Uchiha Sakurako and Yūgakure / Sakurako, Who's Good at Summing Things Up

This was also designed to help ninjas allocate their time most reasonably between their careers and families, thus introducing the optimal age range for marriage.

Uchiha Shingen was no exception; in fact, the stronger the ninja, the earlier they got married. It was already quite rare for Uchiha Shingen to be unmarried at this point.

As a woman in the Ninja World, a place where male strength is particularly prominent, she wasn't even a ninja, which undoubtedly put her in a very weak position.

She was once quite attached to the name of the Yuki Clan because she knew that only under the protection of a ninja clan could vulnerable girls like her and Haku have a stable living environment.

For a ninja village, the existence of a ninja clan depends on whether it has a name.

To put it bluntly, their obsession with the "Yuki Clan" is not out of affection, but out of a need for survival.

Her first choice was not to join the Uchiha Clan, but to revive the name "Snow" because she didn't think the Uchiha Clan would accept her; she felt she didn't have that kind of value.

Ice Release is nothing to be proud of in the face of the Sharingan.

But soon, Sakurako discovered that this was not the case.

The Uchiha Clan was completely different from what she had expected; they were surprisingly humane, unlike the Hidden Mist Village, where self-interest often trumped human relationships.

In this situation, she tried to join the Uchiha Clan, and the result was unexpectedly successful.

From that time on, the name of the Yuki Clan had nothing to do with Sakurako. Whoever wanted to revive it could do so. In the end, she didn't inherit the clan's surname because she wasn't a ninja.

Bai, needless to say, had no concept of the Yuki Clan.

The siblings were both quite happy about changing their surname... no, it was about acquiring the Uchiha Clan surname.

From then on, they were people with surnames. In the Land of Water, apart from nobles and powerful ninja clans, everyone else was surnameless. Although no one said it, they all knew the difference.

From that moment on, Sakurako wholeheartedly considered herself Uchiha Shingen's little maid.

She genuinely intended to repay her debt of gratitude.

But she truly didn't expect that Uchiha Mikoto would consider her as a potential wife for Uchiha Shingen was in reserve.

The Uchiha Clan offered Uchiha Shingen many suitable candidates for a wife.

Sakurako clearly remembered that Uchiha Shingen had a good relationship with a female ninja named Pakura, but she never heard that name mentioned by Uchiha Mikoto.

When asked, Uchiha Mikoto told her that the Uchiha Clan also has a very traditional side. For example, they believe that a woman should follow her husband wherever he goes, but on the other hand, they also believe that without the Uchiha Clan surname, one cannot be considered a true Uchiha Clan.

Pakura, who did not voluntarily request to change her surname or acquire the Uchiha Clan surname, was still considered somewhat lacking in the eyes of the Uchiha Clan.

Sakurako, however, felt it was too early to say that.

What if it was just that ninja named Pakura who forgot? Or perhaps it's simply because others don't understand these ninja customs?

However, Sakurako had already decided to strike first.

She couldn't wait any longer; repaying kindness should be done while it's still fresh.

The night was long, and in this place far from her hometown, she longed for warmth.

The best way to forget pain is to move towards new happiness; the people of the Land of Water are very familiar with this.

So she prepared everything very carefully.

Then wait patiently.

Around eight o'clock, there was a loud knocking on the door.

Sakurako got up, walked to the entrance, and opened the door.

A female ninja was standing at the door.

"Ah, hello." The female ninja who visited was dressed quite differently from the Uchiha Clan, and her hair color was also noticeably different from that of the Uchiha Clan. However, at this moment, the female ninja seemed a little embarrassed. "I've come to see Shingen. I heard he's not going home to sleep tonight."

"Yes, Lady Mikoto said that the clan head and Lord Shingen have important business to attend to tonight, and it will be very late, so you'll have to sleep here for the night." Sakurako explained carefully, then, looking at the other person's attire and hair color, guessed, "Excuse me, are you the Scorch Release ninja, Pakura?"

"Yes, since he hasn't returned yet, may I come in and wait for him?" Pakura had a good impression of Sakurako, mainly because she was very polite and her tone of voice was pleasant. "Because I have something to discuss with him."

