"so troublesome……"
Chapter 177 People from Outer Space
"Mother, I'm back."
Sasuke's residence is near the Uchiha Kagami residence and occupies a considerable area.
The housing prices here cannot be measured in monetary terms.
Shisui was sent to the Land of Earth to serve as the Iwakage, and some people were already speculating that this was in preparation for him to succeed as Hokage in the future.
Who will lead the extraordinary Uchiha clan?
Uchiha Kagami has appeared less and less in front of ordinary clan members, and the Uchiha clan's attitude towards him has changed from respecting the clan leader to something akin to worshipping a god.
Simply put, the Uchiha clan needs a day-to-day manager.
The roles now being played by Xuanhuo and Yunjian.
Although their strength surpasses that of all their clansmen, it is not to the point of complete domination.
The Xuanhuo, which has already activated its kaleidoscope, is even more criticized by its clansmen.
Let alone comparing him to Lord Mirror, Xuanhuo's Mangekyou Sharingan strength is, in their eyes, not even half as good as Shisui's.
You call this a kaleidoscope?
At most, it's a variant of the Three-Tomoe, and even if it's a bit stronger than us, it's still limited.
Xuanhuo had grievances but couldn't express them. This was a kaleidoscope certified by Lord Jing... even though it had an imperfect prefix.
This also made Xuanhuo realize his own mediocrity, and he began to devote himself to cultivating Sasuke.
It's not about ability, but about daily management.
It would be strange if a group didn't have factions.
Given that Kagami Uchiha was involved, the Uchiha clan naturally all belonged to Kagami's faction.
With him becoming less involved, the Uchiha clan split into the Shisui faction and the Sasuke faction.
The reason why Sasuke's faction was able to contend with Shisui's faction was because of the alliance between Xuanhuo and Yunjian, which led some Uchiha clan members to speculate that this was an implication from Lord Kagami.
The so-called factionalism is just a minor skirmish; it's just a matter of comparing whose performance looks better while drinking and chatting.
This kind of healthy competition, which doesn't harm the fundamentals, helps them release their energy, so no one cares.
"Brother Shisui!"
As soon as Sasuke Uchiha, the leader of the Sasuke faction, entered the room, he saw Shisui sitting on the sofa in the living room and greeted him warmly.
Shisui was flipping through a book with the cover titled "Productive Forces and Relations of Production, Composing the Mode of Production: On the Application of Ninja Productivity, Section 3," authored by Orochimaru and edited by Jiraiya.
Closing the book, Shisui turned around and smiled, "You're reading the third section now? Orochimaru's theories are quite profound."
"Yes, my understanding is still very basic."
Sasuke sat down and began to discuss the issue with Shisui.
Naruto, standing to the side, and Karin, perched on his shoulder, had glazed over, completely unable to understand what they were saying.
Although he had seen that book on his father's bookshelf before.
Suddenly, a girl with long, fiery red hair pounced on Sasuke and took a deep breath.
"Wow! What a strong smell of sweat! Sasuke's sweat smells so good!"
Sasuke grabbed Karin with one hand and flung her away.
It landed right on a fat cat that was eating, and the cat's flesh sank in.
"Ugh... Karin, what are you doing, meow?"
Hearing the noise, Mikoto peeked out from the kitchen and smiled serenely.
"Sasuke, the bathwater is ready. Go take a bath first."
"I understand, mother."
"Then, Brother Zhishui, please excuse me."
On a tree branch not far away.
A boy with two tear troughs watched this scene from afar through the window.
A smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
"Itachi-kun..."
Under the tree, a girl leaned against the trunk, looking at the boy with a hint of pity in her eyes.
"Actually... we could tell Sasuke the truth and sincerely beg Lord Kagami..."
Itachi Uchiha abruptly interrupted Izumi.
"I'm very satisfied."
"It's okay if I never leave here. As long as I can occasionally see my mother and Sasuke, and see them living happily, I'll be more than content..."
"Sasuke doesn't need to know about my father and me. To him, we are just a stain."
Itachi Uchiha rested his chin on one hand, smiling and narrowing his eyes: "If there's anything else I wish for, it's..."
"I hope to die as someone who is useful to Sasuke."
"What about me?"
The girl voiced the question that was on her mind.
The boy was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly: "Quan, you don't need to be fixated on someone like me. You can have a better future."
Uchiha Izumi didn't say anything more, leaning against the tree trunk and quietly watching him.
Changing the mind of an Uchiha is easier said than done.
On the ancient stone platform.
The following scenes are from the perspective of an ordinary person.
A colossal demon with crimson eyes and black hair uses a massive stone platform as its dining table.
