However, at the current stage, Lexon's strength was still very sought after. Even in the Uchiha clan, he should be treated with importance.
After all, it was currently the Third Shinobi World War, and it was also a tense period with Konoha. An ordinary Jonin was already a very important combat force.
However, even though they had agreed to take Lexon back to Konoha, they were not completely at ease with him and arranged for a ninja to watch him.
But Lexon didn't care about that at all. Every day, he would find Uchiha Genka once.
The ninja monitoring Lexon didn't know what he was up to, and Uchiha Genka was even more clueless about what this long-lost clansman meant by coming over every day just to shake his hand... After shaking hands, he would just leave directly, without even half a word of pleasantry.
He was completely baffled.
But even if they racked their brains, they would never guess that the reason Lexon went to shake Uchiha Genka's hand every time was to sign in and obtain his skills.
There was no other way. Shisui was out on a mission, and at the current stage, Uchiha Genka was the strongest Jonin in this gathering point. The other Uchiha ninjas were all trash. Who else could he sign in on?
Although Uchiha Genka was worlds apart from the Uchiha Madara or Senju Hashirama that Lexon had expected to sign in on, for Lexon, who had just entered this world, the things he obtained from signing in were still quite effective in improving his strength.
For example...
[Fire Release Chakra (Jonin Level): It is an energy produced by the organic combination of various component energies controlled by the human body. It is the material energy source for casting ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. The chakra nature is fire.]
Most Uchiha clansmen had Fire Release chakra, so Lexon naturally signed in for this as well.
[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique: Chakra gathered in the throat is spewed forward from the mouth as a massive fireball.]
[Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique: Continuously spits out fireballs from the mouth. The attack trajectory resembles the fruit of a phoenix sage flower. The trajectory of the fireballs can be manipulated using chakra.]
[Substitution Jutsu: A substitution technique that rapidly replaces the body with a wooden plank at the moment of attack, making the opponent think the attack succeeded. It is a practical basic ninjutsu that can even be learned at the Ninja Academy.]
[Shadow Clone Technique: Uses chakra to create physical clones. They can act and fight just like the caster, possess consciousness independent of the caster's main body, and have a certain degree of resistance to attacks. After being dispelled, the clone's memories and experiences return to the main body.]
...
In just over ten days, Lexon had signed in for many useful things, fully compensating for his lack of abilities within the Naruto world's system.
Chakra... Ninjutsu... Although after a dozen days, the accumulated ninjutsu weren't numerous, it was already quite good.
After all, he could learn a ninjutsu just by touching someone. What more could he ask for?
Today, Shisui returned from his mission.
After his return, everyone at the gathering point was summoned by Uchiha Genka.
"This Shinobi World War is over," Uchiha Genka said, standing on a high platform.
'It's over?'
Lexon was a little puzzled.
He had thought it was only the middle of the Third Shinobi World War.
His mind spun rapidly, Konoha's history drifting through his thoughts.
'If what Uchiha Genka said is true, and the Third Shinobi World War is over now, then it means it's currently Konoha Year 51.'
'Has the Nine-Tails Rampage just happened not long ago...'
Lexon knew very well that the Nine-Tails Rampage was an important marker for the end of the Third Shinobi World War.
Under the control of Uchiha Obito, the Nine-Tails had ravaged Konoha. The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his wife had died...
And precisely because of this, almost all the strategic advantages Konoha had gained from winning the Third Shinobi World War were lost...
'But Naruto has only just been born now... It's still a long way from the Chunin Exams he'll participate in over ten years later, let alone the "Konoha Crush" plan that Orochimaru will initiate during those exams.'
'Over ten years...'
After confirming the current time, Lexon couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the timeframe.
The five years in the Demon Slayer world were already long enough. Now he had a mission that wouldn't even start for over ten years.
'Perhaps other Reincarnators will treat other Chunin Exams during these ten-plus years as the one mentioned in the mission,' but Lexon, who knew the whole picture, naturally knew that the Chunin Exams mentioned in the mission could only be Naruto's generation's, there could be no mistake.
'Maybe in the future, I'll get a mission where I have to wait hundreds of years for it to start...'
Lexon suddenly thought.
But then he couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore. After all, as long as he turned into a demon, there was no possibility of dying of old age. At most, he would become weak. But since he had the sign-in system, he wouldn't become weak either.
And to him, living in a story world and living in the real world made no difference. Neither was his own world. He had long since become indifferent. As long as he was happy, that was enough.
After Uchiha Genka sighed with emotion, he had everyone pack up and prepare to return to the village.
"Shisui, Xuan, come here for a moment," Uchiha Genka suddenly called Shisui and Lexon over.
That's right, this "Xuan" was Uchiha Genka's way of addressing Lexon.
Ever since Lexon had told him his name, the other had wanted to change his surname, to the full name Uchiha Lexon.
Although Lexon felt it was quite awkward, since he had told the lie of "I am a long-lost Uchiha clansman," he had to endure it.
"What is it?" Lexon asked, walking closer to Uchiha Genka.
Shisui also stood at the side.
"Due to certain matters, our clan's situation in the village is not good right now. Therefore, some clansmen already have extreme ideas," Uchiha Genka looked at Shisui. "I don't wish for the conflict between the clan and the village to deepen. So, Shisui, I hope you will keep a close eye on the clansmen."
The certain matters Uchiha Genka spoke of naturally referred to the Nine-Tails Rampage. The people in the village suspected the Uchiha clan because of it, and some people in the Uchiha clan would naturally have radical thoughts as a result.
From Uchiha Genka's words, it wasn't hard to see that he was part of the peace faction among the Uchiha. So he wanted Shisui, who was also in the peace faction, to pay some attention to certain members of the clan. With his strength, it was already sufficient...
Shisui's somewhat immature face nodded gravely. Having experienced the slaughter of the battlefield, his mind had already matured.
Next, Uchiha Genka looked at Lexon and said, "You say you are a long-lost Uchiha clansman. I will believe you for now and take you back to the clan. But the situation in the clan right now is just as I said, somewhat not right. So I hope that if you go to the clan, you will also stand on the same side as me."
His meaning was clear. He would trust Lexon and not be suspicious, but he hoped that after returning to the Uchiha, Lexon would not join the hawkish faction, but be part of the peace faction, supporting the idea of harmonious coexistence with the village.
"No problem," Lexon agreed.
He was quite friendly to anyone who could give him freebies.
Ah? Gyokko? What Gyokko?
Lexon expressed his confusion.
