After learning about Madara and the clan's situation from Uchiha Ryun, he told Uchiha Ryun to go back first and wait for news.
Ryun did not say much more, nodded, and left. This time he remembered his lesson and did not use the Flying Thunder God Technique, otherwise who knows how his grandfather would complain about him.
But before leaving, he gave Uchiha Izuna a summoning creature, a small white snake, saying that any news could be delivered through it.
Uchiha Izuna shook his head, turned and walked into the cave. He patted his cheeks, then the corners of his mouth turned up into a smile.
Of course, he had to face his brother in his best condition. He hummed a little tune as he entered the cave.
Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth turning up. He did not like loneliness, he was just forced into loneliness. The so-called idea that strong people enjoy loneliness is all bullshit.
"Brother, I'm back." Uchiha Izuna grinned.
"Mm, is he gone?" Madara asked, though he already knew the answer. The upward curve of his mouth showed he was happy inside.
"Gone. I sent him away." Izuna laughed, then frowned. "Brother. How can you stay in this damp cave all the time. Come out for a walk with me."
Izuna directly grabbed Madara's arm. Madara nodded. "Fine."
Only Izuna dared to pull him around like this directly. As for others, a certain idiot flashed through his mind, making him pause momentarily.
A strand of hair on Izuna's head twitched, his expression unhappy. He snorted coldly. "The younger brother has come back to life, but the older brother is thinking of other men. Sigh."
Izuna pretended to be hurt, looking very dejected. Although Madara knew his younger brother was fooling around, he never tired of it.
"Alright, stop being glib. Are we going out or not?" Madara asked.
"Going. Let's go quickly." Izuna said cheerfully, linking his arm with Madara's and walking out of the cave. His reaction was almost the same as Izuna's initial one, he used his hand to shield his eyes.
After not seeing sunlight for so long, he was also a bit unaccustomed to it, but he adjusted quickly.
"Brother, where is this?" Izuna looked around. Besides knowing the scenery of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire, he really hadn't seen other places.
"This is the Land of Water, more accurately, an island near it. There are all kinds of fresh fish here." Madara said calmly. Anyway, he hardly ever ate these.
Izuna pouted. "I don't want to eat fish. I want to eat dango, I want to eat inarizushi."
Madara fell silent. Actually, his taste was almost the same as Izuna's, especially the dango and inarizushi their mother made.
Looking at his younger brother who had just been revived, Madara nodded. "Okay, then let's go to the Land of Fire. There should be plenty of good food there."
"Okay. Thank you, brother." Izuna grinned, rubbing his face against Madara's arm, breathing heavily with excitement.
Madara's smile hadn't stopped all day. Originally, the most important things in his eyes were Izuna and his clan. But the clan had already betrayed him. Now that Izuna was back, Izuna's matters naturally became the top priority.
"Whatever Izuna wants, even if I have to dig up Tobirama Senju's grave and fight Konoha, I am willing." Madara said with a smile.
'What about Hashirama Senju's grave?' Izuna only dared to mutter quietly in his heart. That white-haired guy was somewhat hateful, but in his eyes, his brother surpassed everything. That black long straight haired pillar was the guy he hated the most.
"Mm." Izuna nodded. The two quickly headed towards the Land of Fire. After the two left, Black Zetsu emerged from the ground, his face ferocious, his eyes looking at Uchiha Izuna with resentment and venom.
"Why aren't you dead. A dead person still has to come back to the surface to ruin my plans. And that Uchiha Ryun, suddenly appearing, suddenly his strength skyrocketing, and he knows many secrets. Just what is going on."
"Mother, tell me, can I still save you." Black Zetsu looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Konoha Village
Uchiha Ryun stretched lazily. Finally, he could rest. Then a message came from Izuna.
Izuna told the little white snake to tell Uchiha Ryun, "I will take big brother to the Land of Fire. At that time, we might be secretly watching you. Perform well, maybe big brother will be happy and come back."
Ryun glanced at the message. He sighed. Well, more overtime work.
But, Izuna was quite effective, persuading Madara-sama so quickly.
Ryun couldn't slack off either. So he replied, "Take him to see more of the village's prosperity. Also, ask the villagers about the Uchiha clan's reputation."
After sending the message back, Ryun prepared to be on standby these next few days.
Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Madara used Transformation Jutsu to make themselves look like farmers and entered Konoha Village. They were immediately stunned by the scene before them.
Even Madara's eyes widened. Damn, what's going on. The ground was paved with granite from the Land of Earth. It was not only beautiful, but also solid and convenient for the transportation of vehicles coming and going.
Many merchants who entered looked pleased. "Ah, I must say, among so many villages, no wonder Konoha is number one, the Land of Fire is number one."
"Just look at this floor. How much better is it than the gravel and dirt roads of other countries."
"Yes. Driving a carriage on this, I can't feel the slightest bit of shaking."
Izuna was stunned. Madara was also stunned. Izuna looked at Madara, his eyes full of inquiry. What is this situation.
Madara shook his head. "I don't know. Last time I came, it was still similar to other villages. How did it change so much today."
Izuna's eyes rolled. "Big brother, let's just ask the villagers and we'll know."
Madara also nodded. But he was very aloof. If he had to ask villagers for directions, it was clearly unrealistic.
But Izuna was different. Don't forget, he had once helped his brother lead the Uchiha clan. His speech and emotional intelligence were top notch.
"Old uncle, I am a merchant from the Land of Rivers who came to Konoha. I heard Konoha is vast and rich in resources, so I gritted my teeth and came here today." Uchiha Izuna said with a smile.
The old man was also warm-hearted. "Haha, welcome to you. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask."
Izuna nodded. Then he pointed at the granite floor on the ground. "Although we know Konoha is very rich, isn't this granite floor a bit too wasteful."
The old man looked at him and shook his head. "Narrow."
"Narrow. What narrow. Old uncle, please explain in more detail." Izuna was somewhat curious.
"I said your path is narrow. You are a merchant, you should understand the importance of roads to merchants better than I do." The old man sighed.
"Vice Hokage-sama Uchiha Ryun once mentioned, if you want to get rich, build roads first. Ever since this road was built, many merchants like you have come to Konoha Village. Konoha's GDP has also reached twice that of the same period." The old man said calmly.
"Wh, what is GDP." Izuna was confused. What kind of word is this.
The old man looked at him and sighed. "Young man, go back and read more books. There are many things to learn inside. The times are progressing."
After saying that, the old man left. He seemed to be muttering about illiteracy.
