Naruto: My Sharingan is about to burst!

Upon hearing the slug's words, Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I haven't had a chance yet. You should tell him. I haven't succeeded in my cultivation either, so I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you everything."

The slug nodded and looked at Uchiha Kakuzan, saying, "Lord Uchiha Kakuzan, to cultivate the Sage Mode of our Shikkotsu Forest lineage, you must first endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear. This is because when you cultivate Sage Mode, in order to harmonize the turbulent natural energy and make it easier for you to sense this energy, we need to coat your body with a special slime from our slug clan."

This mucus is corrosive and will slowly corrode your skin and flesh. You must concentrate your mind and precisely absorb natural energy while experiencing the excruciating pain of your body being corroded, and mix it with your own chakra in a certain proportion in order to enter Sage Mode.

You'll only be considered to have successfully mastered Sage Mode when you can sense and absorb natural energy without applying the slime.

However, since the mucus of our slug family is corrosive, you need to have strong regenerative abilities.

Lady Tsunade was lacking in this aspect, which is why she didn't succeed in her cultivation.

Back then, Lord Hashirama Senju relied on his terrifying healing abilities to spend some time in the Shikkotsu Forest before he successfully trained.

Just then, Tsunade, who was standing next to him, interjected, "Don't worry about that. Qiu Shan has the same physique as my grandfather and won't be corroded by the slime of Shikkotsu Forest."

Hearing Tsunade's words, Slug felt relieved. After all, this man was Tsunade's husband, and Slug didn't want him to be disfigured or have his body corroded and die while training in Sage Mode.

The slug then mentioned some other precautions before tactfully taking its leave.

After seeing the slug off, Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't help but hug Tsunade and whisper, "Tsunade, thank you."

After Tsunade was pulled into Uchiha Kakuzan's arms, she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist.

“You are my man, and what is mine is yours. Moreover, you have the same immortal body as my grandfather, so of course you should cultivate the immortal mode of the Wet Bone Forest. In this way, you will be one step closer to your dream.”

Chapter 168 The Heartbroken Little Girl

Chapter 168 The Heartbroken Little Girl

Uchiha Kakuzan was deeply moved by Tsunade's words.

He hadn't expected that Tsunade would still remember his absurd dream.

It's important to understand that Uchiha Kakuzan had this goal because he had a system. He knew that as long as he worked hard, he would definitely achieve his goal.

Tsunade, however, is different. She is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, who was once known as the "God of Shinobi," a man who stood at the pinnacle of the entire shinobi world.

Even Hashirama Senju couldn't escape the limitations of lifespan and died young. As his granddaughter, Tsunade was arguably the person who knew Hashirama Senju best, so how could she not understand how difficult Uchiha Kagakuyama's goal was?

Tsunade was unaware that Uchiha Kakuyama possessed a system, and even if he did, Uchiha Kakuyama's goal would not be easy to achieve.

Uchiha Kakuzan also understood that his system was only helping him complete the evolution of the Sharingan, and that the transformation of life could not be accomplished by relying solely on the eyes.

Only a body that resonates with the eyes can sustain them. Even Madara Uchiha sought out Nagato, who possessed Uzumaki clan blood, when transplanting his Rinnegan.

Nagato could barely sustain the Rinnegan, and when his good friend Yahiko died in his arms, Nagato unleashed his power and summoned the Gedo Mazo, but he could no longer sustain the Rinnegan and almost drained himself dry.

Therefore, Uchiha Kakuzan's physical body can only rely on himself. When he fused with the Sage's Body before, if it weren't for Tsunade's help, even if Uchiha Kakuzan didn't die, his body would have been ruined, and he would have ended up like Nagato.

That night, since Tsunade was pregnant, Uchiha Kakuzan didn't dare to do anything strange and obediently held Tsunade and slept through the night.

However, even though Tsunade couldn't move her body, Uchiha Kakuzan still placed his hand on the turbulent area while sleeping, protecting it well throughout the night.

