The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 256 Murals
"It should be around here..."

Just when Hanzo and Terumi Kaoru were about to go to the capital of Sichuan, in the eastern part of the Fire Country, in a secluded forest.

Madara looked at the location recorded in the scroll in his hand, and muttered to himself.

In the past few days after leaving the family, Madara has searched for many shrines left by the family.

But to his disappointment, the murals in these shrines did record some past events of the Uchiha clan.

But most of them are nothing more than the boast of the shrine owner to himself, or some power struggles that have occurred within the Uchiha clan.

It's fine as an interesting little story, but it's far from being a big secret worth mentioning.

But although in daily chores, Madara has always been impatient.

But when it comes to the things he cares about, Madara has extraordinary patience.

For example, in the original time and space, for his own Moon Eye plan, he spent almost half his life laying the groundwork.

In addition, in the Fourth Ninja World War, Madara, who was in a dirty state, was in order to fight against the dirty soil head-on, and also to wait for the opportunity for Rokudo Obito to fall into weakness under the siege of the allied forces.

Madara would rather sit on the sidelines and watch the battle.

Therefore, although in the previous shrines, no useful information was obtained.

Kema still continued to move towards other shrines patiently.

"This... should be a shrine left by an ancestor about 900 years ago."

This is the oldest shrine that Madara has visited so far, and therefore, Madara is full of expectations for this shrine.

For more than 900 years, the shrine built of wood and stone has long since decayed and disappeared.

Therefore, in front of Madara's eyes was a piece of greenery.

However, adding a basement to the shrine seems to have become the habit of the ancestors of the Uchiha clan.

The black eyes in Madara's eye sockets gradually turned scarlet, and using the powerful insight of the kaleidoscope Sharingan, Madara carefully searched the surrounding places where there might be a basement.

One step...two steps...three steps...

"It should be here."

Madara half knelt on the ground, stroking the ground in front of her with her right hand.

Then, a touch of blue chakra covered Madara's right arm.

"Rumble..."

A dull voice sounded.

Accompanied by the overturning of the soil, the weeds were scattered, and after a while, a square piece of black-gray metal reappeared from the deep soil under the traction of Mottled Chakra, revealing the entrance to the basement it had covered.

"Oh!"

Madara dropped the metal on the ground next to him, and then looked towards the dark basement. He didn't go in immediately, but stood there quietly and waited for about 10 minutes.

This is also the experience that Madara has gained from the previous shrine.

The basement has been kept dusty underground for hundreds of years.

The ancestors of the Uchiha clan used special materials to build the basement. After hundreds of years, the basement has not collapsed, but because it has not been ventilated for a long time, there will always be some strange and even poisonous gases.

Like the basement at the beginning, when Madara stepped into it, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he might have confessed that it was there.

So after the shrine, Madara learned to be good.

After waiting boredly for a while, Madara thought to herself that it was almost done, and then walked towards the entrance of the basement.

Follow the stairs into the dark basement.

Although the surrounding area was dark, Madara still had a clear view of everything in the basement with his Sharingan eyesight.

The basement was empty.

Only in one corner of a wall, there were some remains that resembled decayed wood.

Madara shook her head regretfully.

Among these wreckages, there may be some records and scrolls left by the owner of the shrine.

Unlike the scrolls included in the Uchiha clan's resident, they have always been well maintained.

The scrolls here have been left unattended for a long time, and have disappeared.

Madara could only turn his gaze to the three surrounding walls.

Fortunately, in the basement of this shrine, there are some murals painted on one of the walls, so Ban Bai did not make a trip.

Although the murals did not decay like those wreckages, they have faded a lot and become very dim with the passing of time.

Even the kaleidoscope Sharingan is difficult to see clearly in the dark environment.

Madara then followed the steps to the ground, cut off some branches, lit them with a fire escape, and then returned to the basement.

Under the beating firelight, the murals on the wall finally showed its true face of Mount Lu.

The beginning of the mural is a somewhat strange Sharingan.

The reason why Madara confirmed that it is a sharing eye is because of the hook jade distributed around the eyeball.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Madara is very familiar with the Gouyu in Sharingan, so even though the mural has been dimmed, he can still confirm that it is indeed the Gouyu in Sharingan.

As for the strangeness, it is because... In this eyeball, with the pupil as the center, there are nine hook jades scattered around it.

This made it a little bit confusing.

He really had never heard of Sharingan with Nine Gouyu.

"Could it be the kaleidoscope pattern unique to the owner of this shrine?"

Madara frowned secretly.

To be honest, he felt that the possibility was very small, and Madara instinctively felt that Jiugouyu's Sharingan might be related to a big secret.

He squinted his eyes and observed carefully.

Suddenly, he found that among the nine hook jades divided into inner circle, middle circle and outer circle, there seemed to be a thread connecting them in each group of hook jade.

It is said to be lines, but in fact, in this bleak mural, it is just that the color of the lines on the wall is slightly darker.

If it weren't for the eyesight of the kaleidoscope Sharingan, Madara might not be able to notice it.

"Is this... the ring pattern of the eyes of reincarnation?"

Banana muttered.

"The Gouyu that writes about the eyes of reincarnation, and... the ring pattern of the eyes of reincarnation?"

Madara seems to have thought of something, but also faintly feels that there is something missing that can connect them together.

After thinking for a while, Madara shifted his gaze down again.

Below the eyeball mural is a simple big tree.

The tree is divided into nine branches, and each of the nine branches is connected with nine strange animal-shaped patterns.

The pattern was already blurred, but Madara could barely recognize these beasts after careful identification.

"raccoon dogs, cats, turtles, apes..."

Looking at it, Madara also realized what the nine beasts were.

It is the Nine Tailed Beasts.

Although Madara didn't pay much attention to the information about the tailed beast, he still knew some basic information about the shape of the tailed beast.

"Samsara Eyes and Sharingan, Tailed Beasts... and trees?"

This information is very fragmented, but it is clear to Madara that this is definitely a shocking secret that cannot be compared with the trivial things recorded in the shrines before.

"If that strange creature has plans against the Uchiha clan, then it should be in this area..."

Madara's gaze immediately locked on the nine hook jade carved on the eyeball...
