Uchiha Shingen in a Tough Fight / Uchiha Obito, Cool as a Cucumber

The old house is now inhabited by other ethnic groups.

The house opposite the old one, which originally belonged to Uchiha Obito and was later given to Ye Cang, is now vacant again.

Upon reaching his front door, Uchiha Shingen knocked.

"I'm back!" he called out loudly upon hearing footsteps inside.

The door was immediately opened.

A small figure ran out first and hugged his leg tightly.

Fortunately, Uchiha Shingen was prepared and had lifted the food bag containing the snacks upwards beforehand, otherwise he might have been bumped into.

This is a little girl with silver-white hair, her pigtails sticking up in the air, and when she runs, the rose-colored hair ribbon on her head trembles.

"Koyuki, you can't run around like that," Bai said, his eyes full of affection.

"Brother!" The little girl named Xue, full of intelligence, turned around and hugged Bai's leg, "I'm hungry."

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

Why does this girl look so fat? Didn't you see she was carrying food in her hand?

"Koyuki," he deliberately shook the food bag to make a sound, "Look what Daddy has in his hand?"

Uchiha Yuki looked up and saw the food bag; her big eyes lit up!

"Daddy!" She quickly hugged Uchiha Shingen's leg again, "I want to eat!"

"I'll eat, I'll eat." Uchiha Shingen chuckled. "I'll eat when we get home, but you have to let Dad home first."

At the doorway, Yingzi leaned against the doorframe, smiling sweetly as she watched this scene unfold.

"Koyuki, come to Mommy. If you keep walking like this, Daddy will have trouble walking."

Chapter Ten: Uchiha Shingen Engaged in a Bitter Battle

Upon returning home, Uchiha Shingen first took his things to the kitchen.

When they returned to the living room, Bai was playing with Uchiha Yuki, but the little one wasn't interested in playing; she was more interested in eating.

The little nose sniffed and sniffed, smelling the aroma wafting from the kitchen.

Uchiha Shingen sighed, wondering if he should postpone changing his clothes and prepare food for his daughter first.

"Let's change your clothes first." Sakurako came over and helped him take off his ninja vest. "Koyuki actually just ate some snacks."

"They can eat way too much..." Uchiha Shingen with some concern.

Sakurako took off her vest first, and seeing that Sakurako's hair color was now the same as her daughter's, Uchiha Shingen could only say...

Chakra truly amazing.

I practiced Ice Release, and it turned my wife's hair all white, even after our daughter was born...

This was truly unexpected; that final move awakened Ice Release.

So what if I've awakened? What's the principle behind the hair color change?

At the time, he thought he was firing an ice age rather than a human cannon, which is why he froze Sakurako.

However, the couple was indeed very worried about their daughter's health, because Sakurako conceived during this process, and they didn't know if it would have any impact on their daughter.

But as of now, apart from her naturally silver hair, Uchiha Yuki seems perfectly normal and is quite lively.

Silver hair itself isn't unusual, unless you were born into the Uchiha Clan.

The Uchiha Clan's hair color is a strong genetic trait, and they have always been an all-black clan.

Someone like Uchiha Yuki is truly rare.

In contrast, her one-year-old son already looks like Uchiha Clan.

"Where's Yosuke? Still sleeping?"

"Yes, she's sleeping soundly," Sakurako said.

Uchiha Shingen had a son and a daughter. His daughter, Uchiha Yuki, was his child with Sakurako, and his son, Uchiha Yosuke, was his child with Pakura.

The two children have completely different personalities.

My daughter is carefree and lively.

Although his son is only one year old, he already looks like a little adult. Uchiha Shingen is looking forward to seeing how high his son's wisdom value will be when the time comes.

Pakura wasn't home; she was out on a mission.

When Uchiha Shingen got married, it wasn't a big affair, not because he married two wives at the same time.

This world is ultimately a feudal society. At the same time, because all countries value population, and every war reduces the young population, especially the male population, a lot. Although monogamy has become the social mainstream, polygamy is still legal in the system. This is especially true for the ninja clan, which values population.

However, Uchiha Shingen didn't like having a bunch of people he barely knew at his wedding.

Moreover, although he made the choice and took the initiative to marry two wives at the same time, he still felt that he was doing something very bad.

Compared to him, his two wives were much more open-minded.

As natives of this world, Sakurako and Pakura didn't see anything wrong with polygamy. Pakura was initially resistant to Sakurako because she thought Sakurako was no good, just an ordinary person who would be a weakness in the family. But after Sakurako awakened her Ice Release, Pakura felt it was acceptable.

Because Sakurako can use Chakra after awakening Ice Release.

Of course, Pakura's ability to take things so lightly is also related to the fact that Uchiha Shingen's lifestyle habits began to change.

Pakura never cared about systems or other people's opinions; she valued people, and only people.

She's fine with anything she finds pleasing to the eye.

Uchiha Shingen's performance made her feel that she hadn't chosen the wrong person.

