Chapter 54 Retirement in Peacetime (3) The Super-Perky Boxer Shorts Again...
Upon hearing Fugaku Uchiha recount such a detailed history of the Uchiha clan for the first time, Osaka Uchiha immediately fell into a state of cosmic cat-like contemplation, "So, we worship the mountain god of Mount Kirin?!"
The mountain god of Xilin Mountain, isn't he his best friend?!
"You didn't know before? That's understandable, it's normal for kids your age not to know." Uchiha Fugaku tried his best to ignore the horse on Uchiha Senma's back, because the magnificent and ethereal white horse with its flowing white coat was already looking back at him with its diamond-like, translucent silver eyes, giving him a sharp 'What are you looking at?' look!
Such a sharp and intimidating gaze! No wonder he's a Wood Release user!
As Kaguya Kiri listened to Fugaku Uchiha's account, he fell into thought. He had only known that Mount Kirin was the master's residence, but he did not know that there was such a past.
The Uchiha clan members tried their best to divert attention.
The horse, perched on the young chieftain's back, assumed a thinking posture… Oh no, I can't take my eyes off it! Is this a test for them?! What a powerful mental attack—
One by one, Uchiha clansmen, some clutching their faces and others their stomachs, trembled and collapsed on the steps, easily defeated and silently falling behind.
Young clan leader, don't worry about them... just let them catch up after a while...
Uchiha Senjiro looked at Senju Takeya and, as expected, met his best friend's gaze. He silently looked away. It turned out that the god he had knelt and kowtowed to was indeed his best friend.
You abandoned me and suddenly became a god's best friend. How dare I, a mere mortal, touch your noble self?
What's most infuriating is that even after I kowtowed, you, as my best friend, didn't give me any special treatment—to fulfill my wish that Shimura Danzo be killed by a falling meteorite!
Senju Take also shifted his gaze, selectively ignoring the faint, satisfied chuckle that only he could hear from his younger brother hiding in his collar.
Indra: That's right! That's how it should be! Our Uchiha's Kami is our elder brother! I acknowledge your judgment and loyalty, juniors!
In this delicate atmosphere, Fugaku Uchiha remained silent. The group arrived at the shrine in silence, where the Uchiha elder was already waiting. Out of respect for the god of peace and abundance, weapons were not allowed inside, so Takeya Senju and Ogima Uchiha removed their equipment.
Kaguya Kiriya finally had a way out. As soon as he was taken off, he transformed back into human form. He looked at Senju Takeya with reluctance, and Senju Takeya waved to him. He could only follow the Uchiha priestess who was waiting on the side to the place where the 'horse' should be.
It's all the [Ninja World's] fault! Master, wait for him! As long as they are far enough apart, wait another minute or two, and the Ninja World's evil filter program will adjust, and his presence will return to non-existent. Then he can sneak in silently!
Led by the Uchiha Elder, Uchiha Ogima and the others successfully entered the shrine and paid their respects.
"It's a very strange feeling to worship yourself," Senju Takeya thought to himself.
"I want to be resurrected and become an Otsutsuki! I ...!"
His best friend, Uchiha Osaka, had already openly told him his wish.
Senju Takeru also mercilessly delivered a "friendship-based wake-up call" to Uchiha Senma.
Next, on this solemn occasion celebrating the rebirth of the Uchiha clan, the Uchiha elder took out an incredibly ancient red lacquered box from a hidden compartment under the shrine's floor tiles and solemnly handed it to Uchiha Ogima: "This is a priceless treasure passed down from ancient times by the Uchiha clan, and now it is being passed on to you."
"The Uchiha's most treasured possession? What is it?" Uchiha Senji asked, puzzled.
"We don't know what's inside. To protect it during the war, it has always been protected by a powerful sealing technique. Only a destined person or someone strong enough can unlock it," said the Uchiha Elder. "All we know is that it contains a defensive ninja tool whose strength is no less than that of the three great spiritual swords: the Totsuka Blade, the Kusanagi Blade, and the Furuu Blade."
"Sealing techniques? I'm an expert at that!" He could simply seal the sealing technique directly. Uchiha Osaka immediately executed this nested operation: as long as the person who set the seal was weaker than him, his seal would take effect, and the result was, as expected, successful.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the red-lacquered wooden box was slowly opened—
"Hmm~~~~~~~↗"
Accompanied by those eerie and flamboyant sound effects, you're greeted by a barrage of impactful pink bubbles and hearts.
Uchiha Ogima, who was closest to the impact: ? !!!
The other Uchiha members around them: ? !!!
This thing is our family's heirloom?! How eerie!
Thousand Hands Takeya: !!!
Little Platinum: !!!
Indra: !!!
If it weren't for the fact that my elder brother made this thing himself, I, Indra, would definitely kill this pair of shapely buttocks!
Uchiha Hanashi's hand trembled, and he lost his grip on the wooden box, which fell and crashed to the ground.
duang~? duang~?
That was the bouncy sound of the super-perky buttocks boxer shorts. Seeing that it was about to bounce out, Indra could no longer bear it. He leaped out of his elder brother's collar and then delivered a swift and accurate knight's kick, kicking down the box lid along with it, slamming the source of all evil into the box.
Super perky boxer shorts: Hmm~~~~~~↗↗↗
Such blasphemous things should not appear in my elder brother's shrine!
The shrine fell into a long silence as it watched the tiny, pure white figure with a fierce expression standing on the box, seemingly irreconcilably opposed to what was inside.
"Look, our resurrected ancestor." Uchiha Senjiro conjured up a series of flourishes with his hands, displaying his ancestor like a livestream host showcasing a product. "Uchiha Indra! Formerly known as Otsutsuki Indra, the genuine eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths!"
