Chapter 113 Konoha, I, Uchiha Madara, return as the king!
Evening
The setting sun slowly sank into the horizon, dyeing the sky with a gentle orange-red color.

"Konoha. Really..I miss it."

"I, Uchiha Madara, am back!"

Uchiha Madara stood on a high ground, looking at the Konoha Village not far away, and couldn't help but sigh.

Ever since he faked his death and escaped from the battle with Hashirama, Uchiha Madara has never returned to Konoha. He was obsessed with opening the Rinnegan and then implementing his Moon Eye plan.

"The Sandaime Hokage of Konoha, the junior of Uchiha, I hope you won't let me down."

Uchiha Madara made hand seals and performed the transformation technique. After dressing up, Qiao Zhuang slowly walked towards the Konoha Village. This time he returned to the village specifically to investigate Uchiha Nan, find a chance to let Uchiha Nan see the truth of the ninja world, and then persuade Uchiha Nan to join the great plan of the Moon Eye!
"Is Konoha developing so well now? We haven't even entered Konoha yet!"

Uchiha Madara walked on the hard cement road. Although the sun had not completely set, the street lights on both sides had already been turned on. There were vendors on both sides of the road, selling simple rice balls, tea, and so on.
Once you enter Konoha Village to buy food, the price will be a little higher. Shops and street stalls all charge money. It is still a no-man's land outside the village. If you save some money, the price of food can be cheaper.

Workers who finish their night shifts in sweatshops often visit this place. They get tired of eating protein bars all the time and always want to change their taste. This roadside stall is cheap and filling. It's great.
Konoha is already so wealthy that they have built roads outside the village?
And this light is so bright.
The hawking of street vendors attracted a group of workers who were getting off the night shift. They paid for dinner and squatted on the side of the road in groups of three or five. Under the light of the street lamps, they boasted and joked while eating dinner with big mouthfuls.

Uchiha Madara looked at the scene around him and his heart was filled with ripples. Any ordinary person who came to Konoha for the first time would be amazed by this scene.

Uchiha Madara couldn't help but slow down his pace. Perhaps because he was old, Uchiha Madara was enjoying this atmosphere, tranquility and harmony.
"This is...my statue?"

When you walk to the gate of Konoha, you will see two huge stone sculptures standing on both sides of the gate, one on the left and one on the right, guarding Konoha like door gods.

Uchiha Madara was a little curious. He was very clear about his identity in Konoha. He would definitely be assigned the identity of a traitor by Senju Tobirama. Of course, he did defect from Konoha with the title of traitor. Why would his statue be placed at the gate of Konoha like Hashirama's?
"A tribute to Uchiha Madara, the uncrowned shadow of Konoha"

There was a line of red words engraved on the base of the statue. After reading it, Uchiha Madara was instantly excited.
Uchiha Madara was the founder of Konoha. He gave up the title of the first Hokage to Hashirama Senju. According to their plan, he, Uchiha Madara, would become the second Hokage of Konoha.
Just because of a certain sinister villain, Uchiha Madara had no chance to be the Second Hokage of Konoha. It was also the opportunity that later made Uchiha Madara determined to open the Rinnegan according to the method under the stone tablet and realize the Moon Eye Plan.

That day, Uchiha Madara was betrayed, the Senju did not accept Uchiha, and people were still full of suspicion and jealousy.
Despite this, Uchiha Madara still retains a desire to become the Hokage of Konoha. Although it is very weak, it does exist.

"Uncrowned Shadow. Uncrowned Shadow sounds pretty good."

Uchiha Madara murmured, and immediately guessed in his heart who was the mastermind behind all this. The only person in Konoha who could clear his name and have the power to place his statue at the gate of Konoha Village was Uchiha Nan.

It’s really interesting. Uchiha Madara becomes more and more curious about Uchiha Nan.

Before entering the village, Uchiha Madara had a premonition that he would definitely gain something interesting this time when he returned to Konoha.

"stop!"

"What's your name, age, gender, where are you from?"

The ninja in charge of guarding the gate of Konoha stopped Uchiha Madara who was about to enter Konoha.

"Hey! Run Er, be nicer and don't scare me."

"Don't argue with him, sir. This is a routine inspection. There are too many merchants coming to Konoha to do business recently. Now there is a new rule that everyone entering and leaving Konoha must register here."

The ninja standing next to Runji had a much better tone. After telling Uchiha Madara about Konoha's new rules, the ninja guarding the Konoha gate took Uchiha Madara into the room next to the gate.

There is an illusion specially designed by Konoha in the room, which is specifically used to identify spies with bad intentions from other ninja villages. Even weaker senior ninjas will fall into it.

