Konoha, I'm Fucking Here

It seemed there was a trend toward connection!

During the fusion, the Yang Release chakra did not run wild; instead, it actively guided the seemingly opposing power of Indra, injecting it with boundless vitality.

Refreshing~

His ocular power soared continuously.

At this very moment, a joy originating from his genes surged forth. Uchiha Xiu could clearly perceive every cell in his body leaping with excitement, and his spirit began to fluctuate violently.

Consequently, Naicai and Kobayashi witnessed this scene:

Their captain, sitting cross-legged on the spot, held his forehead with one hand, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably, "Ahahahaha! Hahaha~"

It had arrived—the ancestral Uchiha talent for manic laughter.

His bloodline was truly pure.

At this moment, three pitch-black tomoe suddenly solidified within his blood-red eyes, fine, sharp edges emerging at their borders, as if they were about to split into the complex patterns of a Mangekyo in the next second.

Unfortunately... it was just a hair short.

Before he could hold it for two seconds, the illusory edges shattered.

In the end, due to insufficient Yin Release power, the prototype of the Mangekyo dissipated into nothingness.

"..." Uchiha Xiu could no longer laugh.

Admittedly, he had anticipated this—even if he followed the formula and knew that this reinforcement could achieve a result where one plus one was greater than two, it was still difficult to break through two shackles in one go.

The Mangekyo Sharingan was not that cheap.

For items exchanged with two B-rank side quests, having one foot already inside the door was actually an unexpected delight.

"No rush. The short-term increase in strength is already exaggerated enough; taking it slow is fine too."

"If I return to the Ninja World to settle for a period, perhaps I'll unlock it on my own."

The manic laughter caused by the mental agitation ended. Uchiha Xiu regained his composure and pondered silently:

"As long as I step that other foot in, I'll be in a state similar to Uchiha Obito."

"High total chakra, low ocular power consumption, and a simplified Sage Body that provides powerful regenerative abilities—enough to sustain high-intensity battles and make my performance approach that of an Eternal Mangekyo."

Weak Kage.

Uchiha Xiu stood up from the ground, defining his own combat power as such in his heart.

Once he had settled in sufficiently, pilfered enough high-level ninjutsu and sealing techniques, and rounded out his Wood Release methods... he would definitely be able to secure a firm footing at the Kage level.

His intelligence advantage remained!

Against Jinchuriki, he would land critical hits repeatedly~

He could be called the Tailed Beasts' strictest father.

After all, his Wood Release was inherited from modified Hashirama Cells, slightly atavistic to the Ten-Tails Divine Tree, and possessed the characteristic of devouring Tailed Beast chakra to strengthen himself.

"Main God, list my six dimensions."

East Sea Team Captain Uchiha Xiu, current six-dimensional attributes are as follows--

Intelligence: 395

Mental Power: 1588

Nerve Reflex: 1601

Muscle Strength: 897

Cell Activity: 1227

Immunity: 985

These were static data, not accounting for the explosive power gained from continuously opening the second stage of the Gene Lock.

Due to the East Sea Team being wiped out and reorganized, and the difficulty of the new stage being locked, Uchiha Xiu had not yet encountered an enemy that allowed him to fully enjoy himself.

"If I want to improve my combat intelligence, there are no shortcuts; I must fight more."

His consciousness paused on the intelligence entry, his weakest attribute.

As for the significant increase in attributes like muscle strength and immunity, Uchiha Xiu felt no surprise at all. To use a phrase from Shrouding the Heavens, when Yin and Yang complement each other, one is crowned emperor under heaven.

To a certain extent, the Naruto World leaned quite heavily toward the cultivation genre, possessing Chinese elements such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, Dragon Veins, and immortal lands.

"I shall begin as well." Whispering in his heart, Kobayashi Yoshito was once again guided by the Great Light Sphere of the Main God.

Two C-rank side quests, plus 2,500 reward points, were just enough to advance from Ghost Swordsman to the Soul Bender class.

Scarlet energy burrowed into the sealing chains on his left arm like a living creature; the chains trembled violently, then shattered inch by inch!

"Soul Bender, the summoner among the five Ghost Swordsman professions, is the only existence capable of undoing the seal on the left hand and mastering the power of ghosts and gods."

Kobayashi let out a muffled groan, his body arching from the intense pain. The network of blood vessels beneath the skin of his left arm immediately turned into deep purple veins, spreading across his chest like a spiderweb.

Simultaneously, a cold, massive aura erupted from within his body.

Within the pillar of light from the Main God, a translucent, ghostly purple phantom slowly coalesced behind him—Kalla of Gloom!

It swirled like smoke, its silhouette blurred yet radiating a bone-chilling cold, silently adhering to the surface of Kobayashi Yoshito's body.

"Interesting." Within Uchiha Xiu's scarlet pupils, three tomoe spun rapidly.

Driven by curiosity and his peerless insight, he successfully discerned the state of Kobayashi Yoshito's internal condition.

