Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

To him, Qing Shui's words sounded like an alien language, and he couldn't resonate with them at all.

Could it be that this Uchiha is a saint?

To still want to help the enemy change their life in such a situation is hardly the mindset of a ninja!

Kaguya Kimijiro's mind began to stir, and he no longer felt so eager to die.

In his view, although Qing Shui was very strong, he did not have the heart of a warrior!

Therefore, if he cultivates diligently, he might actually succeed in taking revenge in the future. This has nothing to do with strength, but rather with the difference in mindset...

Kaguya Kimijiro gave an awkward laugh: "Is that so?"

“No, that’s not how it is…” Qing Shui shook his head and denied it.

For someone as extreme in personality as Kaguya Kimijiro, a few words are not enough to stir his emotions.

The simple beating only caused his emotions to fluctuate slightly; the reward he received did not include the Corpse Bone Meridian, but only a slight increase in his physical constitution.

This is a person with an extremely empty heart, so emotionally deprived that he can only find a sense of existence by killing and being killed in battle.

To elicit a change in his emotions, Qing Shui had to resort to some rather harsh methods.

Qing Shui's large hand slowly reached down to his spine, emanating a shimmering green medical chakra that stimulated his nerves, amplifying his pain sensations dozens of times over...

Then, they crushed the first bone in his spine.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Kaguya Kimijiro screamed in agony; the pain, which exceeded his limits, instantly shattered his will.

Qing Shui smiled gently: "Look at my smile and imitate it..."

"You bastard, you bastard!" Kaguya Kimijiro cursed wildly in his pain.

But before he could say a few words, his second bone was broken, and the pain, magnified dozens of times, instantly engulfed him.

"The human body has a total of 206 bones, and you have 204 chances left..."

Qingshui smiled and pressed the third button: "Try to laugh properly, I believe you can do it."

The second, the fourth, the fifth, and so on up to the eighty-seventh…

Kaguya Kimijiro went from cursing Aoshui to begging for mercy, and even when he was rambling incoherently, Aoshui did not stop.

He was just repeating one sentence: "No, that's not how you laugh."

On the ninety-ninth stick, Aoshui stopped and patted the nearly paralyzed Kaguya Kimijiro.

A warm current of medical chakra enveloped his body, suppressing the pain.

Kaguya Kimijiro rolled her eyes comfortably, and this cycle of tormenting hell finally came to an end!

He was like a suffocating person who had been given oxygen; regardless of whether he was determined to die, the moment he could breathe again, he would gasp for air…

At this moment, a peace beyond his comprehension enveloped Kaguya Kimijiro's heart.

As long as there is no pain, life is meaningful. His mind was completely washed away by the intense pain.

He finally understood Qingshui's words: to live, to live quietly, is good enough.

"Alright, have you rested enough?"

Upon hearing Aozumi's voice, Kaguya Kimijiro instantly snapped out of his daze: "No, no!"

Qing Shui smiled slightly: "Then, smile."

Kaguya Kimijiro froze. He wanted to yell at Aoshui again, but his body betrayed him and silenced him.

"Recall the peace you just experienced..."

Qingshui said softly, "It'll be over as long as you laugh."

Kaguya Kimijiro was instantly gripped by immense panic. As he met the magatama in Aozumi's eyes, his monotonous and repetitive life flashed through his mind.

But upon careful recollection, what he cherished most was the moment when Qing Shui gave him a chance to catch his breath.

At that moment, Kaguya Kimijiro's mind was completely free of any thoughts, violence, or extreme emotions; he simply remained still.

Guided by his pupil power, Kaguya Kimijiro was immersed in the peaceful mood of that moment. The corners of his mouth slowly curved up, and he smiled gently, like an old man sitting on a deck chair in the sun, enjoying the breeze.

Qing Shui conjured a water mirror in his hand and placed it in front of him: "Very good, that's the kind of smile I'm looking for..."

Kaguya Kimijiro broke free from the illusion and stared at his reflection in the mirror, momentarily stunned.

Such peace and contentment—is this really me?

[From your lane opponent, Kaguya Kimijiro, you have obtained the Bloodline Limit: Shikotsumyaku!]

"The five hidden villages will sign a peace treaty, and the future ninja world will be peaceful..."

Qing Shui said softly:

"Feel the pain, experience the pain, accept the pain, know the pain. Those who do not understand pain will not understand true peace. I hope you can return with a peaceful mind and convey this peace to your people and companions."

"I hope I won't see you on the battlefield in the future."

