Senju Wuzu Is Convinced It's Settled
Adhering to the fine tradition of "killing anything you've never seen before first," Pakura almost used his "Burning Scorch Release" technique on the spot.
If the children hadn't been there, she would have been truly pathetic.
However, after learning that the thing in front of her was the Black Zetsu that Sakurako had mentioned, Pakura's attitude changed completely.
If it's one of our own, then you can't say it's full of villainous vibes; it has to be a healthy kind of dark humor.
Uchiha Shingen was speechless at his wife's rapid change of attitude.
The two children weren't afraid of Black Zetsu at all; in fact, they were quite affectionate towards him.
For children of this age, the title of "Dad's friend" can dissolve all their defensiveness.
The thoughtful Sakurako quickly suggested taking the children to visit Uchiha Setsuna's family.
Uchiha Shingen was slightly uneasy about this, after all, there was a huge bomb lurking there. However, he knew Uchiha Madara's personality; he was incredibly arrogant. Even though he had become a black hand, he wouldn't harm a child. Besides, this place was under his nose, so he agreed.
Seeing that everyone had left, Pakura decided to go out and see if there was anything he could help with at the Police Force.
After all, the strong sense of collusion between Black Zetsu and Uchiha Shingen was a bit jarring.
Pakura, on the other hand, is a person who avoids disturbing her husband and is a bad influence.
After the two of them were left at home, Uchiha Shingen didn't care whether Black Zetsu could eat or not. He brewed a pot of tea, made a plate of peanuts and some biscuits, and then calmly sat back down on the sofa.
Then the scene described above occurred.
Black Zetsu observed Uchiha Shingen's completely unhurried demeanor, wondering what Uchiha Madara would do next, while also feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Uchiha Shingen's unhurried pace.
"You seem quite relaxed."
"Otherwise what?" Uchiha Shingen retorted. "We're about to go to war, how can we not conserve our strength?"
"How do you plan to conserve your energy?" Black Zetsu said. "It's about time you woke up. You're already being watched by Hagoromo, and he won't let you ruin his plans."
"Old Black, do you have paranoia?" Uchiha Shingen put down his teacup. "Putting aside whether he's watching me or not, Naruto and Sasuke are both fine now. How bored must the Sage of Six Paths be to ignore his own children and turn his attention to me? Besides, even if he were watching me, wouldn't he be watching you by now?"
Hagoromo Otsutsuki didn't know how Uchiha Shingen viewed himself.
However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's view on Black Zetsu was that he would send him to reunite with Kaguya Otsutsuki if given the chance.
In Hagoromo Otsutsuki's eyes, nothing was more important than sealing off Kaguya Otsutsuki.
However, thinking even more wildly, it's not entirely impossible that Black Zetsu was specifically kept by Hagoromo Otsutsuki for his son to level up.
It's highly likely that Hagoromo Otsutsuki didn't expect that Uchiha Madara, in his old age, could still draw upon his Chakra to obtain the Rinnegan.
Now, with the Rinnegan at his disposal, Uchiha Shingen is confident in facing all the storms to come. As long as Kaguya Otsutsuki is not released, he has nothing to fear.
"He can't catch me," Black Zetsu said dismissively, then added, "If you don't care about this, fine, but what about the Tailed Beasts from the other villages?"
"What you're saying is a set of principles established by the First Hokage. Only the Hokage can change them. What else can I do?"
"Stop pretending, I know everything. You've already collected most of the Chakra from the Tailed Beasts."
Black Zetsu felt he had misplaced his trust.
Uchiha Shingen didn't tell it the truth.
Uchiha Shingen clearly possessed the Chakra of several Tailed Beasts, including the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails.
The Chakra of these two Tailed Beasts is more than the total chakra of all the other Tailed Beasts combined.
Uchiha Shingen continues collecting, he will one day gather all the Tailed Beast Chakra.
"I did manage to collect some," Uchiha Shingen decided to reveal a bit more. "However, the Three-Tails hasn't been resurrected yet. Strictly speaking, of the Nine Tailed Beasts, I'm just lucky enough to possess a portion of the Chakra of four of them. The only one willing to help me is Matatabi."
Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Shingen with disdain, his expression saying—keep bragging!
It watched the sparring match between Uchiha Shingen and Uchiha Madara.
That was clearly the Chakra of the four Tailed Beasts that he could completely control. Uchiha Shingen could even use the abilities of the four Tailed Beasts through Susanoo!
While Black Zetsu was trying to get information out of Uchiha Shingen, Senju Muzoku, along with Tsunade, had already begun visiting various places within the Uchiha Clan Compound.
Although Tsunade hadn't returned to the village for a long time, most of the Uchiha Clan ninjas actually recognized her, and upon seeing Tsunade, they Senju Muzoku's question for directions.
The Uchiha Clan of this era may not necessarily know Senju Muzoku, but most of them do know Tsunade.
There was no other way; in this village, there were far too many ninjas whose lives had been saved by Tsunade, either directly or indirectly.
When Tsunade saved the person, she didn't care whether the person was a ninja clan or which clan they belonged to.
As a result, she became incredibly popular in the village, largely due to her own achievements, and not entirely because she was Senju Hashirama Senju's granddaughter.
In the original timeline, Tsunade succeeded as Hokage, a decision that was widely expected.
Tsunade hadn't gotten into trouble, Shimura Danzō wouldn't have had a chance to cause trouble.
Moreover, Senju Muzoku was merely asking these Uchiha Clan where Uchiha Shingen's clan was located.
[Tsk tsk tsk, doing so well...]
Having seen countless people, Senju Muzoku Muzu could basically deduce from the attitudes of these Uchiha Clan that Uchiha Shingen, who was highly suspected to be his reincarnation, had almost reached the point of having a large following within the Uchiha Clan.
That's good.
Just one final confirmation is all that's needed.
Following the directions given by the crowd, Senju Muzoku and Tsunade finally arrived at the door of Uchiha Shingen's residence.
"Uncle Wuzu, what's Wu Zu with you?" Tsunade finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She didn't understand why the Senju Muzoku had brought her to the Uchiha Clan Compound.
Could it be that she thinks she can become friends with the Uchiha Clan?
Honestly, she doesn't lack friends, nor does she want too many.
The Uchiha Clan today also has no shortage of friends.
"Me? Just visiting." Senju Muzoku said matter-of-factly, "We've caught bad guys together before, visiting each other is perfectly normal."
Tsunade: "... You know that's not what I'm asking."
"You're just too serious." Senju Muzoku shook his head and stepped forward to knock on the door.
Chapter Sixty-Three: The Senju Muzoku Feels It's Solid Evidence
The knocking interrupted Uchiha Shingen and Black Zetsu's pointless slacking off.
"Someone's coming at a time like this?" Uchiha Shingen put on a genuinely puzzled expression, put down his teacup, and stood up.
"Hey Blackie, wait a minute, I'll go open the door."
"..." Black Zetsu respond, but he was already prepared to disappear underground at any moment.
This Leaf Village Uchiha Madara, but it is still dangerous to it.
Black Zetsu a natural creature; theoretically, it is the embodiment of Yin-Yang Release. However, as a technique, it also has weaknesses.
Although the ninjas didn't understand it, Ninjutsu was all derived from Yin-Yang Release, so they could still damage it.
No one would willingly allow themselves to be hurt if there's nothing wrong with them.
Over the course of a thousand years, Black Zetsu has basically tried all the mainstream Ninjutsu.
Uchiha Shingen walked to the entrance and opened the door.
If he was still putting on an act just now, he was genuinely surprised when he saw the people at the door.
"Yo." The Senju Muzoku standing at the door waved his hand at him. "Long time no see, my darling..."
Boom!
The windows of nearby buildings were rattling loudly.
"Wu Zu, you can't joke like that." Uchiha Shingen looked at Senju Muzoku smile.
Damn, was my first-time self really this stupid? Just spouting nonsense like that?
Uchiha Shingen glanced at Tsunade beside Senju Muzoku and began to wonder what kind of mess he was going to make in the first playthrough.
