I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 192 Our child's surname is Senju

"How about we give our child the surname Senju?"

puff!

The drink Tsunade had just taken a sip of alcohol sprayed directly onto Uchiha Yoru's face, causing her to cough repeatedly from the choking.

Wine streamed down his face, some even landing on the corners of his mouth. Uchiha Yoru shook his head helplessly and wiped it away. "I was just telling the truth."

"You!" Tsunade was speechless after being rebuked by this sentence.

Looking into Uchiha Yoru's sincere eyes, was he serious? Tsunade's gaze flickered for a moment.

Looking at Tsunade, Uchiha Yoru shrugged casually and said without any attempt to hide it, "The pride of the Uchiha clan would never allow me to marry into their family. And you, too, have the pride of the Senju clan."

"If you're willing, I'll still be an Uchiha, and you'll still be a Senju. I'll absolutely not let you bear the surname 'Uchiha.' That way, we'll both still be individuals, and the reputation of Senju and Uchiha won't be tarnished. All our future children will take your surname."

Goodness, looking at Uchiha Yoru's classic quote, still so casual and open-minded, it seems he's already considered his escape route.

After listening with wide eyes, Tsunade sneered coldly, "So, if you each take care of your own affairs, you can continue to play around outside, like with Mei Terumi in Kirigakure, or your little lover in the village, or Orochimaru's disciple Anko."

Tsunade coldly revealed all of his information, but Uchiha Yoru showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he casually shrugged and nodded.

"Your little sweetheart, Uzuki Yugao, came from the Anbu, and my first love and classmate, Yuhi Kurenai, came from the Third Hokage's faction. As for Anko, well..."

Uchiha Yoru pointed to his head, a look of pity on his face, and sighed, "You should know about her situation. My appearance back then became her pillar of support, and now she's become somewhat extreme and morbid."

He casually and easily admitted everything, like a scumbag, but Tsunade's pupils trembled when she saw it.

As one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade, although she had been away from the village for many years, would not have easily become the Fifth Hokage if she had no informants or connections within the village.

Uchiha Yoru has always prioritized honesty, and lies will eventually be exposed, especially when there is a conflict between men and women involving both interests and feelings.

Once a lie is exposed, the two parties, who are usually emotionally connected, will often turn against each other when the lie is exposed.

Conversely, once the lies of a partnership are exposed, the worst outcome for both sides is to remain indifferent to each other, treating each other like strangers. In fact, under new interests, the two sides may even join forces again.

Therefore, self-interest is the purest thing, while emotions are the hardest to control.

The combination of mutual benefit and emotional attachment is the most solid foundation.

Therefore, Uchiha Yoru never planned to hide anything from the beginning and openly admitted everything.

"You." Looking at Uchiha Yoru's relaxed smile, Tsunade felt a mix of emotions. What kind of environment could have forged such an outstanding man?

Not only did he never harbor resentment, but he also vowed to initiate change and alter everything.

His lover was a spy, his first girlfriend was also a spy, and the only thing he did was suffer mental trauma.

How old is he? According to her intelligence, this means that a fifteen-year-old boy is surrounded by spies, and he seems to know all about it.

Moreover, when these two people's names were mentioned, Uchiha Yoru's eyes only showed a clear smile, without a trace of resentment or dissatisfaction, which was what shocked Tsunade.

"You! Don't you hate it at all?"

Putting herself in that position, facing lies and deception, could she be as cheerful and bright as the other person? Thinking of this, Tsunade fell silent. The more she wanted to understand the other person, the more mysterious she felt.

At the same time, there is a maternal glow of heartache for this boy, a fifteen-year-old boy who is already being guarded against by others, and even has spies sent by his own village.

"hatred?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru smiled and shook his head, saying, "At first, they were a little hesitant after finding out, but later they weren't. They seem to be hesitating, but at least they haven't chosen to betray us yet."

Her cheerful smile concealed a sadness that was hard for ordinary people to understand. Tsunade, seeing this, could only shake her head with a wry smile. "The old folks in the village should really be buried soon."

Tsunade felt a surge of disgust whenever she thought of the old folks in the village. She had seen clearly the enormous profits left behind after the Senju clan's calamity. Weren't these people rising to power by exploiting the legacy left by the Senju clan?

