After Too Much Peace, Hoshiryu Uchiha Decided to Stir Things Up

When Chika brought Tsunade to the dining room, everyone had already arrived.

Mito Uzumaki sat at the head of the table. Yosuke Senju and his wife, who had been nowhere to be seen earlier, sat beside her, chatting happily.

Orochimaru was asking Hoshiryu Uchiha about something.

When Tsunade saw her parents, she happily ran over and showed off the results of her training that day.

The heartwarming scene brought a lovely smile to Chika's face.

Seeing Chika standing there, Mito Uzumaki said with a smile, "Little Chika, come sit down too."

At that, Chika shook her head, then bowed and left.

Seeing that she was still like this, Mito Uzumaki did not press her.

No matter how much Mito Uzumaki had tried to persuade her over the years, Chika had always held herself to strict standards.

Some things could only be understood once the person involved figured them out for themselves.

Setting those thoughts aside, Mito Uzumaki said to Yosuke Senju, "Yosuke, nothing has happened within the clan recently, right?"

Upon hearing that, Yosuke Senju seemed to think of something, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

But after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Mom, while nothing has happened to the Senju Clan in Konoha recently..."

"On the battlefield, the Senju Clan has suffered heavy casualties."

"They know they have lost this war, so their attacks have become extremely frenzied."

Mito Uzumaki knew about this as well, but there was little she could do.

The final madness on the battlefield was nothing more than the last revenge of those whose loved ones had died at Konoha's hands.

The war was about to end. If they did not take revenge now, who knew when they would get another chance?

Mito Uzumaki was exceptionally powerful and highly skilled in Sealing Techniques.

She could effectively support the battlefield and ease the Senju Clan's burden.

But she was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. If Mito Uzumaki appeared on the front lines, this war, which was nearly over, would continue.

As for the other ninja clans, they would not abandon their own people to support others instead.

Everyone had their own difficulties, and Mito Uzumaki naturally could not blame them.

So she could only remain in Konoha and treat the families of the fallen clan members well.

Mito Uzumaki looked somewhat despondent. The Senju Clan had lost far too much in this war.

Not only had they suffered devastating losses among their clan members, but many who had lived through the Warring States had also perished.

Even Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, had fallen before the dawn.

He had gone to sign a peace treaty, only for both the Second Raikage and the Hokage to die there.

If not for the Cloud Ninja Militant Faction led by the Gold and Silver Brothers, this war might have ended long ago.

Without any better solution, Mito Uzumaki could only discuss with Yosuke Senju how to provide greater compensation to the families of the fallen clan members.

Hoshiryu Uchiha listened to their conversation from the side and fell into thought as well.

The conversation between Mito Uzumaki and Yosuke Senju revealed something.

Although the war had reached its end, the Senju Clan's casualties had instead increased.

This might have something to do with the Senju Clan's quiet disappearance in the future.

Hoshiryu Uchiha wondered whether he had any good solution.

Over the past few days, he had read a great deal of knowledge about Sealing Techniques and gained some understanding of them.

There was a method among Sealing Techniques that could seal ninjutsu, and Exploding Tags were related to it.

Then, was it possible to seal the Mystical Palm Technique and make it into first-aid supplies to treat the wounded?

It sounded simple, but it would definitely be difficult in practice.

After all, the era of ninja had lasted for over a thousand years. If it were truly that easy, this method would have replaced conventional ninja combat long ago.

There would be no need for hand seals. During battle, one would only need to throw out a sealed technique. Wouldn't that be far more convenient than ninjutsu?

So it was not that no one used it, but that it could not be done.

After thinking for a while, he shifted his gaze to the AFK System.

Others could not do it, but that did not mean Hoshiryu Uchiha could not.

Judging by the system's classification of abilities, he could probably do it as long as he AFKed Sealing Techniques to blue grade.

As for the Mystical Palm Technique, there were still people in Konoha capable of using it.

There was no need for Hoshiryu Uchiha to AFK it himself.

The Senju Clan would be his support in the future. Reducing their casualties now counted as preserving the strength of his own people.

Besides, Mito Uzumaki had treated him so well. Even if he were simply helping her out, it was no big deal.

What was more, if he truly created Medical Talismans, it would greatly benefit Hoshiryu Uchiha's reputation.

Kakashi Hatake had become famous after creating Chidori, while Tsunade had improved Konoha's medical system, allowing her to return to the position of Fifth Hokage even decades later.

Medical Talismans could be regarded as a combination of both. Once such a revolutionary product appeared, the next Hokage would basically be guaranteed to be Hoshiryu Uchiha.

Although the other ninja villages would also see him as a thorn in their side, he was not afraid.

Hoshiryu Uchiha did not plan to graduate early. He still had five or six years before becoming a ninja.

As long as he was not a ninja, the Hokage could not make him take missions. If he did not take missions, he would not run into ambushes.

And within the village, who could hide from Mito Uzumaki's Malice Sensing?

With that in mind, Hoshiryu Uchiha removed Fire Style from the system's AFK Slot and replaced it with the Sealing Techniques (Green) he had learned over the past few days.

At the system's current AFK speed, abilities below blue grade upgraded very quickly. They could reach blue grade in around ten days or so.

Besides, Sealing Techniques were quite useful as well, so AFKing this ability was not a loss.

Although Hoshiryu Uchiha had already decided to help Mito Uzumaki, nothing was certain yet, so he did not tell them.

He planned to wait until he had succeeded, then give them a surprise.

By then, Mito Uzumaki had finished discussing work matters with Yosuke Senju.

Although those matters gave her a headache, it was time to eat.

She suppressed her thoughts, then tapped the table and said, "Today, Little Xingliu brought a classmate home. Let us welcome him."

Upon hearing that, everyone present raised their drinks and welcomed Orochimaru.

Orochimaru blushed a little at the scene. After composing himself for a moment, he said, "Thank you, Grandma Mito. I'll drink first."

As he spoke, he picked up his drink and downed it in one gulp.

His little adult manner made everyone laugh, unable to hold it in.

For a time, the room was filled with joy.

Meanwhile, at the home of Uchiha Ang, the Second Elder of the Uchiha Clan.

The Uchiha elders and clan heads, who had gathered not long ago, had once again assembled.

Unlike the previous gathering called by Uchiha Setsuna, this one had been convened by Uchiha Ang of the Dove Faction.

"Haven't we been gathering a little too frequently these past few days?"

"This old man was having dinner with his grandson when I was called over again. What is it this time?"

"I was having dinner with my precious granddaughter too. If this isn't important, I'll beat Ang's shit out of him and let him know this old man isn't some yes-man who comes whenever he's called!"
