"Alright, Rope Tree, come home with me."

Tobirama Senju pulled away Nawaki, who had just been resurrected and was full of curiosity.

Tsunade watched her two loved ones leave with a touch of reluctance, then turned and threw herself into Genichi's arms under the tree: "Thank you!"

"We're family, no need to be so polite."

Genichi gently stroked Tsunade's back under the tree.

After a while, Genichi told Tsunade to go home first, and then he went to the quiet room again.

The puppet clone is already waiting here.

Genichi Shushita said, "Let's begin!"

The puppet clone immediately used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to resurrect Uchiha Namikaze.

"Xuan...Xuan Yi?"

After regaining consciousness, Uchiha Rinpo looked at Genichi under the tall tree and spoke with some uncertainty.

Shuxia Genichi laughed and said, "You don't recognize me anymore? That really hurts me."

Uchihachi looked at the person in front of him and said, "No, it's you who has changed too much. Even your chakra has changed."

Genichi Shushita said, "After all, so much time has passed. I am now the strongest ninja in the world!"

Uchihabo was shocked: "You...you're not kidding, are you?"

Shuxia Xuanyi laughed: "Of course!"

"You guy..."

Uchihachi was helpless.

Genichi Shushita's smile faded: "Alright, the reminiscing is over for now. Next, I'm going to truly resurrect you!"

Uchihachi opened his Sharingan and looked at his body: "This body doesn't seem to have real flesh and blood?"

Genichi Shushita explained, "This is the Impure World Reincarnation technique, not a true resurrection."

"Next, I will use the Rinnegan to perform a dojutsu and completely revive you."

Uchihachi was shocked: "Rinnegan, the Rinnegan of the three great dojutsu, Genichi, you actually awakened it?"

Shuxia Xuanyi said, "This is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later!"

"However, after your resurrection, you will be blind. I will need to transplant your eyes. Please be prepared."

Uchihachi nodded: "I understand, you... wait!"

Stopping Genichi Kinoshita, Uchiha Namikaze stared at him and said, "The technique to resurrect the dead must come at a great cost, right?"

“Xuan Yi, actually, this state isn’t bad.”

Genichi felt a warm glow in his heart, then teased, "Hey, in your eyes, do I look like such an irrational person?"

"I am now responsible for the safety of the ninja world, I will not take any risks."

"He was the one who used the Reincarnation and Rebirth Technique. It was just one of my puppet clones. Even if it cost me my life, it would only be the puppet clone's life."

Uchihachi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's begin!"

Xuan nodded under the tree, and his puppet clone immediately formed a hand seal.

Heretical teachings, the art of reincarnation and rebirth!
Genichi under the tree became more and more proficient at using this technique.

Uchihachi was resurrected, while the puppet clone died, but the primordial spirit clone carried the memories back to Genichi under the tree.

The three resurrections in a row gave Genichi Shushita many insights into the Yin-Yang Escape Technique.

Reviving a person is actually similar to the Sage of Six Paths creating tailed beasts with the Ten-Tails' chakra.

Yes, although the Samsara Rebirth Technique belongs to the category of eye techniques, it is also a Yin-Yang Escape Technique.

The Rinnegan itself is a bloodline limit that combines powerful Yang Release and powerful Yin Release.

……

After taking the Rinnegan from the dead puppet clone, Genichi Shushita led Uchiha Boichi to a laboratory and replaced it with a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan with relatively powerful eye power.

It wasn't that Genichi was reluctant to part with those Rinnegan eyes he had just acquired.

These Rinnegan eyes, belonging to Madara Uchiha from the future, possess immense power that Madara Uchiha could not possibly withstand.

As for the Mangekyou Sharingan, it's not too late to try to activate it after Uchiha Ryougi has adapted to his new eyes.

It was past 9 p.m. when we came out of the experimental base, and the bustling Konoha gradually quieted down.

Uchiha Rinne leaped onto the rooftop and gazed at the twinkling lights of Konoha, feeling deeply moved.

A moment later, he turned to Xuan Yi under the tree and asked, "Xuan Yi, it seems you haven't used my eye."

Genichi chuckled: "It seems you're not quite proficient in using the Sharingan!"

Uchihachi was puzzled and activated his three-tomoe Sharingan to examine Genichi's eyes: "Your eyes... do not indeed contain my chakra."