"Of course, please come in."

Chapter Nine: Uchiha Clan Sakurako and Pakura

Pakura was welcomed inside.

Sakurako warmly invited Pakura to sit down in the living room, and then went to make her some tea.

Her actions made Pakura very embarrassed.

You're too kind.

Pakura is more used to a more relaxed style, but unfortunately, the customs of Leaf Village are completely different from those of Sand Village. There are many more customs here, so she doesn't usually go out much. After all, the customs are different, and she doesn't feel quite comfortable there.

Honestly, in her opinion, some things in Leaf Village are overly meticulous.

But to our surprise, the people of Hidden Mist Village are even more particular about their lifestyle than those of Leaf Village.

Watching that slender figure bustling about in the kitchen, Pakura, knowing her background, felt quite sympathetic.

A moment later, Sakurako came over carrying a cup of brewed tea.

"Thank you." Pakura thanked her as she accepted the tea Sakurako offered.

"No, I don't deserve it." Sakurako sat down opposite Pakura, her large, dark eyes looking at Pakura. "Lord Pakura, you're too kind."

"Is that so..." Pakura thought to himself, holding the teacup with both hands.

When we fought the Mist Ninja, I felt that the people of Kirigakure were not normal. This girl named Sakurako, who is from a ninja clan, is like this. You can imagine what the others are like.

"Speaking of which, I heard that you and your brother both changed your surnames?"

"We didn't have a surname to begin with, so how can we talk about changing it?" Sakurako said with a smile. "But to be honest, I was still quite worried before the results came out."

No, I didn't see it at all...

Pakura thought to himself.

The reason I came to see Uchiha Shingen today wasn't anything else; I was simply curious because I heard he had learned the Sand Magnet Release.

Moreover, I was thinking of asking about something else while I was at it.

While Pakura was lost in thought, Sakurako was also observing Pakura and reflecting on her own feelings.

This Scorch Release ninja has an absolutely amazing figure. Although her expression is very serious, her body is quite... unconventional, no wonder there are so many rumors about her.

According to Sakurako's understanding, Uchiha Shingen is a body enthusiast, more so than his face.

But above all that is a belief in power, and a dislike for others interfering with his predetermined plans.

Faced with some of the clan's arrangements, Uchiha Shingen would certainly not openly say, "If you don't listen to me, I'll do it myself." More likely, he would achieve the results he wanted through other means.

However, a wild horse will actively choose its rider.

Sakurako had prepared everything well in advance, including her riding gear.

Although she wasn't a ninja, she still knew that you can't fight a battle unprepared.

She always felt that something must have happened between Pakura and Uchiha Shingen; after all, she was a theoretical expert, and Pakura didn't seem like it at all.

Perhaps this spirited horse frequently came into contact with Uchiha Shingen's bow and arrows, and he often rubbed his nose, forehead, and neck with the arrows. He would also occasionally pluck the bowstring gently beside the horse and on its back, allowing the horse to gradually become accustomed to the sound of the bowstring.

Of course, it's also possible that she's oversimplifying things.

After all, a skilled rider has more than just bows and arrows; there are many different types of weapons to choose from, and this diversity of weapons also leads to a diversity of tactics.

This made Sakurako feel very threatened.

The more I look at her, the more I realize she's a woman not to be underestimated.

Sakurako secretly decided that she would find an opportunity to go upstairs and hide all the riding gear later. If there was a mounted archery competition tonight, it would definitely be for the white cavalry.

Bai was invited by Uchiha Setsuna to spend the night Uchiha Setsuna Elder Setsuna's house.

Everything is ready except for the final push.

Thinking of this, Sakurako looked at Pakura, a sudden burning desire appearing in her eyes.

This was also the moment when Uchiha Shingen had just stepped out of the Fugaku.

He received gifts from Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.

In Uchiha Fugaku's words, he was tired, so he asked his two sons to see him off.

However, Uchiha Shingen was thinking about how to give Uchiha Shisui the position of clan leader candidate before Uchiha Fugaku retired.

In fact, among the Uchiha Clan, Uchiha Shisui was the most authentic and legitimate.