Use sharp fingernails as knives and forks.
Dividing the stone platform, there was an ugly creature with ten tails.
The creature roared in terror, its tail flailing wildly like tentacles.
Dark black nails easily sliced him apart, and the viscous juice seemed to exude a rich aroma, causing the giant demon's long tongue to lick the sharp teeth at the corners of its mouth.
This dish was completely devoured by the demon.
The following is a real-world scenario.
The black spears pierced through the massive body of the Ten-Tails.
This was a small ten-tailed creature that had been hidden away.
Uchiha Kagami stood at the tip of a spear, and a massive amount of chakra surged into him.
Unlike Kaguya and the Sage of Six Paths, who implanted the Ten-Tails into their bodies to become Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
Uchiha Kagami absorbed the Ten-Tails as nourishment.
Plant the Divine Tree, absorb the natural energy of the ninja world, and harvest the Chakra Fruit?
That's something only ordinary Otsutsuki clan members would do.
I despise Uchiha Kagami of the Otsutsuki clan; how could he do such a thing?
The low-level collection steps can be left to others; what Uchiha Kagami wants to exploit is the higher levels.
Devouring the Ten-Tails was not a difficult task for Uchiha Kagami, and he had already learned the location of this alternate dimension from Isshiki's memories.
The reason we waited until now to take action is...
It's only because he has now fully mastered the power he gained after his advancement.
In more fantastical terms, it took him several years to stabilize his cultivation level.
You can't get fat in one bite; taking things one step at a time remains Uchiha Kagami's guiding principle.
When the roar of the Ten-Tails ceased in the alternate dimension, it suddenly fell silent.
Uchiha Kagami sat on the stone platform, as if he had eaten and needed to sit down to digest.
He looked up as if he had sensed something.
"We've been here for a while, but we still don't dare to get down..."
"You're such a coward. Are you waiting for your friends to arrive so you can act together?"
"Very cautious, Urashiki."
The outer reaches of space beyond the moon.
A crimson sun has been shining here for three years.
On a meteorite not far away.
With pale skin, light blue hair tied in a high ponytail, and a cold and stern face, Urashiki Otsutsuki gazed into the distance at the ninja world.
Occasionally, I would glance at the moon.
"Kaguya was sealed away, the Divine Tree was dismantled, the Uchiha's abnormal eyes, and the Rinnegan..."
"This place called the Ninja World is too strange."
"Let's wait until they arrive before we talk about it..."
He suddenly turned his head in surprise and looked at the crimson fireball.
Is it an illusion...
I feel someone watching me...
Chapter 178 Birthday Party
Sasuke, having just taken a shower, walked out wearing loose-fitting loungewear.
He skillfully reached out and placed a hand on Karin's face, only to see the two of them looking somewhat surprised.
"Hello, Fourth Hokage, Aunt Kushina."
Minato Namikaze, carrying a gift bag, smiled and said, "Happy birthday, Sasuke-kun."
Accepting the gift, Sasuke nodded politely and thanked him, "It's nothing, thank you for making the trip."
"Oh, Sasuke-kun is so polite~ Hmm, he's so strong. That brat Naruto is so skinny because he doesn't eat enough vegetables!"
Naruto, sitting on the sofa, turned his head and said with dissatisfaction, "Mom, what are you saying! I eat vegetables! And I'm already considered strong, Sasuke is practically a monster of muscle!"
"Shut up! Call me my dear mother, don't lead little Pear astray!"
Little Pear had no interest in her brother's and mother's fight; her eyes were fixed on Sasuke, who had just come out of the bath and whose hair was still sticky.
So handsome...so cool...so stylish...
Minato Namikaze picked up his daughter, noticing her unwavering gaze, and chuckled, "Do you really like Sasuke-nii-san? Do you want him to hold you for a bit?"
Just as Huali was about to nod, everyone's attention was drawn to the sound of the door opening.
Uchiha Kagami changed his shoes in the entryway and looked up at everyone.
"Is today a special day? Why are you all here?"
Naruto leaned back on the sofa and said, "Master, I only came because Shisui told me you were coming to Sasuke's birthday party today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wanted to celebrate that arrogant guy's birthday!"
Uchiha Kagami looked at Shisui.
Shisui scratched his head: "I thought you knew it was Sasuke's birthday today, which is why you specifically chose this day to tell me."
After changing into fluffy cat-shaped slippers, Uchiha Kagami said calmly, "I just wanted to talk to you and Sasuke about something. Since it's your birthday, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"Also, don't talk to me like I'm some missing person who has returned. Don't I come back every month?"
