The two didn't linger anywhere else and went straight to the most secure little room in Uchiha Shisui's house.
After Uchiha Shisui closed the door, he asked Uchiha Kyuuyama with a serious expression, "Kyuuyama, what is it?"
Uchiha Kakuyama still had a relaxed smile on his face. Seeing Uchiha Shisui's serious expression, he comforted him, "Shisui, don't be nervous, it's just a small matter."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder.
After hearing what Uchiha Kakuyama said, Uchiha Shisui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since it's a small matter, you could have just said it earlier. Why did you have to come all the way to my house?"
Uchiha Kakuyama shook his head: "Although it's a small matter, it could have a bad influence if others see it, so it's better to do it at your house."
Uchiha Shisui was very direct: "What is it?"
Without wasting any words, Uchiha Kakuzan immediately activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and looked at Uchiha Shisui. Then, Uchiha Kakuzan's Sharingan slightly rotated, and he unleashed a barely perceptible dojutsu at Uchiha Shisui.
Uchiha Shisui's eyes also transformed into three-tomoe Sharingan, which rotated a few times before slowly closing.
When Uchiha Shisui involuntarily opened and closed his Sharingan, he focused his attention on it. When the Sharingan closed, he also involuntarily closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.
After waiting for a while, Uchiha Shisui slowly opened his eyes and looked at Uchiha Kakuyama with a complicated expression: "I sensed it this time. You left another 'Izanagi' in my eyes using the transcription seal. What are the activation conditions this time?"

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Naruto Uzumaki and Karin Uzumaki
Upon hearing Uchiha Shisui's words, Uchiha Kakuzan laughed and said, "Haha, you've improved. This time you were even able to detect the jutsu I placed in your eyes. Don't worry, it's still the same as before, just a safety net. The trigger condition is that after you are killed, you are resurrected in perfect physical condition five seconds later."
Uchiha Shisui didn't laugh along with Uchiha Kakuzan. His face remained tense as he looked into Kakuzan's eyes and asked, "What was your price? What was the price you paid? Izanagi became a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan because the price was too high. No matter if your eyes have three tomoe or the Mangekyou Sharingan, once you use Izanagi, the eye that uses this forbidden technique will be permanently blinded."
“I don’t believe you used this forbidden technique without any consequences. So, Qiushan, tell me the price you paid for using Izanagi, or I will always have this thorn in my side.”
Uchiha Kakuzan fell silent upon hearing Shisui's words. In fact, he later realized that every time he used Izanagi, his Yin-attribute chakra would inevitably decrease. However, because of the system, the cost was negligible. The Yin-attribute chakra consumed would be replenished in a few days of training, leaving him almost unaffected.
However, this concerned the system, so how could he let Uchiha Shisui know? Faced with Uchiha Shisui's question, Uchiha Kakuzan simply chuckled and said, "It's alright, don't worry. It has very little impact on me. Compared to that, your safety is more important to me."
After asking the question, Uchiha Shisui had been observing Uchiha Kakuzan's expression. After hearing his answer, he paused for a moment, then nodded knowingly.
Seeing that Uchiha Shisui stopped asking questions, Uchiha Kakuzan breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if remembering something amusing, he activated his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and said to Shisui with great interest, "Shisui, Shisui, look. Look, what's different about my Mangekyou Sharingan compared to before?" He was like a child showing off his new toy.
Next, Uchiha Shisui was inevitably shocked by Uchiha Kakuyama. After all, he also had the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he had only heard of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan but had never seen it before.
Next, Uchiha Kakuzan shared some of his newly discovered knowledge and methods for advancing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with Shisui. During this time, to help Shisui understand more thoroughly, he even pulled Shisui into a genjutsu space and demonstrated the entire process to him.
Finally, Uchiha Kakuyama patted Uchiha Shisui on the shoulder: "Shisui, I've already taken the lead over you, so you have to keep up the good work. I believe you'll do better than me. After all, your talent is better than mine."
Although Uchiha Kakuzan encouraged Uchiha Shisui in this way, he also knew that Uchiha Shisui faced far more difficulties than him. After all, he had the help of a system that could copy eye techniques. When copying eye techniques, the essence of their Sharingan was also copied at the same time. Uchiha Kakuzan had combined the eye techniques and potential essence of many Mangekyou Sharingan to evolve his own Mangekyou Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in such a short time.
However, neither Uchiha Shisui nor Uchiha Itachi had such convenient conditions. They could only think of other ways to have any hope of accomplishing the same feat as Uchiha Kagami.
Actually, Uchiha Kakuyama has other methods. Although he can't help Shisui and Itachi upgrade their Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, he can significantly increase the usage time of the Mangekyou Sharingan. However, Uchiha Kakuyama can't do that yet. He can tell Shisui and the others when he can.
