Upon hearing this, Senju Tsukika couldn't help but smile.
He can teach a disciple who surpasses him.
This is a very gratifying achievement for every teacher.
But what Lady Mito said also makes sense.
The boy I could beat up in just a few moves when we first met.
Several years have passed, and they have grown up!
Judging from the aura emanating from Uka right now...
It's clear that she may no longer be a match for him!
But I can't control my power... If I don't fight now, I really won't have another chance!
"Alright, it just so happens that we haven't fought each other in a long time."
After replying with a smile, Senju Tsukika disappeared down the corridor.
Master strength, especially physical strength.
If you only rely on techniques, you won't be very fast!
Only with strong opponents can Uka truly improve her speed!
This is the real reason why she was willing to take action, and Mito asked her to do so.
As for that incident about beating up the disciple...
It was just the two of them joking around!
Bang--
He blocked the teacher's punch with his left hand.
The two of them didn't hide anything in their conversation, Uka Senju naturally heard it as well.
So when faced with the teacher's sneak attack, he easily blocked it after awakening his Complete Sage Body!
Having failed to achieve her goal with her first strike, Senju Tsukika smiled inwardly as she looked at her disciple, who was defending with a serious expression.
With a stomp of her left foot, she crashed directly into Uka's arms before the dust could rise.
What followed was a series of close-quarters, rapid strikes: punches, palm strikes, elbow strikes, and knee strikes.
Senju Tsukika directly used Senju's Taijutsu fighting techniques on this beloved disciple.
pain--
These are signals transmitted from various key parts of the body.
Using a teacher as a sparring partner helps one quickly master the body.
Uka Senju was very happy about this!
But the teacher's barrage of attacks was truly merciless.
Although his body was already able to execute the routine perfectly and was 'perfect' in every aspect, he was still under attack from such frequent attacks.
Whether it's counterattacking or defending, in the initial stages, his movements always seem to go a bit beyond the bounds!
The thought of blocking the elbow strike with the left hand might be misinterpreted as a quick elbow collision.
And if you're slow, you'll get a scolding from the teacher!
Although it hurt a lot, it only lasted for a few dozen seconds.
Uka Senju felt pain all over her body.
But the pain was very effective, allowing me to withstand the initial onslaught of light.
The mind and body have finally started working together!
So he began to defend himself correctly and effectively.
Fortunately, the Sage Body is truly monstrous!
The teachers' attacks happened in a very short time.
Those who were injured recovered, and those who were not injured no longer felt pain.
So what was originally Training Ground for one person to practice gradually turned into Taijutsu exercise between two people!
As time goes by.
The sun has moved westward again, and the previous daylight has turned a hazy yellow!
The clan's internal barrier has been restored to its original state.
The commotion and Chakra fluctuations that occurred in the afternoon also completely ceased.
Stepping out of the Government Affairs Hall, I watched the sunset on the horizon.
After bidding farewell to the people who kept bowing to her, Senju Toka started her journey home!
Walking along the road paved with Stone Slab, I listened to the conversations of some families as I passed by about what had happened that afternoon.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the twin houses that were five meters apart!
"Splash!"
The sound of a sliding door rang out.
" Toka's back!" Mito Uzumaki, sitting on the sofa, greeted with a smile as she looked at the person at the door who was about to change her shoes.
" Lady Mito, Tsukika, you finally have time to visit us today."
After changing her shoes, Senju Toka greeted the two people sitting on the living room sofa.
"Please have a seat." Senju Tsukika moved aside to make room for her, saying, "Today, let's try Chiharu's cooking."
"Yes, everyone says Chiharu's cooking is excellent, but unfortunately I haven't had time to come before. Today, Tsukika came back, and we discussed it and decided to come together!" Mito Uzumaki said with a smile.
Listening to their conversation, Senju Toka walked over, sat on the sofa, nodded, and said, "Perfect timing, since you're both here today, you should listen to what's going on."
" Chiharu's cooking skills are quite good, but I wonder how well the preparations went today!"
"On such an important day, we can't properly entertain our two distinguished guests if we don't have enough dishes."
When she received Chiharu's message, she had already considered whether to inform Mito Uzumaki to come over today.
As the two highest-ranking members of the Senju, Uka had to speak up; it was impossible for her to hide this from Mito.
Now that these two are together, there's one more Senju Tsukika.
But this is the little guy's teacher, not some outsider!
Moreover, the clan's most elite squad is now in Tsukika's hands.
Those present today are all my nephew's relatives, and I believe he wouldn't be unwilling to speak up just because there are two more people present.
After all, the commotion in the afternoon had already shown that the little guy felt there was no need to hide it anymore!
"There should be a lot of food. Chiharu has been inside for several hours!" Senju Tsukika said to the two of them, pointing towards the restaurant.
