Chapter 108: New Blood Inheritance: Conception and Development (Ten‑Thousand‑Word Chapter)

"Old man, you're fine; just get some more rest."

Leaf Village, medical department.

Tsunade carefully examined the Third Hokage and gave her conclusion, which let Minato, Zhuan Qin Xiao Chun, and Mizuto Monen breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the Third is no longer Hokage, his symbolic significance remains great.

As long as this old man is fine, everything is fine.

"That's good, but what exactly happened this time?"

Zhuan Qin Xiao Chun couldn't help but nod at the words, but her expression was also not very good; the village's upper echelons' movements had been leaked.

Even former senior officials find such matters intolerable!

"I'm afraid that guy has infiltrated Leaf Village; there are some things we need to investigate thoroughly."

The Third Hokage pondered for a moment, then sat up, speaking in an unusually serious, hushed tone.

"I understand; I'm counting on both of you."

Zhuan Qin Xiao Chun thought for a moment, then addressed Minato.

"You actually understand Susanoo better than we do, don't you?"

And this guy is getting more outrageous: first Orochimaru, then the Nine-Tails incident, which was inseparable from him, and now this kind of incident.

Nevertheless, he has made many sacrifices for Leaf Village; even if there is criticism, his existence is still necessary.

The Third's words were simple and clear: if there's no problem, that's fine; if there is a problem, act.

"After all, I'm not Hokage anymore; times are changing, and we must change too."

The Third understood his old friend's meaning, sighed helplessly and said.

"Talk about that lunatic's situation, and now that you've found me, you should explain your purpose; Leaf Village isn't as bad as you say."

"Have you finished all this messy talk?"

"Do you really intend to do this?"

After a while, Mizuto Monen sighed and asked.

"Only this way can we figure out exactly who holds such deep hostility toward Leaf Village!"

The Third's words seemed to point at the person troubling Leaf Village, but this matter was not communicated with Danzo, nor was any opinion from Danzo sought!

More importantly, he said it in front of everyone, which already doomed the matter to bypass Danzo.

The Third's words left the two advisors stunned; not only them, but even Minato and Tsunade beside them showed odd expressions.

She was actually quite puzzled; she hadn't even agreed with the Third when a lunatic attack occurred.

They were still investigating; some 'nonessential' matters they could slightly conceal, which was already giving Danzo the final 'dignity'.

Tsunade pursed her lips; she didn't deny that point—Yuzhi's strength was indeed awe‑inspiring.

Danzo must have done something that provoked retaliation.

"Although Leaf Village does look pretty good, strong even, ninjas aren't absolutely dominant."

Since she's back, she doesn't bother to think much; she and Ziraiye think alike, now only caring about some other matters.

For example, the Fourth Raikage and Oonoki; Yuzhi could kill them, but they wouldn't just stand there and take hits.

In the end, the situation turned into a multi‑ninja village shadow 'interaction', and she didn't even have a chance to refuse before being brought back.

"But now it's certain that these people's target is Danzo."

Zhuan Qin Xiao Chun and Mizuto Monen were somewhat surprised, but also somewhat understanding; after all, they might not know what Danzo has done.

You've seen Yuzhi's power, but he also has certain limits.

"However, such investigations are time‑consuming and laborious, and must be done covertly; Fourth Hokage, this will likely take some time."

If we miss this chance, the Fourth will probably have to give Danzo a 'dignified' end!

"We aren't even sure who that guy is; the Uchiha are currently investigating."

"I believe that after the secret investigation ends, the Fourth Hokage can make a reasonable, fair judgment."

Minato naturally knows such matters are hard to handle, and the covert investigation already shows his stance; even if he finds it slow, he must give face.

He's no longer Hokage, but he still hopes to give Danzo a dignified outcome.

Seeing this, the Third could only pinch his forehead and explain.

If we don't investigate, if we don't do anything, we really can't get away with it.

"I hope he can seize the opportunity."

So I hope you both can thoroughly investigate Danzo and obtain his activity report as much as possible.

"Ri Zhan, you."

While everyone was lost in thought, Tsunade suddenly blurted out.

"Some matters must proceed now."