A crack appeared in the middle of his forehead, revealing his six-tomoe blue Rinnegan. Under the tree, Genichi boasted, "Here it is!"

Uchihachi's eyes widened: "What...what is this?"

"And it doesn't have my chakra either."

Genichi Shushita: "The Six-Tomoe Rinnegan can be understood as a combination of the Rinnegan and the Sharingan."

"The reason I don't have your chakra is because this eye has already been assimilated by me."

"I have completely absorbed that part of your chakra."

"Because I successively awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan."

Uchihachi was speechless, his brain completely blank.

The amount of information is too large.

Genichi Kishita was very satisfied with Uchiha Namikaze's reaction and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go home and see Aunt Mizuki!"

Back home, seeing Uchiha Mizumi embracing her son and weeping with joy, Genichi Kishita felt that this was also the meaning of training.

That night, Uchiha Mizumi and her son Uchiha Naraka returned to their home.

After putting the three children to sleep, Genichi handed in four more portions of grain tax before embracing Tsunade and talking about his experiences on Turtle Island that day.

"Combining the Rinnegan's abilities with the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Tsunade asked, "So, through the Edo Tensei, Madara Uchiha can also use the abilities of the Rinnegan and Sharingan?"

Xuan Yi under the tree nodded slightly: "Not bad."

"I've thought about this carefully, and it's not really that difficult to do."

"But that's not the key point. What I suddenly realized is that Madara Uchiha's strength has increased not only through the Ten-Tails."

Tsunade said, "That's normal, after all, Madara Uchiha was very talented."

"So, you don't want to wait that long?"

Genichi Kishita nodded and then said, "That's indeed an idea."

"However, plans can't keep up with changes, so let's be flexible."

"If I sense any threat from Uchiha Madara, I will eliminate him immediately."

Tsunade nodded, then asked, "So, what do you plan to do about the likely manipulator?"

Shuxia Genichi laughed and said, "Use clones, plus the human puppet reincarnation technique."

He already has a backup plan.

The next day.

Uchiha Mizumi came to the Kinoshita Genichi family's house early in the morning, and Uchiha Namikazu also came along to freeload breakfast.

After hugging the three children in turn, Uchiha Boichi couldn't help but exclaim, "You actually have three children already!"

Looking at Tsunade, the Fourth Hokage, and Pakura, the Fifth Kazekage, Uchiha Ichiro felt nothing but envy, jealousy, and hatred.

This food is so delicious!
"Don't be envious, keep it up, and have more children in a few years."

Genichi Shushita spoke with a smug expression.

After breakfast, Genichi Kishita took Uchiha Ryouichi out.

As for Yekura, he no longer needs to take her to work in Sunagakure; she can simply use the teleportation platform.

On the other side, Naruto woke up in the morning as usual, full of energy, which put Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki at ease.

At the Fugaku Uchiha residence, Sasuke Uchiha showed no signs of distress. After breakfast, Itachi Uchiha carried him to preschool.

Genichi Shushita and Uchiha Ryouichi secretly observed the two little ones, and only felt relieved after confirming that the Rinnegan was stable.

"Langyi, I'm leaving."

"Good luck finding a girlfriend!"

With a wave of his hand, Genichi smiled and left from under the tree.

Uchihachi's lips twitched: "This guy is still the same as before."

After standing there in contemplation for a moment, Uchiha Rinko set off to report to the security department.

This was arranged by the fifth generation Minato Namikaze.

Uchiha Ichiro's appearance shocked the entire security force, especially the Uchiha clan ninjas.

Although there were already Tobirama Senju and Madara Uchiha resurrected before, the appearance of Naruto Uchiha still brought enough shock, and Fugaku Uchiha was no exception.

He did not know beforehand that Genichi Kishita had resurrected Uchiha Nagato, and that it was not through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

He knew that reviving someone with the Rinnegan required paying the price of one's life.

"Lang Yi's position in Xuan Yi Jun's heart far exceeds my expectations!"

Fugaku Uchiha was secretly alarmed, and immediately made up his mind: to vigorously cultivate Uchiha Naruto.

……

At Gen's house, Nawaki was happily teasing his three nephews, especially Chiki, who looked the most like him, and he wouldn't let go of him.

The three children accepted everything without hesitation, their hands grabbing at ears, noses, and hair.

"Sister, should I join a new ninja squad?"

