Chapter 93 The Founding of Konoha
Wuming stared warily at Ningxia. The failure of the Eight Thousand Spears terrified her. Before this, her ability had always been invincible.
Now, however, she is unable to control the man in front of her, and the inherently evil Uchiha beside him.
Looking at the candy in Ningxia's hand, Wuming became even more wary, but after hesitating for a long time, she felt a wave of exhaustion.
Having been sealed for so long, her physical strength and energy had long been exhausted. The two consecutive 8,000 spear strikes had left her so tired that she couldn't even move.
"Here, have a piece of candy, it'll make you feel better."
Seeing that the girl was unable to support herself, Ningxia suddenly knelt down on the ground, raised a hand to her, and handed her the candy.
"..."
Wuming stared fiercely at Ningxia. Her hatred for the Uchiha made her unable to accept the other party's kindness, but the exhaustion and hunger in her body tormented her at all times.
Half-heartedly, Wuming had no choice but to put the candy in his mouth. The familiar yet unfamiliar sweetness made his eyes light up, but he quickly returned to his indifference.
"Ningxia, is it really necessary to treat her so well?"
Mumei looked a few years younger than Izuna, making it difficult for Madara to accept this so-called great-grandmother.
"I can't project my adult desires onto children."
Ningxia's calm reply spoke volumes; he disliked the Uchiha's idea of using Mumei as a weapon.
"..."
Ban remained noncommittal. She also abhorred sending children to the battlefield. The two had already discussed it before coming, and unless Wuming himself was willing, they would just consider it as bringing a child home.
"Hmm? The Senju have noticed something." Madara's eyes turned into three tomoe. This place is within the Senju's territory, which should be very dangerous.
Otherwise, Shimada wouldn't have let Madara bring people, because she is the most powerful fighter in the family.
However, Madara had already informed Hashirama before coming, so the Senju should have turned a blind eye.
Soon, a young man appeared and greeted Ningxia happily, "Brother Ningxia!"
"Itako."
Ningxia stood up to greet him. After learning that it was Ningxia who had saved him, Itama treated Ningxia with great respect.
Later, he joined a small group of people, but mainly did some errand-running.
"My eldest sister told me that, just in case, I'm here to keep watch for you. I've already sent the surrounding tribesmen away under some pretext."
Banjian chuckled, and Ningxia thanked Banjian with a light laugh before preparing to carry Wuming back.
Seeing this, Madara offered to carry her on his back, but Mumei immediately protested, saying that Madara's armor was uncomfortable.
"..."
In the end, Wuming still clung to Ningxia. Itama glanced at Madara, who was emanating an ominous aura, and immediately made an excuse to leave. He still had to go back to learn Wood Release from his older sister.
Currently, among the three great masters of the Senju clan, Hashirama is invincible with his Wood Release, Tobirama is proficient in both Water Release and forbidden techniques, and Itama is known as the "Little Hashirama".
It was precisely because the three of them were too strong that Shimada was forced to let Madara release Mumei. Two against two was already not a good match, and now there was the additional factor of Itama.
However, neither Shimada nor Butsuma could have imagined that Hashirama and Madara, who usually seemed to be fighting to the death, were actually the best of friends in private.
And all of this... is because of Ningxia.
"Hurry up and go!"
Madara looked at Wuming with displeasure, his gaze growing increasingly cold, which puzzled Wuming. However, she also disliked the Uchiha who used her.
Lying on Ningxia's back, Wuming grew increasingly exhausted and fell asleep without realizing it.
Ningxia noticed Wuming's unusual behavior and used the Sheep Talisman to separate a portion of his soul, directly entering Wuming's dream.
Through the dream, Ningxia fully understands Wuming's past experiences, and her expression gradually becomes serious.
"War..."
"Ningxia?"
Ban looked at Ningxia with a puzzled expression. She rarely saw Ningxia with such an expression; it only appeared when a major accident occurred.
"Ban, I won't let her go to the battlefield."
Ningxia's tone grew increasingly serious. The nameless, or rather, the past of light, even in the Warring States period when the average lifespan was no more than thirty years, could still reach new heights of misery.
Her parents, who loved her most in the first half of her life, died, she was used as a biological weapon, and even her name was taken away.
He spent the rest of his life sealed away by the Thousand Hands, living in endless darkness and loneliness, hating his clansmen who used him as a weapon.
"Hmm... um."
After the two returned to their clan's territory, Ningxia immediately used the excuse that Wuming had been sealed away for too long and was not suitable to go to the battlefield immediately.
With Ban Da providing cover, Shimada didn't suspect much, only urging Ningxia to restore Wuming's combat ability as soon as possible.
"Father……"
Madara looked at Shimada in front of her and, thinking about what Ningxia had just told about Hikari's experiences, she put herself in Izuna's shoes and could completely understand Ningxia's feelings.
Therefore, she decided to do something unfilial.
"Ban, how many times have I told you? Here you have to call him clan leader!"
Shimada patiently corrected Madara, but Madara remained calm this time, stating that he wanted to challenge Shimada and seize the position of clan leader.
Hearing his daughter say this, Shimada was stunned for a moment. Instead of being angry, he accepted it with a smile. He was already powerless, so wouldn't it be wonderful for Madara to take over as clan leader?
But his smile soon faded, because a few days later, the Senju clan also changed its leader, and the two clan leaders reached a peace treaty.
They stopped fighting!
Shimada and Butsuma were both furious. How dare Madara and Hashirama make such a decision that went against their ancestors?!
But by the time they realized what was happening, Madara and Hashirama had already suppressed the clan. Or rather, Madara had Ningxia, and Hashirama had Tobirama; both had people assisting them.
The two had previously discussed how to stage a coup, and this was a practical operation.
With the two most powerful families in the Land of Fire reaching a truce, the other families, large and small, also followed suit and fell silent.
Half a month later, Madara and Hashirama, representing their respective clans, announced the founding of Konoha.
"Well……"
With her mouth full of small cakes, Hikaru looked at Ningxia beside her. Initially, she was indeed very opposed to the Uchiha clan, but after learning that Ningxia was not one of them, she softened her stance a little.
With the establishment of Konoha, Ningxia, as the chief engineer of Konoha, simply brought her to live here with him.
That way, instead of just staying in the Uchiha clan's territory and using Amaterasu on anyone he doesn't like, he can just use the Ichimonji.
"Hikaru, you're not allowed to sneak any food today."
Ningxia looked at Guang, who resembled a little hamster, and gently tapped her forehead.
"Um……"
Guang struggled to swallow the small cake, then barefoot, he approached Ningxia, wanting to see the engineering drawings he had made.
Outside, there was the noise of the Senju and Uchiha clans arguing.
"You idiot Senju! Do you even know anything about civil engineering?! Look at the foundation you guys laid!"
"Uchiha, you worthless trash! Look at the bricks you've made! They're substandard! Get the hell out of here and redo them!"
Just listening to the sounds from both sides used to be a nightmare for her, because such sounds meant that someone was going to die.
But now, she doesn't hate him, because... the man in front of her has successfully ended the war.
