In Konoha, there will always be those who sacrifice themselves, either from the previous generation or the next.

The Sun-Earring Boy before me, sweating profusely and pausing his sword strike, is a perfect example. He is a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, a highly representative member of the many war orphans.

The difference is that most commoner Ninja lead mediocre lives, achieving little throughout their lives.

As for Shisui, he was exceptionally gifted. Needless to say, in the original work, he already displayed extraordinary talent at a young age, earning the great reputation of "Shisui of Instantaneous Movement."

Right now...

With a single strike, the Sun-Earring Boy unleashed a blazing slash that tore through the air, instantly severing several wooden stakes ten meters away. He already displayed a hint of the prowess he displayed when he first mastered the [Water Breathing] technique.

[Notification: Your Believer "Uchiha Shisui" has been detected. "Flame Breathing" has been mastered. "Power of Faith" +10...] Roy tossed him a towel that Mikoto had prepared beforehand, and said indifferently, "I understand."

With just one glance, following the Thread of Causality between himself and Shisui, a [Heart Bug] emerged and looked...

"Squeak~" The Heart Bug crawled deep into Shisui's heart, bringing back a scene... It was a Ninja wearing a cat-face mask, a black bodysuit underneath, and a white overalls, with two short swords clasped behind his back. He was talking to Shisui, repeatedly mentioning his own name, subtly extracting information from Shisui and trying to persuade him to join them, all under the pretext of Konoha... Roy's gaze flickered with a barely perceptible hint of mockery as he recognized the other's identity.

He was controlled by Danzo, and the root of the [Tongue Eradication Curse Mark] was Danzo!

Which member of Root specifically? There are quite a few Root members who are skilled with two short swords, the most famous of whom is Aburame Danzo Aburame Torune's most trusted and relied-upon assistant!

Of course, who it was specifically wasn't important; what mattered was knowing who had given the order. Roy, recalling his less-than-pleasant first encounter with someone in the Hokage's office, turned to Shisui and Itachi and said, "There's a rat behind the tallest tree fifty meters to the right. Which of you will drag it out for me?" Shisui and Itachi were startled, then exchanged a glance, and simultaneously drew their swords, slashing in the direction Roy had indicated!

"Crack!" Two sharp flashes of light sliced through the air, heading straight for the tall bushes hidden beneath the tree... A head emerged from the bushes, the rest of the body, neck buried in the ground. Upon hearing Roy's words about the grave, its expression changed drastically, and it immediately tried to flee... but it never expected... that Shisui and Itachi, at such a young age, would possess such formidable Swordsmanship!

Especially [Shisui], with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and his extraordinary ocular power enhanced, unleashed a swift and precise slash wrapped in flames, abruptly shattering Shisui's attempt to continue spying!

"Damn it! When did the Uchiha produce two such skilled Swordsmanship?!"

The brain silently complained.

A wave of heat hits you, and the sword flashes in an instant!

He simply stopped looking at it.

Its head suddenly tucked downwards, disappearing into the ground in an instant.

But then a loud "BOOM!" was heard.

Shisui's strike landed, blasting through the soil and breaking through the ground, leaving a scorched trench!

"Seventy meters to the west..."

"Didn't hit?" Obito frowned, hearing Roy report the target again.

Taking advantage of his slight moment of hesitation, Itachi sprinted westward, its hind leg brushing against his shoulder.

Obito quickly drew his sword and followed, flanking Itachi on either side as they chased after the small mound of earth that had risen from the ground...

"Swish, swish~" Two more slashes pierced the ground, nearly grazing White Zetsu's body, severing his ears. Terrified, he struggled to escape, inwardly cursing, "Am I Ninja reconnaissance Ninja, or is he?"

"Damn it, how did Uchiha Jin even find me?!"

"Thud. Thud. Thud..." The White Zetsu burrowed into the ground, while Shisui and Itachi chased after him, repeatedly brandishing their swords.

What's even more infuriating is that Roy is constantly calling out his location from behind them... It's as if the other guy has an eye on him, preventing him from going east or west, it's utterly despairing!

"Forty meters to the south..."

"It's turned, thirty meters southeast..."

"Don't stop, stab deeper... He's burrowing downwards again..."

"Whoosh~" Several more blades pierced the ground, taking away one of White Zetsu's feet!

It's Itachi's sword!

Although the Sun-Earring Boy hadn't awakened his Sharingan and his dynamic vision wasn't as good as Shisui's, and his speed was slightly inferior to Shisui's, who was three years older than him, the Sun-Earring Boy's advantage lay in his strong battle intuition!

