I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 51, Rank B Mission: Uchiha Shisui!

Leave the empty zone and return to Konoha.

Nara Rinka completely disregarded Uchiha Inahisa's words.

His conflict with Uchiha Inaho was ultimately just a clash between juniors.

It's not like he defeated Uchiha Inahi, and then Uchiha Fugaku would come knocking on his door asking for a fight the next moment, right?

If we defeat Fugaku Uchiha, will we have to bring Madara Uchiha back?

"The only thing worth noting in that battle just now was that we didn't trigger the battle mission against Uchiha Inahi."

Nara Ranka returned home and created a shadow clone to pack his belongings, as he needed to return to Kikyo Castle later.

Different levels of combat missions have different cooldown times.

"There's no such requirement for using the guaranteed drop rate... This seems like another shortcut for farming [Ninja Scrolls]..."

Just as Nara Rinka was pondering how best to farm the [Ninja Scrolls],

[Shadow Clone] quickly prepared the items he needed and packed them in a bag.

"Let's go back first!"

After finishing my Nara laurel viewing and using the "shadow clone" technique, I packed my bags and set off.

"Let's go back to our clan's territory first, then to the Kikyō Orphanage. If we have some free time, we'll go to the Rokumeikan..."

Nara Rinka made a plan, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure standing not far away outside.

Uchiha Inahisa.

"What are you trying to do, squatting at my doorstep?"

Nara Rinka watched the newcomer speechlessly.

"Do you really think members of a high-ranking police force would ambush an innocent villager in the heart of Konoha?"

"Don't smear the Uchiha clan!"

Uchiha Inahime glared at Nara Ranka.

"Although I am no match for you—"

"Good to know!"

Upon hearing this, Nara Rinka immediately interrupted the other person.

"I have something to take care of now, you may leave."

This guy's attitude is awful!

Uchiha Inahisa clenched her fists.

But what Nara Rinka said was true.

Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't find any reason to refute it.

"But there are people in the Uchiha clan who are stronger than me."

Uchiha Inahime pretended not to hear Nara Ranke's words and forced herself to finish speaking.

"Besides, I've already brought him here; you're no match for him!"

"First, you're just a Chunin. There are definitely people in the Uchiha clan who are stronger than you."

Seeing that the other party was really stubborn, Nara Rinka sighed and slowly said.

"Secondly, it was really just a minor conflict; there were no injuries or bloodshed."

"Third, even if we take a step back and say this is just a conflict between the two of us, you shouldn't involve other people."

This guy makes a really good point, I can't find a single point to refute him...

Uchiha Inahi's anger and impulsiveness gradually dissipated under Nara Ranke's point-by-point rebuttal.

But if he gave up so easily, he wouldn't be an Uchiha!

"Come out."

Uchiha Inahime pretended to be deaf for the moment and brought out the reinforcements that had just been brought in.

"Stop the water!"

Nara Rinka raised an eyebrow; he heard a very familiar name.

"Uchiha Shisui?"

"It's me, Nara."

Uchiha Shisui, with black hair, black eyes, and a round nose, emerged from the shadows.

"I never imagined that the person Daohuo was talking about... would actually be you."

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Uchiha Shisui, Nara Rinka's tone sounded somewhat familiar.

"You were quite surprised to see your former classmate, the worst student, brutally beat up the clan's little genius?"

Yes.

Nara Rinka and Uchiha Shisui were classmates in the same year.

However, due to health reasons, the former wasted several years in the ninja academy before graduating.

The latter, however, was a true genius who graduated early.

"Nara, you're not some loser."

A look of reminiscence crossed Uchiha Shisui's face.

"He possessed abundant theoretical knowledge and flawless tactical strategies, and he would stop writing once he reached a score of 60 on each exam. It's just a pity..."

His physical gifts were too lacking; he couldn't even maintain the most basic Three Body Techniques with his chakra reserves.

Uchiha Shisui abruptly changed the subject, "Nara, judging from your headband, have you already graduated from the Ninja Academy?"

Before Nara could reply.

Uchiha Inahime, who was standing nearby, couldn't wait to interject, "Shisui, do you know this person?"

"Didn't I just say that?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at his clansman friend with some helplessness and said somewhat vaguely.

"Nara and I were classmates, but... he lacked the talent for ninjas."

Lack of talent?

Are you talking about this guy who beat me twice, and he lacks talent?

If even he lacks talent, then what am I?

Uchiha Inaho tilted her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

"If it's just casual conversation, let's talk about it another day."

Nara Rinka waved to the two Uchiha.

"I have things to do now, so I'll take my leave."

"You can't leave!"

Uchiha Inahime reacted quickly and raised her hand to block Nara Rinka.

"Stop the water!"

Hearing the call of his clansmen, Uchiha Shisui could only step forward helplessly, looking apologetically at Nara Rinka.

"The Uchiha clan is truly stubborn; they won't let anything flow even if you pull the plug!"

The Nara laurel viewing trip has come to a halt once again.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"

"Accept me—"

Uchiha Inahime replied without hesitation.

"No, I accept Shisui's challenge!"

"What if I don't accept?"

Nara Rinka looked at Uchiha Inahika with curiosity.

"You two just stood in front of my house all day?"

"Why don't you have even a shred of honor and ambition as a member of the ninja clan?"

Uchiha Inahisa gritted her teeth.

"When faced with a challenge from an enemy, one should readily agree!"

"Since you've approached Shisui, it means you believe he's certain of victory."

Nara Rinka looked at Uchiha Inahikawa as if she were an idiot.

"Then tell me, why should I accept a match I'm destined to lose? And if I lose, how can I bring glory to the family?"

