Ninshū Comes to Konoha, Uchiha Nagisa Faces a Crisis

"Man proposes, God disposes." So said the Sage of Six Paths.

Kaguya didn't say much about it; in any case, being able to free herself was a good thing.

Even if the unification plan ultimately fails, once the true threat of the Ōtsutsuki is known, the Shinobi World will always need them someday.

Thanks to Kyosuke's long-term interactions, Kaguya's perspective on issues has changed dramatically.

She is now fearless, and regardless of which side wins, they will need her strength to fight against their enemies in the future.

Well, my combat abilities are indeed a bit lacking.

But I can learn it!

Combat is something you can learn quickly, right?

Lost in Kaguya, Kaguya failed to notice the profound depth hidden beneath Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's calm gaze, a depth that was extremely difficult for outsiders to perceive.

In the tenth year of Konoha, the Uchiha received information that a group of people of unknown origin were secretly contacting the Senju.

Even though he was Hashirama for a long time, Zhu Jian would force himself to go out and greet them despite his physical weakness.

This news has drawn great attention from the Uchiha.

Despite Senju current weakness and growing popularity in the village, the Senju clan, though weakened, is still the strongest Family besides the Uchiha.

Hashirama lives, no one will dare to do anything to the Senju.

In fact, many people hoped that Hashirama Senju would pass away soon.

As a result, he looked like he was about to die the whole time, but he stubbornly held on for several years without letting go.

Uchiha Izuna was utterly speechless at this.

The elder brother and Kyosuke Hashirama as friends, but he never had any intention of repairing his relationship with the Senju.

Konoha is the village of the Uchiha, and that will never change, no matter when or where.

Senju?

However, he was just a defeated foe. If Izuna had been in charge, he would have completely annihilated the enemy on the day of the Battle of the Main Base.

Of course, it's not too late to realize this now.

Now that he's in charge of the Uchiha, he'll let the Senju behave themselves if they want, but if they dare to cause trouble, then he'll implement the "Night of the Massacre" plan ahead of schedule.

If no one else is available, using Genjutsu magic to hypnotize them will also work; that's Izuna's current idea.

"Go and find out what the Senju have been up to lately."

The Police Department is controlled by Senju and appears powerful, but in reality, it does not have much real power.

The truly important department is the Anbu, which is the Uchiha's absolute authority, and is currently managed by Uchiha Chō.

If there is any suspicion that the Senju are acting strangely, there is no need to ask for permission; the Anbu can go directly to investigate and collect evidence.

Izuna wanted to see just how important the person was, to be able to receive a personal greeting from the Hashirama.

Konoha, Southern Commercial Street, a large chain barbecue restaurant.

Congratulations on your graduation!

A group of friends gathered to celebrate Uchiha Nagisa's successful completion of his studies.

At this time, four years had passed since the First Hokage passed away.

The little girl has now grown into a graceful young woman.

With her Ponytail styled in the same bun as her mother, Nagisa swayed her head and proudly flipped the grilled meat for everyone.

"Here you go, Onii-chan~" Her biggest concern is always her brother.

"Tsk tsk." Eri shook her head, waiting for the barbecue to land on her plate.

"..." Nagisa's eyes darted around, and she smiled as she picked up the second piece of grilled meat.

With Eri's expectation, the chopsticks gently passed over the plate and placed it far away into Kurama Jun's bowl.

"Th-thank you." Seeing this, 15-year-old Kurama Jun blushed and softly thanked her.

The child still seemed a little shy.

"She... she didn't give it to Eri first, but gave the grilled meat to me instead..."

"Does that mean that, besides Yuto, I'm the most important one...?"

In fact, aside from battles, Kurama Jun is quite low-key in his daily life.

Well, you could describe it as introverted, and the older they get, the less talkative they become.

In this respect, they were not affected at all by the unreliable teacher.

"Ahem, have you forgotten someone?" Eri reminded him with a smile.

The little guy has many other tricks up his sleeve, but with Eri's skills, he can easily retaliate.

However, considering the harmony of the family, she usually deliberately falls for it so that Nagisa can gain the upper hand in their confrontations.

Maybe in that case... he and I...

Looking at Eri's blissful, silly Eri, a question mark quietly appeared on Nagisa's forehead.

What's wrong with her? She just picked up a piece of grilled meat, why is she so moved?

Could it be that I've been too harsh on myself lately?!

But I was just joking... Uchiha Nagisa inexplicably felt a little guilty.

In the slightly awkward atmosphere, everyone gradually developed a bit of a belly, except for Yuto, whose wallet seemed to have shrunk considerably without anyone noticing.

"Thank you for the treat~" Kurama Jun waved with a smile and walked home alone.

Of the remaining three, Yuto wanted to go train, Eri was naturally willing to accompany him.

As for Little Cutie fresh graduate, she made an appointment with her teammates to go to the training ground later to discuss how to grab the bell.

How popular is Kyosuke in Konoha?

From the moment he created the bell-snatching game, teachers would perform a similar ritual every time a student graduated.