The next morning, Uchiha Kakuyama sneaked out of Tsunade's house, after all, Tsunade was about to take over as Hokage of Konoha.

Her arrival must have alerted all the ninja clans, big and small, in Konoha. Tsunade just returned yesterday, so it's not appropriate for her to pay a visit.

Today, Tsunade's house will be very lively, not only with the various families, but also with her old subordinates, and even those seeking medical treatment.

Therefore, to avoid trouble, Uchiha Kakuyama left Tsunade's house early.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Kakuyama habitually went to Ichiraku Ramen.

Every time Uchiha Kakuzan returned from a mission, he would come to Ichiraku Ramen for a super-sized bowl of ramen. So, after leaving Tsunade's house, Uchiha Kakuzan came here.

The profession of ninja means leaving early and returning late, so even early in the morning, Ichiraku Ramen is quite lively.

Upon entering the shop, Uchiha Kakuzan habitually called out, "Uncle Ichiraku, the usual, one deluxe extra-large tonkotsu ramen."

Uncle Ichiraku remained unchanged, still smiling and agreeing, while the little girl Ayame, who was helping him, had tears in her eyes and immediately turned her head away when she saw Uchiha Kakuyama.

Uchiha Kakuyama also noticed that Ayame's emotions were a bit off, but he was a little confused and thought that she was excited because she hadn't seen him for a long time.

After Uchiha Okayama sat there waiting for a while, the little girl Ayame carefully brought out her extra-large portion of ramen.

However, this time Uchiha Kakuyama sensed something was wrong, because Ayame had her head down when she served it.

Moreover, after placing the ramen in front of him, Ayame looked up at him and was about to turn away when Uchiha Kakuyama clearly saw Ayame's red eyes and the tears welling up in them.

Uchiha Qiushan's heart skipped a beat. He immediately grabbed Xiaochangpu, who was about to leave, pulled her in front of him, and asked softly, "Xiaochangpu, what's wrong? Why are you so sad? Can you tell your brother Qiushan?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Qiushan's words, tears welled up in Xiaoxiangpu's eyes and slid down her cheeks like pearls. With a sob in her voice, she asked, "Brother Qiushan, do you no longer want Xiaoxiangpu now that you have a sister with purple hair?"

When Xiao Changpu asked this question, her eyes were filled with grievance and sadness.

When Uchiha Kazuyama heard Ayame's words, he knew what had happened. It must have been that some gossipy person had told Ayame about his shopping trip with Uzuki Yugao in Konoha, which made her so sad.

However, one must admit one's own actions. Uchiha Kagami tenderly wiped away Ayame's tears and said gently, "Our Ayame is so cute and well-behaved, how could I bear to abandon her?"

However, Brother Qiushan also has his own difficulties. Now, as the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, he naturally bears more responsibility and must set a good example. But, I assure you, as long as Xiaoxiangmu still wants me, I absolutely, positively will.

Upon hearing Uchiha Qiushan's words, Xiaoxiang stopped crying and smiled, repeatedly assuring him, "Xiaoxiang will always want Qiushan-nii-san."

Just then, Xiaochangpu suddenly heard a burst of good-natured laughter from around her. She then remembered that she was still in her own shop. She immediately turned around and looked around. She found that everyone around her was looking at her with smiles in their eyes. She ignored Uchiha Qiushan and ran away shyly.

Uncle Ichiraku, who was watching from a distance, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since her daughter learned from a customer at the noodle shop a few days ago that Uchiha Kazuyama was shopping with a purple-haired girl, she had been sullen. It was only when Uchiha Kazuyama came to the shop today that the scene just now occurred.

Uncle Ichiraku wasn't worried about Uchiha Kakuzan abducting his daughter. He had been following Uchiha Kakuzan closely and knew that he was now the vice-head of the Uchiha clan, the most powerful clan in the village. Moreover, the Uchiha clan was about to move away soon. In addition, his daughter was still young and would soon forget such a passerby in life, so he let his daughter go as she pleased, as long as she wasn't sad anymore.

