Naruto: The Uchiha's Scientific Madman

Chapter 14 The Test of Still Water

Uchiha Ao was very surprised.

He hadn't expected his mother to agree to let him leave the Uchiha clan so easily.

I originally thought it would take some effort.

I didn't expect it to be this simple.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but just as the words were about to come out, his younger brother, Uchiha Ran, walked in from outside.

"Brother, Shisui is here."

Blue and Shisui are the same age. They were in the same class at the Ninja Academy, but Shisui has now successfully graduated and is considered a contemporary of Blue.

Ran was just a student at a ninja academy.

There is a huge gap between the two in terms of their social status.

"Go ahead! I'll make dinner for you. Let Shisui stay home for dinner."

The mother smiled and pushed the two of them out.

When Qing entered the living room, she saw Shisui wearing white socks, sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat in front of her, with a cup of tea on the small table in front of her.

The younger sister was curiously observing this genius who was famous throughout the Uchiha clan.

"Brother Shisui, are you very amazing? Are you even more amazing than my brother?"

The younger sister, Uchiha Yukari, asked curiously, resting her chin on her hand and staring at Shisui without any attempt to hide her gaze.

Her delicate and lovely face made Zhishui unable to help but smile.

"Of course, the senior's talent is stronger. He is a genius valued by Lord Orochimaru."

Shisui said without hesitation.

A humble attitude.

Unlike other members of their tribe, they did not become arrogant because of their talents.

As they were talking, he noticed Qing's arrival and immediately stood up from the tatami mat, bowing respectfully and saying, "Senior Qing, I apologize for this unannounced visit!"

"Did you need something?"

Ao picked up his younger sister from the tatami mat and asked.

He gently stroked his sister's soft, long hair and neatly tidied up the two tufts of hair that stuck in her hair.

Zhi Shui nodded.

A hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Qing handed her younger sister to her younger brother Lan, then picked up the gray coat hanging on the hanger and put it on, saying to Zhishui, "Want to go for a walk?"

Shisui nodded heavily and followed.

The two went out the door.

Walking on the empty streets, with hardly anyone around, we encountered a few members of our tribe, and we nodded slightly to each other as a greeting.

The relationship is distant.

Although Shisui has some reputation nowadays, it is not prominent.

Compared to those genius ninjas who graduate early during the war, nine years old is nothing.

However, his talents in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu were all recorded in the family's assessment.

Their performance was outstanding.

It has already caught the attention of the family's higher-ups.

His every move is being watched.

Qing quickly noticed that two tails had appeared behind him.

Their eyes remained fixed on Shisui.

Family guards?

These are turbulent times.

After Shimura Danzo failed to become Hokage, he would definitely vent his resentment on the Uchiha clan.

The family has also taken measures to deal with this.

First, they narrowed their scope of activities to avoid unnecessary actions that would be targeted by the root causes.

Then, the family's elite forces were secretly assigned to protect important family members.

With limited manpower, those included on the protection list are all exceptionally talented or from powerful families.

Ordinary clan members like Uchiha Ao have no way of having contact with them.

After practicing spiritual transformation techniques,

His soul strength has been greatly enhanced, and in terms of mental perception, he is now comparable to an elite Chunin.

After noticing these tails,

Qing didn't show anything unusual and continued chatting with Shisui.

At this time, Zhishui told him many things about cultivation, as well as his views on the current state of the family.

He was very worried about his family's situation.

They wanted to ease the tension between their family and the village.

"Senior Qing, we're going to be neighbors soon."

"After I finish my mission, may I practice with you?"

After setting the stage and reminiscing, Zhi Shui finally couldn't help but reveal his true purpose.

He sensed a mysterious aura emanating from Qing.

It makes people curious and want to explore.

In his view, Qing was not as simple as he appeared.

"You're moving to our neighborhood?"

Qing asked in surprise, "Their house is located at the very end of the Uchiha Street, which is very remote. Not far away is the rather dangerous Death Forest."

The people living nearby are mostly marginalized members of the family.

Shisui, being of such a high status, wouldn't live here.

