Something That Has Never Happened Before / The Uchiha and Peace Are Mortal Enemies

This time, he took the two of them to the Uchiha Clan's training ground.

The lush forest, bathed in moonlight, has a unique charm.

If you ignore the big cat with half its head sticking out of the treetop.

Matatabi wasn't asleep at this moment, because it had just left the group and hadn't had a chance to sleep at all.

"Shingen, is something the matter?"

"The Matatabi asked curiously."

Uchiha Shingen suddenly appeared with his men, so it decided to go to sleep later.

Matatabi carefully examined the people around Uchiha Shingen.

It's familiar with Sasuke, but not with Naruto.

"No, you're sleeping here tonight?" Uchiha Shingen hadn't come specifically to see Matatabi; it was just a coincidence.

"Mmm." Matatabi nodded, then looked at Uchiha Sasuke, who seemed eager to climb on it, and asked, "Are you going to use the Cursed Seal on Sasuke?"

If it were Uchiha Sasuke, Matatabi would be very willing to give Chakra.

Although the Tailed Beasts are almost never happy to Jinchūriki use their Chakra for free, they are actually indifferent to Chakra itself, since they have plenty of it.

They wouldn't give it away for free; they insisted on absorbing each other's energy. It had nothing to do with Chakra; it was purely a matter of personal grudges between beasts.

Matatabi, due to the lack of Jinchūriki of Uchiha Shingen, he was willing to allow those Uchiha Clan ninjas with Cursed Seal to use his Chakra.

It wasn't that it was showing off; those people's Chakra usage was really limited, and with that little amount, it didn't really feel anything, having gotten used to Uchiha Shingen.

"Sasuke still needs more training," Uchiha Shingen chuckled.

Not only Uchiha Sasuke, but Naruto Uzumaki also needs to be marked with Cursed Seal.

The power that the two children displayed using the Tailed Beast Chakra in their original timeline cannot be ignored.

The main reason why Uchiha Shingen confiscated the Perfect Jinchuriki technology he had stolen from Kumogakure and insisted on giving it to the Uzumaki Clan was that the Uchiha Clan did not need the Perfect Jinchuriki technology.

On the other hand, the power of the Tailed Beasts is related to the harmony of the village, so it is best to give this technology to the Uzumaki Clan.

Of course, he genuinely looked down on it. Although he suggested to the Minato couple that they should focus on the Perfect Jinchuriki technique, that was from the Hokage's perspective.

In his heart, Uchiha Shingen disliked Jinchūriki, but he was optimistic about the two children's future in using the power of the Tailed Beasts, so letting them use the Cursed Seal was the best way.

Therefore, they need to be trained relentlessly.

Naruto Uzumaki Uchiha Sasuke was no less of a monster. However, the fact that Uchiha Shingen was raising the protagonist from the original timeline did not mean he was insecure. On the contrary, it was precisely because he was confident and not afraid of the Ōtsutsuki Clan that he did it.

He might want to beat someone up, but he also needs to have all the necessary insurance.

"Naruto, this is Matatabi. You two have met today, so come on, say hello." Uchiha Shingen said to Naruto Uzumaki.

He would absolutely not agree to let Naruto Uzumaki become Jinchūriki again in this timeline, but he still needed to maintain a good relationship with the child and the Tailed Beasts.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Sage of Six Paths will still belong to Naruto Uzumaki.

The Cursed Seal is a technique used by Uchiha Shingen, and it records all traces of what happens within it.

If Naruto Uzumaki can obtain the Sage of Six Paths through the Cursed Seal, then Uchiha Shingen can also obtain it.

The Six Paths Senjutsu cannot be learned through practice alone; you have to seduce someone!

Chapter Fifty-Eight Never Before

Generally speaking, an adult would feel somewhat embarrassed to solicit sex from a child.

But Uchiha Shingen had the nerve—to be precise—to be allowed to seduce Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, he spared Naruto Uzumaki from the tragic fate of becoming Jinchūriki.

Being disliked? That's nothing compared to the Jinchūriki's own tragic life.

For example, the Sand Village, Iwagakure, and Hidden Mist Village developed the power of the Tailed Beasts based on researching and analyzing their power to deduce related Ninjutsu. However, it is obvious that the Tailed Beasts would not be so obedient as to allow ninjas to study them. Therefore, what was studied were the Jinchūriki.

