It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

His playboy image was only directed at the innocent young girls of Konoha. Sasuke felt a sense of sympathy for the remaining Uchiha clan members, making it impossible for him to bring himself to harm them, especially since the person in front of him looked so much like his older sister.

"Ah, I'm just a Uchiha clansman who has been living away from home. My name is Uchiha Gento, and I have no relation to the Uchiha Shiyuki you mentioned. But please take care of me anyway." Shiyuki gave Sasuke a bright smile and then extended her small hand.

Seeing Zhixue's adorable smile, Erzhuzi blushed, then scratched his head and took Zhixue's soft little hand in his own.

"Since you are a clansman who has been separated from the clan, cough cough, although the Uchiha clan has disappeared from Konoha, they are still my clansmen. I will take you to the clan's territory to find a place to stay for the time being."

Sasuke lowered his hand and said to Zhixue.

Although many houses in the Uchiha clan's territory have been reclaimed by Konoha due to the clan's demise, finding one or two intact houses for Hollow to live in shouldn't be a problem, provided that he's not afraid of ghosts, since many clan members have died here.

Walking along the path to the clan's residence, looking at Sasuke's nonchalant attitude, Zhixue asked, "Since the Uchiha clan has already perished, why do you have such an optimistic attitude?"

"Haha, you mean this? Emotions are inanimate, but people are alive, aren't they? If I live in the shadows for the rest of my life because of hatred, wouldn't that be making things difficult for myself?"

Hearing Sasuke's answer, Zhixue glanced at him with some surprise.

"But deep down, do you really not harbor any hatred?"

Erzhuzi heard Zhixue's question and slowly stopped by the roadside. The unwillingness and resentment in his eyes made Zhixue sigh.

Sasuke in the original world chose to endure pain and hatred, while Sasuke in the Tsukuyomi world chose to escape and numb himself with the image of a playboy? What a pitiful person.

“You are a member of our clan who has been separated from us, so you may not understand how terrifying that bloody night was. As for me… I’m just a kid with no talent…” Erzhuzi gripped the rose in his hand tightly, and a few drops of blood dripped from the thorns. But the clear pain was enough to pull him out of that painful memory.

"Alright, let's not talk about that... You're an Uchiha, so I need to find you a place to stay." Erzhuzi let out a long breath, then smiled again and led Zhixue deeper inside.

He was quite happy that some of his clansmen were returning from the outside world; at least he wasn't so lonely in Konoha anymore…

After finding a place to stay near the residential area of ​​the Uchiha clan's territory, Zhixue, under Erzhuzi's puzzled gaze, took out various daily necessities and furniture from her trench coat.

"Do you carry a sealing scroll with you?" Erzhuzi curiously looked into Zhixue's clothes, but soon Zhixue's little pink fist hit his head.

Ten minutes later, Erzhuzi, who was sitting on the sofa, was also grimacing and covering his head, which had swollen with a big bump.

This little guy may look tiny, but he's incredibly strong. No wonder he's a genius who's unlocked the three-tomoe skill.

Zhi Xue pushed the freshly brewed milk tea on the table in front of Er Zhu Zi, and asked him while resting her chin on her hand, "Your name is Uchiha Sasuke, right? Are you and I the only two Uchiha clan members left in Konoha now?"

"Ah, you mean the Uchiha clan? If it's now, then it's just you and me. But there's another clansman on a mission outside, named Uchiha Shiyuki. She's also a survivor of the disaster back then."

"Oh? Your name is Uchiha Shiyuki? Could you tell me more about yourself?"

Looking at Xu Tong's innocent and adorable eyes, Er Zhuzi nodded, then recalled Zhi Xue's appearance and became somewhat troubled.

If it were 6 or 7 years ago, he could say something about Sister Zhixue, but in recent years her actions have become increasingly unpredictable. Although she still presents herself as a gentle, girl-next-door type, Sasuke, who has the most contact with her, can vaguely sense that there seems to be something terrifying hidden in her heart.

Chapter 268, Black Zetsu's Plot

Main world...

It was still night, and a bright moon hung high in the sky. Obito was still sitting on the stone pillar, observing the situation within the Limited Tsukuyomi through the crystal ball.

"So you're here. Oh, is this the blueprint for the Infinite Tsukuyomi you created using the Ten-Tails? But it seems a bit too late, hehehe."

Obito glanced at Zetsu, who was walking out from behind him, and nodded.

"Getting past Nagato won't be easy, since he's using the power of the Ten-Tails. But what have you been up to lately? It seems like I haven't seen you in a while."

