Tsunade

The next day at noon, at the Uchiha Clan Head's home.

Shin had just gotten up and was washing up.

The night before, their family of four had held the Uchiha's first-ever "Barbecue Party."

Naturally, it had been a warm and joyful scene, with the whole family loving one another dearly.

At Aoko's "request," Chiken, the grill master, dutifully lit ten Little Candles.

Shin had quite enjoyed it, even declaring before he left that they should hold a second one next year.

That had driven Chiken hopping mad.

He had declared on the spot that if Shin dared come again, he would dare beat him.

Frightened, Shin had no choice but to grill two more pairs of chicken wings to calm himself down.

"What a wonderful night."

Shin, who had planned to come again that evening, felt that even Mother might not be able to save him this time.

With no choice but to come back another day, he began considering what he should do today.

"Sigh, maybe I'll play with shuriken with Brother Fugaku today..." After washing up, Shin headed toward the clan training grounds.

Uchiha Clan Grounds training field.

Fugaku was practicing his shuriken technique.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

Several shuriken curved around a large tree and embedded themselves in the bullseye of a target behind it.

Fugaku looked at the results and felt quite satisfied.

After pulling the shuriken from the target, he returned to his original position, intending to practice until dinner.

Ever since seeing Shin develop such a powerful Chakra Mode, he had decided to seriously study shuriken techniques.

He could now rely on pure skill to make shuriken curve in midair.

When Shin arrived at the training field, he saw Fugaku facing away from him, intently throwing shuriken.

An idea immediately came to him. Activating Lightning Chakra Mode in all four limbs, he caught every shuriken flying toward the target in his hands.

"???" Fugaku's face was full of question marks.

A white flash of lightning had appeared near the shuriken he had just thrown.

Then, for no apparent reason, they had vanished into thin air.

"Wait, white lightning?" Realizing what had happened, Fugaku shouted around him, "Shin! You did this, didn't you?!"

"Tch, Brother Fugaku figured it out so quickly. That's really no fun..."

After a flash of white lightning, Shin appeared in front of him.

Fugaku immediately felt a severe discomfort in his head.

This "adorable" little brother had just "tormented" their father last night, and today it was his turn?

Seeing Fugaku's awkward expression, Shin could not understand it at all. "Am I really that scary...?"

"Come on, Brother Fugaku. Let's practice shuriken techniques together today."

With that, he tossed the shuriken to Fugaku.

With a helpless look on his face, Fugaku caught the shuriken and threw them toward the target.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The sounds of shuriken cutting through the air rose and fell.

Using the speed boost from Lightning Chakra Mode, Shin caught every shuriken again.

Then he returned them to his older brother, whose face had already darkened somewhat.

Half an hour later.

Fugaku left the training field with an unhappy expression.

"What a cheapskate. So what if I caught all his shuriken? Did he really need to leave wearing that expression..." Shin muttered to himself in the training field.

He discovered that using Elemental Chakra Mode today consumed far less Chakra than it had yesterday.

Moreover, his cells' Chakra capacity was also increasing slightly.

If not for his Human Computer ability, he might not have noticed it.

"Brother Fugaku will definitely be avoiding me for the next few days. Maybe tomorrow I should talk to Father about the Shopping Street?"

Shin realized that while this world had all sorts of electrical appliances, they had never been developed very extensively.

It made him wonder if these people had practiced ninjutsu so much that their brains had all gone haywire.

After all, Ao had even pulled out a Gatling gun in Boruto.

Shin decided that tomorrow, he would properly "persuade" Chiken to vigorously develop technology.

Meanwhile, at the Senju Clan Training Grounds.

Nawaki was drenched in sweat as he punched a massive wooden post nearly three meters thick.

At the center of the post were four crookedly carved characters: Uchiha Shin.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of fists striking echoed throughout the training field, while the carved words on the post gradually blurred beneath Nawaki's repeated blows.

With a loud boom, the post was struck clean off the ground and sent flying backward.

Seeing this, Nawaki immediately walked over to another post of similar size.

Then he took out a kunai and began carving something crookedly onto it.

"Nawaki, what are you doing?" A light-haired girl stood behind him and asked bluntly.

Nawaki glanced back at her, and his expression immediately turned constipated. "Sis, I'm training."

The girl looked at the fallen post, toppled by repeated strikes.

Then she looked at the four crookedly carved characters on it.

She suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahahaha... What is this? Is this that Uchiha who refused to reveal his name, or some kind of model student?"

As she laughed, she even squatted down and held her stomach.

Listening to his sister's laughter with an embarrassed expression, Nawaki only wanted to vanish on the spot.

What is wrong with this world? When will Lord Nawaki finally be able to stand tall?

"Sis, wasn't laughing all day yesterday enough?"

Nawaki clenched his fists and declared his current life goal in a firm tone. "I will personally wash away this humiliation!"

Indeed, the matter of the Senju family's young master had dominated the Konoha Daily headlines these past few days.

It meant that whenever he went out, people pointed and whispered about him. Only by "hiding" in the training field and training like his life depended on it could he find some peace.

Ahem... he was actually venting, but he stubbornly believed it was all training.

Hearing Nawaki's words, Tsunade laughed even louder.

Holding her stomach, she was nearly laughing herself to tears.

"I... I can't... Nawaki, are you..." Tsunade wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked between gasps, "Are you trying to laugh me to death... so you can inherit... my es...tate?"

Nawaki's face turned green. He knew she had definitely come to mock him.

Ever since he was little, he had never been able to escape this "shadow."

Humiliated into anger, he retorted, "Sis, stop laughing already! You have no idea how awful that brat is. He used Genjutsu to ambush me when I wasn't paying attention. Even you might not have been able to avoid it if it were you!"

"Oh? Then why does the newspaper say you were the one who ambushed him?" Tsunade tried to compose herself.

However, the twitching muscles on her face showed that it was not working very well.

Nawaki bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

His face flushed red as he angrily snapped, "It must have been the Uchiha family's doing! That guy's father is the clan head. We had a fair du..."

"Pfft, hahahahaha..." Seeing his bright red face, Tsunade could not hold back her laughter.

Nawaki was interrupted by her laughter and seemed to choke on his own words.

His face became even redder.

Afraid that he might actually choke himself sick, Tsunade hurriedly promised, "Fine, I won't laugh."

Only then did Nawaki's expression ease slightly.

Wanting his sister to help train him, he switched to a pleading tone. "Sis, you have to help me. That brat's Genjutsu is incredibly powerful. I definitely can't beat him without your help."

"Of course, of course. I'm the Third Hokage's most favored disciple!"

(Third Hokage: I never said that!!!)

"Then let's start now!" Nawaki looked at her expectantly.

Thus, after receiving Tsunade's "training," Nawaki swore never to ask her for help again.

Had anyone ever seen training that involved beating someone half to death?

At any rate, he felt that this world was full of ugliness, and everyone was targeting him.

Nawaki also believed that after becoming Hokage, the first thing he had to do was hang Uchiha Shin at Konoha's entrance for people to "admire."

That way, everyone would clearly understand exactly what happened when they offended Lord Nawaki.
