Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Although it was a bit hurtful, Xia Zuo admitted that Izumi's idea of ​​breaking his leg was indeed effective.

So he nodded in agreement: "If we still can't find a solution at the last minute, then bring the sledgehammer."

"Your palm-sized hammer is too small; it can't break bones at all."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Zuo shut his mouth.

Uchiha Izumi lowered her head, peeking at Xia Zuo through the gaps in her hair, but somehow a brick had appeared in her hand.

It wasn't a small red brick, but a large, half-sized blue brick used for paving the ground.

Xia Zuo got angry and shouted, "Put it away! Put it away right now!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? How can you betray your own brother like this?"

"Besides, what's the point of breaking my legs now?"

"Once my leg heals, Aunt Miko will still need to move back in. We'll have to wait for the right time!"

"Oh." Uchiha Izumi's eyes darted around, she nodded, and put away the hammer and brick.

She smiled sweetly and said happily, "I'll listen to my brother, I'm going to the hospital now."

Xia Zuo waved his hand: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

With a life-saving solution in hand, Uchiha Izumi's mood improved. She skipped and hopped to the hospital and found a familiar medical ninja to examine her eyes.

After buying the eye drops and eye mask, Uchiha Izumi didn't go home immediately. Instead, she took a detour through the shopping street and went into a mochi shop.

The girl ordered three skewers of glutinous rice balls and a bowl of overly sweet red bean soup, and then happily enjoyed them.

A 13-year-old girl ninja who has mastered Chunin-level ninjutsu and awakened her two-tomoe Sharingan, but she is still a little girl.

No matter how great the difficulties, they couldn't stop her from eating sweets.

Moreover, there is now a solution.

The girl smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said somewhat shyly, "Hehe, I'm just a little sorry to my brother."

Uchiha Izumi hummed a song as she enjoyed the sweet glutinous rice balls.

Suddenly, her singing stopped.

The curtain was lifted, and a black-haired boy with a stoic expression walked into the glutinous rice ball shop, saying with practiced ease, "Boss, five skewers of glutinous rice balls and two bowls of red bean soup."

A boy popped out from behind the black-haired boy: "Brother, I don't want red bean soup, it's too sweet."

The boy suddenly laughed: "How about juice instead?"

"Mmm!" the boy said happily, "Thank you, brother."

"I love my older brother the most."

The shop owner became very nervous when he saw the boy and the teenager.

He not only immediately instructed the staff to prepare food, but also picked up a rag and walked out from behind the counter: "Excuse me, young master Uchiha, there are no seats available right now..."

The boy interrupted the shop owner, pointing to a table by the door: "There are empty seats there."

The shop owner looked over and said in surprise, "Huh, this customer is the last one here. Are they eating so fast?"

He immediately went over and quickly cleared away the plates, skewers, and empty bowls, then invited the two Uchiha young masters to sit down.

Sasuke Uchiha was delighted: "I'm so lucky today, someone just finished eating and left."

Uchiha Itachi smiled, but in his heart he was thinking: So she likes glutinous rice balls too. Next time I invite her to eat glutinous rice balls, she probably won't refuse me.

……

Uchiha Izumi grinned and gasped for breath.

As the girl ran, she muttered with disdain, "What bad luck! I finally had a good mood to enjoy dessert, but I ran into Uchiha Itachi, who was in a bad mood."

"Is this the ill-fated relationship my brother spoke of?"

"How annoying!"

"How did I end up with a pervert?"

"If I could beat him, I would definitely find a good burial place for him."

"Ouch—damn it!"

"The red bean soup is too hot! My tongue... my tongue is blistered, waaaah..."

"Damn it, damn it, it's all the weasel's fault! We'll kill him sooner or later!"

The girl was in a very bad mood.

But after returning home, eating taiyaki made by his mother and drinking cool mung bean porridge, Izumi's mood immediately improved.

A 13-year-old girl is like the weather in June; her mood can change in an instant, without any time needed.

But Xia Zuo is different. The transmigrator, who has been reborn as a second person, looks 14 years old, but in reality, he is already close to 50.

Therefore, he was preoccupied with many thoughts. Even after sending Uchiha Izumi away, he remained preoccupied, thinking about Uchiha Izumi and the massacre of the Uchiha clan.

The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.

Xia Zuo suddenly muttered under his breath, "It's all Itachi Uchiha's fault!"

"We'll kill that damned weasel sooner or later!"

He didn't want to go against the Uchiha clan, but he owed his neighbor a huge favor, so he had to save them.

Xia Zuo's mind gradually went blank, and he unconsciously thought about what happened when he first transmigrated here.

At that time, he was just two years old and an orphan whose parents had both died.

Despite receiving compensation for his parents' deaths in the line of duty, Xia Zuo is unable to take care of himself because he cannot afford to buy things.

Money in the hands of a two-year-old is not wealth, but a deadly source of disaster.

However, if Xia Zuo is unable to take care of himself and cannot find a guardian, he will be sent to an orphanage according to the village's regulations.

Xia Zuo, the transmigrator, knew very well what an orphanage was.

The orphanage in Konoha Village, in particular, was practically Danzo Shimura's private domain. Very few people could escape like Kabuto.

When Xia Zuo was most helpless and unable to protect himself, it was the couple next door who extended a helping hand, selflessly sheltering and raising him.

The reason why Xia Zuo had to take the risk was because of his wife, Miko and Heishiro; their daughter, Uchiha Izumi, was just a side project.

Although Izumi is indeed very cute, with big eyes, a sweet voice, long and straight silky hair, and is as clingy as a kitten, it's not enough to make Xia Zan risk his life.

Actually, he had already thought of a way, not the way of breaking his own leg, but just a way to reassure Uchiha Izumi.

Even if we manage to lure Aunt Miko and Mr. Heishiro out, it won't make a difference.

Uchiha Izumi is so cute. After moving to the Uchiha clan, she caught the eye of the despicable Uchiha Itachi, who would harass her all the time.

Xia Zuo's education was very successful. He persuaded Quan to see through Uchiha Itachi's twisted nature and to keep his distance from the young Uchiha clan leader.

But Itachi Uchiha persisted, creating a false sense of intimacy.

Xia Zuo believed that Uchiha Izumi must be on Shimura Danzo's kill list.

Even if they survived the night of the massacre, the Root ninjas would still come afterward to eliminate them completely.

So, it's all Itachi Uchiha's fault!

To save Aunt Miko and Mr. Heishiro, we must save Izumi Uchiha; to save Izumi Uchiha, we must save more members of the Uchiha clan.

Only if enough Uchiha survive can Izumi remain unnoticed.

He wouldn't hesitate to assassinate Danzo Uchiha Izumishimura, but he wouldn't attempt to kill hundreds of Uchiha clan members, something that couldn't be concealed at all.

Xia Zuo sighed and murmured, "Saving hundreds of Uchiha is the only way to stop the Uchiha massacre."

"Sigh, although several plans are feasible, I don't have the ability to save my life."

"I don't want to die yet."