The instant he noticed that White Zetsu had circled around and was vaguely heading northwest,

With a burst of strength and in desperation, Itachi threw his sword as if it were Shuriken, anticipating White Zetsu's escape route and severing one of his legs!

A bloodcurdling scream rang out!

Shisui whistled past Itachi, shouting, "Well done!"

Then, seizing the opportunity created by Itachi, and taking advantage of the moment when White Zetsu paused in his wailing... "Shisui of the Body Flicker" arrived!

In just a breath,

The Sun-Earring Boy then lunged at White Zetsu with his sword, unleashing a [Flame Breathing; Third Form; Blazing Universe] strike from above, wreathed in surging flames, fiercely plunging into the earth!

Another piercing scream rang out.

Amidst the frantic churning of the ground, Shisui seized the opportunity to deliver a series of over a dozen stabs, finally... bringing it to a halt. As the smoke and dust cleared, the ground cracked open...

A humanoid creature, entirely white with its head tilted and tongue lolling out, appeared... Shisui and Itachi, who arrived shortly after, were clearly taken aback, exchanging bewildered glances... "What, surprised?"

"Step... on the road..." A series of slow footsteps echoed in their ears.

Roy, his black hair swaying in the wind, strolled over unhurriedly. Reaching their side, he suddenly reached out and struck Shisui and Itachi on the back of each with a palm strike... A warm, spring-like Nen instantly invaded their bodies, catching them off guard.

It expelled the white, fluffy spores from their bodies.

"Nii-san, what's this?"

"Siblings, that's also this guy's special ninjutsu," Roy thought to himself, waving his hand to conjure a Fire Release, instantly burning the fluffy material to ashes. Then, looking down at White Zetsu from his high vantage point, he said, "In other words, the enemy... isn't quite dead yet!"

"Uchiha Jin, how did you find me?!" As if to verify Roy's statement, the White Zetsu, knowing he couldn't escape, suddenly widened his eyes and stared intently at Roy.

Shisui and Itachi were about to advance again, swords drawn, when Roy stopped them with a single hand...

"Don't worry, he's not dead, but... he's barely clinging to life."

Roy stared blankly at White Zetsu, showing no intention of paying him any attention. With a flick of his finger, a [Heart Bug] wriggled along the [Thread of Causality] that he had just established with White Zetsu, instantly invading White Zetsu's heart.

"Ding-dong..." The carousel appeared,

On his deathbed, White Zetsu paused in surprise at his grave.

Misty saw that Roy had appeared in his mind without him noticing, standing with his hands behind his back at the edge of his heart, watching his life unfold like a scroll on the sky... White Zetsu couldn't help but shiver, weakly pointing at Roy, and exclaimed in horror, "You can read minds?!" "You're clearly not from the ' Yamanaka Clan,' so why can you read minds?"

"Yes... it's the Sharingan... it must be your Sharingan..."

"Bang!" The revolving lantern shattered.

His heart trembled and shattered. Roy's figure faded, seizing the opportunity to glance at a corner of the painting. Two Great Sun ignited in his pupils with a "whoosh," and he vaguely saw a black shadow...

The shadow stood with its back against a large tree, beneath it.

Half of its body was completely black, and the other half was completely white, just like White Zetsu. It looked at Roy across the [Thread of Causality], and was suddenly startled... It stumbled back two steps and crashed heavily into a tree trunk!

"Uchiha Jin;..." A faint murmur echoed through the rustling green leaves.

Black Zetsu covered his eyes, staring intently at Roy.

The Sun-Earring Boy's expression remained calm as he gradually lost his life force along with the White Zetsu Clone, and then, he faded away...

Before long, consciousness returned, and he Youyou opened his eyes...

"Nii-san, he's dead!"

Chakra completely depleted

Shisui crouched down, checked White Zetsu's breath, and then spoke to Roy.

Roy gave a noncommittal hum, glancing Youyou in a certain direction at the edge of Konoha. If he wasn't mistaken, the large tree where Black Zetsu had been stunned was where Uchiha was clinging to life!

The Sun-Earring Boy withdrew his gaze after a long while, then looked at Itachi again.

Itachi, head bowed and gripping his sword nervously, bowed deeply to him and said, "Nii-san, I was wrong. I shouldn't have dropped the sword..."

Roy didn't say a word, but simply reached out a hand and gently patted the Sun-Earring Boy's head, saying softly, "You did nothing wrong,"

"Didn't Nii-san say that a swordsman's sword is his life, and he must never discard it?"

