Konoha, before Nawaki's grave.
"Kid!"
Tsunade frowned as black, flame-like Curse Mark patterns spread from Uchiha Yoru's neck while his entire body trembled.
After deliberately activating the Curse Mark Sage Body, endless negative emotions flooded him in an instant. Uchiha Yoru's eyes became bloodshot, and boundless killing intent filled his heart.
"Not good!"
Only then did Tsunade realize something was wrong. This kid had awakened some kind of power, and it did not seem to be the Sharingan.
Uchiha Yoru let out a muffled groan, pain twisting his face. When he saw Tsunade before him, he gritted his teeth and released the Curse Mark Sage Body's restraint on his body.
He had finally caught this opportunity. The woman before him was the foremost practitioner of Medical Ninjutsu in the Shinobi World.
A ninja...
Had to be ruthless with himself!
"Not good, this is!?"
Using the Mystical Palm Technique, Tsunade instantly sensed Uchiha Yoru's current physical condition and could not help but be shocked.
"Some kind of power has awakened within his body, causing a backlash. Isn't this kid an Uchiha?"
The power he had awakened was not the Sharingan, but another force.
No!
"Captain... Captain Tsunade, Uchiha Yoru requests deployment to the battlefield!"
Uchiha Yoru endured the pain as he spoke hoarsely. Veins bulged on his forehead and neck from the torment of the backlash and the surging negative emotions.
Before Tsunade's astonished eyes, a black tomoe gradually appeared in Uchiha Yoru's bloodshot eyes.
The Sharingan had awakened!
Was it because of Nawaki's death, and the pain he felt toward the village and his clan!?
"Shut up, you Uchiha brat."
Tsunade snorted coldly, grabbed him, and vanished from before the Memorial Tablet.
Senju Clan.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a room filled with medical instruments.
An IV needle was inserted into his hand, and fluid dripped steadily from the hanging bottle. The moment he opened his mouth with a hoarse voice, agonizing pain struck him.
"Where is this?"
Pain covered Uchiha Yoru's face. It felt as if every cell in his body were being pierced.
"Looks like you haven't died yet, kid."
Across from him, Tsunade had been examining a scroll on the table. She snorted and raised her head.
"I... what happened to me?"
Uchiha Yoru feigned confusion, while Tsunade merely snorted.
"Kid, you got lucky. You actually awakened two Bloodline Limits at once."
Two Bloodline Limits awakened!
Ordinary ninjas might have considered it pure fantasy, but with Tsunade's knowledge, she knew that although it was rare in the vast Shinobi World, it was not unheard of.
"Bloodline Limits?"
Uchiha Yoru seemed to realize something, his expression complicated.
This sight only made Tsunade more irritated. This kid was truly obsessive. He had been so stimulated by this that he awakened Bloodline Limits—two of them, at that.
Her younger brother had died. She had not awakened a Bloodline Limit, yet an outsider had been stimulated into awakening one?
Still, that was very Uchiha!
"That's right. Kid, you need to know something. In any Kekkei Genkai family, there can be an extremely rare rejection effect—the so-called Bloodline Disease. Naturally, your Uchiha Clan can suffer from it as well."
"Bloodline Disease usually comes from abusing and overtaxing this power, causing irreversible damage to the body over time. Another cause is an innate incompatibility with one's body."
As Tsunade spoke in professional terms, deep curiosity shone in her eyes. After all, for a Medical Ninja, such a case was an exceptionally rare specimen.
"And you, kid, had something wrong with your head and awakened two Bloodline Limits at the same time, causing your body to become incompatible with them."
At this point, Tsunade looked at Uchiha Yoru's IV bottle and snorted.
"In the entire Shinobi World, only a handful of people can prepare this Cell Stabilizing Agent. Every bottle is worth a fortune."
Tsunade's voice echoed through the room as Uchiha Yoru weakly tried to reach up and pull out the IV needle.
"Kid, what are you doing!?"
"I! I don't have that much money!"
Though Uchiha Yoru weakly claimed he had no money, the trace of determination hidden in his eyes told Tsunade everything.
This kid had not given up on going to the battlefield to die.
For a moment, Tsunade developed a headache. It seemed this kid had become like this because of her.
"Kid, do you want to die!?"
As Tsunade's cold voice echoed out, Uchiha Yoru fell silent and gave no answer.
Seeing Uchiha Yoru like this, Tsunade was speechless. Obsessive Uchiha—he was giving her a terrible headache.
Her own younger brother had died, yet it had somehow stimulated an outsider into Eye Awakening. Now she even had to find a way to stop this kid from seeking death.
Ninjas might lie, but the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan would not.
"Nawaki's matter ends here. I need you to remain in the Uchiha Clan."
At Tsunade's cold words, a glimmer of light seemed to appear in Uchiha Yoru's dead eyes. He slowly raised his head to look at her, hope in his gaze, and said hoarsely,
"Captain Tsunade, are you saying you want me to investigate the Uchiha Clan's traitors!"
A pair of blood-red, one-tomoe Sharingan stared directly at her. Only by facing them personally could one understand how absurdly obsessive the Uchiha Clan could be.
Tsunade was speechless. This kid had really gotten carried away. But!
This seemed perfect. She could place a pair of eyes within the Uchiha Clan and at least learn everything that was going on.
Seeing Tsunade remain silent, Uchiha Yoru seemed to imagine something for himself, and a resolute, obsessive expression appeared on his face.
"For Konoha! Don't worry, Captain Tsunade. I will never allow anyone to betray the village!"
There it was!
At that moment, Tsunade sighed inwardly. She had finally experienced the Uchiha described in her clan's records.
Obsessive Uchiha!
While maintaining a resolute expression, Uchiha Yoru secretly sighed in relief as he looked at the IV bottle beside him.
He had finally found someone powerful to rely on. The Genetic Stabilizing Agent was far too precious. Fortunately, everything had gone smoothly.
As long as Tsunade was around, he was confident that he could completely fuse this Bloodline Limit within the next five or six years.
"Lie down. I need to properly study your other Bloodline Limit now."
Tsunade's cold voice seemed to acknowledge his espionage plan.
Uchiha Yoru remained silent and lay on the hospital bed, secretly sighing in relief.
He had won this huge gamble.
Not only had he gained Tsunade's powerful backing, but he had also awakened the Sharingan.
Sure enough, his natural talent was not poor. He had the talent for Eye Awakening, and his eyes had awakened when the negative emotions from the Cursed Seal reached their critical point.
Even if he had lost the gamble, he still had Mikoto as a fallback.
"Kid, the rejection from your Bloodline Limits is severe. If you use them recklessly, be careful—you may not live more than a few years."
Tsunade lowered her head to examine Uchiha Yoru's body, speaking calmly with a frown. Uchiha Yoru, meanwhile, stayed silent, as though still immersed in Nawaki's death.
The sight gave Tsunade a headache. Reasoning with an Uchiha was simply impossible.
"This unknown Bloodline Limit is hidden within your body, but due to the rejection effect, your body's self-protection mechanism caused this Bloodline Limit to form a Curse Mark Mode around your neck..."
Tsunade changed the subject and began discussing Uchiha Yoru's unknown new Bloodline Limit. Especially when speaking of this, a desire for exploration shone in the depths of her eyes.
Bloodline Limit research!
It had never ceased in the Shinobi World. As the strongest practitioner of Medical Ninjutsu in the Shinobi World, Tsunade would be lying if she said she was not tempted after encountering such an unknown research specimen.
