Uchiha Obito

Uchiha Gray woke up the next day feeling refreshed from head to toe.

"Is this what it feels like to grow up?"

Uchiha Gray looked completely satisfied.

He had experienced growing up in his previous life, but Tsunade was an exceptionally powerful ninja. The resilience and softness of her body, along with its irresistible touch, were beyond compare to an ordinary person's.

Tsunade was also a medical ninja.

That only made Uchiha Gray sink deeper, unable to pull himself free.

He'd gotten a taste for it!

Unfortunately, Uchiha Gray glanced calmly at the empty spot beside him. A smear of red remained there.

The hundred million in banknotes he'd prepared and left there had disappeared without a trace.

"So the ninja world may have its share of romance, but as the Princess of the Leaf, she's a proud and powerful ninja."

"If I hadn't gotten drunk this time, I probably wouldn't have gotten Tsunade so easily."

Uchiha Gray got dressed and headed outside. "But now that she's my woman, I won't let anyone bully you again!"

His presence was utterly domineering!

A powerful aura surged forth in an instant!

In an instant, the entire Land of Waves felt the terrifying pressure of his chakra, as if a humanoid beast had appeared!

Everyone in the Land of Waves fell to their knees, trembling.

"What is this feeling? Could there be a powerful ninja nearby?"

"No, that's no ninja. How could a ninja possess such immense power? It feels like I'm looking at a monster. It has to be some terrifying beast!"

"O gods, please protect us! Gato was just dealt with by a powerful and kind ninja. Please don't let us suffer through something like this again!"

The next moment, it was as if the gods had heard his prayer. The terrifying pressure vanished in an instant.

At the edge of the Land of Waves, Tsunade had just left the country when she sensed something. She turned to look back.

Complicated emotions filled Tsunade's exquisite eyes.

She never imagined that after guarding her chastity for so many years, she would give it to a kid like Uchiha Gray.

She must have been out of her mind last night.

What had caused it?

Was it because that kid was so handsome? Or was the presence around him so much like her grandfather's that it gave her a long-forgotten sense of security?

But that kid was far too powerful, wasn't he?

Even though she was a Kage Level powerhouse, she was trembling all over now.

Let's just call it an accident!

I'm not fit to be by anyone's side right now.

Uchiha Gray returned to the Leaf without even collecting his mission reward.

He was already one of the richest people in the world.

There was no need to care about such a small sum.

Besides, he had something more important to deal with. A cold glint flashed in Uchiha Gray's eyes. "Shimura Danzō actually dared to ambush me. That bastard must have a death wish."

"I was going to let you live as long as you didn't cause trouble, but now I see that you old pervert will never behave as long as you're alive!"

But he still had to be cautious with Shimura Danzō.

Shimura Danzō might not have obtained so many Three-Tomoe Sharingan yet.

But he was still no one to underestimate.

Most importantly, the Leaf was Shimura Danzō's home turf.

If he killed Shimura Danzō, he would inevitably make an enemy of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the entire Leaf!

Uchiha Gray knew that his current strength still couldn't compare to Uchiha Madara's. He wasn't yet strong enough to ignore everything.

Shimura Danzō was like a dog lurking in the shadows, ready to bite you at any moment.

If you weren't on your guard, he might even tear a chunk of flesh from you!

Uchiha Gray's eyes were cold as he contemplated the matter.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was Uchiha Shisui.

When he opened it, Uchiha Shisui's familiar, gentle face appeared before him.

"Ta-da!"

Uchiha Shisui smiled warmly as he presented a box of exquisite food.

"Why are you bringing me food all of a sudden?" Uchiha Gray asked in surprise.

Uchiha Shisui probably didn't know that Shimura Danzō would kill him in just a few months.

"Gray, did you forget? It's already time to celebrate the New Year. Come on, let's go to my place. I'll treat you to dinner!"

As Uchiha Shisui spoke, snowflakes began falling outside the window, fluttering like the most beautiful spirits in the world.

Uchiha Itachi also poked his head out from beside Shisui.

Uchiha Gray glanced at Uchiha Itachi. A cold chakra emanated from him, something that hadn't been there before.

Uchiha Itachi had already awakened the Sharingan!

"It's New Year's already?" Uchiha Gray was taken aback.

He hadn't realized how quickly time had passed.

"So I'm already nine years old." Seeing Uchiha Shisui's warm smile and Uchiha Itachi's curious yet admiring expression,

Gray sighed.

He had been in this world for nine whole years.

At first, he'd been cautious about everything, always considering the consequences and whether anyone might discover what he was doing.

Now he had the Sage Body, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and the Glint-Glint Fruit ability template, giving him the strength of an Elite Jonin!

Even against a Kage Level powerhouse, he could put up a fight!

Over those nine years, he had also fully adjusted to this world.

Amid the cheerful toasts and laughter with Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Gray spent his ninth year in the Naruto world.

It was also the warmest year he'd ever had.

Looking at Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, Gray realized that he had formed bonds with them.

People were never meant to live alone, and no one could remain isolated forever.

Even though he'd tried hard to avoid forming bonds with others, he'd still ended up caught in their whirlpool.

But it didn't feel so bad.

He looked toward the Land of Waves, his gaze gentle, and murmured, "Happy New Year, Tsunade."

The New Year passed just like that.

A whole month later, the earth began to stir back to life.

As for his padded coat, Uchiha Gray figured it made little difference whether he wore it or not.

The Sage Body gave him a powerful constitution. Even in the dead of winter, he never felt cold.

"Who's there?!"

In the Forest of Death,

Uchiha Gray was training when his expression turned cold!

Within the range of his Sage Body's senses, he detected a very cold, powerful chakra spying on him.

"Wow, no wonder you're a genius of the Uchiha Clan. You're only eight—no, nine years old this year—and you've already awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. What enviable talent!"

A man wearing a Spiral Mask appeared on a tree.

His voice was strange and mocking. Only one eye showed through the mask, and the eye was a Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

It was Uchiha Obito!