The violent dark energy that had previously been suppressed was instantly liberated, surging forth to establish a connection with the newborn phantom, continuously emitting a cold and ethereal fluctuation that carried a faint sense of spatial distortion.

"Done."

The light pillar vanished, and Kobayashi was freed from his agony; the tearing, burning pain in his left arm was replaced by a sensation of cold, flowing energy.

Thanks to the passive augmentation of Kalla of Gloom, his body felt exceptionally light, and his perception of the surrounding airflow and energy trajectories became suddenly acute.

"The Main God's description says that from now on, my resistance to the bizarre is significantly increased, including but not limited to attacks from ghosts, spirits, and dark-type curses. It can even negate some physical damage—perhaps I could even tank a bullet?"

"Every so often, I can enter the Shadowless Step state to increase my sprint speed."

Facing the gazes of his captain and the healer, Kobayashi proactively projected a string of text.

[Skill: Kazan of the Blade Soul. Consumes a certain amount of Ghost God power to summon a phantom of the war god Kazan, forming a large orange-red domain.

While the domain persists, the physical attributes and mental power of all friendly reincarnators within range are enhanced, and they gain additional resistance to mental erosion caused by Abyss, Devil, and ghost-type hostile units.

The buff terminates once the domain disappears.]

The symbol of a secondary damage dealer had arrived!

Kalla belongs to the Soul Bender's exclusive buffs, while the augmentation from Kazan of the Blade Soul can be enjoyed by anyone on the team.

"I have over three hundred and ninety reward points left. Twenty points to buy a basic sword manual to self-study Uppercut, Triple Slash, Weapon Block, Mountain Crasher, Cross Slash, and Moonlight Slash..."

"With the addition of Ghost God power, every move is destined to be extraordinary."

"Three hundred and fifty points to have the Main God forge a sharp small katana; the door-sized greatsword is no longer suitable."

Kitagawa Nacai: "..."

The dark aura erupting from this guy, Kobayashi, seemed to be in stark opposition to the light energy within her, yet in reality, they did not clash.

In other words, their respective buffs would not conflict, guaranteeing at least a one-plus-one-equals-two effect.

"Proceed."

Having two supports in his wake, Uchiha Xiu, who prided himself on his good fortune, nodded and withdrew his gaze.

The light pillar lifted the healer into mid-air.

The East Sea Team was moving forward!

Excluding the right-wing extremists, could this team of reincarnators, with their normal mental state, escape their original fate of being crushed in the final battle?

Holy light erupted before their eyes.

Uchiha Xiu pulled back the curtain on the final round of team enhancements, with Kitagawa Nacai finishing it off.

The light outlined her already graceful physique, making her lines appear even more fluid.

Her skin seemed to have been washed by the purest halo, revealing a luster as warm and moist as jade.

—Her features had not changed, yet she seemed endowed with a deeper tranquility and power, a layer of indescribable divine radiance gathering between her brows.

If one were to force Kobayashi Yoshito to describe it, she was perhaps a saintess who had stepped out of a Western cathedral mural, bearing faith and mission.

Holy Purification, mastered!

Weapon Block, mastered!

Nacai did not know why, as both were job advancements, her partner Kobayashi Yoshito had to pay two C-rank side quests, while she only needed one.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Main God, healers were considered the weaker version compared to Soul Benders?

Uchiha Xiu, however, knew the answer:

The Great Light Sphere was an old master of double standards.

Giving a discount was not excessive.

Some exchange items were only open to specific reincarnators; that was what truly destroyed fairness.

One had to beg the Main God for a meal.

Of course, talking about fairness in this insect-rearing pit was a joke in itself.

"The last D-rank side quest, plus eight hundred reward points, to exchange for a heavy armor set that comes with a cross."

With a flick of his will, a major transformation occurred on the healer's body once more.

Her slender and graceful figure was tightly wrapped in armor, a wooden-grained cross nearly as tall as a person strapped to her back, with only her flawless face and gentle peach-blossom eyes left exposed.

Her ear-length short hair emitted a faint, holy white light.

[Life Heavy Armor]

[Magic Legend-tier light armor set, including breastplate, bracers, greaves, combat boots, and a large wooden-grained cross.

Crafted from the ancient Tree of Life in a pan-fantasy worldview, its physical defense is equivalent to military-grade level four ballistic plates.]

When the wearer moves, pale green vine patterns emerge on the surface of the armor, continuously absorbing trace amounts of natural energy from the environment to slightly increase stamina recovery speed and alleviate fatigue.

When the wearer's life is threatened, a protective shield is automatically triggered, limited to ten uses...]

"The reason it's three hundred points more expensive than the protective jade pendant is because it includes a weapon, right?" Uchiha Xiu looked at the wood-grained large cross Naicai was leaning on.

It was 1.5 meters tall, a standard large blunt weapon.

"It comes with a Nature Prayer skill. When I plant the cross into the ground, it releases a Restoration Field with a ten-meter radius that lasts for thirty seconds, significantly increasing the wound healing speed of friendly units."

Naicai explained gently, "It's limited to 3 uses per horror movie..."

