Haruki and Mikoto Uchiha arrived at the street where the Uchiha Clan was located.
It was already afternoon.
Due to their status, the Uchiha clan members they encountered greeted them one by one.
Haruki responded with a smile.
In the original work, apart from the inherent personalities of the Uchiha Clan members, the main cause of the Uchiha Clan's rebellion existed. That was Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tanzo Shimura had pushed them too hard.
After the Nine - Tailed Fox Incident, asking the Uchiha to move their residence was too blatant.
It was like telling them straight out that they were suspected of being the culprits behind the incident.
Naturally, the other villagers would also think the same way.
Considering the pride of the Uchiha Clan, or even an ordinary ninja wouldn't be able to endure the strange looks from others every day. It would be more normal for them to leave.
Except for the main character like Naruto Uzumaki.
Well, how to put it?
Haruki thought that if Fugaku Uchiha had been more decisive during the Nine - Tailed Fox Incident, he should have fought to protect the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, with his life.
There might have been a turning point.
While Minato held back Obito Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha could have controlled the Nine - Tailed Fox or found a way to stall for time.
With his strength, he surely could have done it.
As long as Minato didn't die and Fugaku had the merit of "saving the Hokage (a term similar to 'protecting the ruler' in the ninja world)", the Uchiha Clan wouldn't have ended up being massacred.
However, perhaps due to the author's intention, there had hardly been anyone in the Uchiha Clan with political acumen.
"Hey, Mikoto. Lord Haruki."
Fugaku smiled when he saw Mikoto and bowed slightly to Haruki.
Within the clan, the only girl he had affection for or respected was Mikoto, and as a result, he grew more and more respectful towards Haruki.
Because he could tell that Haruki held a high position in Mikoto's heart.
Although he couldn't quite understand why a teacher of medical ninjas could make Mikoto treat him so.
Maybe Haruki had saved her life?
Fugaku snapped out of his thoughts and suddenly heard Mikoto's request for a sparring session. He was a bit puzzled.
The two of them often sparred, but Haruki had never watched them face - to - face before.
Could it be that Mikoto invited Haruki to be the judge as a test for him?
Thinking of this possibility, Fugaku agreed with a smile.
Haruki stepped back to the side, waiting to watch the show.
Mikoto calmly formed the Opposite Seal.
A look of confusion flashed across Fugaku's eyes.
During their previous sparring sessions, Mikoto usually had a very serious and solemn expression. She would never be as relaxed and nonchalant as she was now.
But he didn't have time to think too much.
The Three - Tomoe in his eyes emerged.
He was very familiar with Mikoto's strength, so he skipped the probing stage and directly activated his [Sharingan].
However, the next moment, his body trembled involuntarily, and the Three - Tomoe in his eyes seemed to reverse and return to normal.
Fugaku was slightly stunned, and the surrounding environment changed.
He was on a sailing ship.
The blue sky was reflected in the river.
[Genjutsu]?
He was caught in a [Genjutsu]?
How could that be?!
Fugaku frowned and concentrated all his pupil power in his eyes.
The [Genjutsu] of the Uchiha Clan was almost always based on the [Sharingan], so an internal fight meant a confrontation of pupil power.
In the original work, Sasuke Uchiha strengthened his pupil power with the [Cursed Seal] and used his [Sharingan] to break through the [Tsukuyomi].
A few seconds later, Fugaku covered his eyes and couldn't help letting out a pained moan.
Normally, he could rely on his Sharingan to dispel Genjutsu directly.
But he couldn't activate his Sharingan.
His ocular power encountered an obstacle.
No matter how hard he tried to break through, it was all in vain.
It was as if some Force had fundamentally undermined all his Dojutsu.
It was simply unthinkable!
He had never experienced or even heard of such an absurd thing before.
Outside, Haruki blinked his eyes.
Has it started? No, it's already over.
He saw the moment Fugaku's Opposite Seal dissipated, and Fugaku stood there like a puppet, not moving at all.
In other words, it was a one - hit kill.
Among the current Uchiha clan members, except for Madara Uchiha, Fugaku was almost the top - level Jonin.