"And what about Orochimaru-sensei?"

Rope Tree, holding Little Thousand Tree, asked.

Tsunade said, "Orochimaru was killed by Madara Uchiha."

"As for the ninja squad, you should go back to the ninja academy and continue your studies!"

Nawaki was dumbfounded: "Orochimaru-sensei is dead?"

"Wait, even so, I don't need to go back to school, right?"

"I've already graduated. Going back would be... way too much, wouldn't it?"

Shizune smiled and explained, "It's not the original ninja academy; it's an experimental class set up within Root..."

After Shizune gave her an explanation, Nawaki put down his little nephew and awkwardly pleaded with Tsunade, "Um, I'm already a full-fledged ninja, it wouldn't be good for me to go back now, would it?"

Tsunade curled her lip, unmoved: "With your strength, you'd be at the bottom even in the experimental class."

Rope Tree's eyes widened in disbelief: "Sister, are you lying to me?"

How could he, a dignified elite genin who had already graduated and even seen battles, be inferior to a brat who hadn't even graduated yet?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Tsunade glanced at her younger brother and said calmly, "If you can get first place in the experimental class, I will let you become a genin again and teach you the Wood Release technique."

Nawaki exclaimed in surprise: "Wood Release secret technique?"

"Sister, you've mastered Wood Release?"

Tsunade raised her chin, her expression unfriendly, and said, "Is that so strange?"

Do you think I can't handle it?

Nawaki shook his head repeatedly and chuckled, "Of course not. My sister is the Fourth Hokage, the most powerful female ninja in the ninja world."

My sister has become so unkind. Oh, my brother-in-law is so pitiful.

Nawaki sighed inwardly, and had no choice but to take the pancake that Tsunade had given him and follow Shizune to the experimental class.

Upon arriving at the root base, Shizune handed the rope tree to the person in charge, Ryoma Aburame.

When Aburame Ryoma learned of Nawaki's identity, his pupils constricted sharply, and he was shocked.

It wasn't because he was the Fourth Hokage's younger brother, but because he was resurrected!
"Go, Rope Tree!"

She clenched her fist and smiled encouragingly.

"Thank you, Sister Shizune!"

Rope Tree waves.

After Shizune left, Nawaki asked familiarly, "Ryoma-senpai, are all the students in the experimental class very strong?"

Aburame Ryoma said, "The students in the experimental class all graduated from the Ninja Academy before entering, so they at least have the foundation of a Genin."

"However, in the past few months, the students have made great progress in the special training in the experimental class. Currently, each student has mastered at least one property change."

"He has mastered at least one C-rank ninjutsu."

"The most outstanding students in the first class were Uchiha Itachi and Hozuki Mangetsu."

Nawaki exclaimed in surprise, "Hozuki Mangetsu? That's someone from Kirigakure. What are they doing here?"

Ryoma Aburame didn't explain: "You'll find out later. Right now, it's the basic practical lesson. I'll take you there. Come with me!"

Nawaki nodded and quickly followed Aburame Ryoma out of the Root Base. After passing through several forests, Nawaki suddenly saw a huge arena.

The walls were high, below which were tiered stands, and then a spacious battleground.

Standing on the wall, Nawaki saw the teachers and students below gathered in a circle, conducting a practical training course similar to that of the ninja academy.

The two leaped down the high wall, and Aburame Ryoma said, "Actually, this should be called a ninjutsu combat lesson, which of course also includes genjutsu."

"The main focus is on the practical application of ninjutsu and genjutsu."

As the two approached the battlefield, a battle just ended, and Nawaki heard the teacher call out to the next group: "Uchiha Itachi, against Hozuki Mangetsu."

Rope Tree's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and then he saw two people, one tall and one short, walk to the center of the battlefield.

He instantly recognized the shorter one as Itachi Uchiha and the other as Mangetsu Hozuki from Kirigakure.

"The Uchiha clan is skilled in fire release and genjutsu. As for the Hozuki clan, I remember Orochimaru-sensei saying that this clan has a water transformation technique and is skilled in water release, and their genjutsu seems to be quite good as well."

"This should be a great match."

Rope Tree was somewhat excited, even eager to try.

Ryoma Aburame glanced at Nawaki, then whispered a reminder: "This Hozuki Mangetsu is a young genius from Kirigakure. He's ten years old this year, but he graduated early at eight and obtained one of Kirigakure's ninja swords."