How do you know you're bound to lose?

Uchiha Inako spoke recklessly.

"What if you win?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui, who was standing to the side, was instantly speechless.

Brother, what exactly did you call me here for?

Nara Ranka chuckled, saying with a smile, "Isn't it perfectly normal for Nara to lose to the Uchiha?"

So... if I lose to you, am I not normal?

Uchiha Inahi was so angry that she almost activated her Sharingan.

"Nara-san, stop teasing Inahi."

Uchiha Shisui reluctantly stepped forward.

"How can you possibly accept Inahime's—no, my challenge?"

"Two conditions."

Nara Rinka slowly raised two fingers.

"First, this conflict is confined to the three of us and will never be allowed to spread further."

"Don't let another Uchiha walk up to me one day and say something like 'I want to challenge you.'"

"No problem," Uchiha Shisui readily agreed.

"Secondly, this time you are challenging me."

Nara Rinka looked at Uchiha Shisui.

"Then if I challenge you again in the future, you can't refuse."

"Um……"

Uchiha Shisui was about to nod when he suddenly paused.

"Um?"

"What are you standing there for?"

Nara Rinka waved to the two Uchiha.

"Let's find a training ground first."

……

Third exercise field.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

Nara Rinka and Uchiha Shisui stood on opposite sides, each making a hand seal facing the other.

Uchiha Inahisa, carrying Nara Rinka's backpack, stood in the middle, acting as the referee.

With a signal from the bag carrier/referee.

Uchiha Shisui dodged backward, creating distance.

Before the battle, Uchiha Inahisa had already told Uchiha Shisui all the information he knew about Nara Rinka's abilities.

"Proficient in shadow techniques, suspected of mastering Earth Release ninjutsu, genjutsu is ineffective..."

Uchiha Shisui gazed at Nara Rinka across the distance, taking a deep breath as he continuously refined fire-type chakra, gathering it within his meridians.

"Great Fireball Technique!"

wow——

A massive fireball, far surpassing the power and scale of Uchiha Inahi, erupted into the air, hurtling towards Nara Rinka's location with a ferocious momentum that could incinerate everything.

"Still choosing to start with the Great Fireball Technique? As expected of an Uchiha clan ninja, so confident."

Nara Rinka's gaze was fixed on the flames, the orange-red light reflecting off his glasses and stretching his shadow backward.

"Shisui, have you forgotten how Uchiha Inahi was defeated before?"

Considering the possibility that Uchiha Inahi might be conveying information.

Nara Rinka narrowed his eyes slightly. Instead of using the [Earth Dragon Concealment Technique] to approach as before, he disappeared into the shadows beneath his feet like flowing water.

[Shadow Technique]!

Ahead, Uchiha Shisui, after using the Great Fireball Technique, showed no intention of stopping. He gathered chakra in his feet and, taking advantage of the obstruction of vision caused by the Great Fireball, unleashed another D-rank taijutsu.

Body Flicker Technique!

Swah——

Uchiha Shisui's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

When he appeared, he was already behind where Nara Rinka had originally stood. His right hand was on the small sword behind his back, ready to attack.

Before Uchiha Shisui could draw his sword, he discovered that Nara Rinka's figure had also disappeared from the spot.

When?

Uchiha Shisui's pupils contracted slightly, and three black tomoe instantly appeared as he scanned his surroundings.

Where is he?

Shadow Binding Technique!

Nara Rinka's figure emerged behind Uchiha Shisui, his feet planted on the latter's shadow, using the overlapping shadows to firmly control his opponent.

The kunai landed in his palm, and Nara, holding the ninja tool, gently thrust it forward.

The sharp kunai pierced straight through Uchiha Shisui's kidneys.

however……

quack--

Amidst a cacophony of crows cawing.

Uchiha Shisui's body was torn into pieces, which transformed into crows that scattered all around, with feathers flying everywhere.

Crow Clone Technique!

In this chapter, Uchiha Shisui makes his appearance, so let's talk about his age.

Regarding the timing of water cessation, the following points are relevant:

1. In chapter 222 of the manga, Sasuke recalls Shisui committing suicide by drowning;

2. In chapter 459 of the manga, Ao's memories show that he (a Hidden Mist ninja) fought against Shisui.

3. In chapter 550 of the manga, Killer Bee narrates that Shisui, the strongest genjutsu user of the Uchiha clan, is the master of the Body Flicker Technique; in the same chapter, Itachi Uchiha narrates that Kotoamatsukami requires more than ten years to cool down, unless one has Hashirama Senju's chakra.

4. In chapter 590 of the manga, during Itachi Uchiha's genjutsu flashback, Shisui's right eye was taken, which he gave to his left eye before committing suicide; in the same chapter, Shisui attempted to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the clan coup.

5. In chapter 627 of the manga, according to Hiruzen Sarutobi's narration, Shisui is a descendant of Kagami Uchiha (not necessarily his biological son).

Based on the above information, the following timeline can be roughly deduced:

Uchiha Kagami had offspring, including Shisui (born 47 years before Konoha, and older than Uchiha Itachi).

Shisui was active in the Fog Hidden Battlefield and the Cloud Hidden Battlefield (most likely the Third World War, or possibly subsequent local wars).

Shisui had used Kotoamatsukami once and knew its cooldown time; (Konoha 59, which is more than ten years before and after).

Shisui's right eye was taken by Danzo, and he died (Konoha 59).

To simplify (including speculation).

Uchiha Shisui was born and active during the Third Shinobi World War (48-50). During the war, he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and used Kotoamatsukami. He died during peacetime.

Based on this calculation...

[Setting] Uchiha Shisui was born in Konoha in the 36th year.