But he still couldn't last a single second in Mikoto's hands.
The Sharingan, of which the Uchiha clan was so proud, was useless, and their combat power was almost reduced by two - thirds.
Haruki felt that he had underestimated the power of Mikoto's Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Mikoto?"
He immediately looked at Mikoto across from him. Her face was no longer calm as before, but showed signs of pain.
Did the first use of her ability have such severe side - effects?
Haruki quickly walked up to her.
Light - green Chakra emerged from his hands and covered her eyes.
As his Sensor ability spread, he clearly noticed that her retina and optic nerve system were both damaged to varying degrees.
Haruki was silent for a moment.
Sure enough, Mikoto's two abilities were too overpowered.
Ifunayasaka was similar to Izanagi, but the price was far less.
After all, each use of Izanagi cost one Sharingan.
Not to mention Yomitsu. Except for the higher - level Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Rinnegan, and Tenseigan, all other Dojutsu were nullified.
"Unless it's a life - or - death situation, don't use your Mangekyo Sharingan."
Haruki withdrew his hands and said earnestly, "You should have felt the condition of your eyes. Frequent use will make you blind soon."
Mikoto nodded silently.
Haruki didn't say anything else.
He was quite confident in Mikoto.
She wouldn't be as reckless as her son, Sasuke Uchiha. After activating his Mangekyo Sharingan, Sasuke became so aggressive that he went against everyone and everything, and went blind in just fifteen days.
Then he was a bit puzzled.
Oh,!
Because Fugaku was still trapped in the Genjutsu and hadn't woken up.
"What did you set in the Genjutsu for him?"
Haruki knew that Mikoto wouldn't abuse Fugaku for no reason, so he asked.
"It's the content of the Teacher's class."
"Ah?"
Haruki turned to look at Mikoto in surprise.
Good grief!
Why didn't I think of using Genjutsu to directly instill knowledge?
But it was just a thought.
The members of the Xia Organization were all talented individuals with extraordinary gifts. Ordinary Genjutsu wouldn't work at all, unless Mikoto used her Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, the cost was too high.
It was estimated that she would go blind before the knowledge was fully instilled.
"His Ideas are rather stubborn. Using conventional methods may take a long time."
Mikoto looked at Fugaku, who remained still, and suddenly smiled faintly. She said, "I was just thinking about what Teacher would do."
"I think you might have a misunderstanding about me."
Haruki shrugged. Notice the strange look she gave him, which might even be a disdain for his thick - skinnedness.
He remained calm and said, "If it were me, it wouldn't be as simple as just having a class. For a proud person, you first have to break his pride. Only by trampling on what he takes pride in repeatedly can he break through and transform."
"..."
Mikoto's eyes gradually filled with admiration.
No wonder he was her teacher.
"You've still got a lot to learn."
Haruki had always been worried that Mikoto was too kind - hearted, but it seemed she knew how to adapt after all.
"Play around slowly. I'm leaving first."
Since he couldn't see what was happening inside the [Genjutsu], it wasn't fun watching the battle.
Haruki gave the two of them some time to build their relationship.
With a momentary flash, he returned to Akihabara.
"Tsunade."
Haruki pushed open the door and called out.
A moment later, Tsunade walked out of the study, a look of pleasant surprise on her face.
Haruki smiled, stood still, and opened his arms.
Tsunade hesitated for a few seconds, then walked slowly towards him. Suddenly, she quickened her pace, ran up, and jumped into his arms, wrapping her hands around his neck.
Haruki instinctively supported her long legs with his hands.
"You... umm..."
He didn't have time to say anything.
Tsunade held his face and kissed him with all her might.
Three minutes later, Tsunade let go of her hands and lay on Haruki's shoulder, rubbing her head against his cheek.
She gasped for breath.
Her breathing was unusually audible.
Haruki swallowed hard. It was the smell of Tsunade's lipstick.
"Did you miss me?"
Haruki leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"Yes."
Tsunade answered without hesitation. She straightened up slightly, rested her chin on Haruki's shoulder, and a sweet smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