Since establishing relationships with the two, the legend of the master has ceased in the commercial district.

When it does appear, it's purely for business purposes.

This was a great disappointment to the merchants.

After all, many games were invented and popularized by Master Shingen.

Uchiha Shingen, who originally adhered to the principle of not getting married, really changed his style after marriage, especially after having children, which greatly pleased the elders of the Uchiha Clan.

A man only truly matures after having children.

Now that Uchiha Shingen has a child, is there any fear that he won't want to take over as clan leader?

This is also the source of Uchiha Fugaku's confidence in declaring his intention to retire at fifty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to announce his retirement.

If he were to step down from the Uchiha Clan's current position, and if Uchiha Shingen didn't take over, no one else could.

"I'll go check on Yosuke. You should get some more food for Koyuki, or she'll start making a fuss." Uchiha Shingen saw his daughter pacing around the living room, her mouth watering. He felt a headache coming on. After giving Sakurako a word of advice, he slipped away amidst her snickers.

I went upstairs, gently pushed open the door to the child's bedroom, and peeked inside. I was immediately startled.

Uchiha Yosuke was already up. The chubby little guy was sitting on the bed, holding a figure of Uchiha Shingen in his hand, and a figure of the Fourth Raikage in front of his feet.

Figurines are very popular now, and there are even figurines specifically made for children. They are made of soft materials, and the requirements for the materials themselves are very strict to prevent children from eating or playing with them.

Xiao Yosuke didn't eat or play; his eyes were serious, like a great general.

"Ada! Ada!"

He suddenly cried out, waving his little hands.

On the bed, the Fourth Raikage was being brutally beaten by Uchiha Shingen.

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

He truly is worthy of being his son.

At such a young age, he already knows he wants to Raikage.

But Dad, I don't need Jill to hit people!

However, since the child is already awake, there's no need to be so careful.

Uchiha Shingen pushed open the door, revealing a kind smile.

"Yosuke, it's time to eat."

Hearing his father's voice, Uchiha Yosuke, who was focused on striking the Raikage, turned around.

"Dad! Hit him!"

Yosuke held the figure, which was already in a straddle position, high in the air, his tone full of pride.

"Alright, alright, let's fight together after we finish eating." Uchiha Shingen smiled and picked his son up from the bed.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed that his son was unusually quiet, Uchiha Shingen quickly picked him up and held him upright to check on him.

What greeted her was a stern, reproachful, and slightly aggrieved look in her eyes.

Uchiha Shingen suddenly realized.

Oh no! The proper procedures weren't followed immediately!

"Son, you're amazing! You helped Dad beat the bad guys!"

Satisfied with his father's praise, Uchiha Yosuke stopped his silent protests and his glares.

Uchiha Shingen carried the little rascal downstairs to the dining room.

Uchiha Yuki was happily eating when she saw her father carrying her younger brother over, and her little head immediately fell into a great dilemma.

She wanted a hug too.

But she also wanted to eat something delicious.

After agonizing for a long time, she came up with a perfect plan.

Finish your food first, then let your father hug you!

She's so smart!

Uchiha Yuki continued to happily enjoy her meal.

Completely unaware that his daughter was devising such a groundbreaking plan in her little mind, Uchiha Shingen sat down at the dining table with Yosuke in his arms.

Dinner was quite a struggle too!

Chapter Eleven: The Incredibly Steady Uchiha Obito

Uchiha Obito, under the alias Takayama Hizo, has been in Kumogakure for six years.

He demonstrated remarkable patience over those six years.

He patiently Genin from a Cloud Village in Kumogakure to become a Cloud Village leader.

This shows much more patience than back in Kirigakure, where he directly Mizukage.

Of course, with Kamui at his disposal, Uchiha Obito didn't really stay cooped up in Kumogakure.

It's not like I really want to become Cloud Ninja.

Taking advantage of opportunities like leaving the village as Cloud Ninja to carry out missions, he would still try to meet up with Black Zetsu.

And then there's Xiao.

The Ninja World has changed quite a bit in the past six years.

As the power of the three kingdoms of Earth, Fire, and Water continued to rise, the strength of the three major ninja villages— Iwagakure, Leaf Village, and Hidden Mist Village— also soared. The three villages formed an alliance, forming an iron curtain that severed most of the communication channels between Cloud Village and Sand Village.

But beneath this honeymoon facade, the relationship between the three ninja villages is becoming increasingly delicate.

The Land of Fire Trading Merchants Association pocketed nearly half of the profits from trade between the three countries and then used them to support the Land of Fire, further widening the financial gap between this nation, which possesses the richest land on the continent, and other countries.

This financial strength has also fully supported Hidden Leaf Village.

In Iwagakure and Hidden Mist Village, the number of people who are no longer satisfied with "leftovers" is gradually increasing.

The Tsuchikage and Mizukage are still trying to maintain this relationship, but discontent from the lower ranks is gradually growing.

This also gave the Kumogakure an opportunity.

The western desert countries, however, remained silent amidst this clamor.