This also means the Third has likely lost patience and trust in Danzo; what will he do now!

But if that guy isn't dignified, we'll have to find a way to make him dignified!

The Susanoo he uses, if I'm not mistaken, is in its third stage, with offense and defense unified to the extreme.

Whoever gets hit, unless it's her grandfather ZhuZhang, will basically disappear without even a corpse.

But the third stage lacks mobility, destined to be just a fortress—or, bluntly, a live target.

If Oonoki goes berserk and directly uses Dust Release, it's hard to say what would happen.

Her grandfather and that Madara Uchiha are unbeatable because they essentially have no major flaws.

Moreover, Tsunade suddenly thought of something, making her expression even stranger.

"I understand, and know some Mangekyou Sharingan secrets; could it be that you brought me back?"

"Those two kids—no, three kids—aren't very disciplined in using their power."

The Third pursed his lips and could only express his view with such a polite phrasing.

"You all."

Those words almost made Tsunade lose her composure—having a Senju return to treat a Uchiha?

If her hidden‑door grandfather found out, even the coffin lid might not be able to hold it, right?

"There are three people like that, and their hearts belong to Leaf Village."

The two advisors were also a bit hesitant, but Xiaochun of the dormitory gave a simple, clear explanation.

Three.

Hearts set on Leaf Village.

Tsunade was too lazy to say more; fortunately she also understood her second grandfather's thinking.

And she herself actually leaned more toward her elder grandfather, so she had no difficulty.

"I don't mind doing something, but the Uchiha eye issue is far more difficult than you imagine; even I might not be able to do much."

"At least it's better than doing nothing; they are the future of Leaf Village."

The Third spoke again at this moment, causing Tsunade to purse her lips, especially when she saw Minato Namikaze's approving expression.

She suddenly felt this Leaf Village seemed unfamiliar; the Leaf she left before didn't seem like this—

"Honestly, that psycho really knows how to cause trouble."

At Yuzhi's home, Hikari, already freshened up, sat on the sofa reading a book.

Seeing Yuzhi wipe his damp hair and walk out, she couldn't help to make a snide comment.

She had originally been watching Yuzhi craft his 'cosplay gear', then turned her head and got caught in a battle.

Even if she didn't mind, encountering that idiot repeatedly made her rather irritated.

"Indeed, that psycho is truly annoying; perhaps we can find a chance to kill him."

Yuzhi was also annoyed by Obito's occasional meddling, though killing him would still be difficult.

Not to mention, Obito's survival ability is truly top‑tier.

He has Kamui, and his body is full of White Absolute Cells; in the original, even when he deliberately let Kakashi pierce his heart, he babbled for ages.

Even after being stripped of the Ten‑Tails, he still survived; although the Ten‑Tails' residual power and Naruto's help existed, his physique was so weak he should have died long ago!

"This guy is basically a cockroach, even nastier than a cockroach; to kill him we need to think of a way."

Yuzhi couldn't help but mutter inside, but when he turned his head he saw Hikari's shaking legs.

For a moment he felt dazed; how long had it been since he saw this scene?

"What are you looking at?"

Hikari noticed Yuzhi's gaze, glared back in displeasure, but she didn't pull her legs back as before.

"Nothing, I'm just pondering some issues."

Yuzhi immediately averted his gaze, sat upright, and began speaking.

"I'm thinking about that psycho and some matters concerning our future."

"Tch."

Hikari clearly didn't believe Yuzhi's words; she tilted her head without commenting.

"I'm indeed contemplating future issues; whether it's your eyes or other matters, we need to prepare."

Yuzhi stroked his chin, thought for a moment, then continued.

"The Sharingan has never been the limit; we can restore its pupil power by certain methods, but in terms of quality I feel it's still insufficient.

Clearly, there is still room for improvement, especially since I've heard that a true Mangekyou Sharingan actually requires the fusion of two pairs of eyes.

We lack those conditions, so we must forge a new path, a road of our own.

This is the first time Yuzhi voluntarily brought up the "Eternal Eye" issue; in fact, he's been pondering it for a long time.

In the original, Indra's Mangekyou Sharingan had clearly reached what is called the "Eternal Eye."

