Konoha: The Thirty-Year-Old Uchiha Can’t Be Bothered

"Ding, detected that host’s age has reached thirty, system will now activate. Confirm activation...?"

...

"No no no no!!!!!!"

"Detected strong rejection from host. System entering cooldown. Complete accumulated tasks to unlock. During cooldown, host’s age will remain at thirty as punishment..."

"??????"

In the second year of Konoha, just as Uchiha Madara was about to leave the village, a curly-haired man blocked his path. Madara’s expression softened slightly.

"Cousin, you don’t need to persuade me. My mind is made up."

"Little cousin, it’s a harsh world out there. I don’t have much to offer you, but take this. Don’t let yourself suffer outside."

Uchiha Gin shoved a storage scroll into Madara’s hands and bid him farewell with tears.

Years later, while resting after capturing the Nine-Tails, Uchiha Madara absentmindedly opened the scroll his cousin had given him. Staring at the mountain of gold bars and several strange ninja tools he’d never seen before, he fell into deep thought.
