Chapter 375

Konoha Year 55, January 1st, Morning, Land of Whirlpools Cemetery.

Masahiko sat next to his grave, watching a group of Maelstrom clansmen come and go, paying their respects to the deceased ancestors.

Every year on the morning of January 1st, the Land of Whirlpools would hold a large-scale ancestral worship event. This was the first time that Masahiko participated because he really didn't have any ancestors to worship …

Among the Maelstrom clansmen buried in this cemetery, the one with the highest seniority was Jingtong's grandfather — Masahiro Uzumaki. He was the same generation as Masahiko, and the others were all Masahiko's juniors. Thus, Masahiko could only pay his respects to his eldest nephew and his three disciples … oh, and himself.

"Ancestor Masahiko Uzumaki, please bless me that everything will go smoothly for the next year, and that all my wishes will come true." Masahiko half-knelt in front of his own grave.

"Great Grandpa, what are you doing?" Kushina's angry voice came from behind him.

Masahiko turned his head and said, "You don't want to worship? It's very effective. "

"Then I might as well worship you directly. What's the use of worshiping an empty grave?" Kushina said helplessly.

"The sincerity comes true." Masahiko smiled and stood up.

Looking up at Minato, who was guiding Naruto to worship Nanako, and then looking at Nagato and Konan in front of Iko's grave, Masahiko's eyes finally fixed on the three innocent children in front of Hitomi Arai's grave, Kimimaro, Haku, and Naruto.

Hitomi Arai was a single dog and no one loved him. Dai and Kai, who had a good relationship with him, were still in Konoha. Masahiko forced all the children he picked up to him, and at the same time, gave the three children the identity of Maelstrom.

"Is this considered accepting grandchildren?" Masahiko shook his head and laughed, "Who cares, anyway, Hitomi Arai won't have to worry about no one worshiping him in the future. Where can he find such a good teacher like me?"

As time passed, the worship ceremony gradually came to an end, and everyone gathered in front of Masahiko.

Masahiko's eyes swept across everyone and smiled, "It's been a long time since we reunited. Let's go to Ichi-Ramen to help Sara prepare the reunion dinner. "

…

At the same time, at the entrance of Konoha.

A small team of Senshoku and Uchiha left Konoha in a hurry. The ninjas in these two teams were the real elites of the two clans.

The Senju Clan was led by Rope Shu, and beside him were Michiyama and Itachi, followed by three elite Jonin Jonin of the Senju Clan.

The Uchiha clan was stronger. Kuroto personally led the team, followed by Fugaku and his eldest son. He also brought along Obito, Shisui, and two Uchiha elders.

The two teams left Konoha almost at the same time and headed west. Those who didn't know would think that they were looking for a place to duel.

However, that's not the case. After all, the two clans also needed to worship their ancestors …

Since the establishment of Konoha, the dead and old members of the Senshoku and Uchiha clans were buried in Konoha's Hero Tomb. The tombs of the ancestors from the Warring States period were left in the Ancestral Land of the two clans.

Every year at this time, the patriarchs of the two clans needed to lead a team to worship their ancestors. Of course, due to the long history, there was no need for too many people in the procession. It was enough to bring a small number of elites from the clan.

Two kilometers west of Konoha Village, the Senshoku team turned north, and the Uchiha team turned south, each rushing to the Ancestral Land of their respective clans.

As the distance between the two teams widened, the Obito also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't stand the heavy atmosphere.

Looking up at the Patriarch Uchiha Kuroto who was leading the way, the Obito moved closer to Shisui and asked curiously, "Little Brother, what does the Ancestral Land of the Uchiha Clan look like?"

As an orphan of the Uchiha Clan, this was the first time that the Obito was lucky enough to join this team.

"Except for the tombs of the ancestors, there is nothing else," Shisui responded in a low voice.

"I see." The Obito was disappointed.

"Obito Uchiha, remember to be serious when you worship the ancestors!" One of the Uchiha Elders reminded him.

The Obito showed a little helplessness, the stubborn old man in the clan always made things difficult for him … But he quickly adjusted his expression and said solemnly, "I know!"

A few minutes later, the group arrived in front of the Uchiha Ancestral Land, but Kuroto suddenly stopped and frowned while looking around.

The two elders of the Uchiha Clan also frowned and came forward, "Patriarch …"

"Well, I know."

Kuroto nodded, he naturally found that the two people guarding the Ancestral Land were missing. The two knew that he would lead the team here today to worship the ancestors, and now they have not appeared in front of everyone, indicating that something must have happened to the Ancestral Land.

"Obito, use your Space Ninjutsu to check first … Huh?" Kuroto said.

From the Uchiha Ancestral Land, a man slowly walked out: "After waiting all morning, you finally came? Now the kids of Uchiha Clan are not so active in worshiping the ancestors. "

The two elders of the Uchiha Clan were slightly stunned, showing a look of horror: "Patriarch, he is …"

The Obito looked puzzled and looked at Shisui. "Who is it?"

Fugaku slightly sideways, shielding his eldest son behind him: "If there is a fight, quickly go back to Konoha for help."

Kuroto looked solemn: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Uchiha Madara … Sama."

Madara frowned and looked at Kuroto: "Is it the Uchiha Kid of the Izuya Family? You're also very old. "

"You haven't changed at all. This should be the forbidden technique of the Tokuma sensei, Impure Tensei. Who is the caster?" Kuroto stepped forward and stood in front of everyone.

Madara took off the Uchiha fan behind him and put it on the ground: "Don't be so nervous. I came here just to pay my respects to the ancestors and take a look at the Uchiha Clan's current situation. "

Uchiha Kuroto's eyes were slightly closed: "Is the caster not here? That is in Senshoku. "

"Smart kid." Madara looked calm and did not deny it.

The two talked a few words, and the Obito and Shisui gradually understood the identity of the person in front of them.

"Ancestor worship, ancestor worship, this is the ancestor worship," the Obito whispered.

"Oh?" Madara's eyes were cast on the Obito, and for some reason, the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he was: "The smell of the old guy …"

Suddenly there was a roar in the distance, attracting everyone's attention.

"Has it begun?" Madara looked calm.

"Patriarch, what should we do?" An Uchiha elder said.

Kuroto took a deep breath and said: "The disputes with Senshoku are all internal fights, and when we encounter foreign enemies, we must advance and retreat together. Get ready to fight! "

Madara looked a little surprised: "You mean, I am … a foreign enemy?"

Kuroto nodded with a heavy face: "From the day you betrayed Konoha, you are a foreign enemy!"

Madara looked at the Uchiha people in front of him and laughed. Susa's coat slowly rose, "The current Uchiha Clan has become so docile and docile …"

Kuroto shook his head and said: "Not docile, but longing for peace and stability, Shisui, do it!"

Shisui froze for a moment, saw Kuroto nodded slightly to him, no longer hesitated.

The kaleidoscope in his eyes rotated wildly, looking at Madara's eyes: "Kotokami!"