Or perhaps the "Eternal Eye" is simply the true, complete Mangekyou Sharingan!

However, due to the passage of time and the waning of bloodline power, the difficulty of awakening these eyes has steadily risen.

"The solution presented in the original is the mutual fusion of two Mangekyou Sharingan between brothers."

Actually, Yuzhi isn't sure whether only brotherly fusion works; the original never clarified this.

But based on this theory, could we assume the true "Eternal Eye" has been split?

"Is its power distributed among the brothers, and only the fusion of these two forces can condense the 'Eternal Eye'?"

I must say, if Yuzhi's idea is correct, the cruelty of this fact is unimaginable.

Because the Uchiha are all brother‑obsessed.

Moreover, the "Eternal Eye" in the original always stems from brotherly bonds.

"However, the method shouldn't be limited to this; at least for me, there are definitely other ways."

Yuzhi possesses Zhuo Er Extraordinary; his focus is the enhancement of his bloodline, which is clearly another method.

As for the final one.

"We need stronger chakra, so we can attempt some necessary experiments."

Yuzhi said, his ability to spin stories was growing stronger.

"Tailed Beasts are our option; other things need consideration, and besides that I think we should develop and mobilize our own bloodline as much as possible.

Perhaps, fusing chakra to create a Bloodline Limit would be a good choice.

Actually, he himself isn't sure whether creating a Bloodline Limit is an effective way to mobilize bloodline power.

But the Bloodline Network's "Divine Ascension Long Step" cannot do without bloodline fusion; that is a truly complete bloodline metamorphosis.

Moreover, after successful Bloodline Limit fusion, such power can be inherited through the bloodline, which can also be seen as development of bloodline power.

Yuzhi's proposal, at least on the surface, seems fine.

After all, in the original work, Madara Uchiha can use "Storm Release," so perhaps he himself has made some special attempts.

Of course, it's also possible that the Rinnegan opened, granting it instantly.

Still, trying it can't hurt; even if the approach is wrong, he still has the "Demon Spiral Technique" as a safety net for the future!

"Developing the Bloodline Limit, huh?"

Hikari's expression was odd; she knew Yuzhi's purpose for the alias, but didn't expect the guy to be thinking about so much.

"But the difficulty of this kind of thing isn't ordinary; aren't we doing fine now? Why do you always think about so much?"

"Perhaps that's what they call being cautious in peace."

Yuzhi thought for a moment; he couldn't just say it's the future "Immortal Descent" and that they need to prepare in advance, could he?

"Now it seems comfortable, but we never know what the future holds.

Therefore, to ensure we can always be at ease, we must constantly make preparations for ourselves.

Moreover, doing it early doesn't feel especially urgent, nor does it affect our lives, right?"

Hikari was momentarily speechless at Yuzhi's words, but she accepted the reasoning.

This outing also showed the ninja world was unstable, and she recalled what Yuzhi did in Mist Village.

Perhaps in the future the ninja world will undergo great changes; preparing now isn't a bad thing.

Moreover, she knows that to live peacefully one must have enough strength to protect everything.

Just as in the Warring States period, it's the same now.

"But you don't need to emphasize 'we', right, although—"

Whatever "although" meant, Hikari didn't continue; after all, she had no need to keep thinking.

After all, this guy was the person she trusted most in this world.

"I understand; I'll be with you. We'll tackle the Bloodline Limit together."

Hikari nodded directly; it was a new track, but she was willing to try it with Yuzhi.

"Then we'll compare; you better not lose."

"Heh, if you lose, what will you do?"

Yuzhi raised an eyebrow and immediately laughed; with Oonoki that old man's chakra‑fusion talent, could he lose?

If he weren't worried the flag was set too high, he'd already have the champagne ready!

"We'll talk after I lose."

Hikari let out a light hum, but she also wondered what to do if she lost.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Hikari noticed Yuzhi's gaze, which seemed to intentionally or unintentionally glance at her leg.

This instantly gave her a bad feeling; if she lost, would this guy…?

Thinking that, Hikari couldn't hold back entirely, but in the end she just muttered a thought inside.

"This guy, why is he such a pervert?"

