This year's Uchiha New Year was very busy. Uchiha Madara went out for a year of training. After returning, he was grabbed by Tajima and taken to each family in the clan to deliver New Year gifts, chat, refuse to be urged to get married, say goodbye, and then continue with the next family.

Izuna and Kyojuro took the list given by Tajima and sent warmth to the families of orphans and widows on the list, to see if there was any help the clan could provide, and to urge the children who had reached age to go to the clan school in the spring.

On the way, we also met many young couples who had just gotten married this year. They were vying to hug Kyojuro and want to share in the joy of their big baby.

After the clan tour was over, all the Uchiha family members who had been traveling around the country this year rushed back to the Fire Country clan. Uchiha Madara, who was confirmed to be the next clan leader, had to meet and chat with the clan members together with Tajima and listen to their work reports.

This is also what a patriarch must do.

Uchiha Madara: Where is Izuna? Why doesn't Izuna come with us? (Trying to pull her brother along)

Izuna: I'm sorry, brother Ban, I'm very familiar with these people, it's your fault for hiding away.

Kyojuro: Come on, Uncle Madara!

Among these tribesmen, there are managers who live in the workshops, businessmen who run shops in the capital, caravans traveling between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire, and intelligence agents who lurk in the darkness.

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the three Uchiha clan leaders who officially took over this clan activity for the first time were exhausted.

When they thought about the fact that these tasks had been handled by Tajima alone before, the three people's respect for Tajima was like a surging river.

Tajima placed a small gold square on the foreheads of the three children who fell to the ground one by one.

"This is your first time, so you'll be quite tired. Later..."

“Will there be fewer problems later?”

Uchiha Madara struggled to get up.

“I got used to it later.”

Paralysis...

Kyojuro turned seven this year, and Tajima began to treat him like an adult.

Although the requirements for him were not as strict as those for Uchiha Madara, he was still required to remember the names and appearances of all the Uchiha who returned to the clan as much as possible, and to have a general understanding of their current work.

As for Uchiha Madara... he must listen to the clan members' work reports for the year, and then summarize and tell Tajima about it.

Quannai's task is to understand the local situation through the words of these tribesmen in order to collect intelligence and better plan next year's work.

Kyojuro swore that he had never seen so many Uchiha!

Although they have different temperaments, some are weathered and some are naive, they all have black hair and delicate faces, and wear dark blue tribal costumes.

They came together to form a prestigious surname: Uchiha.

The Uchiha gradually grew into a towering tree in the Land of Fire, deeply buried in the land of this country.

……

The next day, the first day of the new year, it was the Uchiha tradition to go to the shrine on the back mountain to worship and hope for the blessing of the gods.

The Uchiha Shrine is very exquisitely built, and there are cherry trees planted around the platform for praying.

Uchiha Tajima stood at the front and rang the first bell of the New Year.

He thought about the three children who were now standing behind him, and prayed that their ancestors would bless the Uchiha with a prosperous future.

Madara likes fighting and loves his family, so he wants to cultivate his martial arts ability and innate sense of responsibility. He wants to be the sword of Uchiha and maintain the will to fight in a peaceful environment.

Izuna is sensitive to emotions, smart and quick-witted, so his intelligence analysis ability is cultivated. He wants to be the Uchiha Kage, analyze complex situations, and assist Uchiha Madara to gain benefits for the family.

Kyojuro is an open-minded and good boy. He values ​​love and returns love. Due to his special background, Tajima tries his best to make him feel the love of the Uchiha family. When faced with a choice, he chooses Uchiha. He wants to be the root of the Uchiha.

He thought that he had raised three good children for the future of Uchiha. Under his leadership, Uchiha found a new way out.

Perhaps, as a patriarch and a father, he did a good job.

……

Kyojuro followed his father and after paying homage took a closer look at the family heirloom stone tablet in the clan land.

Along the way, Haoyi introduced,

"The history of this stone slab is even older than that of the Uchiha clan. It is said to have been left by the Sage of Six Paths. What can Kyojuro see?"

"The Picture Story of the Uzuki Goddess,"

Kyojuro stared at the stone slab in the center of the shrine wall, feeling that something was wrong.

The smell on the stone slab was obscure and difficult to understand. After feeling it carefully, I felt a sense of incongruity.

