Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 201 The Fifty-Nine Years of Konoha

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet. We're almost at Konoha. Let's keep a respectful distance."

"Yes, teacher!"

Outside Konoha Village in the Land of Fire, a large group of teenagers dressed as students, led by an orange-haired ninja, headed towards Konoha.

They walked and stopped frequently, constantly looking around, seemingly filled with curiosity about everything in Konoha.

Of course, the topics they discussed most along the way were things like "Why doesn't it rain in the Land of Fire?"

After all, their hometown is shrouded in rain all year round!

"And this place is so beautiful!"

Listening to what the group of teenagers said, the teacher leading the group shook his head helplessly. The Land of Fire occupies the most abundant resources in the entire ninja world. How could it not be beautiful?

However, he wasn't jealous of these things, because his hometown had already made great progress with the help of Konoha.

"The Fifth Hokage was truly a good person."

He murmured to himself, “Time flies by in the blink of an eye, and the changes over the years are memorable for most people.”

Whether it's the Land of Fire itself, or everyone affected by the policies of the Hagoromo!

Just like their Rain Country, in recent years they have truly experienced what development and change mean.

He knew all too well how poor the Land of Rain had been before.

As a small country, the Land of Rain is inevitably poor due to the war crisis caused by angering Konoha and the scarcity of resources caused by the never-ending rain.

Hanzo launched the war back then to break all of this, but in the end he only prevented the Land of Rain from further wars, but also deprived it of the potential for development.

Poverty and hunger seem to be the eternal theme of the Rain Kingdom, a cage from which no one can escape.

Even though Nagato made a series of changes after taking office, which did improve the situation in the Land of Rain slightly, it was still far from enough.

Until Nagato and Hagoromo reached an agreement, and Hagoromo began to plan and reorganize the Land of Rain!

After Konoha, representing the Land of Fire, and Nagato, representing the Land of Rain, signed various agreements, funds and personnel from the Land of Fire began to flow in on a large scale.

They explored the terrain to find resources, established factories to create jobs for civilians, helped the Land of Rain establish a better ninja system and structure, and made money for the entire Land of Rain!

Under their leadership, the living standards and quality of life in the Land of Rain have visibly improved.

Although it continued to rain throughout the Land of Rain, the rain could no longer wash away the happiness radiating from people's faces.

Even though they know that their lives are far inferior to those of the people of the Land of Fire, at least they see hope!

"Moreover, now that passage between the two sides has been opened, they can enter each other's countries. Even though checks are still required, many things have become much more convenient."

The young man with orange hair looked up, initially not understanding why he had to wait until now to be released.

However, he soon understood after meeting the Fifth Hokage.

The Land of Fire is too rich; if it hadn't been restricted before, it could easily have caused all sorts of trouble.

In addition, Konoha did not do a good job in many aspects, such as their publicity work.

As Konoha's propaganda efforts intensified, the concept of "we are all the same"—a concept constantly embodied in various books and films—began to spread.

It began to penetrate the hearts of all kinds of people and was gradually accepted by them. At this point, letting go was indeed the most appropriate thing to do.

Moreover, both sides need to make other preparations for opening up the passage, namely, guarding against some people with ulterior motives.

"After all, the Land of Rain is quite unique, as it is connected to Konoha and also linked to other ninja villages."

He muttered to himself, but he also raised his head and greedily inhaled the air of Konoha, which was completely different from that of the Land of Rain. Just then, a boy's voice rang out.

"Yahiko-sensei, why haven't we left yet?"

The orange-haired youth, Yahiko, turned his head and looked over. A red-haired boy was looking at him, and he smiled and spoke.

"Gaara, are you in such a hurry? I heard that the Fifth Hokage helped you solve the problem of the Tailed Beasts."

"Yes, Mr. Yahiko."

Gaara nodded. Gaara now looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

Although several years have passed, he has grown considerably, and now he considers himself a member of the Land of Rain, not the son of the Kazekage.

However, he has always remembered how Haori helped him defeat the Tailed Beast and, together with Nagato, guided him to the path of the future.

He had always wanted to meet with Yuzhi, but it wouldn't be easy to achieve this, since Yuzhi was the Hokage!

Moreover, he was with members of the Akatsuki organization, and there was a huge difference in their social status.

