Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

The muscular man in green slid in front of Qing Shui!

Might Guy was slightly slower, but his speed was still astonishing, at least surpassing that of a typical Special Jonin…

This is without using ninjutsu.

"War is indeed the most effective catalyst for unleashing human potential and forging strength..."

Qingshui looked at Asuma and Shisui in his hands; the two kids' strength was improving very quickly.

He fought off dozens of Cloud Village ninja, including Jonin, but suffered no serious injuries and remained lively and energetic...

[Shisui's Unwillingness]: When Uchiha Shisui's strength grows, you will receive a corresponding increase in the strength of the target you are laning against!

[Matt and Son's Youthful Support]: As Matt and Son's physique improves, you will receive a corresponding boost; your physical recovery, strength, and potential will all increase significantly!

And Asuma…

The ninjas who received these loans from Qingshui are all contributing their increased strength back to Qingshui as they grow stronger…

As Qing Shui felt the increase in his physical strength, endurance, and pupil power, a gentle smile appeared on his face. He felt a sense of accomplishment, like an old father watching his children grow up.

While it may seem like something is better than nothing at the moment, the key is that Shisui and Might Guy are both the type to unleash their full potential.

Shisui possesses Uchiha blood and can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan when emotionally stimulated; Might and his son possess the Eight Gates technique, which can instantly enhance their physical strength. These would be the best food for Shisui.

The gifts of fate always come with a price tag attached the moment they are received…

Having gained something, one must naturally give something in return. However, since he is working for himself, Qing Shui will still strive to give them a better outcome than before.

Qingshui looked at everyone with a smile, his eyes full of concern. He then tapped Asuma's head reproachfully, put him and Shisui down, and said slowly:

"Asuma, you need to break your smoking habit..."

Asuma immediately broke out in a sweat. Looking at Qingshui's rather serious expression, his initial surprise at seeing Qingshui was mixed with his inner turmoil, making his expression extremely complex. He nodded repeatedly.

"I...I'll quit smoking right now!"

“You need to know, Asuma…”

Qingshui held up two fingers:

"Neither the First Hokage nor the Second Hokage had this habit. You should know best how different the Third Hokage, the only one who smoked, was from the former two."

"If you want to compete with Shisui, although you are both very talented, you have one more weakness..."

Asma's gaze turned serious.

Indeed!

Although his talent is no less than Shisui's, he has an extra weakness for no reason, which is unacceptable in the competition for the position of Hokage's assistant.

"Aozumi is absolutely right... My rival is Uchiha Shisui, Aozumi's younger brother!"

Asuma cursed inwardly, "It's all Shimura Danzo's fault!"

"If Danzo Shimura hadn't been so weak, and if the old man hadn't had any sense of danger, how would he have dared to smoke?"

"If the old man hadn't smoked, I wouldn't have picked up this bad habit!"

Back in Sunagakure, Shimura Danzo, who was working as a suicide squad member and was suffering a miserable life, was inexplicably targeted by the Hokage's son, who pinned a huge black mark on him.

Even Qing Shui hadn't expected that the Second Hokage of Konoha, the "Pot King," would have such a strong attraction...

"Shisui, why did you think of asking Asuma for a cigarette?"

Qing Shui sighed, a hint of heartache in his eyes:

“I think I understand what you’re thinking, Shisui. It seems you’re under a lot of pressure because of me.”

"Don't chase after my departing figure. Living a good life is enough, my brother..."

Qingshui gently stroked Shisui's head, and Shisui, listening to Qingshui's gentle words, had tears welling up in his eyes.

Here it is again…

It's always like this! My brother can always see right through him!

Shisui stubbornly raised his head and looked at Qingshui, as if he wanted to refute something, but he just stared straight at his brother.

How could I not take my brother as my role model?

Even someone of average appearance like Asuma dared to dream of helping his brother solve his problems and becoming the Hokage's assistant. As the former number one genius of the Uchiha clan and the younger brother of Aokiji, he would never watch someone else take that position!

In Zhi Shui's eyes, only he knew how much Qing Shui had sacrificed for him...

Originally, Aoshui was an unknown, low-achieving student who hid his strength in the ninja academy and was unwilling to compete for fame. But everything changed on the day Shisui and Aoshui discussed taking over the family's banner!

Qingshui took on this pressure for him and did it to a level that no one could surpass.

Although Shisui was embarrassed to say it, deep down he understood that Qingshui, who had changed the course of his life and taken on so many responsibilities and pressures, was still doing it all for him.

The better Qingshui did for him, the more Zhishui felt he could never repay such a debt of gratitude in his lifetime…

Therefore, we can only do our best to repay the debt, so how can we give up?

"Brother, don't worry about me. I was just a little upset because of the war. I was so happy to see you..." Shisui took a deep breath, revealed a sunny smile, and indicated to Qingshui that she was fine.

Qingshui nodded thoughtfully, patted Zhishui on the shoulder, and said with emotion, "You've grown up now, Zhishui."

