Chapter 231: with translation of chapter title

「Senior, actually you don't need to be so anxious. 」

Moon, inside Hamura's shrine.

Shisui lay on an experimental bench, helplessly watching Yuzhi, while Yuzhi seemed not to have heard his words at all and continued observing Shisui's condition.

Such an action left Shisui quite helpless, but he also knew that once this senior made a decision, it was impossible to stop.

Over these years, Shisui has grown accustomed to it, even though he has become the chief of the Guard Department and the family-nominated deputy clan leader.

In fact, the number‑two person of both Leaf Village and the Uchiha Clan; of course, the Leaf Village's number two might still need to be more particular.

After all, among the current high‑ranking echelons of Leaf Village, each of those elders and such is essentially a former Kage!

But from the standpoint of actual power, Shisui, who has fully inherited the Police Department, truly deserves that saying, yet he cannot change this.

"It's quite stable; the improvements look good—at least you don't have to suffer like I and Hikari did back then."

As expected, Yuzhi didn't pay attention to what Shisui said at all; after observing for a while, Yuzhi then nodded.

"Senior."

Shisui felt a mix of laughter and tears; after thinking, he finally spoke.

"Since there's nothing wrong, can I go back, devil? After all, the war is still ongoing; even if I don't need to go to the front lines, the village—"

"What's there to fear? Xin and Xiu can handle the big picture, and don't you feel you've fallen far behind us?"

Yuzhi rolled a Byakugan, casually found a spot to sit down; for them, the moon really is equivalent to a super experimental base.

Besides, this place is also very suitable for seclusion.

However, considering that inside the moon there is still an Otsutsuki Kaguya hidden, and at the same time the soul of Otsutsuki Hamura might be running around everywhere, any incoming Otsutsuki would likely make this their first landing point.

So Yuzhi ultimately still didn't decide to relocate, honestly staying in the ninja world.

"Every time I look for you, you say you're busy; even though you're indeed not bad now, your limit can still be tried to improve."

"Actually I think this is enough already, senior."

Hearing Yuzhi's words, Shisui gave a simple smile and shook his head, then continued speaking.

"After all, senior should also know that my ambition has actually never been great; my greatest desire has always been for the clan and the village to coexist in harmony."

"Besides, I also yearn for world peace, and these dreams of yours have all been realized one by one, so I think I can afford to slack off a little."

Shisui spoke these words without any reservation, which made Yuzhi roll a Byakugan.

But upon further thought, Shisui really is a rather simple fellow; in the original story, his 【turbulent and yet accomplishing nothing life】 seems to have indeed been striving for these things.

Now that these two intermediate goals have been achieved, this fellow's somewhat 'lazy' attitude seems normal.

Of course, Shisui's laziness might just be what he himself considers laziness; in fact, he has never relaxed his demands on himself.

Most likely, he simply feels he can't keep up with Yuzhi and Hikari's pace, which is why he's self‑mocking like this.

"Alright, stop saying useless things; we still have plenty to do later, we'll be busy in the future."

Yuzhi lightly shook his head, and Shisui straightforwardly nodded, feeling the power within him constantly condensing, and he also became a bit quieter.

But this calm was only momentary; soon he couldn't help speaking again.

"Senior, about how long will we stay? The ninja world is still at war, we—"

"Alright, those things don't need worrying at all; everything is under our control."

Yuzhi shrugged, then patted Shisui's head and laughed.

"Besides, constantly worrying about ninja world affairs is worse than thinking about yourself; you still aren't married yet, isn't that a bit excessive, kid?"

"Senior, I just haven't found a suitable one; this isn't my fault."

Shisui rubbed his head; whenever this topic came up, he got a bit of a headache.

Although he is a few years younger than Yuzhi, strictly speaking he's roughly of the same generation, but Yuzhi now already has the 【wife, kids, and warm kang' life.

Although the child is adopted, the wife is real, after all; even though the two haven't held any wedding ceremony, everyone knows one thing.

For these two, a wedding is just a formality; doing it or not makes no difference to anyone.

As for Shisui, he's still a single dog to this day, which has made who knows how many clan members anxious to death.

This level of anxiety is probably about the same as Yuzhi and Hikari still not having a child to this day.

But the clan members really dare neither to say nor to ask about this, for these three are truly the 【sun of the Uchiha'!

But others can't, Yuzhi has no such taboos; Shisui is his junior, so it's only natural for him to give a lecture.

"Unsuitable?"

Yuzhi raised his eyebrows, then spoke disdainfully.

"What's there about suitability or not? I'll tell you, if you take a liking to someone, just go for it; don't think you're something special just because you're an Uchiha."

"Besides, you can try pursuing anyone you want now; the Uchiha have too few descendants, so you at least ought to make an effort."

"If you like someone, just give it a try—isn't that just judging by looks and being lustful, with no difference?"

Shisui stared at Yuzhi, dumbfounded, and after a while managed to speak with difficulty.

"Hey, what are you saying? How is that judging by looks? How is that being lustful? This is genetic selection."

