Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

"Shh!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Uchiha Hikari turned her head slightly and saw that Uchiha Gin, whom she had just pulled into Susanoo's arms, had appeared behind her at some point.
"Xiao Guang, please, please keep your voice down, don't let the younger brothers hear."

He bent forward, tilted his head, and whispered in Uchiha Hikaru's ear, pleading in a slightly helpless voice,

It's only Konoha Year 33 now, and there are still nearly 30 years before the main story unfolds. Uchiha Gin doesn't want to reveal his disguise, which he's kept hidden for so many years, so early, as that would take away a lot of the fun.

"I didn't expect you to be so skilled at it."

Uchiha Hikaru glanced at the "Uchiha Silver" that had dissipated into particles of light in Susanoo's hand, and a barely perceptible smirk appeared on his lips.
"I'll keep it a secret, but I want you."

"You're taking advantage of someone in distress!"

Sensing a predatory gaze, Uchiha Gin involuntarily tensed up. Uchiha Hikaru smiled knowingly, her slender white fingers lightly tapping on the thick armor covering Uchiha Gin's chest, her tone dripping with intimidation.
"Oh? This knight, you don't want your younger brothers to know about your human form, do you?"

"Deal. As long as you don't tell my cousin and the others about this, I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

Uchiha Gin's eyes were filled with resentment and despair, his heart ashen.

"Big brother, Big Sister and Boss E are fighting!"

The scene of Uchiha Hikaru Susanoo embracing the prisoner happened to be seen by Uchiha Izuna, who turned around to look. Startled, he immediately called for Uchiha Madara, who was ahead, to come and see what was going on.

"Huh? No way, aren't they standing together perfectly fine?"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha turned his head and glanced into the distance, his tense expression instantly crumbling.
From his perspective, Uchiha Hikaru and Evolt stood together, fighting against Jigen and an army of countless clones—a truly awe-inspiring scene.
"Huh? But that's exactly what happened just now."

"It must be because you were too tense during the fight that you experienced a brief hallucination after relaxing."

"A hallucination?

Seeing Izuna arguing vehemently, Madara Uchiha, with a serious expression, successfully silenced his brother with a well-reasoned explanation. At the same time, his gaze shifted to the chaotic battlefield not far away.

"Hurry up, Tsunade can't hold on much longer."

"Secret Technique: Dream Seal!"

Reimu Hakurei held a demon-slaying staff in her left hand and a spell card in her right, countless blue talismans floating around her. A huge yin-yang sphere loomed behind her.
"Boom!"

With a flick of her arm, talismans rained down like a barrage of bullets, all striking the half-pillar opposite her, who was clad in tattered armor and moved like a zombie. The violent explosions sent Tsunade, who was standing by in anticipation, swaying from side to side.

"Hoo hoo. What the hell is this thing?"

After the smoke cleared, Reimu, slightly out of breath, looked at the 0.5 pillar that still stood and writhed despite her fierce attack, and a rare look of disgust appeared on her fair face.

Despite lacking a human soul, it possesses such formidable vitality and self-healing abilities. This deformed, artificial life form is even more repulsive than the demons and monsters in the legends of the Land of Demons.
"Ah~~~ Ha!"

On the other side, Tsunade, seizing the opportunity, leaped up, her hands wielding chakra scalpels that gleamed with a cold light, and cleaved straight down, determined to split the clone, which had been flattened and then revived by Uchiha Hikaru, in two.
"Pfft!"

The sharp chakra blade easily sliced ​​through the shattered armor under Reimu's barrage of bullets, and a jet of blood shot into the sky, staining the surrounding fog red.

"Click."

But before Tsunade could even show a hint of joy, a sickeningly loud cracking sound sent her heart sinking to the bottom.
That was the sound of a blade being caught in bone. A chilling crimson glint flashed in the half-shattered compound eye of the shoulder, blood spurting from its socket. Suddenly, the twisted, drooping arm shot up high.

"Hiss."

Her still-healing vocal cords emitted a chilling growl. Sensing the threat of death, Tsunade quickly withdrew her hand, and the blue chakra scalpel vanished.

"Roar!"

But the twisted, deformed arm of the 0.5 pillar had already fallen, and the force of the wind almost blinded Tsunade. Only she, as the person directly involved, could directly feel the terrifying power contained in the attack.
Knowing she couldn't dodge, Tsunade gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and decided to take the hit head-on. She crossed her arms above her head, her eyes filled with determination.
"Oh!"

As expected, the deformed, zombified Pillar 0.5 possessed power far exceeding its previous strength. Tsunade was sent flying backward, her arms twisted at an irregular angle as she blocked, blood gushing from her mouth and nose—a truly gruesome sight.
Although she had never been directly hit by a tailed beast, she felt that this elbow strike was no different from being hit by one.
"Shh!"

Just as Tsunade was about to crash uncontrollably into a sharp, protruding stone pillar in the distance, Reimu Hakurei, who was closest to her, appeared behind her in a flash.

"what!"

