The main body is indeed a small fry~

"The original body is truly a bottom-feeder. You've managed to turn the power of the Second Pillar at his peak into something that looks like kidney deficiency. Tsk tsk tsk... truly, a bottom-feeder."

Uchiha Hanabi stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching Uchiha Ruri touch his own right eye, her gaze filled with nothing but disdain and contempt.

Uchiha Hanabi, the genius girl of the Uchiha Clan, had been bathed in the glow of the clan's profound Kekkei Genkai and secret arts since childhood.

She not only inherited the Uchiha Clan's unique Sharingan but was also one of Ruri's Six Paths identities, possessing astonishing potential and power.

In the eyes of the clansmen, Hanabi was a prodigy. From a young age, she displayed an extremely high aptitude for ninjutsu and a rapid mastery speed; whether it was basic taijutsu, ninjutsu, or the unique ocular techniques of the Uchiha Clan, she could grasp and skillfully utilize them in no time.

Her talent led the elders of the clan to place high hopes on her, believing that she would surely become a pillar of the Uchiha Clan in the future.

However, for Hanabi, these praises and expectations did not make her complacent.

She knew clearly that her power and talent were all bestowed upon her by Ruri.

Therefore, she was currently working on her character persona as Hanabi from Honkai: Star Rail, and the preceding background was also the effect of the memory card set by Ruri.

However, regarding the power of the Second Pillar, Hanabi truly could not understand the lack of capability Ruri displayed while using it.

Ruri listened to Hanabi's mockery, his mouth twitching uncontrollably. He suddenly realized that the effect of the memory card seemed to be too strong.

In just this short amount of time, he had already become an existence in Hanabi's eyes that could not shake off the "bottom-feeder" label.

A sense of inexplicable frustration welled up in Ruri's heart. He had once thought that possessing the power of the Second Pillar would allow him to walk sideways through this world and display unparalleled strength.

Yet, reality gave him a resounding slap, making him understand that the greatness of power lies not just in possessing it, but in how to wield it.

Although Ruri already possessed the power of the Second Pillar, he was consistently unable to push it to its limit. This was not to say he hadn't tried; the character template extraction had been active for less than a day, and familiarizing himself with the power would still require a lot of time.

Ruri knew this wasn't because his talent was lacking, but because his mindset and techniques still had some issues.

He relied too heavily on the power of the Second Pillar and neglected the growth and progress of his own original body.

He thought that as long as he possessed this power, he could easily defeat all enemies, though the facts were indeed that way.

"Hanabi is right, the original body is indeed a bottom-feeder. It's the Six Paths power, for heaven's sake!" Gojo Rin chimed in from the side.

As Ruri's shadow clone, although she didn't want to crush his self-confidence, she had to admit that Ruri indeed had many problems when using the Second Pillar's power.

At this moment, it seemed Ruri would never be able to shake off the "bottom-feeder" label.

Ruri took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner emotions. He knew he indeed had many problems, but he refused to accept the fact that he would always be a "bottom-feeder."

He decided that in the future, he would become more familiar with the power of Six Paths Sasuke, striving to master the Second Pillar's power as soon as possible and become a true Six Paths powerhouse.

"Oh my, oh my, original body, this kidney-deficient look of yours is truly too interesting! It seems that injecting the Six Paths power into your clones is like pouring yourself a glass of strong liquor, only to end up getting drunk first? Haha, you might even be worse than the Second Pillar in Boruto! Being drained by Sakura is one thing, but if you were to be drained by me, Hanabi, then you would truly be bringing shame upon the Uchiha Clan!"

Uchiha Hanabi clutched her stomach and laughed; her laughter was crisp and pleasant, yet carried a hint of teasing.

Ruri looked at Hanabi's triumphant smile, and a sense of amusement couldn't help but well up in his heart.

He knew that the reason Hanabi said this wasn't because she truly wanted to strike him down, but because she wanted to use this method to motivate him, to make him work harder in his cultivation and improve his strength.

This unique method of motivation, while somewhat exasperating, also made Ruri feel a trace of warmth and care.

"Very good, Hanabi, continue being your fun-loving self." Ruri said with a smile, his eyes filled with encouragement and expectation.

He knew that Hanabi had infinite potential and talent; as long as she was given a sufficient stage, she would definitely be able to bloom with even more dazzling light in the Akatsuki organization.

Hearing Ruri's words, the smile on Hanabi's face became even brighter. She knew that Ruri wasn't angry because of her teasing, but instead encouraged her to continue having fun, which made her feel incomparably delighted and excited. She cleared her throat, preparing to start her next round of dialogue.