Yuzhi immediately shook his head, then grabbed Shisui's neck and whispered.

"The only tasks our genes give us are eating and reproducing; when you instantly pick someone you like, that's your genes making the decision for you, got it?"

"Think about it: in ancient times when life was hard, women would pick strong‑built men because they could get more food, while men would choose what kind of person?"

"Good‑looking! Nowadays, women choose powerful ninjas because they can guarantee abundant living supplies, while men choose what kind of person?"

"Still good‑looking! This is called genetic selection, because genes tell you that good‑looking individuals can pass on their genes better."

"So men aren't just judging by looks, nor are they being lustful, got it?"

"Um, then this belongs to."

"Men are consistently steadfast, choosing good‑looking."

Looking at Yuzhi's solemn expression and recalling what this senior had said, Shisui was momentarily speechless.

Although that's what he says, he still feels there's a huge problem with those words.

No names.

But it cannot be denied that Ying is indeed beautiful, yet others are more than just beautiful.

Ying

"I'll redouble my effort, senior."

Shisui wouldn't dare say this; in fact, he feels he's also been influenced by Yuzhi and Hikari.

Great power, perfect compatibility, and shared topics—these are hallmarks of Yuzhi and Hikari, and they are what Shisui envies most.

They are strong, well-matched, and still able to share common topics; this is a true reflection of Yuzhi and Hikari, and also what Shisui envies most.

: "Yuzhi, Hikari, Shisui" fine.

"You can't just pick someone based on looks, even a senior wouldn't do that, right?"

Shisui muttered something to himself, but quickly dismissed the thought, rubbed his chin, and swiftly changed the subject.

: "Shisui"

"Alright, let's not talk about that; senior, you still don't have any children, right?"

Shisui smiled, but when he saw Yuzhi's eyebrows raise slightly, he quickly continued.

"The war has escalated like this; I can't afford not to worry, even though I know senior's plans are far‑reaching and the Akatsuki Organization is practically on our side."

"But that guy Itachi Uchiha remains evil; he will never give in easily, and I'm worried he'll act rashly and harm Sasuke."

: "Akatsuki Organization"

"But that guy Itachi Uchiha remains evil; he will never give in easily, and I'm worried he'll act rashly and harm Sasuke."

: "Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke"

"After all, before this he had already done similar things; if…"

No new names.

"Don't worry about that problem pointlessly."

Yuzhi heard that and couldn't help but gently shake his head; then he rubbed his chin and continued speaking.

: "Yuzhi"

"Sasuke isn't that fragile, and his strength isn't as weak as you imagine."

: "Sasuke"

Itachi Uchiha actually isn't a trouble at all; from start to finish he never was, and strictly speaking he doesn't even qualify as a problem.

: "Itachi Uchiha"

"Don't overestimate him; he's actually worthless."

Yuzhi's line left Shisui momentarily unsure how to rebut, though he wanted to say, "Better be careful."

: "Yuzhi, Shisui"

After thinking it over, he decided not to continue discussing the issue; since Yuzhi is so confident, there must be no problem.

: "Yuzhi"

"But isn't fratricidal conflict a bit too cruel?"

Shisui muttered something to himself, but he wouldn't dare voice it.

: "Shisui"

Actually, even if he asked, it wouldn't be a big deal; Yuzhi might even tell him—"Cruelty, that's exactly what I want!"

: "Yuzhi"

Yuzhi may not be a pervert, but dealing with someone who is utterly self‑righteous and believes everything they do is correct, he has never shown any mercy.

: "Yuzhi"

Yuzhi doesn't know exactly what Itachi Uchiha is thinking now; after all, he's not that kind of lunatic.

: "Itachi Uchiha, Yuzhi"

But he heard Shisui mention that the last time Itachi Uchiha faced Sasuke, his expression and movements seemed off.

: "Shisui, Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke"

This gave Yuzhi a strange thought: could this guy still be aiming to shoulder everything and save Sasuke, just like in the original story?

: "Yuzhi, Sasuke"

At that thought, Yuzhi couldn't hold back and also couldn't resist having an idea.

: "Yuzhi"

"To deal with such a steadfast lunatic, the best method is to destroy all his convictions, just like…"

No names.

"Just as Yuzhi deliberately had Tobirama Senju clean up the gate!"

: "Yuzhi, Tobirama Senju"

To handle someone like that, the best approach is to crush his heart, make him completely collapse internally, feel his self‑worth destroyed, and realize he's worthless.

No names.

Although it's unclear how Danzo's side operates, having Tobirama Senju—the person Danzo trusts most—utterly deny him would be an unimaginable critical blow!

: "Danzo, Tobirama Senju"

"Having Sasuke confront Itachi Uchiha is also a valid approach."

: "Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha"

"You care that much about your brother, don't you?"

No names.

"He still fantasizes about changing your brother's mind, right?"

No names.

"Then let your brother completely shatter all your convictions, so you realize you're worth nothing!"

No names.

Yuzhi actually still doesn't know; Obito also went down that path.

