Two Thousand Explosive Tags

When Qingcheng returned to the main hall, Kurenai Yuhi had already finished eating. She looked at Qingcheng as he walked back and said with a smile, "Qingcheng talked him into leaving."

Qingcheng smiled faintly and said softly, "Yes, he realized that intruding into someone else's home is impolite."

Sasuke said angrily, "Brother Qingcheng, once I become stronger, I'll beat down everyone who looks down on the Uchiha Clan!"

Qingcheng picked up his chopsticks again and said seriously, "Hurry up and eat! Stop making threats. Sasuke, you should build a solid foundation and let Yamahuku guide you in controlling your Chakra."

Sasuke suddenly realized something and said seriously, "Brother Qingcheng, why do you always call me Sasuke? I feel like you're insulting me."

Qingcheng said poker-faced, "Aren't you the vice-leader? Isn't the vice-leader the second in command? When I kick the bucket, you'll be the first."

Sasuke looked speechless when he heard this and said with great disdain, "So, 'Sasuke' means 'the second'?"

Qingcheng said seriously, "It also has another meaning. It must be someone who acts a bit foolish. He's just a genin, yet he insists on challenging Kage-level masters. In the end, it's like a cockroach fighting an elephant, getting mercilessly trampled."

Qingcheng knew Sasuke's future strength. He would undoubtedly be the second strongest person below the Six Paths. Even after using Susanoo to absorb Tailed Beast Chakra, he still only fought Naruto to a draw.

"In the past five thousand years, every Indra reincarnation has fought against the Asura reincarnation."

"You could say Sasuke had the best record. No matter how much Uchiha Madara upgraded his Sharingan, even to the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he was still crushed by Hashirama Senju."

"The previous Indra reincarnations probably had even worse records; even Black Zetsu didn't bother to show up. You can imagine how bad those records were."

Qingcheng thought to himself, Next time I go to Root, I'll find Hashirama Cells and arrange for Sasuke to get some too. If we can't beat the Sage Body, we'll join the Sage Body.

We'll create our own Uchiha Sage Body. When the Otsutsuki Clan comes to the Ninja World and sees piles of Rinnegan, I wonder if they'll panic.

Sasuke said seriously, "Brother Qingcheng, do you know any way to get strong quickly?"

Qingcheng smiled and said, "Sasuke, when I find that method, I'll tell you right away. For now, just focus on your training obediently."

After Sasuke finished eating, he said, "Brother Qingcheng, I'm going to train now," put down his chopsticks, and ran to the training ground in the backyard.

Qingcheng smiled and said, "Kurenai, do you want to continue learning Genjutsu, or practice the Invincible Wind-Fire Wheels with me?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Qingcheng's mischievous smile, and her face instantly flushed with shyness. Kurenai said, blushing, "I'll continue training my Chakra. I need to improve my strength so I can protect you, who doesn't have Chakra."

Qingcheng was very surprised in his heart. It's not that I want to deceive Kurenai, but I can't expose my strength. Once the Third Hokage knows, I won't be able to carry out my plans smoothly. And that animal Danzo will always be plotting against me. Later, he'll even arrange for Root ninjas to surround me.

Qingcheng being looked down upon wasn't new. Everywhere he went, people would call him the "dead last clan leader." However, Qingcheng didn't mind. He thought, "You can call me what you want, I'll do what I want. Not having a definition of strength means there's no danger, and the Third Hokage won't suspect me."

Qingcheng looked at the playful Kurenai and said with a smile, "Then you train your Genjutsu well. I'm going to the restroom and then take a shower. You don't have to wait for me; if you're tired, just rest."

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Qingcheng, who seemed to have said something important, her face filled with confusion. She asked, puzzled, "So, are you going to be gone for a long time?"

Qingcheng shook his head and said with a smile, "At most twenty minutes. What if I shower first, then go to the restroom, and then shower again when I come back?"

Kurenai Yuhi didn't just smile gently; she said softly, "Then you go to the restroom first, then shower."

Qingcheng smiled and said, "Then fifteen minutes will be enough." With that, Qingcheng took his clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

Upon reaching the bathroom, he turned on the faucet. Then, Qingcheng formed hand signs and shouted, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Immediately, a Shadow Clone appeared. The Shadow Clone shouted, "I'm going to take a shower! Showers are really comfortable, aren't they?"

The Root ninjas on the roof of the clan compound complained disdainfully, "He has to let the whole world know he's taking a shower. Is this dead last's brain broken?"

And the Anbu members all complained, "Is it really necessary for the Third Hokage to make us monitor him? Everything this dead last does, the whole village finds out about."

"For example, when he went to sweep the graves, he banged gongs and drums all the way, scattering paper money like dust. Now, everyone in the village knows about the Uchiha one-stop service: a million Ryo will send your beloved relatives straight to heaven."

Kurenai Yuhi's face was full of doting affection, and she thought to herself, Qingcheng-kun is not only handsome but also the most obedient Uchiha. He's truly likable.

Meanwhile, Qingcheng had already put on his mask and black ninja outfit, then burrowed directly into the ground using Earth Release: Deep Earth Rapid Movement Technique.

Qingcheng thought to himself, I brought two thousand Explosive Tags this time. I'm going to make the entire Shimura Clan bloom. Let that old hag Danzo taste what it's like to have his clan annihilated.

The Shimura Clan's compound was only two blocks away from the Hokage's Office.

The Deep Earth Rapid Movement Technique was incredibly fast. Traveling in a straight line, it took only three minutes for Qingcheng to reach the underground of the Shimura Clan's compound.

It was just past 8 PM, the time when ninjas typically finished work and headed home.

Qingcheng activated his Three-Tomoe Sharingan and looked at the Shimura Clan compound above ground. Many clan members were returning from outside.

Because of the Shimura Ken incident, all the Shimura Clan ninjas looked gloomy, clearly having been heavily criticized by the villagers.

The clan leader, Shimura Kumano, was also troubled. He said despondently, "Is this clan leader position really safe? Will I be the scapegoat next time? Or should I make them behave themselves and stop causing trouble outside?"

Underground, Qingcheng used the penetrative vision of his Sharingan to see everything on the surface clearly. Then, Qingcheng complained, "Shimura Min's father is truly pitiful. Danzo directly pushed him out to take the fall."

Qingcheng emerged directly from one hundred meters underground into the clan leader's office.

The Shimura Clan's leader's office was very large, like a three-story mansion. Qingcheng used his Sharingan to search for the Shimura Clan's storage room.

Qingcheng planned to take the Shimura Clan's money and Ninjutsu scrolls. Although they were mostly Wind Release Ninjutsu, even small gains were still gains. Just because he didn't use Wind Release didn't mean the Uchiha wouldn't have Wind Release in the future.

Qingcheng had tested his Chakra nature using Chakra paper and found he had three natures: Fire, Lightning, and Earth.

This was no different from typical Uchiha members. The standard Uchiha Clan members naturally possessed Fire and Lightning Chakra natures.

Therefore, the Uchiha Clan's Ninjutsu scrolls also contained several Lightning Release Ninjutsu. However, Lightning Release Ninjutsu training caused significant commotion, so Qingcheng hadn't learned them. Instead, he secretly focused on training in Fire Release and Genjutsu.
