The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the evening clouds a fiery maple red, like clouds of fire spreading across the horizon.
Uchiha Yuzuru walked out of his room, stretching with his hands raised above his head.
The plans for what to do next were largely set.
Now, he just needed to stay vigilant and quietly wait for the prey to come to him.
After a brief moment of thought, Uchiha Yuzuru walked to his right.
Soon, he saw Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto hugging each other.
"You two?"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's surprised gaze, Uchiha Mikoto quickly let go of Uzumaki Kushina: "Yuzuru, we haven't seen each other in so long, so..."
"Don't misunderstand."
Uzumaki Kushina exclaimed, "Oh!" and pulled Uchiha Mikoto's hand, saying, "We're good sisters hugging and chatting, there's nothing to explain."
"Speaking of which... did your Clan Chief scold you for bringing me here without permission?"
Uzumaki Kushina knew very well that as the future Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, Konoha Village would definitely not give her up easily.
Taking her along could very likely implicate the Uchiha Clan.
Uzumaki Kushina had already thought that if the Uchiha clansmen minded, she would leave on her own.
Uchiha Yuzuru reached out and rubbed Uzumaki Kushina's head, saying with dissatisfaction: "Did I bring you out just to abandon you?"
"I'm in charge of the Uchiha Clan now, so from now on, you can treat this place as your own home."
Uchiha Mikoto echoed: "That's right, Yuzuru is the hero of our Uchiha Clan, so even if it's just because of Yuzuru, everyone will accept you."
Upon hearing Uchiha Mikoto's words, Uzumaki Kushina's face flushed.
What did she mean by "even if it's just because of Yuzuru"... Did Mikoto notice something?
Uchiha Yuzuru casually sat on the ground and said calmly: "I'm not a hero; I just do what I want to do and protect the people I want to protect!"
Uchiha Mikoto, uncharacteristically, retorted: "No, you are a hero, the hero who saved the Uchiha Clan."
And my hero too, Uzumaki Kushina added in her heart.
Seeing Uchiha Mikoto's serious expression, Uchiha Yuzuru reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
"Yuzuru, Kushina is still here..."
"It's fine."
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru and Uchiha Mikoto close together, Uzumaki Kushina's face showed a hint of envy mixed with disappointment.
Suddenly, a large hand quietly reached over and grabbed her hand.
"Ah!"
"Kushina, what's wrong?"
"N-nothing, there was a bug."
After Uzumaki Kushina finished speaking, she glared at Uchiha Yuzuru with a mix of surprise and fear, but her body no longer struggled.
--------
At night, everyone gathered to eat.
When the Uchiha clansmen learned of Uzumaki Kushina's true identity, everyone's mouths dropped open in shock.
A moment later, joyful laughter continuously rang out.
"Hahahahaha... As expected of Lord Yuzuru, he even managed to abduct the future Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki. Those bastards in Konoha are going to be furious."
"Yeah, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others must be having a massive headache right now. A Nine-Tailed rampage isn't something that can be stopped so easily."
"Now that Konoha is missing Kushina and our Uchiha Sharingan, if the Nine-Tailed goes berserk, Konoha will turn into ruins."
"Kushina, right? From now on, you can live with us in peace. We'll deal with those enemies from Konoha."
Listening to the hearty voices of the Uchiha clansmen, Uzumaki Kushina felt a warmth in her heart.
Thinking of this, Uzumaki Kushina took out a Seal scroll from her embrace and walked up to Uchiha Yuzuru, saying: "Yuzuru, this scroll contains the Sealing Jutsu of our Uzumaki Clan. Now I'm entrusting it to the Uchiha."
Upon hearing Uzumaki Kushina's words, the previously noisy scene instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Uzumaki Kushina in astonishment.
The Sealing Jutsu of the Uzumaki Clan... was something coveted by the entire Ninja World.
Otherwise, the Land of Whirlpools would not have been annihilated back then.
Such a precious item, even a prominent Ninja clan like the Uchiha could not remain indifferent.
Uchiha Yuzuru was also somewhat surprised and asked: "Kushina, this is the legacy of the Uzumaki Clan, are you sure you can give it to us?"
Uzumaki Kushina nodded vigorously: "Yes, you all accepted me, so I want to contribute to the Uchiha too!"
"Good!"
Someone shouted, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause.
Uzumaki Kushina was happy to be accepted by the Uchiha Clan, and the Uchiha Clan, in turn, was proud to have gained the recognition of the Uzumaki orphan.
--------
Early the next morning, Uchiha Yuzuru was woken by a knock on the door.
He opened the door and immediately saw Uchiha Obito wearing goggles.
"Obito, what do you want so early in the morning?"
"Big Brother Yuzuru!" Uchiha Obito shouted, "Please teach me to be a Ninja! I don't want to be surpassed by those guys at the Ninja Academy."
Although he had only been at the Ninja Academy for less than ten days, Uchiha Obito already had several guys he wanted to surpass.
Kakashi, the stinky fish-eyed guy who never looked at people directly; Might Guy, the face-blind guy who always wore green tights and yelled about youth; Asuma Sarutobi, the Hokage's son who was even more unruly than the Uchiha... all these guys mocked him as a dead last!
Although he had already left Konoha, the next time they met, he would definitely step on those guys and show them what a true Uchiha was!
Hearing this, Uchiha Yuzuru said calmly: "Don't we have dedicated people in the clan to teach you?"
"I don't like it." Uchiha Obito shook his head, "Those clansmen aren't strong enough, and they also spend half the day studying cultural lessons..."
"I want to become the strongest Uchiha, Big Brother Yuzuru, can you teach me?!"
Seeing Uchiha Obito's expectant gaze, Uchiha Yuzuru stroked his chin: "Obito, becoming strong isn't an easy thing. Can you persevere?"
"Of course!" Uchiha Obito pointed to himself confidently, "I'm not someone who gives up easily."
"Alright then."
There wasn't much to do anyway, so training Uchiha Obito wasn't a bad idea.
"That's great!"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru agree, Uchiha Obito jumped up excitedly.
Uchiha Yuzuru was the most Genius Ninja in the clan in recent years, and now he also possessed the legendary Mangekyo Sharingan... As long as he trained with Uchiha Yuzuru, he would definitely become the next strongest!
--------
"Big Brother Yuzuru, I want to study cultural lessons."
Uchiha Obito lay on the ground, exhausted, with an expression of utter despair.
Pain!
So much pain!
He felt like he was going to die.
Did this high-intensity training even treat him like a human being?!