After Uchiha Kakuzan told Uchiha Shisui everything, he didn't keep him from resting any longer and took his leave. He told Uchiha Shisui to rest well and that he would arrange for him and Uchiha Itachi to leave the village in three days to gather intelligence in Amegakure.
······
Just as Uchiha Kakuzan and Uchiha Shisui were saying goodbye and leaving, in a corner of Konoha Village, something was happening due to Uchiha Kakuzan's influence.
That day, Naruto unexpectedly woke up late. He had no choice but to drink some expired milk the night before, which caused him to have diarrhea for most of the night. His stomach finally stopped acting up as dawn broke, and Naruto finally drifted off to sleep in bed.
As a result, while he was half asleep, he sensed some commotion around his house. Normally, this would be impossible, because he lived on the top floor of the house, and although there were spare rooms around him, they were all empty. After all, the common people of Konoha Village disliked and feared him, so how could they possibly be his neighbors?
So, although there are empty rooms on the top floor of the house, no one has lived there since Naruto had his memories. Therefore, the area around Naruto's house is usually quiet, and it is impossible for anyone to come and make a fuss.
Hearing the commotion outside the room, Naruto Uzumaki immediately snapped to attention, holding his breath and listening intently.
After listening for a while, Naruto finally confirmed that a new resident had indeed moved in next to his room. Upon confirming this, Naruto's heart pounded, and his face flushed red.
He also hoped that he would have neighbors next to his house. Although they wouldn't be there to keep him company, they would at least make him feel less lonely. In the dead of night, when there was no sound from the side, it felt as if the whole world had abandoned him. This loneliness suffocated him.
Naruto waited a while longer, allowing his wildly beating heart to calm down. He straightened his somewhat worn clothes, wanting to change, but the clothes he was wearing were the only ones he could wear.
Naruto took a deep breath, slowly opened the door to his room, and peeked out, looking towards the doorway beside him. He was afraid it would be another person who was hostile to him. He didn't ask for much; he just hoped that his new neighbor would treat him the same way as Uncle Ichiraku, without being hostile or afraid of him.
Naruto slowly peeked out and saw a beautiful, gentle-looking older woman standing there, thanking the workers who had helped her move furniture. This woman had beautiful red hair, making her appear full of sunshine and vitality.
Just as Naruto was staring blankly, the older sister seemed to sense the movement, turned her head slightly, and saw the silly little guy peeking out. She gave him a sunny and kind smile.
Chapter 100 Karin and Naruto
Chapter 100 Karin and Naruto
Naruto was stunned when he saw Karin's smile. This was only the second time in his life he had felt kindness from someone; the first time was from the Third Hokage.
Moreover, both his Uzumaki clan bloodline and his intuition as a Jinchūriki told Naruto that the beautiful older sister in front of him had a very pure kindness towards him, completely different from what he felt from the Third Hokage. Although the Third Hokage also had kindness towards him, there was also wariness and some complicated feelings. But from this older sister, he felt a very pure and warm kindness, which immediately captivated Naruto.
After seeing the furniture movers off, Kaoru Uzumaki saw Naruto Uzumaki standing helplessly at her door.
Kaoru Uzumaki smiled, walked up to Naruto Uzumaki, half-squatted down, and looked at the child in front of her with some heartache.
Her worn clothes, unwashed face, dry and frizzy hair, shorter stature than her peers, and slightly pale complexion all told her that she was a poor little girl with no one to take care of her.
In fact, if Naruto Uzumaki hadn't possessed the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, he might not have even had the chance to grow up.
Kaoru Uzumaki stroked the boy's messy hair and said with a look of tenderness, "Hello, Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to meet you. I am Kaoru Uzumaki. Please take care of me from now on."
Naruto had already blushed with embarrassment when Karin stroked his hair, but after hearing what Karin said, his eyes widened suddenly as he looked at the beautiful older sister in front of him and stammered, "..."
"Uzumaki, Uzumaki Xiangling, big sister, you also have the surname Uzumaki, are you also from the Uzumaki clan?"
Actually, Naruto Uzumaki didn't understand what the Uzumaki clan and its bloodline were. He had only seen other ninja clans in the village and knew that if it was a surname, then they were from the same clan, which is why he asked that question.
Looking at Naruto's longing eyes, Kaoru Uzumaki gently nodded: "Yes, I am also from the Uzumaki clan. Moreover, I am your mother's best friend who grew up with her. So, if you count, I am your aunt."
Naruto was completely stunned by the news. He stared blankly at the beautiful older sister in front of him, as if in a daze, an invisible light was slowly emanating from her, not only shining into his heart but also illuminating his entire world.
Naruto Uzumaki was almost speechless, stammering as he repeated Karin Uzumaki's words: "Auntie, Auntie..."
