It's normal to get a kaleidoscope as a first deposit of six yuan, right?

A masked person? A pretty young girl? But didn't Shisui say it was Uchiha Madara? Could Uchiha Madara be a woman? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

While Jiraiya and Hiruzen Sarutobi were still discussing whether the masked man was a man or a woman, the Anbu handed Hiruzen Sarutobi a list of total losses.

Seeing the initial financial loss of nearly 9 million ryo and the various other economic losses still being tallied, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a pang of anxiety. It seemed he would have to shamelessly ask the daimyo for money again. As for personnel losses, they also seemed considerable, though most were injured. The number of dead ninjas was less than 400, but that was enough to keep Konoha busy for a while.

……

While Konoha was still resting, the moon in the sky was obscured by thick cumulus clouds. In the darkness, Shisui sat on a branch of a large tree and saw a pair of scarlet eyes in the distance.

"The plan was a success, wasn't it?"

As Zhixue slowly approached, Zhishui nodded and said with a hint of helplessness, "This plan is crazy, but if we're talking about the results, I guess it is."

Seeing that Zhishui didn't seem very happy, Zhixue didn't say much, but she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

After all, she already had the blood of hundreds of her fellow village ninjas on her hands, far exceeding Shisui's predictions. But this was certainly better than the entire Uchiha clan dying, leaving only Sasuke. More importantly, he could live on unharmed…

Zhishui jumped down from the big tree and, seeing that Zhixue's expression was not quite right, placed his hand on her little face and rubbed it.

"But you are my lovely little sister, and speaking of which... I should thank you on behalf of the Uchiha clan. Don't feel guilty; I don't blame you. As long as you can live happily, that's all that matters. I will take the place of the victims of this incident and lead the future of Konoha Village in a better direction, and you will be the hero who protects the secret..."

The helplessness on Zhishui's face turned into a smile, which seemed to improve Zhixue's mood as well. Although she had transmigrated, she really liked this brother. It might be because of the original owner's memories or because of Zhishui's gentleness towards her. In any case, she could not let Zhishui die here.

In the hazy darkness, Zhixue and Zhishui stood atop the mountain peak, while in the distance lay Konoha, enveloped by a deep blue barrier.

"Have the Uchiha clan and Konoha reconciled now?" Shiyuki asked Shisui, feeling the cool breeze blowing from high above and tightening her robe.

Upon hearing Shisui's question, Shisui formed hand seals, and the crow clones that were far away in Konoha disappeared, allowing a series of memories to return to Shisui's mind.

After learning about the situation inside Konoha Village, Shisui breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the relationship between the Konoha ninjas and the Uchiha clan ninjas has improved considerably after an unprecedented period of cooperation. As long as no one stirs up trouble, there should be no problem," Shisui said, taking out a glass bottle filled with medicine from his pocket. This was something he planned to use to preserve his Sharingan.

He has one bottle here, and Itachi has a spare bottle, but they probably won't need it.

The power of Kotoamatsukami is too dangerous. Keeping it in Konoha will only arouse the fear and suspicion of others. Rather than that, it is better to send Shiyuki to reach a higher and wider sky.

He had seen the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan on the Six Paths Sage's stone tablet of the Uchiha clan. The Mangekyou Sharingan is a cursed eye; if its power is used too much, one will lose their sight forever. However, if one can combine it with the eyes of a loved one, one can generate eternal and indestructible ocular power and incomparably powerful divine strength.

*Ding!* Mission reward issued. Title obtained: "We Are Family" (Affinity +5, Charm +1), Illusion Mastery Lv.3. Hidden mission triggered, reward: Title: "The Shadow Looming Over Konoha's Heart" (Special ability: When fighting against Konoha ninjas, enemies will suffer a fear effect bonus; the greater the difference in strength, the more pronounced the effect.)

After receiving the reward, Zhishui seemed to notice a subtle change in Zhixue.

Why does Zhixue seem even prettier? Is it just my imagination?

……

Chapter 89, The Final Farewell

Shisui and Shisui stood facing each other, two Susanoo of similar color standing opposite each other, their spiral swords and cross spears deeply embedded in the ground.

Because the play had to be completed, Zhixue was preparing for a second showdown with Zhishui, which took place three and a half months later. However, this time Zhixue was no longer the little sister who had been easily fooled by the Phantom Instantaneous Movement Technique.

Shiyuki nodded at Shisui, who was already prepared in the distance, and then pulled the cross spear from the ground. Shisui also locked the spiral sword in Susanoo's hand.

Zhixue ran under the bright moonlight with Susanoo in her arms, and the huge spear she raised seemed to gleam with a cold light.

Shisui watched as Shisui thrust at him, gathering his chakra into the Spiral Sword. The air vibrations generated by its rapid rotation could be clearly felt even from 200 meters away, demonstrating the weapon's power.

The spear thrust out, but was blocked by the spiral sword. The two massive chakras clashed, and in the end, Shisui, relying on kinetic energy, prevailed. Shisui felt the wear and tear on the spear tip during the weapon clash and took a few steps back, relying on the attack range advantage of the long weapon to draw a silver arc.

