Chapter 31: A Painful Truth
[Uchiha Madara: Hahaha... Izuna, you think the same way I do. It seems my Uchiha clan is destined to rise!]
[Hashirama Senju: Madara, I've always considered you a good friend. I never expected you to be here gloating.]
[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, I also considered you a friend, but I never said I considered your clansmen as friends as well.]
[Tobirama Senju: You two bastards...]
[Uchiha Izuna: Tobirama, look at the facts. Your Senju clan is finished. Now it's the Uchiha clan's turn.]
[Uchiha Madara: I never thought that what I couldn't accomplish back then would be achieved by my juniors. This is truly gratifying, hahaha...]
[Uchiha Izuna: Hahaha...]
[Uchiha Fugaku: ...]
[Uchiha Mikoto: ...]
Watching these two ancestors laughing wildly in the live stream, Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fugaku, who knew the fate of the Uchiha clan all too well, were at a loss. They desperately wanted to tell these two ancestors the truth—that the Uchiha clan had also been wiped out. But they were also worried that the two would fly into a rage upon learning the truth! After all, the one who had wiped out the Uchiha clan was none other than their own eldest son, Uchiha Itachi!
However, just because Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fugaku remained silent didn't mean others would.
Ren Arakawa: "You two shouldn't celebrate too soon. The fate of the Uchiha clan isn't much different from that of the Senju clan. It might even be worse!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Madara, who had been laughing wildly in the Pure Land, were immediately stunned. The laughter in the live stream room abruptly stopped.
[Uchiha Madara: Kid, what did you say?]
[Uchiha Izuna: You're joking, right? Didn't you just beat up that brat Uchiha Sasuke yesterday? Have you forgotten already?]
Ren Arakawa: "Uh~ This matter is rather complicated to explain. Let the parties involved explain it themselves."
[Uchiha Izuna: The parties involved? Who?]
[Uchiha Madara: Could it be...?]
Uchiha Madara had already vaguely guessed what was going on. However, he wasn't entirely sure.
After a moment of silence, seeing that Fugaku and his wife were pretending to be dead, Ren said impatiently, "Do I have to name you two? Behave, or I'll kick you out and you'll never see your foolish son again."
[Uchiha Fugaku: No, no, no! We'll talk, we'll talk...]
[Uchiha Mikoto: Fugaku...]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Mikoto, don't speak. Let me do the talking.]
[Uchiha Madara: It really is you two! Tell me... what exactly happened to the Uchiha clan?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: Great-grandfather, great-granduncle, this is a long story, but I'll keep it short. The Uchiha clan may now consist only of my son, Sasuke Uchiha.]
Uchiha Fugaku truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran of the ninja world. He downplayed the severity of the matter and deliberately concealed the fact that his son was the one who had wiped out the clan. Even so, it still shocked Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna.
[Uchiha Madara: What did you say, kid? The Uchiha clan is now left with only your trash son?]
[Uchiha Izuna: You're kidding me, right?]
[Uchiha Fugaku: It's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the streamer.]
Ren Arakawa: "What he said is indeed true, but there's one thing that needs correcting: Uchiha Itachi, the one who wiped out the Uchiha clan, should still be alive."
[Uchiha Fugaku: ???]
[Uchiha Mikoto: ...]
[Uchiha Madara: Uchiha Itachi? He wiped out the Uchiha clan? What is this all about?]
[Uchiha Izuna: Don't tell me the Uchiha clan was wiped out by their own people!]
Ren Arakawa: "I have to say, when it comes to analyzing situations, Izuna, you're smarter than your older brother!"
Uchiha Izuna: ...
[Uchiha Madara: So, the Uchiha clan was really wiped out by their own people?]
Ren Arakawa: "That's right!"
[Uchiha Madara: Damn it~ That bastard Uchiha Itachi is too ruthless. I hated my useless clansmen back then, but I never went this far.]
[Uchiha Izuna: They didn't even spare their own clansmen? They went so far as to commit genocide? This... this is simply the act of a son of a bitch!]
[Uchiha Mikoto: ...]
[Uchiha Tajima: Sigh~ It seems the Uchiha clan has ultimately come to this?]
[Uchiha Madara: Father!?]
[Uchiha Izuna: Father! What are you doing here?]