Looking at the now-foolish Naruto, Kaoru Uzumaki's eyes filled with even more tenderness. She gently replied, "Yes, I'm your mother Kushina Uzumaki's best friend from childhood, and we're also related. However, we were separated after the war. I just arrived in Konoha. I didn't expect Kushina to have a child, and her son is already so grown up. So, according to seniority and kinship, you should call me Auntie."
Looking at the older woman in front of him, Naruto felt like he was dreaming. Finally, he asked to confirm, "Are you really my aunt?"
Looking at Naruto's dirty little face and longing eyes, Kaoru Uzumaki said calmly but firmly, "I am your aunt. I have already confirmed with the Third Hokage that you are Naruto Uzumaki, the son left behind by Kushina Uzumaki. So, there is no need to doubt anymore. It can be confirmed with the Third Hokage."
Naruto Uzumaki looked at the beautiful older sister in front of him—oh, no, the beautiful aunt—who was looking at him warmly. For some reason, it felt as if endless grievances were welling up from the bottom of his heart.
Naruto Uzumaki knew that he should behave well so that his new aunt would make a good impression on him. He also knew that he shouldn't cry, otherwise, what if his new aunt disliked him?
But now, Naruto Uzumaki just couldn't control himself. After confirming that the warm older sister in front of him was his family, he couldn't control himself anymore.
Naruto Uzumaki threw himself into Karin Uzumaki's arms and burst into tears. He couldn't stop crying and just kept crying, as if he had a thousand grievances in his heart that he couldn't express.
Despite Naruto's sudden change, Kaoru Uzumaki showed no resistance. She simply placed her hand on Naruto's back and gently patted him as he cried in her arms.
Naruto's crying immediately drew Karin out of her room. Karin was more lively than she was in Kusagakure at this moment. When she peeked out of her room and saw a little boy crying in his mother's arms, she was about to speak when Karin gestured to stop her.
Karin Uzumaki opened her mouth, then closed it again, looking at the little boy curiously, but said nothing more.
When Naruto's wailing turned into sobbing, Karin patted Naruto's back, gesturing for him to get up, and said, "Naruto, get up first. I'll introduce you to a little sister. You two can get to know each other, and from now on, you'll be siblings."
While trying to persuade Naruto, Karin Uzumaki beckoned to her daughter, Karin Uzumaki, who had been looking in their direction, to come over.
As Naruto awkwardly got up from Aunt Karin's arms, Karin Uzumaki had already run up to him with her short legs and stood in front of her mother and Naruto.
Naruto blushed immediately when he saw such a cute little girl run up to him so close. Karin, on the other hand, looked at the little boy who had suddenly appeared with some curiosity.
With a smile, Uzumaki Karin said to Naruto, "Naruto, this is my daughter. She's a little younger than you, and she'll be your little sister from now on. You can't let anyone bully her."
Naruto Uzumaki never expected that on this day, he would not only gain a concubine, but also a younger sister, and this younger sister was so cute. He nodded repeatedly when he heard what Uzumaki Karin was telling him.
Then, Karin said to Uzumaki, "Karin, he's your Naruto brother now. From now on, let him play with you and protect you, okay?"
Karin looked at the little boy in front of her, whose face was flushed and who seemed at a loss, and nodded. She then said to Naruto, "Hello, Naruto-nii-san, my name is Uzumaki Karin. Please take care of me from now on."
Naruto nodded repeatedly upon hearing Karin's words, speechless.
Seeing that the two little ones were getting along quite well, Xiangling stood up, took one of their hands in each hand, and walked towards home, saying as she went, "Alright, it's time to eat now. Let's go home and cook and eat."
Chapter 101 Recalling Tsunade
Chapter 101 Recalling Tsunade
Just as Naruto Uzumaki and Karin Uzumaki met, Uchiha Kakuyama also bid farewell to Uchiha Shisui.
There are some things that can't be delayed any longer. We must call Tsunade back, whether for Mikoto's sake or for Itachi's. We must bring back Tsunade, the top medical expert in the ninja world.
Even if she has hemophobia, it's okay. The Uchiha clan has many genjutsu masters. A simple psychological suggestion can almost eliminate her hemophobia. As for why Tsunade hasn't sought a cure all these years, it's probably because she has some regrets or something that disappointed her, leading her to choose to escape. That's why her hemophobia has persisted.
Furthermore, there has been no news yet about the second stage of the Raikage's secret technique, "Lightning Release Armor," from Kumogakure. Uchiha Kakuzan is unwilling to risk the lives of Konoha's spies because of him. Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan plans to wait a few days until Uzumaki Karin has recovered, then replicate the near-perfect Uzumaki clan bloodline from the three surviving members of the Uzumaki clan. After that, he will go to Kumogakure to meet the Fourth Raikage.