"Hehe, original body, you wouldn't actually be discouraged by me, would you?" Hanabi blinked her large eyes, looking at Ruri with a mischievous expression. Her twin tails bounced as her head swayed, as if cheering for her own words. "I have always been looking forward to you surpassing yourself and showing your true strength! But this kidney-deficient look you have now is truly disappointing."

Ruri listened to Hanabi's teasing, a sense of helplessness welling up in his heart. He knew Hanabi was using her unique way to motivate him, but this method really left him somewhat unable to laugh or cry.

He watched Hanabi's twin tails bouncing in the sunlight and suddenly found it somewhat funny.

They were all the same person, so why could Hanabi be so active? This was all the work of those memory fragments!

"Hanabi, stop making fun of me." Ruri said with a bitter smile, "I know you are motivating me, but this method is really too much for me to handle."

"Oh my, original body, you've misunderstood me!" Hanabi blinked her eyes, saying with an innocent expression, "I truly hope you can become stronger! Look, if others saw you in this state, they would definitely say that our Uchiha Clan has no one left. So, you must work hard to cultivate and master the power of the Six Paths as soon as possible, so that our Uchiha Clan can be glorious once again!"

"Clap clap clap clap!" Following a burst of enthusiastic applause, Gojo Rin clapped excitedly from the side. She walked forward with a full smile and said to Uchiha Hanabi and Ruri: "Hanabi is truly a top-tier actress, portraying the original body so vividly! And the original body, too, is a top-tier subject for training; the coordination between the two of you is truly seamless, performed with divine skill!"

"Alright, the dramatic performance is over." Ruri said lightly, a trace of satisfaction showing in his gaze.

He looked at Hanabi and Rin; both had performed very well in this act, completely meeting his expectations.

Hanabi's character portrayal was lifelike, making one unable to help but cheer for it; and Rin's coordination was also seamless, making the entire performance even more perfect.

"Hanabi, Rin, the two of you will coordinate with Gojo Satoru to go to Yugakure and take a look." Ruri continued, "At this point in time, the Akatsuki organization should be in urgent need of manpower. Juzo was killed by me not long ago, and they are in need of new power to join. Your strength is already sufficient; you can take the opportunity to insert yourselves and join the Akatsuki organization."

As he spoke, Ruri's gaze turned to the new shadow clone he had created not long ago. This shadow clone was molded to be exactly the same as Gojo Satoru; whether it was appearance or temperament, it was as if they were carved from the same mold. Ruri decided to use this shadow clone as the avatar of Gojo Satoru, letting him play an important role in future actions.

"This shadow clone will act as the avatar of Gojo Satoru." Ruri explained, "His strength and wisdom are on par with Gojo Satoru, and he can completely replace his activities in the outside world. In this way, we can respond to various situations more flexibly; whether it is the Akatsuki organization or other forces, they will not easily detect our true identity and purpose."

Hanabi and Rin listened to Ruri's plan, both of their eyes flashing with excitement.

"Speaking of which, original body, is it really okay for me to become Gojo Satoru? Isn't it a bit too out of character?" Gojo Satoru said helplessly, spreading his hands with a wry, bitter smile on his face.

He felt somewhat surprised that he was chosen to play the role of Gojo Satoru; after all, their personalities and styles were vastly different. However, he also understood that this was a decision made by Ruri, and he could not change it, only try his best to adapt.

Ruri looked at Gojo Satoru's expression and couldn't help but chuckle.

He knew Gojo Satoru's worries and concerns, and understood his unfamiliarity and unease with this role. However, he believed that Gojo Satoru had the ability to handle this role; after all, he was someone who possessed a super-powerful brain and amazing memory.

"Gojo Satoru, you don't need to worry." Ruri said softly, "I believe you have the ability to play this role well. Although your personality and style are different from Gojo Satoru's, it is precisely this difference that will make our plan even more perfect. What you need to do is to integrate into the character as much as possible, to feel the inner world of Gojo Satoru, and to experience his way of life and way of thinking. Only in this way can you better complete the mission."

"Besides, this character doesn't exist in the ninja world; this is just part of the plan. You only need to know that much."

"Fine, Main Body. So, what are we doing next?" Gojo Satoru pulled out a lollipop and put it in his mouth, his face showing a hint of helplessness and confusion.

Although he had accepted the task of roleplaying Gojo Satoru, he was still at a loss regarding the subsequent actions.

After all, he wasn't familiar with Gojo Satoru's daily life or action plans, nor did he know how he was supposed to blend in.

Regardless, he figured he'd just do whatever felt good.

Liuli watched Gojo Satoru's expression and understood his confusion and unease.

She knew that to help Gojo Satoru play the role better, she needed to provide more guidance and assistance. Thus, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Gojo Satoru. Next, the three of you will act together to carry out some missions. Playing the Gojo Satoru role isn't the point; the point is simply that no such person exists in the ninja world."