Kaguya Kimijiro shuddered, feeling an excruciating pain all over his body at the thought of fighting Aoshui again.

Not only is he in pain, but Kaguya Kimijiro has also lost interest in fighting. He just wants to find a quiet village and bask in the sun peacefully in a place where no one will bother him.

Life is not just about fighting and killing.

Living quietly is good enough...

Kisame, Zabuza, and Mei Terumi stared blankly at Aoshui. Were they really going to let them go?

So what's the point of disciplining Kaguya Kimijiro like this...?

Could it be that you just want him to smile gently?

"I wish you success in your exams. As the examiner, I still have other things to do..."

Aoshui put down Kaguya Kimijiro and slowly left.

Of the four-person squad from Kirigakure, few are still able to operate.

At this moment, Mei Terumi was bound by the cursed seal, her hands behind her head as she squatted on the ground; Zabuza lay helplessly on the ground; and Kaguya Kimijiro, completely exhausted, peacefully turned her head to look at the dappled sunlight on the leaves on the ground, enjoying the joy of being alive.

Only Kisame.

The man, with his extraordinary physique and holding a ninja sword, managed to stand up with difficulty.

"Kisame, quickly try to help me break this curse seal!" Mei Terumi shouted immediately.

But Kisame ignored him, picked up his ninja sword, examined Zabuza's neck, and muttered to himself:

"I'm sorry, Zabuza. Kirigakure ANBU who fail in their mission do not deserve to live."

Mei Terumi was startled and shouted, "Kisame, what are you saying!"

Kisame shook his head and said in a muffled voice:

"Not only Zabuza, but also Kaguya Kimijiro and you are my assassination targets. This is the Mizukage's order."

"We live in such a strange village..."

"The enemy will brutally beat the Hidden Mist ninja, but it is to make him feel pain and understand the value of peace. It's a pity that Kaguya Kimijiro will not be able to convey that guy's ideas to the Kaguya clan. He will die here."

Kisame slowly walked towards Zabuza.

Zabuza's eyes were filled with anger, but also with a strange sense of relief.

Even before he graduated from the Ninja Academy, when he killed all his comrades to graduate, Zabuza had already imagined this day would come…

The village of Kirigakure has become so twisted that it drives people mad.

If the Uchiha clan were here, it's hard to say how many more Mangekyou Sharingan there would be, but getting dozens more pairs of three-tomoe Sharingan would be a piece of cake!

Kaguya Kimijiro let out a long breath.

He had finally escaped from his suffering and was just beginning to experience the peace and tranquility of life.

If he was intent on dying just now, Kaguya Kimijiro now simply wants to quietly contemplate life and reflect on the past…

He used to feel empty and lonely whenever he wasn't fighting.

After being reprimanded by Aoshui, Kaguya Kimijiro just wanted to calm down and reflect for a while.

Unfortunately, Kisame didn't want to give him that chance.

Or rather, Kirigakure doesn't want to.

Kaguya Kimijiro didn't turn her head to look at Kisame beside her. She greedily gazed at the sunlight filtering through the leaves and said softly:

"Kisame, can you do the same smile I gave just now, the same smile as that Uchiha?"

Kisame was taken aback and subconsciously tried it, only to find that the corners of his mouth were unusually stiff.

He wasn't a battle maniac of the Kaguya clan; he wasn't that interested in killing, let alone killing his own comrades.

Mei Terumi struggled with all her might to break free of the cursed seal, but the restraints on Aoshui were not something she could easily break free of.

Just as Kisame was about to make his move, he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder.

Qingshui smiled and hugged him:

"I forgot something, and I didn't expect to see such an interesting scene when I came back!"

"I, a ninja from another village, had no intention of killing you, so why have we ended up fighting each other? This is not right..."

Kisame's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to attack, but his reason restrained him in the next moment.

It's useless!

This is a monster that even the Corpse Bone Pulse cannot pierce, and it has a pair of terrifying eyes. It is also proficient in Bloodline Limit Escape Techniques...

[From your lane opponent Kisame: You have gained chakra drain ability!]

"What is this guy doing back here?!"

Kisame's mind raced with thoughts: "Is it the twisted pleasure of giving someone hope only to have it snatched away by my own hands? Torturing the enemy..."

"That's right, many ninjas in Kirigakure have this kind of perverse hobby, and this guy is probably one of them!"

To his surprise, Qing Shui sighed slowly.

"Something similar happened in our village before, you've all heard of Sakumo Hatake, right?"