Now that they can come to Konoha on their own initiative, Gaara naturally can't wait and doesn't want to wait, and this time he also has a legitimate reason to come.

Therefore, when faced with Yahiko's questions, he didn't hide anything at all.

"I've been waiting for so many years, and I think it's time now."

"You little rascal, you really don't hide anything at all."

Yahiko was somewhat amused and exasperated by Gaara's words, but he didn't argue much, because he himself wanted to meet with Haori.

After being resurrected, he only met Yuzhi once in all those years, so he also wanted to have a good talk with her.

Of course, this is just his idea.

After all, the Hokage, Yuki, has been in charge of so many things, not only in the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, but also in the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Tea.

His influence has spread to many small countries near the Land of Fire, and everyone has begun to live a better life.

Even though Yahiko knew very well that the price was to accept the "universal values ​​of Konoha," so what?

There are many ways to achieve peace, and he has learned about the "truth of the ninja world," so naturally he is willing to cooperate.

"If I can't see him, I'll go and pay a visit to Jiraiya-sensei."

Yahiko muttered to himself, but at that moment Gaara turned his head to look into the distance, which made Yahiko a little curious.

"What's wrong?"

"Yahiko-sensei, was that caused by the Hokage?"

Gaara pointed to a valley in the distance and asked curiously.

"Forehead"

Yahiko looked in the direction Gaara pointed, and his face immediately darkened.

Not far away, there was a strangely shaped valley with a huge, deep pit where a waterfall cascaded down and a winding river rushed into the distance.

However, this place looks rather strange, because it was once a battleground between the Yugi and the Akatsuki organization!

Many years ago, Yuki single-handedly defeated the Akatsuki, even though she held back a little during that battle.

Even so, it still caused such destruction, which shows just how terrifying the power of the haori is.

In particular, Yahiko remembered that Nagato had told him that Haori had defeated him with almost no effort, simply by using a strange black ball.

Even the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had one of its arms broken by the attack of that black sphere!

In that battle, the Akatsuki suffered a complete defeat, and even the guy who deceived Nagato was exceptionally miserable.

just

"You brat, why did you have to say something like that? Do you believe your Nagato-sensei will be very unhappy?"

Yahiko shook his head, reached out and rubbed Gaara's head with a smile, and seeing that Gaara wanted to say something, he immediately spoke first.

"Alright, stop talking. Do you want to see the Hokage? If you keep dawdling and waiting for him to get off work, you won't get to see him."

Also, don't call me by my name, just like back in the Land of Rain, understand?

Yahiko's resurrection remains a secret, and he has been strictly disguising himself to prevent anyone from discovering it.

"I understand, teacher."

Gaara had no idea what was going on. Although he was full of questions, he nodded and didn't ask any more.

What he longs for most now is to see the person who easily defeated the One-Tailed Beast in his mind's eye and taught him how to walk the path of the future.

"Have you heard? People from the Land of Rain are coming."

"Not only people from the Land of Rain, but also from the Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Tea, and even people from Kirigakure are coming."

"Could this be the start of the Chunin Exams?"

"Idiot, I heard the Joint Chunin Exams are next year. This year is normal. These are just exchange students, just like in previous years."

"But there seem to be a few too many people coming this time, don't you?"

Inside the Konoha Ninja Academy, a large number of students were constantly talking, and what they were exchanging were not only trivial matters of daily life, but also those who had come to Konoha.

Starting a few years ago, Konoha announced that every year, rotating students and exchange students would come to Konoha to study.

Although no one knows exactly who was exchanged, it's clear that no one cares about that; they're more curious about the outsiders.

Even after so many years, people's curiosity remains unchanged.

"Neji, aren't you curious?"

In the upperclassmen's class, Haku tilted his head and looked at Neji, who was looking down and frowning, seemingly engrossed in something. He asked him a question out of curiosity.

Kimimaro glanced at it as well, but quickly looked away.

"There's nothing to be curious about, after all, I come here every year, I'm used to it."

Neji smiled nonchalantly, then scratched his head and said helplessly.

"I'm really curious about this graduation exam. So many people came, and they're all said to be quite strong. Even people from Kirigakure are here."

