The Other Part of the Body: The Shadow Awoke

But Sarutobi Sasuke and Shimura Takeo didn't dare confront the Uchiha Clan right now.

Both of them were severely injured, and their clansmen had either been killed or wounded. They had no strength left to fight.

Still, they kept this grudge in their hearts.

I won't rest until this debt is repaid.

"The Sarutobi and Shimura clans suffered a huge loss this time. They'll definitely hold it against us, and they may even join forces with the Senju Clan."

"But it was worth it. With the strength of the Uchiha Clan, we don't need to take those two clans seriously."

Uchiha Izuna stared at the mountain of treasures before him, dazzled. There was enough money here to cover the Uchiha Clan's expenses for three years.

"The Sarutobi and Shimura clans are nothing to worry about. Even if Senju Hashirama manages to persuade them to join his side, so what? When has the Uchiha Clan ever cared?"

Uchiha Yang scooped up a handful of gold and jewels. The pleasant clinking as they fell made him feel much better.

Money really was the best cure in the world.

"Lord Izuna, the latest intelligence."

One of Izuna's trusted subordinates, who had been waiting outside the storeroom, respectfully presented the report, then withdrew.

Seeing him open it, Uchiha Yang couldn't help smiling. "Is it news about Senju Tobirama?"

Uchiha Izuna opened the report and glanced over it. "It's not about Senju Tobirama. It's about Senju Hashirama and the Kaguya Clan."

"According to the report, Senju Hashirama crushed Kaguya Haruo with overwhelming force. But he didn't kill him. Instead, he gave the Kaguya Clan the mountain range where the Bloodline Grass grows."

"Trading land for peace. Senju Hashirama has already started getting things backward."

Uchiha Yang let out a scornful laugh.

During the battle at the Valley of the End, when Senju Hashirama fought Uchiha Madara, he said that for the sake of the village, he wouldn't spare even his friends, brothers, or children if they endangered its safety.

The darkness of Konoha must have started with Senju Hashirama.

"I'll go tell my elder brother."

Uchiha Izuna never passed up a chance to undermine Senju Hashirama.

"Go ahead."

Uchiha Yang took one last look at the storeroom, crammed full of glittering gold and jewels, then left.

Robbing people really was the fastest way to make money.

But that was only short-term profit. His own businesses were what would bring in money for the long haul.

These days, weapons and medicine were the most profitable businesses. Those were the two ventures Uchiha Yang focused on.

Once the first batch of products was ready, Uchiha Yang felt he should let the people who needed them know just how useful they were.

"Ying, how is the training of the shadow soldiers coming along?"

After returning home, Uchiha Yang relaxed in a hot bath while a maid massaged him. He called out to Uchiha Ying, who was waiting outside the door.

"Master, I followed the training methods you gave me, and we've already made tremendous progress."

"Of the thousand recruits, five hundred were eliminated. The other five hundred have all become Genin. But to meet your goal, we'll need to eliminate another four hundred."

"I'm sure we'll reach your standards soon and be able to serve you."

Outside the door, Uchiha Ying excitedly reported on the results of the shadow soldiers' training.

"Not bad, not bad." Uchiha Yang smiled, thoroughly satisfied. "You did very well. Thanks for all your hard work, Ying."

"Master, it was no trouble."

Uchiha Ying immediately dropped to one knee, deeply moved. Earning his master's praise was the goal of his life.

Then Uchiha Ying heard his master and Xia Lian laughing, along with the splashing of water.

Feeling completely refreshed, Uchiha Yang stood on the second-floor balcony and gazed into the distance, his eyes narrowed as if savoring something.

A moment later, Xia Lian stood up and looked at her master shyly. "Master, was I to your satisfaction?"

"Life is unpredictable, and the large intestine wraps around the small intestine. I wasn't quite satisfied with that. We'll have to do it again."

With a wicked laugh, Uchiha Yang scooped up the blushing Xia Lian. The maids around them followed their master, giggling.

Only Uzumaki Mito stood motionless in the corner, her gaze vacant.

When Uchiha Yang saw her, he pursed his lips and signaled to the maids beside him to bring Uzumaki Mito into the room too.

It was time to sample the fiancée of Senju Hashirama.

After keeping her for so long, Uchiha Yang was rather looking forward to it.

The moment the door shut tight, a flicker appeared deep in Uzumaki Mito's eyes.

Clearly, Uzumaki Mito hadn't truly been brainwashed. She had chosen to hide her true thoughts, stay by Uchiha Yang's side, and wait for a chance to act.

Over the past few days, Uzumaki Mito had heard a lot of things. Uchiha Yang hadn't made any effort to hide them from her. Clearly, he believed she had been brainwashed.

But only when the door closed did Uzumaki Mito realize what was about to happen. Her heart filled with panic.

Uzumaki Mito had long been prepared to risk everything to infiltrate the tiger's den. For the sake of her clan, there was nothing she couldn't give up.

But now that the moment had come, Uzumaki Mito realized she wasn't as strong as she'd thought.

Uchiha Yang lay on the large bed. The maids, dressed in all sorts of alluring outfits, danced and flirted around him, but his gaze was fixed on Uzumaki Mito, who stood motionless beside the bed.

"Xia Lian, put her in a little white bunny outfit. Today, I'm playing the big bad wolf."

"As you wish, Master."

Xia Lian climbed out of his arms with a smile.

With Uchiha Yang watching, Xia Lian changed Uzumaki Mito into a little white bunny outfit.

The moment her clothes came off, Uzumaki Mito's heart raced with nerves. But she couldn't let anyone notice, so she acted as if nothing had happened.

Uchiha Yang was curious how long Uzumaki Mito could keep enduring this.

But Uzumaki Mito really did have a great figure. Honestly, she had curves in all the right places. Every part of her was a man's favorite.

It seemed he'd have to enjoy Senju Hashirama's good fortune on his behalf.

[Brain: I'm about to crash again. Damn Senju Hashirama, what a lucky bastard. Ah, what am I saying? Tsk, tsk, women only slow me down.]

[Sharingan: I just came out of my training. The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan still needs something. I suspect it's what's right in front of me. I need a little stimulation.]

[Hand: So, is this the kind of stimulation you need? Don't think I don't know what you're up to.]

[Sharingan: The kind of stimulation doesn't matter. If it gets me worked up, it's good stimulation.]

[Lightning Affinity: I feel like you're making dirty jokes, but I have no proof.]

[Shadow: Ah!!! That was the best nap ever.]

[Brain: ????]

[Sharingan: ????]

[Hand: ???]

[Leg: ???]

[Mouth: ???]

Even the Five Great Attributes all responded with question marks. Where had the shadow come from? None of them had seen him since they'd become conscious.

The biggest question mark belonged to the owner of this body, Uchiha Yang. What was this shadow supposed to be? And what did he mean, he'd just woken up? Had he been asleep this whole time?

[Shadow: What's going on? Why all the question marks just because I took a nap?]

The shadow looked utterly baffled.

Why was his master sending question marks too? He'd just taken a simple nap. It wasn't as if he'd died.