"Hmm~!" Mito Uzumaki nodded in agreement. "It should taste good."
"I can already smell the fragrance from the living room!"
Senju Toka smiled and said, "That's good. Let's have a good taste tonight."
"If we don't eat this a few more times, there won't be any left next month!"
Hearing this, Senju Tsukika teased, "If you don't want to hold your grandson, then you can come over and eat there Tenten."
"Since it's so close, would they dare not do it for you?"
Shaking her head, Senju Toka smiled at the two and said, "The grandson is more important; you must restrain your appetite!"
"Besides, even if I'm not in a hurry, Lady Mito will be."
"This is a great-grandson!"
It was quite rare for three high-ranking members of the Senju to chat about everyday matters in the same room.
As a high-ranking official, there are gains and losses!
What is common among ordinary people is very rare for them!
The entire Senju, like the First Elder Sawagen Senju, was a relatively complete family.
This is extremely rare even among the top echelons of the Senju!
The Warring States period, the founding of villages, First Shinobi World War —too many people have been involved in these events.
And these people are primarily from high-income families!
The Shinobi Clan is not like some people who shout slogans when war comes and then send their men to the battlefield.
If someone holds a high position within the Shinobi Clan, their strength is unlikely to be lacking.
Correspondingly, in times of war, the strong will become the leaders!
Thousands of your people are watching you, and following you into battle.
Would you place your son in the safest location out of fear of his death?
If you dare to play like this, then the Third Hokage will be killed by Orochimaru in a berserk state, and no one will help you—that will be your fate!
Even the Senju family, the most complete high-ranking family in the Senju today, is First Elder Sawagen Senju family.
The former First Elder didn't only have one son!
"Sizzle!"
Add the garlic and greens to the hot oil in the pan.
Senju Chiharu then began to stir-fry.
After adding some water and putting the lid on, she looked to the side and said, "You can take all the dishes upstairs now!"
This is the last one!
After she finished speaking, she turned around and started serving herself rice.
Squatting in the corner, Uka Senju was practicing her plant cultivation techniques while playing with plants in her palms.
Upon hearing the chef's instructions, he quickly threw away the cutting and got to work!
Chiharu made quite a few good things today!
He was already hungry after his fight with the teacher.
I came to the kitchen looking for something to eat, but the chef chased me to a corner to squat.
The reason is that it's almost mealtime, so we'll just have to eat together.
There are guests here, what's the point of you eating first?
Of course, that's what they say, but since Uka Senju has already come, Chiharu wouldn't really refuse to give it to her.
The quantity is definitely not large; it's just for a taste!
Arrange the dozen or so dishes, large and small, that Chiharu had made in the afternoon.
Uka Senju then called the guests under the chef's arrangement.
" Grandma Mito, teacher, Aunt, dinner's ready!"
"Okay *3."
The three people, who were chatting in the living room about when they would have a child, got up and went to the dining room after giving their reply.
Mito and Tsukika had already seen Uka's current appearance that afternoon, so they both took their seats directly.
Mito Uzumaki had never been here before, Senju Tsukika explained to her what was on the table!
She lived here for several years when she was a teacher and a guard.
She's tried almost all of these dishes!
Senju Toka, who had just returned home and hadn't yet seen Uka, froze on the spot when she entered the door and saw her nephew's appearance.
My nephew's height has always been good, but it's always been under 1.7 meters.
How did so many people get mixed up in just one day?
His hair has grown a lot longer, and his face has become more mature.
She watched as Senju Chiharu suddenly appeared, carrying a meal from the kitchen into the dining room.
Senju Toka turned her gaze back to Uka's face.
She realized that when the two of them stand together now, no one who didn't know them would think there's a big age difference between them!
My nephew's face has changed, making him look much more mature.
However, as someone who had personally raised her nephew, she found it difficult to accept.
This morning there were still some relatives who looked like children.
He turned into an adult after just one day apart?
Senju Toka instinctively took two steps forward, reached out and pinched her nephew's face, then forcefully pulled it to both sides!
"Auntie!" Unable to resist being controlled from both sides, Uka Senju could only helplessly try to awaken the familial affection in the person opposite her!
He knew perfectly well why his Aunt had been so lost in thought.
He only noticed the changes in his appearance when he took a shower after finishing his practice.
This is for someone as cold-hearted and calculating as him.
There's nothing hard to accept about it!
After all, he didn't become uglier; in fact, because the stats were optimized, he looked even more handsome.
How could he not be happy?
But at this moment, Aunt was clearly dissatisfied!
However, they're all Aunt now.
If I'm being pinched and pulled, then so be it!
Anyway, he couldn't resist, nor could he possibly resist the person who had taken care of him for over a decade!