I feel like the teacher wants to push us a bit harder, since that's what the teacher always says.

Although it's not good to complain about your teacher behind their back, especially since your teacher is the Hokage.

However, over the years, Neji has basically figured out his teacher's thoughts, and his teacher's methods have really made him suffer.

Therefore, his occasional吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary) doesn't seem too out of place.

"That certainly sounds like the Hokage's method. Looks like you're in for some trouble this time."

A wicked smile appeared on Shiro's face, and Kimimaro also looked at Neji with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, which made Neji feel particularly helpless.

He already knew Bai and Kimimaro's true identities during the apprenticeship ceremony, and through their interactions over the years, he also realized just how terrifying they were.

Perhaps because he became the Hokage's disciple, and they were all classmates, his relationship with the two of them grew better and better.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it so much. Just do your job well."

Neji sighed, then asked curiously.

"By the way, do you guys know how the classes will be divided this time?"

"You haven't even passed the assessment, and you're already thinking about being placed in a different class?"

Bai looked at Neji with amusement, then quickly shook his head.

"I don't know. Wouldn't it be better if you asked your father? Maybe he could ask the Hokage for you."

A few years ago, Hyuga Hizashi, under pressure from the haori and increasingly distrusted by the clan, and under strict management, finally chose to take action.

Despite having learned the secret techniques of Yang Release and having the cooperation of the Anbu, the main family's strength should not be underestimated, after all, they have mastered the Caged Bird Seal.

Fortunately, everything was eventually quelled, and Hiashi Hyuga did not resist too fiercely.

He was a smart man, and when he saw Neji being taken as a disciple instead of Hinata or Hanabi, he already understood a lot.

Although he really couldn't understand why Hagoromo chose the branch family instead of the main family, he didn't want to guess the Hokage's thoughts, nor was there any need to.

There's only one answer: the Hokage was unaware of the situation, and everything was done by his subordinates without authorization.

He didn't think the main family members would be a match for the Hokage, so the whole thing was quickly quelled, and he got an incredible result.

"Everyone must be captured by the Caged Bird Seal and all spells controlling it must be destroyed!"

This outcome left him utterly bewildered, but when he was also recorded onto the Caged Bird Sequence and taken to the moon, he seemed to understand something.

"The Hokage needs the power of the Hyuga clan to deal with the unknown calamities recorded in the ancient texts of the Hyuga clan on the Moon!"

Having figured this out, Hiashi Hyuga was speechless, because he knew what was going on and why Hagoromo had taken the initiative to go to these branch family members.

Those who branched out of the family are skilled and experienced in combat, making them the true elite of the Hyuga clan in terms of fighting ability.

Giving them the data about the moon will inevitably lead to their rapid growth, and the war between the main family and the branch family will eventually break out.

"The main family will eventually realize the problem. Then either the main family will also gain control, or they will take action against the branch family when it is completely unprepared. Therefore..."

Hiashi Hyuga imagined a whole bunch of things in his mind, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, but thinking that way was definitely not wrong.

Hyuga Hizashi did not make things difficult for his brother's family, even though he was criticized, he was very clear about one thing.

With Yuzhi's support, no matter what others think, they will definitely not have any problems!

Hyuga Hizashi's status within the clan has risen dramatically. Regardless of the true nature of the main family elders who intend to rebel, this matter is already a foregone conclusion.

Hyuga Hizashi and Hyuga Hiashi jointly controlled the clan, which can be considered a good result, and Neji naturally rose in status as well.

"Let's forget about this one. No matter how we divide it, it shouldn't be too bad."

Neji was somewhat tempted, but after thinking it over, he finally shook his head. He really didn't dare, and he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

"My father probably won't agree. In his view, whatever the teacher arranges is correct, and he won't care even if I'm 'trained' until my skin is torn and bleeding."

"Damn it, Hinata and Hanabi are so much better; they have it so easy."

Hinata and Hanabi are doing quite well. The Caged Bird Seal is terrifying, but those who later receive the seal also benefit from it.

After Hiashi Hyuga took the initiative and joined forces with Konoha to study the Caged Bird Seal, they finally made some improvements to it.

Peeling it off is impossible, but it's still possible to eliminate the damage to the whites of the eyes.

