Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

"Senior, the chakra from another dimension that we collected through the plow is something that no one in the clan knows about except for you and me... How much chakra can we obtain after such a difficult journey?"

"We're here to reap the benefits!"

"Although it will take some effort to fight, Isshiki and Kaguya have both been delayed for a thousand years. It's perfectly normal for us to spend a little more time cleaning up after them, right? No one will question that..."

Urashiki's words made Momoshiki frown.

The reason they came to the alternate dimension of the ninja world was because they discovered the Plow—a lost treasure that was not in the sight of the Otsutsuki clan's higher-ups.

When Momoshiki and Urashiki arrived in the ninja world, even though this planet had extremely abundant chakra, it was under special scrutiny from higher-ups, so all the recovered chakra certainly couldn't be embezzled and had to be handed over...

But things are different in other dimensions!

Even if spacetime energy is precious, normally it would be a huge waste to use the remaining energy in one's possession to travel to another dimension just to collect chakra...

It's like exchanging gold bars for wood.

The problem is that if the remaining spacetime energy within the plow is not used and is handed over to the Otsutsuki clan intact, it will not fall into the hands of Urashiki and Momoshiki, and no matter how precious it is, it will have nothing to do with them.

Even if a reward were given, it wouldn't be very rewarding; compared to the chakra of the entire ninja world, it would be a paltry sum.

However, if they were to travel to another dimension, Momoshiki and Urashiki could devour all the chakra they had stolen.

Instead of working for the Otsutsuki clan, he became the boss!

In any case, the higher-ups of the Otsutsuki clan were unaware of the existence of the Noble Phantasm, the Plow, in the ninja world.

Normally, once the discovery is made and the information is handed over, it would be considered a meritorious achievement. Even if the higher-ups are ruthless, they would not bother to inquire whether there is any hidden spacetime energy within it.

It's like the Book of Seals has been lost...

If a Jonin finds out and hands the information over to the village, a sane Kage would only offer a partial reward and wouldn't bother to ask if the person had been spying on the ninja...

The reason why the Otsutsuki clan has been able to maintain its strength for so long is that there are no abstract figures like Otsutsuki Danzo or Otsutsuki Koharu, and they do not mindlessly exploit their own clan members.

“Urashiki… I understand what you’re saying, but remember, it was you who suggested coming to this alternate dimension to scavenge chakra… and now, because of your suggestion, we’re about to delay the mission our clan entrusted to us…”

Momoshiki, with a stern face, slowly said:

"You sensed it too... The mortals in this ninja world are more troublesome than that Rinnegan and the fox. It will take me more chakra to defeat them."

Urashiki's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained impeccably smiling obsequiously: "Senior, I understand everything you're saying! Use the chakra here to replenish your strength for the battle first, then we'll discuss how to divide it..."

Momoshiki glanced at Urashiki and nodded with satisfaction: "Don't say I'm bullying you, Urashiki... I'm doing this for your own good. Your fighting skills aren't much better than Kaguya's, that disgrace of her family..."

"When fighting those guys, I'll definitely be the one leading the charge."

"Let's go see how those mortals caused such a commotion, making it seem like they're fighting an Otsutsuki..."

Standing before Momoshiki, Kinshiki opened a spatial portal with a very courteous attitude, welcoming this noble member of the main family to step inside.

Urashiki, standing behind Momoshiki, stared coldly at his retreating figure, but still followed him.

If Tobirama Senju hadn't disturbed the dragon veins...

Originally, Urashiki didn't want to share this precious opportunity to line his own pocket with Momoshiki!

He only ever split up with this old man from the Otsutsuki clan, and even when Momoshiki was killed, he couldn't be bothered to come to his aid. All he was thinking about was getting the Nine-Tails to feed himself in this alternate dimension...

But there's nothing we can do about it...

Because Tobirama Senju disturbed the Dragon Vein, Momoshiki and Urashiki, who had just arrived in the ninja world in the alternate dimension, both sensed the fluctuations of spacetime energy and the presence of the phoenix.

It's obviously impossible for him to take it all for himself.

Urashiki can only share this opportunity with Momoshiki, and he will also be reprimanded by this very capable senior. The original plan of splitting it in half is impossible now...

Even a 30/70 split might not satisfy the greedy Momo-style!

"Xiao Tao, you're so greedy... I'll remember this..."

Urashiki was internally ruthless, but he still smiled and followed Momoshiki and Kinshiki. The three Otsutsuki entered the spatial portal and traveled towards the Land of Water.

Once one's strength surpasses a certain threshold and cannot be easily improved, the surrounding big shots are all at roughly the same level, and there's not as much fighting and killing anymore...

Even within the Otsutsuki clan, it's all about human relationships and social customs!

This time…

Under Tobirama Senju's Great Dragon Vein Summoning Technique, the number of Otsutsuki watching this battle suddenly increased by three!

Hamura, Hagoromo, Kaguya, Isshiki... these four Otsutsuki are all in a state of incompleteness in this timeline.

In addition, there are the Kim style, the Pu style, the Momo style...

On this battlefield in the Land of Water, a total of seven Otsutsuki will be watching, enough for two mahjong tables!

In the leaf.

Sasuke walked alone through the village, looking up at the massive Tobirama, his heart filled with doubt.

What is this thing? I've never seen anything like it before!

