[V2] - Chapter 97. Compensate
---
"Do you know about that legend in Uchiha history?"
"Uncle Yuto, if you have something to say, just say it!" Sasuke looked at Uncle Yuto a little resentfully. "I really have to go home for dinner!"
"Don't worry! Educating a nephew is something an uncle should do! I'll explain it to Sister Mikoto!" Yuto waved his hand, then continued seriously, "The Shura of the Ninja World! That powerful man who stood equal with Senju Hashirama—do you know him?"
"Uchiha Madara? Is there any Uchiha who doesn't know that?"
"Very good! Looks like you do know it." Yuto nodded in satisfaction, then said solemnly, "Now, I will pass on to you the legendary secret technique of the Uchiha—the technique that made the Shura of the Ninja World famous!"
However—
As soon as he finished—
The nephew in front of him didn't react with excitement as he expected, but instead started sweating profusely, watching Yuto with great vigilance. "Uncle Yuto! Don't scam me! Obito-sensei secretly told me about the so-called Shura of the Ninja World's secret technique!"
"…"
This Uchiha Obito… what is he teaching kids?
Yuto's mouth twitched slightly, then he sighed deeply and lifted his head at a forty-five-degree angle, gazing at the sky in disappointment. "Your Brother Obito still won't forgive me, his father?"
"???"
Sasuke was stunned, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at Uncle Yuto in disbelief. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Don't tell me… Obito-sensei is Uncle Yuto's…"
"That's right! My son!" Yuto nodded without hesitation and solemnly patted Sasuke's shoulder. "Do you think a father would harm his own son, or his own nephew?"
"But… Onii-chan also told me to be careful about what you say, Uncle Yuto!"
"That Itachi~ He must be worried that I'm being too strict on you!"
"But even my father told me when I was little to stay away from you! And the Chief Elder… he also said you're bad news, that you might lead kids astray! Even that mysterious one-armed guest you brought over last time secretly told me too!"
"…"
This Uchiha clan… how am I supposed to stay here?
What kind of education is this!
Yuto's mouth twitched again as he looked at Sasuke's suspicious face, clearly saying: "Uncle, I'm your actual nephew, please don't mess with me!"
Why isn't this Sasuke more like the other Sasuke?
The other one, just hearing about a chance to grow stronger, would shamelessly run over right away. But this second nephew is so cautious, so timid!
Who taught him?
There is not even a trace of arrogance like a strong man should have!
Yuto fake-coughed twice, then looked at Sasuke seriously. "This is the signature secret technique of the Shura of the Ninja World!"
"I know! I know! But this kind of thing easily makes you lose friends!"
"…"
This brat knows that too?!
Yuto's mouth twitched again, but seeing Sasuke so cautious, with no intention other than to go home for dinner, he let out a disappointed sigh. "I didn't expect it… the once-legendary secret technique of the Shura of the Ninja World, and now no one wants to learn it. Even our ancestors must be heartbroken! Forget it! Go on, go home!"
"Then… I'll head home now!"
Just as Sasuke was about to turn and leave, seeing that Uncle Yuto was finally letting him go—
Suddenly—
"Wait a moment!"
Uncle Yuto spoke again.
Sasuke had no choice but to turn around in confusion. "Uncle Yuto, is there something else?"
Just as he finished speaking—
"Here, take this!" Yuto took out a virtual device from his ninja tool pouch and handed it to Sasuke with a smile. "Think of it as a gift from your uncle. You'll be able to use it in a while!"
"?!" Sasuke froze slightly, looking at the virtual device in his arms. He instantly understood what it was. After all, because of Boruto's livestreams recently, many people had heard about virtual reality games. Though it hadn't launched yet, the online buzz was crazy. He didn't expect it was finally coming out now?
His heart surged with excitement. "Awesome! Thank you, Uncle Yuto!"
Actually, Uncle Yuto is really nice to him!
