"Shisui, help take care of Jinghuo."
"You guys have a newborn Jinghuo, you should let me go!" Uchiha Shisui immediately objected.
"Shisui, you are a direct descendant of Uchiha Kagami, and besides..."
Uchiha Shisui followed his gaze and saw the rampaging, maddened Nine-Tailed Demon Fox in front of him.
Fierce flames blazed there, and the faint sound of clashing metal rang out densely, mixed with countless wails and despair.
Anyone could go to help, but the Uchiha Clan couldn't.
Because it was said... the Uchiha Clan could control the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
Logically, the Uchiha Clan should now be honestly staying in the Uchiha Clan Land.
However, the Uchiha needed to make a statement and could no longer allow the Uchiha to be suspected.
At this time when Konoha needed protection, as a relative of Uchiha Kagami, who was trusted by the Hokage high-level, he was the only one in the Uchiha Clan who could stand out.
Moreover, they really didn't want the only sixteen-year-old Uchiha Shisui to rush over and be met with vigilance, ridicule, and gossip.
Therefore, as elders, they entrusted the task of taking care of their newborn child to Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Shisui opened his mouth.
Amidst their smiles, the words choked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
In the end, Uchiha Shisui closed his eyes and suppressed the uneasy throbbing in his heart: "Please be sure to return safely!"
The couple in their early twenties smiled slightly.
Then, they looked at the three-month-old Uchiha Jinghuo in the baby basket, their eyes full of doting love, like the gentlest water in the world, close, careful, and joyful.
"Jinghuo, wait for us to come back." They didn't say these words, but in the smile wrapped in endless love, they reluctantly turned around and faced the terrifying Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that was destroying everything, their expressions quickly becoming firm.
Uchiha Shisui watched their distant backs in silence.
It was as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
Just looking at it made one feel oppressed; an ordinary child with keen senses might have burst into tears.
Uchiha Jinghuo was different; he was a little annoyed.
Because tasks were constantly refreshing in his mind.
[Quest Name: You're the Most Miserable? Gotta Kill Teacher, Kill Mother?] [Quest Content: Kill Uchiha Obito!] [Quest Reward: Immortality + Eight Gates Released Formation + Re-Cell Attraction]
When he first saw the quest reward, Uchiha Jinghuo's eyes lit up, almost making his parents think he had awakened his Sharingan.
It was just a pity that the quest requirements were too high, and Uchiha Jinghuo happily thought he could save it for later.
But he didn't expect the quest reward to change with time.
For example, the initial reward for this quest was... Immortality + Eight Gates Released Formation Array + Re-Cell Attraction.
He estimated that by the time he could kill Uchiha Obito, it was hard to say whether Immortality would even be left in the quest.
This made him a little frustrated.
He was just a newborn, a super human cub who couldn't even crawl or talk, and he was being asked to crawl over and kill Uchiha Obito right now?
Was that reasonable?
He didn't understand.
"Forget it, it looks like a face-slapping system anyway, it'll be fine when I grow up." The three-month-old Uchiha Jinghuo comforted himself, ignoring the tasks that occasionally asked him to kill Shimura Danzō, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu.
But today, the system was going crazy.
It was refreshing frantically every second, and the rewards made his eyes red with envy, wishing he could crawl over and give the quest target a kick, maybe giving them a chance to be trampled to death by the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

"Hurry!"
Under the rapid guidance of Konoha ninjas, the villagers hurriedly ran towards the shelter in terror, away from the terrifying Nine-Tailed Demon Fox behind them.
But two figures went against the flow, leaving the Uchiha Clan Land and moving quickly across the rooftops towards the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
Suddenly, a voice came from the alley.
"You two."
The young couple stopped and looked at the Anbu. They couldn't help but wonder, Anbu? Why would they secretly stop us in an alley?
But trusting the Hokage, they jumped into the alley without hesitation.
The Anbu slowly said, "You two, the Hokage has something he needs your help with..."
The Uchiha man was about to listen to what the other party had to say when he suddenly sensed a sudden, fierce killing intent, and his expression changed drastically.
In a panic, he hurriedly pushed his wife away.
"Qingfeng!" The wife watched as three Anbu short knives pierced her husband's chest, throat, and heart.
The intense pain blurred the man's consciousness. His body twitched, and blood poured from his mouth, staining his chin red.
"Run... hurry..."
He felt the strength in his body rapidly draining away. Every word felt like a knife repeatedly cutting his throat, causing unbearable pain.
But as long as his wife was safe, he didn't care if he died.
As he prayed in his heart that his wife could escape, he saw two masked people pierce her chest with short knives.
The man's face was blank, his mouth trembling slightly, filled with disbelief.
The sound coming from his pierced throat was extremely hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.
"Jing... Ya?"
His heart was cut like a knife, and a crazy killing intent surged in his eyes. Blood vessels burst, turning his eyes red. He seemed to be undergoing some kind of change, causing his eyes to ache abnormally.
But no matter how painful it was, it was not as painful as seeing his wife die tragically before his eyes!
He stared intently at the masks of those people.
Only then did he realize that those masks were not the animal shapes of the Anbu, but more colorful shapes of Gyuuki, snakes, and gods.
This was a mask unique to a certain department in Konoha.
"Root!"
The three-tomoe in his eyes spun wildly, filled with mad hatred. Two lines of tears of blood flowed down.
But no matter how painful it was, it was not as painful as his wife dying tragically before his eyes!
"Root! I will make you pay..."
The next second.
Whoosh--
A cold light flashed, and blood with a fishy smell splattered on the wall.
The man's expression seemed to freeze, without any lifelike appearance.
Those eyes filled with killing intent quickly became dull. As his head fell to the ground, it rolled around.
Finally, it stopped, tilting its head, staring blankly at his lifeless wife, his mouth still opening and closing slightly.
The almost inaudible voice was faint.
"Jing... Jing... Ya..."
