The Light of Darkness | Madara Uchiha

32: Cunning Jirū

Guys, I wrote this before Boruto was even a thing. So no Jirū is not Jigen/Jiren.

In fact, I should change it up since the new information regarding that clan.

"Did you find any traces?" Madara bellowed to the Jōnin he brought on. Luckily he left his imouto behind due to the fact of the mission being S-Ranked.

He found the location, but no sign of that disdained Feudal Lord at all. Madara's hands clenched vigorously as he activated his Sharingan in case it would be a surprise attack. His anger was fusing through his veins whereas, the others shuddered in their place.

It was pure silence, nothing dared to disrupt the clear silence in the pure burgundy red cave.

Still, nothing yet erupted the silent cave that engrossed around them in the deceitful night. Madara wasn't having it with the silence. He was dying to smash in the face of Jirū. Flashes of Aiyama's body lying on the ground dried from dirt and blood turned his blood cold. Even if it were Izuna, Madara would have his way and kill the man. Aiyama was more than family, she was sentimental and thought of as a prize. He wouldn't dare tell her that, or else he'll have to deal with her boiling rages that make his eardrums explode sometimes.

"Madara-sama!" Kuroha Sarutobi stood up as if he was trying to decipher something important. Madara just gave him a death glare to speak and not to tacit.

"T-There is a stone tablet here... I don't know what it says." Kuroha looked back down at the tablet hoping Madara could indeed read it with his prowess. It looks blank with normal eyesight, but there has to be something hidden within it.

"Move." Madara didn't ask but ordered the shinobi. The other Jōnin around him didn't bother him and just stood back and observed. Small whispers amongst each other were only heard.

"Hmph. There is actually nothing."

Lies.

"Just a plain tablet that you found. Seems convenient enough you fell for it." Madara seethed through his teeth. It gave out part of a small plan of Jirū's plan. Turning the nations into slave country economy? Was this a trick or just a fake tablet? Madara couldn't imagine what this was turning into. Would other Feudal Lords want this as well?

More lies.

"B-But!—"

"Enough! We have to find where this mongaloid inbred disgrace of a being is hiding." Madara knew exactly what part of the tablet said as he can read parts of it.

That man he fought... He is no ordinary man. Could he be...

"Get back!"

And an explosion commenced in their place.

"Aiyama!" The voice of Izuna pursued her as she marched towards the entrance of the village. She didn't want to tell anyone where she was heading towards. She was terrified of where Jirū's whereabouts were. And Aiyama can not sense Madara's chakra anywhere in the Fire Nation and that says something. She was somehow connected to him with a short-range distance.

"Izuna... I might be branded as a missing-nin for my next sin. I loathe that unlawful council that puts down your clan with no remorse. Madara-san has done so much for this village and even allowed Hashirama to take the Hokage position. I managed to convince Tobi-kun to forget most of the past. I need to help Madara with this upcoming war. I can not bear the feelings of losing him, you or the village everyone here built." Aiyana turned her head towards the midnight haired Uchiha who looked quite shocked by her words.
