Chapter 34 Planting Trees in the Ninja Village (14) Is the expressionless attribute...?
Out of a sense of ritual and to leave the children with a final memory, the teacher told Senju Takeya and Uchiha Osaka in advance that they would have a graduation test the next day. The test was very simple: use the Shadow Clone Technique once.
The Shadow Clone Technique differs from the E-rank Shadow Clone Technique. The Shadow Clone Technique has no physical form and is merely an afterimage of the user, while the Shadow Clone Technique has a physical form and each clone possesses its own consciousness. Although it is easily broken in most cases during war, it is more practical and versatile, and its difficulty is B-rank.
For Uchiha Osaka, a B-rank ninjutsu that doesn't even require hand seals, it's a huge problem for Senju Takeya—Senju Takeya still can't use the Shadow Clone Technique. As for the Clone Technique, he can reproduce the same afterimage through pure, powerful physical strength.
Shadow Clone Technique and Transformation Technique, which are ninjutsu without natural properties, are completely outside of Senju Takeya's skill tree.
So after school, Uchiha Osaka took the boy to his house, intending to use the sealing ability of his right Mangekyou Sharingan to transfer his skills to Senju Takeya in advance. However, before transferring the skills, he needed to test whether his abilities could be used on Senju Takeya, since the boy's resistance was terrifyingly high.
During their sparring session at the sacred Mount Xilin, Uchiha Osaka discovered that his ninjutsu attacks couldn't even make a ripple on this person's body. His resistance was so high that he was almost immune to magic. He was simply an animal!
Uchiha Senma closed the window and drew the curtains, then activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and looked at Senju Takeya.
Qian Shouzhu also sat obediently and properly on the sofa, waiting solemnly.
"If we're going to seek thrills, let's go all the way! If we're going to play, let's play something awesome!" Uchiha Senjin let out a villainous laugh, pressing his hands down on Senju Takeya's shoulders, his beautiful Mangekyou Sharingan spinning wildly. "Hehehehehehe~ Don't resist~"
Senju Take nodded seriously, completely relaxed, and prepared to accept his best friend's test without any intention of resistance.
"I will seal away your expressionless face!" Uchiha Senji declared emphatically.
Qian Shouzhu's eyes widened instantly—was he really going to go this far?!
It was as if, after a period of quantum entanglement and confrontation, Uchiha Senma's sealing kaleidoscope took effect.
"I'm back—" Uchiha Shisui pushed open the door and entered, only to be met with a truly horrifying scene in the living room.
A faceless boy was groping around with his hands raised. The faceless boy's face only had the outline of features but no features. Judging from his clothes and hairstyle, he looked like Takeya-san. And next to him, whose eyes were spraying blood like a fountain, who else could it be but Senma-san?
The two older brothers I relied on and loved the most have become what they are now...
After confirming that what he was seeing was not an illusion, Uchiha Shisui instantly turned pale, his entire body blurring into a black and white image, screaming, "Aa ...
The little curly-haired boy's Sharingan, which had been activated by fear, transformed from a single tomoe to a triple tomoe, and he immediately fainted. One can imagine the severe psychological trauma that the scene before him inflicted on the fragile, brother-obsessed Uchiha.
Three minutes later, Senju Takeya's face popped out like jelly, and Uchiha Senma's eyes stopped gushing blood.
"These are really the Sage of Six Paths' stinky socks. True to form, being emotionless is indeed your unchangeable noble trait." Uchiha Osaka, his face deathly pale, trembled as he steadied himself by gripping the table. He felt utterly anemic. "Is this the world of anime? Seeing blood spurting from my eyes and being completely unharmed except for anemia..."
Senju Take also touched his face, which he had lost and then regained, feeling somewhat bewildered. He didn't think he was completely expressionless; he just had fewer expressions and less emotional expression, but he could make facial expressions perfectly well.
But it seems that 'expressionless' is already an inherent attribute of his. However, at least it's confirmed that the sealing ability of the fan can be used on him, as long as they don't go too far...
The two exchanged a glance, then looked toward the entrance hall, following the sound they had just heard.
"Zhishui!" Seeing his younger brother lying unconscious on the ground, the brother-obsessed man rushed over and picked him up.
“Brother…my brother…” Shisui woke up, raising his hand tremblingly, “I…I saw Takeya-nii without a face, and Ogi-nii with blood spurting from his eyes…”
Uchiha Shisui looked up and saw Uchiha Senma, whose face still had two wide bloodstains. He immediately realized that he was still in the hellish scene he had just witnessed, so he tilted his head and bent over again.
Uchiha Osaka cried out in anguish, "Shisui!!!"
At that moment, the most reliable person in the family, Senju Take, took out a towel, wet it, and smeared it on Uchiha Shisui's face to wipe away the blood. Then, he poured some cold water into his hand and splashed it on Uchiha Shisui's face. The little curly-haired boy immediately woke up with a start: "Brother!!!"
Uchiha Shisui gripped Uchiha Senma's hand tightly. "Senma-nii! Do you know what I just saw?! Was that some kind of super genjutsu targeting the Uchiha?!"
"No, that's all true." Uchiha Senji couldn't help but chuckle. "It was just a little test. It turns out that your Takeya-nii's magic resistance is terrifyingly high. Unless he's willing, the Uchiha Mangekyou Sharingan can't do anything to him."
"Huh?" Uchiha Shisui was dumbfounded. "Kaleidoscope?"
Uchiha Senma's eyes spun out a kaleidoscope that opened in response. Uchiha Shisui stared blankly at the incredibly beautiful and bizarre patterns before him. Overloaded, the little Uchiha lost consciousness once again and fell backward.
Senju Takeshi sprinkled water again to reset the cooling of Uchiha Shisui's brain, and Uchiha Shisui woke up with another sit-up. "Brother, you've awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?!"