The current system is based on Senju Tobirama. The few people chosen by Senju Tobirama to be his guards are the highest power circle that Senju Tobirama created for Leaf Village. Kagami Uchiha is in this circle. As Kagami Uchiha's descendant, Uchiha Shisui has a natural affinity with the Hokage Building.

In the original timeline, only Shimura Danzō in the Hokage Building treated him badly; everyone else genuinely considered him one of their own.

As for having learned the "Three Divine Weapons" and having already slept with so many times, it's perfectly normal for him to sleep with his own clan leader.

"Alright, that's enough. You've dropped us off here." Uchiha Shingen shook his head and waved his hand. "You two must be tired too, go back and get some rest."

"Uncle Shingen... Brother." Uchiha Sasuke, who was about to call him "uncle" out of habit, changed his address under Uchiha Shingen's threatening gaze. "You and Father have been talking about divine artifacts. What kind of divine artifact requires training?"

Good question!

"Because that's Ninjutsu. As for whether it's a divine weapon or not, that's just a verbal description." Uchiha Shingen patted Uchiha Sasuke's head. "Also, you have to call me brother, you know? Why are you so concerned about family hierarchy at such a young age? You need to know that if everyone started seriously using family hierarchy, you wouldn't be able to greet anyone when you go out."

The precocious little brat Indra somehow figured out that, based on the family ties, he should call himself uncle, and so he started calling him that.

Uncle, are you out of your mind? Should I call you "Little Ancestor"?

I'll stay sixteen forever!

"Oh..." Uchiha Sasuke confused. Wasn't it said that properly addressing one's relatives was a sign of politeness?

"While I was away, did you train properly?" Uchiha Shingen thought that since he had run into him anyway, he might as well check his studies.

After all, asking children how many points they scored on their tests is a common practice during the Chinese New Year.

"Yes, I do." Speaking of training, Uchiha Sasuke excited. "Shingen- nii, what you taught me is amazing! I can beat two Naruto now!"

No, you can't, you're just bragging.

Because I saw it all, you two were evenly matched, one pulling hair and the other pulling down pants.

However, Uchiha Shingen didn't expose him, because if the brat were exposed, he might become even more bratty because he was too embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm exhausted today, I need to rest," said Uchiha Shingen, then bid farewell to the brothers and headed towards Sakurako's house.

Although he was very tired, he had good hygiene habits and would always take a shower before going to bed.

During this break, I can also check on Bai's cultivation progress.

This is his legitimate disciple from his second playthrough; he can't afford to embarrass him.

Chapter Ten: Sakurako, Good at Summarizing

To be honest, this was the first time Uchiha Shingen had ever stayed at someone else's house during his second playthrough.

Although I felt this arrangement was unnecessary, I accepted it because it was conveniently located nearby.

The thought of once again showcasing his masterful teaching skills filled Uchiha Shingen with enthusiasm.

When I arrived at Sakurako's house, it was still brightly lit inside.

He went up and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly.

Uchiha Shingen habitually looked down.

However, he didn't see Bai's inquisitive eyes, but only a pair of thighs encased in flesh-colored stockings, and a pair of small, delicate feet that were light and alluring.

"Sakurako, where's Shiro?" Uchiha Shingen, who was a bit too enthusiastic about being a teacher, was slightly disappointed.

"What a waste of a trip Uchiha Setsuna Elder Setsuna's house." Sakurako's face was flushed.

"Are you exercising at home?" Uchiha Shingen looked at her suspiciously. "But why do I hear someone talking?"

He peered inside, still somewhat unwilling to give up, hoping it was just a prank, a deliberate attempt to surprise him by hiding.

He was starting to understand why Senju Tobirama's art style was completely different when he was a master.

For ninjas like him and Senju Tobirama who are obsessed with planning, it's fine when they don't take on apprentices, but once they do, they become particularly determined to mold their apprentices into the way they envision them.

Seeing his apprentice move in that direction, even making the smallest progress, gives him a great sense of accomplishment.

Why do some people on Blue Star enjoy playing simulation games? The reason is the same.