At least it can prevent damage to the nerves and avoid creating a blind spot in the white eye. The curse seal will only be triggered to erase the white eye if the person dies or the host activates it himself.

It can be said that this version of Caged Bird has been greatly modified. The current Caged Bird only has the ability to protect its white eyes.

Although there are also big problems here, such as the loss of bloodlines because those who were arrested chose to compromise in order to survive.

However, this was also the result of negotiations between the main family and the branch family, and negotiations are inherently about mutual compromise.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Although Neji's mind was full of these messy things, he quickly shook his head and smiled.

"I actually hoped to be grouped with you guys, since we all know each other quite well."

I think the possibility is very low.

Kimimaro, who hadn't said much, shook his head and pointed at Neji.

"Your grades have always been number one. Although Bai and I sometimes slack off, our grades are still pretty good."

Normally, we would all be separated, but Bai is very functional, so I think the probability of me being with him is still quite high.

But you, I'm afraid you'll be grouped normally, or perhaps...

"Or what?"

Neji didn't understand for a moment, so he asked curiously.

"Of course you'd repeat a year, then wait for Sasuke and Naruto, and team up with them."

Haku smiled brightly, while Neji's expression instantly turned ugly.

He really overlooked this: whenever he went to see Yuki, Sasuke and Naruto would come over, and then they would all be tortured and trained together.

The three of them have a pretty good understanding of each other, so it's not impossible for them to team up.

"But I'm a year ahead of them, and I have to wait for them to form teams. Does that mean I'll really have to repeat a year?"

Neji was sweating profusely; he couldn't even bear to think about such a terrifying thing.

Bai shrugged indifferently and asked with a smile.

"By the way, a new movie is coming out, want to go see it together?"

"I heard it's quite interesting. The Hokage himself planned and oversaw it. Izumi-neechan is going to see it too. Let's go together."

Kimimaro nodded in agreement. He wouldn't object to anything Bai said, especially since their eldest sister, Uchiha Izumi, was going too, so he would naturally go with her.

But while the two of them chatted and laughed, Neji didn't pay any attention; he was genuinely worried that such a thing would happen.

"If that's really the case, won't I get beaten to death when I go back?"

-

"Hokage, when exactly are you planning to attack other small countries?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? We've only just started to see results, and I've said before that the war of public opinion needs to be guided slowly; rushing it won't yield good results!"

"Aren't you afraid of countermeasures? The propaganda over the years has been good enough; do you want to go further?"

"I naturally have my own thoughts. Besides, Tobirama Senju, you've overstepped your bounds. I am the true Hokage!"

"You'll regret this!"

Inside the Hokage's office, Minato Inui watched the two arguing again with a helpless smile.

Years have passed, and Haori and Tobirama Senju have become increasingly in sync in their work, but the two of them always end up arguing over various issues, which he has grown accustomed to.

Minato is still the Hokage's assistant, but being the Hokage's assistant is an "ideal workplace" job that is "easy, well-paid, close to home, high position, and light responsibility".

He looks exactly the same as before, still as young as ever.

Moreover, with Tobirama Senju as the professional scapegoat, Hagoromo no longer had to act as Danzo, so his mental state was naturally better.

Looking around, no one would realize that he was already in his thirties or forties, and that his son was about to graduate from the ninja academy.

In comparison, the third generation, who was sitting to the side with a pipe in his mouth, looked much older.

Time waits for no one, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is almost seventy, already has gray hair, but he is still in good spirits.

Many years ago, after Yuzhi revived his wife Yuan Fei Biwako, his family was finally reunited.

However, there was one thing that made the Third Hokage's mood fluctuate: for some reason, the Impure World Reincarnation technique he used made Biwako appear exceptionally young.

The Third Hokage also talked to Haori about this matter, and even Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Asuma came to see Haori. These two guys just couldn't stand that their mother looked about the same age as them.

However, there was nothing Yuri could do about it. The Impure World Reincarnation was modified by Tobirama Senju, and Kakashi could withstand it, so what else could they say?

Sarutobi Biwako was quite happy, but the third generation was a bit anxious and uncertain.

"Alright, everyone, please stop arguing."

With a pipe dangling from his lips, he watched as the Third Hokage, who had already stopped talking to Hagoromo and his teacher, finally spoke with a smile.

