Uchiha Itachi looked at his father Uchiha Fugaku, with a look of astonishment.
"Who... who exactly is he?!"
"The strongest ninja in the Shinobi World, Uya!"
Uchiha Fugaku's expression was extremely solemn, especially when he mentioned the name Uya, his voice even trembled slightly.
Uchiha Itachi wore a thoughtful expression and murmured, " Uya? A familiar name..."
"Itachi, although you are still young, now that you have met him today, you must remember this name, because this name represents an absolutely insurmountable peak that stands above countless ninjas in the entire Shinobi World!"
"This name represents an era!"
A rare look of awe appeared on Uchiha Fugaku's face. Even though Uchiha Kageyama died at the hands of Uya, he and the Uchiha Clan dared not provoke Uya in the slightest!
Uya's name is like an insurmountable mountain, something one can only look up to.
Uchiha Fugaku's words caused Uchiha Itachi to gasp, a look of shock appearing on his face.
A name can represent an era.
What kind of being could possibly receive such praise?
Amegakure.
In the spacious and bright living room, Tsunade sat there excitedly, her clothes open and completely unladylike, holding a dice cup in one hand and shaking it constantly.
The dice inside the dice cup made a continuous thumping sound.
"Come on! I'm going to win this time!"
"It seems like you haven't won a single game."
Kushina covered her forehead and looked at Tsunade, then casually placed a small bet.
Tsunade slammed the dice cup down on the table, laughing loudly, "You're going to lose for sure, this time it's definitely... uh."
The dice at the bottom of the dice cup are all one...
puff!
Kushina couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although she had no interest in this at all, she found it quite amusing to watch Tsunade lose no matter what.
"No, no! Again, again!"
Tsunade showed no sign of being discouraged; on the contrary, she became even more invigorated.
Just then, the door next to them was suddenly pushed open.
Uya walked in and immediately felt speechless upon seeing the scene in the living room.
That's really enough!
It's one thing if you like gambling, but don't corrupt Kushina too!
Uya didn't want to see Kushina suddenly pull out a few dice when he wanted to sleep someday, and say, "Big, you sleep on the floor; small, you sleep on the bed..."
"Well..."
Uya gave a helpless look, but Tsunade had to deal with things every day and rarely had free time. It was impossible for her to go out gambling, and strategically, it didn't allow it either.
Otherwise, at the rate she loses, she could lose the entire Amegakure!
Uya also found it strange. It was as if Tsunade possessed an invisible power that made her win unless something terrible happened; otherwise, she would always lose. But even though Uya used his Shockwave Sensing to examine her thoroughly, he couldn't find that invisible power.
"Cough!"
When Tsunade saw Uya return, her expression immediately turned somewhat awkward, because a similar incident had occurred before, with Uya strongly condemning her for trying to corrupt Kushina.
"I have something to do, I'll be going now!"
Tsunade put away her gambling equipment and left with remarkable speed and efficiency, completely forgetting what she had lost.
Uya and Kushina stared speechlessly at Tsunade's retreating figure, then exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle simultaneously.
Has something happened in Konoha again?
"Without."
Uya sat down on the sofa, casually picked up an apple, and the golden ring instantly transformed into a small fruit knife, peeling off the fruit in a few swift movements.
Kushina watched this scene with a speechless expression. Using the Kusanagi Sword to peel an apple—only Uya could pull off something like that.
"Kai's training is almost over, so I won't be going to Konoha as often anymore. I'll spend more of my free time with you."
"Um."
Kushina walked over and sat down next to Uya, gently leaning against Uya and taking his hand in Uya.
Holding Kushina's delicate, slender hand, Uya suddenly looked surprised and asked, "This feeling... you've completed the Third Stage of your training?"
"Yes."
Kushina smiled and said, " The Little Fox is quite good at refining Natural Energy; she just completed the Third Stage of her cultivation today."
Nine-Tails had almost gotten used to Kushina calling it " Little Fox." It lay there listlessly, too lazy to argue with Kushina, with an expression that said it had resigned itself to its fate.
"That's good, but the Fourth Stage and Fifth Stage will be much more difficult."
Uya nodded slightly. He was very concerned about Kushina's cultivation of the Sage Body. Uya also tried to help Tsunade and Konan with the First Stage and Second Stage of their cultivation.
Tsunade succeeded very easily, seemingly because she possessed the bloodline of the Senju Clan and also had a large amount of Chakra, so she encountered virtually no obstacles.
After completing these two stages of training, Tsunade had fully met the requirements for the Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode. However, Tsunade is not very interested in training now, and as the Amekage, she has many things to deal with, so she has almost completely put aside her training.
As for Konan, although it was a bit difficult, she completed it relatively easily.
Konan's original weakness was that she didn't have any special physical constitution, Chakra was neither strong enough nor plentiful enough. Now, the transformation into Sage Body perfectly compensates for her weaknesses.
With the addition of her special Paper Release Ninjutsu and sufficient Chakra support, her strength had reached roughly the Peak Kage Level.
Apart from that, Yahiko only completed the First Stage; he found the Second Stage too difficult to handle.
"By the way, how's your cultivation going?"
Kushina looked at Uya with some concern; she cared more about Uya's training than her own.
"Slow improvement." Uya's tone revealed a slight hint of dissatisfaction. Although his cultivation speed was already considered abnormal by many, Uya's eagerness to gain greater power still made him feel that it was too slow.
Kushina gave a helpless look. For ordinary ninjas, let alone reaching Uya's level, even becoming Jonin is not easy. Jonin is basically the limit for many ninjas, and reaching the level of Hokage is not an easy thing.
Uya's power was already so great that he stood at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, and the fact that Uya could still continue to increase his strength under these circumstances was already an incredible thing.