"First, we need to understand the situation in Yugakure," Liuli continued. "After all, our mission is to join the Akatsuki, and the Akatsuki should have important bases and activities in Yugakure after they seek out Hidan. We need to understand Yugakure's geographical location, personnel composition, and distribution of power so we can better formulate our action plan."

Gojo Satoru listened to Liuli's explanation, and his confidence gradually grew. He understood that although he possessed powerful strength, he still needed to act with caution in this strange world. Liuli's plan, while tedious, was meant to ensure the success of the mission. He nodded in agreement.

However, Hanabi frowned with some impatience. As a Shadow Clone Technique creation of the main body Six Paths Sasuke, she had inherited powerful strength and was full of confidence.

In her view, with the strength of her, Liuli, and Gojo Satoru, they could easily join the Akatsuki without needing to devise such a complex plan.

"Main Body, there's no need for so many plans," Hanabi said bluntly. "After all, those are just ordinary villagers; our acting skills are enough to get us in. Our power is also immense—with the Six Paths power, Rinnegan, and Mangekyo Sharingan, we can easily handle any situation."

Liuli smiled slightly. She had long understood Hanabi's straightforward personality; she was as hot as a raging fire, liking to be direct and disliking beating around the bush.

This personality could indeed resolve problems quickly at times, but when executing missions, it might lead to trouble due to a lack of strategy.

Therefore, she needed to explain clearly to Hanabi that executing missions required not just power, but also strategy.

"Hanabi, I naturally know your strength. Your Mangekyo Sharingan and Fire Style are top-tier, derived from my own power," Liuli said in a calm tone. "However, executing a mission isn't just a contest of pure strength. We need to consider various factors, including the enemy's strength, terrain advantages, intelligence gathering, and so on. Only by formulating a detailed plan can we better respond to unexpected situations and ensure the mission's success."

Hanabi frowned slightly upon hearing Liuli's words. She wasn't someone who liked being constrained; she preferred to act freely and solve problems with her own strength. However, she also understood Liuli's intentions.

After all, their mission this time was not simple and required careful action.

"Alright, I understand." Hanabi nodded, signaling her acceptance of Liuli's suggestion. "I will act according to the plan."

Seeing that Hanabi understood her meaning, Liuli continued: "The act still needs to be performed. After you go to Yugakure, do whatever you want; I won't interfere too much. But you must remember what our goal is. Our mission is to join the Akatsuki and stir up trouble. As for subsequent developments, the three of you can do as you please; just discuss it in the System Chat Group."

"Additionally, although Yugakure is a peace-loving village, that doesn't mean there is no danger there," Liuli added. "The Akatsuki hasn't gone to Yugakure yet, but it's possible that other members of theirs are hiding in every corner of the village. Therefore, you need to remain vigilant at all times and not expose your identities or objectives."

Hanabi and Rin both expressed their understanding after hearing Liuli's words and accepted the decision.

"Even after my character template is reclaimed, you will still be able to maintain yourselves, and I haven't dispelled the Shadow Clone Technique."

Liuli's tone was firm and without hesitation. She knew well that she had to return to Konoha to face the Third Hokage's search and deal with some troublesome matters following the Night of the Uchiha Massacre.

Even if her character template was reclaimed, her Shadow Clones would still exist, and they could continue to carry out the mission and move forward.

"The headache is that the high-ups in Konoha are still looking for me." Liuli rubbed her temples, her brows locked in a frown.

She knew she had been away from Konoha for some time, and she estimated that the village's high-ups had been searching for her whereabouts, which made her feel it was quite tricky.

After all, she was a member of the Uchiha Clan in Konoha, and her movements and status had always been under close watch.

Liuli knew she couldn't linger here for too long. She had to return to Konoha as soon as possible to face the things waiting for her to handle.

Some of the troublesome matters from the Night of the Uchiha Massacre had not yet been resolved, and the Third Hokage summoning her tonight was precisely for this reason.

She turned to look at Hanabi and Rin, her eyes flashing with a firm light: "The three of you can go to Yugakure to handle other matters. I believe you are capable of this task."

Hanabi and Rin nodded silently, understanding Liuli's intent.

"I still have to go visit little Sasuke; I reckon he's still practicing Fire Style right now," Liuli said softly, a glimmer of warmth flashing in her eyes.

"The Main Body really is a caring big sister, looking after little Sasuke all by herself," Hanabi said with a smile, her tone carrying a hint of teasing.

Liuli couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration at Hanabi's words. She knew Hanabi was joking, but she didn't mind.

"Then, I'm heading back to the village first. You can go play in Yugakure or go wherever you like; after all, you can walk sideways wherever you go." Liuli flashed with a Body Flicker, disappearing from sight.