"Blemish column"

"56 years old"

"Come to Konoha to do business."

Uchiha Madara naturally discovered the illusion in the room. The impact of this level of illusion on Uchiha Madara was negligible. He casually reported his false identity and passed the inspection smoothly.

"Mr. Madara-hashira, welcome to Konoha."

"This is a poster for immigrants to Konoha. Buy a new house in Konoha. It has complete supporting facilities, electric lights, water heaters, and nearby food, drinks, and entertainment. As long as you buy a house in Konoha and live there, you can get a Konoha resident ID card."

"If you want to buy a shop in Konoha to do business, the current policy is..."

"This is a map of Konoha, with Konoha's most prosperous commercial street marked on it. The entertainment city is brightly lit even at night."

The ninja on duty, in accordance with Uchiha Nan's request, publicized Konoha's new policy to the merchants coming and going from Konoha, encouraging merchants from all over the ninja world to settle down in Konoha and invest.
By the way, he also handed Uchiha Madara a map of Konoha, welcoming merchants coming to Konoha to spend money there.

"Okay. I understand."

Uchiha Madara looked at the ninja on duty who was like a salesman, sparing no effort to promote Konoha's new policies, which shops were worth investing in, and which commercial street was the most fun.

A bit behind the times.
Putting away several promotional posters on the table, Uchiha Madara had not been back to Konoha for a long time. The current Konoha has changed so much from what he imagined. Uchiha Madara decided to tour Konoha according to the map given by the ninja on duty.

On the map, there was a ninja wearing a Konoha green vest, with a string of bold and long eye-catching red words coming out of his mouth.

"When you come to Konoha, you have to go shopping."

Let's go to this place first, listen to people's advice and eat a full meal. Since Konoha vigorously promotes this commercial street, this place must be.
Soon, Uchiha Madara entered Konoha. He strolled through the streets of Konoha. The street lights, the pedestrians coming and going, the sounds of insects chirping in his ears, and the cool evening breeze made Uchiha Madara, an old widower who had lived in a dark underground cave all year round, extremely enjoyable.

This kind of life is really good. By the way, why do we have to hide in an underground cave to open the Rinnegan?
I am Uchiha Madara. Hashirama is dead. Although I am old now and my vitality is still being sucked away by my eyes, so what?

There is still no one in the entire ninja world who can be his opponent!

It means that Guangming Yuanda buys a new house in Konoha and lives in Konoha. What is the difference between trying to open the Rinnegan in Konoha and trying to open the Rinnegan in an underground cave?

As soon as this thought arose, it lingered in Uchiha Madara's heart like a spell, taking root and sprouting in an instant.

Uchiha Madara was enjoying the old man's life of taking a walk. Not far behind him, a group of pitch-black creatures followed his steps.

"What happened to this guy Uchiha Madara recently?"

"It's just watching a movie, why can't you suppress your inner loneliness? Wouldn't it be better to just stay in the underground cave and open your Samsara Eye?" "Now you've even come to Konoha!"

"This is truly a sin!"

Black Zetsu's heart was filled with sadness, as the opportunity he had been planning for a thousand years finally made some progress.

A member of the Uchiha clan who can use the Rinnegan, Uchiha Madara, appeared and believed the story he left on the stone tablet. He is simply the best tool man given by God to Black Zetsu.

What a pity. The tool man has had new ideas recently and has become restless. He even dares to show his face and run to his old employer, Konoha. What if he is discovered? Will he just break through Konoha and overturn the entire ninja world?
Black Zetsu kept complaining about Uchiha Madara in his heart, but his legs and feet were very realistic and followed him all the time, fearing that something might happen to Uchiha Madara.

“There are so many people”

Uchiha Madara walked forward following the light and came to the commercial street marked on the map. This was the most prosperous street in Konoha. The wealthy merchants, nobles of the Land of Fire, and the ninja clans of Konoha had all invested huge amounts of money in this street. This was the most active free market in the entire ninja world.

The nobles who moved to Konoha love to spend money on this street. They spend money on shopping, buying all kinds of luxury goods. Konoha has specially launched luxury goods for them. For example, bags and perfumes are all marked with the Konoha logo, and the prices start to soar.
If you want to enter Konoha's luxury goods store, you must have Konoha's unique black card, which is a symbol of status and financial strength. Except for the first batch of black cards issued by Konoha to nobles, the remaining black cards are obtained through internal referrals. You must be recommended by two black card owners and be reviewed by Konoha before you have a chance to get a black card.