Because Shisui was unable to change course due to his lack of strength, the spear slashed a gash in Susanoo's arm, but it was quickly replenished by Shisui's chakra.

“It’s coming…” In the crimson Sharingan, Shiyu watched as Shisui gradually gathered his chakra in his chest, and also condensed all his chakra in the gun, which emitted bursts of blue-green light.

Countless green arrows were launched, and Shisui, the target of the attack, spun her spear in coordination with her fire release technique, creating an impenetrable spinning wheel. The resulting fire hurricane even uprooted trees several meters tall, turning them into a beautiful sight in the air. Shisui's arrows were also shattered in the powerful fire storm.

Two colossal entities formed from chakra clashed and fought, with gales and flames converging here. The terrain within a radius of several kilometers was completely distorted, forming a unique area blocked by the aftershocks and flames of the battle. Even the special Jonin from Konoha dared not venture too far in, while the Hyuga clan members with Byakugan could only observe from the outside as the two massive chakra forces interacted, collided, twisted, broke, and regenerated...

Gradually, the battle subsided. When the Konoha ninja in charge of reconnaissance ran in, it seemed that because of the rising heat of the battlefield, cold raindrops fell from the night sky, extinguishing the flames of the battlefield and revealing a figure lying on the ground in the middle of the battlefield.

His eyes were tightly closed, and hot blood flowed down his face, mingling with his tears and disappearing into the cold, rainy night.

Uchiha Shisui won a pyrrhic victory, using Kotoamatsukami to control the mysterious masked man and force him to commit suicide. However, his Mangekyou Sharingan was also destroyed in the battle, at least that's the prevailing belief within the village. The Uchiha clan's genius withstood the masked man and the Nine-Tails, saving the future of Konoha. He is a hero to the Uchiha clan and all the residents of Konoha.

The next day, just as Konoha was recovering from its fear, Hiruzen Sarutobi held an awards ceremony to reassure the residents of Konoha.

Wearing the Hokage robes, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a gold medal engraved with the name of Konoha from a box carried by the Anbu, and with a kind expression, personally pinned this symbol of supreme honor to Shisui's chest.

The common people and members of various families watching from below the stage also burst into loud applause and cheers.

However, amidst this enthusiastic and exciting occasion, Sasuke, sitting in the audience, looked around the entire venue but couldn't find the person he was looking for.

Back in his seat, Sasuke tugged at Itachi's sleeve as he looked at Itachi beside him, who was beaming with joy.

"Nii-san, why wasn't Shiyuki-nee-san there for such a glorious moment for Shisui?"

When Itachi heard Sasuke's question, he smiled and poked Sasuke's forehead with his finger.

“I’m sorry, Sasuke, I can’t tell you some confidential things, but Shisui… to our Uchiha clan, she is a hero who is even more glorious than the outward Shisui.”

Sasuke scratched his head in confusion as he watched Itachi utter some nonsensical words.

Sister Zhixue is also a hero, but why wasn't she seen at the awards ceremony, or even present? It's a really puzzling answer.

……

While Konoha was still holding a grand award ceremony, Shiki and Obito were eating ramen at a noodle shop in the Land of Fire.

Watching Shiki, who had devoured over twenty bowls of ramen and whose belly was as flat as her chest, Obito fell into a state of contemplation about life.

Does she have a Sharingan inside her stomach, like Kamui's ability to access other dimensions? How can she eat so much?

After experiencing a series of battles, although about 80% of the parts of her body except for her eyes had been restored by the Nine-Tails' chakra, she was so hungry that she would eat tree bark. Naturally, she could eat a lot of food when she saw it.

*Thump!* Obito slammed a black wallet with a red cloud pattern onto the table, then snatched the last bowl of miso ramen from Shiyuki's hand.

"This money should be enough for you to eat quite a bit. The organization still has a lot of money. As for this bowl, it's mine." After saying those words, Obito took the ramen and went into the Kamui dimension to eat.

No one will be able to see what he looks like under the mask until the plan is completed!

After watching Obito leave, Zhixue looked at the thick wallet lying on the table, and her clear pupils seemed to be stained with the symbol of money.

Zhixue picked up the wallet and counted the money carefully.

"10...20...30...40, damn, a whole 40! It's so great that the Akatsuki organization doesn't have Kakuzu. They actually gave so much money all at once." Zhi Xue happily counted the silver in her wallet. These were all tools to become stronger. It seems that the Akatsuki organization was quite generous with its members' expenses before Kakuzu joined. At least Obito seemed to be very extravagant.

Ding! The host has triggered a special mission.

Mission Name: The Rain Country at Dawn.

Mission background: You are about to join the largest underground organization in the entire ninja world, but Orochimaru, who seems to have settled down in the organization, has recognized you and has become very interested in your body. He plans to use the despicable means of sneak attack to capture you and study you carefully.

Mission requirements: Use genjutsu to defeat Orochimaru and tell him that the power of the Uchiha clan cannot be desecrated.

Quest Reward: Increase Illusion Mastery to level 7, obtain the artifact—Kusanagi Sword.

