Naruto: In Konoha Village, I awakened Wood Release at the start.

Province of Fire.

imperial capital.

The Senju clan's stronghold.

"Bang!"

A loud bang shattered the tranquility of the early morning.

A thick wooden stake shattered into pieces, and wood chips flew in all directions like projectiles.

"Didn't you eat?"

"With that little chakra, you can't even kill a chicken!"

Tsunade stood with her hands on her hips, her eyes wide with anger.

Her blonde hair danced wildly in the wind, and the veins on her forehead throbbed.

In the center of the training field.

A group of kids, barely ten years old, were trembling with fear.

One of the boys collapsed to the ground, clutching his swollen forehead, tears welling in his eyes.

"cry?"

"If you cry again, I'll throw you into the Death Forest to feed the snakes!"

Upon seeing this.

Tsunade took a step forward, and several spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the ground.

The boy was so frightened that he let out a loud hiccup, forcing back his tears.

He scrambled to his feet and quickly assumed a defensive stance.

"continue!"

"If we don't refine enough chakra today, nobody's going to eat!"

Tsunade gave the order.

Hundreds of children sat down cross-legged in unison, closed their eyes, and desperately gathered their chakra.

Looking at this group of brats, Tsunade couldn't help but mentally rant.

That damn brat Chiba!

He became the greatest emperor in the entire ninja world, and then dumped all this mess on her!

Three years.

Three whole years!

Since the establishment of the empire.

Chiba then ordered a search for the Senju clan's bloodline throughout the entire ninja world.

Those descendants who were arranged by the second grandfather to become nobles back then were all brought up.

When these kids first arrived, they were all spoiled and arrogant.

What kind of bullshit aristocratic etiquette is this?

What about being picky about food and being afraid of pain?

Tsunade didn't tolerate any bad behavior and immediately used her iron fists to punish him.

After a good beating, they all quieted down.

It is precisely because of this.

She, the number one female ninja in the ninja world and one of the legendary Sannin, has now become a full-time babysitter for a bunch of kids!

"This is fucking deadly..."

Tsunade rubbed her temples, muttering to herself.

But when her gaze swept over the older boys...

The irritation in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a look of relief.

The boy named Senju Osamu is only fifteen years old this year.

However, his chakra reserves have already firmly reached the Jonin level.

And the girl next to her, Senju Aoi.

He's a master of Water Release techniques; he'll definitely be a promising talent in the future.

Besides.

Several other children have already reached the Jonin level!

The Senju clan has truly come back to life.

If these children are carefully taught, they will undoubtedly become towering trees supporting the empire in the future.

"That kid Chiba has a really sharp eye."

……

On the other side of the capital.

Uchiha clan's residence.

The air was slightly distorted by the intense heat.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball hurtled forward like a falling meteor.

Flames rolled and heat waves were oppressive.

Sixteen-year-old Uchiha Sasuke was panting heavily.

His eyes were bloodshot, and three tomoe swirled wildly in his pupils.

"Too slow."

A calm voice came from above the sea of ​​fire.

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly looked up.

Uchiha Itachi, clad in a long black robe, stood in mid-air like a ghost.

His eyes had transformed into intricate windmill patterns.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan!

An overwhelming pressure of chakra descended.

Dark red Susanoo ribs appeared out of thin air, blocking all the remaining sparks.

"hateful!"

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth and quickly formed hand seals.

"Chidori!"

A deafening thunderclap echoed across the training ground.

Azure lightning enveloped Sasuke's right hand.

He suddenly exerted force with both legs, and the ground instantly collapsed, creating a large crater.

Uchiha Sasuke transformed into a streak of blue lightning, hurtling straight towards Uchiha Itachi in mid-air.

Uchiha Itachi's expression remained unchanged as the arm of his Susanoo instantly materialized.

A giant chakra palm slammed down.

"boom!"

Lightning and dark red chakra collided violently.

The wind howled, scattering sand and stones.

Sasuke was thrown backward by the enormous recoil, sliding more than ten meters on the ground before barely coming to a stop.

He clutched his numb right arm, staring intently at Itachi.

"I lost, brother."

Although Sasuke was unwilling, he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

Itachi Uchiha withdrew his Susanoo and landed lightly.

He walked up to Sasuke, extended two fingers, and gently touched his younger brother's forehead.

"Well done, Sasuke."

"Your three-tomoe jade pendants are already capable of displaying Kage-level power."

In the corridor.

Fugaku Uchiha sat upright in a wooden chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hands.

Looking at his two sons, Fugaku Uchiha was filled with pride.

Sasuke is only sixteen years old!

With just the three-tomoe Sharingan, he could withstand an ordinary Kage-level powerhouse.

This talent is extremely rare, even among all generations of the Uchiha clan.

As for Itachi...

Fugaku looked at his eldest son's kaleidoscope eyes and was filled with emotion.

A year ago, Itachi finally overcame that hurdle and awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Over the past three years.

Orochimaru has created the perfect potion.

By regularly applying the drops to the eyes, the vision damage caused by kaleidoscopes can be repaired.

It doesn't require the eyes of one's own brother.

There is no need to endure the fear of going blind.

The Uchiha clan has now completely risen up!

Then.

Fugaku Uchiha silently calculated in his mind.

He himself, Shisui, and Itachi all possess the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Sasuke, along with several elite ninjas from his clan, all possessed Kage-level strength.

The Uchiha clan now has nearly ten Kage-level shikigami!

What does this mean?

In the past, this force would have been enough to sweep away any major power.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi were still the Hokage, he'd probably be too scared to sleep.

But now?

His Majesty Chiba sat high on his throne, completely unconcerned about how strong the Uchiha clan was.

Because Chiba alone could easily crush the entire Uchiha clan.

This is the absolute confidence that comes with power.

The Empire gave the Uchiha clan fairness and dignity.

Fugaku took a sip of hot tea, his eyes filled with fervor and loyalty.

"For the Empire, for His Majesty."

"The Uchiha clan would gladly die for their cause."

……

Hyuga clan.

The crisp sound of the collision echoed continuously.

"Gentle Fist Technique: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

Hyuga Neji moved like lightning, his hands leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

Each strike was precisely aimed at the acupoints on the wooden stake.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The sturdy ironwood stake shattered into countless fragments in an instant.

Hyuga Neji withdrew his hands and exhaled a long breath of hot air.

The veins around his eyes bulged, and his piercing gaze was pushed to its limit.

"Neji-nii-san, you're amazing!"

Hinata Hyuga stood to the side and handed her a towel.

Her sixteen-year-old face had matured, showing less timidity and more confidence.

Hyuga Neji took the towel and bowed slightly.

"Thank you, Hinata-sama."

Not far away.

Hiashi Hyuga stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the two cousins.

He was filled with mixed emotions.

three years ago.

The ancestors who were resurrected through the Impure World Reappear in the human world.

The ancestor of the Hyuga clan sternly condemned the Caged Bird system.

Japan made up its mind at that time.

Abolish caged birds!

Abolish the distinction between the main family and the branch family!

This decision caused a huge uproar within the clan.

Several stubborn old elders even threatened to kill themselves.

However, Hiashi's attitude was firm, and he also had His Majesty Chiba backing him up.

The old fogies eventually had no choice but to compromise.

now.

Three years have passed.

As it turned out, this was an absolutely correct decision.
