New Sign-In Reward

Since participating in the war, Uchiha Itachi had completely lost faith in his clan. He saw the Uchiha clan's increasingly twisted obsession and understood the Konoha higher-ups' growing hostility towards the clan.

Uchiha Obito took advantage of the situation and, together with him, planned the clan extermination that was destined to shake the entire Ninja World.

Unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi's sudden defection caused Obito to lose his only trustworthy inside contact within the clan.

Thus, Obito's gaze fell upon another Jonin of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Rekka. He "successfully" persuaded Rekka with his personal charm.

"Complete this judgment."

Obito disappeared into the distorted space with a cold laugh, full of confidence.

However, Obito did not know that his plan was no longer a secret.

During the day, Uchiha Rei had already informed Uchiha Rekka of the intelligence he possessed. This included Obito's secret cooperation with "Root," the Third Hokage's silent acquiescence, and Danzo's machinations behind the scenes. Rekka had everything under control.

Watching Obito leave, Rekka's eyes flashed with cold light in the darkness.

"The plan's time is set. Lord Rei's mission is complete."

Without a moment's delay, Rekka immediately activated the samurai sword in his hand, transmitting this crucial message to Uchiha Rei.

Several hours earlier.

Konohagakure, on the other side, the night was deep. The footsteps of the patrol team echoed in the empty streets, yet they failed to detect a certain figure.

Uchiha Rei quietly departed from the Kurama Clan's residence. He had not chosen to stay the night there.

Today, he had already arranged to meet Might Guy at the public training grounds at precisely midnight.

What's more interesting than lifting weights? Uchiha Rei thought silently, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

At this moment, Uchiha Rei was already a top-tier powerhouse in Konoha. His aura was perfectly concealed, and the patrolling ninjas couldn't detect him passing by them.

When he arrived at the Konoha public training grounds, it was exactly 11:50 PM. The night was deep, but a green figure was already present on the training grounds, appearing in the night breeze. It was Might Guy, who was practicing Taijutsu at night.

He really arrived earlier than me... Uchiha Rei looked at the familiar back from afar, secretly admiring him.

"Uchiha Rei, my youthful friend!" Might Guy suddenly stopped his movements, his eyes shining, and ran over, hugging Uchiha Rei tightly. "I never expected you to be this kind of person!"

"What kind of person am I?" Uchiha Rei was slightly stunned, thinking the other party had discovered his secret.

"You persisting in practicing Taijutsu while injured is so manly! You truly are my lifelong rival!" Might Guy said with burning passion, hugging Uchiha Rei tightly with emotion.

Uchiha Rei fell silent.

So you had no idea about the Phantom Seal sealed within me, you're just genuinely passionate... Damn it, you made me misjudge the intelligence level for a moment.

"Youth's time is precious, let's start training," Uchiha Rei said helplessly, prying apart Might Guy's arms.

"Well said!" Might Guy gave a thumbs-up, revealing his classic, perfectly angled sunny smile.

The two began running laps on the training ground, the air filled with the rhythm of sweat and breathing intermingling.

The twelve o'clock bell chimed softly, and a familiar system prompt sounded in Uchiha Rei's ear.

[Ding!]

[Sign-in successful!]

[Sign-in location: Konohagakure Public Training Ground!]

[Reward: Konoha Style Taijutsu - Konoha Great Whirlwind!]

[Note: This sign-in location can be signed in at repeatedly!]

Instantly, a warm power surged from his calves, rapidly spreading to all the muscles in his body. His leg strength was significantly enhanced, and his muscle definition became tighter and more powerful. He silently clenched his fist, feeling the increase in strength.

The movements, angles of attack, force application, and center of gravity shifts of this technique automatically appeared in his mind, all precisely imprinted into his memory.

Why is it his taijutsu again? Am I really fated to be with this guy?

A helpless bitter smile flickered in his heart.

But... it's really effective.

If I encountered that Root Captain from yesterday again, I wouldn't even need to release the Phantom Seal. One strike would be enough to defeat him.

Without overthinking, he continued to immerse himself in training.

The next training session was a hellish sparring match: one hundred push-ups, two hundred laps of the field while doing a handstand. Regardless of victory or defeat, both would train.

Might Guy: "If you lose, you add one hundred push-ups!"

Uchiha Rei: "If you win, you run two hundred laps on your hands."

They refused to yield to each other, gritting their teeth and persevering. Sweat poured down, and deep indentations were carved into the dirt of the training ground by their feet.

Every fall was proof of youth; every time they gritted their teeth and got back up, it was the will of youth.

Finally, Uchiha Rei's legs grew sore, and training ended.

Uchiha Rei was currently in a rest period and did not need to undertake missions.

Might Guy, however, was different. In addition to his daily unwavering taijutsu practice, he also had to take on consecutive missions, rushing day and night.

"With the Uchiha Clan on the verge of rebellion, many people have stopped pledging loyalty to Konoha," Might Guy said, tidying his forehead protector, his tone unusually heavy. "The mission load has almost entirely fallen on other ninjas, especially us Jonin. We must maintain order within the village while also completing missions assigned by the Land of Fire."

Uchiha Rei nodded silently. He understood that under these circumstances, even a Jonin like Might Guy was under double the pressure, his mind and body both being pushed to their limits.

But Might Guy didn't rush to leave. He walked up to Uchiha Rei and spoke in a low, yet firm tone.

"Rei, we've been helping you search for Lady Tsunade. Believe me, you'll be alright."

Hearing this, Uchiha Rei paused for a moment, then replied softly, "Thank you, everyone."

Might Guy looked at him and suddenly said, "Do you remember Shizune?"

"Shizune?" Uchiha Rei blinked, a figure appearing in his mind. Black hair, gentle, calm, and soft. She was Tsunade's apprentice, and when they were younger at the Ninja Academy, she had even confessed her feelings to him.

Back in the Ninja Academy, too many female ninjas had confessed to him, he couldn't remember who was who. But those who hadn't confessed, he remembered them all clearly.

"Too many female ninjas were chasing me back then," Uchiha Rei's lips curved up, a smile tinged with helplessness. "But I'm not Asuma, I don't have the leisure for that. Training Ninjutsu is much more interesting than chasing women."

Might Guy smiled and continued, "Kurenai Yuhi has already contacted them. Lady Tsunade will be back soon, probably in three to five days."

"...That's truly good news." Uchiha Rei's eyes flickered, his gaze drifting towards the distant horizon, the oppression in his heart seemingly lifting slightly.

Tsunade, Konoha's legendary Medical Ninja, one of the Sannin.

Everyone in the world of Naruto knew that as long as there was still a breath left, there was no one Tsunade couldn't save.

"Her healing power is unmatched," Uchiha Rei murmured in admiration. Once Tsunade returned, the poison in his body should finally come to an end.

If even Tsunade couldn't clear the poison from his body, then he would have to embark on another path.

Seeking the legendary "Sage Body" and "Sage Eye."
