Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

Xiuzawa had always known just how exaggerated the Uchiha's arrogance and conceit were.

However, arrogance and conceit are not the same as being brainless. They are not like the Kaguya clan; they are just lunatics, not idiots.

"So, the problem lies with Uchiha Itachi?"

Xiuzawa found it difficult to judge, after all, he couldn't find any relevant information in his memory. Perhaps he had forgotten, or perhaps it was never explained.

But no matter what, things seemed to be developing in the direction he remembered.

"So, it's better for you to be a little more well-behaved now and not cause too much trouble."

Tsunade sighed and gently shook her head.

"Especially since that old man can't fall right now. Someone has to shoulder those troublesome things."

Xiuzawa nodded. Although Tsunade's words seemed to imply a bit of 'not wanting to take responsibility'.

However, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru still had some affection for Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the current situation in Konoha was indeed a headache.

The troubles outside were increasing, and the internal Uchiha clan was also becoming more chaotic. It was clear that the Hokage was having a hard time these days.

"Perhaps I should go see Shisui."

Xiuzawa pondered secretly, while Yugao and Shizune seemed a little dazed. They really hadn't expected the situation within the village to be so serious.

Shizune was probably better off, having followed Tsunade for so long, she understood some things. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seamlessly taken over the 'Hokage Secret Technique' position.

And although Yugao had spent a long time in the Anbu, she was bombarded with so much dense and troublesome information as soon as she returned, and she was somewhat unable to react for a while.

"Alright, rest early. You two have to go to the hospital with me tomorrow."

Tsunade clapped her hands, then stood up. Her gaze turned to Xiuzawa again.

"And you, although I probably won't let you go on missions recently, I still think it's better for you to be honest, understand?"

However, as she spoke, her gaze seemed a little strange, because she always felt that Xiuzawa seemed a little different now.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on where the difference was, which made her feel somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, yes, I understand, Teacher."

Xiuzawa pursed his lips and casually agreed, but he was complaining in his heart, if I were well-behaved, how would I improve?

[Zhiyuan Xiuzawa]

[Overall Physical Quality: LV12]

[Chakra: LV10]

[Abilities: Wood Release LV8, Flying Thunder God LV7, Body Technique 7, Yin Release LV7, Blaze Release LV7, Yang Release · Chakra Mode LV8]

[Free Points: 5]

"Only 5 free points left again."

Xiuzawa had already added all the points he needed to add when Tsunade returned.

Yang Release Chakra Mode was his strongest combat mode at the moment, and it also covered [Cursed Seal] and [Yang Release], so he unceremoniously upgraded it again.

And the improvement of Yang Release allowed his [Wood Release] to reduce the consumption of 7 free points, so he only used 14 free points to complete the upgrade.

After some consideration, he ultimately put his efforts into physical fitness with the remaining 16 free points!

In the past, he only needed to be durable enough, but the appearance of advanced ninjutsu like [Yang Release · Chakra Mode] placed extremely high demands on his body's load.

This forced Xiuzawa to pay more attention to his own body. Fortunately, this time he discovered that he didn't seem to experience the same painful feeling as last time.

But instead, there was a feeling of blood being completely ignited!

[Due to the improvement of physical fitness, a large number of mutations have occurred in the body's bloodline, please pay attention to observation]

This time, the prompt had changed again.

From the initial 'slight' to the subsequent 'certain', now the term directly became 'large number', which made Xiuzawa more and more curious in addition to being amazed.

What exactly did this bloodline mutation mean? The most obvious and easy-to-understand thing was probably getting an upgrade.

But no matter what, this was a good thing!

After all, the world of ninjas is ultimately one where bloodlines reign supreme. Xiuzawa's refining and upgrading of his bloodline was to gain a firm foothold in this world while advancing towards a stronger path.

"So, Teacher Tsunade, how can you ask me to stop?"

"Shisui, you're here?"

In a training ground of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, Shisui was training seriously.

However, a voice behind him suddenly interrupted his thoughts, which made him stop involuntarily.

"It's Itachi, you're back?"

Turning his head and looking at the figure walking towards him, he forced a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. Why didn't you go straight home? I heard that Sasuke has been talking about you all the time, and Izumi seems to have been complaining that you haven't looked for them in a long time."

Under the moonlight, a figure slowly came into view, it was Uchiha Itachi, wearing an Anbu uniform!

Listening to Shisui's words, Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then gently shook his head.

"I'll go back later, but the recent mission pressure has been a bit high. I hope you can take care of Sasuke on weekdays."

Shisui tilted his head, just Sasuke?

However, he didn't say too much to Uchiha Itachi, after all, their current situation wasn't particularly good.

Having been in the Anbu himself, he naturally knew how the Anbu felt about the Uchiha clan.

More importantly, the current Uchiha were already moving towards a visible abyss!

"Don't worry, I'll do it even if you don't tell me."

Shisui sighed, then asked.

"How have you been recently? Is there anything going on in the Anbu? Of course, if you don't want to say, then don't, I know the rules."

"Actually, it's the same as always, nothing different, after all, there are very few things that can be hidden from the Anbu."

Uchiha Itachi hesitated, but in the end, he didn't say some things, it seemed that he didn't want to reveal too much about the Anbu.

Seeing this scene, Shisui couldn't help but shake his head. Although he already understood what was going on, he felt that Itachi could have said it more clearly.

But he didn't want to ask more. The Anbu had rules, he understood in his heart, so he would let his little brother abide by the rules.