Qingshui was pleased to see the resentment and excitement in Zhishui's eyes.

That's just how the Uchiha clan is; everyone is stubborn and unwilling to owe favors, and this is especially true for those who are stronger.

The more Qingshui tried to relax Zhishui, the more pressure his younger brother would put on himself. He was a stubborn person by nature, and no amount of persuasion could change his mind.

"Uncle Dai, Kai, how are you two?"

Qingshui turned to Matt and his son and said.

Both of these taijutsu ninjas have made significant progress in their strength through the trials of war. Compared to the eye power that Shisui gave him, the increase in physical strength that Might and his son provided was far more noticeable…

"We are fine, Lord Qingshui!"

Matt Damon pounded his chest and said loudly with great energy, "Please rest assured, as the guard of the Qing Shui family, I will always keep my duty in mind!"

Matt Kai first greeted Qing Shui warmly, then gave his father a strange look.

What are the duties of a hospital guard?

They're on the battlefield, why are they still talking about guards?

"The Qingshui Clan, the Uchiha Clan, and Konoha are fortunate to have a ninja like you, Uncle Dai."

Qingshui patted Matt Dai's shoulder encouragingly and said softly, "Take care of yourself too, Uncle Dai."

Matt Day nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Qingshui gestured for everyone to sit down and gather around him. He then smiled and waved to Nohara Rin, who had just run over, saying, "Rin, long time no see..."

Nohara Rin's face was flushed. After learning that Aoshui had arrived, she immediately ran over.

However, compared to the Might and Might father and son, who were skilled in physical combat, her speed was not that fast.

"Long time no see, Qingshui-kun..."

Nohara Rin looked at Aokiji, whose handsome features seemed to carry a hint of vicissitude, and her heart skipped a beat:

"This makes Qing Shui Jun look even more handsome, exuding a mature masculine charm..."

Nohara Rin couldn't help but wonder what Aoshui had gone through during the time she hadn't seen him on the battlefield. Was he alright?

"I came to the Cloud Hidden Battlefield mainly to see you all."

Qing Shui glanced at everyone. With these people present, it felt like he was back home, and even on the battlefield, the atmosphere became somewhat warm.

"The war will now enter a stalemate. I need to deal with the matter of the prophesied child that Jiraiya mentioned. I may be quite busy for a while. Please take good care of yourselves."

Even if the intensity of the war decreases, we must be wary of enemy sneak attacks, and we must not become arrogant because of our increased strength, losing our reverence for the strong...

Asuma and Shisui exchanged a subtle glance, both of them sensing the confusion in each other's eyes.

“Brother, why bother with the so-called Child of Prophecy? It’s just a bunch of toads’ prophecy…” Shisui frowned and said slowly.

Asuma nodded and said, "Yes, Qingshui. Jiraiya, the child of prophecy, has been searching for so long without any news. There's no need to pay attention to him."

“That might have been true before…” Qing Shui smiled and shook his head:

"This time, the Great Toad Immortal specifically named me as the Child of Prophecy. The so-called Child of Prophecy is the one who can bring peace to the world."

"And I happen to be able to see the contents behind the Uchiha stone tablet, which records the peace methods left behind by the Sage of Six Paths..."

"These factors combined make it worth investigating. I also have some problems within myself that require the natural energy utilization method of the Three Sacred Lands to resolve. Investigating the matter of the Prophet's Child is just something I did casually."

Is Qing Shui the child of prophecy?

Asuma pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "That really makes sense! Since Aokiji is the Child of Prophecy, then Jiraiya couldn't possibly have found him after running away from the village for so long!"

"The fact that my brother brought peace to the ninja world does not need to be acknowledged by Mount Myōboku."

Zhi Shui said coldly, then a deep look of worry appeared in her eyes: "Brother, is your body alright? Why do you need to use natural energy to regulate it!"

At this moment, Shisui was thinking about many things, and what frightened him the most was the genius blood disease that had appeared in the Uchiha clan.

In the clan's records, many exceptionally talented Uchiha possessed astonishing eye power at a young age, but died young due to illness.

Is it...

After all, Qing Shui's talent is so outstanding!

Asuma's eyes flashed; as the son of the Hokage, he was thinking of even more things…

Combining his father's attitude towards Qingshui with the rumors circulating in the village, Asuma's heart skipped a beat as he thought of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, whose reputation was complicated!

Is it...

Some of the rumors circulating in the village are true!

"Don't worry about me, Shisui, I'm not in any serious health problems..."

Qing Shui waved his hand dismissively:

"I will not blindly follow so-called prophecies. I will go to Shikkotsu Forest and Ryuchi Cave to verify them, and combine them with the information on the Uchiha Stone Tablet before finally going to Mount Myōboku."

"However, if what Mount Myōboku said is true, then perhaps this time, I can find a way to bring lasting peace to the ninja world."

What is the way to achieve lasting peace?

Shisui and Asuma pondered the word; although it sounded somewhat hollow, it perfectly captured their fantasy of Qingshui…
