The Clan Leader had already shown mercy, so Uchiha Chō naturally wouldn't draw her sword and attack.
Feeling the sharp pain in her left arm, she gritted her teeth and kicked Ban hard in the chest.
"Hmph." As if sensing something, Madara Uchiha sneered and raised his hand, easily blocking the woman's attack.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is obvious.
Affected by the recoil, the butterfly's body paused almost imperceptibly. In a battle between experts, it is precisely for those fleeting opportunities that one fights with.
Imitating a woman's manner, Ban raised a foot and came hurtling towards her.
If it hits successfully, the fate of the Uchiha Chō will probably be no different from that of Deva Path Pain, who was killed by Sage Naruto.
At the critical moment, Madara suddenly staggered, and the ground beneath his feet strangely collapsed.
"The ground collapsed?!"
With his body affected, his Certain Victory attack naturally missed its mark.
Ignoring the woman who looked terrified, Ban frowned and examined the ground beneath his feet, a variety of thoughts flashing through his mind.
Was it a coincidence?
"No, two accidents happening in such a short period of time cannot possibly be accidents."
"So it was an ambush she set up beforehand... No, my actions were just accidental."
Suddenly, a scene from before flashed into my mind.
Before turning into the alley, the woman touched the ground and walls several times, which was unusual and most likely what happened then.
Staring at those bright Mangekyō, Madara asked in a deep voice, "Is this your ability?"
"Guess?" Butterfly blinked, clearly not intending to answer the question directly.
Madara didn't seem to care much about this.
Even as the Clan Leader, he could not force a clansman to reveal the secret of his abilities.
"That's interesting." By now he could see that the woman wasn't particularly panicked.
That means my previous idea was probably wrong.
Could it be that Kyosuke took her under his wing because he knew she had successfully awakened her eyes?
Considering her identity as a woman, the death of Uchiha Kei, and the conditions for awakening the Mangekyō, a bold idea suddenly surfaced in her mind.
"I see, no wonder..."
By combining several conditions, Ban quickly pieced together the truth.
"You're Kyosuke's man," he asked directly.
"... Hmm." Uchiha Chō shyly, looking as if she was too embarrassed to answer.
With a silent sigh, the Dance King closed his Sharingan, seemingly deciding not to continue.
Seeing this, Die stopped her acting and bowed respectfully, saying softly, "Clan Leader, may I ask you for some pointers on how to use the Mangekyō?"
Upon learning that the woman's identity was legitimate, Ban's attitude immediately changed drastically.
He was even delighted that his clan had gained another user of the Mangekyō.
Seeing that she wanted to ask for guidance, Ban, as the Clan Leader, naturally wouldn't refuse.
"This place isn't suitable; let's go to the Training Ground to the South."
"Yes."
"By the way, didn't Kyosuke give you any guidance?"
"My lord has been away from home for a long time, and I have not yet had the opportunity to receive his favor."
"Not yet... There's no chance yet..." Madara Uchiha a deep breath and decided to ignore Kyosuke's family's mess.
Training Ground.
The woman gently crouched down and touched the solid floor with her hand.
In order to enable the clansmen to train better, the Training Ground was made of the hardest mineral in the Shinobi World.
Ordinary Fire Release Ninjutsu wouldn't even be able to damage it, let alone leave a mark; that would be considered a sign of exceptional skill from the caster.
But shortly after she made contact, the arena suddenly began to shake, and a deep pit with a diameter of over three meters collapsed in the center.
"... Your Dojutsu, it wasn't created for infrastructure construction, was it?" Madara muttered to himself.
"Of course not." Butterfly walked over with a smile, gesturing for the Clan Leader to hand her his sword.
"The reason it collapsed was not because I tampered with it, but because that's how it was supposed to be."
As she spoke, she lightly flicked Ban's sword with her finger.
The very next second, the sword, constructed from Superconducting Chakra Metal, snapped in two.
"I can change the original, predetermined reality of an object through touch."
"The ring, like a sword, isn't weak because it's not sturdy enough, but because I rewrote the 'reality' they were in when they were created."
Uchiha Chō's right Dojutsu is to rewrite the physical rules of things through touch.
Simply put, she can forcibly change existing things according to her own ideas.
For example, the area beneath the arena was originally solid, but through her rewriting, it's as if a deep pit was dug beneath it beforehand during construction.
"... I see, a truly remarkable Dojutsu." While saying this, Madara's gaze remained fixed on the broken sword.
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household; Madara Uchiha used to have almost no concept of money.
Since becoming the Clan Leader of the Uchiha, he has been receiving letters from officials in various places every day, either asking for supplies or directly asking for money.
Many times, he fantasized that it would be great if his Dojutsu could generate money.
"I'll make him pay for this when he gets back." Madara couldn't bear to make things difficult for a subordinate, so he put the blame on Kyosuke.
"As for my other Dojutsu, it also requires touch to activate."
She gently patted the Clan Leader's arm, and with a flash of light in her left eye, Uchiha Chō ran far away to the other end of the arena.
Seeing this, Madara maintained his arrogant, overbearing posture with his arms crossed.
He appeared unusually calm, but was actually panicking inside.
This woman's Dojutsu is so bizarre; heaven knows what her other ability is.
He waited and waited, but the unexpected event never occurred.
"Did the spell fail?" Just as he was wondering, a clump of bird droppings falling from a hundred meters in the air was heading straight for his head.
"..." Madara took a deep breath. Even the renowned Dance King of the Land of Fire had to retreat in the face of scattered bird droppings.
He leaped backward with force, easily retreating four or five meters.
Unexpectedly, the moment Ban's foot touched the ground, large-scale cracks appeared on the surrounding arena.
"Is it because of the deep pit in the middle?" Madara twisted his waist forcefully, and his whole body spun and flew out sideways.
His posture was very elegant, but both of them knew that if they were facing an opponent of equal skill, two unexpected mistakes could have very serious consequences.
Butterfly smiled slightly, seemingly quite pleased with Madara Uchiha's embarrassment.
You're the one doing infrastructure construction? Your whole family is doing infrastructure construction.
"This is my second ability: to absorb other people's luck through touch."
Bad luck... Madara pondered for a few seconds, unsure how to evaluate this bizarre Dojutsu.
It feels amazing, but upon closer reflection, I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so amazing.
"Never mind, let's teach her the basic usage skills instead."
Slightly finding the situation tricky, Madara decided to skip over the Dojutsu and begin to explain in detail how to conserve eye power and how to awaken Susanoo.
Uchiha Chō listened intently, quickly absorbing the hard-won, valuable knowledge.
After the lesson ended, seeing the woman's lingering enthusiasm, Ban paused and suddenly extended an invitation. "Now is a time when we need capable people. Would you be willing to become a legion Army Commander leading a region?"
"Me?" Butterfly smiled slightly, seemingly forgetting the agreement she had made with Lord Kyosuke.
If I became the Army Commander, I probably could help you even better, right?
