To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

As he spoke, Orochimaru chased after Rope Tree.

"Don't run! Lord Shengshu will punish you!"

The corners of Shengshu's mouth curled up, his eyes were bright, and he ran like a standard ninja, at a very fast speed, passing by one tree after another.

"I see you!"

There was a gleam in Nawaki's eyes. Seeing the panicked Sand Ninja, he threw a kunai out, then formed seals with his hands and prepared to release ninjutsu.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Uchiha Shigeka appeared here. When he saw the situation under Rope Tree's feet, his pupils shrank.

The sound of wind and thunder exploded, Uchiha Shigeka kicked with his right foot, the ground under his feet was crushed, spider-web-like cracks scattered everywhere, and he shot out like an arrow!

Snapped!

The corners of Nawaki's mouth were still raised, and he looked at the enemies of Sand Village with joy.

Suddenly I felt my body become heavy, the scenery in my eyes receded, and then my back touched the ground, causing some pain.

The pain made Sheng Shu come back to his senses. He realized the current situation and quickly looked at the person who was pressing on him.

"Chonghua!?"

——Why is Chonghua here?

Doubts lingered in his mind, and thinking of the enemy ninjas from Sand Village, he quickly planned to move Uchiha Shigeka away...

boom!

There was a huge bang and sparks exploded straight into the sky.

Sheng Shu stared at the raging flames in astonishment. The hot air waves spread and hit him, bringing a slight burning pain.

Snapped!

Sheng Shu felt a pain on the right side of his cheek, and Uchiha Shigeka slapped him hard.

"...Zhonghua."

Uchiha Shigeka had a look of disappointment: "Shengshu, you broke your promise to me!"

Sheng Shu was stunned, ignoring the pain on his face. He looked surprised, staring into his eyes, unable to speak.

"Fortunately, thanks to Mr. Zhonghua..."

When Orochimaru arrived and saw the raging fire, he felt a surge of fear in his heart. He was almost swallowed by the ambush of the detonating tag.

Thinking of the consequences of Rope Tree's near death, Orochimaru felt sad and couldn't imagine Tsunade's expression.

He didn't care why Uchiha Shigeka appeared here. He was just grateful at this moment.

——It’s a good thing that Chonghua-kun showed up! Thanks to him for saving Shengshu at the critical moment...

"Orochimaru-senpai."

Uchiha Shigeka looked up at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru looked over, and the next moment, the pupils of his snake-like eyes shrank.

"...Sharingan, or the three-magatama Sharingan..."

In the light of the fire, Uchiha Shigeka opened his three-magatama Sharingan, and the enchanting red light became the only thing here.

......

Chapter 60: Chonghua: Yes, it’s the first time I opened my eyes!

On the way back, Orochimaru and Nawaki looked over here frequently.

Uchiha Shigeka held a kunai in his hand, and with the help of it, he looked at his three-magatama Sharingan with surprise and joy.

Immerse yourself in it and you can’t get enough of it!

There was still a slap mark on Sheng Shu's right cheek. He rubbed it and felt a burning pain that made him grimace.

"Zhonghua, your slap was too hard."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shigeka put away his kunai and snorted coldly at Rope Tree.

"What did someone say before? Didn't you promise me? You're acting rashly again."

"Almost, you were almost killed by the detonating talisman!"

Sheng Shu smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hey."

Sheng Shu sighed and said guiltily: "It's my fault. If Chonghua hadn't appeared, I would have died."

Thinking that death had been so close to him, Sheng Shu shuddered.

"This time! This time I swear! I will never, ever act on my own again!"

"You better be."

Uchiha Shigeka glanced at him sideways.

——Where have I heard this sentence before?

Sheng Shu thought about it, isn’t this what Chonghua said to him before he left?

"Hahaha......"

Sheng Shu was embarrassed. It had only been such a short time and he had already forgotten Chonghua's instructions.

Snapped!

The more Sheng Shu thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He raised his left hand and slapped himself hard on the left cheek.

Now there are slap marks on both faces.

“Hush, it hurts!”

The slap on the left cheek affected the right cheek as well. Sheng Shu immediately squatted down in pain, with his hands hanging beside his face, not daring to touch it.

"Naoki, think more about teacher Tsunade." Uchiha Shigeka shook his head helplessly and used the palm fairy technique to treat Naoki.

"You are the only relative Tsunade-sensei has."

Hearing this, Sheng Shu fell silent.

"Shigeka-kun, thank you for saving Rope Tree." Orochimaru looked inquiringly, "It was a close call. How did Shigeka-kun end up here?"

