The Uchiha Struck First

Next up: My Boyfriend Is Indra, and I Faked My Death to Return to Yokohama (Check it out in my collection)

Synopsis: The life of the Uchiha clan's founding mother, a wish-granting powerhouse from China, who spent her days actively exhausting everyone around her

[Blurb]

Rather than stay put and waste away in a stalemate with my archrival, I might as well seek out a new opportunity and find my clan a broad road to prosperity.

With that thought in mind, Tajima, clan head of the Uchiha, accepted a sky-high commission and brought his whole family to the Land of Water, where they helped a newly appointed daimyo who had wiped out his own family commit further atrocities!

The new daimyo was great in every way. He gave them money when they needed money and strength when they needed strength. The only problem was that he loved dragging their young clan head, Madara, off to all sorts of wild outings that kept him away all night. He also had no sense of occasion, grabbing his retainers by the hand and asking if they wanted to sleep with him.

Qixu: Sharing a bed is a great way to improve relations between lord and retainer, okay? Besides, if anyone's sleeping, I'll make you all sleep on the floor!

Izuna: Doesn't Big Brother Madara always sleep in bed with you?

Madara: Yeah. The two of us lie in bed and watch Father fight with other people over who gets to sleep on the floor.

Tajima: ...I suppose this is what they call a harmonious relationship between lord and retainers.

Everyone else: It is for us. For Tajima, it's pretty awkward.

Tajima: I never expected that, after moving thousands of miles to get my eldest son away from the Senju family's troublemaking friends, he'd find another inseparable dog buddy.

Tajima: And somehow the dog buddy even turned out to be someone from inside the clan.

Qixu, a former Master who spent ten years as a child laborer and retired in glory after earning the achievement of blowing up the Time Government. He currently serves as daimyo of the Land of Water.

To enjoy a better life, he brought along the contract he made with Indra and sought the Uchiha's protection.

Firmly convinced that as long as he had enough military protection, nobody could make him unemployed!

So the first thing he did to fulfill the contract was slap it onto Madara's head, gloating as he did so.

Qixu: Look closely. Your ancestor sold you, the reincarnation of his chakra! Sold you!

Madara: Anger meter rising.gif

The first step to improving relations: start by trading insults and beating each other up.

PS:

1. Madara is the top, and this is a Madara pairing.

2. The Senju aren't vilified, and the two clans do not found a village.

3. A tough, determined battlefield rose top X a retired Master who flirts recklessly as soon as he's had his fill, bottom.

4. A standalone bonus chapter after the main story ends features a crossover with An Chigong, the male lead of the marriage-into-the-family story paired with Izuna from the neighboring book.
