Genna Uchiha watched his son, Jing Ye, moving and dodging like a butterfly flitting through flowers, and he was completely stunned, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
"No way?"
"I only told you to learn shurikenjutsu, not to master movement techniques as well!"
Jing Ye, who was running at high speed, suddenly braked sharply, digging his foot into the ground. His body sprang into the air like a spring, and he spun around gracefully in mid-air, quickly throwing four shuriken. With a whooshing sound, they accurately hit the bullseye.
When he landed, he supported himself on one hand in a handstand, his arm slightly bent and his body lowered. Then, he pushed off with force again, performing several consecutive somersaults. During the process, he threw the shuriken so fast they left afterimages, but this did not affect their accuracy in the slightest.
Genna Uchiha's eyelids twitched wildly as he watched.
He hadn't taught him any of these flashy moves!
"What's going on?!"
"This kid even knows how to extrapolate?"
But that wasn't all. The next moment, Jing Ye took shurikenjutsu to another level, just like Itachi Uchiha, making several thrown shuriken collide in mid-air and then strike in different directions.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Each moving target was hit with precision.
Genna Uchiha fell completely silent, frozen in place.
He had to admit.
His child's shuriken skill really had something special.
In terms of flashiness alone, he had already far surpassed his old father.
He even suspected that his son might have been secretly practicing shurikenjutsu, with the aim of giving him a big surprise.
But this was clearly impossible. Genna Uchiha kept Jing Ye by his side every day.
Jing Ye simply didn't have the free time to practice secretly.
So there was only one explanation:
That was,
His son, Uchiha Shizune,
Was a true genius!!!
...[Your father, Genna Uchiha, after witnessing your shurikenjutsu display, felt his worldview shaken, believing he had paid too little attention to you and had previously failed to notice your talent. He subsequently raised his expectations for you and decided to be even stricter in his guidance.]
[In the following days, you practiced taijutsu and kenjutsu diligently every day, and gradually mastered Chakra control.]
[Tree climbing training, water walking training, basic Ninjutsu, and even the family's basic Fire Release—you quickly mastered them all.]
[Your father, seeing your rapid progress, was greatly pleased. He also noticed your mature mind and that your spiritual energy was significantly higher than your peers.]
[Thus, in your fourth year, he killed the puppy you had raised for three years right in front of you. You were intensely stimulated and awakened a two-tomoe Sharingan in your anger.]
[This news quickly spread throughout the entire Uchiha Clan. Awakening the Sharingan at four years old, and with two tomoe no less, you became the earliest and strongest genius to awaken the Sharingan in the entire clan. Your prestige within the Uchiha Clan increased!]
[Gradually, as your strength continued to grow, you shifted your focus to Medical Ninjutsu and for the first time requested medical-related books from your father.]
[Initially, your father disagreed. After all, the Uchiha are a clan that prides itself on its ocular jutsu, and the Sharingan belongs to Yin Release. The powerful Yin Release Power completely overshadowed Yin Release Power, so the Uchiha were not proficient in Medical Ninjutsu, and your father did not want you to waste your energy on useless things.]
[But when he saw the powerful Yin Release Power you condensed, he instantly fell silent, almost doubting whether you were truly an Uchiha. Fortunately, he was certain of his own lineage.]
[With your persistence, your father eventually agreed to your request.]
[Thus, in your fourth year, while maintaining your basic Ninjutsu training, you added the task of studying medical texts.]
[Of course, you did not forget your main mission, but due to the previous difficulty adjustment, you also made some changes to your plan.]
[And so, by the time you were five years old, you finally took the first step of your plan: bringing back a little blond boy from outside.]
[This scene was coincidentally witnessed by your older brother, Uchiha Fugaku, who had just stepped out. He blocked your path and questioned you.]
"Jing Ye, who... is he?"
Uchiha Fugaku stared at the little blond boy standing behind his younger brother, his expression as ugly as if he had eaten dirt.
He already deeply loved his adorable younger brother and very much wanted to get closer to him.