If the First Nine-Tails Jinchuriki hadn't happened to be Senju Hashirama's wife, Hidden Leaf Village might very well have followed the same path.

Senju Tobirama naturally knew which path would yield the fastest return on investment, but could he really research his own sister-in-law? So he had no choice but to reluctantly conduct the Wood Release experiments.

Only Kumogakure, due to insufficient initial resources, conceived the idea of developing Jinchūriki into proper combat weapons.

Thus Perfect Jinchuriki was born.

This is Naruto Uzumaki's original path in the original timeline. Without the power-up from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, he would most likely have become the strongest and most Perfect Jinchuriki, becoming a top-tier ninja in the Ninja World with his Shadow Clone Rasengan, Shuriken, and basic attacks.

However, the existence of Perfect Jinchuriki does not mean that becoming Jinchūriki is a good thing.

The term "Jinchūriki" originates from the concept of "human jinchūriki".

Initially, people offered living people as sacrifices to the gods regularly in order to ensure a peaceful life. Later, it gradually evolved into the use of living people for sacrifices in engineering construction, also known as driving live stakes. The people used for sacrifices were usually tied to the stakes, which were called human pillars, meaning sacrifices.

During the Warring States period, when the Ninja clan moved to build a new house, they would also kill a few people and bury them there for good luck.

In the first playthrough Uchiha Shingen moved many times, and each time the Senju Clan would go out of their way to hunt human jinchūriki. This custom was not abolished until Senju Hashirama the clan head.

The kind of thing that Jinchūriki, derived from this concept, is obviously something else entirely.

This technology was not developed to allow humans to freely use the power of the Tailed Beasts, but rather to seal the Tailed Beasts within the human body, preventing them from using their Chakra.

For a Jinchūriki, the Chakra of Tailed Beasts is usually not an advantage but a burden. When using the Tailed Beast Chakra, what they should worry about most is the Tailed Beasts, not the enemy.

In the original timeline known as Naruto: Shippuden, Naruto Uzumaki initially seemed to be far behind Uchiha Sasuke. A significant factor was that Jiraiya's teachings to him focused primarily on how to effectively suppress and extract the Nine-Tails 'Chakra. Only after Naruto resolved this issue and was freed from his burdens did he soar to new heights.

Only those who can fully control the power of the Tailed Beasts dare to use their Jinchūriki at will Chakra Tailed Beasts, such as the Fourth Mizukage, Karatachi Yagura.

If it weren't for the Kumogakure accidentally developing the Perfect Jinchuriki technology that completely overturned the Jinchūriki, and if it weren't for Killer B, a master who could both fully control the power of the Tailed Beasts and communicate with them, Karatachi Yagura should have been the first person to manipulate Tailed Beasts after the God of Shinobi and the Leaf Village Asura.

However, in this timeline, Killer B was unlucky; he disappeared before he could even emit light.

In the original timeline Naruto Uzumaki was primarily focused on emotional connection, but in this timeline, he didn't become Jinchūriki. With Uchiha Shingen's Juinjutsu, he only needed to focus on emotional connection.

Uchiha Shingen's gaze kept shifting between Matatabi and Naruto Uzumaki.

He was curious and looking forward to seeing what kind of sparks would fly between Naruto Uzumaki and Matatabi at their first meeting.

But he was going to be disappointed.

Because Naruto Uzumaki Matatabi, he didn't know what to say when faced with the giant beast before him.

Uchiha Sasuke, however, is faster than Naruto Uzumaki.

He knows it well.

"Matatabi grandma!"

With a loud, triumphant roar, Uchiha Sasuke happily ran towards Matatabi.

Matatabi saw Uchiha Sasuke hopping and skipping towards him, he skillfully extended his claws, caught Uchiha Sasuke, and then naturally placed him on his head...

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

He was too hasty; he forgot about Uchiha Sasuke's reaction.

The Uchiha Sasuke of this timeline has an extremely eccentric personality, completely unlike his counterpart in the original timeline.

Naruto Uzumaki to the side, looked on with envy.

It's also a bit sour.

At the same time, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized that he had just lost to that lousy Sasuke!

So he wanted to jump up too.