It was after that incident that those who remained abandoned the Senju surname. Nawaki, who was tasked with reviving the Senju clan, sacrificed himself early on, completely severing the rise of the Senju.

This is why the name Senju is almost no longer used in the ninja world today.

Looking at Tsunade, Uchiha Yoru also revealed a trace of melancholy, and sighed softly, "Thanks to your Senju clan, the higher-ups of Konoha have inherited the will of the Second Hokage, but it has become distorted, and they have been targeting the Uchiha clan all along. The losses in the Third Shinobi World War were also considerable."

"Especially after the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha clan has been unable to wash away the stain on their bodies. Although their clan businesses are still doing well, their clan strength is no longer what it used to be, and they have now been marginalized, as they are doing now."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru shrugged and gave a casual, wry smile, saying, "The Uchiha clan is skilled in Fire Release, yet many of their elites have been sent to defend the area around the Mist Ninja. I think there are reasons for this that I don't need to elaborate on."

"Hey, you brat from the Uchiha clan, don't talk to me like that. I'm not a Senju anymore. Besides, it was those old guys who did it, it has nothing to do with me."

It was obvious that Tsunade didn't want to get herself into this trouble, but Uchiha Yoru chuckled upon hearing this.

Tsunade casually pushed the wine glass towards her, but Uchiha Yoru gently shook his head and put the lid back on the wine jug in his hand. "Drinking is bad for your health. I think you've neglected your basic ninja skills in the last few years."

After so many years, suddenly being disciplined by someone made Tsunade glare, but her heart was warm. Since losing her family, she had no one to care about anymore. Her status was even higher than that of an ordinary person. While gaining supreme glory, she would naturally lose some things that ordinary people have.

"You nagging brat, you have no right to tell me what to do."

Faced with Tsunade's stubbornness, Uchiha Yoru shook his head quietly, then muttered to himself, "According to intelligence, Orochimaru-sensei's forbidden techniques have made great progress, and last time he fought Jiraiya in Konoha, I could sense the residual natural energy on his body."

At this point, Uchiha Yoru glanced at Tsunade without making it obvious, and jokingly remarked, "It seems that Tsunade-hime has become the weakest of the three legendary ninja."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade, who was always competitive, raised an eyebrow and said with a forced smile, "A clumsy attempt to provoke you."

However, Tsunade felt a sense of urgency. The Sannin were not only comrades but also formidable competitors, especially Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who were both commoners. Now, not only had they caught up with her, but it seemed that they were already subtly surpassing her.

If Jiraiya had mastered Sage Mode, then it would be hard to say. As for Orochimaru, Tsunade narrowed her eyes even more. Orochimaru was an absolute genius, especially in his talent for ninjutsu.

Moreover, she knew a little about the other party's secret research into forbidden techniques, and if they really made a breakthrough...

Thinking of this, it's as if her two former companions from humble backgrounds have not only ridden on her carriage, but have even surpassed her by half a step.

"Kid, your cursed seal seems interesting; it doesn't look like Orochimaru's cursed seal."

Tsunade suddenly revealed a thoughtful smile. Although she wandered the ninja world, she also had her own intelligence system. She was well aware of what was happening in Konoha, and she also had her own information about Orochimaru's development of the Cursed Seal.

Although it wasn't much, she had clearly examined Uchiha Yoru's body, and the cursed seal on him seemed more like his own power.

When the topic of cursed seals came up, Uchiha Yoru smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. My cursed seal was created based on Orochimaru's cursed seal. As for the differences, they seem to be secrets of my body."

The human body itself is a huge treasure. For example, no one can explain why Yamato can awaken Wood Release while others cannot, and so on.

"Since we're parting ways this time, take the time to study this carefully on your journey. Consider it a parting gift."

Seeing that Tsunade was very interested in his cursed seal, Uchiha Yoru smiled and slowly moved closer, opening his mouth to reveal his teeth.

With Chuck's help, two fangs protruded slightly, and when Tsunade saw this, her hands merely formed a few hand seals.

puff~

The tiger's fang pierced the skin of her neck, the scent of fresh blood lingering on her bud, while a sweet fragrance wafted around her nose.

As the power of the cursed seal was channeled in, a black, burning three-tomoe mark slowly appeared on Tsunade's neck. At this moment, Tsunade frowned, unable to help but grimace due to the heat and pain emanating from the cursed seal on her neck.