Uchiha Shigeka replied calmly: "Senior Orochimaru, please punish me. Because I was worried about what would happen to Rope Tree, I violated the mission and left the team without permission."

Sheng Shu looked at Uchiha Shigeka dejectedly, and said, "So you also acted on your own."

However, Chonghua was worried that he would leave the team. Shengshu felt guilty and vowed to change his bad habits!

"Teacher, if you want to blame someone, blame me. It's because of me that Chonghua made the mistake."

"There is a reason for everything. You don't have to be so serious, Mr. Chonghua. I don't think you are guilty."

After all, he was someone chosen by Sarutobi Sensei, and this was to save Nawaki. If he wanted to punish Uchiha Shigeka, Tsunade would come knocking on his door.

Thinking that must be a very troublesome matter, Orochimaru decided to just turn the page and not discuss it again.

He was more curious about something else.

Orochimaru stared at Uchiha Shigeka's eyes with his snake pupils.

"I opened my eyes out of concern for my companions' safety, and once opened, I gained a three-magatama Sharingan."

"Shigeka-kun, there has never been anything like this in Uchiha history."

Orochimaru paid attention to Uchiha Shigeka's expression and said slowly: "Have you... opened your eyes before?"

Uchiha Shigeka looked at Orochimaru with a smug look in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, and a smile that was somewhat arrogant and wanton.

"Senior Orochimaru, just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it."

"There has never been a genius like me in the history of the Uchiha clan!"

These words drew the attention of Orochimaru and Nawaki.

Orochimaru frowned, hesitating about his guess.

Uchiha Shigeka's obvious personality change is exactly the same as that of most Uchiha clan members who have opened their eyes.

So... maybe Uchiha Shigeka is really gifted, and he has a three-magatama Sharingan as soon as he opens his eyes?

As he himself said, Uchiha Shigeka's talent is extremely rare in Uchiha history.

Orochimaru seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

【interesting. 】

It’s hard to guess what’s true and what’s false.

Uchiha Shigeka is truly a child full of secrets.

He licked the corner of his mouth and looked at Uchiha Shigeka with interest.

He recalled a sparring match between Uchiha Shigeka and Namikaze Minato. The sudden change in their strength now seemed to have a different meaning.

Is it really as Uchiha Shigeka said, or is there something hidden?

Let him observe more.

Orochimaru looked excited, he was very curious!

......

"The Rope Tree!"

Looking at his sister Tsunade who was coming towards him aggressively, Nawaki shrank his head with a look of fear on his face.

"Sister, don't hit my head..."

Before she finished her words, Tsunade hugged Nawaki in her arms. Her eyes turned red and she said, "Don't make your sister scared and worried, Nawaki!"

Sheng Shu was stunned, his eyes turned red and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

He hugged his sister tightly and said over and over again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sister, I made you worry."

"I will never, ever be reckless again."

Tsunade gave Nawase a hard slap, then snorted as she watched Nawase cover his head in pain.

"Remember what you said! You don't care about your own safety, and you still dream of becoming a Hokage."

Tsunade looked at Nawaki with disdain: "If you die, your dreams will be useless!"

She pulled the necklace out from between the tree's necks and said, "I want to take back my grandfather's necklace. You are so impetuous and reckless. I don't trust you with it!"

"Ah, why is this?"

Sheng Shu's face was downcast. He had been praying for his grandfather's necklace for a long time. His sister gave him the necklace before the war started. Now he was back to the time before liberation.

Grandfather's necklace flew away, and Shengshu was very depressed.

"Where's Chonghua?"

Tsunade asked, and Nawaki collected himself and motioned for Tsunade to follow him.

The two came to the tent at the back of the camp.

Tsunade paused as she heard a familiar groaning and screaming sound.

When I opened the door curtain, I saw that this was indeed a temporary hospital.

Beads of sweat appeared on Uchiha Shigeka's face as he, Namikaze Minato and two other ninjas who knew medical ninjutsu were treating the injured.

Medical ninjas are even more scarce here.

Seeing this, Tsunade pulled up her sleeves and said, "I'll help!"

After a busy period, the treatment was temporarily ended when it was about to get dark.

Uchiha Shigeka wiped his sweat and said, "Why is Teacher Tsunade here?"

Tsunade took a sip of water and said, "Orochimaru encountered a poison he couldn't understand, so Sakumo-senpai sent me here."

The Sand Village is quite skilled in dealing with poisons. Orochimaru has been in contact with snakes and has studied a lot of toxins.

In the battle with Sunagakure, he cracked some poisons, but he couldn't understand other poisons. He could only ask the command center to let Tsunade come over.