——

The battle outside that small town in the Land of Soup was fierce, yet few spoke of it afterward.

Even if we don't know how many were shocked by that once‑lush forest, now completely razed to the ground.

We also don't know how many ninja ran there to see the huge crater and the endless fissures.

And the small town, directly covered and at least half destroyed, felt terrifying.

The town's residents were fortunately quick, and they had already begun to consciously keep distance in combat.

Otherwise, whether the town still exists and if its people can survive is a question.

But regarding this, neither Leaf Village, Cloud Village, nor Rock Village gave any statement.

Everyone just did what they were supposed to, as if the incident never existed.

This strange attitude made an unknown number of people notice the underlying issue.

Regardless of any further problems, the three great ninja villages shifted public opinion together, leaving no chance for discussion.

Moreover, Leaf Village is now distracted by another matter: Tsunade's return!

"Tsunade's back—what do you think of this?"

In a secret lab, Orochimaru asked Danzo, his face grim, in a low voice.

He was in a terrible mood now, even though he had considered the possibility of this operation failing.

He even specifically intercepted Minato Namikaze to discuss the matter of root reconstruction.

Nevertheless, the result was that although the ANBU who went together suffered heavy losses, Sarutobi Hanzan and Tsunade returned safely!

"Did I send you to deal with those ANBU?"

Danzo burned with anger; this outcome was truly unacceptable, and what made it even more intolerable was…

He again took the initiative to have You Nu Long Ma contact Hanzo, only to find Hanzo completely missing, with no response no matter how they tried.

The Akatsuki Organization casually told him that the Fourth Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage intervened, and that here in Leaf Village, Uchiha Haori and Uchiha Ying joined the battlefield.

The battle was too chaotic; the Akatsuki Organization had no chance and ultimately could only retreat one after another.

"What on earth is happening?"

Oonoki and the Fourth Raikage both appeared, a situation Danzo couldn't even fathom.

What puzzled him even more was how Yuzhi and Hikari got there so quickly, and why they went to rescue the Third…

After pondering, he instantly arrived at an uneasy conclusion.

"These two aren't going to rescue the Third; they're going to rescue Tsunade!"

He also knows some of the Mangekyou Sharingan's secrets; I'm afraid these two guys have already felt the pressure on their eyes, and now they need Gongshou!

Ri Zhan, you've really fallen, you're raising a tiger as a menace!

"Gongshou? Of course we welcome her."

Orochimaru doesn't even know what Tuan Zang has done, but whatever it is, he doesn't care now.

It's as if he doesn't care that Gongshou has returned; in fact, he still hasn't met that old classmate yet.

After all, everyone's paths have diverged; meeting now would only add awkwardness.

"Have you never thought that she returned for those three Uchiha eyes?"

Tuan Zang's expression had already grown indifferent, and he asked in a low voice.

Orochimaru's hand paused slightly when he heard that, then he refocused on his experiment.

This time, however, Orochimaru's voice sounded a bit colder.

"It doesn't matter what for; she's Gongshou. Do you still intend to strike at her?"

What's wrong with that?

Tuan Zang thought to himself that he really wanted to say that, but he also knew some things couldn't be spoken.

Seeing that Orochimaru completely ignored him made Tuan Zang feel even more unable to hold back.

The Uchiha issue, Ri Zhan's betrayal, Gongshou's return, and Orochimaru's noncooperation.

All this made him feel strange and uneasy. Damn, how has Leaf Village become like this?

"Indeed, only I can save Leaf Village!"

Tuan Zang clenched his fist, feeling the surging life force within and the massive, overwhelming power, and he knew he could do it!

"I hope you can speed up your experiment."

Tuan Zang steadied his emotions, then spoke coldly.

"If you have any problems, you can tell me; I only want results."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Orochimaru casually nodded, but this time he was too lazy even to lift his head.

Although he had long anticipated that Tuan Zang would become increasingly mad, digging his own grave ever deeper.

But he didn't expect the guy to have gone this far insane!

Other people might not care about Orochimaru, but Ziraiye and Gongshou— even if he gets annoyed sometimes— that doesn't mean he doesn't care.

"Is it Senju Clan ZhuZhang's power that makes him swell even more?"