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were all Jonin, but they were all wiped out by Genichi and Dai during the last Shinobi World War."

"Currently, Samehada, one of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, is in the hands of Genichi. I heard that the village intends to return the sword to Kirigakure and rebuild the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure."

Under the guidance of Uchiha Shisui, Itachi Uchiha and Hozuki Mangetsu had completed their opposing seals. Nawaki watched them closely and asked in a low voice, "Ryuma-senpai, what about Itachi Uchiha?"

Aburame Ryoma said, "Uchiha Itachi was the eldest son of Fugaku, the head of the Fugaku clan, and a genius. He received guidance from Genichi and developed a new bloodline limit eye technique when he was eight years old."

Nawaki's eyes widened in surprise: "Developed a bloodline limit at the age of eight?"

Ryoma Aburame nodded without saying anything more, because the battle in the arena had already begun.

Nawaki became even more eager and attentive to this battle, and he began to have doubts about what his sister Tsunade had said before.

In the arena, at Shisui Uchiha's command, Itachi Uchiha and Mangetsu Hozuki attacked simultaneously.

Both of them used shuriken as a preliminary move to probe each other.

However, when it comes to throwing shuriken, Itachi Uchiha is far superior. With the clanging sound of shuriken rang out, Nawaki saw that Hozuki Mangetsu's shuriken were not only blocked by the Uchiha's shuriken, but also changed direction through the collision and shot back towards Hozuki Mangetsu.

"As expected of the Uchiha!"

Nawaki secretly praised him, and then saw Hozuki Mangetsu retreat while throwing shuriken again, deflecting all the incoming shuriken. He then quickly formed hand seals.

But at this moment, Itachi Uchiha had already completed the hand seals, and opened his mouth to unleash a huge fireball, which scorched and cracked the earth wherever it passed.

"That's too late……"

Just as Nawaki was thinking this, he saw Hozuki Mangetsu open his mouth and spew out a jet of water that formed a towering column that blocked Uchiha Itachi's Fireball Jutsu.

Before the mist obscured their vision, Nawaki noticed that Hozuki Mangetsu's hand seals were still in place: "Amazing!"

Sure enough, the water vapor was quickly torn apart, and Rope Tree saw a water dragon soar into the sky.

Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
The water dragon swooped down, creating a surge of steam.

Rope Tree moved his gaze and saw the flames sweeping up and colliding with the water dragon. With a roar, water vapor churned and poured down in all directions, completely obstructing his vision.

"Damn it, I can't see it anymore!"

Nawaki was getting a little anxious; he couldn't sense ninjutsu.

Despite the water vapor, Itachi Uchiha's vision was not obstructed at all, because he had activated his Fiery Eyes.

Water surged up from beneath his feet, coiled around Itachi Uchiha's body, and then transformed into Hozuki Mangetsu.

Hozuki Mangetsu locked Uchiha Itachi in a single hand lock, and the powerful force caused Uchiha Itachi's body to collapse, turning into water droplets.

"Water body!"

Hozuki Mangetsu was slightly startled.

This wasn't the first time he had fought against Itachi Uchiha. In previous encounters, Itachi hadn't displayed his Water Release abilities, so it was unexpected that he had already mastered the second nature transformation.

No, to be precise, it's the third type.

Hozuki Mangetsu was highly focused, his gaze shifting as he paid attention to the movements around him.

But it was not attacked.

As the moisture gradually dissipated, Hozuki Mangetsu saw that there were seven or eight Uchiha Itachi surrounding him on the water's surface.

Nawaki was finally able to see the situation clearly and secretly analyzed, "Shadow clones? No, so many shadow clones would be too wasteful of chakra."

"It's not an ordinary clone, so it must be an illusion."

"But which one is the original?"

Rope Tree examined it carefully, but couldn't make a direct judgment immediately.

He couldn't identify the full moon on the water's surface either, but like Nawaki, he immediately judged that these were illusion clones, with the real body hidden among them or concealed elsewhere.

clap clap clap!
Hozuki Mangetsu stepped forward to meet the attack, and many Uchiha Itachi rushed forward to surround him.

Having just clashed with him, Hozuki Mangetsu was terrified.

Because what he judged to be an illusion clone actually had a physical presence.

