Another Part of the Body, Ying Awakens

However, Sarutobi Sasuke and Shimura Takeo dared not confront the Uchiha Clan right now.

Both of them were severely wounded, and the clansmen they had brought were either dead or injured, leaving them with no strength to continue the fight.

Nevertheless, the two of them harbored this grudge deep in their hearts.

If this vengeance is not exacted, they swore they would not be worthy of the name.

"The Sarutobi and Shimura clans have suffered such a heavy loss this time that they will surely hold a grudge against us, and it is highly likely they will defect to the Senju Clan."

"But all of this is worth it; with the strength of our Uchiha Clan, there is no need to take those two clans seriously at all."

Uchiha Izuna looked at the vast amount of wealth before him, his eyes dazzled; this much money was enough to keep the Uchiha Clan fed and clothed for three years without worry.

"The Sarutobi and Shimura clans are not worth fearing. Even if they are swayed by Senju Hashirama, so what? Since when has our Uchiha Clan ever cared?"

Uchiha Yang grabbed a handful of gold and jewelry at random, and the pleasant clinking sound of the treasure falling made him feel much more at ease.

Money was truly the most healing thing in the world.

"Lord Izuna, this is the latest intelligence."

A trusted subordinate of Izuna, who had been waiting outside the warehouse, respectfully presented the intelligence before obediently retreating.

Uchiha Yang watched him open the report and couldn't help but smile: "Is it news from Senju Tobirama's side?"

Uchiha Izuna opened the intelligence and took a look: "It is not from Senju Tobirama, but regarding Senju Hashirama and the Kaguya Clan."

"According to the report, Senju Hashirama used overwhelming power to crush Kaguya Haruo. However, Senju Hashirama did not kill him, but instead ceded the mountain range filled with Bloodline Grass to the Kaguya Clan."

"Trading land for peace—Senju Hashirama has already begun to put the cart before the horse."

Uchiha Yang gave a disdainful laugh after hearing this.

During the final battle at the Valley of the End in the original story, when Senju Hashirama fought Uchiha Madara, he said that for the sake of the village, he would not spare anyone—even his friends, brothers, or his own children—if they endangered the village's safety.

The darkness of Konoha likely began to fester starting with Senju Hashirama.

"I am going to tell Big Brother."

Uchiha Izuna would not miss any opportunity to strike at Senju Hashirama.

"Go, go."

Uchiha Yang took one last look at the glittering, overflowing warehouse of gold and jewelry before leaving the place.

Sure enough, robbing people is the fastest way to make money.

However, this was only a short-term gain; his own business was the long-term play.

In this day and age, buying and selling arms and medicine was the most profitable, and these two projects were the key businesses Uchiha Yang focused on.

Once the first batch of products was produced, Uchiha Yang felt it was necessary to let those in need know just how effective they were.

"Kage, how is the training of the death squads going?"

After returning home, Uchiha Yang enjoyed a massage from his maids while soaking in a hot bath, asking Uchiha Kage, who was guarding outside the door.

"Master, your subordinate has achieved great results following the training methods you bestowed upon us."

"Five hundred out of one thousand were eliminated, and the remaining five hundred have all become Genin. However, to reach your goal, Master, we still need to eliminate four hundred more."

"I believe we will soon meet your requirements and serve you well."

Outside the door, Uchiha Kage reported the results of the death squad training with excitement.

"Not bad, not bad." Uchiha Yang smiled with great satisfaction. "You have done very well; thank you for your hard work, Kage."

"Master, it is no hardship for your subordinate."

Uchiha Kage immediately knelt on one knee, his expression deeply moved; being praised by his master was his lifelong pursuit.

Shortly after, Uchiha Kage heard the laughter of his master and Xia Lian, accompanied by the sound of splashing water.

Feeling refreshed, Uchiha Yang stood on the second-floor balcony, squinting into the distance as if enjoying something.

A moment later, Xia Lian stood up and looked at her master shyly: "Master, was your servant satisfactory to you?"

"Life is unpredictable, and this matter was not quite satisfactory enough, Master; we need to do it again."

With a wicked laugh, Uchiha Yang pulled the softly whimpering Xia Lian into his arms, while the surrounding maids followed behind their master with smiles on their faces.

Only Uzumaki Mito stood in the corner with a vacant gaze.

Seeing this, Uchiha Yang pursed his lips, signaling the maids beside him to pull Uzumaki Mito into the room as well.

It was time to taste the flavor of Senju Hashirama's fiancée.

Having kept her for so long, Uchiha Yang was actually looking forward to it.

The moment the heavy doors slammed shut, a flicker of movement appeared deep within Uzumaki Mito's eyes.

Clearly, Uzumaki Mito had not truly been brainwashed; she had chosen to hide it, staying by Uchiha Yang's side to wait for an opportunity to strike.

Over these past few days, Uzumaki Mito had heard a great deal of information, which Uchiha Yang had made no effort to hide from her, clearly believing she had been successfully brainwashed.

But the moment the door closed, Uzumaki Mito finally realized something, and her heart was filled with panic.

Uzumaki Mito had long since steeled herself to throw herself into the tiger's den; for the sake of her clan, there was nothing she could not lose.

Yet, when the moment truly arrived, Uzumaki Mito realized she was not as strong as she had imagined.

Uchiha Yang lay on the grand bed, surrounded by handmaidens in various distinctive outfits, chirping and preening themselves, though his gaze remained fixed on Uzumaki Mito, who stood motionless by the bedside.

"Xia Lian, change her into the little white rabbit outfit. Today, I intend to play the big bad wolf."

"As you command, Master."

Xia Lian climbed out of his embrace with a beaming smile.

Right there in front of Uchiha Yang, Uzumaki Mito was dressed in the little white rabbit costume by Xia Lian.

The moment her clothes were removed, Uzumaki Mito's heart hammered with tension, but she forced herself to act as if nothing were amiss so as not to betray her unease.

Uchiha Yang was quite curious to see just how far Uzumaki Mito's patience could be pushed.

However, he had to admit, Uzumaki Mito's figure was truly exceptional; with her curves in all the right places, every part of her was a man's dream.

It seemed he would have to be the one to enjoy the fortune that should have belonged to Senju Hashirama.

[Brain: I'm about to crash again. Damn that Senju Hashirama, he sure had good luck with women—wait, what am I saying? Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Women only slow down my processing speed.]

[Sharingan: I just finished training, and the Eternal Mangekyo is still missing something. I suspect it's exactly what's in front of us; I need a bit of stimulation.]

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

[Sharingan: What kind of stimulation it is doesn't matter. What matters is that any stimulation that gets a reaction out of me is good stimulation.]

[Lightning Affinity: I feel like you guys are talking dirty, but I have no evidence.]

[Shadow: Ah!!! That was such a comfortable nap.]

[Brain: ????]

[Sharingan: ????]

[Hand: ???]

[Leg: ???]

[Mouth: ???]

Even the Five Great Attributes chimed in with question marks. Where had Shadow popped out from? They hadn't seen this guy once since they woke up.

The biggest question mark of all was the master of this body, Uchiha Yang. What the hell was a Shadow, and what was this about just waking up? Don't tell him it had been sleeping from the very beginning until now.

[Shadow: What's wrong? Why are there so many question marks just because I took a nap?]

Shadow looked completely bewildered.

Why was the Master throwing question marks at them too? It had just taken a simple nap; it hadn't died or anything.