Orochimaru thought to himself, but in the end he just shook his head, too lazy to consider what this doomed guy would become.

After all, his village is nearly finished; barring any mishap, in forty‑nine or fifty years Leaf Village will be complete, and he can leave.

The most he has to endure is a few months to a year with this guy, and he can wait that long.

"Besides, my Non-Dead Reincarnation is almost finished, which is good news for me."

Thinking of his own Eternal Technique, a smile involuntarily curved his lips.

Although the technique still has many flaws, its final effectiveness must be observed and adjusted through reincarnation.

But having mastered the core of the technique—Soul Transfer—already gives him the foundation to live forever!

"And this way, I can better explore the true origin of power."

Unconsciously, Orochimaru glanced sideways at Tuan Zang.

This guy's body is neither human nor ghost, and the fusion of power doesn't proceed that way in his view.

What he wants is pure power, like using a Uchiha body to accommodate Senju's power, and vice versa!

"It's a pity, Itachi Uchiha is still too young; the other Uchiha are hard to deal with."

Orochimaru sighed, still recalling everything he sensed when he last met that mysterious person.

All of that left an extremely deep impression, and he wants to replicate it, even surpass it.

Itachi Uchiha seems a very good choice; the only regret is that he must wait longer.

Fortunately, Orochimaru has always been a patient person.

"For now, the priority is to drain Tuan Zang's funds, while also properly building my village."

Orochimaru licked his tongue, his gaze fully returning to his experiment.

"Secondly, to prepare as much as possible for the future.

Tuan Zang, after you die, these people cannot be wasted."

——

"How are you now?"

"I'm fine; although it's more troublesome than imagined, overall it's not bad."

Sitting on the sofa, Yuzhi curiously looked at Hikari and asked, and Hikari thought for a moment before giving his current feeling.

Unnoticed, about a week had passed, and the two had already chosen a good direction for research and fusion, and begun their actions.

Their luck was great; as Uchiha, they naturally both possessed Fire Style.

Coincidentally, they each had three types of chakra; the other two were Lightning Style and Wind Style, which made things much simpler for them.

However, when choosing, Yuzhi actually had difficulty.

"Whether Fire Style paired with Lightning Style, or Fire Style paired with Wind Style, both seem feasible."

Strictly speaking, there really hasn't been a successful fusion case of Fire Style and Lightning Style.

At least in the original work, the only slightly related case seems to be Sasuke's Flame Style.

But his Flame Style, Yuzhi thought, is more like a combination of Kagu Toki and Amaterasu.

As for Wind Style and Fire Style, Yuzhi couldn't quite recall any successful case, but Dust Style contains both Fire and Wind!

"Which do you think is more comfortable to use, lightning release or wind release, aside from fire release?"

After thinking for a while, Yuzhi decided to ask Hikari.

"For me they're the same, because I haven't tried either."

Hikari spread her hands upon hearing the question, and her answer was even simpler.

"I used to focus solely on fire release; I haven't studied other ninjutsu much, at most I just used the Sharingan to copy and try them."

Yuzhi didn't know how to respond; in fact, for most powerful members of the Uchiha Clan, this is the correct choice.

No matter what technique you use, as long as it's not a secret art I can copy it, even use it outright; mastering fire release well is enough.

After much thought, Yuzhi finally chose fire release and wind release.

Fire release, being the power they are most familiar with, is the most suitable foundation.

As for wind release, dust release already contains wind release, and with Da Ye Mu's talent he can't lose.

"That's good."

Yuzhi heard Hikari's words and couldn't help but nod.

"However, the fusion of chakra is evidently more troublesome than we imagined, especially if a single chakra's development is insufficient, it causes big problems."

Fusing two chakras is indeed not as simple as imagined; the preliminary work must include various preparations.

For example, the proficiency with chakra and the development level of each individual chakra.

The use of chakra boils down to two aspects: shape transformation and substance transformation.

After ensuring both chakras have reached a relatively high level, one must choose a suitable ratio for fusion.

Different fusion ratios yield different final results.

As Yuzhi knows, there seem to be several "Melt Release" types, but whether it's Tu Dai, Lao Zi, or Hei Tu, their Melt Release manifests completely differently.