She wrapped her arms around Tsunade's slender waist, using all her strength to stop Tsunade from flying backward, her fair face turning bright red as she strained.

"Swish"

Finally, Reimu successfully stopped Tsunade just centimeters away from the sharp stone pillar. With a sigh of relief, she looked up at the clear skid marks along the way, then looked down at her worn-out wooden clogs, her face full of heartache.

"Hey, Cow Girl, remember to buy me a new pair of clogs when you get back."

"Cough cough cough! Thank you."

After coughing a few times to clear the blood clots from her mouth and nose, Tsunade, who had quickly healed herself thanks to the Hundred Healings Technique, turned around and thanked Reimu, who had saved her, with lingering fear.
Ordinary internal and external injuries are manageable, but if the heart is pierced, even regeneration cannot save it.

"What exactly is the force supporting that guy?"

After releasing Tsunade, Reimu kicked aside her tattered wooden clogs, stood on the damp ground in white socks, and stared intently at the half-pillar who looked like a zombie.
"Isn't exorcising monsters a priestess's specialty?"

After straightening her fractured arms, Tsunade looked Reimu, who was dressed in business attire, up and down, and asked with a puzzled expression,
In her view, the 0.5 pillar that had come back to life was clearly no longer human, but rather a kind of monster. Wasn't this exactly what Reimu was good at?

"Uh, actually I haven't graduated yet, so I can only be considered a part-time shrine maiden."

Reimu's expression froze upon hearing this. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she explained with a somewhat unfocused look in her eyes,
She was a runaway priestess from the Land of Demons, who only received half of the priestess's legacy passed down through generations before fleeing.

If I had to say, Reimu Hakurei is still only a half-baked shrine maiden.

"It's the vitality of Haxi hot mom's cells."

Just as the two were staring at each other, a cold voice broke in. Upon hearing it, Tsunade immediately turned her head with a look of surprise.
"Grandpa Ban!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

On the other side, a blue light bullet shot out and struck the wriggling zombie 0.5 pillar, creating several dazzling fireworks. Uchiha Izuna's blue figure landed on the battlefield, taking over the unfinished battle.

"You survived, that's good."

After assigning the dirty and tiring work to his younger brother, Madara Uchiha, taking a moment to relax, looked at Tsunade, whose body was covered in black marks, and nodded slightly in approval.

The fact that Tsunade could withstand a clone with half the power of Hasi's mother at such a young age was truly gratifying to him.
"Cellular vitality?"

Reimu Hakurei, standing to the side, was puzzled by Madara Uchiha's answer, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Hassi Hot Mom's cells have superhuman vitality. Even though her brain has turned into mush, the nerve cells in her body are still executing the battle orders."

Madara Uchiha glanced at the unfamiliar priestess before him. Since this woman had come with his cousin-in-law, she must be one of their own. He then nodded and explained.

Reimu and Tsunade's pupils constricted slightly upon hearing this, their gazes instinctively falling on the half-pillar of the enemy, riddled with bullets by Izuna Uchiha, not far away. Their expressions were ashen.
It's unbelievable that someone who's brain dead is still fighting.
shudder.

How could a mere clone at the level of 0.5 Pillars possibly be a match for Uchiha Izuna?

After shredding the opponent's limbs to pieces, he slowly walked to the still-writhing, prostrate body of the man in half, and expressionlessly pressed the muzzle of his gun against the man's grotesque abdomen.

"End it, puppet!"

As the energy beam pierced through his abdomen, the 0.5 Pillar's body completely turned to ashes. Immediately afterwards, a chibi-style depiction of the Five-Tails, Hozo, fell from the shattered abdomen.
"Da da da~"

It rolled all the way to Uchiha Izuna's feet. After bending down to pick it up, the outer packaging, which had been storing it, began to show dense cracks.

"Crack!"

Once the outer packaging was completely shattered, Uchiha Izuna found a mediocre chakra pill in his palm. "Tsk~ The purity is so low."

He glanced at it with obvious disdain, then casually stuffed the chakra pill containing the power of the Five-Tails into his candy jar, before turning and walking towards Madara Uchiha.

"Is this solved?"

The fact that her opponent, whom she had just fought with all her might, was casually killed by a stranger in blue as if he were just a roadside animal was such a stark contrast that Tsunade couldn't help but feel somewhat dejected.

"I'm still too weak."

"That's right, you're not good enough yet."

Madara Uchiha was terrible at comforting people. Looking at the dejected Tsunade, he opened his mouth, then hesitantly uttered what he thought was an encouraging remark.

Tsunade: Waaaaah
Uchiha Izuna, who had just arrived, glanced suspiciously at Tsunade, who was drawing circles in the corner, then turned to Uchiha Madara to show him the spoils he had just acquired, and asked hesitantly,
"It's all sorted out. Shall we go provide support now?"

"Ah."

The battle with 009 was still undecided, so Madara Uchiha naturally wouldn't give up so easily.

"I want to go too!"

Tsunade, who was crouching in the corner, twitched her ears and quickly stood up, raising her hand to volunteer.