By now, it's almost become an unspoken rule at the Ninja Academy.

Graduation exams are just the beginning; winning the bell means you've truly become a ninja.

Everyone else felt the same way, so naturally Uchiha Nagisa didn't want to lose in the bell game.

To increase her chances of success, she even sought advice from three experienced colleagues.

"Snatch the bell!" Yuto was somewhat lost in thought, seemingly recalling scenes from when his father was still alive.

[As I said, don't shout when you launch a sneak attack.]

[You can't even hold a weapon steady, yet you want to kill someone?]

[I'm giving you this Kusanagi Sword; I hope you can restore its fame throughout the Shinobi World.]

Take good care of Mom and my sister.

She quietly turned her head away, not wanting Yuto to see her tears.

"..." Nagisa instinctively clenched the hem of her clothes, opened her mouth as if to say something, but saw Eri shake her head at her.

"... Then I'll be going now. I'm leaving my brother in your care." Uchiha Nagisa lowered his head and ran away from the scene.

She feared that if she didn't leave soon, she wouldn't be able to control the turbulent emotions within her.

That would only cause her brother to feel guilty, even if she was the one who brought it up.

"Dad." Recalling her father, who always wore a gentle smile, the girl's eyes seemed to well up with tears.

On the other side, Yuto, who had finally recovered his composure, smiled and apologized to his friend. Then the two of them walked together toward the training ground.

Before they even reached their destination, Family ninjas blocked their path.

"Something terrible has happened! Something's happened to Miss Nagisa!"

Yuto, who had just been smiling, suddenly turned grim, his body radiating a chilling Chakra that terrified Eri.

"Take me."

A little earlier, at Konoha Training Ground No. 3.

Bang!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Uchiha Nagisa, who was practicing with his friends, bumped into a tall, middle-aged man.

In fact, she was backing away and had no idea that someone was behind her.

The girl probably never imagined that someone would be secretly observing her cultivation.

This is considered extremely impolite among ninjas.

Ninja battles are a contest of intelligence.

Revealing one's abilities will very likely invite retaliation from the enemy.

Even a group of kids who have just graduated from the Ninja Academy don't want outsiders to spy on their training.

Rubbing the back of his head, which was throbbing slightly, Uchiha Nagisa pouted and glared angrily at the middle-aged man.

Upon seeing this, the other person subconsciously shook their head and said indifferently, "Is this Uchiha Kyosuke's child?"

"He showed no signs of vigilance, exuded no murderous aura, and his hands were probably unstained with blood."

"Such naivety, how can one be called a ninja?"

"I used to think he was someone important, but now it seems he's just average."

"The so-called ninja academy produces nothing but a bunch of useless trash."

He is insulting his father!

Upon hearing the man's words, Uchiha Nagisa instantly lost his innocence, his eyes flashing with a scarlet light, and three jet-black Tomoe slowly swirling within his pupils.

Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

It used to be a standard feature of the strong, but for the Uchiha at this moment, it has become a bloodline power that can be awakened with age.

While Kyosuke certainly played a part in this, Yayoi Hyuga also deserves much credit.

Without her decade-long dedication to research, the Uchiha Clan would not have achieved its current level of progress.

It is worth mentioning that, inspired by the Shadow Clone Training Method, Yayoi created her own "Scientific Research Method" research method.

Simply put, it involves creating Shadow Clone to complete the experimental process.

Ultimately, all knowledge and experience will converge in her mind.

In terms of results, they are much more useful than cultivation, at least they do not cause excessive physical fatigue.

Uchiha Nagisa was already quite talented, so it's only natural that he would awaken the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"Sharingan." The middle-aged man's tone became increasingly angry.

It was fine when she didn't activate her Sharingan she did, it made him subconsciously recall his past battles.

"Interesting. Let me see for myself how much of Indra's bloodline remains."

Seeing their friend being bullied, Nagisa's two companions stepped forward to help.

In less than half a minute, all three of them were beaten to the ground.

The man grabbed the girl's hair and roughly lifted her up, his eyes filled with a ferocious killing intent that made her almost forget the pain.

"My brother died at your father's hands, and I must avenge him."

"This time I'm coming to Konoha, I will personally slaughter the Uchiha Clan, starting with you two siblings."

As he swayed, Nagisa noticed two characters etched on the man's collar.

[Ninja Sect]

What's the meaning?

After the initial shock, the Little Cutie gradually calmed down.

If I didn't mention Konoha, it would be fine, but the thought of being in the village miraculously made the fear disappear from the bottom of my heart.

Nagisa knew that her Family wouldn't let anything happen to her.

"Damn it, let go of Nagisa!"

Sure enough, members of the Family appeared, and they were two of the most powerful guards she remembered.

I heard they used to be some kind of Secret Shinobi, anyway, they were really powerful.

"Well done." The middle-aged man curled his lips into a smile, and a surge of violent Chakra gradually gathered in his palm.

"Let me make a real scene today."