Matatabi, a pair of large eyes immediately looked over, their eyes filled with the implication that "you'd better think it through before you jump."

In Leaf Village, aside from the Uchiha Clan children, only Uchiha Shingen is allowed to stand above it.

Other two-legged beasts are out of the question.

Although Naruto Uzumaki in this timeline is still incredibly mischievous, he's also a clever kid. With Matatabi's big eyes, he clearly received Matatabi's gaze and immediately stopped his lower body.

He'd made up his mind; he wouldn't jump.

At the same time, she felt extremely wronged, believing she was being targeted.

"Naruto, what's wrong?" Uchiha Sasuke's voice sounded concerned and surprised; if you didn't look at his expression, it would probably be something like that.

"Come on up!" he called out. "The view here is amazing!"

Naruto Uzumaki and looked at Uchiha Shingen.

"Brother Shingen, look at Sasuke!"

Uchiha Shingen's face began to darken.

Especially when he heard Uchiha Sasuke on Matatabi's head start shouting, "No way? No way? There can't be a ninja who can't jump over this distance, can there?"

Uchiha Shingen jumped up with a dark expression, grabbed Uchiha Sasuke, and then landed him back on the ground.

"I sent you here for training, where are you running off to?" he scolded. "If you don't behave, you won't be able to touch a pen for a year."

Uchiha Sasuke immediately became obedient.

Uchiha Mikoto made similar threats countless times, Uchiha Sasuke was already tired of hearing about them, but he never took them seriously.

But coming from Uchiha Shingen, these words are highly credible, after all... Uchiha Sasuke's friends in Ryūchi Cave wouldn't listen to Uchiha Mikoto, but they would listen to Uchiha Shingen.

Uchiha Shingen waved to Matatabi, then led the two children in another direction.

That area has artificial facilities, namely various indoor training grounds, not the simulated battle arena here.

He had a clear idea of the training plan, with the original timeline as a reference.

While Uchiha Shingen began targeting the reincarnations of Indra and Asura Chakra, a massive battle royale was unfolding in the Land of Waterfalls, far from Leaf Village.

Two burly men entered this land of a thousand waterfalls, attempting to use the waterfall environment to escape their pursuers from behind.

Of course, they also harbored the idea of shifting the blame elsewhere.

However, if they saw the current state of those who were pursuing them, and compared it to themselves, they would probably understand that their ability to enter the Land of Waterfalls was not due to their superior escape skills.

After all, no one has ever managed to escape from under the nose of the Leaf Village Asura's Shura since the end of the Warring States period.

Chapter 59 The Uchiha Clan and Peace Are Incompatible

On the border of the Land of Waterfalls, two ninjas gaze at a distant waterfall.

"Aren't we going to get closer?" Nagato asked Uchiha Madara, looking at the white curtain of water in the distance.

"No need," Uchiha Madara said. "Let's wait until they get close to Takigakure before we make our move."

He had previously captured a member of Leaf Village Hidden Leaf Village ANBU learned that the village had officially begun "recovering" the Tailed Beasts.

Uchiha Madara was not surprised at all. Leaf Village would definitely do the same if the Uchiha Clan became the Hokage clan. If it were a Senju Clan member, such as Hashirama's granddaughter, they would probably just do some underhanded tricks.

That's normal. The Senju Clan are all women, while the Uchiha Clan are the real men—except for the generation before he died.

This wasn't Uchiha Madara's first time in the Land of Waterfalls; he had fought many people here before.

I also learned that someone actually went there to assassinate Hashirama later.

They're quite good at picking people, because that idiot Hashirama usually doesn't chase after fleeing enemies.

But why were you so diligent when you were pursuing him? What a jerk!

However, upon returning to this place, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but recall many things.

In his Impure World Reincarnation state, he regained his youthful appearance, but psychologically, he remained an old man.

Older people tend to have very good memories.

Nagato was actually quite bothered by this, because the Uchiha Clan would always look at him rudely after reminiscing.

So what if you were born in the Warring States period? You think only men from the Warring States period are good men and ninjas from the ninja village are trash?

Why didn't you just kill Uchiha Shingen?

Nagato had wanted to ask that question several times.

However, Uchiha Madara's memory didn't last long this time; he quickly returned to normal.

Let's go.

Uchiha Madara said something.