"Don't be silly, you'll die."

Madara Uchiha frowned upon hearing this. These were the last few descendants of the hot mom Hashi's family; he would feel uneasy if even one was missing.
"But."

Tsunade's face darkened. Madara Uchiha was indeed right. If they were already in grave danger even facing a mere clone, going to the center of the battlefield would be tantamount to suicide.

"Do not."

Reimu, who had been watching Tsunade for a long time, suddenly spoke up, drawing the attention of the three of them.

"Not only will she not die, she will live for a very, very long time."

"Hmph! What makes you think you can guarantee that?"

Uchiha Izuna, who had never been fond of clergy, shook his head dismissively.

When Fugaku was born, he specifically sought out a master at the Fire Temple to have his fortune told. The master actually said that if his son became the leader, he would lead the clan to its destruction.

This nonsensical prophecy infuriated Uchiha Izuna so much that he nearly demolished the temple.

From then on, he never believed in the theories of fate taught by sorcerers or monks again, and even if he heard about them, he would treat them as feudal superstition.

"With my eyes that can foresee death."

Reimu, feeling resentful at being questioned, turned her head away, her eyes, gleaming with a faint purple light, fixed on Uchiha Izuna. A few seconds later, her expression suddenly changed.
"Wait! You...you...how are you still alive?"

"what?"

"That can't be right. You should have already been killed by some fierce-looking white-haired guy who ripped out your kidneys."

Reimu, her face filled with disbelief, blinked and quickly hid behind the bewildered Tsunade, peeking out cautiously and saying...

"If you keep spouting nonsense, do you believe I'll shoot you dead?"

Uchiha Izuna raised the muzzle of his gun, threateningly saying with a displeased expression,
"No, no, could it be because the power of the priestess was not fully inherited?"

Reimu shrank back, frowned, and muttered under her breath.

"Yes! That must be it."

Recalling the scene when she saw Uchiha Gin's fate, which once again confirmed that her prophetic abilities were wrong, Reimu Hakurei nodded with a determined look.

"Put the gun down, she's my cousin's friend."

Madara Uchiha raised his hand and pressed down on the muzzle of his brother's angry gun, whispering a rebuke.
"Hmph! She's just a charlatan."

Unaware that he had narrowed his own path, Uchiha Izuna snorted coldly and lowered his gun.

Whether I'm lying or not, I'll decide for myself.

Madara Uchiha gently shook his head and turned his gaze to the rambling Reimu Hakurei.

"You say you can predict someone's death, then take a look at mine."

"Do you believe me?"

"That depends on how you put it."

Reimu scratched her head, then used her Eye of Prophecy on Madara Uchiha. A faint purple light, radiating a mysterious aura, instantly appeared in her eyes.

A bit of a secret.

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow in slight surprise; this eye technique indeed possessed an unknown power.
"you"

"How did I die?"

"First, she died peacefully in the company of her most trusted person?"

Faced with Madara Uchiha's questioning, Reimu, who had witnessed a fate that could only be described as dramatic and tumultuous, scrunched up her little face like a bun, her big eyes filled with conflict.
"Then."

"Snapped!"

Before Reimu could even say what the next episode would be, Madara Uchiha, his face expressionless, slapped his younger brother on the head and sternly urged him on.

"Hurry up and apologize to the living god."

"what?"

After forcing the reluctant Izuna to apologize to Reimu Hakurei, Madara Uchiha glanced at Gin Uchiha and his companion, who were surrounded by the clone army, then turned back and nodded to Tsunade, whose expression was serious.
"If you're prepared, then get ready to set off."

"Have a safe journey, I'll be here waiting for your triumphant return!"

Reimu Hakurei smiled and waved her hand, her small feet, clad in dirty white socks, moving swiftly and imperceptibly backward, instantly appearing on the viewing platform dozens of meters away.

Madara Uchiha and the others didn't say anything more. They exchanged glances and vanished from their spots in an instant.

With a few blinks, they bypassed the clone army that was inexplicably waiting in place, and the three figures landed precisely in the center of the encirclement.
"Am I late?"

Madara Uchiha landed in a pose reminiscent of his older cousin's classic entrance, and his self-important remarks caused Ginhaku Uchiha, who was confronting Jigen, to roll his eyes.

Two gold-ranked players with one iron-ranked player – is this a high-level match you guys can even compete in?
However, before he could utter a word of complaint, a dark shadow descended from the sky and loomed over their heads. Sensing this, Uchiha Gin and the others instinctively took a few steps back.

"Boom~"

As a giant toad landed, a noisy figure appeared above its head, performing a Kabuki-style self-introduction, causing everyone, including Jigen, to twitch at the corner of their eye.
"Yo~ Hoo~ Hoo~ Hoo~ The toad spirit of Mount Myōboku, the Immortal Taoist, pays his respects!"

"Snapped!"

Feeling weary and disillusioned, Uchiha Gin slapped his forehead.
Well, two more black irons have gotten on the train. (End of Chapter)
