Warm night

As the temperature dropped at night, the door that was originally opened a crack was quietly closed.

There were torches in the room, and a fire was burning on a square stone table. The dancing flames brightened the room and made it a little warmer.

During the Warring States period, technology was not advanced enough, so there were no convenient electric heaters like in the future. The burning wood produced a cloud of smoke that made my eyes dry.

He closed his eyes and closed the scroll that was filled with writing. As he unfolded another scroll, he heard footsteps in the yard.

Izuna had already been coaxed to sleep by him, and the person coming in from the yard now was probably his brother.

Just as the work at hand came to an end, Uchiha Tobi took the initiative to go out to greet him. The person in the yard bent down and put down the things in his hands. Before turning around, he said skillfully: "I'm back."

The white-haired boy said "hmm" and turned to get the dinner. He added water to the small pot on the fire and boiled hot soup.

Uchiha Madara straightened his clothes a little, raised his arms and smelled them, making sure there was no unpleasant smell before walking in.

In the past, when I came back from outside, I was inevitably covered with a bad smell. After all, there are always times when you can't take care of yourself on the battlefield, and every time this happens, you will be urged to take a shower.

Seeing the slightly disgusted expression on his brother's face, Ban became more and more attentive over time.

"What are you cooking? It smells so good."

"soup."

The boiling soup went down his throat, Ban took a sip, raised his eyebrows and said, "Not too sweet."

The two of them sat cross-legged around the fire. Hearing this, Fei didn't even raise his eyelids and pointed casually: "Pour it yourself."

After finishing his meal and packing up, Uchiha Madara looked at what his brother was doing: "What is this? I have never seen this technique before."

"It's still in the testing stage." Fei clasped his hands together, looking lost in thought.

He was thinking about how to correct it in his mind, and he was also considering trial and error. Inventing a new ninjutsu is not easy, but for Tobi, it is a challenge that he is addicted to.

But before long, a furry head came over.

Madara looked down at what was written on the scroll. It was a completely unfamiliar pattern. His brother always had a lot of strange ideas in his mind.

But because of the head-down movement, the long black hair that was not tied up moved freely, like a black frizzy sea urchin, sticking to the side of the face and sweeping over the neck.

Kai shrank his neck and raised his hand to hold back his unruly hair. He looked nothing like Madara or Izuna. They both had a pair of slightly round, dark eyes, but his red eyes were narrow.

So in order to have more similarities, Izuna coaxed him into growing his hair long. However, fluffy hair always brings a lot of trouble.

By the time Ban realized he was causing trouble, he had already been forced to sit down. The person behind him carefully combed his hair and then tied it tightly with a strip of cloth.

Madara was more accustomed to letting his hair down, but seeing his brother insist, he temporarily obeyed.

The door creaked open and Izuna yawned as she walked in: "Brother Madara, Second Brother."

"Did I wake you up?" Looking at his other younger brother, Uchiha Madara's expression became softer.

Izuna shook her head and sat down as well: "I haven't slept yet."

Seeing Tobi fiddling with her black hair, Izuna also started to braid it with great interest. Uchiha Madara was helpless but acquiesced.

The three brothers sat cross-legged around the fire and poured boiling hot tea into their cups.

"I plan to continue taking over that mission." Fei picked up the cup and said calmly, "The reward for the commission is quite high, and it can help everyone relax a little in the winter."

Uchiha Madara did not answer immediately. He just remembered that his younger brother was specially arranged to do a dangerous mission when he was busy, so he was a little angry.

"I know that the Senju clan is also competing with me, so I will be careful."

Before the two refused, Fei added one more sentence. But this made them even more resistant: "No."

Almost at the same time, they refused. Izuna frowned and said, "No, those bad guys from Senju took the opportunity to attack us after my father's death. At this critical moment, they might be feeling proud of themselves."

"That's why we should try." Tobi raised his eyebrows and explained slowly, "I saw Senju Hashirama. He is the person in charge of this mission."

Uchiha Madara's expression suddenly became serious: "That's even worse. Even if there is no such mission, we have other ways."

A lot of supplies are needed in winter, otherwise more people will be left in the cold winter. Fei thought a lot, and finally he was still quite concerned about the treasure mentioned in the commission - the treasure that can bring the dead back to life.

In this world, there are chakra and ninjas, so it is normal to have something that can change one's destiny.

It's not that he is greedy and afraid of death, but his people really need these supplies, and he needs to do something within his ability.

Moreover, he had investigated and found that other treasures should have appeared in ruins or been kept by the family, but this time the treasure seemed to have suddenly appeared.

