When Konoha's White Fang arrived on the front lines, the morale of the Konoha ninja was greatly boosted.
In the eyes of outsiders, Uchiha Yoru was lucky to be able to return to Konoha for a rest with Tsunade's squad.
At the time, as students graduating from the same class, Uchiha Yoru, Nawaki, and Minato Namikaze, who had the best grades, were each assigned to a squad led by one of the Third Hokage's disciples as their jonin leader.
"Hurry up, kid."
"Yes."
Along the way, it seemed that because of the intelligence scroll from two days ago, Tsunade had been in a bad mood lately.
However, the youthful Tsunade with her pair of golden pigtails truly looked valiant and spirited.
Uchiha Yoru maintained a resolute expression, vigilantly watching his surroundings from time to time, as the group traveled toward Konoha at the fastest possible speed.
[Perfect Version - Chimera Technique]
At this moment, a forbidden jutsu that shouldn't exist in this time was sealed within Uchiha Yoru's mind, and it was a perfect version at that.
This was a first-purchase reward he had received from a game in his previous life, obtained by using his free time as a top salesman. He never expected it to come with him to this world.
"This forbidden jutsu is powerful, but it's also extremely difficult to master, especially a perfect version."
Only after arriving in this real ninja world could he realize that so-called forbidden jutsu were all incredibly dangerous.
Through this jutsu, he could devour bloodlines to strengthen himself, but each time he devoured a bloodline, it required a significant amount of time for his body to fully integrate.
"In that case, using this forbidden jutsu to devour bloodlines will require something like a genetic stabilizer or a similar potion."
As he thought of this, Uchiha Yoru's gaze couldn't help but fall on Tsunade, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Wasn't the most powerful support right in front of him? If nothing went wrong, he would have to rely on Tsunade after his first use of this jutsu.
After all, if he had to rely on his own medical ninjutsu knowledge, he didn't know how long it would take to even create such a potion, and more importantly, such potions were extremely expensive.
...
Several days later, the group finally returned to Konoha.
In the Senju Clan compound.
"Grandma Mito, regardless of whether this information is true or false, Nawaki's safety must be taken seriously!"
After returning to the village, Tsunade, just as she always did, first went to the Hokage's office to turn in the mission report before returning to her clan's compound.
But upon returning and finding Mito Uzumaki, her expression was filled with anger.
Mito Uzumaki looked very old, and the Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead could no longer stop the passage of time. It was clear she was nearing the end of her life.
However, after hearing Tsunade's information, Mito Uzumaki's kind expression turned serious.
"That old man Uchiha Setsuna has really changed!"
"It seems that old ghost has gotten smarter, or perhaps he suffered a lot while imprisoned last time. He even knows how to scheme in the dark now!"
Mito Uzumaki's first thought was how much the Uchiha elder had changed, to the point of using such underhanded tactics.
"Grandma! What about Nawaki?"
Tsunade was clearly tense, but Mito Uzumaki merely gave a cold huff.
"You're so impulsive; how can you ever accomplish anything great!"
The hot-tempered Tsunade was quite well-behaved in front of Mito Uzumaki, and she could only sigh helplessly.
Mito Uzumaki, on the other hand, pondered for a moment before speaking seriously:
"Nawaki's safety is a must, but if someone is plotting against him even under Orochimaru's supervision, Tsunade, you must understand the severity of this matter!"
This time, Tsunade's expression also became serious, and she gave a heavy nod.
"Few people among Konoha's jonin can suppress Orochimaru's strength, and Orochimaru's vigilance is also very high. If someone is truly trying to harm Nawaki, the only way to prevent it is if Nawaki never leaves the village!"
It's one thing to be a thief for a thousand days, but another to be on guard against a thief for a thousand days!
At this point, Tsunade's expression became even more enraged.
"Damn it! Are they really treating the Senju clan as if we no longer exist?"
Facing Tsunade's anger, Mito Uzumaki fell silent, finally sighing faintly.
She may have a noble status, but in the end, the Nine-Tails jinchuriki is merely a weapon of the village. What was the difference between her now and being a prisoner in Konoha?
"Tsunade, I'm old. I don't have many years left to live. If this is true, then maybe you can use this opportunity to send Nawaki away."
Mito Uzumaki sighed softly, and when Tsunade heard her, she froze, looking at her grandmother in shock.
Mito Uzumaki shook her head and sighed, "You can defend against it this time, but what about next time?"
"The Konoha of today no longer needs the Senju clan of the past."
The Senju of the past!
These words made Tsunade's heart sink. She was silent for a long time before nodding and saying in a low voice, "I understand."
The Konoha of today was no longer the era where the Senju clan had absolute authority!
...
"Finally, I'm home!"
Back in Konoha, Uchiha Yoru stood in the sunlight with an expression of pure bliss.
The Land of Rain, with its constant dreary rain, was simply terrible. He had never felt so comfortable enjoying the sunlight.
Although the Uchiha clan was ostracized, they hadn't been relocated to the outskirts of Konoha yet, so their compound was still in the most prosperous part of the village.
"Yoru, welcome home."
Just as Uchiha Yoru pushed the door open, a voice suddenly came from inside, causing him to instantly stiffen.
"Big... Big Sister Mikoto!"
Inside the house, Uchiha Mikoto, with a standard Uchiha-style longsword on her back, gave a gentle smile. However, in her eyes, there was a hint of something off.
The moment he saw Uchiha Mikoto, Uchiha Yoru's expression became somewhat rigid.
But Uchiha Mikoto was already walking toward him, and with practiced ease, she reached out with both hands and cupped his cheeks.
This action made Uchiha Yoru panic, "Big Sister Mikoto, don't! I'm still..."
He hadn't even finished speaking when Uchiha Mikoto's hands peeled back his eyelids. With a gentle smile, she said softly:
"You still haven't awakened your eyes? Yoru-kun, you really are a little weakling."
A little weakling!
Have you ever seen a gentle, sweet girl who speaks so cruelly while smiling so sweetly?
This is so Uchiha!
After all, the spiritual stimulation that comes with awakening a Sharingan is intense!
When he saw the two tomoe in Uchiha Mikoto's crimson eyes, Uchiha Yoru showed a mix of envy and helplessness.
Sure enough!
Uchiha Mikoto's Sharingan had evolved!
The activation and evolution of the Sharingan are always accompanied by violent emotional fluctuations, mostly from losing a loved one or experiencing great pain.
When the Sharingan is awakened or evolves, a special chakra surges in the brain, further stimulating the mind.
For Uchiha ninjas who have just awakened or evolved their Sharingan, their personalities are extremely unstable, easily becoming irritable and angry, and they need to be properly guided to vent those feelings.
"Big Sister Mikoto!"
The moment the door closed, Uchiha Yoru viciously shoved Uchiha Mikoto to the ground and then pulled out the leather whip he had already prepared in the house.