"Teacher, I support the fifth generation. There will always be opportunities. What we need now is to take it one step at a time. There won't be any problems if we take it slow."

"Yes, Second Hokage, the Hokage's policies have always been stable and reliable, and everything is proceeding according to the Hokage's plan."

Minato smiled and slowly explained to the displeased Second Hokage.

"The various cultural awards promoted by the Hokage and the Second Hokage have begun to show their power, and more and more people from other countries are choosing to watch them."

Even the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Thunder, as well as the smaller countries that were with them, tried to stop them, but it was too late and there was little they could do.

The machine of public opinion has been set in motion, and some things will gradually take root in people's hearts. We have already gained the upper hand; now we just need to wait patiently for the right opportunity.

Minato said exactly what Hagoromo wanted to express, and over the years, Hagoromo's propaganda campaign through Konoha has truly achieved tremendous results.

Although Hagoromo could not achieve the level of "secretly manipulating the world, selling arms, exporting weapons, and plunging other countries into chaos".

However, he could still try to "master the culture and propaganda machine, export books, movies and universal values ​​to other countries, and change the minds of people in other countries".

The above methods, before Yuzhi traveled through time, were basically like revealing the identity card number of some countries, but they are still particularly useful here.

With the secret nurturing and large-scale funding from Konoha, various writers began to emerge, and cultural awards also began to appear.

Some authors invited by Konoha were initially unwilling to cooperate due to issues of integrity, but under Konoha's powerful "offensive"...

All they could say was, "He gave too much," and "You guys have a good eye for people."

As for those "stubborn diehards," they can basically only "live out their old age" in the Land of Fire.

This doesn't mean he stopped writing anything, or that he lost all avenues for expression, or that he couldn't even leave the country.

Yuzhi wouldn't go so far as to be cruel, after all, he knew that some things needed "opposite arguments" to generate buzz.

As long as they control public opinion and manage the direction of public opinion, the outcome will still go in the direction they want.

Therefore, these people are becoming less and less effective, and are basically in a semi-"outdated" state.

The cultural promotion through books has been quite effective, and Yuzhi is also making continuous efforts in the film industry.

In recent years, various films showcasing the affluent lifestyle of the Land of Fire and various villages with good relations with Konoha have begun to be made in cooperation with Konoha.

These shoots are mostly centered around the theme of Konoha ninjas "defeating enemies and saving the village." It's not that Hagoromo doesn't want to shoot something more profound, but rather that the time isn't right yet.

He originally wanted to go all out right away, but he knew that some things need to be done step by step.

Only by gradually getting others to accept his "ideas" can he take a step further; otherwise, going all out right from the start will only backfire.

"Hmph, if you don't target those small countries, those powerful ninja villages will only go even further."

Seeing that no one was on his side, Tobirama Senju was somewhat embarrassed and snorted coldly.

"The small countries that followed us have already undergone tremendous changes. If you don't seize this opportunity, what are you thinking?"

"It's better to let other small countries see this too."

Haori shrugged and asked with a smile.

"Don't you know that sometimes forcing things on others won't yield good results? Instead, letting them see and think for themselves will lead to better outcomes."

Distance makes the heart grow fonder; what we can see but not touch is the greatest longing in our hearts, the unchanging white moonlight.

Besides, sometimes we don't need to rush them to join in. Wouldn't it be better to let them stir things up in their own countries?

Upon hearing these words, Tobirama Senju shook his head. How could he not know these principles? He just felt that the time was right to take action.

This kind of childish game with the haori isn't what he wants, especially since he knows there are external enemies. This is the key to his desire to accelerate the unification of the ninja world.

However, Yuzhi's policies were not wrong, after all, the people's hearts were unstable in other small countries.

The small countries that followed Konoha developed beyond imagination. With Konoha's help, various mineral resources were developed, and Konoha also carried out large-scale infrastructure construction.

This created countless jobs, providing stable employment and higher incomes for people in the Land of Fire and other smaller countries.

This is why they can read books or go to the cinema to watch movies when they have free time.

Normally, they wouldn't even dare to think about these things, because they couldn't even get enough to eat, let alone have time to think about these issues.

In just a few years, under Konoha's leadership, they have undergone such tremendous changes. How could other small countries that were originally just as miserable not be envious?