Perhaps the feel of the controls wasn't off; although the opponent had changed, I could still roughly recognize my nephew's appearance.
Perhaps it was that familiar address from the other side that truly awakened Senju Toka, who was already making her move?
Anyway, after hearing the word "Aunt," she let go of his hand and went to her seat at the Dining Table.
The three people Kakuzu help but smile when they saw the two of them.
But only Mito Uzumaki understood what Toka was thinking at that moment.
After Risa came of age and got married, and after Hashirama left, she would sometimes feel a sense of disorientation when she looked at the empty house.
The loving husband and the child she held in her arms Tenten, all left her side in the blink of an eye.
Although her situation is somewhat different from Toka's.
But as parents and elders, the feeling of seeing a child suddenly grow up is the same for everyone!
After Toka took her seat, Mito Uzumaki chuckled and patted her on the shoulder, saying, "Don't you think it's too fast!"
Hearing this, Senju Toka nodded, then shook her head with a smile and said, "Yes, too fast!"
After they finished speaking, the two looked at each other and both wore an ambiguous smile.
After everyone was seated, the five began the dinner that Chiharu had carefully prepared.
The three elders only occasionally discussed the taste and praised Chiharu's cooking skills together.
As for the rest, they all tacitly remained silent, simply waiting patiently!
Meanwhile, Uka Senju buried her head in her food while racking her brains for the right thing to say!
A complete showdown is definitely unrealistic.
I would never reveal anything about the system or time travel.
However, given the numerous vulnerabilities he has exposed, he can only rely on information leaked from external sources.
The idea is to combine them into something that fits everyone's guesses, without revealing its core essence.
Use this combination to inform the three people in front of you, alleviating their concerns while securing sufficient assistance!
Energy absorption is definitely something I need to talk about.
First, they are good at disguising themselves.
Secondly, this point has already been exposed to the Three Great Sage Lands!
Thirdly, and this is the key reason why help is needed!
The elevation of one's level of life must also be mentioned.
After all, one's own situation is something that cannot be hidden.
The strange objects in his mouth, such as food and grenades, originated from his own mind.
We also need to take this opportunity to provide a reasonable explanation!
I was too arrogant and too young back then; all the trouble I caused in the past must be dealt with once and for all today.
The biggest challenge facing Uka Senju now is deciding what kind of product to present.
How can these three anomalies be combined?
This time, he doesn't intend to change his mind later.
In other words, this is something he's always put on the table when facing his own family!
Then we'll have to put our hearts into making it!
The traditional Ōtsutsuki -Ten-Tails is not suitable.
There are only two Ten-Tails in the Shinobi World, and their absorption methods are vastly different; both also have masters.
Most importantly, many people are aware of this ability.
He has no skill in cooking, nor the ability to improve gradually!
Then this is not suitable!
Something that fits all three points would have to be completely fabricated by oneself!
Dinner time passed slowly.
After the first person put down their chopsticks, the remaining three also stopped eating one after another.
At this moment, only Uka Senju was still eating!
Upon discovering this, he outwardly continued his usual habit of indulging in excessive eating and drinking.
Inside, however, the machine was racing again, concocting logically plausible excuses!
"Bang!"
After putting down her bowl and chopsticks, Uka Senju swallowed what was in her mouth and said to the four people whose eyes were all focused on her, "When I was a child, I accidentally obtained something."
Upon hearing Uka's opening, Mito Uzumaki watched the boy wait for what he would say next while simultaneously raising her hand to create a small barrier separating the inside from the outside.
Senju Toka and Senju Tsukika frowned slightly, placed their hands on the table, sat up straight, and listened attentively.
Senju Chiharu first took a few sheets of paper and handed them to Uka before doing the same thing as the elders.
Taking the tissue and wiping her mouth, Uka Senju said in a deep voice, "Perhaps it shouldn't be said that I obtained it unintentionally, but rather that it came to me?"
Anyway, I don't know how to describe it specifically, so... let's just call it 'it' for now!
At this point, Uka Senju frowned and gestured erratically with her hands towards the group, saying, "It's indescribable, but I certainly benefited greatly from it!"
" Wood Release originates from it, and the current complete Sage Body also originates from it."
"There may be more things like the Sage Eyes and the Ōtsutsuki that follow, and they will all originate from it!"
He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good excuse.
He felt that once he presented something concrete, it would be easy to expose his lies!
Because of something concrete, those present will start to ponder it.
So why not give a vague answer right now?
That way, the people present won't have anything to think about; whatever you think it is, that's what it is!
He has also come up with a solution to the problems this may cause!
" Sage Body, Sage Eyes?" Mito Uzumaki murmured unconsciously, her brows furrowed.
Like Mito, Senju Toka also had her brows furrowed tightly.
