The clash between the two shadow-level powerhouses came quickly and ended just as swiftly. After about fifteen minutes, when the tremors subsided, Xuan turned and headed back to the clan with Senna and the others.
The little maid was naturally very happy that Xuan had returned so soon. Xuan didn't say much and after washing off the dust, he took a nice long nap until noon the next day.
After waking up, he casually ate some of the food prepared by Chiya, then rushed out with a clear goal in mind—Uchiha Madara's residence.
He had made up his mind to cause a scene. For a wooden door typical of the Warring States period, he kicked it open with one powerful strike. The thin layer of cedar wood shattered instantly, fulfilling its purpose.
"Uchiha Madara, get your ass out here!"
Xuan entered, looking menacing, and began searching the place. Madara's room was similar to his, not very large. After all, they were still children and didn't have their own luxurious houses.
The living room was small, the bedroom door was open, the kitchen was clearly visible, and the bathroom door was locked. Xuan spent five seconds looking for Madara, but unfortunately, he wasn't there.
There was, however, a young boy kneeling in the living room, trying to act like an adult while drinking tea. But this wasn't Uchiha Madara.
"Senna, where is your brother?"
Xuan immediately sat down cross-legged in front of Senna, his gaze full of threat.
Senna awkwardly chuckled. "I don't know, I haven't seen him."
"Then how are you here in his room?"
"…He asked me to keep an eye on the house, in case you destroyed it in your rage."
"…."
"When's he coming back?"
"I don't know."
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know."
"Didn't he get killed by that Hyuga clan strongman yesterday?"
"You're the one who's gonna be killed! My brother's fine, he didn't die!"
"You little brat, you're asking for it!" Xuan raised an eyebrow, ready to go teach the kid a lesson, but then thought better of it and decided it wasn't worth arguing with a child. "I'll wait here. I don't believe he won't come back today. Even if he doesn't come back today, he'll come back tomorrow. I don't believe he can hide forever."
Senna nodded seriously. "My brother said that if you want to stay, he'll let you have the place and go find somewhere else to stay."
"…."
Xuan wasn't the type to give up easily, so he didn't let Senna's words send him away. Closing his eyes, he sat quietly, clearly planning to wait.
Senna secretly stuck out his tongue and thought, "Big Brother, I can't help you any more than this."
Xuan closed his eyes and kept reflecting on everything that had happened. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Originally, investigating the matter was no problem, and encountering the ambush was understandable. However, the system had issued such a frustrating mission, causing him to fall straight into the enemy's trap. Then, he discovered that the family had already known about it all along, and he had been used as bait to lure the enemy in.
He kept analyzing the situation over and over again, realizing that the reason he had lost was because of his mistake with the Third Elder, and he had underestimated the entire Uchiha clan.
If Uchiha was truly as weak as he initially thought, then how could they have stood at the top of the Warring States period? For example, they managed to hold their ground on two fronts in the battlefield, resisting the pressure from the Senju and Hyuga clans for two years. If it weren't for the Third Elder's mistake, they might have been able to hold out even longer.
With this kind of strength, no other clan in the Warring States could do the same.
His uncle wasn't useless either, despite his occasional slow reaction to conspiracies. His combat strength was immense, and he held great respect within the clan. He was able to unite the clan and build an impregnable defense. Over the years, apart from the occasional struggle with the Senju clan, Uchiha had been victorious in almost every other battle.
"Sigh, Confucius was right. 'Examine yourself three times a day.' Arrogance and pride are unacceptable." Xuan reflected internally. Given his cautious nature in the past, he should have picked up on the clues and deduced the situation.
But ever since defeating that Elite Jonin and learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had grown overconfident, thinking no one in the Warring States could touch him. This led to his careless attitude and the current predicament.
If the clan had truly been unaware of this situation, stepping into the enemy's trap could have been disastrous. If an Elite Jonin had been ambushing him in that room, he might have only escaped after suffering heavy injuries, let alone counter-attacking the enemy.
"From now on, I can't afford to be careless, especially before reaching the strength of Hashirama and Madara. This is the Warring States period. So many people have died from behind-the-scenes schemes. I can't afford to be one of them."
As Xuan was deep in thought, a loud scream suddenly echoed from the doorway. "What the hell? My door!"
Xuan opened his eyes, his gaze immediately sharpening as he looked toward the door. He stood up and sneered. "Oh? You dare come back? I thought you were gonna hide forever."
Senna's face instantly turned bitter. "How come my brother is back now? This isn't what we planned!"
Uchiha Madara stormed in, his face full of anger. "What's wrong with my house? Why wouldn't I come back? You, on the other hand, come in here and destroy my door. Are you looking for a fight?"
Madara's anger was mostly fake, as he was in the wrong. He had initially planned to stay hidden for a few days, but his father had insisted that he personally deliver the message, so he had no choice but to return.
Originally, Madara had planned to immediately surround the Hyuga clan when they arrived, but after recalling how Xuan had tricked him last time, he delayed his actions. He remembered that Xuan had a technique where he turned into a crow, and figured it wouldn't be a huge problem. At least he wouldn't be killed instantly.
However, he hadn't expected Xuan to scatter kunai all over the place and use a technique he'd never even heard of, escaping from three Elite Jonin and even killing five Chunin in the process. This left Madara stunned, and when Xuan used the Flying Thunder God to escape, Madara finally surrounded the Hyuga clan.
Madara had originally brought five Elite Jonin with him, and when the Hyuga Fumiko had sent out Hyuga Kazama, he had quietly sent Uchiha Keimei to follow. He had done this just in case Xuan ran into trouble. Of course, he had also given orders that if Xuan could handle the Elite Jonin by himself, no help would be necessary.
But no matter how wrong Madara felt, he would never admit fault. He wasn't the type of person to lower his head.
"You still dare to be arrogant!" Xuan sneered in anger. This was the first time he had seen someone act so brazen after they had been tricked.
Madara flicked his hair arrogantly and snorted.
Xuan gritted his teeth and suddenly rushed forward, throwing a punch that sent Madara crashing to the ground. He shouted, "I'm here to fight!"
Madara was stunned for a moment, feeling the intense pain in his face. Did I just get hit? Did I just get hit by this guy?
With a fierce glare, Madara got up and retaliated with a punch.
The two immediately engaged in a brawl, throwing punches and kicks without using any ninjutsu or chakra. They fought like ordinary street thugs, not like ninjas.
Senna stood there dumbfounded, then quietly slipped past the two, running away as fast as he could.
