Camp the Southern Border Army camp, Kyosuke was still lying there, drowsy and resting.
Outside the Tent, two tribesmen lamented the difficulty of the battle.
"Ah, thanks to Lord Kyosuke, otherwise the enemy would never have retreated so quickly."
"Yes, the master is still recovering from serious injuries, but he specially mustered his strength to go to the battlefield."
"Ha, but I must say, it really worked! Those guys were practically scared out of their wits."
"Unfortunately, the adult's injuries have become even more serious."
The two spoke in hushed tones, almost like whispering.
However, it still reached the ears of those who were interested.
"So that's how it is." Deep underground, a figure that had been lurking for a long time couldn't help but laugh strangely, "Hehehe, I was wondering why your injuries healed so quickly, you were just putting on an act."
"The Mangekyō is powerful, but using it like this is tantamount to suicide."
"Since you're going to die sooner or later anyway, why don't I grant your wish?"
Soon, the figure appeared in Kyosuke's resting Tent, silently and without the guards nearby noticing.
Just as the pale arm was about to touch its target, Kyosuke, who had been lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, Chidori Sharp Spear directly penetrated the attacker's body.
"I've finally waited for you."
"You!" The White Zetsu Clone stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief. "Impossible! Your injuries should have been severe. How could you have recovered so quickly?"
Others may not understand, but as Black Zetsu's partner, White Zetsu, who was born in ancient times, surely understands the power and side effects of the Sharingan.
In its view, even if Kyosuke went blind on the spot, his pupil power would certainly be greatly reduced, and it would be normal for him to lie in bed for ten days or half a month.
How could it be like this, where someone actually faked being seriously injured to ambush me?
"Can't figure it out, idiot." Kyosuke spat out a curse as he stared at the White Zetsu before him.
That's right. In fact, his injuries had long since healed. He went to the battlefield hoping to lure the enemy general into attacking him.
To everyone's surprise, those guys weren't fooled and readily announced their withdrawal.
Left with no other choice, he had to change his target and see if he could outmaneuver Black Zetsu, that Millennium Old Six.
"Impossible, who exactly are you..." The White Zetsu Clone remained in shock.
After frowning and asking a few questions carefully, Kyosuke gradually lost patience and decided to use Genjutsu to force it to reveal the truth.
Just as he was about to probe into the memories, Kyosuke's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly retreated from the Tent, not forgetting to help the two guards at the door.
Then he saw White Zetsu explode on the spot, just like a balloon.
"... It even has a self-destruct function. Black Zetsu, you really are cunning to the core."
"Oh, I forgot, you don't seem to have any bones."
With the Old Six's plans failing one after another, Kyosuke was quite frustrated.
After comforting the two shaken guards, he chose another Tent and lay down to rest.
In fact, White Zetsu's guess was correct; normally, he should still be in a state of serious injury.
The reason he's so lively and energetic, seemingly having recovered almost completely, is actually due to another item Kyosuke exchanged.
Basic Sage Body, priced at 20,000 Points.
Killing Watanabe Kaoru brought his Points to 13,000 points, and the Explosive Tag battle in the rainy night added another 7,000 points to his gains.
All things considered, it's just enough to complete the exchange for the Basic Sage Body.
Beginner level requires 20,000 Points, intermediate level requires 50,000 Points, advanced level requires 100,000 Points, and the ultimate level requires a full 200,000 Points.
Unlike other exchanges, the Sage Body cannot be obtained in one step; you must start from the beginner level and gradually improve.
It could be said that Kyosuke is currently roughly equivalent to Naruto in his younger days.
The surge in Chakra levels and the significant increase in the body's self-healing speed do not provide any noticeable boost to physical strength or speed.
His injuries have recovered to 60%, mainly thanks to the effects of the Sage Body; otherwise, it would be questionable whether he could even get out of bed.
Name: Uchiha Kyosuke
Age: 11 years old
Physical Strength: Jonin (Peak)
Mental Strength: Elite Jonin (Early Stage)
Chakra level: Kage Level (early stage)
Mastery of skills: (omitted)
Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan (Mangekyō), Sage Body (Beginner)
Activating the Sage Body caused his Chakra reserves to surge to levels comparable to those of Kage Level powerhouse.
If the Cursed Seal mode is activated, the Chakra will continue to increase, potentially reaching the level of mid -Kage Level.
Once someone's strength advances to the Kage Level, even if they are at the same level, the difference in power can be like heaven and earth.
At the levels of Super Kage and Six Paths Level, the gap widens even more significantly, potentially resulting in a crushing defeat.
Regardless, it's always a good thing to increase one's strength, but the fact that he still has a lingering unease about his Jonin- level physical strength is something he's been holding onto.
Before activating his Sage Body, Kyosuke's physical strength had been Jonin at the level of a newly promoted Jonin for over a year.
It has now leaped to the top, making great progress, but there is still a significant gap compared to the other two.
"Sigh, it's all the fault of the younger kids, don't blame me."
Of course, these are the visible improvements. The most useful thing to him is not the increase in Chakra, but the nourishing effect of the Sage Body on the Sharingan.
The exchange was successfully completed, and the ever-decreasing upper limit of eye power finally stopped.
As he gradually became familiar with his body's energy, Kyosuke was pleasantly surprised to find that the upper limit of his Mangekyō's power had actually begun to slowly rise.
The speed was incredibly slow, but it also meant that he was no longer worried about going blind.
In short, exchanging for the Sage Body was definitely worth it.
The combined power of the Uchiha and Senju represents the truly strongest bloodline in the Hokage world.
Looking up at the snowflakes falling outside, Kyosuke knew that winter had arrived once again.
"Judging by the time, it's been almost five years since I came to the Hokage world."
Many times, Kyosuke felt that his past life was like a dream.
Apart from memories of the plot, everything else began to fade.
Life in peacetime can never compare to the sword fights and bloodshed of the Shinobi World.
It should take a few more days for his injuries to heal completely.
It was just that he couldn't outwit Old Black Zetsu, which was ultimately one of his regrets.
"Once this matter is settled, we will begin developing Yin-Yang Release Chakra."
"Once I have this Black Rods in my hand, I'll show you what real fear is."
Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Kyosuke, who was focused on the Main Battlefield, did not delay. He simply greeted Elder Rei Uchiha and set off.
Meanwhile, Tajima began his Decapitation Plan.
Because of his distrust of the Senju, he did not choose to bring the Hashirama brothers along.
In fact, if it weren't for Madara's desperate dissuasion, Tajima would have already secretly plotted to harm the young Senju Clan Heir.
He could tolerate everything else, but Tajima couldn't accept anyone surpassing his two sons.
Whether it was Kyosuke or Hashirama, both of them were thorns in his side.
Therefore, when Kyosuke returned, he saw the Hashirama brothers being isolated by the entire Uchiha Hashirama.