"You actually used your fists on a centenarian living alone like me?" Senju Uchiha Shingen Senju Muzoku. "Have some respect for the elderly and care for the young. Did you waste your school education?"
The fist of Chakra that was coming down from above was caught by Senju Muzoku his left hand.
This is extending from Uchiha Shingen's right shoulder.
Upon hearing the noise, Black Zetsu immediately rushed out, but upon seeing the scene at the door, his expression vanished, and he became expressionless.
He turned and went back to the living room.
Worrying about someone who can argue with your past life is undoubtedly a waste of time.
Although it never needs to eat, the principle is the same.
It's like seeing someone fighting with their own Shadow Clone; nobody would even glance at it.
"Lord Muzu, if I remember Wu Zu, you never went to school either," Uchiha Shingen said with a half-smile.
He figured that this "Impure World Shadow Clone" had probably already noticed.
Because this wasn't his usual way of doing things in his first playthrough.
He retracted Susanoo's arm.
"But I was a school principal," the Senju Muzoku chuckled. "Being a principal makes you so great, why don't you go be one too?"
He was quite satisfied to see Uchiha Shingen using Susanoo so skillfully.
My own reincarnation is incredibly powerful.
That's good; taking care of Tsunade will be no problem at all.
Just as Uchiha Shingen was putting himself in the scene to guess his thoughts, he was doing the same thing.
A lifetime is a lifetime, especially when positions are reversed.
If Uchiha Shingen wasn't his own reincarnation, then his actions shouldn't have been like this.
Only in this way can we explain why Uchiha Shingen would choose to coexist with the Third's group in this manner, even when he was no longer at a disadvantage in terms of power.
"Please come in, Wu Zu, Lady Tsunade." Uchiha Shingen stepped aside, gesturing for them to enter.
I can't stop myself, and I certainly can't stop Tsunade.
We finally made it back to the village.
"Lady Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya busy?" Uchiha Shingen couldn't help but ask.
Honestly, he thought it would be great if Tsunade and Jiraiya got together.
Jiraiya goes without saying; Tsunade definitely had feelings for Jiraiya.
After all, Jiraiya had implicitly achieved the idea that, in principle, as long as a man is thick-skinned enough, there is no girl he can't win over, unless they are really mismatched.
That's how that scene from the original timeline came about.
Tsunade's gambling skills aren't gambling skills, they're prophetic techniques.
"Hmm," Tsunade replied casually.
She definitely wouldn't have come if she hadn't been dragged along by Senju Muzoku.
In the present-day Hidden Leaf Village, the Uchiha Clan and the Hokage are inextricably linked by a tragic fate.
After the Second Shinobi World War, the Legendary Sannin rarely had the opportunity to fight alongside the Uchiha Clan. However, during the Second Shinobi World War, the Legendary Sannin had many opportunities to fight alongside the Uchiha Clan.
After all, the relationship between the Hokage Building and the Uchiha Clan was becoming increasingly tense at the time. As a disciple of the Hokage, fighting alongside the Uchiha Clan ninjas was an important way for Sarutobi Hiruzen a signal of reconciliation to the Uchiha Clan.
If you don't trust me, at least you should believe I wouldn't want to harm my own disciple, right?
It was around that time that Tsunade rescued many Uchiha Clan ninjas.
Similarly, it was during that time that she gained a deeper understanding of the Uchiha Clan. She couldn't see any evil in them at all; rather, it was that they couldn't hide their emotions.
Their likes and dislikes are basically written all over their faces.
Later, the relationship between the Hokage Building and the Uchiha Clan deteriorated again, which Tsunade disapproved of.
When they need someone's help, they call her "sweetie," but when they don't, she's like an old hag?
Once the restart of the Wood Release experiments was exposed, Tsunade completely lost hope in the group of people in the Hokage Building.
Even though Namikaze Minato had succeeded to the position, he was Jiraiya's disciple, Jiraiya Namikaze Minato someone who didn't interfere in affairs, Namikaze Minato truly isolated.