Having appeased Ayame, Uchiha Okayama turned his attention to the deluxe, extra-large portion of ramen in front of him.

Before eating, Uchiha Kakuzan habitually picked at the ramen noodles, then revealed a considerable amount of fried eggs and sausages at the bottom of the bowl.

Uchiha Qiushan shook his head and chuckled. This little girl, even when she was angry with him, still secretly added so much stuff to her bowl. How could she still be so adorable?

Chapter 169 The Cunning Elder

Chapter 169 The Cunning Elder

Since it was Xiaoxiangpu's kind gesture, Uchiha Qishan certainly wouldn't let her down. After glancing somewhat guiltily at Uncle Ichiraku, Uchiha Qishan began to enjoy the sumptuous ramen.

Fortunately, no one was around Uchiha Kagami, and no one saw the excessively rich ingredients in his bowl. Otherwise, there would have been another heartbroken person in the world.

After finishing breakfast and greeting Ayame, who was secretly watching him, Uchiha Okayama strolled towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Now that he had returned from the mission, Uchiha Kakuzan naturally had to report to the Grand Elder. After all, the Grand Elder was unaware that he had taken control of Konoha's higher-ups, so to prevent him from having any wild thoughts, Uchiha Kakuzan had to report to the Grand Elder every time he returned to the village after completing an Anbu mission.

However, the Grand Elder's reaction this time was somewhat different from before.

In the past, the Grand Elder always had a sour face when he came, and would immediately drive him away.

This time, the elder not only smiled throughout, but also kept him there for tea. Uchiha Kakuzan didn't know what the elder was up to, but he wasn't in a hurry, so he leisurely drank his tea and chatted with the elder casually.

The elder was no longer under pressure, because the Uchiha clan was about to move away, so he no longer needed to worry about these trivial matters in Konoha.

Furthermore, the Uchiha clan's security detail has been handed over to the village, so there won't be any ignorant Konoha civilians complaining about the Uchiha clan anymore.

The construction of the Uchiha clan's territory on Uzushima Island is nearing completion, and soon the Uchiha clan will be able to live their own lives. With Fugaku Uchiha currently overseeing things on Uzushima Island, the First Elder can relax so much.

After Uchiha Kakuzan had tea with the Grand Elder for a while, he was about to take his leave to visit his sister Mikoto when the Grand Elder suddenly changed the subject.

After taking a sip of tea, Elder Uchiha Ryo suddenly asked, "Qiu Shan, do you know any girls in our Uchiha clan? Don't forget what you promised me."

When Uchiha Kakuyama saw that the elder was going to repeat the same old story, he still replied perfunctorily, "Elder, as you know, I was busy cultivating back then and I wasn't really familiar with the girls in our clan. I didn't even exchange more than a few words with them, let alone make a move on them. This matter can't be rushed, let's take it slowly."

Uchiha Kakuzan couldn't very well tell the Grand Elder that he had already made a contribution to the Uchiha clan; if he dared to say that, the Grand Elder would surely chase him all over the village with a stick.

The elder was not angry when he heard Uchiha Kakuyama's perfunctory words. He said, "I know you are busy, so I will take care of this for you. I have already asked for their opinions. They said you are easy to get along with and they have all agreed to follow you for the prosperity of our Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Kakuzan was stunned by the elder's words. What do you mean by "easy to get along with"? Who has he ever gotten along with? He's never home, so who is he supposed to get along with?

The elder saw the bewildered Uchiha Kakuyama and laughed smugly. "You little brat, always making excuses and never being able to find me. Little did you know I had everything arranged long ago."

Then, before Uchiha Kakuyama could react, the elder raised his voice: "Come in."

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan also turned his gaze toward the entrance of the reception room, wanting to see who he had been with.