"Good, you two go to your private space to practice."

"I am going to the Naruto World alone for a while."

The Ninja World is full of turbulent waves; the two team members currently cannot handle it, and Uchiha Xiu's plan has no use for them.

Having more people would only be a burden.

--It is hard to explain the sudden appearance of two undocumented people in the Uchiha compound, and it might even attract the attention of the village.

--That old dog Danzo is so paranoid he would want the Anbu to investigate even the litter of a neighbor's dog.

"Besides, how is the timeline calculated for the first return to Naruto? It can't jump to after the Night of the Massacre, or how would I stop the tragedy from breaking out!"

"I still need to find a safety net, just in case."

"If a major, open conflict breaks out, I really can't beat the Third Hokage, who has aged into a skinny monkey, plus the Anbu."

After checking on his teammates' movements and getting a feel for the East Sea Team's current configuration, Uchiha Xiu scanned the list. An interesting item caught his eye, and the corresponding scene already surfaced in his mind.

[You are too arrogant, Ukitake...]

[No one has stood in the heavens from the beginning. Neither you, nor I, not even the gods. But the unbearable window of time for this throne of heaven is about to end.]

[From now on, I will stand at the top! Goodbye, you Shinigami, goodbye, little Ryoka. As a human, you were truly quite interesting...]

[Bankai: Hair Gel Hand!]

One-time item: Negacion.

Originating from the Bleach Universe, the inside and outside of the light are two mutually isolated worlds. Once a target is surrounded by this light, they are effectively in another space. Entities outside the Negacion can no longer touch anything inside...

Note: If a space-type skill wishes to break through, its authority must surpass that of the Negacion.

Once redeemed, Uchiha Xiu can pre-mark any area. When encountering a fatal threat with no way back, he can trigger it at will to open a teleportation light shield that cannot be blocked, locked, or spied upon, arriving regardless of distance.

Out of caution, Uchiha Xiu asked in his heart:

"Main God, the top-tier space-type dojutsu at the Six Paths Level threshold—yes, Kamui—can it ignore this?"

Captain authority activated.

The Great Light Sphere replied instantly with a formulaic thought:

"Dojutsu ineffective."

"Assuming I encounter top-tier sealing techniques and am in a restrained state, with my chakra and ocular power exhausted, if I trigger the Negacion with my thoughts, will it break the desperate situation?"

"Yes."

Then, the conclusion is reached—

"A show-off version of Kamui."

"A life-saving item for a calm escape during a desperate situation, and it doesn't limit it to one person; it will pack up everything within five meters of me, teleporting the existences I acknowledge along with me."

After giving a pertinent evaluation, Uchiha Xiu decisively paid one C-rank side quest and an additional two thousand points.

Remaining: one C-rank side quest and over ten thousand points.

Must continue to dismantle.

The first time opening a world with log records requires paying one D-rank side quest.

"Going back for thirty days to test the waters; the reward points can support half a year of living."

"This thing is too rampant."

A few minutes later.

The light of teleportation descended!

Amidst the shifting thoughts of being half-dreaming and half-awake, the square transformed into other blurry scenes.

Konoha Ninja Village!

Calling it a village, it is more like a large town. There are various terrains in the surroundings, the architecture is antique, and while there aren't many tall buildings, it is by no means backward; electrical facilities can be seen everywhere, and the roads are quite spacious.

Uchiha Xiu's house, a detached building with a courtyard.

The thick, sturdy tree is lush and green, its leaves chopping up the sunlight and scattering it in a mottled pattern into the second-floor computer room. The scent of the neighbor's breakfast drifts with the wind, full of the atmosphere of daily life.

When he was last in the Main God Space, it was breakfast time.

"Only one second passed?"

Glancing at the time box in the bottom right corner of the computer, the corners of Uchiha Xiu's mouth curled upward.

How wonderful!

"Time to go find Elder Shin of the moderate faction and farm some gold, time to seriously beef up my skill pool~"

"In the Warring States period before the founding of Konoha, the Uchiha were the only clan capable of standing toe-to-toe with Senju Hashirama; they likely possess scrolls for Wood Release ninjutsu."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Closing the newly created folder, Uchiha Xiu used Body Flicker to leap out the window.

I'm not writing about Young Obito anymore.

Making money? I have other ways.

Gold is one of the hard currencies in the Ninja World, and coincidentally, that stuff is worth about as much as a rock in the Main God Space, sold by the cubic meter.

Uchiha Xiu exchanged five tons in one go; the Ninja Cat Clan, who have their own connections to arms dealers, will most likely be able to take it off his hands!

"Morning, Xiu."

"Morning, Brother Yuto."

Walking down the street, Uchiha Xiu, who once felt panicked inside, was far more composed now.

A short while later.

A courtyard covering about two acres appeared before his eyes.

"Is that you, Xiu? Come on in."

"I heard you're promoting to squad-leading Chunin next week and might have an assessment, so you're here to learn new ninjutsu, right?"

An aged voice drifted out from within the courtyard.
