Chapter 158 New Year’s Gift

Just as they were about to eliminate all the puppets, a dark figure flashed by in the distance. It was incredibly fast, arriving in the blink of an eye. It was a figure clad in a black robe, its face indistinct. With a wave of his hands, the surrounding trees instantly transformed into spikes. Tobirama's eyes froze, and he formed hand seals to build a wall of earth to block the attack. As the two sides confronted each other, the black-robed figure chuckled, "Konoha, you can't escape!" Then, vanishing in a puff of smoke, Izuna and the others were left with frowns on their faces, knowing a greater crisis was imminent.

Izuna clenched his fists and said, "This mysterious man is very powerful. We must return to the village to report as soon as possible." Everyone nodded and immediately rushed to Konoha Village.

After returning to the village, Tobirama informed his brother Hashirama of the incident. Hashirama looked grave and ordered to increase the defense force around the village and sent people to gather intelligence everywhere.

A few days later, spies reported discovering a suspicious cave, emitting a strange aura. Tobirama decided to investigate. Upon entering, he discovered it was covered in strange runes. As he was examining the cave, a sneer echoed from behind him. Turning, he saw the man in black robes from before.

The black-robed man slowly took off his mask, revealing a familiar face. It turned out to be a ninja who had once betrayed Konoha. He resented Konoha for abandoning him, so he colluded with foreign enemies to gain powerful strength and come for revenge.

Tobirama calmly said, "You will only bring more disasters." However, the man, blinded by hatred, attacked. Tobirama engaged in a fierce battle, using his newly developed ninjutsu to temporarily suppress the man while waiting for reinforcements to arrive and finally subdue him.

Tobirama subdued the traitor and brought him back to Konoha Village. Hashirama, seeing his former companion now twisted by hatred, felt a pity. He decided to call a village meeting, both to announce the end of the crisis and to show the villagers the consequences of betraying the village.

At the meeting, the traitor was tied to the stage, his face full of resentment. Hashirama stood on a high place and said loudly: "Konoha is everyone's home. We built it together and protected it. But anyone who attempts to destroy it will not be forgiven." The villagers shouted in agreement. Afterwards, Hashirama planned to imprison the traitor, hoping to slowly influence him and let him regain his former beliefs. Tobirama realized that there were still loopholes in Konoha's ninja training system and was determined to improve it to prevent ninjas from defecting because of dissatisfaction. Izuna also took the initiative to request to participate in the village's defense construction. He knew that the external threat had not been completely eliminated. In this way, after experiencing this turmoil, Konoha Village became more united and actively invested in development and construction to cope with challenges that may occur at any time in the future.

"I want to sleep so much." Lingyue yawned and leaned on Ban. Because people had to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year, Lingyue was staying up all night.

"You can go to sleep. Not staying up to celebrate the New Year doesn't mean you are unfilial." Ban patted Lingyue's head with heartache.

"No, Dad, what kind of person is Grandpa?" After all, many years had passed, and Madara was not very sure whether Lingyue could exist at that time. He gave the Fire Release Ninjutsu to himself for safekeeping, which was considered a gamble for himself.

"He looks serious, but he loves us very much. He's what we now call a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside."

"I don't know if Grandpa will like me?"

"Yes. If he knew he had a granddaughter as cute and well-behaved as you, he might spoil you even more than I do." Ban touched Lingyue's head lovingly.

"It would be nice if I could see Grandpa."

"What are you talking about? I didn't even know I had a child back then, let alone your grandfather."

"that's true."

Lingyue and Banmei only knew that the first day of the new year would hold a big surprise for them. Lingyue had slept in late because of the New Year's Eve celebration. Because of the loud noises outside, Lingyue drowsily woke up and slumbered to wash up, not paying much attention to what was happening outside. After all, Konoha and the Uchiha clan weren't something anyone could bully these days, so it was probably nothing serious. Lingyue arrived at the restaurant, but it was empty, as everyone was supposed to be having breakfast. Lingyue drowsily went outside to take a look.

"Madara, why do you have two of you?" It was a voice Lingyue was not familiar with. Seeing Madara and Hashirama gathered together, she didn't know who the person in the center was.

"Who is PAPA?" Lingyue, who had just woken up, spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Good boy, you're up." Madara responded quickly, but his expression didn't seem very good.

"PAPA, you don't look well. Happy New Year!" Lingyue did not forget to send New Year greetings, "Did something happen?" Lingyue looked at the people who were gathered around, because they were all gathered around, Lingyue could not see what was happening inside.

"That's right, uh, your grandfather is here. It seems that God has responded to your New Year's wish." Madara was still a little embarrassed. After all, he hadn't met his elders for many years and didn't know how to talk to them.

"Grandpa?" Lingyue was shocked. "No way? I was just saying it casually."

"Ban, who is she?" A middle-aged man's voice sounded full of energy.

Lingyue walked over with a look of curiosity, "Grandpa?" Lingyue called out politely. Because Ban and the others had told him the general situation before, the middle-aged man was not too surprised. He looked at Lingyue with a loving face and waved to her. Lingyue subconsciously glanced at Ban, who nodded approvingly.

"Come here, come here, let grandpa take a good look at you." Tiandao looked at Lingyue and liked her very much. "Why didn't you tell me you had such a lovely granddaughter?" The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

"I'm just afraid that you won't like Guaiguai because of Hashirama." Madara looked at Tajima with a wronged look on his face. When they first met, he chased the four of them and beat them up, saying with confidence, why did the two brothers choose to marry the wives of the rival families?

"Oh, this girl is so precious and so rare. Your mother wanted to have a girl, but she got hurt when she gave birth to Izuna, and she never got pregnant again. If she knew she had such a well-behaved granddaughter, she would be so happy." Tajima's wrinkles from laughing could kill mosquitoes.

"Brother, this old saying is true. Grandparents are closer than grandparents. Now, the son is nothing in the eyes of his father." Izuna whispered in Madara's ear.

"Okay, your father will beat you to death if he hears it." Madara signaled Izuna to shut up quickly.

"Father doesn't have time for us right now. Look how much he's smiling." Izumi added. "He doesn't seem to like my Kagami and Shisui that much, and Shisui is his great-grandson."

"Girls are very popular among the Uchiha and Senju people, so don't be jealous. If Shisui was a girl, you will see how unhappy her father would be." Madara smiled helplessly.

"That's right. Look, even the good girl is embarrassed."