Even compared to the timeline he inhabited, Tobirama seemed like a creation of advanced technology…

Could it be that he came from the future, rather than the past?

But as Sasuke walked, he saw a shop he recognized—Ichiraku Ramen.

The middle-aged man, who is diligently cooking, still looks like a young or middle-aged man...

This means that what's coming is the past!

"No... Although it's the past, this past seems completely different from the timeline I live in..."

Sasuke stared at a shop next to Ichiraku Ramen—the Aozumi family's Three-Colored Dumpling Shop.

This shop is incredibly popular, but Sasuke has absolutely no memory of this snack shop.

"Three-colored meatballs, my brother's favorite food..."

Sasuke sighed and stepped into Inada Kojiro's shop, where he immediately saw his older brother in his childhood form!

At this moment, Uchiha Itachi had a table full of three-colored dumplings in front of him. His still-youthful face showed no smile, but his hands moved extremely quickly, stuffing skewers into his mouth and chewing incessantly, looking like he was binging...

Sasuke was confused.

In his memory, his older brother was an extremely self-disciplined ninja from a young age, very strict with himself, and could be described as a perfect ninja in terms of training attitude.

This is why Fugaku always disliked Sasuke during his childhood...

Because there's a crazy, competitive Uchiha Itachi as a comparison.

Putting aside his character, in terms of effort, Itachi Uchiha trained to the point of triggering Bloodstained Disease...

But in front of Sasuke now.

Where is the hardworking and self-disciplined Uchiha Itachi?

From Itachi's numb and pained eyes, Sasuke could only see a child trying to alleviate his sorrow through food...

What exactly happened in this time and space?

The changes are truly enormous!

And at this moment…

Uchiha Sasuke felt himself being bumped, and when he turned around, he saw his father again!

Fugaku Uchiha stormed towards Itachi Uchiha, snatching the three-colored dumplings from his hand in exasperation. He wanted to unleash his fury, but with so many people around, he could only suppress his anger and reprimand him in a low voice:

"Itachi, what are you doing! Why aren't you training! Have you forgotten? You carry hope and the future on your shoulders!"

"Although that future was confirmed by my eye technique, you yourself still need to work hard to cooperate!"

Uchiha Itachi looked up in despair, not lowering his voice like Uchiha Fugaku:

"It's not because I believe in your eye technique or think the future is predetermined that I can relax; it's because I never believed in it from the beginning! You've gone mad, so mad that you think I'll surpass Lord Qing Shui..."

"I beg you, please stop arguing with Lord Aoshui... Even though there are all sorts of rumors circulating in the village, whether it's the Second Hokage or Lord Aoshui, who are you capable of contending with?"

Fugaku Uchiha's face instantly turned red, and he raised his hand and slapped Itachi Uchiha hard across the face: "You unambitious bastard, come with me!"

The slap was so loud that it instantly silenced the bustling shop.

Kojiro Inada frowned. Although he was just a dropout ninja who hadn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy, he shouted with a booming voice, "Fugaku Uchiha! This is the Aomizu Clan's Three-Colored Dumpling Shop!"

"What are you doing here, hitting someone? I don't welcome guests like you, please get out!"

Inada Kojiro walked up to Uchiha Fugaku and met his gaze without fear:

"Don't take Itachi with you. I heard you talking about Lord Aokiji. I will report everything you said to the Hokage Building..."

"Although he is your son, he is also the future of the village. Your beating and insulting behavior is absolutely against the Will of Fire!"

Fugaku Uchiha stared coldly at Kojiro Inada.

Are we still in Qingshui?

These ignorant villagers have no idea that Aozumi was already murdered by Tobirama Senju!

That evil Second Hokage had already resurrected a large group of Senju clan ninjas using Edo Tensei, and, deceived by lies, led the entire village's ninjas to reinforce Uchiha Aosui's seal...

"Let's leave first... Tobirama Senju is nominally on good terms with Aokiji Uchiha. If I cause a scene at this dumpling shop, it will only give him an excuse to punish me."

Fugaku Uchiha thought to himself, and said in a deep voice to Itachi Uchiha, "Itachi, pull yourself together! Don't say anything you shouldn't say. I'll be waiting for you to come home!"

I heard him waiting for me to come home...

Itachi Uchiha trembled and lowered his head, not daring to meet Fugaku Uchiha's gaze.

"Get out of here! As the head of the Konoha Police Department, are you going to disrupt normal order?" Many ninjas, unable to stand by and watch, began to speak up in support.

"I'm not talking about you, Fugaku Uchiha... Your son will be driven crazy by you sooner or later. He's talented, but how can you let him think about surpassing Lord Aozumi? You've really gone mad from wanting your son to become a dragon!"

Fugaku Uchiha glanced around, and amidst the barrage of criticism, he waved his sleeve and strode coldly out the door.

He's crazy?

No, it's just that all the Konoha ninjas except him have gone mad!

They were all deceived by Tobirama Senju and lived in a deception. Only he, with his Mangekyou Sharingan and special eye techniques, saw a hopeful future!

As Itachi watched Fugaku Uchiha's retreating figure, tears welled in his eyes as he stuffed another string of dumplings into his mouth and began to chew them heartily.

It seemed that only eating something could ease the immense pressure in his heart and prevent it from exploding...
