He quietly returned to the company with his suitcase first, drew the curtains, left a clone behind to create the illusion that he was still at home, while his original body secretly ran to the Oda residence.
Uchiha Izuna knocked on the door, but no one answered. After thinking for a moment, he jumped in through the window.
Then he found that no one had lived in this place for a long time.
After coming out of Oda Sakunosuke's house, he made a phone call to Oda Sakunosuke.
Hello, Oda? How have you been lately?
Our filming ended early. I was planning to find you for a drink, but when I went to your house, I found you weren't there. Are you not at home right now?
"Sorry, Izuna, I moved a few days ago. Since you were on a closed set filming abroad and I couldn't reach you by phone, I haven't been able to tell you." Oda Sakunosuke's gentle voice came through the phone.
Why the sudden move?
I changed jobs. My old place was too far from my workplace, so I moved to a rented house.
"Is that so? Then you now.." Uchiha Izuna's words trailed off as he stared at the person in front of him, falling silent.
"What's wrong?" Oda Sakunosuke asked curiously.
"I have something to do here, I'll call you back later," Uchiha Izuna said hurriedly before hanging up the phone.
Oda Sakunosuke was left alone, staring blankly at the phone after the call was abruptly cut off.
"What's wrong?" Dazai Osamu, who had just entered, couldn't help but ask as he saw Oda Sakunosuke staring at his phone with a strange expression. His house was right next to Oda Sakunosuke's, making it convenient for him to come over to Oda Sakunosuke's place to mooch some food and drinks.
"Izuna was halfway through a call just now when it suddenly cut off." Oda Sakunosuke frowned, considering whether he should call back in a little while to ask about it.
"He must have seen his brother," Dazai Osamu said knowingly. He had learned a bit about the two brothers from Oda Sakunosuke, combined with the information he had obtained from the Port Mafia, he easily reached this conclusion.
"Is that so? Then that's for the best." Oda Sakunosuke breathed a sigh of relief.
“Nii-san.” Uchiha Izuna looked at the person standing in front of him and murmured, mist beginning to gather in his eyes.
In the next second, large tears rolled down Uchiha Izuna's cheeks, leaving behind streaks, he had always been strong, never being a child who loved to cry since he was small; even when suffering the heaviest injuries, he would not cry. Even as he shed tears now, he did not wail loudly like others, but instead let the tears fall silently, which only made him seem even more heartbreaking to witness.
Uchiha Madara panicked the moment his younger brother began to shed tears.
“Izuna!” He rushed over in a panic to embrace his younger brother, even forgetting that he could use the Body Flicker Technique.
"Am I dreaming?" Uchiha Izuna asked, letting his brother hold him as he rested his face against the other's shoulder.
"No." Uchiha Madara patted his back soothingly and said softly, "Izuna, it's me, it's Nii-san who has returned." If one listened closely, one could even detect a hint of a choke in Uchiha Madara's voice.
The three biggest events in Yokohama recently all originated from the Port Mafia.
First was the change in leadership within the Port Mafia, as the former leader stepped down to become one of the five executives.
The second matter was that the Mimic organization, an external force that had been fighting a life-and-death struggle with the Port Mafia not long ago, merged into the Port Mafia, greatly enhancing its strength.
The third matter was that the Port Mafia's most troublesome and youngest executive, Dazai Osamu, had left the Port Mafia and had not even been hunted down by the Port Mafia (although Oda Sakunosuke was incredibly powerful, because he adhered to the principle of not killing, no one in the lower ranks of the Port Mafia ever spoke of him).
Among these, the change in the leadership of the Port Mafia was the most shocking. Mori-san had held the position of Port Mafia leader for several years, all parties recognized his strength, yet now he had been suddenly pulled down. The Port Mafia was restless internally, not to mention the various other organizations sending people to test the waters, but all were crushed by the newly appointed leader's thunderous methods. For a time, everyone on the surface fell silent, quietly watching the Port Mafia, waiting to see what this new leader intended to do.
Unexpectedly, the first thing this new leader of the Port Mafia did was neither to cause trouble for other organizations to assert his status, nor to offer concessions to the Government to demonstrate his harmlessness, but instead to demand cooperation from all parties to release a new movie!!
The director had received notice that the investor had been replaced, the new investor's only condition was that the film be completed successfully, meaning there was no need to be frugal. Because of this, the production could begin by burning through money, which is why Uchiha Izuna was able to finish filming early and return.
"What is going on?" Koizumi Yuri, who had come to the meeting after receiving news from her artist, looked at the circle of Port Mafia members surrounding her and felt completely dazed.
I need to reintroduce a few things." Uchiha Izuna smiled as she gazed at her manager. "My brother is the leader of the Port Mafia.
What did you say?!" Koizumi Yuri looked at Uchiha Izuna in shock. "The new investor is your brother? And your brother is the leader of the Port Mafia?!
