Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

Chapter 181 The Second Elder's Gift, Manual Labor Equivalent to Physical Training?



"You should be glad you are a Konoha ninja. Otherwise, a worthless piece of trash like you who knows no respect would already be dead after uttering a second sentence of nonsense."

Ryun's tone was icy. Seeing the Root ninja's panicked expression and lack of resistance, he slowly withdrew his foot that had been forcefully stomping on the other.

The Root ninja wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, not daring to meet the gaze of those strange Three Tomoe Sharingan eyes. He stood up and left without saying another word.

Watching his retreating figure, Ryun's eyes remained cold as frost. That old man Danzo summoning him alone definitely meant no good.

However, he had no choice but to go. After all, in terms of status, Danzo's position was second only to the Hokage, and he did have the authority to issue orders to other ninjas.

Since he had already made plans to visit the night market with Asuka and Kushina in the evening, he had set the meeting time for 10 p.m. This person had come looking for trouble, and Ryun felt completely justified in teaching him a lesson.

Even if Danzo learned about this incident and was unhappy, it didn't matter. Right now, Ryun's reputation was at its peak, and he truly wasn't afraid of Danzo coming to cause trouble for him.

Of course, if Danzo had any sense, he probably wouldn't break ties with Ryun over a mere subordinate being beaten.

Turning the corner near his home, Ryun immediately saw the purple-haired beautiful woman waiting for him at the door.

Though it was already dark, Asuka, as usual, waited at the doorstep when her child hadn't returned home by nightfall.

"Mom..."

"Why are you back so late again? Dinner's already on the table."

"That's perfect... can start eating as soon as I get home." Ryun replied with a playful grin.

"Go wash your hands first..."

"Okay okay..."

After finishing a hearty dinner, Ryun saw the three ninjutsu scrolls sent by the Uchiha Second Elder in the living room.

After brewing a cup of fragrant tea for himself and Asuka, Ryun sat on the sofa and began examining the ninjutsu scrolls.

"This was delivered by an Uchiha clansman this afternoon. When he found no one home, he left the scrolls at the flower shop, saying they were gifts from the Second Elder." Asuka said as she finished washing the dishes, watching Ryun study the scrolls intently.

"I know."

Ryun responded without looking up.

Among the three ninjutsu scrolls, two were high-level fire release techniques, and one was a high-level Sharingan genjutsu.

The two high-level fire release techniques were the B-rank 'Great Fire Annihilation' and the A-rank 'Dragon Flame Singing Technique'.

Both these fire release techniques required massive amounts of chakra to perform, and were two of the powerful techniques used by the reanimated Madara in the original story.

One was a large-scale area attack technique, while the other was a single-target high-speed long-range attack technique. Both high-level fire releases were highly practical.

Especially the A-rank 'Dragon Flame Singing Technique'. Though its power wasn't as high as the B-rank 'Great Fire Annihilation', this move was extremely fast. In the original story, it was said to have nearly a 100% hit rate. Ordinary people encountering it would have no choice but to take it head-on, as dodging was almost impossible.

During the Fourth War, when Mizukage Mei encountered this technique, she didn't even have time to form hand seals for a water release counter. In the critical moment, it was Tsunade who took the hit for her with her own body.

Due to requiring extremely advanced fire control skills, this technique was also ranked one level higher than 'Great Fire Annihilation'.

'Great Fire Annihilation' was relatively easier to learn, but had strict requirements on the user's chakra reserves. Few could unleash this technique's full potential, and few could afford its chakra consumption.

In the original story, only Madara dared to use it as an opening move. Its terrifying power was evident when a whole row of ninjas jointly performed water release techniques just to match Madara's fire release. Remember, water was supposed to counter fire...

After carefully reading through the two high-level fire releases, Ryun picked up the third scroll.

This was a high-level Sharingan genjutsu called 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes'. The conditions for using this genjutsu were the Three Tomoe Sharingan and strong ocular power.

In the original story, the user of this high-level genjutsu was Uchiha Itachi, and the victim who experienced it was Ryun's good teacher - the Cold-Blooded Orochimaru...

Uchiha Itachi, not adhering to martial ethics, immediately used his Sharingan to unleash a high-level genjutsu, resulting in the pitiful scene of a veteran Kage-level fighter like Orochimaru being 'instantly killed'...

The three high-level techniques gifted by the Uchiha Second Elder greatly satisfied Ryun. Mastering these three techniques would undoubtedly provide a significant boost to his strength.

While Ryun was engrossed in the scrolls, Kushina arrived after finishing her dinner.

The three sat in the living room for a while. After Ryun finished reading the genjutsu scroll, they set out together for the bustling Konoha night market.

The two women found everything fresh and exciting as they shopped, chattering nonstop along the way. Asuka in particular kept buying nonstop...

Ryun followed behind, serving as the miserable human shelf, his hands full of shopping bags and goods, with several more bags hanging around his neck...

"Are you two not ashamed? Making me carry so much stuff. Had I known, I wouldn't have come..."

Looking at the empty-handed women, Ryun complained indignantly, feeling they were being quite unreasonable.

"What's the problem? What's wrong with carrying some things? It's just some manual labor. Why complain? Normally we see you running around carrying sandbags without any complaints. How come carrying some shopping makes you tired?"

Asuka stopped walking and fired off a series of questions.

"That's right, that's right. Just treat it as weight training!" Kushina chimed in.

"..."

For a moment, Ryun suddenly felt his mother and Kushina might have a point.

Training was exhausting, and now carrying all these miscellaneous items was also exhausting. So he might as well consider it as post-dinner physical training...

With this thought, Ryun's mood immediately balanced out.

The three shopped from one end of Konoha's bustling market street to the other. It wasn't until nearly 9:30 p.m. that Ryun suggested heading home.

Though the two women were enjoying themselves and thought it somewhat early to return, when Ryun mentioned having business to attend to, they agreed to go back.

Upon arriving home, Ryun dropped the goods and gasped for breath several times. Accompanying women on a shopping trip was more exhausting than a full set of physical training exercises. Right now, his whole body ached with fatigue.

"Nana, which of these things are yours? Quickly pick them out so I can take you home and deliver them. It's getting late..."

Pointing at the array of goods on the floor, Ryun instructed.

"Okay okay, wait a moment, let me look..."

Knowing Ryun had matters to attend to, Kushina didn't delay, quickly picking out her belongings from the pile.

About 90% of the purchases belonged to the free-spending Asuka, with the remaining 10% being items she bought for Kushina.

Soon, Kushina finished selecting her things, and the two set out for the Uzumaki clan compound.

In the underground Root headquarters:

As the clock approached 10 p.m., Danzo looked up at the wall clock, his face twitching slightly as clear anger rose in his heart.
