Chapter 103 Is that what you all think too?
reconciliation...
This decision didn't actually cause much of a reaction within the Uchiha clan... after all, everyone was genuinely exhausted from fighting.
Even so, many people still have doubts about this. After all, the destruction of the clan's territory and the death of the clan leader are real wounds in the hearts of every Uchiha. It is a bit of a stretch to expect them to let go of their hatred so easily.
Madara was well aware of this principle. His father was besieged and killed by the Senju clan. Although Senju Butsuma finally died, his own father could never come back.
He didn't even know if his decision was really right, but he believed that reconciliation was necessary, and his two younger brothers, as well as some elite ninjas in the clan, also expressed their understanding. This was the key reason why Madara was able to make this decision.
In the morning at the Uchiha clan compound, Madara had already arrived at the reception room early, accompanied by his two younger brothers.
As for why Yan Yi also wanted to attend, it was because the Feathered Robe Clan sent a letter last week saying they would be visiting today...
This was the first meeting between the two allied families since that fierce battle.
"Uh... everything should be fine, right? Are the people who are going to greet them in place?" Ban scratched his head, trying his best to look like a clan leader.
Yan Yi knelt down next to Brother Ban, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, brother, everything has been arranged in the same way Father always did."
"Hmm...that's good!"
Madara was a little nervous; the last time he was nervous was during a clan meeting. This time, he was representing the Uchiha clan and its allies, representing the face of the Uchiha, and could not afford to be careless in the slightest.
Yan Yi didn't reply, but lowered her head, her gaze somewhat obscure.
The head of the Hagoromo clan also died in battle, so it's easy to guess who the Uchiha people who came today are...
Sigh... Yan Yi still feels sorry for Takita. He's only two months older than her, but he's forced to inherit the family business. He must be under a lot of pressure.
I wonder if he's matured at all? Hopefully, he won't keep yelling about wanting to marry me like before... it's too awkward.
Before long, a ninja knocked on the door and came in...
"Clan Chief, the Feather Robe Clan's... uh, the clan chief has arrived." The man's expression was somewhat strange, after all, he saw that the Feather Robe Clan Chief's successor was still a little boy.
I thought Madara was unlucky enough to be appointed to a critical position, but I didn't expect the Hagoromo clan to be even worse off.
Madara's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. Although he had seen that noisy brat before, that was in public; this was a formal occasion...
"I hope nothing goes wrong..." Ban secretly glanced at his younger brother sitting next to him, pondering silently.
While Madara was still lost in thought, the group from the Hagoromo clan had already entered through the gate. However, to Madara's surprise, the young master had only brought one subordinate with him.
Takita was a little nervous, but he still exchanged a glance with Madara, then nodded and took the initiative to introduce himself: "I am Hagoromo Takita, um... the current head of the Hagoromo clan."
"Ahem... Hello... I am Uchiha Madara... the current head of the Uchiha clan..."
"..."
The atmosphere instantly fell into a deathly silence because... this way of greeting was incredibly awkward. Neither of them had ever experienced such a situation before. Not to mention Takita, Madara was just a boy who had just outgrown his childhood.
"Uh... Clan Chief? Don't just stand there, let's invite them to sit down!" Tianhuo winked at Ban.
"Ah...right..." Madara realized what was happening and immediately said, "Sit...please sit down..."
Upon hearing this, Takita obediently sat down, directly opposite Madara.
He's a bit rusty with his lines now. He clearly memorized what he was going to say before coming here, but now that he's actually here, he can't quite remember...
"Well... let's not talk about the war. Everyone has suffered far too many losses. I came here mainly to check on the situation of the allied families, and also..."
Takita still couldn't remember the official lines, so he could only try to explain them in plain language.
"Furthermore, I am here on behalf of the Hagoromo clan to maintain our alliance with the Uchiha clan! Clan Chief Madara... what do you think?"
What do I think? Madara was a little numb. Wasn't it supposed to be all official lines? That's such a pain. Madara only realized then that those cumbersome rules were completely unnecessary. The Hagoromo clan had fought alongside the Uchiha for so long; they were practically brother clans. These heartfelt words didn't need any embellishment.
"Okay...of course, okay. I agree...um, I agree on behalf of the Uchiha clan." Madara abandoned all pretense and gave a direct affirmative answer.
Whew... Takita breathed a sigh of relief. He thought his remarks were inappropriate and impolite, but now it seems... they were meaningless?
However, with so many people present, it was rather awkward.
"Um... there's one more thing..." Takita suddenly found it difficult to speak, and his voice softened...
Seeing his expression, Yan Yi's heart skipped a beat... No way?! Please don't propose like this! It's so incredibly embarrassing!
"It's about... the Senju clan."
When Takita uttered that word, he was already prepared to be glared at by a dozen Sharingan eyes at the same time, after all, in terms of the extent of the damage... the Uchiha clan was much more severely affected than his own Hagoromo clan.
"Uh..." Yan Yi was completely stunned...
It wasn't a marriage proposal? That's great... Judging from his expression, I thought he was still the same unreliable person, but now he seems... to have matured a lot.
No one knew what Yan Yi was thinking. Although Takita really wanted to see Yan Yi a few more times, he had to represent the Hagoromo clan and discuss issues with the Uchiha clan leader.
The next topic... didn't turn out so pleasantly.
After all, the Senju clan is involved, and this clan can be said to be the mortal enemy of the Hagoromo and Uchiha families, at least that was the case three months ago when they were fighting.
"You mean... you want to reach a reconciliation with the Senju clan?"
Ban frowned slightly. He didn't know what this young master was thinking. Logically speaking, he should be making a fuss about revenge...
Takita's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly became a little nervous.
Seeing Madara frown, he assumed Madara disagreed with his opinion and was determined to fight the Senju to the death...
"that..."
Takita tentatively spoke up. Although he had tried his best to play the role of a clan leader, he was still afraid and nervous in front of Uchiha Madara, who was several years older than him, and their sinister chakra fluctuations.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! He's Yan Yi's older brother... Don't be nervous! Yan Yi said he's easy to get along with..."
Takita was preoccupied with his own thoughts, trying his best to remain calm, but his furrowed brows and clenched hands betrayed his nervousness.
Madara was actually relieved; at least the Hagoromo clan had expressed a desire for reconciliation, which was all the better. Although he didn't know what the little boy sitting opposite him was thinking, he certainly seemed much more sensible than before.
"Well then, we've been thinking about this too, let's discuss it in detail..."
The freckled-haired man agreed; it was indeed his own idea. And Yan Yi, standing beside him, was looking at him with an exceptionally intense gaze...
After receiving Madara's reply, Takita felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He relaxed and his body, which had been sitting upright with tension, immediately shrunk by half a degree.
Seeing that things were progressing, there was no need to rush. After all, Takita was now the head of the Hagoromo clan, and he seemed to particularly enjoy playing with Yan Yi, so there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
After discussing some less important details, such as routine topics like resource scheduling and sharing, it was already noon...
Ban glanced at the sky, waved his hand, and said to the person next to him, "Can we start eating now?"
"Chieftain... that's called the opening banquet."
"Ugh, they're all the same, so troublesome."
Ban pursed his lips, secretly plotting to abolish all these useless rules so that everyone could live together in one village, without distinction...