Koizumi Yuri instantly imagined a rebellious youngest son of a Mafia family, who refused to stay home and join the family business, so he ran away from home to become an entertainer, only for his family to find him now and force him back to inherit the family legacy.
"It's not what you think." As soon as Uchiha Izuna saw Koizumi Yuri's expression, he knew her thoughts had gone astray.
Upon learning how his brother Uchiha Madara became the new leader of the Port Mafia, Uchiha Izuna's first thought was to go to the Port Mafia to help his brother. However, Uchiha Madara, who did not know the original reason why Uchiha Izuna had been acting in movies, felt that his younger brother might simply enjoy acting and did not want him to focus all his attention solely on him.
Uchiha Izuna's original goal had been to increase his own fame so that his brother could find him. Now, although his brother had already arrived before he became famous, as he continued acting, he found it quite interesting, so he followed his brother's wishes and continued to be an actor.
However, he wouldn't be able to act during this period. He had to go and sort out the situation within the Port Mafia, take over the Port Mafia's intelligence issues, handle the rear management for Uchiha Madara.
So Uchiha Izuna called Koizumi Yuri over to inform his agent of his situation, asking her to help clear his schedule for a period of time.
Upon hearing this news, Koizumi Yuri walked out in a daze, her steps feeling light and unsteady; clearly, the fact that the artist she managed had become the younger brother of the Port Mafia leader had given her a massive shock.
Next, with the support of his brother Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Izuna began to take over the intelligence management of the Port Mafia.
At first, the several executives who were suddenly transferred under Uchiha Izuna's command looked at him with an attitude of mockery, some even wanted to target him to see if they could use him to threaten Uchiha Madara. However, one can tell a professional by their very first move.
In no time, their expressions changed. Where on earth did these two brothers come from? Not only was the elder brother, Uchiha Madara, powerful enough to suppress Mori Ougai directly, but the younger brother was also formidable. Moreover, his methods of gathering intelligence were so proficient that even professional intelligence operatives like them felt inferior.
Uchiha Izuna: Heh, back when I was gathering intelligence and stirring up trouble in the Ninja World, you lot didn't even know where you were.
Only at this moment did they realize that the movie the new leader was so heavily promoting was actually starring his brother, Uchiha Izuna.
This explains why the new leader, Uchiha Madara, would promote a movie.
Wait, Uchiha Izuna is acting in a movie? As an intelligence operative, shouldn't you be most concerned with discretion? Why have you stepped out from behind the scenes to become an actor on the big screen?!
Is this what they mean when they say the most dangerous place is actually the safest place?!
Uchiha Izuna: You're overthinking it; it's simply a case of plans failing to keep up with changes.
In the past, Uchiha Izuna was indeed like that; during the Sengoku Era, he hid behind the illustrious reputation of Uchiha Madara, handling the management of Uchiha Madara's rear.
"That leader's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, is indeed very strong as well," the blonde little girl Elise said while playing with a doll in her hands.
"I didn't lose unfairly." Mori Ougai sighed softly. Spending time with them lately had made him increasingly aware of Uchiha Madara's terrifying nature. After the other's brother arrived, he had originally thought he might find a breakthrough through Uchiha Izuna, but the more he tested him, the more alarmed he became; Uchiha Izuna's intelligence and strength were not inferior to his own at all.
He just didn't know what the identities of these two brothers actually were, as their origins still hadn't been traced even now.
Oda Sakunosuke, who had only recently moved, walked along the street at night after finishing drinks with his close friend at a bar. Thinking back to his life a month ago, he felt that time had passed far too quickly.
An invasion by an overseas organization, the disappearance of a close friend, orders from the leader—he had thought that he might finally meet his end this time. He hadn't expected that with a sudden turn of fate, he would transform from a low-level member of the Port Mafia doing jobs like corpse disposal and debt collection, into someone who had even brought his friend, Dazai Osamu, along.
As expected, one should always strive to do more good deeds!
Thinking as he walked, Oda Sakunosuke fell silent when he reached the door.
Even though it was a strange doorway, there was a familiar dark shadow, the familiar activation of the Flawless ability, the familiar fan emblem.
This time, he could even judge from the extent of the Flawless activation that the opponent's strength was far inferior to the Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna he had just rescued.
Oda Sakunosuke helped up the person lying on the ground. The way their hair stood up in an arc felt somewhat familiar to him, but compared to the previous two Uchihas, his hair was a bit curly, looking like the kind that made you want to run your hands through it.
Chapter 11
Uchiha Shisui felt as if a long time had passed in the darkness, his consciousness stagnant. Suddenly, at a certain moment, time began to flow, his thoughts began to leap.
When he woke up, his eyes were met with darkness, he was covered by a warm and comfortable quilt.
"You're awake." A mature male voice rang out in the room, at the same time, Uchiha Shisui felt someone drawing closer and closer to him.
With this attitude, could it be that he had been rescued by someone?
