Melee type, huh? Nadeshiko Saori quickly forms hand seals.

Nadeshiko Secret Technique: A Hundred Flowers in Full Bloom!

Whoosh! In an instant, she scattered into countless petals.

"Heh heh, you stinking female, all that fancy stuff!" Amamiya Shinhime cursed angrily, and was about to form hand seals.

Lin Yu was speechless: That's why I don't like harem anime. A bunch of women chasing after you, it's chaotic and a waste of precious time...

"You two, that's enough..." Lin Yu finally stopped this farce.

As a result, Tianyu Pavilion gained two more guests.

Nadeshiko Saori serves as the secretary of the Hidden Village. As for Amamiya Shinhime, no matter what, she has the White Snake Sage behind her, so she can just be treated like a goddess and fed well.

In the evening, in his room, Lin Yu looked at the calendar and murmured, "October 7th, three days later... is that Naruto's birthday?"

"Master, please guide my cultivation." Xi Yan, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, came to the door.

"Okay, wait under the waterfall. I'll be there in a bit." Lin Yu put on the mask, flicked his robes, and strode out. "These are turbulent times, but right now, I'm not afraid at all..."

Chapter 134 Heading into the Darkness! (5/5)

Beneath the great waterfall, after more than half a year, Yu and Xiyan, the master and disciple, faced each other once again.

Lin Yu said, "Xi Yan, I heard from your sister that your strength has been increasing recently."

Xi Yan said, "Ah, thanks to the scroll you left behind, Master, I have mastered many techniques..."

“If it were someone else, they might not even be able to learn a few decent techniques even if they got the scroll,” Lin Yu said.

Yugao remained noncommittal. She knew that she was able to master those techniques so quickly thanks to the Sharingan that Lin Yu had given her, as well as... the A-rank Lightning Release technique Chidori that Lin Yu had introduced her to early on, which allowed her to use techniques of similar or lower difficulty at will.

"Then let me see the results of your cultivation." Lin Yu composed himself, raised two fingers in front of his chest, and formed a contrasting mudra.

Xiyan also raised her slender fingers, forming a contrasting seal.

*Whoosh!* Her left eye transformed into a three-tomoe star, and she drew her ninja sword from behind her. Her figure split into three, charging from three directions...

Lin Yu was slightly surprised: "Oh? This is... an A-rank swordsmanship technique, Konoha Style: Dance of the Crescent Moon!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Xiyan's sword-drawing posture was beautiful, with three crescent-shaped blade beams intersecting from three sides, leaving no room for dodging!

Whoosh! Lin Yu completed the hand seals at an unbelievable speed and unleashed a B-rank water escape technique.

Water Release: Water Fang Bullet!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three spiraling water columns shot up, directly scattering Xiyan's two sword technique clones. However, her main body reacted quickly, first using the blade to block the water flow and then using the force to flip backward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! After landing, she did several graceful backflips, completely offsetting the force of the water column, and gently stepped onto the water's surface. She thought to herself: "Master's hand seals are so fast, so fast that even my Sharingan can't fully capture them. I can only tell from a vague impression that he used a Water Release technique..."

Lin Yu looked at Xi Yan, who had fallen into the distance, and smiled, "Very good movements, not a single unnecessary move. You have really improved..."

Whoosh! Yugao tossed her ninja sword into the air, her small hands quickly forming hand seals.

Lightning Release: Lightning Dog!

The lightning in Xi Yan's hand transformed into the shape of a dog, which then extended and pounced on Lin Yu, emitting a canine-like roar.

“Lightning Release: Form Change, Ranged Attack, but…” Lin Yu reached out and directly grabbed the Thunder Dog by the throat.

Seeing this, Xi Yan smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and held two fingers upright in front of her chest.

"Awooo!" Suddenly, the Thunder Dog, which Lin Yu was holding, opened its mouth, revealing a 'Thunder Bead' in its mouth!

"Huh? There are other changes incorporated as well?" Lin Yu asked in surprise.

Boom! The lightning orb exploded, its light dazzling...

Crack! Xi Yan caught the falling sword hilt, activated the 'Body Flicker Technique,' and flashed behind Lin Yu with a whoosh. The lightning-wrapped blade slashed towards Lin Yu's back...

Lin Yu's body suddenly leaned forward...

Whoosh! The strike missed.

"What!?" Xi Yan exclaimed in disbelief.

Lin Yu reached back and accurately clamped Xi Yan's wrist. He opened his eyes and said, "Well done. You've already figured out your opponent's intentions. Based on your understanding of me, you predicted that I would use my hand to catch your Thunder Hound, which would inevitably materialize it. Then you used an unexpected move to seal my Sharingan, and finished it off with a Swift Lightning Slash using Body Flicker Technique. A three-stage attack, that really surprised me..."

Yugao asked in confusion, "Your Sharingan is sealed, so how can you still control my movements?"

"The methods ninjas use to capture their opponents are far more than just sight, hearing, smell, and even taste; there are countless methods..."

As he spoke, Lin Yu looked at Xi Yan seriously: "Listen to Xi Yan, having the Sharingan as a bloodline limit means you have to consider that your opponents will devise tactics to target your eyes. If you blindly rely on the Sharingan, this most reliable eye will become your weakness and could take your life at any time."

