Uchiha Yuzuru naturally understood Uchiha Mikoto's intent, and couldn't help feeling touched.
Mikoto truly was gentle, always making him feel cared for in subtle ways.
After hearing Uchiha Mikoto's reminder, Uzumaki Kushina said somewhat hesitantly, "Should we postpone the visit? Mikoto and I can go shopping instead."
"I happened to buy extra breakfast. Please join me."
The moment he saw Uzumaki Kushina, certain ideas had flashed through Uchiha Yuzuru's mind.
Kushina's identity was extremely special.
As the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, her daily life had always been monitored by the village.
Although Uzumaki Kushina hadn't faced too many restrictions in the village because Uzumaki Mito was still alive, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others definitely didn't want her having too much contact with Uchiha ninja either.
If he could use Kushina's status to make the clan recognize just how guarded the Konoha higher-ups were toward them, it would greatly help his future plan to "relocate the entire clan."
"Burp~ So full~"
Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina rubbed their round bellies and burped simultaneously.
Their appetites weren't actually small, but Uchiha Yuzuru's appetite was even larger.
So just one portion was already enough to stuff them both.
"Here, have some water."
Uchiha Yuzuru poured glasses of water for Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina, then turned and left the room for the yard.
Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto exchanged glances, then both stood and followed him out.
Watching Uchiha Yuzuru turn the soil, Uzumaki Kushina asked curiously, "Yuzuru, what are you doing?"
Without looking up, Uchiha Yuzuru replied, "With such a big yard, it seems a waste not to plant something."
"I'm planning to grow some vegetables."
Hearing Uchiha Yuzuru's explanation, both Uchiha Mikoto's and Uzumaki Kushina's faces filled with curiosity.
"Growing vegetables?"
"That sounds really interesting."
In the Naruto world, ninja didn't engage in production.
Things like farming were only done by peasants living outside the villages.
Uchiha Mikoto had at least occasionally seen farmland when accompanying clan members on patrol.
Uzumaki Kushina was different—she'd always been restricted from leaving the village and knew almost nothing about such things.
"Yuzuru, I want to plant too. Do you just bury seeds in the ground?"
"Of course not."
"Then can you teach me? Yuzuru, I want to learn gardening from you!"
"Uh... all right."
Uchiha Mikoto went to buy seeds while Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Yuzuru tilled the soil.
They worked all morning before finally clearing a small vegetable patch in the yard.
Uzumaki Kushina wiped the sweat from her face and said excitedly, "Yuzuru, this is my first time planting vegetables. Help me take care of them, and I'll definitely come check on them often."
Uchiha Yuzuru simply nodded in agreement.
He'd originally wanted to use contact with Kushina to force the Konoha higher-ups to make statements like "prohibit Uchiha clan members from contacting the Jinchuriki," so naturally he wouldn't refuse Uzumaki Kushina's request.
After receiving Uchiha Yuzuru's answer, Uzumaki Kushina jumped up excitedly.
"Then it's settled. I'll come find you again tomorrow."
"Mikoto, let's go shopping!"
"Wait..."
Being pulled along by Uzumaki Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto quickly said, "Yuzuru, Father says to come to our house for dinner tonight."
"Got it."
After the two left, Uchiha Yuzuru closed the door, excitement flashing in his eyes.
Finally he had time to properly experience his own power.
Inside his room, Uchiha Yuzuru sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began examining the chakra within his body.
With just a simple sensing, the corners of Uchiha Yuzuru's mouth couldn't help curving upward slightly.
The chakra the system had rewarded him was stackable.
After awakening his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he'd already possessed Jonin-level chakra.
Later, opening system chests had granted him Genin, Chunin, Jonin, and Kage-level chakra on four separate occasions.
Although the Genin and Chunin-level chakra could almost be ignored, the stacking of two Jonin-level chakra reserves plus one Kage-level reserve made his chakra extremely abundant.
Add to that the surge in chakra after awakening his Mangekyo Sharingan...
Uchiha Yuzuru felt that even among Kage-level powerhouses, those whose chakra quantity exceeded his would only be Jinchuriki or ninja with special constitutions like Hoshigaki Kisame.
After sensing the chakra in his body, Uchiha Yuzuru directly activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Kamui!"
The surrounding space began twisting like a vortex, and Uchiha Yuzuru's figure vanished instantly.
"So this is the Kamui dimension?"
Unlike Uchiha Obito's Kamui dimension in the original story, which was filled with stone pillars, Uchiha Yuzuru's Kamui dimension was a flat expanse stretching endlessly.
The alternate dimension wasn't dark either—rather, it was as bright as daylight.
Moreover, having obtained Kamui's power, Uchiha Yuzuru now possessed an inexplicable perception of space.
He could mark any location or object, then activate Kamui to instantly transfer himself to the corresponding marked location.
The farther the distance, the more chakra and ocular power consumed.
This aspect was somewhat similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique.
After surveying the surroundings a bit more, Uchiha Yuzuru nodded in satisfaction.
From what he could tell, his Kamui and Uchiha Obito's Kamui weren't connected.
That was for the best.
He didn't want his territory to become someone else's backyard they could enter and exit at will.
After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Yuzuru began forming hand seals.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
Uchiha Yuzuru hadn't trained in Lightning Release techniques, so after releasing the other four nature types, he stopped.
Originally he'd only possessed Wind and Fire chakra natures. Although he could release Earth Release and Water Release techniques through chakra transformation, the chakra consumption was not only greater, but the power was also less than satisfactory.
Now with five-nature chakra, Uchiha Yuzuru felt his combat capability had instantly risen an entire tier.
After all, each nature type had its own strengths and weaknesses. Possessing five-nature chakra meant he could employ the most suitable means to face opponents in battle.
Uchiha Yuzuru didn't separately test his shurikenjutsu or Uchiha-style kenjutsu.
After all, these were taijutsu skills. With just a thought, he could feel that honed-to-perfection, effortless sensation.
It could be said that he now had virtually no weaknesses and had completely grown into a true hexagonal warrior.