“You have quite a few injuries, so you can only eat something light.” The man skillfully helped him up, while simultaneously bringing the steaming bowl to her lips. “This is white porridge I just cooked; have some.”
Since the other party had saved him, it meant that, at the very least, there was no ill intent toward him right now. Uchiha Shisui suppressed his own thoughts and drank the white porridge.
Oda Sakunosuke watched him eat the porridge with a kind gaze. He looked to be only about sixteen or seventeen years old, it was hard to tell what had happened to him, but he was covered in so many wounds that it was truly shocking to look at. If he hadn't already encountered two injured members of the Uchiha Clan, he really wouldn't have been able to handle all these wounds by himself at home.
Using the experience gained from taking care of the previous two blind Uchihas, Oda Sakunosuke perfectly fed the food to the other.
“Hey, let's introduce ourselves!” Having finished packing his things, Oda Sakunosuke sat opposite Uchiha Shisui. "My name is Oda Sakunosuke, you can call me Oda. If I may ask, do you know Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna?"
He had to ask if this child before him was just like Uchiha Madara back then, not wanting his news to be known by his Uchiha kin.
"Madara-san?" Uchiha Shisui froze for a moment before reacting in shock!
Who in the village doesn't know Madara-san? That massive statue is still standing there at the Valley of the End!
Not to mention that Uchiha Madara was a powerhouse produced by the Uchiha Clan. Although Uchiha Madara was a rogue ninja, he was indeed incredibly strong, the Uchiha worship the strong. As for his deeds, Uchiha Shisui was completely familiar with them.
"I know him," Uchiha Shisui said in a heavy voice.
As long as you know them," Oda Sakunosuke nodded. "Then, do you need to contact them?
"Contact?!" Uchiha Shisui was truly shocked this time! Hadn't Madara-san been dead for a long time?! Why would he talk about contacting him?!
"Why are you so excited?" Oda Sakunosuke found it a bit strange. He didn't know what was wrong with these Uchiha, but they became incredibly agitated at the mere mention of another Uchiha. Then again, it was understandable; after all, once you mentioned that Uchiha Izuna was Uchiha Madara's brother, it made sense.
"Could it be that you are also Madara-san's younger brother?" Oda Sakunosuke's eyes lit up.
No, no, no!!" Uchiha Shisui shook his head hurriedly. "By generation, I am Madara-san's great-great-grandson.
Great-great-grandson?! Unable to believe this answer, Oda Sakunosuke thought for a long time before he could only manage a single sentence: "Madara-san's seniority is truly immense."
Uchiha Shisui was about to excitedly grab him to ask what he meant by that previous sentence—what did he mean by "also a younger brother"? Instead, the surge of blood to his head caused him to feel dizzy and lightheaded.
Oda Sakunosuke could tell what was happening just by looking at him, immediately told him to lie down. "Don't get worked up. Your injuries are too severe and you need proper rest. There's no rush; we can talk about whatever it is once you've recovered."
He couldn't help but ruffle his hair twice, fulfilling his long-held wish to stroke an Uchiha; this Uchiha looked much younger than the previous two, so stroking him once should be fine.
Uchiha Shisui also knew his own condition made strenuous exercise unsuitable; besides, this person in front of him didn't seem like a bad person? He lay down with a hint of vigilance, only after hearing the sound of the other person leaving did he stop forcing himself to stay conscious, instead slowly surrendering to his body's needs and falling asleep.
Lupin Bar
Your resume has no issues; you can start working in a few days," Sakaguchi Ango said, pulling out a stack of documents. "Dazai is a bit more problematic. As you know, not only has he done plenty of shady things, but he's also an executive of the Port Mafia.
Oda Sakunosuke nodded; Dazai's identity was indeed problematic.
Speaking of Dazai, why hasn't he shown up yet? Didn't he say a few days ago that we were supposed to meet here on time?
When Sakaguchi Ango was mentioned, he began complaining about a certain friend who was long overdue for their meeting.
"I'm here!" Suddenly, a dying voice drifted from behind them.
Oda Sakunosuke and Sakaguchi Ango both turned to look back at the sound at the same time.
Dazai Osamu was seen bending over listlessly, his arms hanging limp at his sides. His trench coat, which usually remained unwrinkled no matter how much he caused trouble, was now all crumpled, looking as if it had been thoroughly ravaged.
"Were you beaten up?" Oda Sakunosuke asked curiously, looking at Dazai Osamu.
Who would dare hit him!" Sakaguchi Ango said casually. "He must have run into someone over some romantic entanglement.
"I went to see the tsunami and the earthquake last night." Dazai Osamu slowly moved to a chair at the bar, his entire body slumped over the bar counter.
"Today's reports do mention a tsunami in the western region last night, but why did you go out of your way to see it?" Oda Sakunosuke asked, feeling quite puzzled.
"Who would go out of their way to see a tsunami?" Dazai Osamu rolled his eyes, full of resentment.