Looking at the boy across the Dining Table, she asked a different question than Mito: "What is the price?"
"Dangerous?"
Will you lose what you've gained again?
The two leaders of the Senju posed their respective questions to Uka Senju.
The other two kept their mouths shut and frowned in thought!
These two are only there to help out today; they don't have the right to ask questions or interrupt in this situation!
Hearing the questions from her two elders, Uka Senju took a slight breath, propped her chin up with her left hand, and said, "The price I pay each time is 'energy.' As long as I have energy, I can get more, or rather, I can get new things!"
"Regarding the risks, I haven't noticed anything yet, except that my body aches terribly every time I lift myself up."
"As for losing it, based on my two promotions, I don't think it's going to happen."
"Because what you gain is not external material possessions, but an elevation of your own life level!"
"It's a change in the whole person, from the inside out."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his left hand and spread it out in front of everyone.
He took out a Kunai with his right hand and cut a gash about ten centimeters long on his left arm.
When several elders tried to stop them, the four of them saw that the cuts healed on their own before any blood could even be drawn!
Or, if the Uka Senju cut open more slowly, it would become a case of the front opening and the back closing up.
After demonstrating this, another branch sprouted from his left palm.
The twig split into four branches and grew out, resting on the hands of the four people.
Then, the expressions on the faces of the four people all changed simultaneously!
"This is the Sage Body, the old man's Sage Body."
"This isn't someone like Hashirama Senju!"
The red fox, bound hand and foot with its mouth gagged, roared inwardly.
As Jinchūriki Mito Uzumaki, Chakra's chakra was extracted.
As the source of most of Mito's Chakra, it was not prohibited by Mito.
It could clearly sense the speed at which the branch was being pulled out!
Unfortunately, its mouth is now trapped, so it can only express its surprise by shouting and yelling in its mind!
Uka Senju Chiharu Uka were impressive, but she didn't have any other thoughts about them.
But the other three people who had dealt with Hashirama Senju immediately began to ponder!
The greatest strength of Hashirama Senju's Wood Release lies in its ability to extract Chakra.
This is a Ninjutsu makes one unafraid of being surrounded, and it is used by the user of Wood Release.
Aside from engaging in combat with someone of equal strength, ganging up on someone would only be sending them to their doom if they were using Wood Release techniques.
The biggest difference between Uka Senju's Wood Release and Hashirama's lies here.
What was just demonstrated is that the Uka Wood Release possesses this extraction ability!
As for the ability to heal body wounds automatically, almost every Senju possesses this ability.
However, they weren't as abnormal as Hashirama and Uka had just demonstrated; they were simply much faster than normal people.
After watching Uka demonstrate the two items, Mito Uzumaki and Senju Toka immediately stood up and walked to his left and right, placing their hands on his shoulders.
Having experienced something like this, Uka Senju did not resist.
He suppressed his body's instinct to resist and accepted the two men's examination!
Different types of Chakra emerged from his hands and flowed into the boy's body.
Half an hour later, the two, both with slight sweat on their foreheads, withdrew their hands at the same time.
They exchanged a glance and both shook their heads slightly.
After receiving the other party's result, the two returned to their original seats and waited for Uka's further explanation.
Seeing the two's actions, Senju Chiharu and Senju Tsukika breathed a sigh of relief.
They had also heard about Toka's previous issues.
The actions of the two elders at this moment clearly confirmed that Uka had said they would not be lost and were not in immediate danger!
So it seems that 'it' really is an equivalent exchange?
Doubts arose in their minds, and they continued to focus their attention on Uka, waiting for further developments.
Seeing the two elders sitting back in their seats looking somewhat tired, Uka Senju, knowing what they had been doing earlier, felt apologetic in her heart.
He did not seem to mind the 'distrust' in their actions.
Because the two of them were confirming danger and loss!
From another perspective, these two were also worried about his safety!
" Sage Body, Sage Eyes, Ōtsutsuki's everything—that's what I learned from its information."
"But it only provides titles and descriptions of abilities, without any more detailed or specific context."
Having just answered her Aunt's question, Uka Senju now has to answer Grandma Mito's question, "What information indicates that the Sage Body is the physique of both the Senju and Uzumaki clans?"
" The Sage Eyes are the highest form of eyes in the Uchiha Clan!"
" The Ōtsutsuki's everything—this refers to everything about that race after their eyes and body unite."
I explained the meaning of these words to the group.
I noticed a clear question mark appearing above the heads of the group.
He also knew that what he was saying was somewhat incoherent.
Then, meeting their gazes, he spoke again, "I'll explain everything I know from the beginning, and then you'll understand what I meant."
"This is a outline I compiled based on the information I received from the Katsuyu Sage regarding events that occurred thousands of years ago!"
"It all started thousands of years ago..."
