Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

Seven years after the moon crash.

The new order of the ninja world, led by Kirigakure and the Fourth Mizukage Kaguya Rei, gradually flourished.

Just like the first Hokage, Senju Hashirama, calmed down the troubled times and established Konoha, the first ninja village in the land of fire, the new order blew all over the ninja world like the new wind of spring.

Even the forces that once had enmity with Kirigakure had to calm down and try to learn the way to become stronger in the new era from the rapid changes in Kirigakure; even in the situation where Kaguya Rei dominated the whole life. People who still have ambitions must draw strength from his unrestrained thoughts in order to realize their ambitions.

Not everyone is willing to accept the new order he created, but no one can deny that under his will, the ninja world has entered an era that is completely different from the era of ninja villages that continued many customs from the Warring States Period. New Era.

…

"Nissan~"

"Oh, is it Sasuke?"

Looking at his younger brother who flew into his arms like a happy puppy, Uchiha Itachi, who had just completed his graduation examination and returned from Kirigakure Village, smiled and hugged Uchiha Sasuke. He stood up, then looked at his younger brother's sunny smiling face, and gently raised his hand to tap his forehead.

"Compared to when I left, have you grown a little taller, Sasuke?"

"Of course!" Uchiha Sasuke narrowed his eyes proudly and comfortably, "In order not to lose to the Hinata family's Ningji in the competition for grade chief, I drink more milk and eat eggs every day, and work hard to grow. High and strong!"

"Oh~ Even with father as your training partner, there's still no winner in the battle for grade chief between you and Neji?"

Uchiha Itachi showed a slightly surprised expression on his face, "If you put it this way, the distinction between the main family and the branch families of the Hyuga clan has probably begun to collapse..."

"Zong family and branch family? What are those?"

Uchiha Sasuke looked longingly at Uchiha Itachi, who wore a pair of plain glasses without prescription and exuded the bookish air of a "scholar", and asked curiously.

"A system that once played a positive role in the survival and inheritance of the Hyuga clan at a specific historical stage, but in later years has slowly been corrupted and degenerated into an outdated system used to maintain privileges and oppress the clan. If Sasuke is interested, If so, I can take the time to tell you the historical background and my evaluation of the merits and demerits of the clan separation system..."

Uchiha Itachi, who has become very accustomed to immersing himself in historical documents and materials, and conducting multi-faceted analysis of a thing through historical evidence that has gradually been sorted out into a clear context, pushed up his glasses and looked at Uchiha with great interest. Sasuke said.

"Wow, Nissan is starting again!"

As if he remembered something terrible, Uchiha Sasuke's expression suddenly became less happy. He originally wanted to put his forehead against his brother's and let his brother hug him for as long as possible. At this time, he also I couldn't help but start to look around, looking for excuses that would allow me to get away as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head. While putting Uchiha Sasuke down, he asked casually:

"So, apart from you and Neji competing for the top spot in your grade, is there anything interesting happening in the village, Sasuke?"

"Interesting thing..." Uchiha Sasuke frowned and thought hard for a while, then clapped his hands suddenly, smiled at Uchiha Itachi and said: "Well, in the first exam after enrolling, that guy Naruto... Is it interesting to get zero points in all subjects?"

"Cough, cough..."

Uchiha Itachi was so shocked by this news that he shouldn't have happened that he coughed several times. After finally regaining his breath, he asked with a surprised look on his face:

"Isn't that right? Although Naruto is a naughty and mischievous child, judging from the family traditions of Kushina-sama and Minato-sama, there is no way they would let Naruto do such a thing, right?"

"Who knows the specific reason," Uchiha Sasuke shrugged and said gloatingly: "Anyway, I heard that the day Naruto brought the transcript back, Kushina-sama's roar almost made the surrounding people patrol. The ANBU thought that someone was randomly using Kirigakure’s newly released advanced sonic ninjutsu in the village..."

Uchiha Itachi recalled the development scene of sonic ninjutsu that he had seen in Kirigakure Village. He suddenly had a general understanding of how angry Uzumaki Kushina was, and he felt sorry for Namikaze in his heart. After a moment of silence, he took out the gift he brought back specifically for Sasuke from the package he carried with him, and naturally changed the topic between the two again.

"By the way, Sasuke, this is the souvenir I brought back to you from Kirigakure Village. It's a ninja sword modeled after Shisui's tachi, Zan Huo. Although it hasn't been used yet, it can be used as an auxiliary weapon. If you practice some fire escape, it should be enough..."

Looking at the short sword wrapped in a dark scabbard that Itachi Uchiha took out, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes quickly became sparkling.

He took the ninja sword that had been modified to take into account his size and pulled it out. He looked at the dark red flame patterns on it, the little red sparks that naturally dispersed as the blade was unsheathed, and the almost complete The handle of the sword was customized according to my own preferences, and I immediately fell in love with this ninja sword that embodies my brother's feelings.

"Thank you Nissan!"

"As long as Sasuke likes it... By the way, is father at home today?"

"You should be here, right? After all, Nissan, you said you would come back today before, and there haven't been any particularly important matters in the clan that require my father to deal with recently... Is there any problem, Nissan?"

"Well, because this time, the Fourth Mizukage has given me a qualified evaluation. After I come back, I will officially graduate from the ninja school. Regarding future employment issues, I want to hear more from my father. My lord’s opinion.”

"Sounds like a very troublesome topic," Uchiha Sasuke shook his head and said with an uninterested expression: "If Nisan you were attending classes at Konoha Ninja School normally, you wouldn't have this kind of trouble... and ninjas Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone in the school to just become a registered genin in the village and then consider the specific development direction later?”

"You can do this, but as for me, I want to try a different path from others."

"Well, anyway, Nissan is recognized as a genius, so there should be nothing wrong with being willful..."

"You can't always think that you are still a child who can do whatever you want, Sasuke."

The two brothers chatted about these relaxed or not-so-easy topics while heading towards the new residence of the Uchiha clan.

What the two of them didn't notice was that in an alley with overlapping shadows that few people would pass by, a man wearing black clothes with blood flowing from his left eye fell from the void that was undulating like ripples. When he came out, an instrument that looked like a turtle was thrown out as he fell, sliding all the way to the other end of the alley.

"Huh? What is this? A turtle?"

A blond boy who happened to be passing by picked up the instrument from the ground, and subconsciously followed its trajectory, casting curious eyes into the alley.

Fuck, I uploaded the wrong volume...

But it’s not a big problem, and it shouldn’t affect the next reading… Hmm (guilty)