After saying that, Lin Yu released his hand: "Tonight's cultivation ends here. Go back and think carefully about what I said..."

Tap, tap, Lin Yu turned around and walked away across the water.

As Xi Yan gazed at Lin Yu's retreating figure, a feeling of admiration welled up within her: Is this the man who made my sister fall for him, my master...? He's so powerful.

She immediately gripped her ninja sword tightly: "But I will definitely kill you, one day!"

At this very night, near the border of the Land of Fire, a small figure was walking through the darkness. In the bundle on his chest, a tiny baby boy was sleeping soundly.

That was Uchiha Itachi, who was 6 years old at the time!

At the age when he should have been attending the ninja academy, he was forced to leave his hometown with his newborn younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke!

Because... his father, Fugaku Uchiha, has decided to launch a rebellion in Konoha!

No one knew what the final outcome would be, and all Fugaku could do was send his two young sons away.

He instructed Itachi to take Sasuke away and hide at the Cat Granny, the owner of the Uchiha clan's weapon shop.

But Itachi... had his own ideas.

He's going to take Sasuke to the Hidden Shadow Village!

Itachi's eyes held a maturity far beyond his years: "Ever since Orochimaru came to me, Danzo hasn't targeted Sasuke. Uchiha Yu, he must be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"Moreover, my chakra level has increased many times in such a short time, which must be related to what Orochimaru injected me with. Uchiha Yu needs me to achieve some goal. No matter where I take Sasuke, he will definitely find me. It's better to go directly to his side and take the initiative."

"Most importantly, he won't hurt Sasuke right now..."

Tap, Itachi stopped walking.

*Zzzzt!* The three-tomoe Sharingan appeared in the pupil.

With a flick of his wrist, he threw the knife into the distant bushes.

"Damn it!" The person hiding there narrowed his eyes, knocked the kunai down with his sword, and cursed under his breath.

Just as he was about to rush out and finish off his target... he found that the target was already in front of him, the three-tomoe jade pendant, cold and calm, staring straight at him. He wanted to close his eyes, but it was too late!

Thump! With a thunderous heartbeat, his eyes went unfocused for a moment.

Swish! The kunai in Itachi's hand cleanly and swiftly sliced ​​through his throat.

"Damn it, Uchiha..." Thump! He collapsed to the ground, dying in despair.

"Waaaa! Waaaaa!" A sob came from the bundle in front of Itachi.

Itachi gripped the blood-stained kunai, lowered his head, and his eyes softened instantly: "Did I wake you, Sasuke? I'm sorry..."

With Itachi's comforting words, Sasuke drifted off to sleep again.

Standing at the border of the Land of Fire, Itachi looked back at the land behind him with complicated emotions. He knew that once he left, he didn't know when he would be able to return.

"Dad, Mom, and Shisui, I hope we can meet again someday..."

Whoosh, a gust of wind blew his bangs across his forehead, he turned around and stepped out of the border of the Land of Fire.

Itachi didn't look back, and continued walking into the darkness with his beloved younger brother...

Chapter 135 An Unforeseen Future! (1/5)

On the eve of Naruto's birth, Lin Yu finished instructing Yugao on her training and was about to rest when Hozuki Mangetsu delivered a bombshell message to him!

"Lord Shadow, the boy who calls himself Uchiha Itachi has come to the village entrance with his younger brother, wanting to see you..."

Full Moon should have executed any suspicious persons as before, and it was even less likely that he would have come to report, but when he looked at the way the boy looked at his younger brother, he was deeply moved.

This news was indeed beyond Lin Yu's expectations: Itachi, I once thought I had seen through him, but he has surprised me time and time again...

"Let's go see him."

Lin Yu arrived at the village entrance and saw Itachi.

His clothes were tattered and he was covered in wounds, but his younger brother, who was in swaddling clothes in front of him, was perfectly fine and sleeping peacefully.

Lin Yu thought: He already has my cells, so his injuries should heal on their own, but his chakra is almost exhausted. How many times did he have to be chased to get here?

It's unimaginable that a six-year-old boy, with his newborn brother, managed to cross three countries and reach their destination despite being relentlessly pursued.

Itachi stared into the unfathomable pupils beneath the mask of the man before him and said, "You are... the Shadow... Uchiha Yu?"

“Yes, it’s me,” Lin Yu said.

"I want to join your ranks!"

"The reason is..."

"The Uchiha are about to launch a rebellion, and it is destined to fail. There is no place for me in Konoha Village."

"What's the real reason?"

"For my younger brother, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Lin Yu's gaze darkened slightly: "How can you be so sure that I would accept you?"

Itachi replied without hesitation, "Because my younger brother survived, thanks to you!"

Whoosh, a gust of wind blew by...

Lin Yu gazed intently at Itachi, then turned and said, "Come here."

Thump! At that moment, Itachi collapsed to the ground.

Full Moon said with a complicated expression, "His body was already pushed to its limit. He was able to hold on until now entirely by willpower. But even when he collapsed, his instinct to protect his younger brother made him land on his back..."