However, his father always snatched his brother away, occupying too much of his brother's time, leaving him no chance to properly care for his brother.
He had thought that as his brother grew older, they might have more time together, but he never expected his brother to suddenly bring back a blond boy from outside.
Seeing this, Fugaku's face immediately darkened.
It was bad enough that Father competed with him for his brother; how dare this little blond kid from outside also compete with him for his brother?
"This is outrageous!"
Jing Ye was stunned, looking at his older brother in front of him, not understanding why he was reacting so strongly.
"Isn't it just bringing a child back to the clan territory?"
"As a major clan of Konoha, it's normal for us Uchiha to support a civilian child, isn't it?"
Thinking this, a smile unconsciously appeared on Jing Ye's face, and he said loudly, "Onii-san, I want to raise him in our Uchiha Clan."
"Crack!"
Hearing these words, Uchiha Fugaku was struck by lightning, instantly freezing in place, his gaze blank, looking somewhat unable to accept it.
His neck twisted with "kaka" sounds, and his Sharingan spun wildly in his eye sockets, flashing with crimson light. He barely managed to avoid activating his Mangekyo, staring incredulously at the blond boy.
"Raise... him!?"
"Yes."
Jing Ye explained, "Minato Namikaze is a war orphan. His parents died young, and he's now alone, living in an orphanage. It's very pitiful."
Of course, these were all fabricated reasons by Jing Ye. The real reason was that he wanted to block Minato Namikaze's path to becoming Hokage.
Because that little dark sun, back then, due to some Hokage responsibility, ignorantly dragged Kushina along with him to their deaths.
"It's simply speechless!"
"You should know, Kushina is from the Uzumaki Clan, possessing powerful vitality."
Even when Obito extracted the Nine-Tailed from her, she didn't die. In fact, even under the double negative buffs of [just giving birth] and [Nine-Tailed extraction], she could still release Adamantine Sealing Chains to restrain one of the Nine-Tailed's claws.
And that wasn't all. Even with a hole through her chest, her remaining Chakra allowed her to chat with Naruto for a long time, and then release chains again to continue stalling.
"Are you telling me this looks like someone who's about to die?"
Ultimately, Kushina's death was caused by Tailed Beast extraction, a weakened state, and severe injuries.
If Minato had sealed the Nine-Tailed back into Kushina's body at that time, Kushina could have completely avoided death.
Even if she might have died, with Kushina's abnormal physique, she might have still lived for several more years, right?
Wouldn't it have been better to use those few years to properly recuperate Kushina's body?
If that wasn't possible, couldn't they have found Sunagakure's forbidden jutsu, "Chiyo's Reanimation Ninjutsu," to extend her life a bit, and it would have been over?
But you, little dark sun, insisted that Kushina was going to die, even though Kushina herself suggested that Minato reseal the Nine-Tailed back into her body.
The little dark sun just wouldn't listen, stubbornly believing that she was going to die.
And then he said things like "for the Village, for Konoha." He was completely brainwashed by the Third Hokage, and directly hit her with the Reaper Death Seal, not even giving her a chance to speak. Who wouldn't feel wronged in that situation?
"If you want to die, don't drag me along!"
So, since you, Minato, are so ignorant and so dedicated to being Hokage, then you won't be Hokage for me in this lifetime.
"Just steadily escort the Uchiha for me!"
As for Kushina, I, Uchiha Shizune, will naturally cure her love-struck brain!
"She won't fall in love with anyone else again in this lifetime, and she won't get pregnant again!"
Lest the seal weaken during childbirth, and then some little Obito takes advantage, releasing the Nine-Tailed again.
Then Jing Ye would really throw up.
After all, he would have already died by then, and there would be no way to save her!
"Falling in love kills people; even dogs don't fall in love!"
It was at this moment that a notification sound suddenly echoed in Jing Ye's mind.
[Mission: Help Kushina avoid her death. Mission progress: 10%]
"Damn it, for Kushina's death, you, little dark sun, are at least ninety percent to blame!"
