Chapter 327: All Mangekyou Uchiha Are the Same
"Well..."
Yasushi hesitated before ultimately deciding against mentioning that the remaining living Uchiha had already been transplanted with Hashirama cells. Strictly speaking, they were all already mixed-blood.
For this type of clan-supremacist ancestor, just go with the flow!
"Then we won't use Senju bloodlines!"
"Speaking of which, the Senju clan has also vanished from the shinobi world now. Senju Hashirama's granddaughter Tsunade—I personally beheaded her."
"Well done!" Izuna immediately beamed with joy, finding this junior clan leader increasingly pleasing to the eye.
"Such an evil clan as the Senju should have been eliminated long ago!"
"Since the Senju family has disappeared, I have no objections to you mixing other clans' bloodlines into clones."
"Originally our Uchiha clan never practiced exclusive intermarriage anyway. Regardless whether mixed-blood children can awaken Sharingan, we recognize them as clan members."
"You're doing well as clan leader—much better than certain people. More responsible."
Speaking, Izuna viciously glared at his brother again with an unfriendly expression.
His most trusted brother failed keeping his promise, causing the entire Uchiha clan's extinction. This matter remained Izuna's eternally unbearable pain—not something he'd easily forget.
Current Madara had completely lost his past high-spirited appearance. He resembled an elderly man in his twilight years—standing there dejected, seemingly having lost interest in everything. He showed no reaction to Izuna's words whatsoever.
Without his grand ideals, Uchiha Madara was no longer that shinobi world legend.
Now he was merely a walking corpse!
His appearance pained Izuna's brother-obsessed heart involuntarily. But Izuna firmly believed that once the Uchiha clan revived, once his brother rediscovered meaning in protection—that invincible brother from years past would definitely return.
Izuna's obsession was the Uchiha clan. So in his eyes, everything ultimately collapsed toward this obsession's direction.
He wouldn't believe his brother despaired because the "bring peace to the shinobi world" ideal shattered. He'd only think his brother suffered dejected pain from being deceived into mistakes.
After all, in his view—what was "shinobi world peace" anyway? So what if it couldn't be achieved?
How could such illusory things compare to blood-related clan members' safety and lives?
So he firmly believed this trivial matter fundamentally couldn't defeat his invincible brother. At most, his brother would feel dejected for a few days. Once he saw the clan's revival hopes later, his brother would naturally rally again—just like after countless past failures.
As expected—all Mangekyou Uchiha were exactly the same! All living only in their own obsession's world!
Not one damn normal person among them!
Yasushi naturally proved no exception.
Madara was already dead. Wanting revenge, using previous methods against Itachi and Obito wouldn't work.
Madara's entire being had entered some transcendent realm.
He didn't care about clan members. He'd even schemed against his best friend Hashirama. Nothing worldly could affect him anymore.
Even knowing the Moon's Eye Plan was fake, with Mangekyou Uchiha's peculiar obsessions, he'd probably stubbornly charge down that path anyway—eliminating Otsutsuki Hazetsu while continuing the plan.
So merely letting Madara know it was fraud proved insufficient. He also had to realize that even killing Zetsu, even completing Infinite Tsukuyomi—it remained futilely useless.
Only this way could Madara receive the blow, facing ideal-shattering despair.
But this still wasn't enough. So Yasushi arranged that subsequent series of spiritual shocks.
Yasushi wanted destroying his faith, ruining his ideals, negating his life—completely and thoroughly denying everything he'd persisted in, everything he'd strived for.
They say killing someone means destroying their heart. Since people can't die twice, only heartbreak remained.
From current appearances, the effects seemed quite good.
Yasushi watched the present Madara with a smile covering his face. That walking-corpse appearance made Yasushi extraordinarily satisfied internally.
Izuna remained completely oblivious, his mind entirely filled with the Uchiha's revival and glory.
"I can't wait to see the clan revive!"
Izuna emotionally patted Yasushi's shoulder while surveying the surroundings, asking strangely:
"This environment feels unfamiliar. Isn't this our Uchiha clan's compound?"
"Oh, this is the Land of Fields—Otogakure territory. I have business with Orochimaru here, commissioning research help."
"I see. When do we return to the compound?"
"Uh..." Yasushi awkwardly scratched his head. "Our Uchiha clan's compound was in Konoha Village's area. But I've already destroyed current Konoha Village."
"Right now, Konoha Village is occupied by demonic monsters. Our Uchiha compound is naturally no exception."
"However, I've separately occupied the Land of Rivers' Artisan Village—temporarily using it as headquarters."
After listening, Izuna immediately frowned while waving dismissively:
"Ugh, someone else's territory—how can that compare to our own clan compound?"
"Konoha Village was something that Senju Hashirama created. If you destroyed it, so be it. But we must reclaim our Uchiha clan's compound!"
"Here's what we'll do—brother and I will make a trip, exterminate those demonic monsters, then reclaim that place."
"No more Konoha Village either. From now on, that's our Uchiha clan's territory."
Yasushi considered carefully. Konoha Village was already destroyed anyway. Rebuilding a new village didn't seem impossible.
Nothing else aside, Konoha Village's location was absolutely prime real estate—fertile soil, abundant products. Perfect as a base.
So Yasushi nodded:
"Lord Izuna makes a good point. We absolutely must reclaim our own clan compound."
"Don't talk about you and Madara making a trip. Regardless, all the Uchiha clan are returning anyway. Might as well have everyone act together."
"Additionally, I've developed several new Uchiha clan members. Why not call them all too? Treat it as a team-building activity while letting everyone become familiar with Lord Izuna."
"Excellent, excellent!" Izuna naturally felt very happy, repeatedly agreeing.
So Yasushi had Izuna independently chat and meet Yashiro, Tekka and others. He personally sought out Orochimaru to say farewell while explaining his plans.
"After reclaiming the compound, we'll be stationed there permanently. If you have matters, just send someone with messages."
"I'm taking Shin with me. Later I'll build him a larger laboratory at the compound. No need continuing cramping your space here."
After listening, Orochimaru's brow immediately furrowed.