This way of purchasing that highlights one's status accurately targets these nobles who have money but nowhere to spend it. This has also attracted a large number of wealthy merchants from the ninja world to open shops here, and they have made outstanding contributions to Konoha's GDP.

Uchiha Madara shuttled through the streets, and pedestrians passing by on both sides were like a tide. The prosperous business dazzled Uchiha Madara, an old man who had lived from the Warring States Period to the present, and he wandered around like a curious baby.

The heart that had been silent for a long time was nourished by the popularity of Konoha, and he temporarily forgot the Moon Eye Project that he had been thinking about in his mind. The prosperous world was exactly the ideal world that the old antique Uchiha Madara had always pursued, and all this was right before his eyes.

“I’m a little hungry.”

Uchiha Madara walked around for a long time and his stomach started to protest. Even though he was a human being, he still needed to eat and eat.

“Tanghulu.”

"Smelly Tofu"

"Mom, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, fragrant and sweet roasted sweet potatoes."

Uchiha Madara followed his instinct and came to the snack street. The whole street was full of temptations of delicious food. It was a forbidden place for people who ran to lose weight, and it was an area that could not be touched at all.

Considering his own teeth, Uchiha Madara thought for a while and decided to choose food that was easy for him to chew - roasted sweet potatoes.

Uchiha Madara walked to the roasted sweet potato stall. The owner of the stall was not an adult, but a little boy who was holding a stool and concentrating on doing his homework.

"Kid, I want to buy two baked sweet potatoes."

Uchiha Madara has been hiding in underground caves all year round. The last time he communicated with children was probably ten years ago. He spoke a little haltingly, with a smile on his face, trying his best to make his expression as kind as possible. He, Uchiha Madara, has always been very gentle to children!
"Okay, grandpa!"

Seeing that business was coming, the little boy immediately put down the pen in his hand and skillfully took out two roasted sweet potatoes from the stove.

After Uchiha Madara paid the money, the little boy saw Uchiha Madara standing there eating sweet potatoes, and kindly lent him a stool, then went back to writing.

"sweet"

Uchiha Madara sat on a small stool and peeled the sweet potato skin, revealing the yellow sweet potato flesh inside. He took a bite and it was soft and sweet. Looking at the scene of people passing by, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Hashirama. This is a life like this."

Uchiha Madara's old problem came back again. He fell into his daily memories and kept muttering to himself.

"Grandpa, if you are thirsty, there is water here, free of charge."

The little boy pointed to the tea bowls on the stall, where boiled water was provided free of charge. The considerate and humane service would attract more customers.

"What's your name, kid?"

"Sosuke. Sosuke Ito."

Uchiha Madara's thoughts were interrupted. He stood up slowly, walked to Sousuke's side, and looked at Sousuke's homework book - Chakra is the body
"Are you a student of the Ninja School?" Uchiha Madara became a little interested and looked at the child carefully. The weak chakra fluctuations, the operation was obscure, and the manipulation was...
Uchiha Madara, who stood at the top of the ninja world, saw through Ito Sosuke's talent at a glance - in the future he would be a weak Genin, a trash who could be killed with an ordinary shuriken on the battlefield.

Uchiha Madara felt a trace of sadness in his heart, as if he saw a life passing away. This ninja world is still so cruel.
"Well, I just enrolled in a school in Konoha this year. My mother and I were lucky to escape to Konoha. She works in a factory and bought a house in Konoha with a loan."

"Hokage-sama is a very kind man. He gave us jobs and gave me the opportunity to go to school. As long as I work hard for 20 years, I can pay off the house."

"After school in the evening, I have time to come here to help my mother sell sweet potatoes."

Uchiha Madara revealed everything about Ito Sosuke's family background and work in just a few words.

Good boy. Uchiha Madara smiled.

"The teacher said that my talent is very poor. I can only be a Genin."

"As long as I graduate from the Ninja School and become a Genin, Konoha will arrange a job for me to work in an engineering team. The engineering team can make a lot of money by doing plastering, which is much more than what my mother makes in the factory."

"I heard from the teachers at school that in the future, Konoha will open factories all over the ninja world, and it will need a lot of new multi-functional compound talents. But this requires further study at the new school opened by the Hokage."

"Hokage said that technology is the primary productive force. Only by mastering knowledge can we change our destiny and the entire ninja world. In order for ninjas to engage in production, in addition to ninjutsu, they must also learn more about physics and chemistry."

"???"

Uchiha Madara was a little confused for a moment when he heard what the kid brother Ito Sosuke said.

Is this what Ninja schools teach now?
Don't teach me how to kill people?

 Dear readers, happy National Day, I want votes!!