Fortunately, Yuzhi and Hikari are now feeling their way across the river; having stepped into all the pits now isn't a bad thing for their future.

As for the two variations of wind release chakra, they both took the simplest route—directly copying Naruto.

"Although we don't have as abundant chakra as Naruto, at least we learn quickly, and we master it quickly, right?"

Yuzhi thought with a slight smile that these are their innate attributes; a week of hard training barely lets them attempt fusion.

However, to ensure stability, Yuzhi decided to make fire release dominant and wind release auxiliary.

After all, the bloodline net requires the interweaving of yin-yang, five elements, and seven attributes; to achieve the bloodline limit Yuzhi also needs to highlight a particular attribute.

Using this attribute as the foundation and core makes judgment easier.

As for Yin-Yang Release, his eyes are already Shadow Release, his body is gradually developing controllable Light Release, and the future Reincarnation Eye will be the ultimate product of Yin-Yang Release fusion.

He doesn't need to overthink or worry about this.

Moreover, having more bloodline makes it easier for him to use some aliases to cause trouble later.

"It seems this fusion will need at least a month, maybe longer, before we can run simple tests."

Hikari sensed the chakra within her, thought for a moment, then spoke.

"As for the future, the subsequent adjustments and the current fusion's chakra requirements are all troublesome matters.

It seems we previously underestimated these bloodline limits."

"No power is simple; even if we slip up, we'd still be injured by a Kunai, or even killed outright."

Yuzhi shrugged, thought for a moment, and asked.

"By the way, when developing the bloodline, did you notice any changes in the blood vessels?"

"Don't you feel it yourself?"

Hikari looked at Yuzhi with puzzlement, causing Yuzhi to purse his lips.

I've already advanced long ago; what more could I feel.

Hikari watched Yuzhi in silence, thought, then bluntly said.

"When the two forces fuse, I feel a slight boiling of the blood.

It's very mild; if I weren't extremely in control of myself, I might not even notice.

Honestly, can this really achieve the goal you want?"

"How would we know without trying, and a little extra power can't hurt."

Yuzhi was somewhat surprised by the answer, but such a faint effect indeed can't change much.

To obtain more results, we must see the post-fusion effects and try more new experiments.

"Maybe in the future we could fuse all chakras together."

"That's a wild fantasy."

Hikari heard Yuzhi's ambition and couldn't help but laugh and shake her head.

In her era, she had never heard of anyone completing the fusion of three chakras.

Even the chakra required for fusing just two types is already awe-inspiring.

If she hadn't taken those solvents, which greatly amplified her own chakra, she might not have dared to continue.

"Two types are already that troublesome; three is unimaginable. As for fusing all chakras, regardless of difficulty, we don't even know if it's possible.

Even gathering the chakra needed for fusion alone is probably not easy to amass."

Hikari thought silently, and at that moment, their room door was suddenly knocked.

"Hmm, who is it?"

Yuzhi glanced oddly at the main door, then went straight to open it.

To his surprise, the visitors turned out to be Kakashi and Lin.

"So, you've also used the Mangekyou Sharingan's power?"

Walking on Leaf Village's main street, Yuzhi looked at Kakashi with a strange expression; he truly hadn't expected to hear such a thing.

Actually Yuzhi is also curious whether Kakashi has awakened the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, because Kakashi's experiences differ completely from the original work.

He didn't kill Lin, didn't develop empathy with Obito, nor did he experience that extreme emotion.

Whether Kakashi's eye has been triggered indeed gave Yuzhi something to ponder.

However, it now seems that the Mangekyou's enhancement mainly depends on the true owner's condition; Kakashi's eye has clearly been activated.

"But still, isn't this too tragic for Obito?"

Recalling Kakashi's words, Yuzhi couldn't help but feel that Obito in this world is indeed overly tragic.

Forgotten by Kakashi and Lin, now neither human nor ghost can recognize him, and Kakashi even treats him as a thief who stole Obito's eye.

Especially this kid's hand—does it seem to get cut off every few days?

"Could it be that he's trying to learn Yang Guo?"

