Two Thousand Explosive Tags

When Qingcheng returned to the main hall, Kurenai Yuhi had already finished eating. Seeing Qingcheng walk back, she smiled and said, "Qingcheng, did you persuade him to leave?"

Qingcheng smiled faintly and replied softly, "Yes. He also realized that barging 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!"

Picking up his chopsticks again, Qingcheng said seriously, "Hurry up and eat! Stop making threats. Uchiha Sasuke, build up your foundation first. Have Yamahuku guide you in practicing Chakra control."

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

Qingcheng said solemnly, "Aren't you the deputy clan leader? Isn't the deputy the number two? Once I kick the bucket, you'll be Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke's face filled with speechlessness as he said in disgust, "So Uchiha Sasuke means number two?"

Qingcheng said seriously, "It has another meaning too. It means someone is ridiculously stupid. He was clearly just a genin, yet he insisted on challenging a Kage-level Expert. In the end, it was like a cockroach fighting an elephant—he got ruthlessly trampled."

Qingcheng knew how strong Sasuke would become in the future. He would unquestionably be second only to the Six Paths, yet he used Susanoo to absorb the tailed beasts' Chakra and still only fought Naruto to a draw.

Over the past five thousand years, every reincarnation of Indra had fought every reincarnation of Asura.

It could be said that Sasuke had the best record. No matter how Uchiha Madara upgraded his Sharingan, even reaching the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Hashirama Senju still beat him senseless.

The previous reincarnations of Indra probably had even worse records. Black Zetsu could not even be bothered to show himself. That showed just how terrible their performances had been.

Qingcheng thought to himself, Next time I go to Root, I'll find some Hashirama Cells and get Sasuke some too. If we can't beat a Sage Body, then we'll become a Sage Body ourselves.

We'll create a Sage Body belonging to our Uchiha Clan. When the Otsutsuki Clan comes to the Shinobi World and sees piles of Rinnegan, let's see whether they panic.

Sasuke asked seriously, "Brother Qingcheng, is there any way to become strong quickly?"

Qingcheng smiled. "Uchiha Sasuke, once I find such a method, I'll tell you immediately. For now, just train properly."

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

Qingcheng smiled and asked, "Kurenai, do you want to continue learning genjutsu, or train the Invincible Wind Fire Wheel with me?"

Seeing Qingcheng's lecherous grin, Kurenai Yuhi's cheeks instantly flushed. Blushing, she said, "I'll continue practicing Chakra. I need to improve my strength so I can protect you, who have no Chakra."

Qingcheng was quite surprised. It wasn't that I wanted to deceive Kurenai, but I can't expose my strength. Once the Third Hokage finds out, I won't be able to quietly stir things up anymore. And that beast Danzo will scheme against me every day. Later, he might even send Root shinobi to surround me.

Qingcheng had been looked down upon for far more than a day or two. Everywhere he went, people called him the dead-last clan leader. But Qingcheng did not care about that. He said, "You can call me whatever you want; I'll keep plotting in the shadows. If no one can define my strength, then there's no danger. The Third Hokage and the others won't suspect me either."

Looking at the playful Kurenai, Qingcheng smiled and said, "Then practice your genjutsu well. I'm going to use the restroom and take a bath. You don't need to wait for me. If you're tired, rest first."

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Qingcheng as though he had said something strange. Her face was full of confusion as she asked, "So you're leaving for a long time?"

Qingcheng shook his head with a smile. "At most twenty minutes. What if I take a bath first, then use the restroom, and have to come back and bathe again?"

Kurenai Yuhi did not merely smile; she softly said, "Then use the restroom first, and take a bath afterward."

Qingcheng laughed. "Then fifteen minutes will be enough." With that, Qingcheng took his clothes and headed toward the bathroom.

Once inside the bathroom, he turned on the faucet. Then Qingcheng formed hand seals with both hands and called out, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

A Shadow Clone immediately appeared and shouted, "I'm going to take a bath! Taking a bath feels so good!"

The Root shinobi on the roof above the clan grounds grumbled in disgust, "Does he need to let the whole world know he's taking a bath? Is something wrong with that dead-last's brain?"

The ANBU members also complained, "Was it really necessary for the Third Hokage to have us monitor him? Whatever that dead-last does, he makes sure the whole village knows about it."

For example, whenever he went to visit graves, he beat gongs and drums all the way there, scattering funeral paper until it flew like dust. Who in the village did not know that Uchiha One-Stop Service could send your finest loved ones straight to heaven for one million Ryo?

Kurenai Yuhi's face was full of affection as she thought to herself, Qingcheng-kun is not only handsome, but he's also the most reasonable Uchiha. He's simply too lovable.

Meanwhile, Qingcheng had already put on a mask and changed into black nightwear. He directly burrowed underground and used, "Earth Release: Earth Travel Technique!"

Qingcheng thought to himself, This time, I brought two thousand Explosive Tags. I'll make every member of the Shimura Clan blossom and let that old bastard Danzo have a taste of clan extermination.

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

The Earth Travel Technique was extremely fast. Traveling in a straight line, it took Qingcheng only three minutes to reach the underground beneath the Shimura Clan.

It was only a little past eight in the evening, the time when shinobi were getting off work and returning home.

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

Because of the Shimura Ken incident, every shinobi of the Shimura Clan wore a gloomy expression. Clearly, they had been heavily berated by the villagers.

Clan leader Shimura Kumano was also troubled. Looking dejected, he said, "Is my position as clan leader even secure? Will I become the scapegoat next time? I'd better make them behave and stop going out to cause trouble."

Underground, Qingcheng used the Sharingan's penetrating vision to take in everything above ground. Then he complained, "Shimura Min's father is really miserable. Danzo directly pushed him out to take the blame."

Qingcheng rose from a hundred meters underground to the surface and ran into the clan leader's office.

The Shimura Clan's clan leader office was enormous, like a large villa with three stories. With his Sharingan activated, Qingcheng searched 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, every little bit counted. Just because he did not know Wind Release did not mean future Uchiha would not have Wind Release.

Qingcheng had tested his Chakra attributes with Chakra paper. He had three attributes: the first was fire, the second was lightning, and the third was earth.

There was no difference between him and ordinary Uchiha members. Normal members of the Uchiha Clan possessed Fire Release Chakra and Lightning Release Chakra.

Therefore, the Uchiha Clan's Ninjutsu Scrolls also contained several Lightning Release Ninjutsu. However, practicing Lightning Release Ninjutsu caused far too much commotion, so Qingcheng had not learned it. Instead, he secretly focused on practicing Fire Release and genjutsu.
