Chapter 49: A short story about the Uchiha Clan

In recent days, Natsuo's experience with the effect of Uzumaki Yoko's 'Physical Healing' has shown that this healing ability is really good, only surpassed by his own Mangekyō technique 'Ame no Uzume'. 

Although 'Physical Healing' itself does not need to be supplemented with spiritual energy, as it is only a by-product of healing. But it does need to consume a little more chakra. 

Of course, Natsuo mainly uses the Mangekyō technique 'Ame no Uzume', which is the name of the technique he obtained by awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan. But so far, Natsuo has not felt any deterioration in his vision, and the consumption of pupil power is even less than if he performed ordinary genjutsu. 

This 'power' is what gives Natsuo the confidence to be able to keep a group of wives 'happy'. Uzumaki Yoko's 'Physical Healing' is just its supplement. And alternating use between both techniques, it is the perfect complement that the Uchiha clan needs to revival. 

Combining the two techniques, Natsuo feels that he can 'fight' continuously for several days and nights without rest! 

"Thinking about it, I should expand the scale of recruitment!" 

So, Natsuo once again began to select wives for the revival of the Uchiha clan. With a wave of his hand, he recruited many female ninjas who signed up for the task. 

He even almost caused the male ninjas of Konoha to go berserk. 'If you take all the beautiful women worth courting, leaving none to others, what should we do?' 

As a result, under the subconscious resistance of the men, some negative public opinion began to spread in Konoha. 

"The kunoichi who marry into the Uchiha clan are all for money! They are all gold diggers!" 

"For the sake of marrying into a wealthy family, you give up so much. You are lowly!" 

"It's better to cry in the Uchiha mansion than to laugh in a rented house... Why have women become so lowly?" 

"Every one of Natsuo's wives is lowly!" 

They may not necessarily think this way sincerely, but they all subconsciously spread such words. Although this kind of talk definitely wouldn't be said in front of Natsuo. 

However, the quietly circulating rumors gradually spread to the Uchiha clan. Several of Natsuo's wives heard those rumors and their eyes turned red. 

To be honest, among Natsuo's wives, there are indeed a bunch of gold diggers, who initially pursued becoming rich wives. But Natsuo is handsome, speaks well, is generous, caring, and even impeccable in bed. 

Over time, he naturally completely captured the hearts of many of his wives. Otherwise, those spies would not have stayed in the Uchiha clan for just over two years, and except for Ayako who was brainwashed by Orochimaru, no one else betrayed him. 

So, when Natsuo heard the rumors in Konoha, he simply regarded those people as talking nonsense. However, the wives couldn't take it anymore. They felt that their self-esteem had been shattered. 

Some of the wives, with the proudest personalities, even petitioned Natsuo for a divorce. Since they did not want to tarnish the reputation of the Uchiha clan. 

And at this moment. Natsuo stood up to speak for his wives. Although he wanted to go and beat up all those annoying people but considering that he was an Uchiha who was only interested in having children to revive the clan, he still couldn't demonstrate his combat power. 

Then he publicly stated, "I love each and every one of my wives, and I believe that my wives also deeply love me." 

"Perhaps the initial reason we came together was not so pure, but to be able to come this far, our feelings are beyond doubt." 

Then he seriously reasoned, stating that with the value of his own wives, even if they were to divorce now, they could still live a worry-free life. Since they no longer lack money, yet they willingly stay by my side. Isn't it just love that remains? 

But there were still people who questioned, "Since it's all love, why do you still have to give them money? You are tarnishing love with money!" 

If you give money, then it's impure love! 

However, Natsuo told a true (made-up) story recorded in the history of the Uchiha clan. 

It is said that Uchiha Madara's father, Uchiha Tajima, issued a special order during the Sengoku period, as many Sharingan of the Uchiha clan were lost and he wanted to recover them. 

It was stipulated that Uchiha clan members who recovered Sharingan that had fallen into the hands of outsiders could receive a large sum of money as a reward from the clan. 

Once, Uchiha Madara defeated an enemy in battle and captured a pair of Sharingan. 

Out of his love for the clan, he handed over the Sharingan to the clan but refused to accept the reward, hoping that the reward could be used to strengthen other aspects of the Uchiha clan, rather than on him, who already had considerable strength. 