Seemingly sensing the question in Obito's words, Black Zetsu grinned.

"We were just monitoring the movements of the Allied Shinobi Forces. But thanks to that brat Shiyuki's antics, the commotion that Konoha had managed to create has been quelled again."

Obito naturally knew what Black Zetsu was talking about, but such a divisive tactic was irrelevant. With the appearance of the Ten-Tails, the overall situation was already settled. What he should be considering now was how to secretly snatch the Rinnegan from Nagato's hands.

After all, Nagato's plan and the Eye of the Moon plan do not align. Strictly speaking, Nagato and Black Zetsu do not have absolute trust in each other, and they should be more cautious, especially at such a critical juncture.

"We should do our best to shake the will of the Allied Shinobi Forces. Even if we fail, we have other weapons to fall back on..." Obito focused his gaze on the crystal ball in his hand.

Seeing Obito's expression, Black Zetsu's pupils widened in shock when he saw Shiki buying snacks on the street in the crystal ball.

"You actually put her into the Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

"It was just an experiment to test the stability of Infinite Tsukuyomi. However, it seems to be working very well so far. It's just that the genjutsu world of Infinite Tsukuyomi seems to be uncontrollable. It's like a mirror, using the power of the Ten-Tails to transport the entire entity to another reality that is completely copied. The air, gravity, and even the resources and landscape of the ninja world are almost identical to reality."

"That's the power of Tsukuyomi, hehehe. But it's still a bit inferior to Infinite Tsukuyomi. So, seeing this result, are you getting more and more excited about the future plans?"

Seeing Black Zetsu mocking him from the side, Obito also stood up from the pillar.

"It's not bad so far, but the final result will be determined by time."

Black Zetsu frowned as he watched Obito walk away from him.

"So you still don't trust me after all? But if that brat Uchiha Shiyuki could stay trapped in the Limited Tsukuyomi world forever, it would save us a lot of trouble."

Seeing that the other half of Black Zetsu didn't seem too happy, White Zetsu scratched his head and said, "Since this thing was created by the Ten-Tails, isn't the control in the Ten-Tails' hands? Wouldn't it be better if we just cut off the connection between the crystal ball and the real world from the source?"

Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment upon hearing White Zetsu's suggestion, then became overjoyed.

"You're really brilliant! You actually came up with such a good idea. After being fused with you for so many years, I never imagined your brain had developed so much."

White Zetsu: ...

I suspect you are scolding me, but I have no proof.

Watching Obito depart in the distance, Black Zetsu revealed a sinister smile. Nagato probably didn't know that Shiki was trapped in the Limited Tsukuyomi. Nagato had never liked the Limited Tsukuyomi, so if Black Zetsu just whispered a few words in his ear, trapping Uchiha Shiki in the Tsukuyomi world would be a piece of cake.

"Obito, don't blame me for being ruthless. The main problem is that your heart, which was already as cold as ice, has thawed a bit after meeting this brat. This is quite a disadvantage for our plan, hehehe..." Black Zetsu chuckled sinisterly as he submerged himself underground, his laughter gradually fading away as he disappeared.

……

Tsukuyomi World…

The next day, Zhixue was woken up by Sasuke as soon as she got up, and they went to the Hokage Building together to file a report.

These are the only three Uchiha clans in Konoha right now. Even if they don't live here often, they should still inform the village.

After registering her identity at the government affairs hall, Zhixue strolled through the streets of Konoha with Sasuke and bought a few strings of tricolor dumplings. However, as they continued to explore, Zhixue suddenly noticed that Sasuke had stopped.

"What's wrong?" Zhixue tilted her head and asked, looking at Sasuke who had suddenly stopped.

"Ah, well, it doesn't seem quite right to go out and play now. How about we go for a stroll in Konoha another day?" Erzhuzi glanced at the few familiar girls on the street, scratched his head, and said with a somewhat unfocused look in his eyes.

"Um... okay." Zhi Xue understood what Er Zhu Zi was doing, and then strolled alone on the streets of Konoha. Her cute appearance attracted a lot of attention.

"Huh? Was it just my imagination?" As if sensing a gaze, Zhi Xue looked up at the sky, but the feeling came and went quickly, disappearing in just a few seconds.

Zhi Xue came to a roadside stall and bought a few skewers of takoyaki. Afterwards, she strolled around and enjoyed the scenery of Konoha during the day.