The second stage of the 'Lightning Release Armor' was hard to obtain, so he went to the Fourth Raikage and directly copied his perfected 'Lightning Release Armor'. At that time, he already had a flawed version of the Sage Body and the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, so he should be able to skip the second stage and practice the perfected 'Lightning Release Armor'.
Of course, he would inevitably suffer some physical pain at that time, but just in case, Uchiha Kakuyama still felt that he should bring Tsunade back. When he was training in Lightning Release Armor, he could have Tsunade watch over him or help him, so that he could train faster and suffer less physical pain.
Therefore, after leaving Shisui's house, Uchiha Kakuzan neither went home to rest nor went back to his spatial dimension to relax. Instead, he went straight to the Hokage Building to find the Third Hokage.
Since Uchiha Kakuzan is now a member of the Anbu, he was not stopped by the guards and was let in directly.
Fortunately, it was almost lunchtime, so there wasn't much of a person in the Third Hokage's office. Uchiha Kakuzan went straight to the Hokage's office and found the Third Hokage resting and smoking idly.
When the Third Hokage saw Uchiha Kakuzan come to see him, he first took a deep drag on his cigarette, then exhaled it heavily, the smoke billowing far away. He truly lived up to his reputation as a seasoned smoker.
As the light from his pipe flickered, the Third Hokage looked at Uchiha Kakuyama and said, "Kakuyama-kun, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be resting at home right now?"
Uchiha Kakuzan replied, "I have some important matters that I need the Third Hokage's help with." After speaking, Uchiha Kakuzan looked at the Third Hokage meaningfully and then emphasized, "These are very important matters."
Upon hearing Uchiha Kakuzan's words and seeing his expression, the Third Hokage also became serious. He slowly sat up straight, gestured for the people hiding in the shadows to leave, and then asked Uchiha Kakuzan:
"What is it that requires everyone in the shadows to leave?"
Upon hearing the Third Hokage's words, Uchiha Kakuyama respectfully replied, "I am requesting that the Third Hokage summon Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, back to the village. Itachi Uchiha, a member of my Uchiha clan, is in poor health and we suspect he has a bloodline disease. Since it is in its early stages, it should be relatively easy to treat. Therefore, we would like to ask Tsunade to return and see if she has any solutions."
The Third Hokage took a drag of his cigarette and asked, "Uchiha Itachi? I know that kid. He's not only a genius who awakened the Sharingan at a young age, but he also has the Will of Fire in his heart. What happened to him?"
Uchiha Kakuzan sighed, "It's because he was too talented that he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan too early. He's still too young, and his body isn't fully developed yet. His body can't support the demands of the Mangekyou Sharingan, which is why he's having some problems. That's why we asked Lady Tsunade to come back and see if there's any way to treat him. Even if it's incurable, it would be good if it could alleviate the symptoms." (Uchiha Itachi is fine now; Uchiha Kakuzan only asked Tsunade to check on him as a precaution.)
The Third Hokage was shocked to find that another Mangekyou Sharingan had awakened in the Uchiha clan. He was startled by Uchiha Kakuzan's Susanoo, and the reason he was currently being controlled by Kakuzan was also thanks to Kakuzan's Mangekyou Sharingan. That's why the Third Hokage reacted so strongly to the Mangekyou Sharingan.
The thought that Itachi Uchiha had also awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan reminded him of Shisui Uchiha. If Shisui hadn't been killed by Danzo, he would be serving him now, and he himself would very likely not be controlled by Uchiha Kakuyama.
Thinking of this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but sigh. "Alas, Shimura Danzo has ruined me."
When the Third Hokage thought about how terrifying Uchiha Kagakuyama's Mangekyou Sharingan was, he understood. It made sense; such a powerful bloodline limit did require a certain level of endurance to use safely. For example, Uchiha Itachi was just a teenager who hadn't fully developed, and overuse would indeed put a huge burden on his body.
However, the Third Hokage still said with some difficulty, "You may not know, but it's not that I don't want to call Tsunade back to treat Itachi Uchiha, but Tsunade currently suffers from hemophobia, and she simply cannot treat you. That's why I've left her to her own devices these past few years; after all, Tsunade's value is diminished if she can't treat patients."
Actually, I also wanted to call her back so she could inherit the Hokage position. This old man can't serve for many more years. Orochimaru has defected, and Jiraiya has an unreliable personality. Only Tsunade is suitable to inherit the Hokage position. After all, she is the granddaughter of the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju. It is only right to hand over the Hokage position to her.
However, because her younger brother, Senju Nawaki, the heir of the Senju clan, and her lover, Kato Dan, both died in the war, she is now very resistant to the Hokage position and Konoha Village. I have recalled her several times, but she either refuses or avoids me. In addition, given her special status, I can't force her, so this matter has been dragging on.