Thinking back to having broken one himself, Hikari also cut off one, and it seems that in a one‑on‑one with Minato Namikaze he also broke one.

Moreover, with the current Kakashi, it seems that anyone who troubles him has basically had his hand broken.

"Only Zhi Shui hasn't reached that point yet."

Thinking of this, Yuzhi couldn't help but shake his head, yet Kakashi's words also made him somewhat alert.

Obito specifically attacks Kakashi, likely for that eye, and Obito has probably been quite agitated.

Moreover, now that Obito sees Kakashi activating the Mangekyou Sharingan, his thoughts and obsession about that eye will only deepen.

"I understand why you came to me; it seems you truly need to train properly."

Yuzhi also seriously considered whether to take that eye back, but upon further thought he decided against it.

He could use this to bluff Uzhibo ChaNa and Uchiha Fugaku into a clash, but the original story never had Minato Namikaze's rise mention this matter.

Yuzhi sees no need to bring it up; the current situation is fine.

"But I think you should now focus more on the Flying Thunder God."

Yuzhi thought for a moment, then continued, while Kakashi listened attentively.

"The Mangekyou's abilities are fixed; although they can be developed, you currently cannot endure them.

Because you aren't a member of the Uchiha Clan, using this eye doesn't trigger a strong rejection response; it merely consumes more chakra, which is already a miracle.

Yet overcoming this issue won't happen overnight; unless you have more chakra, the problem is hard to solve.

Of course, if you truly want to solve it, I think you should ask senior Minato for a favor."

"What is it, Yuzhi."

Kakashi silently noted Yuzhi's words, then curiously asked.

"I hope Senior Tsunade can give you a hand, teaching you the Yin Seal."

Yuzhi smiled and then spoke.

There are many ways to solve Kakashi's chakra deficiency; one of the simplest is transplanting White Absolute Cells.

However, White Absolute Cells are overly sensitive; especially now that Tsunade has returned, even if everyone discovers it, probably no one will bring it up.

The next option is a tailed beast, but the problem is who would give you one, especially since Yuzhi himself is watching.

Then the final method is Tsunade's Yin Seal, and for the present Kakashi this is also the most probable solution.

As for success or failure, Yuzhi doesn't know, but he looks forward to it succeeding.

"Having the Yin Seal allows Kakashi to better burst or endure in combat, combined with the Flying Thunder God and a single Kamui."

"If that kid Obito were to collide with him, I wonder if he'll be utterly shattered."

Yuzhi thought wickedly, yet he didn't notice that two people were watching them from behind.

"Ying, you two… are you engaged?"

Lin stared at Yuzhi's silhouette walking together with Kakashi, hesitated, then asked softly.

"Cough cough cough cough…"

Hikari, hearing that, was instantly taken aback; the engagement topic was no longer something a single person could raise, though the two of them indeed hadn't…

"Why did I say we haven't?"

Hikari muttered a retort in his mind, then spoke.

"No, it's just that I'm close with him, his family is bigger, they have a garden, so I moved in."

"Is that so?"

Lin blinked, for a moment unsure what she was thinking, but soon she laughed.

Then she lowered her voice and whispered.

"So… what is Yuzhi like normally?"

"Normally?"

Hikari's eyes grew somewhat odd, wondering why he was asking that.

"Well, Yuzhi is a hero of the Leaf Village; anyone would be very curious."

Lin answered honestly, smiling.

"You and he belong to the same clan and are together daily, so it's natural to be curious."

"When he's at home, does he also command such confidence?"

Hikari fell silent for a moment; he is indeed persuasive, but at home he's not as proper as he is now.

Thinking of his occasional antics and his eye's erratic glances made Hikari press his lips together.

However, Hikari thought it best not to say that, to at least preserve Yuzhi's reputation.

She thought it over, then reluctantly whispered.

"It's okay, though it may differ from the present."

"I see, at home one should indeed relax more."

Lin was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst out laughing.

"Mm, yeah, I really relaxed a lot."

Hikari glanced at Yuzhi's back, and only then let out a faint sigh.

They've already blatantly revealed their hidden side—how could they not relax?

This over-the-top Uchiha brat!
