Naruto: The Not Motivated Uchiha

[Ding, it has been detected that the host’s age has reached thirty. The system is about to activate. Do you confirm activation…?]



“…No, no, no, NO!!!!”

“?????”



In Konoha Year 2, Uchiha Madara, on the verge of leaving the village, was stopped by a curly-haired figure. Madara’s expression softened.



“Cousin, you don’t need to persuade me. My mind is made up.”



“Cousin, I don’t have much to offer, but take this with you. Don’t let yourself suffer out there.”



Uchiha Gin pressed a storage scroll into Madara’s hands, bidding him a tearful farewell.



Years later, after capturing the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Madara rested and casually opened the scroll his cousin had given him. He stared in deep thought at the mountain of gold bricks and several unfamiliar ninja tools inside.
