Kurenai Doesn't Like You

Sarutobi Asuma rushed out the door and ran anxiously toward the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Through surveillance, Shimura Danzō saw the dejected Sarutobi Asuma. The displeasure on his face deepened as he said disdainfully, "Can someone like that really make Konoha strong again? Only if I become the Fifth Hokage can Konoha rise again."

A Root ninja beside him heard Danzo's words and said seriously, "Only under Lord Danzo's leadership can Konoha become strong again. Why don't we just kill Sarutobi Asuma? Then Lord Danzo will have one less rival."

Danzo's expression darkened. "Don't touch him yet. He's Hiruzen's last son. If Asuma dies, that hypocrite Hiruzen will lose his mind."

Danzo recalled again, "If I had raised my hand back then and volunteered to stay behind as rearguard, I would have become the Third Hokage. That hypocrite Hiruzen was better suited to lead Root than I was. It was all because cowardly Hiruzen competed with me."

Everyone knew the purpose of Root was to create villains in the ninja world. Half of all fallen villains could be credited to Danzo.

Urgent knocking rang out at the Uchiha Clan Compound. Knock, knock, knock!

A patrolling guard immediately went to the gate. Seeing Sarutobi Asuma outside, he asked, "This is the Uchiha Clan Compound. What business do you have here?"

Sarutobi Asuma said anxiously, "I want to see Kurenai. Open the gate."

The guard immediately replied, "Please wait a moment. I'll notify the Clan Head at once."

Inside the clan head's office, Qingcheng, Kurenai Yuhi, and Sasuke were eating an extremely spicy hotpot. Kurenai picked up a slice of wagyu with her chopsticks, dipped it in sauce, and put it into her mouth.

Kurenai praised him with a satisfied expression, "Qingcheng-kun, you really are a genius. You actually invented such delicious food."

Qingcheng watched Kurenai's cherry-red lips. Even the way she blew on a beef roll was adorable. He thought to himself, If I drill into that, I'll definitely soar to heaven.

Qingcheng estimated that in another three days, he would receive Uchiha Mirai's reward. He had nearly awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, but because Kurenai had shouted at that moment, his breakthrough had ultimately failed. He was still at the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

However, his Three-Tomoe Sharingan already possessed ocular power. It was far stronger than the Two-Tomoe Sharingan. Combined with his immense spiritual power and his understanding of genjutsu, he could easily ambush and kill an ordinary jonin.

Although he did not know what abilities his Mangekyo would have, Qingcheng most wanted spatial power in his left eye and time power in his right. That way, when he faced any visitors from beyond the heavens or the Otsutsuki Clan in the future, he would not be so passive.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan could also cast Izanagi. Qingcheng had not found the ninjutsu for Izanami among the Uchiha Clan's Ninjutsu Scrolls. He had not even seen Izanagi.

Qingcheng thought to himself, It's obvious Danzo swallowed them up. If the Uchiha Clan used techniques like these, they wouldn't even need hand seals.

Qingcheng had another problem. Even if he awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, he would not dare use it recklessly. Once his ocular power declined, he would gradually go blind. Without the Mangekyo of a close blood relative, he could not obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Qingcheng came up with only two methods. One was to find Uchiha Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan and alter his own bloodline by transplanting a little of Uchiha Sasuke's blood.

Or he could alter Fugaku's bloodline, using his own blood to nourish Fugaku's Mangekyo Sharingan. After waiting one or two years, Fugaku's eyes would no longer reject him.

Qingcheng thought to himself, Then I'll transplant Fugaku's Mangekyo, fuse it directly, and evolve it into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

Qingcheng calculated, "As for Obito's and Shisui's Sharingan, neither would be easy to obtain. Shisui's right eye was stolen by Danzo and implanted into his own right eye, while his left eye is in Uchiha Itachi's hands. Shisui and I aren't relatives, so even if I took them back, they would be useless.

The second plan is to use my father, Uchiha Yongcheng's Sharingan. I'll nurture it first. Once I awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, I'll awaken my father's Sharingan as well. He has the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and is only one step away from awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Thinking of this, Qingcheng thought to himself, I need to go home next time. There's a hidden compartment in my house. If Father's Sharingan is still there, I can carry out the second plan.

The last method was to transplant Hashirama Cells. Though the Mangekyo would be ordinary and have limited ocular power, Hashirama Cells could replenish ocular power, so he could use it freely without going blind.

Qingcheng thought to himself, I need to visit Root next time. There are Hashirama Cells there. Even using a little would benefit me for life.

For the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to become the Rinnegan, Hashirama Cells were necessary. As a member of the Uchiha Clan, Qingcheng already possessed Indra's bloodline. Sasuke also carried Indra's Chakra.

The necessary conditions for awakening the Rinnegan were the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Asura's cells, and Indra's Chakra. Only after they fused together could the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan evolve into the Rinnegan.

Thinking of this, Qingcheng thought to himself, I still need to drill Tsunade. That's the only way I can increase my strength quickly, gain the power to kill Danzo, and reclaim the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan.

Qingcheng picked up a piece of beef brisket, dipped it in chili oil, and put it straight into his mouth.

With the steaming hotpot and the rising vapor, both Kurenai and Sasuke ate happily.

Just then, Yamahuku walked in and said seriously, "Clan Head, Sarutobi Asuma has arrived. He wants to see Lady Kurenai Yuhi, so I had him wait outside the gate."

Kurenai looked at the smiling Qingcheng and said softly, "I don't want to see him. Can you send him away?"

Qingcheng looked at how strongly Kurenai rejected Sarutobi Asuma and thought to himself, I have the Invincible Wind Fire Wheel. Sarutobi Asuma, what do you have to compete with me? Are we even in the same league?

Asuma's shout came from the gate. "Kurenai, I have something to say! Come out and see me! I want to explain!"

Kurenai had already lost her appetite. Qingcheng quickly comforted her, "Kurenai, keep eating. Eat a little more. I'll go deal with that annoying clingy pest."

With that, Uchiha Qingcheng stood up, straightened his Feather God Robe, and left Kurenai with a handsome back view.

Uchiha Sasuke said furiously, "Sarutobi Asuma, you actually dared cause trouble for my Uchiha Clan. Just wait. I definitely won't let you off. Everyone who bullied Brother Qingcheng deserves to go to hell."

Qingcheng walked to the gate and had the guards open it. With a click, the Uchiha gate swung open.

Sarutobi Asuma looked at the tall and handsome Uchiha Qingcheng, his brows tightly furrowed. Especially when he saw Qingcheng's fluffy center-parted hair, he felt that Qingcheng was the very embodiment of handsomeness in the ninja world.

Qingcheng sneered and shouted, "Why has the future Fifth Hokage come running over here? I don't remember our Uchiha Clan having any ninjas."

Asuma saw that he had been utterly crushed by Uchiha Qingcheng in looks. He had no advantage in appearance at all, but Qingcheng's weakness was that he had no Chakra.

So Sarutobi Asuma shouted, "You dead-last clan head, I'm here to see Kurenai. This has nothing to do with you."

Qingcheng looked at the frowning Asuma and laughed. "No need to look for her. Kurenai never loved you in the first place. You're just a horny fool obsessed with her body, trying to play the lecherous claw, aren't you?"

Qingcheng cursed again, "Get the hell out of here. Don't ever appear at the Uchiha Clan Compound again. Even if you become the future Fifth Hokage, I, Uchiha Qingcheng, won't give you any face."

The ANBU members and Root members in the Uchiha Clan Compound all began recording that Uchiha Qingcheng showed no respect to Asuma.