If it weren't for Dad, Onii-chan, the Chief Elder, and Obito-sensei… he would definitely listen to Uncle Yuto!
"Then I'll head back!"
"You really don't want to learn the secret technique of the Shura of the Ninja World? Don't worry, as your blood-related uncle, how could I ever harm you!"
"Forget it!" Hearing that again, Sasuke smiled awkwardly. "I…"
However—
Before he could finish—
Suddenly—
"Boom!!!"
A loud explosion echoed from nearby.
An enemy attack?!
Someone dared to cause trouble in Konoha at a time like this? Do they want to taste pain?
Both of them were stunned, then instinctively turned their heads to look into the distance.
At that moment—
In front of them.
The ground was covered in enormous plants, and on top of them… two figures were engaged in a fierce battle.
The terrifying aura—
Uchiha Sasuke was dumbfounded. "Those two are actually that strong?!"
Weren't they just a blind guy and an idiot last time?!
As he said that—
Yuto also seemed to notice, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. "That is the Shura of the Ninja World! The secret technique of the Uchiha… do you want to learn it? I can teach you!"
Only—
Why are those two guys fighting in the village again?
Didn't Uchiha Madara leave a few days ago to search for Black Zetsu to get answers?
Could it be…
Madara is planning to carry out his Infinite Tsukuyomi plan again?
…
At the same time—
Senju Tobirama was also staring blankly at the two fast-moving figures in the sky.
Recalling just moments ago...
At first, the two of them were getting along just fine.
And he himself had resigned to reality—today's ninja world was no longer the same as before. As long as that evil Uchiha Madara didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't interfere.
But then—
Who would've thought…
All because they lost a game.
Uchiha Madara blamed his big brother for not following commands, Hashirama blamed Madara for not being a team player. He said it was his fault, the other said it was his fault—they just kept blaming each other.
In the end—
After five consecutive losses, they went straight to real-life Mortal Kombat!
Senju Tobirama looked at the two figures still fighting in the sky, black lines covering his face.
You bastards!
At this point, he might as well not have transplanted the eyes and just let his big brother support him.
Back when Uchiha Madara was blind, his brother would at least back down, but now that his eyes were fine, the two had started fighting again.
What the hell are these two big idiots doing?!
At that moment—
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Tsunade came running over in a panic. Looking at Tobirama who was still sighing with emotion, she urgently shouted, "Stop them! Stop them right now! If they keep fighting like this… our clan's land will be gone! And we'll have to compensate for damages! At least several billion!"
"Compensate? Compensate for what?" Tobirama asked Tsunade in confusion. "There's barely anyone around here. All they're damaging is the Senju clan's territory, isn't it?"
"But…" Tsunade was sweating nervously and said, "A few years ago, the village planned to develop the Senju Park here. For the village's sake—and because I rarely stayed in the village—I sold off most of our clan's land a long time ago. Most of this area isn't ours anymore. It now belongs to the village!"
"?!" Tobirama's eyes twitched. He felt a wave of bad premonition and hesitantly asked, "The money?"
"I lost it all!"
"…"
Tobirama clutched his chest as he looked at the foundation of the Senju clan before him.
Damn it.
He and his big brother had just returned… and their clan's legacy was already squandered?!
But—
Tsunade continued to shout anxiously, "Stop them quickly! If they destroy more, we'll have to pay for the damages!"
As soon as she finished—
"Pay for damages?!"
Tobirama froze, then looked up at the two still-fighting figures in the sky, then at the billions in losses on the ground. He seemed to understand something. His whole aura flared up as he activated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and vanished from where he stood, roaring—
"Stop fighting already!"
"Huh? Tobirama, you…"
"Just a Senju Tobirama…"
"Shut up! Both of you get down here this instant!"
"…" ×2
The terrifying aura made the two of them instinctively freeze in place.
They were just sparring, weren't they?
Why is Tobirama (this guy) so mad?!