However, he could also hear that the surveillance of the Uchiha was probably even more focused now, otherwise Uchiha Itachi's mission pressure wouldn't have increased.

Even less would he not come home late at night, running to his place. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Thank you for your hard work, Itachi. The people in the clan are a little crazy now."

"Yes, it's always clan, clan, with no concept of village at all. If this continues..."

Uchiha Itachi clenched his fist slightly, and at the same time, he lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought.

But his words made Shisui frown slightly. Why did these words sound like he wasn't putting the clan in a suitable position?

In Shisui's mind, the clan and the village coexisted.

Without the village, the large Uchiha clan naturally couldn't be protected, but without the clan, the village couldn't gain the power of the Uchiha to protect it!

The two coexist, sharing honor and disgrace. This was his belief.

He and the elders behind him all yearned for the clan to truly integrate into Konoha and receive relatively fair treatment. He had been working hard for this!

Therefore, he disliked those extremists in the clan who wanted to completely tear apart the relationship and resort to violence.

He also hated those who, in Hidekazu's words, slandered and damaged the clan's reputation, pushing them to the brink!

It could be said that Shisui placed the clan and the village in the same position in his heart, willing to risk his life for either.

Uchiha Itachi's words made him feel a little uneasy, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he could only sigh.

"Don't say anymore. You've been tired recently. You should rest well. In these troubled times, you can't deal with various troubles without sufficient energy."

"Are you chasing me away already? I still wanted to spar with you."

Uchiha Itachi also stopped the previous topic. After pondering for a moment, he reluctantly smiled and said.

"Forget it. You don't look like you're in a good mental state right now. I don't know how Kakashi-senpai is teaching you."

Shisui shook his head, seeming to complain about Kakashi, and Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment. After a little hesitation, he said helplessly.

"Shisui, you shouldn't have withdrawn from the Anbu. At least, you shouldn't have rushed to withdraw before investigating Uchiha Obito clearly."

"Oh?"

Shisui wasn't stupid either, and seemed to realize something.

"They... discovered something?"

"I don't know. I was excluded from the mission. The specific situation is unknown, but they just came back."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, but soon he showed a wry smile.

"I don't know if it's against the rules to say these things, but you were once a member of the mission team, so perhaps you can ask.

After all, Uchiha Obito was the mastermind of the Nine-Tailed Fox incident. I think we should also get more accurate information."

"Indeed."

Shisui nodded lightly. He had been trying to find Hidekazu all this time, but unfortunately, Hidekazu was never home.

After all, Hidekazu was in the Anbu, and Shisui couldn't know his action plan. Now that he had unexpectedly received this news, his eyes lit up slightly.

Now, he seemed like he could go see Hidekazu!

He had so much to say, so many questions, that he wanted to discuss with Hidekazu.

"Time to slack off again."

The next day, inside the Senju clan's ancestral residence.

After sending Tsunade, Yuugao, and Shizune away, Hidekazu yawned and returned to his room.

Having just completed the Kirigakure mission, he didn't have to worry about the remaining matters so much.

How Konoha should negotiate, how to negotiate, he could perhaps discuss with Tsunade and Jiraiya, but as for participating in it, forget it.

"What a pity, that Ao was on our side at the time. Otherwise, I would have really gouged out his eyes!"

Ao's Byakugan was the main family's Byakugan. Getting this thing would be a good choice, whether Hidekazu studied it carefully or used it to give a favor to the Hyuga clan.

Unfortunately, there was no chance this time. Perhaps it could be recovered through negotiations, but it didn't have much to do with Hidekazu anymore.

"I should continue searching for information properly. Anyway, there's not much left. Maybe I can finish reading it!"

From the time Hidekazu received the Senju clan's scrolls until now, so much time had already passed, and he had almost finished reading them.

After all, without knowing the exact time point, what was clear was that the Uzumaki clan and Hiruzen Sarutobi had already formed an alliance with the Senju.

Therefore, he also positioned himself to start reviewing at this approximate time point, and Hidekazu really didn't slack off. Several hundred years was really not that easy to finish reading!

"Hopefully, I can find useful clues, so I can also go out and try out my new abilities."

While flipping through the scrolls, Hidekazu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

[Shinobi World Scientist] was still very powerful, and he had also obtained a new ability because of it, but this ability was completely attached to his [Yōton: Chakra Mode].

Meaning that only after he used [Yōton: Chakra Mode] could he use that technique!

But this was also good, at least he didn't need to add extra points for this technique, but the system didn't give data on the specific effects and consumption level of this technique.

In his mind, there was only the operation, the ultimate, and the concept that the more chakra injected, the stronger it would be.

"I'm afraid the system also doesn't know what it will be like after I cast it, and I need to do it myself once to get the result, right?"

Hidekazu was extremely expectant of this technique, even if it wasn't something created by 'Ork Logic'.

But at least it could verify how powerful [Shinobi World Scientist] was. After all, he still had one chance!

If the effect was appropriate, he had already begun to consider starting with the Flying Thunder God Technique to see if he could create some improvements and sublimations in space ninjutsu.

As for this technique that he had obtained, he also named it without any politeness: Gold Wheel Reincarnation Blast!

After all, it was a product under the Chakra Mode, and judging from the images in his mind, it didn't seem too different.

Since that was the case, he didn't mind snatching Toneri Ōtsutsuki's skill...

Time passed bit by bit, but just as he was reading seriously, suddenly a voice came from downstairs.
