"Ha ha ha…"
Hearing that Shigeru wanted to stop fighting, Madara laughed contemptuously.
You upset my brother, you provoked my clan, you want me to forget that? How can it be so easy!
However, just as Madara was about to act again.
"Brother!"
A voice was heard.
Following the sound, Izuna was seen arriving at the edge of the training ground.
Shigeru turned to look at Izuna and smiled "Hey Izuna, you even went to look for your brother after losing the fight. Are you sure you're not a little kid?"
"I didn't do that!" Izuna immediately looked at Shigeru.
Shigeru didn't speak, he just looked in Madara's direction and spread his hands, meaning, if you didn't do it, then what is your brother doing here?
Izuna was speechless. He turned his head and walked towards Madara.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Madara saw Izuna approaching and said directly "This guy dares to attack you. I have to teach him a lesson!"
After hearing this, Shigeru immediately replied, "Hey, Madara, it's your dear little brother who challenged me on his own initiative. Aren't you being unreasonable?"
"Huh?" Madara was stunned.
He originally thought that Shigeru took the initiative to look for trouble and beat up Izuna, but now what Shigeru said was different from what he thought.
Izuna at his side felt embarrassed upon hearing this and whispered, "That's right, brother, I took the initiative to challenge him."
"…"
However, Madara was still proud after all, even if he was wrong about this whole matter, he will not apologize.
Besides, it is an indisputable fact that Shigeru hit his beloved younger brother. How could he admit his mistake easily?
Seeing this scene, Shigeru smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Looking at Madara who turned his head to the side, Shigeru waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the place where he was waiting before.
The other five members of the Hagoromo clan quickly followed. After all, they were still in foreign territory and it was best for everyone to stay together.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, Madara's voice sounded from behind.
Shigeru turned his head, "What's wrong?"
Madara looked at Shigeru seriously and said, "Among the people of our age that I know, you are the second strongest ninja. I, Uchiha Madara, recognize you as a powerful ninja."
Hearing this, Shigeru was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are strong too, I acknowledge you too, Madara!"
The second? As expected, the first should be Hashirama.
No one surpasses Hashirama in Madara's heart //(This was added by the translator :p)//
After this, Shigeru and the five members of the Hagoromo clan turned and left.
On the other hand, Izuna had another idea.
'If he is second, I should be the first, my brother really thinks highly of me.'
Thinking like this, Izuna couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Izuna, why are you smiling so happily?" Madara looked at Izuna beside him with some confusion.
"Nothing." Izuna smiled and shook his head.
…
The five chuunin were kneeling on the tatami. Only Shigeru crossed his legs and sat up straight.
If it weren't for the fact that it would affect the Hagoromo clan's image in front of the Uchiha clan, Shigeru would have wanted to lie down with his arms outstretched.
"That kid named Madara is amazing!" Finally, a Chuunin couldn't help but say.
Another chuunin nodded, "That's right, this is the first time I've seen a boy who can stand on par with the young patriarch."
This time, the fawning chuunin immediately retorted, "The young patriarch is more powerful, if the young patriarch had used that powerful ninjutsu, the young patriarch would have won a long time ago."
"Yes, yes!" The chuunin beside him immediately agreed, "As long as the young patriarch uses that technique that is so fast, the young patriarch can definitely kill the boy called Madara in an instant." This viewpoint of the sycophantic chuunin immediately aroused everyone's agreement.
Yes, the young patriarch has not yet used his special ninjutsu. If he had, the young patriarch would have won a long time ago.
Thinking of this, everyone suddenly laughed. Our young patriarch is better than the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan.
It's great!
Seeing the excitement on the faces of the five clan members who began to argue non-stop about what moves Shigeru would use to kill Madara.
Suddenly, Shigeru spoke up, "Alright, keep a low profile and stop discussing this topic, talking about killing the young patriarch of the Uchica clan while we are in his territory, is like provoking death."
Although I'm now 80% sure that I can instantly kill Madara with Ice Jump there are still some things that worry me.
What if Uchiha Madara dies and meets an old man in the afterlife, then awakens Indra's chakra and resurrects him, awakens the Mangekyo and kills him with the Susanoo sword?
So it's best not to fight to the death with Uchiha Madara unless it's the only option.
However, the other five people's ideas are completely different from Shigeru's.
When they heard what Shigeru said, they immediately stopped the discussion with a smile.
The young patriarch is right, after all this is the Uchiha clan's territory, it is best not to be too arrogant and keep a low profile.
At that moment, Zenitsu returned with an elite jounin and two jounin.
"What are you talking about?" Zenitsu asked curiously.
The five chuunin who were originally kneeling immediately stood up, and then the fawning chuunin cupped his fists and saluted Zenitsu, "Zenitsu-Sama, the young clan leader has just defeated the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan, so we are relatively happy."
After hearing this, Zenitsu had no doubts, but looked at Shigeru in admiration, "You can actually defeat the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan, the young patriarch is truly amazing!"
Shigeru waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's just a tie."
"The young patriarch could still have won!"
Shigeru smiled "Zenitsu-San, don't stand all the time, sit down."
Only then did Zenitsu sit down and the others followed suit.
The Warring States Period was a highly hierarchical society. As long as the third elder, Hagoromo Zenitsu, was still standing, it was impossible for others to sit down on their own initiative. Only after Zenitsu sat down were other people allowed to sit down.
However, Shigeru is not bound by this rule.
On the one hand, it was because of Shigeru's identity as the young patriarch, and on the other hand, it was because of Shigeru's strength.
Of course, the most important point is that because his subordinate's talent point was used on him, Zenitsu's favorability towards Shigeru will continue to increase, so Zenitsu no longer cares about these rules, but other people don't know these things.
Looking at Zenitsu who was sitting down, Shigeru asked, "Zenitsu-San, how is the negotiation with the Uchiha clan going?
