Chapter 70 - Chapter 70: About to Go on a Mission with Minato

In the original story, there aren't many scenes featuring Shisui Uchiha. All we know is that he's the grandson of Kagami Uchiha, a disciple of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.

Shisui had inherited Kagami Uchiha's love for the village and was trusted by the Third kage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He was determined to ease the tension between the Uchiha Clan and the village. Unfortunately, he was attacked by an old scoundrel (a colloquial Chinese slang for a despicable old person), which led to his complete disappointment in the high - ups. Eventually, he chose to commit suicide in front of Itachi Uchiha.

During his first time on the battlefield, Shisui earned the title of "Teleporting Shisui". He was definitely a young genius on par with Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha. It's really a pity that his story ended so abruptly. We can only say that the old scoundrel Tanzō truly deserves to be hacked to pieces. The decline of Konoha in the later period can mostly be blamed on this old scoundrel. Especially during the Third Ninja War, Konoha was besieged by the other four countries.

Although, from the original story, Shisui Uchiha's character and talent are beyond doubt, that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that during his lifetime, Yue Yan's favorite ninja was New Year Ding Zhen. Once, he said, "Can't you summon with a flip of your hand?" Then, he was easily defeated by a combo move from New Year Ding Zhen.

So what if it cost 1980 in - game currency? So what if he had to live frugally for a week (a Chinese internet slang meaning to live a very frugal life)? For Yue Yan, who had just started college at that time, it was no big deal. It couldn't stop him from getting this character.

Huh? This sentence sounds a bit odd. Oh well, never mind.

At that time, Yue Yan was happily practicing in the arena. Unfortunately, New Year Ding Zhen was nerfed not long after. After that, with the thought that it was a waste not to use him since he'd already bought the character, Yue Yan continued to use him to climb the ranked ladder.

On Shisui's side, after being pulled down by Yue Yan in a daze, he watched Yue Yan's constantly changing expressions and became even more confused. He couldn't help but look at Fugaku sitting across from him.

"Uncle Fugaku, who is this big brother?"

"Um..."

Fugaku also noticed Yue Yan's expressions changing from excitement to regret and then to gritted - teeth anger. He was also confused, but from their previous interactions, he knew that Yue Yan was very capable yet a bit unreliable in daily life.

Fugaku still remembered that one day, after Yue Yan came back from training, he squatted beside the women's bathhouse, determined to catch his master, Jiraiya. He said that in order to relieve the pain in his body, someone had to suffer more in their heart.

As a result, just as Jiraiya arrived near the bathhouse, Yue Yan pointed at him and shouted, accusing him of peeping. Then, Jiraiya was surrounded and beaten by a group of people rushing out of the women's bathhouse with a confused look on his face.

However, Fugaku definitely couldn't say these things in front of Yue Yan. So, he introduced Yue Yan to Shisui in a different way.

"This is Yue Yan, Lord Jiraiya's disciple. He's a really powerful ninja, and his Mystical Palm Technique is only second to Lady Tsunade's."

As he spoke, Fugaku also recounted Yue Yan's various deeds on the battlefield in the past year.

After hearing this, Shisui, who was just over two years old, instantly had his eyes light up, and his gaze towards Yue Yan was filled with reverence.

At this time, Yue Yan also snapped out of his daydreaming and saw Shisui looking at him with admiration.

Before Yue Yan could say anything, Shisui excitedly spoke up.

"Aniki is so amazing! I also want to be like Aniki, Slaughtering Enemies on All Fronts on the battlefield and protecting the village."

"Uh... Not bad."

Yue Yan reached out and ruffled Shisui's hair, casually being modest.

After that, while waiting for Mikoto Uchiha to finish cooking, Shisui kept pestering Yue Yan, eager to hear about what happened on the battlefield.

Not wanting to mislead the child and with a Jinchuriki of the Nine - Tailed Fox beside him, Yue Yan told the truth, and even deliberately described some parts with more Cruelty.

Kushina, who had heard similar things for the third time, rolled her eyes and didn't say a word.

However, Shisui still looked at Yue Yan with shining eyes. Shisui thought simply. The battlefield is so cruel. Even if one sacrifices for the village, they'll be heroes.

Looking at Shisui like this, Yue Yan couldn't help but grin, feeling a bit of pain in his back teeth. He didn't expect that Shisui was influenced by the Will of Fire at such a young age.

Yue Yan wanted to explain something, but he didn't know where to start, and finally let it go.

After that, Yue Yan finished the meal under Shisui's admiring gaze.

Watching the backs of Yue Yan and Kushina leaving, Shisui couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Yue Yan is only in his teens now, yet he has such powerful strength. I must redouble my efforts in training from now on."

Hearing this, Fugaku beside him stroked his head.

"You will."

Two more months passed like this. It was spring of the next year, and the Third Ninja World War had lasted for a whole year.

Bone Forest (Shigulin).

Yue Yan sat cross - legged with his eyes closed in the acid rain. Stripes like markings gradually appeared on his face, but they ultimately failed to fully condense and finally dissipated.

Yue Yan opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I was so close."

He walked back to the shelter and, as usual, was wrapped by a couple of little Katsuyu to help him recover.

"Little Yue Yan, Cheer up. It's only been half a year since you started learning the Sannin Mode. Your progress is already fast enough."

"Sister Katsuyu, I know my progress is already quite fast."

As he said this, Yue Yan couldn't help but sigh again.

Although Yue Yan couldn't remember when Obito Uchiha was crushed by the boulder, as Obito's friend, he really didn't want to see him being brainwashed into becoming the big villain boss.

During this time, Yue Yan had been researching sealing ninjutsu, trying to seal a part of his own life force so that he could save Rin, the person Obito valued most, when she was framed by Madara Uchiha.

As long as Rin Nohara is alive, Obito Uchiha won't turn evil.

With the help of sage Katsuyu, Yue Yan had made some progress.

As for why Yue Yan was eager to master the Sannin Mode, it was mainly to prevent Madara Uchiha from breaking the rules and ruining the plan.

Although he had tried to hide himself before, it was impossible to do so on the battlefield. Even though he didn't know if Madara Uchiha had noticed him, if he dared to stop Madara's plan, he had to be on guard. With the Shikkotsu Forest [b]Senji Sannin Mode[/b], combined with his own recovery ability and healing skills, he definitely wouldn't die when facing the old Madara Uchiha. Moreover, with a burst of power, he might even be able to defeat the old Madara Uchiha.

He just wondered if the system would classify Madara Uchiha as a super kage - level powerhouse. If it did and he got a top - tier treasure chest, then Yue Yan would have enough strength to face Kaguya ōtsutsuki in the future.

Thinking about the treasure chest, Yue Yan regretted not killing Chiyo. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to rush to practice the Sannin Mode.

It's really regrettable. After sighing, Yue Yan, who had fully recovered, returned home.

Just as Yue Yan took a sip of water, he heard a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he was surprised to see Minato Namikaze, someone he hadn't seen in ages.

Minato flashed Yue Yan his signature sunny smile and greeted him cheerfully.

"Yue Yan, hope I'm not disturbing your rest."

"No," Yue Yan shook his head. He invited Minato into the house and poured him a glass of water. Then he asked, "Minato - senpai, is there something you need from me?"

"Yeah, there is actually something." Minato didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "The Jonin just had a meeting. You might have to go on a mission with me to the battlefield in the Land of Lightning next week."
