Chapter 288 - Chapter 289: Uchiha Madara.... Truly Doesn't Look Like a Ruler!

The atmosphere in the room changed slightly.

The Uchiha clansmen looked at Uchiha Madara with increasingly strange expressions; they even began to doubt their own ears.

Although Uchiha Madara was indeed the strongest in the family and the Clan Leader, and it was a fact that they supported him, it was really hard for them to accept that he could so casually say he wanted to abandon all the results they had worked so hard for over the years.

Uchiha were also humans and needed to support their families.

The expenses of ninjas were enormous. Ninja tools needed money, medicine needed money, secret cultivation medicines needed money.... Money was needed everywhere.

How would they maintain these huge expenses after leaving Konoha?

Moreover, the Uchiha Clan had finally managed to live a good life in Konoha. As one of the founding clans, they could get whatever they wanted in Konoha, yet they were suddenly asked to abandon everything. This was truly unbearable for any human being.

Uchiha Madara.... he was a lonely old man who neither had nor cared about this.

But they really had a cow (a stake/something to lose).

It was only because Uchiha Madara was powerful and the Uchiha Clan Leader that he could say such heart-piercing words in front of them.

If it were anyone else, even the Uchiha Grand Elder would have had a few shurikens thrown at him by angry Uchiha clansmen.

However, Uchiha Madara was completely unaware of this. He was still immersed in his own world, thinking that the Uchiha clansmen would still obediently follow him to leave Konoha as long as he raised his arm and called, just like back then.

Under such a gloomy atmosphere.

The gazes of the Uchiha clansmen towards Uchiha Madara began to gradually turn unkind.

Uchiha Madara.... truly didn't look like a ruler!

And the Uchiha Grand Elder was also the first to realize the seriousness of the matter.

Adhering to the principle that things go smoothly if done slowly, the Uchiha Grand Elder began to act as a lubricant.

"Lord Madara, the family's sacrifices in Konoha over these years are truly the blood and tears of the family's hard work. It is really difficult for us to abandon everything all at once."

"The clansmen need time to consider this matter."

"En, I know. I don't intend to take the family away from Konoha immediately. I will give you time to prepare."

Uchiha Madara nodded; he wasn't an unreasonable guy.

There must be some clansmen in the family who were hesitant, blinded by the peaceful times in Konoha, so he could give the Uchiha clansmen time to consider. He himself also needed time to make a final settlement with Senju Hashirama.

Let's part on good terms.

If they meet again in the future, they might be enemies.

Uchiha Madara had such an intuition.

Seeing Uchiha Madara's attitude soften slightly.

The Uchiha Grand Elder's mood became even worse. He realized that Uchiha Madara wanting to take the family away from Konoha wasn't a joke; he really intended to do so.

But leaving Konoha at this time was something the Uchiha Clan simply couldn't do.

Not only did it involve the family's sacrifices and their respective industries and lands, but they were actually just one step away from the position of Hokage.

As long as Uchiha Madara nodded, they could drape the Hokage robe symbolizing the Hokage over Uchiha Madara tonight..... He had already prepared the Hokage robe for Uchiha Madara long ago!

Uchiha Madara becomes the Kage, the Uchiha Clan controls the entire Konoha, and then Uchiha Madara can do whatever he wants in Konoha, right?

But Uchiha Madara wasn't willing. He wanted to choose to surrender in a situation where the Flying Dragon was riding on the face (winning situation)!

No one could accept such a thing.

However, the Uchiha Clan truly couldn't do without Uchiha Madara now, whether for the position of Hokage or for the future of the Uchiha Clan.

Of course, it was also impossible for the Uchiha Clan to follow Uchiha Madara and leave Konoha now.

Having no choice.

The Uchiha Grand Elder could only think of another way to make Uchiha Madara dispel this idea.

At this moment, he finally remembered the path mentioned by Uchiha Madara that could realize eternal peace.

Damn it!

What kind of path could bewitch Uchiha Madara like this, making him choose to abandon even the position of the Second Hokage?

Subsequently, the Uchiha Grand Elder asked the doubt in his heart.

"Lord Madara, the Uchiha Clan pays such a great price to follow you away from Konoha and pursue that path to eternal peace. Can you tell us what exactly this path is, Lord Madara?"

"We always have to give an explanation to the old, young, women, and children of the family."

"Otherwise, they will absolutely not leave Konoha easily."

The Uchiha Grand Elder said this.

Not only him, but every Uchiha clansman present was very curious.

Even if Uchiha Madara was the Uchiha Clan Leader, they couldn't abandon their hard-earned industries and wander the ninja world for such a casual reason.

They didn't have Uchiha Madara's enlightenment.

Uchiha Madara frowned, a hesitant expression instantly appearing on his face.

He hadn't actually failed to consider this question.

—Should he tell the family about the Eye of the Moon Plan recorded on the family stone tablet?

After some thought, Uchiha Madara chose to continue keeping this secret.

Since the family's ancestral stone tablet had already made restrictions, and only Uchiha with sufficiently strong pupil power had the ability to understand the content recorded on the stone tablet, there was no need to tell the clansmen.

After all, Uchiha clansmen with sufficient strength would automatically know this plan, and it would be useless for Uchiha clansmen with insufficient strength to know.

Moreover, the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique makes all mankind sleep forever in a beautiful dream, and not everyone would accept such a thing.

For example, Senju Hashirama.

Uchiha Madara knew Senju Hashirama's character very well; he would not approve of such a thing.

There were so many Uchiha clansmen present, and it was inevitable that people would talk. Once the plan was leaked, things would become very difficult.

So this plan still needed to be kept secret for a long time.

Thus...

Uchiha Madara crossed his arms over his chest and responded in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Originally, according to your strength, you are not qualified to know this matter yet."

"But I can tell you that this path to realizing eternal peace is recorded on the family's ancestral stone tablet."

Uchiha Madara said this.

This matter-of-fact tone was truly too arrogant, and even the Uchiha clansmen present began to get restless.

What do you mean we are not qualified to know this matter yet?

You want us to drag our families away from Konoha and wander the ninja world, and in the end, you give such an outrageous excuse to brush us off?

Do you really think that just because you are the Clan Leader, you can do whatever you want in the Uchiha Clan!