"Did you lose it?" Roy smiled and patted Itachi's forehead, then casually put his arm around Shisui's shoulder. Looking at the sunlight filtering through the lush forest and casting patches of light on the ground, he said Youyou, "Throwing a sword in a moment of desperation isn't considered discarding it. Itachi... Shisui... get stronger..."

"Nii-san hopes that one day, even when I'm not by your side, you will be able to easily handle the situation we face today..."

"Nii-san, no, I'll always stand by your side!" Shisui looked up at Roy and said firmly.

"Me too," Itachi silently gripped the sword in his hand.

The young Sun-Earring Boy secretly vowed that he would become stronger and stronger, so strong that he could easily kill his enemies without ever needing to throw a knife! The Sun-Earring Boy's heart was sincere and open.

A deep sense of camaraderie emanated naturally from above their heads, emanating from the air above them.

A warm, shallow smile curved Roy's lips. He said nothing more, only saying, "Go practice your swordsmanship."

Shisui and Itachi nodded emphatically. As usual, without Roy's special instructions, they gathered pebbles, filled baskets with them, and began their daily Ten Thousand Swings."

"One hundred... two hundred... one thousand... two thousand..."

The younger brothers were sweating profusely, full of fighting spirit. The older brothers, of course, couldn't fall behind.

Roy found a large tree at the edge of the training ground not far from the two brothers, sat down cross-legged, and immediately immersed himself in the task, channeling his Nen Qi to begin constructing his own Susanoo!

This ninjutsu, based on the Sharingan Mangekyō, is more accurately described as... the manifestation of Chakra, forming a form of Dharma Heaven and Earth. It's similar to Netero's [100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva].

The giant wielding Cape Hammer, drawing Thunder, and shaking the sky that I had seen in my great-grandfather Maha's Unconscious Realm often manifested in different forms due to the differences in each person's Nen Ability or Mangekyō Sharingan abilities.

However, according to Roy's understanding of the original work, Susanoo can be roughly divided into five levels, each with distinctly different forms due to its varying strength.

The first stage of the skeletal form, also the initial state, can only form ribs or arm skeletons, with limited defense, and can barely hold some simple weapons.

Second-stage muscle form: Muscles and meridians cover the skeleton, forming a half-body form, which can perform exclusive ninjutsu such as the Yasaka Magatama and other powerful ninjutsu.

The third-stage armor form: Wearing the Tengu armor, its defense is greatly enhanced, but it consumes a huge amount of Chakra. Itachi demonstrated this in his battle with Sasuke in the original work, and with this, he even killed Orochimaru who was attached to Sasuke's body.

The four-person form generates two legs and a lower body. The user can enter and control the head, increasing mobility and allowing the user to arm the Tailed Beast. In the original work, Madara once used this form to arm the Nine-Tails and fought a great battle with Hashirama at the Valley of the End. His image was later engraved on a statue as a memorial.

The Fifth Complete Form: This is the ultimate form that [Susanoo] can manifest. Not only is it enormous, comparable to a mountain peak, but it can even grow wings on its back, giving it the ability to fly and split mountains. In the original work, only Madara and Sasuke have ever achieved this. Behind this, two of them are also reincarnations of [Indra], which is why they can inherit more [Yin Release] than other Uchiha Clan.

In the blink of an eye,

Roy sat cross-legged under the tree, slowly placing his hands flat on his knees, and began to open his Aura Nodes and circulate his Nen Qi...

"Buzz..." As a crimson hue slowly crept into the Sun-Earring Boy's eyes, three jet-black magatama, shaped like blades, intertwined and rotated, forming a nebula that slowly revolved around the two suns that had ignited with a "whoosh."

Then, a pure, massive, and terrifying [training] suddenly swept out from the center of the Sun-Earring Boy.

Shisui and Itachi, who were practicing their swordsmanship, suddenly shivered. They stopped what they were doing and turned to look...

"Clang... ton..." Suddenly, a blue giant, wreathed in blazing flames, slowly emerged from Roy's body! Its skeleton was clearly visible.

As it stretched out, it completely blocked out the sun in the sky.

He then leaned down to look at Shisui and Itachi as if they were two ants. Two suns suddenly ignited in his empty pupils, far more intense, dazzling, and blinding than the two suns that ignited in Roy's pupils. The moment Shisui and Itachi saw them...

The two men's legs buckled, and they collapsed to the ground, their swords and knives falling from their hands with the cry of "Chang Na."
