it was through his beloved... um... it was through transplanting Hashirama cells to obtain Asura's chakra.
But it seemed that Uchiha Madara at this stage hadn't realized this yet.
Since that was the case....
It wasn't the time to reveal these ancient secrets yet.
Considering the most favorable situation for Akatsuki Village, Uchiha Makoto still wanted to maintain the status quo as much as possible.
Once Uchiha Madara defected from Konoha and then died fighting Senju Hashirama at the Valley of the End, the pattern of the entire ninja world would undergo tremendous changes. It would be difficult to live such a peaceful life where Akatsuki Village could develop peacefully again.
"Lord Madara, I'm afraid I don't have any good methods either."
"The Rinnegan is the eye of the legendary god, the Sage of Six Paths. A second pair hasn't appeared in the entire ninja world."
"And the content recorded on the stone tablet only tells us that to awaken the Rinnegan, we must obtain the power of Uchiha and Senju to obtain the power of all creation.... As for how to do it, I don't have a definitely feasible method either."
Uchiha Makoto said this.
He intended to watch the changes quietly and let the ill-fated relationship between Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama continue to entangle for a while longer.
"Ah... is that so..."
"It seems I have to find a way myself."
A look of regret appeared on Uchiha Madara's face. He thought Uchiha Makoto might have some good method.
But this was understandable.
After all, wanting to obtain the eyes of the legendary god, the Sage of Six Paths, couldn't be such an easy thing.
After chatting about this, Uchiha Madara talked about family matters.
Although Uchiha Madara didn't like that group of "stupid and stubborn" Uchiha clan elders, he had deep feelings for his family.
And he had personally promised his late younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, that he would protect the family well.
But Uchiha Madara knew he would definitely leave Konoha in the future. If the Uchiha Clan continued to stay in Konoha, with that naturally evil old Senju ghost Senju Tobirama in Konoha.... the family would definitely head towards destruction.
So he wanted to take the family and leave Konoha together.
It was just that Uchiha Madara hadn't thought about where the Uchiha Clan would go after leaving Konoha.
Going to Akatsuki Village was undoubtedly the optimal choice.
After all, Uchiha Makoto was Konoha's Hikarikage and also an Uchiha clansman. The Uchiha Clan could join Akatsuki Village seamlessly.
However, Uchiha Makoto had once said that the alliance between the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan to build a ninja village would ultimately have no good end, so he chose to build a ninja village alone.
Uchiha Madara was a person proud to his bones.
....He didn't want to admit his mistake, didn't want to admit defeat. Even to Senju Hashirama, he hadn't completely admitted defeat. Now that Uchiha Madara wanted to run away from Konoha and pursue the Eye of the Moon Plan, it wasn't without the thought of wanting to win against Senju Hashirama again.
Moreover, Uchiha Makoto was a junior. It was difficult, very difficult, to make Uchiha Madara bow his head and admit his mistake to Uchiha Makoto.
He wanted more to take the Uchiha Clan and build a ninja village independently.
Subsequently, Uchiha Madara revealed part of his heartfelt thoughts to Uchiha Makoto.
"Senju Tobirama... he is indeed quite troublesome."
"But that's all. Lord Madara, you worry too much."
"Building a new Konoha... I think, Lord Madara, you still need to consider carefully. The Uchiha Clan is, after all, a founding clan of Konoha. Leaving Konoha so abruptly without warning will cause a huge uproar."
"Moreover, the clansmen have also poured their heart's blood into Konoha; they may not necessarily be willing to leave Konoha."
Facing Uchiha Madara's worries.
Although Uchiha Makoto knew his words were probably in vain, he still sincerely asked him to consider carefully.
The Uchiha Clan was one of the two founding clans of Konoha. Leaving Konoha inexplicably would inevitably cause a devastating impact on Konoha, and even Akatsuki Village would be impacted.
Especially the Uchiha clansmen.
The current situation was not like when the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan formed an alliance.
At that time, the Uchiha Clan was facing "Uchiha Madara defeated by Senju Hashirama" and "the main force of Uchiha defeated like a landslide on the battlefield." The family either chose to ally or chose to be chased down to death by the Senju Clan. So at that time, with a wave of his arm, Uchiha Madara could withstand the pressure of the family's thousand-year blood feud and take the Uchiha Clan to reconcile with the Senju Clan and establish Konoha.
Now the entire Uchiha Clan had gone all-in on Konoha and was thriving in Konoha, determined to win the position of the Second Hokage of Konoha.
Uchiha Makoto had also established an Akatsuki Village outside that was no less than Konoha.
The clansmen of the entire family were waiting to attack from inside and outside, letting Uchiha Madara succeed as the Second Hokage. Then the Uchiha Clan could completely win back the defeat of that year, straighten their backs again, and "settle accounts" with the Senju Clan.
Now if Uchiha Madara asked them to abandon their homes and businesses and leave their native land with him again, don't blame the clansmen for not being loyal.
—Uchiha clansmen unite, down with the shameless reactionary traitor Uchiha Madara!
"Don't worry, I have my own ideas."
"The clansmen will definitely follow me."
"I am Uchiha Madara!"
Uchiha Madara was as confident as ever.