The moment Zhixue saw the Kusanagi sword, her eyes lit up. She really needed a good sword right now. It was like a pillow delivered to her when she was sleepy. Orochimaru was truly a deliveryman on her path to growth. However, when it came to the Kusanagi sword, she seemed to have forgotten to give Sasuke the Thunder God Sword.

Chapter 90, Entering the Land of Rain

Not long after leaving Konoha with Obito, they entered the border area between Konoha and the Land of Rain.

Zhi Xue and Obito, both dressed in black robes, pushed the Konoha guards, who were under a genjutsu and looking dazed, against a tree.

Zhi Xue touched her eyes; the three tomoe had stopped spinning.

The effect of mastering illusion techniques is not bad. It is definitely not as good as my brother's or Itachi's, but it is enough to deal with ordinary ninjas.

“If we keep going, we’ll soon reach our destination. But everyone in the organization should be asleep by now, so let’s go and rest for a while. We can formally introduce you tomorrow,” Obito said to Shiki, glancing at the dim sky.

Zhi Xue nodded in response to Obito's words. Although she had eaten her fill, she still needed to rest and take a nice bath.

Using illusion techniques and Kamui in combination, they crossed the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain. Shiki and Obito temporarily stayed at a somewhat dilapidated inn. It was a bit far from Amegakure, and the inn was only three stories high. The interior was simple, but it had all the necessities.

It's understandable that there aren't any high-end places there, since the Land of Rain is located at the intersection of many countries, and the situation is complex and ever-changing. It's simply impossible for wealthy people to invest their money in this place.

Obito bought a set of room keys from the shopkeeper, tossed them to Shiki, and then turned and left.

Watching Obito leave, a bead of cold sweat dripped down Zhixue's forehead. Why didn't that guy buy a room? Did he usually live in the Kamui dimension? Luckily, Kakashi doesn't know how to use Kamui yet, otherwise he might throw some weird things in there at any time.

After getting the key, Zhixue found the corresponding room and went inside. After tidying up the small blanket on the bed, she went to a nearby shop to buy a simple ninja outfit and then went to the hotel's private bathroom.

As Zhixue reached for the rope tied around her waist, she suddenly remembered something very important.

"Hmm, I almost forgot about that." Zhi Xue looked at the bathtub in front of her and instead of taking off her clothes, she sat down and immersed herself in her inner space. She picked up the sleeping little nine-tailed fox and threw it into the virtual training field.

The little nine-tailed fox, woken up by the shove: ? ? ?

*Snap!* Zhi Xue slammed the door shut on the virtual training ground. This was something Zhi Xue did every time she went to the toilet or took a shower. She'd heard that tailed beasts could see the experiences of their jinchūriki in the sealed space. *cough cough*, what if they saw something inappropriate or unspeakable?

Kyuubi: So?

After resolving the Nine-Tailed Fox's problem, Zhi Xue returned to reality. After preparing the bathwater, she untied the ropes binding her clothes, allowing her now-dirty garments to slip off her shoulders, revealing her somewhat pale skin and youthful figure.

After stripping naked, Zhixue slowly immersed herself in the bathtub, picked up the shower gel, and soon the scene was filled with mist, with bubbles overflowing from the bathtub onto the ground.

Feeling the refreshing sensation of the water against her skin, Zhixue lay down on the edge of the bathtub, revealing a very comfortable expression.

This is life! Fighting is too tiring; enjoying life and taking it easy is the right way.

While Zhi Xue was still enjoying the comfortable feeling of taking a bath, she suddenly felt waves of pain in her body. This was probably a side effect of having her lifespan drained by the flame of that eye technique.

Zhi Xue felt a headache coming on when she thought about her two eye techniques. These two abilities were not weak, but the price required to activate them was not small. If she fused with her brother's Mangekyou Sharingan, it might greatly reduce the side effects, but there was also a chance that she would have to sacrifice one of them to obtain the power of Kotoamatsukami. She was a little reluctant to do so.

Ding! The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is perfectly fused with the latest gene overlap and arrangement technology, allowing you to retain up to four different eye techniques. It's now only 2400 million ryo.

Stop Snow: ...

This system shop really sells everything, but the items are a bit pricey. This perfect fusion is actually the same price as fusing Hashirama cells, but if the fusion ability is extraordinary, it's worth it.

Ding! This system is dedicated to enhancing the host's various abilities. The price is absolutely fair and impartial. It's just that the host is too lazy and doesn't focus on making money.

Upon hearing the system's voice, Zhi Xue's face darkened.

"You're supposed to be a 'slacking off system,' hey! You're not a pay-to-win system!"

Ding! From a common-sense perspective, there is no conflict between slacking off and spending money on in-game purchases.

After idly bickering with the system in the bathtub for a while, Zhi Xue put on a bath towel and came out of the bathroom. She looked at the cabinet next to her that was used to store clothes, and there was a long mirror on it.

In the long mirror, Zhi Xue's delicate body was draped with a clean bath towel, her fair legs were exposed, and a few drops of water that had not yet been dried slowly slid down from that mysterious area.

Nearly five minutes later, Zhixue, who had changed her clothes, returned to her room, lay comfortably on the soft bed, and quickly fell asleep, hugging the blanket.