The many instructors watching from outside were also quite surprised. Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but think to herself, "This isn't just a simple illusion clone, but... Xuan Yi's Mirror Flower Water Moon?"

"But it's not a bloodline limit."

Kurenai Yuhi pondered for a moment, and then she saw Uchiha Itachi being blown apart by Hozuki Mangetsu, turning into water and splashing everywhere.

"It really is a mirage, but it's a little different from Xuan Yi's water-based illusion technique."

"As expected of a genius who was able to develop a bloodline limit at such a young age, he actually developed a water-style genjutsu that is more suitable for himself based on Xuan Yi's technique."

Kurenai Yuhi secretly marveled.

Nawaki looked on in shock: "A water-style clone?"

"wrong……"

"Something seems off about Hozuki Mangetsu."

Nawaki observed that Hozuki Mangetsu's attacks became chaotic after he destroyed Uchiha Itachi's clone, and his attacks frequently missed.

Moreover, he could also see that although Itachi Uchiha's attacks were real, they seemed very weak.

Nawaki couldn't help but wonder, "Is it because we held back during a friendly spar, or is it a matter of technique?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Hozuki Mangetsu, who was practically running around in circles and had lost his offensive rhythm, and couldn't help but smile to himself: "Itachi, well done!"

"However, don't underestimate your opponent!"

A moment later, Hozuki Mangetsu stood on the water, panting: "These clones are physical entities, but their attack power is very weak. However, they must have genjutsu abilities, which affected my judgment."

"It makes it impossible for me to find his true form."

"In that case, you can make the attack."

Taking a deep breath and steadying himself, Hozuki Mangetsu said, "Itachi, I have already seen through your genjutsu."

Uchiha Itachi did not respond, but instead joined the attack.

Hozuki Mangetsu stood still, allowing Itachi Uchiha to attack him one by one, his attacked parts exploding into water droplets.

After being hit, Hozuki Mangetsu retaliated, defeating Uchiha Itachi one by one.

"Got you!"

Suddenly, Hozuki Mangetsu revealed a smile, his arm transformed into a stream of water, wrapping around the arm of Uchiha Itachi who was attacking him, then pulled hard and followed up with a punch.

boom!
The water surface exploded, and Itachi Uchiha was slammed into the bottom of the water.

However, Hozuki Mangetsu's expression changed.

Because Itachi Uchiha collapsed and turned into water after crashing into the bottom of the water.

Itachi Uchiha's voice rang out: "You judged whether it was a clone or the real body by my power, didn't you?"

Hozuki Mangetsu straightened up and looked at the remaining few Uchiha Itachi: "You really are the most troublesome one, trying to confuse me by controlling your strength."

Damn it, I'm really exhausted.

The Water Transformation Technique also consumes chakra.

Is your true form really inside?

Hozuki probes with full moon.

One of the Uchiha Itachi said, "You'll find out if you admit defeat."

Hozuki Mangetsu gave a soft hum and said nothing more.

Another Uchiha Itachi said, "Your stamina is probably running low."

Hozuki Mangetsu retorted, not to be outdone: "Your chakra is almost depleted too, isn't it?"

"These physical clones consume less energy than water clones, but there are more of them than with regular clone techniques and illusion clones, right?"

……

The instructors watching the game were also discussing it in hushed tones.

"Until I master Lightning Release, it seems the only way to win is by exhausting my chakra."

"Hozuki Mangetsu is a year older and has even more energy!"

"But the consumption is also greater, it seems that Itachi Uchiha will win this time."

As Rope Tree watched the two continuing their fight in the arena, he couldn't help but think to himself, "These two guys are really formidable. Although they're younger than me, I'm afraid I'm no match for them."

After thinking for a moment, he turned to Aburame Ryoma and asked, "Senior, who do you think will win?"

Ryoma Aburame, watching the battle unfold, exclaimed, "Itachi Uchiha!"

"Although he is younger, his physical strength may not be worse than Hozuki Mangetsu's."

"Moreover, even I couldn't determine which one was his true form."

Sure enough, two minutes later, Hozuki Mangetsu's stamina was exhausted.

Uchiha Itachi was also reduced to only one.

With Hozuki Mangetsu unable to fight any longer, Uchiha Itachi also turned into water and fell to the ground.

Not far away, Itachi Uchiha emerged from the water.

Nawaki was taken aback: "They're all clones, this guy is really... cautious!"