Moreover, the treasure appeared at about the same time as he remembered everything. He could not detect it intermittently during that period, so he always felt that it was related to 005.

"Senju Hashirama doesn't know me, and I'm not here in the name of Uchiha."

"If a conflict breaks out, Uchiha or not will be targeted."

"Well... I'll be careful, and I'm sure."

"But……"

"No buts. If there is any danger, I will give up immediately."

In just a few words, Tobi convinced the two. Izuna realized the trap in his words, but by the time she reacted, she had already been lured in. Madara was completely unprepared for his two younger brothers, and turned around to look at them with a look of incomprehension.

Outside, the eldest son Uchiha Madara may have more say, but at home, facing Madara who trusts his younger brother very much and Izuna who is very obedient and listens to his brother, Tobi has a certain say.

So he is relatively free, and there is almost no obstruction to what he wants to do. Madara is confident that his own strength can cover the bottom line, while Izuna is purely because of trust in his two brothers.

After a short silence, Izuna snorted softly, and then came over without hesitation. Kai was hugged by the waist, and he leaned in the opposite direction with a little discomfort.

Izuna buried her face in the shoulder of the person next to her, and pointed at Madara with her hand. As the eldest brother, Madara was taught by his father to be strict since he was a child, even to his younger brother.

But he still couldn't harden his heart. He said no, but in fact he was always soft-hearted.

Seeing Izuna's invitation, he pursed his lips and looked like he had no choice but to do it. He stretched out his big hands and hugged his two younger brothers tightly.

Being squeezed in the middle, Mei held her breath, looked at the two people hanging on her, and helplessly reminded: "Hair, hair is being pressed."

When leaving the house the next day, Tobi prepared all the necessary things for the trip. But soon after he walked out of the door, he saw three Uchiha with ugly faces.

Madara got up very early, he needed to be responsible for all matters within the clan. Originally, Tobi was supposed to take over the position of deputy, but because of this mission, the position of second in command was temporarily given to Izuna.

However, Izuna, who is stronger, does have more say.

"Lord Tobi." A relatively kind person stepped forward and said, "Lord Madara asked us to follow your orders."

The powerful Senju Hashirama brought his clansmen with him, so the prerequisite for Madara to agree was that someone must follow.

The three people traveling together at least have three magatama Sharingan. Since they are quite powerful, they naturally would not be willing to obey the orders of a young boy.

But this was the order of the patriarch, and the reward for this commission was very generous, so they had to obey, so they looked unhappy.

Fei didn't care what others thought, if they wanted to follow him, they could follow him. The group simply disguised themselves and started on their way.

"Fei, can I call you that?" During the break, a person who approached took the initiative to speak.

He has short black curly hair, big eyes, and long eyelashes that flutter up and down when he blinks.

Tobi remembered this person, Uchiha Yuji. He was easygoing and gentle, and they had worked together on a mission before. He was even a few years older than Madara, but he didn't act like a senior.

So he nodded as a response: "Senior Yuji."

"Hahaha, just call me Yuzhi." Uchiha Yuzhi blinked and sat down next to him. "The little device you invented is very interesting. How did you come up with it? It's amazing."

Uchiha Tobi thought for a moment before he remembered what it was. It was a wooden bird that imitated a mechanical bird. After it was properly equipped, it could fly for a short time.

Although it is impossible to transport supplies on the battlefield, if high towers are built on both sides of the tribe's territory, the mechanical birds can be used to deliver messages quickly and promptly.

Fei touched his nose and passed it off vaguely. He invented this just to make the children happy, and there was no other purpose.

Uchiha Yuji smiled and took the initiative to share the dry food he brought.

After two or three days of getting along, Tobi found that Uchiha Yuji was a very easy-going person. Among the three people traveling together this time, Yuji was the captain and had the most say.

But he took the initiative to show that he was obeying orders, even though the person who gave the order was just a teenager. So although the other two were unhappy, they didn't say it directly.

"Maybe it's because I don't have any brothers, so I envy those who have brothers." Uchiha Yuji explained with a smile, "Because every time Madara mentions you and Izuna, he's in a good mood."

The young man in front of him showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then asked with his forehead in his hand: "Brother? He... often mentioned us?"

Uchiha Yuji smiled but said nothing. He was very kind and did not expose the disguise of a brother-con.

The long white hair was tied into a high ponytail, and because of its fluffy nature, it was deliberately divided into several strands and then tied at the end. The group disguised themselves and prepared to enter the city before nightfall.

After traveling day and night, they arrived at the city on the third day, and their client had already sent people to wait for them at the city gate.
