No Secrets Beneath the Mind's Eye! The Bloodline Crystallization of Two Clans

Over the years, Mito Uzumaki had met many powerful Uchiha Clan strong ones. The one who had left the deepest impression on her was naturally Madara Uchiha...

When she was young, because of her husband Hashirama Senju, she had inevitably crossed paths with Madara Uchiha.

Even without his Sharingan activated, that man's black eyes had been as bright and spirited as Liuyun's, leaving a deep impression on her.

Her husband had once explained in private that this was an outward sign of Sharingan ocular power reaching a certain level of strength.

"Grandma Mito, Liuyun wants to treat me to dinner tonight. Is that okay...?"

Kushina lowered her head, her face flushed as she quietly asked for permission.

"Of course! Your deskmate is treating you to a feast—why wouldn't you go?"

Mito Uzumaki was exceptionally understanding and very friendly toward Liuyun.

Just as the three of them chatted and laughed at the door, an discordant voice suddenly rang out:

"Hey, you shameless little brat! You even dare flirt with girls right at our doorstep? Looks like you're tired of living!"

Tsunade strode toward them, her pretty face filled with displeasure.

It was one thing for this Uchiha brat to have an ambiguous relationship with Kushina at school, but now he even dared to come to their doorstep to hit on a girl?

Did he really think there was no one left in the Senju Clan???

"Tsunade..."

Kushina hurriedly greeted her, too embarrassed to lift her head at Tsunade's vulgar words.

"Um... Tsunade-sama!"

Liuyun bowed politely. He looked very well-mannered, yet Tsunade somehow felt even more annoyed...

Especially that accent—wasn't it way too damn off?

"Tsunade, don't be rude!"

"You're supposed to be the older sister, yet you set no good example at all. You bluster around all day without a shred of propriety. Is this how I taught you?"

Mito Uzumaki scolded her with a stern face. This troublesome girl loved spouting nonsense, never learning the good and always learning the bad...

"Grandma... I'm guarding against a little thief... If I don't interfere, your precious darling will be lured away..."

Though Tsunade feared her grandmother somewhat, she still forced herself to explain.

"..."

Liuyun stood silently in place. His face looked somewhat "blank," as if he had no idea what Tsunade was talking about.

Seeing Liuyun's expression, Tsunade's displeasure grew even stronger.

"Oh, oh, oh, playing dumb now? I know exactly what this little thief is thinking."

Tsunade bent down slightly and thrust her large head close to Liuyun's face, wearing an expression that said, I've already seen through you.

Startled by her ill-intentioned smile, Liuyun took a small step back, forcing a stiff smile onto his face.

"That's enough, Tsunade!"

Mito Uzumaki raised her cane, ready to knock her on the head. Tsunade fled with her head in her hands, not daring to keep teasing the two youngsters.

"It's getting late. Hurry and go eat... Don't go hungry..." Mito Uzumaki smiled warmly at them and waved her hand.

"Mm-hm, then we'll be going. Grandma Mito, you should go eat too!" Liuyun bowed to her.

Soon, the two youths walked off into the distance beneath Mito Uzumaki's gaze.

"Grandma, dinner's ready. Let's go eat..."

Seeing her grandmother remain standing there, staring blankly at the two figures leaving, Tsunade reached out to support her arm.

"Tsunade, did you notice that child's eyes... are very unusual?"

Mito Uzumaki suddenly spoke softly.

Tsunade was clearly stunned by those words, but after thinking for a moment, she replied:

"He has the Uchiha Clan's bloodline. Isn't it normal for his eyes to be bright and spirited...?"

Tsunade actually felt that those eyes were unusual too, but she could not describe it properly. She could only sum it up as "bright and spirited."

"No. His ocular power is clearly different from ordinary people's—stronger even than that of most adult Uchiha Clan members!"

"Watch carefully in the future. Compare him with others, and you'll notice it!" Mito Uzumaki's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"What?!"

Tsunade's face changed upon hearing this.

Her grandmother would never speak carelessly when she was serious. If she said that, she must have seen something.

The Uzumaki Clan possessed a special sensory ability called the "Mind's Eye." Her grandmother had awakened and mastered this ability.

"I suspect he may have already awakened his Sharingan!"

"That's impossible! How old is that child now? He isn't even a shinobi yet..."

Tsunade instinctively denied it. She found it hard to believe her grandmother's guess.

"Then you're wrong. The amount of Chakra in his body is already comparable to that of an ordinary Jonin..."

As Mito Uzumaki spoke, clear wariness appeared on her face.

"What?!"

Tsunade froze for a moment before crying out in shock.

"That completely defies common sense! Grandma, could your perception have been wrong...?"

Although she knew the odds of Mito Uzumaki becoming muddled with age and making a mistake were very low, Tsunade could not help thinking so.

In truth, Mito Uzumaki had repeatedly confirmed it earlier. She had even touched Liuyun's body herself. There was no possibility of error, though even Mito Uzumaki did not understand this situation.

"It can't be wrong. I found it hard to believe at first too, but the facts are the facts... That child is far from simple. If possible, you should keep a close eye on him!"

Tsunade was somewhat unresponsive upon hearing this. She had not yet recovered from the shock.

After a long while, she seemed to think of something. Looking at Mito Uzumaki, she spoke in a trembling voice:

"Uchiha Liuyun... Uchiha bloodline, Senju Bloodline... G-Grandma, could it be because he possesses both of these top-tier bloodlines?"

"Could the union of two powerful bloodlines have caused this kind of 'mutation'?"

The Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan were the two strongest great clans in the Shinobi World. Their members were born with far greater Chakra reserves than others.

Tsunade wondered whether this little brat Liuyun had fused two powerful bloodlines and, because of that, awakened the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai.

That would also explain why he possessed a Jonin's amount of Chakra. And the fact that the ocular power in his eyes was stronger than others' seemed to be barely explainable as well...

Mito Uzumaki's pupils suddenly constricted upon hearing this.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out..."

The Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan had not never intermarried during the Warring States Period. If every such union produced someone like Liuyun, the two clans would have married wholesale and joined forces long ago... Why would they have fought like mad?

But Mito Uzumaki did not dare dismiss the possibility either. After all, Liuyun was a living example right before her.

A fifth-grade elementary school student possessed a Jonin's amount of Chakra and was suspected of having awakened the Sharingan. It was far too insane! Far too absurd!

Mito Uzumaki had a feeling that Liuyun's value might even surpass Kushina's.

"This must be kept secret. Otherwise, it will surely bring that child a deadly disaster..."

Mito Uzumaki gave a solemn warning.

"I know!"

Tsunade nodded hurriedly. Even without her grandmother telling her, she understood something like this.