However, Uchiha Madara's father, Uchiha Tajima, earnestly said, "Madara, what you're doing is wrong." 

"Accepting the rewards from the clan won't affect your love for the Uchiha." 

"But by refusing to accept them, thinking that you're morally superior and honorable, you're actually using morality to pressure others not to accept rewards. How many clan members in the future will be willing to fight to recover the Sharingan that has fallen into the hands of the enemy?" 

After a few days, Uchiha Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, saved a Uchiha clan member from the enemy at the cost of being injured in battle. 

Grateful, the clan member gave Izuna their strongest secret technique as a token of gratitude. 

As the second son of the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Izuna didn't actually need a regular clan member's secret technique, but he still accepted it. 

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Tajima happily said, "Izuna did a great job. Now our Uchiha clan will definitely be willing to help our clan members!" 

Sure enough, the Uchiha clan became more united and stronger. Uchiha Madara was greatly shocked by this. 

From then on, he started motivating the clan members with both interests and morality, leading the Uchiha to unity, bravery, and hard work, quickly making the Uchiha reach their peak. 

After the First Hokage created Konoha, Uchiha Madara, based on his father's guidance and his own personal experiences, believed that pursuing peace solely through personal morality and mutual understanding was a mistake. 

According to Senju Hashirama's method, the shinobi world would never achieve peace! 

Therefore, he advocated joining forces with Senju Hashirama, to eliminate the other nations and create a world dominated by Konoha, bound by interests, and truly capable of achieving peace. 

Unfortunately, Senju Hashirama rejected him, leaving the other nations as they were, forcing future generations to continue shedding blood. 

This story, quickly spread throughout Konoha. And everyone was amazed to hear it. 

Although Uchiha Madara was an enemy who betrayed Konoha, his past reputation was still deeply ingrained in the hearts of the older generation of shinobis. Through oral storytelling, it reached the ears of the new generation of shinobis. 

After hearing this story, Sasuke also approved of the ideology of this Uchiha ancestor and couldn't help but search for clan records to find a more complete story. 

People who had personally seen Uchiha Madara, such as the Third Hokage and Danzo, couldn't help but recall his personality and imagine the scene of Uchiha Madara being educated by his father, causing them to burst into laughter. 

Others were caught in deep thought—was Uchiha Madara's way of doing things right or wrong? If Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara joined forces to eliminate the other Shinobi Villages, would we no longer have to go through these wars in the shinobi world? 

So many people have died in these wars! 

Many of Natsuo's wives also stood up for this Uchiha story. Yes, we didn't care before, but now we've completely fallen in love with Natsuo. We didn't want to accept Natsuo's money, but for the revival of the Uchiha, we have no choice but to accept it! 

We don't love money! We do it for the revival of the Uchiha! 

If Natsuo needs it, we can give him all our money right now to contribute to the Uchiha clan! And many women actually gave all their money to Natsuo, making him have to return it one by one. 

After a series of actions, the public opinion finally calmed down. 

Some of the younger generation of hawkish shinobi strongly agreed with this 'guiding people with interests' story and believed that Konoha should conquer the world in order to truly bring peace to the shinobi world. 

They even developed a strong curiosity about the unseen Uchiha Madara. As a result, even the way they looked at the Uchiha clan became more favorable. 

"Finally, it's over," Natsuo sighed in relief. He had put in a lot of effort to calm the storm by relying on public opinion. 

"To think that they wanted to rely on public opinion to prevent kunoichi from marrying into the Uchiha clan and thus affect the resurgence of the Uchiha? Danzo, you old harpy, how have you already recovered from the explosion, you can't be calm without being hit again?" 

Well, although Natsuo had no evidence, he felt that this sudden public opinion storm was Danzo's doing. 

Whenever any incident happens to the Uchiha clan in Konoha, Shimura Danzo at least has to be responsible for half of it! After all, besides him, who else would target the Uchiha clan? 

[Danzo: I'm innocent! I didn't do it this time. It was you who influenced the men of Konoha and caused their spontaneous behavior. It has nothing to do with me!] 

Regardless of the truth, Natsuo decided to retaliate against Danzo. He changed into black clothes and put on a mask. And he headed towards the Root base.
