Studying medicine couldn't save the shinobi world!
At the border of the Land of Rain, within the Konoha Shinobi garrison camp.
A fine rain fell endlessly outside the tents, and the dampness in the air felt somewhat unpleasant.
"Hey, hey, Uchiha brat, studying medicine couldn't save the shinobi world."
Inside the tent, Tsunade, the logistics commander of the Land of Rain battlefield, wore a rare teasing expression beneath her heroic features.
The youthful Uchiha Yoru, wearing a Konoha forehead protector, had a determined look on his face.
"Captain Tsunade, for Konoha, for the Will of Fire!"
Uchiha Yoru spoke resolutely, but Tsunade only felt disdain when she saw this. Just as expected of an Uchiha—stubborn!
He was merely a brat brainwashed by the Will of Fire.
Uchiha Yoru had graduated among the top three alongside Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina, then was assigned under Tsunade because of the Second Shinobi World War.
"Alright, alright, you stubborn Uchiha brat. Since it's for Konoha, how is the tallying of the logistics supplies coming along? And how is your Mystical Palm Technique training?"
Under Tsunade's teasing mockery, the young Uchiha Yoru could not help showing a flash of embarrassment, and his voice weakened somewhat.
"Captain Tsunade, I haven't completed my Mystical Palm Technique training yet, but the logistics statistics report is ready."
The young and handsome Uchiha Yoru looked like he was doing his utmost to help Tsunade compile the logistics supply data.
The sight made Tsunade smile with ease. Although this Uchiha brat was not much in terms of strength, his work ability was quite impressive.
Nearly all the Logistics Department's statistical work had been thrown to Uchiha Yoru. She only needed to review it at the end, cutting her workload by more than half.
Tsunade, slacking off and enjoying this rare leisure, still had a grave look beneath her relaxed expression.
The current situation did not seem optimistic.
As Tsunade carefully read the report in her hand, her peripheral vision swept over the Uchiha brat. As expected of the top graduate in the written exams—his mind worked well.
Yet Uchiha Yoru, who appeared to be an innocent and stubborn devotee of the Will of Fire, sneered inwardly.
The best hunters often appeared in the form of prey!
"Oh, right, Captain Tsunade!"
After finishing this logistics report in a short while, Uchiha Yoru showed a hesitant expression.
Tsunade was currently in the prime of her youth. Her dazzling blond hair framed her face as she looked at him with interest, wearing an amused, teasing smile.
"What is it, brat? As long as you're obedient, this captain will make sure nothing happens to you on the battlefield."
Looking at the pair of large golden headlights before him, Uchiha Yoru put on a hesitant expression. In the end, he gritted his teeth and spoke a name.
"Clan Elder!"
In an instant, Tsunade's smile stiffened. Uchiha Yoru pretended to steel himself as he said in a deep voice:
"This concerns an Uchiha Elder!"
An elder of the Uchiha Clan!
There was only one—the Elder Uchiha Setsuna! And he was no ordinary man; even Kishimoto had recorded him.
A Hawk Faction Uchiha who had inherited Madara Uchiha's will, he had incited his clansmen to rebel and cause trouble during the Second Hokage's rule. In the end, he was arrested by the ANBU and imprisoned.
Had the Second Hokage not died so suddenly later on, and had the Shinobi World War not begun, leaving the village in need of the Uchiha's strength, this Elder would never have gotten out.
"Brat!"
Tsunade wore a grave expression as she looked at Uchiha Yoru and said in a low voice:
"He is a dangerous figure. You should know that!"
Facing Tsunade's questioning, Uchiha Yoru nodded firmly.
"Captain Tsunade, I know. But the Elder secretly gave me a scroll, saying this matter concerns the clan's survival and ordering me to deliver it to you."
As he spoke, Uchiha Yoru slowly took out a green scroll from his ninja tool pouch, his expression resolute, and offered it with both hands.
"Captain Tsunade, for the village, if there is anything wrong with this scroll, Genin Uchiha Yoru is willing to bear all responsibility!"
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru was merely an Uchiha who cared deeply for Konoha and had been brainwashed by the Will of Fire.
Seeing this, Tsunade finally nodded to herself.
At the very least, the brat had been under her watch for over a year and had performed well enough. Though he had some brains, his loyalty to the village was every bit as strong as her younger brother's.
"Fine."
After Tsunade took the scroll, a sharp glint flashed through Uchiha Yoru's eyes as he lowered his head.
He had been in this world for twelve years. Although the Uchiha surname was disliked and isolated within the village, it was still a great clan.
Konoha had been founded by the Senju and Uchiha. The Senju had already held the Hokage position twice; by rights, it should be the Uchiha's turn.
Yet the Uchiha were doing worse than those dog-playing Inuzuka Clan fools. Damn it!
Before he came here, the Uchiha had been isolated and ultimately exterminated. If they were still isolated and exterminated after his arrival, would he not have come here for nothing?
How could someone who had been the top sales champion for three consecutive years in charge of the Island Nation market in northern Myanmar in his previous life endure such humiliation?
Especially now that he possessed this world-destroying power, and was in this land of those little Japanese, how could he be willing to remain beneath others forever!
"This is!"
When Tsunade opened the scroll and saw its contents, her expression grew increasingly ugly. At last, she raised her head in fury and glared at Uchiha Yoru.
This brat, whom she had thought rather highly of, had actually delivered such an evil scroll to her!
"Captain Tsunade!"
Facing Tsunade's anger, Uchiha Yoru lowered his head, revealing a resolute expression.
"Konoha Shinobi Uchiha Yoru is willing to accept any punishment!"
Yet after taking a deep breath, Tsunade suppressed the anger in her heart within moments, replacing it with calm.
Tsunade would become the future Fifth Hokage. Naturally, she was not like those ordinary shinobi outside who only had strength and combat sense.
"Brat, aren't you curious?"
Tsunade sneered. The favorable impression she had held toward this Uchiha brat seemed to vanish completely at that moment.
Yet Uchiha Yoru nodded with a firm expression and took the scroll. When he saw its contents, his face changed drastically!
The next moment!
Uchiha Yoru abruptly raised his head and said excitedly to Tsunade, "Captain Tsunade, you absolutely cannot believe this!"
"That old bastard Setsuna clearly hasn't given up his wicked ambitions. He wants to drive a wedge between you and the village. Damn it!"
At this moment, Uchiha Yoru's face was filled with killing intent, as though he wished he could kill that old bastard immediately.
But when Tsunade saw Uchiha Yoru's reaction, she secretly frowned. It seemed this brat had been used.
Thinking about it, that made sense. Who would have thought that a fool brainwashed by the Will of Fire would bring this intelligence to her at the front lines?
That old bastard had probably taken advantage of exactly that, but!
"Brat, no matter what, you absolutely cannot reveal a single word about this intelligence. Otherwise!"
Facing Tsunade's threatening gaze, Uchiha Yoru revealed a wronged and furious expression. Then, suppressing his anger, he nodded firmly.
"I understand, Captain Tsunade. With the Shinobi World War underway, we absolutely cannot allow turmoil within the village."
Seeing Uchiha Yoru's intense reaction, Tsunade finally nodded to herself. It appeared the brat really had been used.
Yet beneath Uchiha Yoru's aggrieved expression, he secretly sighed in relief.
Let the bullets fly for a while first.
He would give Konoha a grand gift first!
Ahem, ahem. After my previous Naruto novel ended, it wasn't that I didn't want to write Naruto anymore—it was just that I truly didn't have any good inspiration at the time.
Judging by this book's title, everyone should know that I had a rich inspiration this time.
