Naruto:The System's Shadow

The two strongest of the new generation of the Uchiha clan were wrestling together in the house without any grace, using all kinds of underhanded methods, no different from street brawlers.

They didn't know how long they fought, but both of them had used up the last bit of strength in their bodies. With two thuds, they fell on the wooden floor, their faces bruised and swollen, panting heavily.

Uchiha Madara touched his nose, and a sour pain mixed with an unspeakable strange feeling surged out. Tears flowed out uncontrollably.

"My nose is broken!" Because his nose was broken, his voice was a little strange.

Kaito hummed triumphantly, thinking that he had won. At least his nose wasn't broken, although his left eye had been punched solidly and was already swollen, and he couldn't open it now.

"You deserved it!" Kaito said.

Uchiha Madara didn't respond to him, but sighed and said, "But seriously, you kid are really heaven-defying. You have one ninjutsu after another that I've never seen before, such as the ninjutsu that can turn into crows, such as that chakra ball, especially that ninjutsu that jumps back and forth in space yesterday, it's really amazing. If it were me yesterday, I probably wouldn't have lasted even three seconds. Oh, there's something I almost forgot. Father asked me to call you to his room. There will be a clan meeting later, and I have to go too."

Uchiha Madara said it very calmly, but it made Kaito frown slightly. These words sounded very meaningful!

Suddenly, Kaito connected the whole thing and began to understand why the family chose to use him as bait in this matter. Clearly, with the Uchiha's strength, there were many ways to surround the other party silently.

Perhaps part of the reason was that this method was easy to use, but another reason was that the family was testing him. The family didn't trust him, or rather, didn't completely trust him.

As for the reason for not trusting him, it was probably related to these ninjutsu. However, it was understandable. Anyone who suddenly used ninjutsu that the family had never even recorded before would attract attention. Even if you said it was your own innovation, you were too young, right? Did you really think everyone was a fool? Did you think you were the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths!

Kaito sat up, propped up his chin, and pondered, asking, "What about Hyuga Tamamo and the others? Did you kill them yesterday? Was the Kage-level powerhouse who took action Hyuga Tenji?"

Madara also sat up, puzzled and said, "Kage-level powerhouse?" He was slightly stunned before realizing that he was referring to the clan leader-level powerhouse. He shrugged and said, "No, it was another old undead from the Hyuga clan. On the surface, the Hyuga clan only has two clan leader-level powerhouses, one is their clan leader Hyuga Tenji, and the other is the Great Elder of their clan, Hyuga Sojin. As for that Hyuga Tamamo, she was rescued, but one of the three elite jonin died, and one left behind an arm. The last one was seriously injured, and even that old undead Hyuga Sojin was beaten by father and spat out a mouthful of blood, but I don't know how his injuries are."

Kaito digested this information and analyzed it one by one. Now it seemed that there was a lot of information. Hyuga Sojin definitely hadn't just arrived last night, probably just lurking without showing himself. His uncle's quick reaction yesterday was probably not completely ignorant either.

"These big clans in the ninja world really can't be underestimated." After sighing in his heart, Kaito swept away the depression in his heart, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. This was how it was interesting.

Uchiha Madara got up and used chakra to repair the injuries on his face. They had been fighting with their fists and feet, so it looked scary on the surface, but they were actually just some skin injuries. It was easy to treat them with chakra, and not even a trace would be left.

"Hurry up and go, lest you make father wait anxiously. I have to go to the clan meeting later too."

Kaito also stood up, using chakra to disperse the congestion in his eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "I know."

Saying that, he walked out of the room, heading towards Uchiha Tajima's room, thinking about how to explain the ninjutsu he knew.

If you want to gain a foothold in the Warring States Period, various resources are indispensable, including land, food, population, ninjas, wealth, etc., but these are not as important as the two most important resources. Only by possessing these two resources can you become a first-class big clan.

The next generation and knowledge. The next generation doesn't need to be said much. Only by having enough of the next generation can your family prosper and continue to be passed down.

It's hard to say what knowledge is, but for ninja families, knowledge is ninjutsu.

Therefore, all families attach great importance to ninjutsu. Except for their own direct line, they will not easily spread it, especially the more advanced ninjutsu.

But Kaito was only five years old this year, but in the last battle with the Hyuga jonin, he had continuously revealed ninjutsu that had never been seen before, such as the Crow Clone and the Rasengan. No wonder the family would be suspicious.

He could insist that he was talented and self-created these two ninjutsu, but how could he explain the Flying Thunder God that he showed yesterday?

Also say it was self-created? Don't be ridiculous, even Kaito himself wouldn't believe that reason.

Thinking about these things, he unconsciously came to the outside of Uchiha Tajima's door.

Dismissing these messy thoughts from his mind, he opened the door and stepped in, seeing Uchiha Tajima kneeling at the table. He quickly stepped forward and saluted as a junior, respectfully saying, "Uncle!"

Uchiha Tajima always had a serious face. He nodded and said, "Sit."

Kaito knelt down extremely uncomfortably. He didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of this rigid clan leader Uchiha Tajima.

Uchiha Tajima took out a bag and a long sword from below and placed them on the table, saying, "You did well this time. This is your mission reward."

Kaito opened the bag and looked at it. It was full of silver-white coins, which were the common currency in the Warring States Period. He didn't count them and put them directly in his pocket, then picked up the long sword.

He gently pulled it out, and a cold light suddenly appeared, making people's eyes solemn. The sword body was about three layers, thin, light, and elegant. It was a rare good sword.

"This sword is called Ama no Murakumo, a replica of the legendary divine sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. Although it is only a replica, it is still a rare weapon. I saw that you have always used kunai and didn't have a handy weapon, so I'm giving it to you as a reward."

Kaito put it away and said, "Thank you."

Uchiha Tajima poured two cups of tea and pushed one to Kaito, saying, "I've heard about your performance last night. It's a matter of rejoicing for all of us Uchiha that a genius like you has appeared. However, where did you learn those strange ninjutsu? There must be an explanation. As far as I know, you haven't left the clan territory these years, so there's no way to talk about any chance encounters."

"Here it comes!" Kaito gently picked up the teacup, covering his expression, thinking about what to say in his heart.