As the elder's voice fell, two figures dressed in kimonos, one in red and one in yellow, entered through the door.

When Uchiha Kakuyama saw the two shy, blushing faces, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"What... what... Elder... what's going on here?"

The two pretty figures were too shy to answer Uchiha Kakuyama's question. After bowing to the elder, they stood there quietly.

The elder, seeing Uchiha Kakuyama's astonishment and inability to speak coherently, laughed heartily and said to Uchiha Kakuyama with a smile:

"This time you can't say you've never met them before and don't know anything about them, can you? I've already asked these two girls for their opinions, and they're both very willing. Let's see what you say now."

Uchiha Kazuyama opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute it, because he was very familiar with both girls and had met them before. They were the two maids in Mikoto's house, Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Yo.

The elder continued, "It's not an insult to you that these two young girls are following you. Don't underestimate them because of their young age; they are both talented young women of our Uchiha clan. Uchiha Izumi has already awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan, making her a genius in our Uchiha clan. The other girl has also awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan, which is already quite remarkable for her age."

"If these two girls weren't so gentle and not suited for dangerous missions, do you think I would have been willing to introduce them to you?"

Uchiha Kakuzan was speechless: "So, you had already planned this when you arranged for them to work as maids in the clan head's household?"

The elder stroked his beard and said smugly, "Of course, I found out that you often go to Fugaku's house for meals and have taken Sasuke as your disciple. That's why I found these two suitable girls in the clan and arranged for them to go to Fugaku's house to take care of Mikoto so that they can get to know you. Otherwise, would I have arranged for two girls who have awakened the Sharingan to be maids? Wouldn't that be a waste?"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Uchiha Kakuzan stammered, "So, Mikoto-nee also knew about this? She didn't tell me."

"Of course I told Mikoto, and I also asked her to arrange for these two girls to get to know you better. After all, it's important for the girls to understand your character. If they don't agree, I can't force them to agree, can I?"

Uchiha Kakuyama couldn't help but admire the elder's cunning and shrewdness. He hadn't expected that the elder had dug his own pit so early and arranged everything so clearly without anyone noticing.

Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at the two pretty little girls staring at him, knowing he couldn't refuse this time no matter what. Otherwise, the Grand Elder would definitely teach him a lesson about love.

Uchiha Kakuyama glanced at the two young girls, then at the Grand Elder, and made a final, desperate attempt to ask them…

Chapter 170 Accepting Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Ye

Chapter 170 Accepting Uchiha Izumi and Uchiha Yoru

Uchiha Kakuzan looked at the two pretty girls dressed in kimonos and made a final confirmation.

“Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Yone, are you truly willing to follow me? Don’t be afraid, and don’t feel guilty. This is a major event that will affect your entire lives. Don’t listen to the elder’s nonsense. If you make a hasty decision now, you will have no chance to regret it later.”

The two girls exchanged a glance after hearing Uchiha Kagami's words. Finally, Uchiha Izumi, her face slightly flushed, spoke up:

"Lord Qiushan, Ye and I are doing this voluntarily. You are the pride of our Uchiha clan, and countless girls admire you. Ye and I are very fortunate to have this opportunity. Moreover, in our interactions with you, we have noticed your approachable nature. Unlike other important figures, you are very respectful to us lowly maids."

"Furthermore, the clan chief's wife has also spoken of you to us, saying that as long as we follow you, you will definitely take responsibility for us, cherish us, and love us. I believe you, and I believe what the clan chief's wife said. Therefore, Ye and I have already discussed it. As long as you don't mind our low strength and clumsiness, we entrust our future to you."

Uchiha Kakuzan never expected that his sister Mikoto would be involved in this. After hearing Uchiha Izumi's seemingly loyal words, he knew that he was determined to win over these two girls.

As expected, there was no good banquet or good tea. Uchiha Kakuzan never imagined that he would be tricked by the Grand Elder in the end.
