Izuna, restore the glory of the Uchiha!

Since coming into this world, as a doctor who works tirelessly between the emergency room and the operating table, his threshold for facing life and death is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Furthermore, the arrogance of the Uchiha clan, coupled with their collective mentality, led him to an extreme level of indifference towards life.

This change is subtle and gradual, happening silently.

If you were to tell yourself, just three days after you opened your eyes, that only two days later, he would be reaping lives without batting an eye, even standing amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood with his hands covered in blood, chatting and laughing nonchalantly.

Izuna was certain that he would never have believed it at the time, and would have even found it absurd.

But killing someone is like having an affair.

While you're still struggling and hesitating, your body has already made its choice; by the time you come to your senses, everything has already settled down, and even the initial feeling of guilt has become blurred.

As an outstanding test-taker who has studied from elementary school to high school, his self-discipline is beyond question.

If it were simply a matter of restraining himself from killing indiscriminately or indiscriminately, that wouldn't be difficult for him to do.

But what truly sent chills down his spine was the bloodlust that unconsciously surfaced when he stood on the battlefield.

Is it a problem rooted in the Uchiha bloodline?

Izuna touched his nose. Could he really have some kind of mad dog gene, the kind that's beyond saving?

Moreover, the incompatibility and rejection between his soul and body behind his Mangekyou Sharingan, which he still cannot freely activate, also needs to be addressed.

As the list of tasks in her mind grew, Izuna instinctively reached for her pocket, wanting to find a pen to write them down, but all her fingertips touched was a cold kunai.

Wait... a glossary!

As soon as Izuna had a thought, the dictionary he had long put aside came into view.

He flipped through the pages featuring the characters and was pleasantly surprised to find that the second half of the book was not blank.

Like all note-taking software, it can automatically expand into new sheets of paper as his thoughts flow.

Just like a ready-made electronic memo.

While Izuna was still staring at the blank page in thought, the to-do list in his mind had already turned into words, as if traced by an invisible pen, clearly appearing line by line on the paper.

It's not just as if it was generated in accordance with his will, but rather as if this book of entries also encouraged him to write more.

It seemed the encyclopedia was urging him to do something.

Will there be any completion rewards?

What surprised him even more was that every time a line of tasks was completed, a small progress ring would automatically appear on the right side of the paper, with the current percentage of completion clearly marked next to it.

"Project schedule management functionality?"

Izuna raised an eyebrow. Although this cheat system looked rudimentary, the user experience was quite user-friendly.

As Izuna scribbled down his notes, he suddenly felt a moment of disorientation, as if he had returned to the time when he first joined the group.

Everything is new and wonderful, and everything is in need of rebuilding.

Let's take it one step at a time.

Now that we have a goal, let's start with the basics.

The first priority is to set up the laboratory.

……

The bumpy journey fueled his eagerness to return to his ancestral home.

The advance messenger ninja had already sent news of the great victory back to the clan.

When the main force finally arrived, the entire Uchiha clan territory was brightly decorated and bustling with activity. As soon as the convoy entered the village, it was met with an almost frenzied welcome from the clansmen, with cheers rising higher and higher.

The final destination of this trip was the Nanga Shrine, located deep within the clan's territory.

There, the treaty of defeat against the Senju clan will be finalized one by one.

However, they are not in a hurry at the moment.

Before heading home, it's important to wash away the dust and grime of the journey.

Madara and Izuna, as the rulers of this generation, naturally lived in the main residence, which was the most central part of the Uchiha clan's territory.

Although both are wooden structures, this house is indeed much more impressive than the houses of other tribes.

Returning to the room where he had first woken up after time travel, the life-and-death battles he had experienced over the past two weeks seemed like nothing more than a passing cloud.

At this moment, he finally got to enjoy the treatment he deserved as a young master of a wealthy family.

"This is life!"

Izuna was soaking in the private hot spring, the rising steam blurring his face.

He leaned lazily against the polished pool wall, a neatly folded towel resting on his head.

An exquisite wooden tray floated beside him, swaying gently with the ripples of water. He stretched out his wet fingers, picked up the white porcelain wine cup, and took a sip of warm sake.

The spiciness went down my throat, then turned into a warm current, dispelling the fatigue of the past few days.

That said, powerful clans are truly wealthy.

But these stubborn ninjas who only know how to fight and kill have no idea how to enjoy life.

On his way back, he overheard Ban discussing compensation with his advisor in charge of the clan's economy.

Madara's intention regarding the amount of compensation demanded from the Senju clan was clear: the focus was on damaging their prestige, while material compensation was secondary.

To everyone's surprise, the usually shrewd clerk, upon hearing this, seemed to have been nearly killed, and earnestly offered his advice:

"Chieftain! How can we let such a golden opportunity slip by? The Thousand Hands Clan owns tens of thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of farmers. A meager amount of compensation will not harm them at all!"

Only after Izuna listened carefully did he understand.

The "mere compensation" mentioned by this advisor turned out to be a full 500 million taels of circulating currency!

That's a full fifteen of Sarutobi Asuma's heads!

Let alone the current chaotic Warring States period, even if a well-established ninja village system were established in the future, it would be unlikely that a wealthy and powerful ninja village could easily come up with such a huge sum of money in a short period of time.

Although the Uchiha clan did indeed win a great victory this time, not only did they capture many Senju clan members, but they even managed to bring back the enemy's second-in-command, Tobirama Senju.

But if they're really asking for such an exorbitant amount of compensation...

This is practically pushing the Senju clan to their doom, cutting off their path to survival.

Fortunately, Ban knew his limits.

However, the fact that the advisor dared to raise this so boldly must have represented the opinions of several clan elders.

These old guys are greedy and stubborn; they're really not easy to deal with.

"Splash—"

The sound of water could be heard.

Izuna put the wine glass back on the tray, got up, and went ashore.

The loose yukata was casually draped over her body, her wet long hair clung to her back, water droplets sliding down the ends of her hair, across her delicate collarbone, and disappearing deep into the collar.

He walked to the edge of the corridor and looked at the cold, round moon in the courtyard.

The upcoming high-level meeting will likely be a tough battle without bloodshed.

We need to do more preparation.

A post-war reckoning meeting targeting the Senju clan was scheduled for five days later.

Izuna hasn't been idle these past few days either.

As he walked on the cobblestone path, many clansmen greeted him respectfully.

"Good day, Izuna-sama."

Good morning.

Izuna responded with a smile, his tone gentle.

This unusual attitude surprised many of the clansmen.

Lord Izuna... seems to be in an unusually good mood this time?

Izuna knew that the original owner of this body was taciturn and that maintaining a cool and aloof image might reduce a lot of social trouble.

If you want to systematically implement your plans within this intricately entrenched family, mere authority is not enough.

By appropriately displaying approachability, he can more easily win people's hearts.
