Third Brother, hurry up and go to the battlefield with me!

By some coincidence, a large patch of it grew behind the Uchiha Ancestral Hall, a piece of news no one knew about besides the Uchiha clan itself.

The next day, tactical mobilization began.

Everyone went about their business in a hurry, and Uchiha Yuan also sensed this slightly tense atmosphere.

Could it be that a war has started? Who are we fighting this time?

They had just finished fighting the Senju a week ago, so it was unlikely they would fight again immediately. Thus, it was only possible they were targeting those minor clans.

Information was too scarce for Uchiha Yuan to figure it out, so he simply stopped pondering deeply. Anyway, he was a " wounded patient" and none of this concerned him.

"Third Brother! Third Brother!"

"Hurry up and come with me to the battlefield to kill the enemy!"

Uchiha Yuan: ??

Looking at Izuna who had broken in, Uchiha Yuan kept his little mouth open, dumbfounded for a moment.

"What are you daydreaming for? Hurry up and come with me to the battlefield."

Hiss!

Uchiha Yuan could not understand the thought process of this ready-made second brother. What on earth made him think he would go to the battlefield with him?

He reached out a finger to point at Izuna, then pointed at his own head wrapped in gauze, staring back and forth with Izuna in a mutual blank stare.

"Shouldn't your injury be almost healed by now?"

"No, not healed, it hurts a lot. Fractured bones take a hundred days to heal, let alone the most important head. I think I need at least half a year to get better."

"..."

Izuna was speechless. If he hadn't seen you refining chakra earlier, he almost would have believed it!

"This excuse is too far-fetched. Weren't you fighting tooth and nail to go to the battlefield earlier? Why all of a sudden..."

Izuna was carefree, but that didn't mean his IQ was low. On the contrary, he was also very smart and quickly figured it out.

"You still haven't recovered from the blow?"

Blow? What blow? Uchiha Yuan didn't know where this ready-made second brother's mind had wandered off to again, but since he had found an excuse for him, it was quite save-effort.

So he put on the appearance of having suffered a blow, slumped his face dispiritedly, and sighed.

"Sigh~"

This... how was this different from what Big Brother said? Didn't he say he had already walked it off? But looking at this appearance, it didn't look like he was faking it, did it?

Izuna was very anxious. This psychological trauma was much more serious than physical injury. It would be bad if some extreme thoughts popped up.

"Third Brother! Don't be like this! Isn't it just failing once? Next time, Second Brother will personally help you teach that bastard Tobirama a lesson and smash his head..."

You better not! Uchiha Yuan quickly stopped him from jinxing it. This ready-made second brother seemed to have been sliced by Tobirama in Naruto history.

"It's fine, Second Brother. I just need time to ease into it and improve my strength within the clan along the way. When the time comes, I'll defeat him with my own hands."

"Whew~ That's more like it. Then get some rest. I have to hurry over, otherwise the team will run far away in a moment."

The Uchiha were a clan skilled in battle and never dragged their feet when fighting. The plan established yesterday had its departure organized today.

Uchiha Yuan watched Izuna dash out in a fiery rush, deep in thought.

There shouldn't be any danger. Setting out fully prepared in such a short time means the number of people going on the expedition won't be too large, and this time the target's distance won't be too far either.

A ninja clan not far from the Uchiha—the Kaguya? Or the Ino–Shika–Cho? Shiranui? Or something else?

Screw it, as long as it isn't the Senju. Besides, in Naruto history, there weren't many formidable figures in the Warring States period anyway.

During this period, Uchiha Yuan had come to terms with reality. Since he was now an Uchiha, he had to think for the Uchiha—not for anything else, but for this sentiment of protecting his safe growth.

After the battle against the Kaguya.

All of a sudden, the number of people within the clan visibly decreased.

Uchiha Yuan slowly resumed a two-point-one-line lifestyle, running back and forth between the training ground and the ward.

Under unremitting efforts, the breathing technique finally showed some promise.

Calculated altogether, it took only three to five days. This was thanks to his soul power.

He never expected his body's control to be so strong, and his memory and mental calculation abilities were also absurdly high.

Could this thing be my cheat? Double soul power? But... isn't this a benefit that transmigrators are supposed to have in the first place?

Researching the soul was still too far off. Fortunately, for the present moment, all the benefits it brought were real.

He could now achieve two things at once and was gradually moving towards three, and he felt the room for upward growth was very large.

The breathing technique was named the Yuan Breathing Method by Uchiha Yuan. Its effect could use chakra to imperceptibly strengthen the cells and enhance the physical body.

Moreover, because of his experience in controlling bodily meridians, he currently planned to start training to release ninjutsu without hand seals.

The ninjutsu that best fits the chakra flow state under normal physical conditions should be the easiest to achieve seal-less effects, but I have too few jutsus.

All things considered, Uchiha Yuan currently knew fewer than ten moves. The Three-Body Technique didn't count; this stuff was street trash that any ninja knew.

Uchiha Yuan's gaze drifted, slowly resting on the Uchiha Scroll Archive.

However, that place was heavily guarded, with four Jōnin monitoring in the dark and two Chunin clansmen guarding the door outside.

As for whether there were other arrangements, Uchiha Yuan wasn't sure. Ninjutsu was a clan's lifeline, and no amount of emphasis on it was too much.

Charging in by force was definitely a lost cause, and he didn't know if he even had the clearance to enter.

Uchiha Yuan didn't hide his figure, simply walking up to the entrance of the Scroll Archive in a swaggering manner.

"Ahem, well, I'd like to go in and learn a few ninjutsu."

The two guards looked at each other.

"Lord Yuan, it's not that we won't let you learn, but entering and exiting here requires the Patriarch's warrant. Otherwise, not even the heir apparent can enter casually."

"...Is that so?"

Uchiha Yuan scratched his head without pestering them, decisively leaving crestfallen.

The two guards exchanged glances, and after Uchiha Yuan walked far away, they whispered:

"Looks like his head was hurt pretty badly, he even forgot the clan rules."

"No kidding, and I feel like he's gotten a bit dumber too. He clearly forgot who the two of us are."

Uchiha Yuan: ...

Ninjutsu couldn't be learned; he still had to wait for his ready-made old man to finish fighting and bring the clansmen home.

Furthermore, Uchiha Yuan still remembered that Izuna seemed to have mentioned teaching him the Fire Dragon Bullet.

"Time waits for no one. I wonder when they'll be back. Logically speaking, fighting a minor clan shouldn't take this long, right?"

Just as he returned to his ward and was about to study his Sharingan, lively voices came from outside.

"Hahaha, those Kaguya weaklings, taking them down was as easy as pie."

"Izuna, you can't lower your guard against any enemy."

"I know, I know. You only know how to lecture me, I've already grown up."

The voices weren't hidden, and Uchiha Yuan knew these were the voices of Izuna and Madara. His heart instantly accelerated, unsure of how to react.

Whew~

I am the Third Brother! I am the Third Brother! I am an Uchiha! I am an Uchiha!

After hurriedly planting a strong psychological suggestion in himself, he finally wasn't quite as nervous, and at that moment the room door was pushed open.