He frowned. Why did this aura sound similar to that of a ghost?

Is it some special power in this world?

"This stone tablet has its own magical properties. The content engraved on it changes according to the degree of the reader's pupil power."

Uchiha Haoyi showed his three-magatama Sharingan, "What I am seeing now is the method of opening the Mangekyō. When Second Uncle and Madara opened the Mangekyō, they should have seen other contents."

At this time, Uchiha Madara also walked into the shrine.

"Madara, what do you see on the slab?"

Uchiha Madara pursed his lips and said, "Nothing, just talked about the development direction of the Mangekyo's abilities."

"I'm going out first, Koichi-nii, Kyojuro."

Koichi waved his hand and continued to talk to Kyojuro, "Once Kyojuro opens his eyes, you will be able to experience the magic of this stone slab for yourself."

As the two left the shrine, Kyojuro sighed,

"Dad, you are amazing. You can even understand texts written thousands of years ago."

Hao was stunned for a moment, "What text from thousands of years ago?"

"It's a stone slab. The stone slab was left behind thousands of years ago. The words on it should also be from thousands of years ago."

Kyojuro was completely unaware of this. He was thinking about the notes of successive Flame Pillars that were kept at home in his previous life. He could only understand notes from the past one or two hundred years. For those that were older, he could only barely understand them based on the annotations left by his father.

It's amazing that Uchiha can understand texts written thousands of years ago without any effort.

After hearing what Kyojuro said, Koichi's relaxed aura disappeared.

"Kyojuro, go play with your friends. I have something to tell your uncle."

"Good dad."

Looking at his son's gradually walking away, Haoyi's face became more and more ugly.

The text on the stone slab should be from thousands of years ago, why could they understand it so smoothly?

As far as he knew, the writing system they used now was the result of two major reforms.

The differences between Chinese characters and Manyogana and Hiragana in ancient Japanese are very different.

But why are there so many Manyogana in the stone tablets thousands of years ago? !

The Manyoshu is only 700 years old. How could people thousands of years ago use Manyo Gana?!

There is something wrong with the slate!

After finding Tajima, the two looked into each other's eyes. Relying on the Sharingan, Koichi told Tajima everything that he had noticed after being reminded by Kyojuro.

Finally, he added, "Uncle, this is just my speculation. Could it be that the stone tablet was re-carved by a certain generation of Uchiha, which led to the current writing habits?"

Tajima shook his head.

"No, only the text was changed. The original painting of Kaguya was not changed. Someone deliberately changed the text to mislead the Uchiha clan."

The text on the stone tablet is all about the Sharingan. If there is a problem with this part, it means that there is a problem with the method of upgrading the Sharingan currently used by the clan.

He thought about what he had seen with the kaleidoscope, and his expression was as grim as if he had discovered that his ancestral grave had been dug up.

Oh shit!

……

After returning home in the evening, several people in the clan leader's house held a family meeting.

Especially the two who opened the Mangekyō Sharingan. After Tajima's explanation, Madara was obviously more relaxed and started playing the cat's paw game with Kurama.

Tiandao glanced at his eldest son and said nothing, just letting him be happy.

Then, Koichi asked, "How did Kyojuro realize that something was wrong with the slate?"

"I sensed the presence of someone above, it doesn't look like a living person."

"!! Not a living person???"

The three senior Uchiha were all shocked. They originally thought that some ninja who wanted to harm the Uchiha had maliciously modified the stone tablet, but Kyojuro actually said that the aura on the stone tablet did not sound like a living person? ?

Haoyi, who was afraid of ghosts, wanted to struggle.

"Is it... Is it the breath of the Six Paths Sage? Sages are not living people either."

Kyojuro shook his head. "It felt sticky and cold."

Isn’t that a ghost!

For a moment, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing all around. Although they were in a warm room, the three elder Uchiha felt that something was moving around them.

Uchiha Haoyi couldn't help but tremble: "...Is this true?!"

Which ninja among them doesn't have a few lives on their hands? If there really is an evil ghost, then... then...

Wouldn’t that mean that the enemies who died back then could crawl back and seek revenge on them?

Kyojuro straightened his chest. At this moment, he understood his mission in this world.

If the one who did it was non-human, then he would be the one to cut off its head.

He's a professional ghost hunter!