"You didn't know? The family is moving soon, and your new home will be in the same location as mine..."

"Shisui said in surprise."

"move place……"

Qing's pupils contracted slightly, showing a hint of surprise.

However, he quickly remembered that after the Uchiha clan was purged by the Konoha village's higher-ups, they were forced to move away from the village's core area and relocated to the vicinity of the Kaga Shrine. They were then placed under house arrest by the Konoha village and placed under 24-hour surveillance.

This measure further exacerbated the already tense relationship between the village and the family.

This foreshadowed the Uchiha clan's future rebellion.

It could even be said that this distrust gradually drove the Uchiha clan down the path of rebellion.

Nobody wants to live under someone else's 24/7 surveillance, with no privacy and no trust.

Anyone would go crazy if they were in that situation.

Not to mention the Uchiha clan, whose members are sensitive and have fragile nerves.

"Has the village's punishment been handed down?"

Qing looked at Zhishui, stopped in her tracks, and unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes.

No wonder my mother said the family has been in turmoil lately.

In this situation, the doves, hawks, and centrists within the family are all unable to remain calm.

The teacher chose to leave at this time...

Did they discover something in advance?

Ao couldn't help but think that Orochimaru might have been planning his escape route during the time he was away.

Orochimaru's cunning nature is similar to that of a snake.

Knowing full well that he had fallen out with Danzo, he would not have left no way out.

"Senior, why did the Hokage pin the blame for the Nine-Tails incident on us Uchiha?"

A question from Shizuku pulled Qing back from her reverie.

He couldn't help but look at the puzzled Zhi Shui, and only when he came to his senses did he realize that the two of them had reached the edge of the village, and the entrance to the Death Forest was just a hundred meters ahead.

All around was silent.

Only two ninjas' tails were hanging from the eaves several hundred meters away; they thought they were well hidden.

Judging from Shisui's expression, he probably also discovered the other party's whereabouts.

Judging solely from his chakra reserves, Shisui, who had just graduated, already possessed chakra at the Chunin level. Coupled with his talent in genjutsu and taijutsu, he had probably already stepped into the threshold of becoming a Chunin.

Qing did not answer directly, but instead spread his spiritual power, enveloping the still water within it.

"Illusion!?"

Shisui's expression remained unchanged, but he spoke with surprise.

The chakra within his body subtly shifted.

They immediately broke free from the illusion's control.

The scene before me cleared up, revealing the landscape of the Death Forest.

Then Qing's voice rang in my ears.

"Because what controls the Nine-Tails is the Sharingan of our Uchiha clan, and that night the bright imprint was left in the Nine-Tails' pupils, which was noticed by most of the people in the village."

"We have no way to deny this."

The voice manifested by Qing's spirit entered Zhishui's mind.

"The death of the Fourth Hokage, the sacrifice of the villagers, and the replacement of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki... all required someone to step forward and take responsibility, and the Fourth Hokage, who was most suitable to take the blame, died on the battlefield."

"The Uchiha clan... in their current situation, there's no possibility of them ever being redeemed..."

"We can only gradually move towards becoming the opposite side of Konoha Village."

"I have absolutely no interest in any of this."

"I don't want to waste my energy on a pointless struggle."

Ao's words revealed a sense of powerlessness regarding the fate of the Uchiha clan.

He possesses at most the strength of a Chunin.

There's nothing we can do about the Uchiha's current situation.

Shisui turned pale; from Qing's words, he sensed a tremendous crisis.

The family's future is uncertain.

Qing's detailed analysis left no room for doubt.

"Impossible... As long as we actively cooperate with the village's investigation, find the real culprit, obey the Hokage's orders, and complete various missions, we will definitely be able to regain their trust..."

Shisui subconsciously said, trying to persuade Qing not to be so pessimistic and to have hope for the family.

But his words had barely left his mouth.

Uchiha Ao had already spoken first:

"The only way out for the Uchiha clan is to leave..."

"Leave the family, leave the village, and find a completely new path for the family."

His dark eyes were filled with an inexplicable confidence.

This surprised Shisui for a moment.