Especially the Land of Rain, this most unique little country.

The Land of Rain is dealing with a strategic location, and everyone knows that Konoha has designs on him, as do the other major ninja villages, which is why he seems indecisive.

On one hand, he accepts funding from Konoha, and on the other hand, he mingles with the other four great nations, but it seems that everyone is worried that he will turn his back on the other side.

Therefore, everyone tacitly approved of his actions. However, what is now causing concern among the other major powers is that the Rain Kingdom is developing extremely rapidly by taking advantage of this opportunity.

The Land of Rain seems to have become a thorn embedded in their side, constantly venting everything that Konoha wants to vent.

It is because of their existence that other effects become increasingly unbearable. It is also because of them that books and movies from Konoha can flow into their territory without any hindrance.

Seeing that their former "poor buddy" Rain Country has now become prosperous, it's understandable that they would have other ideas about how to achieve similar results.

"Fine, you always have a bunch of fallacies."

Tobirama Senju really didn't know what to say, and in the end he couldn't help but sigh.

"I just hope you don't forget that we have more important enemies; they are the crises, even catastrophes, that we must confront!"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, I've been working very hard all these years."

Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's words, Hagoromo couldn't help but shake his head with amusement.

"As for you, how are you doing now? How's your research on the Impure World Reincarnation going? How's the research on those cultists going? When do you want to be resurrected? When does your older brother want to be resurrected?"

Haori's barrage of words made Tobirama Senju's face darken even more; he had no idea how to respond.

He has not yet been fully resurrected because his research is not yet complete, so he has not taken any action.

As for his older brother, although he had an idea on how to "assemble" a body suitable for him, he felt that the materials were too scarce and he couldn't achieve the required strength, so he hadn't continued.

"Let's put in a little more effort. Perhaps we don't need to fully recover our strength to achieve good results."

Yuzhi stood up, stretched slightly, and then smiled.

"Maybe after using the 'Self-Reincarnation' technique, your older brother will be able to be fully revived."

"No, everything needs to be taken seriously. I don't want results like 'probably' or 'maybe'!"

Tobirama Senju shook his head and glared at Haori.

"Then it's up to you, I'm not going to keep you company."

Hagoromo didn't want to talk to Tobirama Senju any longer. He checked the time and prepared to leave.

"The movie I produced is about to be released, and I have to go see it no matter what. Minato, I think you're going too?"

"Yes, Kushina, Naruto, and I will go together."

Minato nodded. Perhaps because of Haori Gentsugu, the movies of this era were vastly different from the original work.

At least, it won't be something that ninjas would immediately recognize as fake.

For example, a fire jutsu could burn a group of people to death.

"You bunch of guys."

Seeing the attitudes of Haori and Minato, Tobirama Senju felt quite helpless and shook his head in resignation, too lazy to say anything more.

He no longer dares to criticize Yuzhi as the "lazy dog ​​Hokage," because the facts have proven that Yuzhi is indeed a better Hokage than him!

Both in terms of political achievements and in terms of Yuzhi's personal abilities.

"You're back?"

"Okay, let's go out for dinner and then see a movie."

In Haori's home, Haori, still wearing her signature haori robe, stroked her chin.

"Don't you ever consider changing your clothes, like a kimono or something?"

"don't want."

Hikaru was momentarily displeased upon hearing Haori's words, and she pursed her lips before speaking.

"How dare you talk about kimonos! You tore up that expensive, custom-made kimono last time! You pervert!"

"Just tear it up and buy another one, it's not a big deal."

Yuzhi shrugged. Actually, she would look good in anything, and besides, Yuzhi herself was quite "unkempt".

He didn't like wearing kimonos; wherever he went, he wore the standard Uchiha battle uniform or robe, at most donning the "Hokage's Divine Robe," which was about it.

After all, if you're good-looking, it doesn't matter what you wear.

However, their attire influenced countless members of the Uchiha clan, and even many clothing stores in Konoha were forced to produce similar styles.

As a result, that ordinary-looking robe or combat uniform, except for the lack of a clan crest and its monochromatic color, became a bestseller in Konoha.

"You idiot, are clothes meant to be torn?"