: "Yuzhi, Obito"

Although Yuzhi can sense that Obito is already dead, or that his soul has been devoured by a technique, how exactly he died remains unknown to him.

: "Yuzhi, Obito"

He only knows information from the original work; now this world is so chaotic that anyone looking at it would shake their head.

No names.

"Alright, don't overthink these messy things."

It seemed there were other matters, and perhaps he didn't want to continue discussing this with Shisui; Yuzhi stood up and then patted Shisui's shoulder.

: "Yuzhi, Shisui"

"Rest well; I've said there will be more to keep us busy later, so be mentally prepared."

"Yes, senior."

Shisui obediently nodded, while Yuzhi headed straight toward the interior of the temple.

: "Shisui, Yuzhi"

Just now, he sensed a chakra anomaly; unsurprisingly, Hikari's side likely already has some good news.

: "chakra, Hikari"

Yuzhi is also a man of his word; unless there's a necessary reason for him to "accumulate" a bit more, he's usually the first to lead the charge.

: "Yuzhi"

Although Hikari still wants to settle, this battle gave her some pressure, and at the same time Madara Uchiha and Obito stepped into that tier, prompting her to contemplate as well.

: "Hikari, Madara Uchiha, Obito"

"Perhaps I can enter first, then refine it slowly?"

: "With this shift in thinking, everything became simple; furthermore, this improvement, compared to Yuzhi's previous one, was much easier." No Chinese.

With this shift in mindset, everything became simpler, and this upgrade, compared to Yuzhi's, felt much easier.

Heijue should be completely dead; as a continuation of Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra, encountering a technique left him no chance of survival.

: "Heijue, Kaguya Otsutsuki, chakra" Heijue is pinyin for Black Zetsu? Might be okay.

And his chakra entered Yuzhi's reward list, which, in a sense, validates his viewpoint.

: "chakra, Yuzhi"

Kaguya's chakra, for Yuzhi, Hikari, and everyone who inherits her bloodline, is an extraordinary supplement!

: "Kaguya, Yuzhi, Hikari, chakra"

He walked slowly to the temple's core area, and suddenly Yuzhi felt the chakra of the Reincarnation Eye wildly surging.

: "Yuzhi, Reincarnation Eye, chakra"

Meanwhile, Hikari stood calmly within the radiance, like a celestial being, her sacred glow so overwhelming that no one dared to stare directly.

: "Hikari"

Around her, fierce chakra continuously reverberated, and her aura gradually expanded toward the pinnacle.

: "chakra"

Seeing the scene and feeling the boiling bloodline within Hikari's body, Yuzhi smiled faintly.

: "Hikari, Yuzhi"

Buzz—

No names.

In the next instant, a towering pillar of light pierced the temple, traversed the entire moon interior, and shot straight into the depths of space.

: empty line? We have "【165】" with nothing after. Ensure no space after? We'll output "【165】" (no space). That's fine.

The rumbling chakra, as if carrying beautiful notes, resonated throughout the universe, and Yuzhi knew everything was finally over!

: "chakra, Yuzhi"

Looking at the beautiful woman and feeling the incredibly intimate aura she exuded, Yuzhi let out a light laugh.

: "Yuzhi"

Immediately he seemed to recall something, his expression deliberately turning solemn, and then he spoke in a low voice.

"Welcome to the new world, Hikari."

Translation: "Welcome to the new world, Hikari."

——

The moon set and the sun rose; at the moment the golden rooster broke dawn, a new day began again.

In the Land of Fire, inside Leaf Village, Sasuke stood honestly at Yuzhi's doorstep.

At this point, Sasuke already looked somewhat like an adult, and his attire was increasingly resembling Yuzhi's.

A simple Uchiha Clan traditional combat uniform, with a ninja sword hung at his waist, without any frills—this is Sasuke now.

But it must be said that Sasuke indeed inherited the Uchiha Clan's 'fine tradition'; under the support of that 'fine tradition', he actually looks fine in whatever he wears.

Moreover, the three years of war gave him tremendous growth; now he appears even more capable and resolute.

So early, Father, do you have any mission to assign to me?

Standing quietly, Sasuke kept thinking in his heart; he had just returned to the village yesterday, and today he was summoned.

This made him curious about what exactly it was, but Sasuke still, as before, obeys Yuzhi's words without question.

No matter what Yuzhi says, he will listen attentively and carry it out properly.

Have you come?

Just as Sasuke waited quietly, suddenly a voice sounded in his ear.

Come in quickly.

Upon hearing those words, Sasuke immediately stood up, not finding it strange that no one was seen and even the door wasn't opened, yet his father's voice could reach his ears.

In his view, his father was already a 'mythological' figure, so this small matter was nothing surprising.

And when he had just entered the room and saw Yuzhi and Hikari together, Yuzhi suddenly smiled and spoke to him, and those words made Sasuke's heart skip a beat instantly.

Sorry, I called you over just as you returned, but I have obtained some interesting information I want to tell you.

Perhaps we have obtained the exact whereabouts of Itachi Uchiha.
