At night, Mito was sleeping soundly in the carriage, but Kyosuke couldn't fall asleep at all.
Bang!
Two Kage Bunshin appeared, and he handed over two wine jugs with a smile.
"Have a drink with me."
Number Two took the wine jug and gulped it down in one big gulp.
Wiping the wine stains off his lips, Number Two slowly said, "Now that you've opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, you've truly entered the ranks of the top powerhouses."
"Become familiar with the use of the two Dōjutsu and try to awaken the third power. Then you will be able to make further progress."
"Yes." Number Three smiled foolishly, as if he was an irrelevant listener.
Even so, Kyosuke still felt a little comforted.
Even though they were just permanently preserved clones, they still made him feel that he was not alone.
There's no way, Kyosuke has too many secrets that he can't tell anyone.
System, points, Black Zetsu, Otsutsuki, and we will never be able to tell others that we live in a world created by comics.
There were too many unspeakable secrets that made him feel an irresistible sense of loneliness.
He even resists outsiders getting close to him because he is afraid of accidentally revealing the secret in his heart.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why he had awakened the abilities of the end and reversal of time.
"Yes, we need to start the next stage of our efforts." Kyosuke muttered to himself: "First, we need to find a way to solve the problem of pupil power depletion."
"Of course." Number Two took over and said calmly, "The seeds have been planted. When they bloom and bear fruit depends on your efforts."
"Oh right." Avatar No. 3, a bystander, interjected weakly, "Someone might ask you in the future why you opened the Mangekyō Sharingan..."
"Yes, we should find a suitable reason."
As they were thinking, the three of them looked at Mito who was sleeping soundly in the carriage.
Look, isn't the reason right in front of you?
That night, Kyosuke talked a lot with his two clones.
From how to defeat the Senju to establishing the power structure of Konoha Village.
It's not clear whether he gained anything or not, but he hasn't felt so happy for a long time.
Unconsciously, the negative emotions caused by opening the Mangekyō Sharingan gradually dissipated and did not have much impact on Kyosuke's mind.
The next day, Mito was surprised to find that the familiar Kyosuke had returned.
"Hey, Kyosuke, how about we go to Yunokuni and soak in the hot springs?"
"Your Highness, do you know how far this place is from the Land of Hot Springs?"
"What are you afraid of? With Hiraishin no Jutsu here, it's only a two-day journey."
"You sound very reasonable."
Unable to resist the girl's nagging, Kyosuke had no choice but to agree.
Relying on the time and space coordinates installed many years ago, the two crossed most of the territory of the Land of Fire within a day and successfully soaked in the hot springs before nightfall.
"You, why did you come in too?!"
"Please, this is a place where men and women can bathe together."
"But, but I..."
"Little bean sprout, I can't tell the difference between a boy and a girl without looking at their hair, why are you worrying about it?"
"Bastard Kyosuke, you're going to die!!!"
The happy time soon ended, and something happened that forced Kyosuke to end his vacation early.
There are reports from outside that the Rain Country's ninja army has been dispatched.
Overnight, the Hatake and Inuzuka families were defeated and their entire families fled.
In addition, the Fūma Clan colluded with foreign enemies and began a large-scale sweep of clan forces on the border of the Land of Fire.
Wherever the two groups of people passed, no grass grew. Not to mention the ninja clans, even ordinary towns were killed.
This was not a war between ninjas, but a large-scale massacre against the entire Land of Fire.
...
In the northwest of the Land of Fire, the Uchiha clan's frontier outpost.
Inside the tent, Uchiha Tajima sat firmly in a high position, with the returned Uchiha Madara on his left, and Uchiha Keisuke, whom he had focused on training, on his right.
The other legion leaders sat down separately, discussing how to deal with the Rain Country.
With the Inuzuka and Hatake defeated and the Fūma rebelling, the Uchiha would undoubtedly be the next to suffer.
And everyone also heard that the enemy could make additional use of corpses to create living puppets that looked like real people.
In other words, if the enemy cannot be defeated in one fell swoop, their power will only grow stronger.
If the Rain Country really massacres hundreds of thousands of people on the border, things will be really troublesome.
"Tell me what you think." Uchiha Tajima was not in a good mood.
Just when he was about to bring Kyosuke's army under his command, unexpectedly at the critical moment, news came that the real boss was still alive.
It's like you finally get into your female neighbor's house, but then the male owner calls and says he'll be home in ten minutes.
Just one word, it really spoils the fun.
The clan leader had a stern face and was not smiling. The people in the audience did not dare to act recklessly. No one wanted to become Tajima's cannon fodder.
In desperation, Tajima turned his gaze to his son: "Madara, what do you think?"
"It's very simple." Uchiha Madara silently scanned the crowd, his eyes filled with an indescribable sense of oppression: "Let's greet the enemy first. At least we need to find out where they are from."
"Qi, what do you think?" Tajima turned his head to look to the right, as if he intended to train this person to be his son's helper.
Unfortunately, Uchiha Keisuke had long seen through his true face and understood the importance of keeping a low profile.
Seeing the clan leader asking, he bowed slightly and said with a faint smile: "Young clan leader's suggestion is very good, I fully agree with it."
"Waste!" Tajima cursed in his heart. He suspected that the other party was scared silly by Kyosuke.
Now he hasn't come back yet and he's already like this. If he really shows up, wouldn't he dare to even fart in front of him?
After thinking for a moment, Tajima looked at Uchiha Maya at the end and said, "Why don't I give you the task of spying on the enemy."
"No need to go through so much trouble." A voice suddenly rang out outside the tent.
In an instant, everyone present changed their expressions slightly.
Some people were excited, some were hateful, and many had ambiguous looks in their eyes.
"Sir!" Ignoring the clan leader's expression as if he had eaten shit, Maya suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee towards the outside of the tent.
Not only was she excited, the entire camp began to become noisy.
"Master Kyosuke, it's Master Kyosuke who's back!"
"God bless me Uchiha, my lord is not dead!"
"Great, you're finally back."
"With your leadership, victory will surely be ours!"
Drive away the three mystic families, force back the Land of Whirlpool's army, and kill Senju Shinma...
One by one, Kyosuke's contributions were so great that most of the clan members remembered them clearly.
Amidst the cheers that echoed throughout the Sentry Port camp, Kyosuke lifted the curtain and helped Maya up with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work over the past year."
"Sir..." Maya's eyes were filled with tears and her voice was choked.
"Sit down, we'll talk when we get back."
After appeasing his most capable subordinate, Kyosuke ignored everyone's goodwill and walked to the front step by step.
Staring at Tajima who was forcing a smile, he turned around silently and looked at the silent Uchiha Keisuke.
"Can you please move aside for a moment? You're taking my seat."
