The heavy breathing of The Rise of the Radiant Moon clearly caught Madara's attention. When he turned to see The Rise of the Radiant Moon looking so excited that he seemed about to faint, he subconsciously wanted to back away.
[This guy is trouble.]
Just as Madara decided to back off a bit, Uchiha Masaki pushed The Rise of the Radiant Moon towards him. "Watch this guy and yourself. I'm gonna get in on the action too."
As soon as he said that, he rushed forward and jumped into the fray. He cooperated with Uchiha Ryo to further corner two Hyuga clan ninjas, leaving Madara and The Rise of the Radiant Moon looking at each other in surprise.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Madara took a step across resignedly. He endured the discomfort in his heart and stood in front of The Rise of the Radiant Moon instead of Uchiha Masaki. At the same time, he secretly prayed that this fight would end soon—he really didn't want to stay with this strange guy any longer.
On the other side, as soon as Uchiha Masaki joined the battlefield, he targeted the Hyuga clan ninja whose eyes had been gouged out by Uchiha Ryo. After realizing this, Uchiha Ryo quickly switched to the other one and soon gouged out another pair of eyes.
After that, it seemed as if they had made an agreement. No matter what Uchiha Ryo did to the ninja from Kagetsu Valley, Uchiha Masaki would do the same to the other Hyuga clan ninja.
Uchiha Ryo and Uchiha Masaki slowly cut away the flesh of the two Hyuga clan ninjas bit by bit. Then they stabbed their knives along the joints, cut off their limbs, cut open their chests and abdomens, broke their necks, and pinned the two with their internal organs spilling out above Yatsuki Jigen, who had already died from the Bone Darts.
When Uchiha Masaki and Uchiha Ryo walked back chatting and wiping the blood off their hands, Madara, who had witnessed everything, still hadn't recovered from his stiffness.
Although he also killed people and sometimes used [genjutsu] or physical torture on people to obtain information, but to start from provoking and then slowly toy with people until they died...
Madara put away his [Tantō] and quietly clenched and unclenched his fingers to relieve the stiffness caused by gripping the knife handle too tightly just now. "…Is it okay for us to do this?"
"Maybe the Hyuga clan will send someone to target us in the next few days," Uchiha Ryo shook the blood off the blade. "But they won't have the energy to do so soon."
Uchiha Masaki also put away his knife. He couldn't help but turn around and look at the three corpses. "I think it's better to throw them outside. Won't it affect the boss's business here?"
"Well, you're right. Let's apologize to the boss later and clean up. Then we'll throw the two Hyuga clan guys to the street corner," Uchiha Ryo shook the blood off his hand. "As for that Yatsuki clan guy..."
"I'll take care of that guy," The Rise of the Radiant Moon patted the dust off his clothes. His expression and tone were full of regret. "It's a pity that I couldn't save him, but we've already brought the murderer to justice. I'm sure Fang Daimyō won't blame us too much."
Uchiha Ryo looked really self - reproachful. "Yeah, it's really a pity that we were having such a good conversation and then this misfortune happened..."
The Rise of the Radiant Moon let out a sigh. "Yeah, it's such a pity... The Evil Deeds of the Hyuga clan are really abhorrent to both gods and men. I'll have to warn my friends to stay away from them later."
Madara: ...Wasn't that guy killed by us?
Uchiha Masaki, who had come back after comforting the boss, saw this and patted Madara on the shoulder. "I told you those two are of the same kind... One day you'll be as contaminated by this secular world as I am."
Madara turned his head to look at Uchiha Masaki. "...Is this the battle of the ninja clan?"
"Well, I'd say it's just part of it." Uchiha Masaki took out the Scroll of Seals and took out a bucket of water from it, gesturing for Madara to help him pour it so that he could wash the blood off his hands. "The specific result depends on how the Hyuga clan responds later. And it also depends on how things operate among the nobles in the Land of Lightning."
Madara pulled out the stopper and tilted the bottle. "...Didn't you say you're not good at this kind of thing?"
"Of course I'm not good at it..." Uchiha Masaki rubbed his hands and put them under the water flow. "I've just been influenced by it - you've surely heard the saying 'Birds of a feather flock together'?"
Although the Uchiha clan has a bit of a soft spot for its family members, you'd better not be too biased against Uchiha Ryo. Apart from that guy Akihiko who is as black - hearted as him, Hiro learned these bad things later on.
Normally, would anyone be able to kill and knock out their clan members without hesitation soon after starting a mission? Your brother can. I've been beaten by him several times."
"Brother always reasons things out. You definitely deserved it."
"There is indeed a bit of self - inflicted punishment in it. Although..." Uchiha Masaki's mouth twitched. "But you're really hopeless, well, completely hopeless. You just wait to be hoodwinked to death by your brother."
Madara snorted, shifted his gaze to Uchiha Ryo and The Rise of the Radiant Moon who were chatting, and lowered his voice. "...Are we kind of blurring right and wrong and turning things upside down?"
"Well... There aren't so many absolute rights and wrongs," Uchiha Masaki scratched the back of his head and also lowered his voice. "Ninjas are a profession that specializes in doing dirty work. How can they live a life without ever doing anything against their conscience? Your stubborn innocence is really nothing like Uchiha Ryo's."
Madara lowered his head and hugged the bucket, lost in thought.
On the other side, The Rise of the Radiant Moon still looked at Uchiha Ryo with a burning gaze, but their conversation was veering in a suspicious direction. "Do you guys also take long - term guarding missions, Uchiha Ryo?"
"Sure, ninjas do anything as long as there's a reward," Uchiha Ryo chuckled. "Since we've gotten along quite well, I can consider giving you a discount if you want to hire me."
"Oh? Specifically..." The Rise of the Radiant Moon's eyes swept over the gesture Uchiha Ryo made, and his words suddenly got stuck. "Well... This is really a price I can't afford."
"The prices for long - term missions and short - term missions are different," Uchiha Ryo smiled again and then turned to the three corpses on one side. "You've worked hard during this period, guys. Let's go our separate ways from now on.
After all, since we've sent a gift back to the Hyuga clan, they'll probably, out of surprise, really want to have a polite talk with us."
It seems the given final translation already adheres to the terminology list accurately, so no changes are needed.