Hikari seemed to have long accepted Haori's "unusual" hobby, and upon hearing this, she could only ask, both amused and exasperated.

"I won't do anything to others, but I definitely will to do something to you."

Yuzhi nodded shamelessly, then walked slowly while smiling as she spoke.

"Speaking of which, should we make a movie to commemorate this, like 'Naruto's Love Story'?"

It's not surprising that Yuzhi has this idea, since someone has actually suggested that Yuzhi reveal her own story.

His story is incredibly inspiring, from an Uchiha boy whose school life was "not ideal" to a former "bottom of the class".

He survived the battlefield step by step, becoming the Minister of Police, the head of the Uchiha clan, and now the Fifth Hokage!

Such an inspiring story will definitely motivate more people to work harder.

This suggestion made Yuzhi think deeply, and he even wondered if he should make a "Young Yuzhi" series.

The story begins with the fact that Hagoromo's life at the ninja academy is not ideal.

Anyway, it makes sense, doesn't it?

"Let's talk about this later, it's something like that."

Hikari gently shook her head. Strictly speaking, she wasn't the real "Uchiha Hikari." Although she was used to using that name, she didn't know much about "Hikari."

If something goes wrong, it will be hard to explain, and she doesn't want to cause any trouble for Yuzhi.

Even though she knew that no one would bother Yuzhi.

"Fine, whatever you want."

Yuzhi didn't care. He looked at the crowds on the street and shook his head slightly.

"There are so many people here. Looks like we can get a good price for this. But after this is over, we're going to the moon too."

"The moon?"

Guang tilted her head slightly, then nodded gently.

Are you ready?

"It wasn't me, it was you."

Hagoromo smiled and looked at Hikaru as he spoke.

"My Indra power is too strong, causing my Asura power to be unbalanced. Although I feel it's almost there, I'd like to test your situation."

Over the years, Haori and Hikari have also made steady progress in their growth.

Back then, Hagoromo defeated the Akatsuki members with the help of Truth-Seeking Balls, and even broke one of the arms of the Gedo Mazo controlled by Nagato.

Even though Nagato held back and didn't intend to fight with all his might, Hagoromo still learned about her own strength through that experience.

With such power, he was certain that unless Nagato underwent another super evolution and the Gedo Mazo absorbed the power of the tailed beasts, there should be no enemies in this era for the time being.

Unless, Madara Uchiha, who possesses the Rinnegan, is truly resurrected.

However, Uchiha Madara was one step ahead of Hagoromo. In recent years, apart from consistently teaching (beating up) Sasuke, Naruto, and Neji, he has been staying on the moon.

Obito's last action was probably to seize the Edo Tensei, but after failing once again, he finally settled down.

Having been brutally beaten head-on by Hagoromo, Hikaru, Shisui, and even Minato and Kakashi, it's really difficult for him to cause any more trouble. He really needs to calm down.

However, he remained calm, while Haori and Hikari were also progressing, as was Shisui.

With the help of Haori, Shisui has now also awakened the Eternal Eye, but his progress is much slower than Haori and Hikaru's.

As for Haori and Hikari, they have gone further and further down the path of bloodline limits. Now they have mastered fire release, scorch release, lava release, as well as storm release, ice release and magnet release!

It can be said that they are now only missing the fusion of Yin and Yang Release before they can take the final step to achieve Bloodline Limit!

However, their progress in integrating their own genes and bloodlines is not as fast as imagined.

However, none of this is a big deal. As long as the power of 'Indra' and 'Asura' is fused, everything will be fine.

The Rinnegan is their starting point for climbing to higher levels, not their end.

Only by fusing with the Bloodline Limits and integrating their own bloodlines into one can they truly achieve the "Six Paths".

This is the true path to godhood that belongs to them!

"I see. It seems I'll be faster than you this time."

Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but laugh.

"It feels like going back to those days. Back then, you didn't have a kaleidoscope, but I already did."

"Yes, yes, just like back then, you've outdone me."

Yuzhi shrugged nonchalantly, then said with a mischievous grin.

"Since you're already on top of me, how about you take over from now on?"

"Am I on top?"

Hikaru was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting yet, while Haori continued to laugh.

"Yeah, you're on top, is it fully automatic?"

"You...you're such a pervert!"