Sealing Evil Seal - Seal

As soon as Tsunade formed a hand seal, tadpole-shaped sealing runes instantly appeared on her skin, forming a circle around the cursed seal in a flash.

The sealing technique sealed the power of the curse mark in a specific area, and the stinging sensation from the power immediately disappeared from the body.

However, the warm touch on her neck made Tsunade's face flush red, and she snorted coldly, "Kid, are you still not done yet?"

Despite being warned, Uchiha Yoru still took a big bite before opening his mouth.

boo~

A crisp snap came from his neck, and Uchiha Yoru, having released his grip, licked his lips, revealing a lingering sense of satisfaction. He then squinted and chuckled, "This can be considered a stamp that belongs exclusively to me, Uchiha Yoru, on Princess Tsunade."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade chuckled dismissively, wiped the drool from her neck, and waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Kid, I already told you we're not the right age."

"A woman three years older brings good fortune, a woman thirty years older brings wealth; although the difference isn't quite thirty, it's still half the country."

"Do you think a feud between the Senju and Uchiha clans is possible?"

"Didn't you just say that you're not from the Senju clan?" Uchiha Yoru said shamelessly. "Besides, the rise of the Senju clan depends entirely on you."

As he said this, he glanced at her flat stomach, and Tsunade's forehead veins bulged. She sneered, "Kid, you really go all out for the clan's mission."

She had just seen Uchiha Setsuna's letter with her own eyes. It was a complete instruction to put aside all dignity and, as long as he could win over Tsunade, he would let Uchiha Yoru take over the position of elder after they returned.

This is pure, blatant temptation.

In response to Tsunade's words, Uchiha Yoru shrugged, smiled, and nodded and shook his head, saying, "The clan mission is one thing, but my choice is equally important."

"I don't want to have any regrets." Uchiha Yoru's expression became even more solemn as he said the last sentence.

Faced with the solemn confession, Tsunade scoffed and waved her hand dismissively, looking bored, but there was still a hint of a smile in her eyes. After all, no woman dislikes being pursued by a young, handsome man.

Moreover, the other party is not only young and cute, but also quite strong, and comes from a decent family. More importantly, the other party's kaleidoscope was opened for her.

As a princess of the Senju clan, how could she not know about the existence of the kaleidoscope?

The Sharingan, also known as the Cursed Eye, is awakened through intense emotional stimulation and continues to evolve.

But the kaleidoscope can only be activated after experiencing the immense pain of losing a loved one.

"Little puppy, are you planning to live off a woman?"

Faced with Uchiha Yoru's direct and honest declaration of his feelings, showing no sign of backing down, Tsunade gave up and spoke in a provocative manner.

"A gigolo?" Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoru looked puzzled, pointed at his own nose and laughed, "The medical ninja said I have a weak stomach and am suitable to be a gigolo, and I'd rather be a gigolo by force."

Tsunade immediately revealed a long-lost innocent smile. There was no need to be so guarded when the two of them were together. She could say whatever she wanted. After all, the other person was someone who would give his life for her. Why should she be afraid of him?

"On the battlefield, I saw it clearly: when your three-tomoe Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyou Sharingan, one eye evolved immediately, while the other evolved slowly. Could you tell me when your other eye evolved?"

Even close relatives among ninjas wouldn't inquire about each other's secrets. It's clear that Tsunade's curiosity was more of a reckless attempt to sow discord between the two.

But Uchiha Yoru didn't care about this. He had almost risked his life, and it would be a disgrace to give up all his efforts over such a small matter.

Besides, he also trusted Tsunade's character.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan in my left eye was awakened when Orochimaru was expelled. It is the awakened eye technique, Miwa Myojin, which I call the Sage Eye. It can manipulate Sage Chakra to enhance ninjutsu and genjutsu."

"Orochimaru!" Tsunade muttered to herself upon hearing this. The information from back then flashed through her mind. It seemed that this kid hadn't yet stepped into the limelight and was still a minor character.

"Back then, how should I put it? All of us in the Uchiha clan placed our hopes on the future Fifth Hokage, believing that only a new Hokage could bring hope."

Uchiha Yoru spoke casually, but Tsunade, who knew the difficulty of awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, calmly looked at the boy in front of her. She seemed nonchalant, but she knew that it must have been awakened under the shattering of all hope and despair.

Otherwise, kaleidoscopes would have been everywhere long ago.
