"Why do they have eyes, and I don't?" Rosen glanced at Lust, then Jealousy, who acted entitled.
Was Jealousy's envy that intense?
Lust looked indifferent. Rosen gave Lust a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
He'd meant it for Jealousy, but Jealousy tried to snatch it.
"Why was I last? Why are they older?" Jealousy roared.
Rosen's face darkened. They were all twisted.
"Jealousy, never harm your companions, ever. Understood? Or I'll make you understand."
Despite their madness, the four Shadow Demons were loyal to Rosen.
He gave Jealousy a Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
He examined his spoils: a Chakra Cultivation Scroll and a Ninjutsu Scroll.
The Ninjutsu Scroll had C- and B-rank Five Elements Ninjutsu, mostly impractical.
Rosen spent days cultivating chakra; the Shadow Demons practiced Ninjutsu.
He had Five Elements attributes. Past-life memories made Ninjutsu less obscure.
After a month in a cave, his chakra reached 1 Kakashi (a chakra unit).
His style mimicked a weaker Kakuzu.
Kakuzu used Earth Grudge Fear for combination Ninjutsu, top artillery among non-cheat ninja.
Rosen used Shadow Demons for B-rank combination Ninjutsu, limited by chakra—a lesser Kakuzu.
His taijutsu was decent but unsystematic.
He could mix close and long-range attacks, swap with Shadow Demons (like a weaker Flying Thunder God), and use Ten Rings' energy impact (like a weaker Shinra Tensei).
Swapping to enemy crowds and unleashing energy mimicked Shinra Tensei.
The Nara Clan's Shadow Secret Technique offered short-term control.
Sharingan and Byakugan gave long-range, dynamic, and panoramic vision, plus Genjutsu resistance.
Rosen was well-rounded, if not perfect.
Host: Rosen
Qi Cultivation: 1550
Remaining Lifespan: 300
Qi Cultivation (Minor Accomplishment), Magic (Beginner), Ninjutsu (Outstanding)
Time-Space Points: 10
His strength was between Jonin and Elite Jonin.
Compared to Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama, he was insignificant.
Ci Xuan's normal state was Super Shadow-Grade; with Karma, he'd hit Six Paths Level for 48 hours.
Such figures were far above Rosen.
He could hide in the mountains until the Warring States ended and Ninja Villages formed, or seek benefits now.
Ninjutsu was crude but held hidden treasures.
Six years before Konoha's founding, clans fought to the death.
The Senju and Uchiha exhausted their forces on the front lines.
Rosen chose to explore, needing Time-Space Points. Hiding wouldn't earn them.
He avoided battlefields, visiting towns.
En route to the Land of Fire's capital, he saw a battle.
He meant to avoid it and collect corpses later.
A wounded boy fell before him, chased by five adult Uchiha ninja.
Rosen entered combat mode; he had no choice.
In the Warring States, battlefields spared no one.
The boy, hair half black, half white, wore green samurai armor. Despite wounds and near-empty chakra, his eyes stayed firm.
The five Uchiha encircled them.
"Sorry, young man, I dragged you into this," the boy said.
"How will you compensate me?"
The boy was stunned. In danger, he asked for compensation?
Rosen relaxed slightly, Shadow Demons spreading out.
He struck first, Shadow Demons attacking from behind.
One Uchiha's throat was slit; the others escaped with minor injuries.
Rosen cursed; Uchiha were tough.
The boy was shocked. So strong!
Was this the Nara Clan's Shadow Secret Technique? It seemed deadlier.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! An Uchiha launched a massive fireball.
Rosen and the boy dodged.
Boom— The fireball missed, flames erupting.
Rosen swapped with Lust, appearing behind the Uchiha.
The Uchiha reacted fast, pulling back, forming Wind Release: Vacuum Wave.
Rosen slammed his fist down. Ten Rings: Energy Impact.
A shockwave shattered the Vacuum Wave, flinging the Uchiha.
Rosen followed with an aerial punch, five rings striking mid-air.
Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death! Another Uchiha cast Genjutsu.
Rosen's mind reeled but cleared.
Genjutsu needed strong resistance or chakra disruption to break.
Dojutsu eyes resisted Genjutsu, and Rosen's Shadow Demons' vision minimized the impact.
Shadow Secret Technique: Shadow Binding!
Lust, Gluttony, and Greed bound the remaining Uchiha's shadows.
Jealousy's arms became black blades, killing them in a second.
"Obtained 5 Time-Space Points."
Why? Who was this boy?
He was dazed. The battle ended so fast?
He'd been chased for hours, any Uchiha able to defeat him.
Yet this stranger slew them easily.
"Nara Clan ninja?" the boy asked.
"Yes. Who are you?"
The Shadow Demons mimicked the Nara Clan's technique, saving Rosen explanations.
"I'm Itama Senju. Thank you for saving me. Come to the Senju Clan; my brother will reward you."
Itama Senju! Hashirama and Tobirama's brother.
Tobirama's Uchiha hatred stemmed from their killing Itama and Kawarama.
Saving Itama changed history, earning points.
Meeting William Kyle likely altered history too.
Maggie's fate didn't change much, so no points—she'd become the Ancient One as fated.
But why did Max's birth grant 100 points?
With the method for points confirmed, the rest was simpler.
Escorting Itama to the Senju Clan, they met a white-haired youth in blue-and-white samurai armor.
Rosen recognized him: Senju Tobirama, future Second Hokage, master of forbidden Ninjutsu.
"Itama, who's this?"
"Brother Tobirama, I met him on the way. He killed the Uchiha chasing me."
Tobirama eyed Rosen warily.
In this era, spies abounded. Saving Itama didn't earn trust.
