"Don't you think that makes sense?"
The only response from Genba was a heavy, cold snort from Itachi.
Gen Ye grinned and didn't seem to care.
The two stood side by side.
They walked together on the streets of the Uchiha clan's territory.
Genye shifted his gaze, scrutinizing Itachi.
Seven years later.
In order to achieve so-called peace in the ninja world, Itachi joined forces with Obito to carry out a brutal extermination of the Uchiha clan.
His friends, childhood sweethearts, and parents fell directly or indirectly under his sword.
That's really... insane.
The Fugaku couple were incredibly kind to Genba.
Without him, Genye would live a life of poverty.
They might even succumb to the cold winter.
No, Xuan Ye cannot allow the extermination of his clan to happen again.
To repay the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Fugaku.
It was also for the sake of himself, as an Uchiha.
This must change!
While Itachi is still young, we must subtly brainwash him.
Xuan Ye sighed deeply and said.
"Itachi, ever since the Nine-Tails incident, many people in the village have suspected that we Uchiha were the masterminds behind it all, and some have even blamed us for the death of the Fourth Hokage. The conflict between the Uchiha and Konoha may escalate."
After hearing Genba's words, Itachi thought for a moment and said:
"The Hokage is a leader who can distinguish right from wrong and will not listen to such slander. You can rest assured."
Itachi has now begun to idolize the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and believes in the Will of Fire.
Xuan Ye said "Oh," and then pretended to ask out of curiosity.
"But why would the Hokage, who is so discerning, drive our entire Uchiha clan to the outskirts of the village and isolate us?"
"This..." Itachi paused, stopping his thoughts.
In that natural disaster, the Uchiha clan did nothing wrong, so why were they driven to the edge of the village?
We're all part of Konoha, why can't we get along well?
Xuan Ye then sighed and said:
“I can clearly feel that ever since our ancestor Uchiha Madara betrayed Konoha, Konoha has stopped treating us as one of its own. Even though we sacrificed so much in World War II and World War III, all we got in return was endless suspicion and distrust.”
“Every time I walk down the street, I can feel the villagers’ disgust and isolation. Some people even publicly insult the Uchiha clan.”
"Perhaps being born into the Uchiha clan is our original sin."
Although Genba's words contained elements of brainwashing, they were indeed his heartfelt confession based on his experiences over the past year, and he believed Itachi would empathize with him.
Brainwashing doesn't require sweet talk.
Sincerity is the only surefire way to win!
Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Itachi realized the problem and fell silent, his heart heavy.
"Everything will be alright, don't think too much." Xuan Ye knew when to stop and patted Itachi's shoulder to comfort him.
There's still a long time to go.
You can slowly brainwash the weasel!
Ten minutes later, the two arrived.
As the residence of the Uchiha clan leader, although it was not luxurious, it was still much larger than Genyo's small courtyard, and the decoration and furniture arrangement were very stylish.
"Brother, brother!" Little Sasuke called out excitedly when he saw Itachi, and rushed out of the house, shouting "I want a hug!" At this time, Sasuke was only a little over a year old, a tiny, immature child.
"I'm here!" Itachi smiled brightly, picked up Sasuke, and gently stroked his forehead.
Only in front of Sasuke would Itachi completely let down his guard and reveal his most sincere side.
"Hello, little Sasuke," Gen Ye greeted Sasuke with a slight smile.
"Hello, big brother Xuanye!" Little Sasuke greeted Xuanye. Itachi was often busy with training, so Xuanye would often play with him, and thus they became close.
"The food is ready, come in and wash your hands and eat!" After the three of them played for a while, Mikoto's voice came from inside the house.
"Okay, Aunt Mikoto!"
Upon entering the house, Xuan Ye saw a young woman in her late thirties. She had a good figure, fair skin, and a dignified and beautiful appearance. She was wearing an apron and had a very friendly smile.
She is Mikoto Uchiha, the mother of Itachi and Sasuke.
"Sit down and eat," Fugaku said with a smile, already seated at the table. Though he was smiling, a hint of worry lingered in his eyes, suggesting he had something on his mind.
"Hmm." After taking his seat, Genye glanced at Fugaku, seemingly casually.
Fugaku was the head of the Uchiha clan.
He is also the captain of Konoha's police force.
He earned the title of "Fierce Eye" during the Third Shinobi World War.