------

After the New Year, spring is coming to the Fire Kingdom.

Apart from the fact that Uchiha Tajima inexplicably selected a few clansmen to go to the Land of Demons with Uchiha Koichi, there was nothing strange happening in the clan, and the people in the agricultural department were also preparing for spring farming step by step.

Kyojuro, remembering what his master had said about raising seedlings, also ran to his house early to report.

After having a bowl of sweet potato porridge at Boyan's house, Kyojuro took out all the cabbage seeds he had collected.

When the cabbage pitcher no longer throws out cabbages, it means that they are producing seeds. At this time, you need to wait patiently for a few days. When the seeds fall off the cabbage pitcher with a gentle rub of your hands, you can harvest the seeds.

After harvesting, they should be dried in time, impurities removed, and then wrapped in waste paper for storage.

Boyan checked the seeds that Kyojuro brought. The seeds were full and had not rotted or sprouted.

"well done."

After Kyojuro turned seven, he no longer taught Kyojuro how to take care of plants as he did when he was a child. Instead, he let him learn from nearby farmers and figure out how to save seeds and plant plants on his own.

"By the way, the experimental field is going to be expanded this year. Can you use the detonating cherries to clear two more plots of land someday?"

"Okay, Master! I'll go tomorrow."

Kyojuro first soaked the seeds in warm water and sprinkled water on a wooden trough filled with soil in the house.

"Tell me why you do this?"

"Because the seeds are stored dry, they can germinate faster after being soaked in water and then planted in soil with sufficient moisture."

"Yes! Kyojuro is so smart!"

Who wouldn't like an apprentice who can draw inferences from one instance and apply it to other instances?

After the soil was completely soaked by water, Kyojuro took out the seeds from the water, scattered them evenly on the soil, covered them with a thin layer of soil, and finally, covered the wooden trough with a mat made of corn leaves.

"That's it!"

"Come and take a rest. We'll have to wait five days to see if the seeds sprout."

Boyan always keeps a lot of snacks that Kyojuro likes to eat. After washing his hands, Kyojuro sits next to his master and slowly thinks about what to do next.

"After they sprout, they need to be divided into individual plants. When they grow bigger, the indoor temperature needs to be gradually lowered so that they can adapt to the temperature outside as much as possible. Finally, they can be transferred to the outdoor fields."

"My uncles said that they want to continue to test the conditions for growing peas and corn together. I will go to open up the land tomorrow. The cherry seeds left behind can be used to plant new cherry trees. Do you want a new cherry tree, Master?"

"I have cherry blossoms in my yard, which may affect the fruiting of cherries. Let's plant them at your grandmother Keiko's house."

"Okay!"

"Don't forget to reserve some manpower in advance. You will summon new plants this year."

------

Tachibana was sitting in the tea room drinking tea when he heard people talking outside.

"Master Zhenghe, you are back."

"Well, is Dad in there?"

He put down the book in his hand, stood up, straightened his clothes, and walked out.

"After being away for such a long time, Lihua is still talking about it..."

He looked at the acquaintance standing next to Zhenghe and was stunned for a moment.

"Chief of the Thousand Hands?"

"I am the Senju Buddha, and I am here to greet Master Tachibana."

Senju Butsuma rarely changed out of his ninja attire and came to visit in formal attire.

Tachibana Jie Zhiping glanced at Zhenghe, and Zhenghe made a gesture of [cloth, business].

He understood and smiled.

"Since you are a guest, why are you brought here? You should go to the front hall. But in this case, Chief Qianju, please try my tea."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

"Zhenghe, go get some refreshments."

After sending everyone away, Tachibana Jie Shihei sat back in his seat.

"Let's be frank. We are acquaintances. I wonder why the Thousand Hands Clan leader came here this time..."

Senju Butsuma took the teacup handed over by Tachibana Keishihei with both hands.

"Haha, I also heard some rumors, and I want to invite you to visit my home."

Tachibana raised a brow, remembering the news from Uchiha years ago.

The result so soon?

I didn’t know before that the Senju family had such ability.

"Okay, it just so happens that these few days are New Year holidays, and with the protection of Qianshou, it would be nice to go out for a walk."

He was going out to play, not specifically to the Senju house.

Senju Buddha smiled innocently, "The Senju family will provide you with the best service."

Don't worry, he understands.
