That day, after Madara and Kamui competed in taijutsu, Tajima called Madara to the study.

After Madara entered, Tajima threw the scrolls to him one by one.

Those scrolls were all filled with news from spies who had been out all year round. Which clan had united with the Senju again, which clan had attached itself to Hinata, and so on. There were many, many more.

Madara read the scrolls one by one and looked at Tajima with some confusion. After careful consideration, he asked: "Father, show me this..."

Tajima's emotions and anger were invisible, and Madara couldn't guess his intentions unless Tajima said it himself.

Tajima tapped the table twice with his fingers and asked, "You are the one who will shoulder the future of the Uchiha clan in the future. I think it is time for you to participate in the decision-making of clan affairs."

Madara has been waiting for this day for a long time. Ever since he and Hashirama decided to become the clan leaders of the two clans, and worked together to end the melee in the ninja world and establish a peaceful ninja world. From that day on, Madara has been looking forward to the day when he can become the clan leader. Some are coming.

Now, his father allows him to participate in decision-making and is no longer just a dispensable spectator. This is definitely a gratifying development.

"Madara, what do you think of this news?"

Tajima asked, and Madara thought carefully and analyzed, "Currently our biggest enemy is still the Senju, but it is obvious that the Hyuga clan is also quietly growing bigger and stronger. While fighting the Senju, father, we should also be careful. Hinata.”

Madara's analysis was exactly the same as that of the Presbyterian Council, which had always focused on Hagoromo and Senju in the past.

The strongest group was fighting, and Hinata was growing up behind them. By the time they reacted, the opponent was no longer something they could manipulate at will.

"Now, we need to start a war with the Senju from time to time. The other tribes don't need to be afraid. What we are worried about is Hinata. The snipe and the clam will fight for the fishermen's profit."

"The father..."

"I met with the leader of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Ryugu, yesterday. It was considered a friendly peace talk. Hyuga Ryugu also has the intention to maintain friendship and peace with Uchiha, but..."

Halfway through Tajima's words, Madara immediately understood and asked seriously: "What conditions did the other party offer?"

Tajima looked directly into Madara's eyes, and after a long while, he said slowly: "To ensure that we don't go back on our word, he asked me to send a son over."

Madara was shocked and blurted out, "He wants a proton?"

Hinata Liuguang, how dare he say this?

The truth was that he was so helpless, he just dared, and got a positive answer from Tajima.

"It's worth trading one son for a few years of peace on the home front."

"But father..."

Tajima added: "Hyuga Liuguang also promised me that their clan and the families attached to them will remain neutral and not participate in the war between Uchiha and Senju. Madara, do you understand what this means?"

Understand, how could I not understand? Although he is only 15 years old, he has been immersed in the battlefield for a long time, and he has been involved in a lot of politics. He knows very well what this means.

Trading a son for a stable rear also cut off the possibility of Thousand Hands uniting with each other.

"If we have to fight, we may not be defeated, but if Hinata and the families who have taken refuge join forces with the Senju, our sacrifice will be too great.

Madara, you must know that no matter what time, you cannot die fearlessly. If you want to ensure that the Uchiha clan continues to multiply and become the top of the ninja world, you cannot hesitate to make some necessary sacrifices. "

"Then Hinata's side..."

"Hyuga Liuguang will also send a clan member over."

Having said that, Tajima is not asking Madara if this is okay, but it is just a notice - I want to send a son to Hinata to be a hostage, and I will choose it from among you three brothers.

Madara had no right to object and could only be forced to accept it.

But it would not be entirely correct to say that it was just a notification. After all, Tajima also gave him another right - to decide the candidate for the proton.

It is said that murder destroys the heart, but Tajima was more ruthless than anyone else in tempering his son's character.

Madara looked at him with innocent eyes, but he did not offer him salvation. He smiled and asked: "Who do you think is better to choose?"

"I'll go." After a brief moment of sadness, Madara said his name.

As if he had known he would say this for a long time, Tajima smiled with satisfaction, not because he was happy for his son's sensibleness, but because he guessed Madara's reaction correctly.

"Don't say such stupid things. You can't do it. You are the future leader of the Uchiha clan, so you can't make any mistakes."

"But my brothers are also the future elites of Uchiha."

Arguing with reason doesn't work at all when facing your father, especially since this father also controls the lifeline of the clan's survival.

Father's power and official power are like two huge mountains, and Madara is unable to resist at all.

"Kamui or Izuna, you choose one."

Silence, long silence.

Madara couldn't make a choice at all.

Tajima could understand Madara's mood at the moment, but he also wanted to let Madara know that when he shouldered the life and death of the entire clan on his shoulders, he could not follow his heart on many things.

The word "do whatever you want" has nothing to do with the leader of a clan.

Be cruel when you should be cruel, be kind when you should be kind, and don't hesitate when you should make a decision.

Patriarch is not just a prestigious title, behind the glory is often unbearable pain.

"This is the consciousness of a clan leader. He must know what to give up. If one day my life is needed, I will never hesitate."

"..."

Tajima forced him and followed his instructions, "Madara, make a decision. No one can help you. This is the determination you should make as the future leader of the Uchiha clan. This is just the beginning, and it is definitely not the end."

"..."

"Whether it's Kamui or Izuna, as long as you say it yourself, my father will respect your choice."

His left hand is his younger brother, and his right hand is also his younger brother. But if he has to choose between the left and right hands, who should he choose?

When you go to Hinata to be a proton, you can imagine what you will face with just your toes. It must be an extremely miserable life.

Can Kamui's body withstand such a day?

Can Quan Na bear such days?

The most important thing is, after this farewell, will he be able to see his brother again?

Seeing Madara's hesitation, Tajima reminded him, "Even pure-blood Uchiha may not be able to open the Sharingan. You should understand how precious the Sharingan is to our clan."

Madara understands and knows that Izuna has activated the Sharingan, but...

"Shenwei has been frail and sick since he was a child, and my father said that his blood is special and he must appear within a hundred meters of me..."

Madara had no intention of favoring Kamui. After Tajima intentionally kept Izuna, he just wanted to tell his father that neither of these two brothers could be sent to Hinata.

But it was clear that Tajima deliberately ignored his intentions.

Tajima said: "In today's ninja world, the most scarce thing is medical ninja. If the two sides are fighting, if the medical ninja is captured, they will most likely survive because they are valuable to the other party."

Kamui's blood itself is equivalent to a medical ninja. Until this moment, Madara completely understood what Tajima meant.

Seeing Madara's pained yet understanding expression, Tajima patted his shoulder.

"If Izuna goes over, he is a straightforward and proud kid who doesn't know how to bow his head. He may not be able to save his eyes in the Hinata family, but Kamui is different. He is used to being cowardly and able to bend and stretch. If the other party is lucky enough to discover his ability, he will I will never kill him."

What if it's not found?

This question is on my lips. What is the difference between asking it and not asking it?

"The two of them are like teeth and tongue. The teeth are hard and can bite many things. The tongue is soft and seems of little use. But one day, all the teeth will fall out, but the tongue will always be in the mouth."

"..."

"So, people with a soft temper are more likely to survive than those with a hard temper."

Looking at it this way, Tajima decided on the candidate from the very beginning.

The so-called letting Madara choose is nothing more than polite words.

"You are both my sons, and I am no less sad than you are, but I am the patriarch, so I cannot show it even if I am distressed."

Excuses are all excuses.

"So, Madara, who do you choose?"

Now that things have come to this, where is his choice?

Madara closed his eyes, and after a long time, he vaguely spit out the name Tajima guided him to say.

"Divine power."