Recently, conflicts have frequently occurred between Konoha and the Uchiha clan, and the rebellious sentiment among the radical faction within the clan has been rising. As the moderate clan leader, Fugaku has to appease his clansmen on one hand, and explain to the village's higher-ups on the other. He is caught in the middle and is in a difficult position, so he is often preoccupied with worries.
"Let's start eating," Fugaku said, glancing at everyone.
The table was laden with grilled fish, fried chicken, steak, eggs, and natto—a very generous spread.
"Eat more vegetables." Mikoto said gracefully, picking up a piece of steak for Genye, showing that he was a guest.
"Mother, I want one too." Little Sasuke said jealously, looking aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, here's a piece for you too!" Mikoto gently touched Sasuke's cheek and placed a piece of meat into his bowl.
He also slipped it to Itachi, who was preoccupied with his own thoughts.
The meal was quiet; no one spoke.
Genye was happy to have some free time and was busy eating.
He even snatched the food that Sasuke liked, making Itachi roll his eyes repeatedly.
How many days has this guy gone without eating?!
Fugaku took a sip of tea and spoke solemnly.
"Gen-ye, Itachi, you're going to the Ninja Academy tomorrow. Strive hard and make a difference so that we, the Uchiha, can thrive in the future."
At this point, a sense of sadness welled up in Fugaku's heart.
Under his leadership, the Uchiha clan gradually declined, and he felt he had let down the Uchiha's ancestors.
Genba and Itachi nodded repeatedly.
Genba and Itachi passed the Ninja Academy's entrance exam and became Ninja Academy students. They will begin formal classes tomorrow after the entrance ceremony.
After finishing the meal, Mikoto filled Genyo's extra-large food container to the brim. The food was untouched and very clean.
Xuan Ye has awakened the Immortal Body, which consumes a lot of energy. He will be able to finish all this food by tonight!
On the way back.
Genye was also thinking.
The Fugaku couple were incredibly kind to him.
He cannot remain indifferent and allow the night of annihilation to happen again.
This isn't like him!
He also has a system!
If he upgrades his Sage Body, Sharingan, and Wood Release, he will definitely have the power to change everything!
Set a small goal.
Help Fugaku to the best of your ability.
Set a big goal.
Become the strongest ninja in the world!
Chapter 3 Opening Ceremony
The next day, warm sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Genye's face.
"Get up!" Xuan Ye got up, stretched, and then opened his personal interface.
Chakra: 500.
Genba's current state.
One day.
Chakra can then be fully restored.
It's much faster than a regular ninja.
This is also the strength of the immortal body.
"450 chakra points are converted into Sage Body energy!"
"Energy value +450, Immortal Body Lv1 (459/10)."
Generally speaking.
A ninja will die when his chakra is depleted.
Kakashi died when he fought Pain (the Deva Path of Pain) because he ran out of chakra.
After several attempts, Genba proved that maintaining one-tenth of his chakra level would not affect him.
For example, he can now use 450 chakra points per day to upgrade his bloodline limit, leaving 50 points to maintain his body's functions.
Furthermore, he has 1500 points of reserve chakra in his body, which he can use immediately in case of an emergency.
If the reserve chakra is used up.
Each day, some chakra can be saved and allocated to the reserve chakra to ensure a sufficient supply of reserve chakra!
Currently, the bloodline with the highest upgrade priority is still the Immortal Body!
Secondly, there's the Sharingan and Wood Release.
Furthermore, Wood Release has the unique ability to absorb chakra and make it one's own!
However, because Genye is still very weak, he chose to proceed cautiously and use his own chakra to nourish his bloodline limit.
When Genba's strength reaches the Jonin level.
The chakra of enemies from other villages and wandering ninjas can be used to upgrade bloodline limits!
As for Jinchūriki, let's forget about that for now.
Although each Jinchuriki possesses abundant chakra, none of them are easy to deal with.
Wake up.
Genyo cooked breakfast and lunch boxes. Because they didn't have much savings, even though the Fugaku couple would occasionally help them out, they still had to be frugal.
Logically speaking, since his parents died fighting for the village, Genye should be entitled to receive the village's support allowance.
That was indeed the case at the beginning.
However, after the Nine-Tails' rampage last year, the situation changed drastically, and the amount of child support has been shrinking continuously, now only half of what it was initially.
It's not enough to cover a month's food expenses at all.
As a seasoned Naruto fan, Genba knew without a doubt that it was due to the Nine-Tails incident.
