Chapter 311 : 15th Review!!

Time is like a speeding train; in the blink of an eye, it has brought us to the day twenty days later when the light curtain will open.

Night, the space of Tobirama.

Uchiha Madara and Izuna, who had switched bodies and regained their youth, arrived at the Hokage Building with confused expressions.

"Hashirama, why did you want Izuna and me to come here?"

As soon as they entered the office and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, Madara's brows furrowed.

Though he had been in Konoha for the past twenty days, he wasn't used to being around too many people.

Because of this, he didn't even go back to the Uchiha clan.

Izuna followed Madara closely, and since his older brother didn't return to the Uchiha, he wasn't interested in going back either.

Especially after knowing that the Uchiha clan had betrayed his older brother back then, he had even less interest in returning.

"Heh heh, I called you here, of course, to show you something good."

Hashirama waved his hand, signaling Madara and Izuna to sit beside him.

Madara didn't refuse and sat next to Hashirama, bringing Izuna with him.

"Today is the last day of the twenty-day deadline. You don't try harder to convince me, but still have time to come here and waste it?"

"Well, when it hits eight o'clock, you'll naturally understand."

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see."

Sitting in the chair, Madara closed his eyes to rest.

Izuna, on the other hand, noticed Kagami, who was speaking softly with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Are you from the Uchiha clan?"

Kagami's clothing had the Uchiha clan's emblem on the back.

It was hard for Izuna to pretend he didn't see.

"Yes, Lord Izuna."

Kagami calmly nodded.

When he and Hiruzen returned to the village, Tobirama had already informed him about Madara and Izuna's situation.

To be honest, Kagami had a very complicated view of the two clan ancestors, Madara and Izuna.

Izuna wasn't so bad. After all, he died early, and there was very little information about him in the clan.

But Madara was different.

As one of the previous leaders of the Uchiha clan, his reputation within the clan was mixed.

Those who praised him believed that without Madara, there would be no Uchiha clan as it is now.

They believed the Uchiha might have been wiped out by the Senju clan during the Warring States period, and there would be no chance of joining Konoha.

On the other hand, those who criticized him felt that Madara's prideful nature was his downfall. Even after joining the village, he didn't change at all, still acting recklessly. 

The moment things didn't go his way, he left the village, showing no sense of responsibility as a clan leader.

It was clear that there were far more people in the second camp than in the first.

Growing up in such an environment, Kagami's impression of Madara was predictable.

Luckily, he still had his teacher, Tobirama Senju.

Although Tobirama hated Madara, he didn't intentionally degrade him. He gave Kagami a lot of honest information about Madara.

These two completely different perspectives left Kagami feeling very confused about Madara.

This was also why, when he saw Madara and Izuna, he quietly spoke to Hiruzen.

He wanted to ask whether he should go talk to Madara and Izuna.

But before he could wait for Hiruzen's advice, Izuna came to talk to him first.

"Lord Izuna, what instructions do you have?"

Seeing that Kagami was a bit nervous, Izuna paused for a moment, then smiled gently and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just here to greet you."

He lightly patted Kagami's shoulder to ease his tension before continuing, "I want to know the current situation of the Uchiha clan. Can you tell me?"

"Of course, no problem. But it's almost eight o'clock, how about we talk after the light screen?"

"Alright, it's a deal then."

Izuna smiled calmly, patted Kagami's shoulder again, and then returned to his seat.

"What do you want with that kid?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to understand the current situation of the clan."

Madara knew his younger brother Izuna well.

As soon as he heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at Izuna, saying, "Brother, it's been so long. I don't hold a grudge against them anymore."

Madara understood Izuna, and Izuna understood Madara.

He knew that Madara truly didn't blame those who had betrayed him anymore because, in his heart, those people had long been strangers, no longer members of the clan.

This was also the reason why, in the original story, Madara didn't get angry when he learned the Uchiha clan had been destroyed, according to Black Zetsu.

A group of strangers had been wiped out, so why should he be angry?

But Izuna was different.

He still considered himself a member of the Uchiha clan, so for those who betrayed his brother, he felt he must exact punishment.

"Don't worry, big brother. I know what I'm doing."

Seeing that Izuna had made up his mind to cause trouble, Madara didn't say anything more.

He didn't want his relationship with his brother to be affected by those strangers.

[Hi, hi, hi~! Dear viewers, how's it going? I'm your host, Hayashi Sora, with today's top updates.]

At 8 PM, the light screen appeared on time in the Hokage office on two different timelines.

When the light screen appeared, Madara immediately stood up.

With his sensory abilities, he actually didn't detect how the light screen had appeared.

This left him extremely shocked.

"Madara, no need to be so surprised, just relax and watch,"

Seeing the others in the office acting as if this was routine, the always-proud Madara forced himself to hold back the question he wanted to ask and sat back down.

[In the previous episode, we discussed the female lead of Naruto, Sakura Haruno, and one of the hidden hands behind the ninja world, Obito Uchiha.]

[Now, in this episode, let's talk about two other hidden hands.]

[The Shura of the ninja world, Madara Uchiha, and the great director, Black Zetsu.]

Upon hearing his name mentioned by the light screen, Madara raised an eyebrow and couldn't stop himself from looking at Hashirama.

Hashirama chuckled and repeated what he always said.

"Just relax and watch."

[In Naruto, there are many strong and ruthless characters, but at the top, it's gotta be old Madara.]

[As the penultimate big boss, Madara dominates with his flashy moves, intimidating abilities, and that "I need a good smack" look, his aura alone crushes the final boss, Kaguya.]

[Compared to Madara, who loves to make an entrance, Kaguya looks like a brainless fool who forgot where she put her house key.]

"Creak~"

Madara finally couldn't hold back anymore and slammed his hand down on the armrest of his chair, crushing it.

His face turned dark as he pointed at the light screen and asked, "Hashirama, can you explain what the light screen meant by that 'I need a good smack' look?"

"Eh~? The penultimate big boss didn't ask, and neither did the final boss Kaguya, but you're only asking about appearance?"

Hashirama looked at Madara in surprise, then suddenly seemed to remember something and was enlightened.

He teased Madara, saying, "I never thought, never thought, that you'd start paying attention to your appearance too. What's up, are you interested in some girl from a clan? Should I go and help you propose?"

"...You idiot, don't say nonsense."

Madara angrily opened his right hand and slammed it onto Hashirama's face, growling, "Who was talking in the light screen? Tell me, I'm going to kill them."