"As expected of the ultimate genjutsu in Naruto, I couldn't detect a single flaw. It's just like being in the real world." After exclaiming a few times, Zhi Xue threw the bamboo skewer in her hand into the trash can.

Now, she just has to wait for the plot to begin. She remembers that later on, Ma will throw a giant spiral wheel over Konoha to destroy it and then take the Book of Crimson Moon. Before that, it wouldn't be bad to gather some information in Konoha.

Hokage Building…

Tsunade nodded as she looked at Shiki, who had come to hand over the mission.

"How's the mission going? Have we found any clues about the masked man? If he has really infiltrated the Land of Fire, he could be a significant threat."

"Lord Hokage, I have already searched the northern part of the Land of Fire, but thankfully I have not found any trace of the masked man."

"Is that so? Then thank you for your trouble."

"It's not hard work. Contributing to Konoha is simply the duty of the Anbu."

Looking at Shiyuki, who seemed to be filled with the Will of Fire, Tsunade nodded with satisfaction.

It's truly remarkable that after experiencing the night of the clan's annihilation, Zhixue was able to grow into a Jonin as excellent as Kakashi.

After handing over the mission to Tsunade, Shiyuki took a short break. In her single room at the Anbu base, Shiyuki took off the fox mask from her face and looked at the beautiful girl with delicate and smooth skin in the mirror. Her gloomy eyes seemed to reflect the image of Shisui.

"If only I had been the one to die back then..."

Chapter 269, News of Jiraiya

"How is it? Have you put away the kunai I asked you to prepare?"

"Don't worry, sir. I've already buried the thirty-three talismans you arranged around the edge of Konoha. I've done so well, I don't know when..."

In the alleys of Konoha, Mizuki looked at the black-masked woman in front of him, his burning gaze also fixed on the scroll tied to her waist.

"Do you want me to help you break the seal? Of course, but not now..."

"Hmm? My lord, you promised you couldn't go against... Ughhhhh!"

In the darkness, Mizuki's figure had completely disappeared, while a box in the black-masked man's hand emitted a blood-red light.

"You're the third party in this plan, so for the sake of its safety, you'll have to stay inside for a while..."

The masked man placed the sealed red box into his ninja tool pouch, and then his figure scattered and disappeared into the air like a flock of crows.

Uchiha clan territory…

Sasuke rubbed his eyes as he watched the figure in the distance grow larger.

"Is that my older sister back? Something doesn't feel right."

On the winding path, the light rain pattered on the ground. A beautiful girl holding a red oil-paper umbrella appeared in the middle of the road. Her emotionless eyes and the pure white dress she wore, along with a bright red rose on her head, gave Sasuke a visual shock and a chilling premonition.

A girl with a faint fragrance walked up to Sasuke's side, and seeing his awkward expression, she laughed and said, "Oh dear, oh dear, it's only been a few days, and Sasuke already doesn't recognize his dear older sister?"

"No, no, no, I... I'm just a little curious why you're dressed like this, sister." Sasuke scratched his head, suppressing his strange feeling, and said somewhat awkwardly.

"Ah, I just took a vacation and wanted to wear some pretty clothes and relax. Did anything strange happen in the village while I was away?" The girl tilted the umbrella to wrap Sasuke up as well.

"Ah, things have been peaceful in the village lately, nothing too serious. But just the day before yesterday, a clanswoman who had been living away from home came looking for us. She's just as beautiful as you, sister."

"Your clan members who have been separated from you...? Can I take you to see them?" Zhi Xue asked Sasuke with a bright smile.

The Uchiha clan has always lived in groups here, with extremely strong group honor, even forbidding the outflow of their bloodline. How could there possibly be clan members scattered outside? Moreover, their appearance at this time is probably not a good thing...

……

On a balcony in the Uchiha clan compound, Zhi Xue put down the comic book in her hand and looked out the window. She saw a girl in a white dress walking towards her with Sasuke, holding an umbrella.

"Is this me in the Tsukuyomi world?" Zhi Xue placed the milk tea on the table, then got up and went to the first floor.

Sasuke stepped forward and knocked on the door, and Zhixue opened it wide. The moment the two looked at each other, a strange feeling arose in both of their hearts at the same time.

Seeing Zhi Xue's youthful face, which was 9.7 points similar to her own, Zhi Xue, who was wearing a white dress, also had a slightly surprised expression.

How can they look so alike...

"Is this the sister Zhixue that Sasuke mentioned? She really does look like us, no wonder I mistook her for someone else." Zhixue tilted her head and then welcomed the two of them in.