Wouldn't that put his mind at ease a little about Senma-kun, who's about to be sent to the battlefield? He wouldn't have to be so worried anymore, right? After all, the Sharingan and the Mangekyou Sharingan are on completely different levels of power!
Uchiha Shisui was so excited that his eyes welled up with tears, and he hugged his brother, Genma, and burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your brother will always protect you." Uchiha Senma gently patted Shisui's back. "I will never fall, and you will all be alright. You have to believe in your brother."
"Hmm." Uchiha Shisui sobbed, "So what were Ogima-nii and Takeya-nii doing just now?"
"Let's see if my Mangekyou Sharingan can be used on your Takeya-nii. The answer is still pleasing." Uchiha Senma smiled and rubbed Shisui's head. "Go wash your face and change your clothes. Go play with Itachi. The Ninja War has started. That kid is sensitive and delicate. He must be very uneasy right now. Go keep him company. Don't worry about anything else. Just make sure you're safe."
"Okay..." The hug had stained Shisui with the blood from the fan's clothes. The curly-haired boy wiped his tears with embarrassment and ran off to wash his face and change his clothes.
After setting up the Shadow Clone Technique in Uchiha Senma, Senju Take was also going home.
After saying goodbye to his best friend, Senju Takeya had just returned to his clan's territory when he saw Tsunade standing at the street corner with her arms crossed.
"What's so special about the Uchiha clan's territory? You go there every day." Tsunade, who had decided to live in the clan's territory until her child came of age because of Senju Takeya, couldn't help but mutter to herself, "At this age, why are you still going there!"
"There is a fan room," Senju Take also frankly admitted.
"Why do you like that little devil so much?" Tsunade clicked her tongue.
Senju Take nodded, then asked, "What does Aunt Tsunade want with me?"
If someone else called her "Auntie," Tsunade would definitely punch them hard, but it's true that Senju Takeru also calls her "Auntie." The Wood Release user calls her by her proper age and manner.
“The Book of Sealing has been obtained by Uncle Aoki and the others and is already at your home. Remember to study it as much as you can when you get home. Learn as much as you can. The winds can change on the battlefield, and Wood Release alone may not be enough to defend against all of the enemy’s methods.” Tsunade paused, her expression becoming heavy and bitter. “You will soon be sent to the battlefield, and I am powerless to change the Hokage’s decision… Before that, every trump card you have is a trump card.”
Senju Takeshi remained silent. How could he dare to look at those forbidden techniques when he couldn't even use Shadow Clone Jutsu? However, he still had to respect his grandparents' wishes, so the Wood Release user nodded in agreement. He would carefully study them and share them with Senma. The Book of Sealing would be more useful in Senma's hands than in his.
Okay, that's decided.
Meanwhile, the Senju members are unaware that their seemingly obedient and gentle but actually rebellious Koki, whose nature is not much less ruthless than Uchiha Osaka's, has already silently decided on the location of the Book of Seals.
Senju Takeya successfully cheated on the Ninja Academy's graduation exam, and Uchiha Osaka breathed a huge sigh of relief. If it were in his previous life, he would never have imagined that he would have a day when he helped his best friend cheat.
Upon graduation, Uchiha Osaka and Senju Take were separated and dispatched to the battlefield. Uchiha Osaka went to the main battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure, while Senju Take was sent to the main battlefield where they fought against Kirigakure.
"Are you alright?" Before parting, Uchiha Osaka looked worriedly at his gentle and peaceful best friend. He knew Takeya's personality well. No matter how strong he was, unless he had a great grudge and had no choice but to do something, he was the type of person who would not want to hurt others if he could avoid doing so.
Senju Take also shook his head to indicate that he was fine. His gaze towards Uchiha Senma remained unchanged. "Don't worry."
“Actually, I could easily kill them all by myself right now.” Uchiha Senma laughed as he spoke, revealing his sharp canine teeth, making him look even more like a young, ferocious beast. “It’s my first time on the battlefield, and I’m actually a little nervous.”
Senju Take nodded in understanding, then took out a box and handed it to Senma.
"This is...?" Uchiha Hanamichi paused, his fierce expression faltering.
"The Book of Seals, Grandpa Aoki and the others want it back," Senju Take said calmly.
Uchiha Senji quickly tucked the box into his robes. "Ahem! You don't understand this thing? Give it to me, I'll do it!"
Senju Take nodded, his face expressionless, but you could see a smile in his eyes through his fan. Uchiha scratched his face helplessly, then breathed a sigh of relief and softened his tone: "No need to force yourself to kill. It's good enough to catch him for the ransom."
"Mmm," Senju Take replied obediently.
Uchiha Osaka, who replaced Uchiha Shisui in the original storyline, glanced at his best friend one last time and couldn't help but laugh, "Let's go! Let's end the Third Shinobi World War!"
“Oh—” Senju Takeya echoed without any change in emotion.
Uchiha Osaka: "The 'three-no' attribute really lowers one's aura..."
Senju Takeya: "Oh..."

Author's Note: I saw comments about the issue of subjective indoctrination. I didn't think too much about it when I was writing, just going with the flow. However, when I was posting, I had already written a lot of drafts. Even after making revisions, various ideological contradictions still arose when I posted earlier chapters. This also meant that when the comments section asked for more interaction between Indra and Takeya, I couldn't immediately adjust their scenes. Sometimes, even our present selves can't understand our past selves. I will pay attention to these issues and gradually improve.
I've already revised the previous chapter (edited at 4:56:55 PM), and it should be better now. Thank you all for following along! Thank you for liking this book, for commenting and encouraging me, and for giving me feedback and helping me find errors. Love you all!
