Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

Qianxuan looked at the boy in front of him who had suddenly entered a state of profound enlightenment, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Just now... wasn't I just making up an excuse to explain why I suddenly opened my eyes?

Why does this kid seem to be taking it seriously?

And that 45-degree angle you're looking up at the sky, you copied it from me, didn't you? Absolutely!

Just as Qianxuan was about to speak and correct the skewed worldview of this future Uchiha star,

Shisui's body swayed slightly.

The magnificent yet eerie four-cornered windmill pattern that had just awakened in his eyes slowly faded away, and his pupils returned to their original blackness.

It felt like all the strength had been drained from me, and I was about to fall straight backward.

Qianxuan reacted quickly and caught him.

It was scalding hot to the touch, and Zhishui's forehead felt like it was burning up.

The side effects of turning on the kaleidoscope are here.

The fact that he has survived this long, with both his mental and chakra depleted, coupled with the immense grief of witnessing his comrades' tragic deaths, is already a miracle.

Without further hesitation, Qianxuan hoisted Zhishui onto his shoulder as if he were carrying a sack of rice.

"Let's go find a place to eat."

……

Half an hour later, Qianxuan settled Zhishui, who was in a semi-comatose state, in a more secluded and dry cave.

He skillfully set up several simple warning traps at the cave entrance, then clapped his hands and turned his gaze to the rain-soaked forest outside the cave.

"Sigh, rainy days really do go best with barbecue."

He stretched, his joints cracking, and then vanished into the rain.

Not long after, Qianxuan returned, dragging a wild boar that had just died.

He skillfully peeled the skin, removed the internal organs, and cut the meat into pieces; every movement was filled with a kind of beauty reminiscent of a master butcher dissecting an ox.

A campfire was quickly lit inside the cave.

Qianxuan skewered pieces of wild boar meat, alternating between fat and lean, onto a fire using tree branches.

The grease sizzled as it was roasted by the flames, and the rich aroma of meat, mixed with the simple seasonings that Qianxuan had sprinkled on, instantly filled the entire cave, completely dispelling the cold and damp smell.

Shisui was awakened by hunger.

More accurately, it was the fragrance that woke me up.

He struggled to open his eyes from a chaotic nightmare, and the first thing he smelled was the domineering and unreasonable aroma of roasted meat.

He turned his head blankly.

The man who called himself Shuo Ye Qianxuan was sitting cross-legged by the fire, holding a skewer of roasted meat that was golden brown and dripping with oil in one hand, eating it with his mouth full of oil, while his other hand was methodically turning other skewers of meat on the fire.

He was even... humming a little tune.

Zhi Shui's brain has crashed.

Aren't we being hunted down?

My companions, weren't they all just dead?

Isn't this the enemy's country?

Why... why is this person so leisurely grilling meat here?!

This is unreasonable!

"woke up?"

Qianxuan noticed his gaze and casually handed him a skewer of grilled meat.

"Want a skewer? Freshly grilled, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and juicy."

Shisui looked at the grilled meat handed to him, then at Qianxuan's greasy, serious face, and felt that his worldview had been impacted even more strongly than when he activated the Kaleidoscope.

He suddenly remembered what Qianxuan had said before.

Feel the pain, embrace the pain, understand the pain...

He got it!

Shisui's gaze changed instantly.

That's it!

Senior Qianxuan wasn't simply grilling meat!

He was telling me a deeper truth in this way!

The more desperate the situation, the more pain you face, the less you should let it consume you.

Learn to find joy in adversity and savor sweetness in pain.

This is the ultimate understanding of "pain"!

This is not barbecue.

This is philosophy!

Shisui, trembling, accepted the skewer of grilled meat.

He looked at Qian Xuan, and a light rekindled in his dark eyes.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

He lowered his head and solemnly took a bite of the roasted meat.

Qianxuan paused for a moment, looking at his suddenly energetic appearance, as he was chewing meat.

What has this kid figured out this time?

Forget it, take care of him.

Qianxuan shook his head and continued to engage in the battle with the roasted meat.

Hmm, the wild boar meat is firm and chewy, but it's a bit too salty. Next time I'll prepare more cumin and chili powder.

……

In the land of water, in a hidden underground lair where the sun never rises.

The enormous body of the Outer Path Statue stood silently in the darkness, like a silent mountain.

Madara Uchiha slowly opened his only remaining, cloudy eye.

Just now, he sensed that the chakra of that Uchiha brat who had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan had miraculously stabilized, even though it was about to be extinguished.

Someone saved him.

Ban's perception, following that thread of connection, extended into the past.

Then, for the first time, his expression changed.

It was a complex expression that mixed surprise, doubt, and even... a barely perceptible shock.

He sensed the rescuer's chakra.

That chakra was enormous and very pure, which is not surprising.

Strangely, within that massive chakra, he sensed an aura that was... incredibly pure and incredibly rich, belonging to the Uchiha clan.

That wasn't some mixed aura transplanted later in life, but rather a power that originated from the deepest part of one's bloodline, a power one was born with.

They were even purer than most of the Uchiha clan members he had ever met.

How is that possible?

When did Konoha acquire another Uchiha with such pure blood?

Has the secret beneath the stone tablet at Nakagawa Shrine been discovered?

Or are they descendants of those clansmen who left back then?

Countless thoughts flashed through Madara's mind.

This man named Shuo Ye Qianxuan was like a chess piece that suddenly appeared, something that shouldn't exist on the chessboard, completely disrupting his flawless plan.

"Absolutely brilliant."

Ban's voice echoed in the empty cave, tinged with a hint of hoarseness.

A black, mud-like figure slowly emerged from the rock wall.

"Madara-sama."

"The person who saved Uchiha Shisui was Sakuya Chigen."

Madara's voice was devoid of any emotion, but Black Zetsu keenly sensed that Madara's mood was far from calm.

"I need all his information."

"From the moment he was born, every mission he carried out, every person he met, every word he uttered, every rumor about him in the village..."

"I want them all."

Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment.

He had mentioned to Madara Uchiha before that the most outstanding player in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge was Sakuya Sengen.

But he didn't expect that Madara Uchiha would only now become interested in Chigen Sakuya.

"Yes."

Black Zetsu didn't ask any further questions, respectfully responded, and then his figure disappeared back into the darkness.

The cave returned to deathly silence.

All that remained were the empty eye sockets of the Gedo Mazo and Madara Uchiha's single eye, which gleamed with a thoughtful light.