"So it was our Uchiha's ancestor—ah?!"
Incredulous shouts rose and fell, leaving even the elders dumbfounded, their expressions completely out of control.
"Really?" Fugaku Uchiha was incredulous. Indra was indeed the name of the Uchiha ancestor recorded in the ancestral records, but it was the Uchiha triplets, Uchiha Yuki, Uchiha An, and Uchiha Ken, who truly established the Uchiha clan.
However, Uchiha Indra is a great man who left his mark on history because he built the legendary city of Hiryoku. He is also the earliest trace left by the Uchiha clan in history. Although the records about Uchiha Indra that have been passed down to this day are extremely brief, a few words are enough to show his strength and foresight.
Xilin City, known as a legendary city because of its beauty, has inspired countless people who have read about it during the long Warring States period to imagine its prosperity and beauty, yet they are unable to capture even a fraction of its essence.
"It's true! It's more real than gold!" Uchiha Osaka didn't know how to prove that his ancestor was indeed his ancestor. "So, his ancestor showed them his eyes?"
Indra knew he had let his guard down and exposed himself. Since the Uchiha here were all central figures in the clan, he accepted reality and demonstrated the Rinnegan from one tomoe to three tomoe and then to the 'flower bloom' stage. He also showed off the Rinne Sharingan and explained each stage.
"Ancestors!!!" The Uchiha clan members exclaimed as if they had seen their own father crawl out of his grave.
Thousand Hands Bamboo: ?
Are we just going to accept it like that? Facing such a tiny and adorable Indra?
Uchiha Osaka: Don't you understand the bond of blood? The resonance of blood! As for why I acknowledged the other party as my ancestor rather than an ordinary clansman, it's purely because my ancestor was too strong. With the intimidating power of those two Rinnegan, who would dare to deny the authenticity of that power?
Seeing his best friend's eyes and gestures, Senju Takeshi also thought of the Uchiha who, contrary to their coldness and aloofness, were always exceptionally tolerant and warm towards him—that's right, he was also a beneficiary of this bond and resonance, after all, he was the one who planted and raised the Uchiha triplets.
In fact, the reason why the Uchiha trusted them was quite simple.
—Strength is the foundation upon which the Uchiha clan accepts someone.
He's already that strong! Strong enough to need to bluff you?! With eyes like that, ruling the Uchiha clan wouldn't be a problem, right? And he even flew out from the Wood Release Master's collar! Don't you believe the Wood Release Master?! So believe him!
Seeing through the entire thought process of the Uchiha clan at a glance, Uchiha Senma curled his lip in displeasure. He was reluctant to admit that he was indeed no match for the Mini Ancestor at this stage. He picked up the box, decided what to do with it, and knew that he would never use it, absolutely never!
Therefore, high-end products that are not used should naturally be placed in the bank—
Just kidding.
Well, let's take this as Obito Uchiha's resurrection gift~ That kid is indeed weak and needs some defensive measures. As for where to add defensive attributes, don't worry about that!
"Does the ancestor want to move back to the clan?" the Uchiha elder asked.
“No, I want to live with my elder brother,” Indra said decisively.
Following the sudden resurrection of the ancestor, another bombshell has dropped.
"So you wanted to live with your older brother—ah?! Your older brother?!"
Senju Takeya noticed that everyone's eyes were on him and didn't know where to begin explaining, so he could only say dryly, "The Senju and Uchiha are connected by blood, originating from the two children of the Sage of Six Paths. The Uchiha originated from Indra, and the Senju originated from Ashura Otsutsuki."
"So, how old are you this year?" Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but ask.
"...I can't remember." One of Senju Takeya's great qualities is honesty.
"It was my elder brother who raised me." As for the fact that Thousand Hand Bamboo had also resurrected him, Indra knew without a second thought that he couldn't say it, but then, as if to prove something, the little immortal added solemnly, "Although my elder brother is indeed closer to Ashura in terms of bloodline, my elder brother only loves me! It was that shameless guy who used my elder brother's surname!"
At this point, Indra's expression turned extremely ugly. Although he realized that this was an inevitable event caused by the time loop, he was indeed disgusted for a long time after learning that his elder brother's "thousand hands" were Ashura's "thousand hands"—disgusted by Ashura's thoughts and actions.
Ashura, if this was intentional, then you succeeded!
That despicable Asura! Why can't I just disappear from his world completely?! Why does he have to try to leave a trace in his life even after he's dead?! Disgusting! Makes me want to vomit!
The Uchiha clan members, on the other hand, were lost in thought on a cosmic level.
Closer blood ties... Does this mean that the Wood Release Master is from Ashura Otsutsuki's mother's side of the family?
Judging from the ancestor's tone and expression, his relationship with Asura was extremely bad, so could these two be half-siblings?
Could it be that the Uchiha and Senju clans have been fighting each other since the Ninjutsu era?!
Indra disapproves of, and even despises, his half-brother Asura, but is exceptionally attached to Asura's cousin from his mother's side, calling him "elder brother" repeatedly... Hiss—
The Uchiha, who were adept at analyzing intelligence from the smallest details, gasped in shock.
What a complicated relationship! The gossip from our ancestors is truly fascinating!
Strange anecdotes thus increased.
"So, ancestors, you—"
“When Indra and I left, the Ninja Clan still existed.” Senju Take also recalled that he had been living in seclusion for many years and only vaguely remembered some messages that the plants had given him. “And it got along very peacefully with Xilin City, and the lords of the various city-states were also very well-behaved.”
Xilin City is developing very well, so he is very relieved.
The world will not stop functioning just because someone is missing, and the structure and operation of Xilin City are already very mature and complete.
“After I moved my elder brother’s residence, Mount Xilin, those guys started to get restless, and the war began.” Indra had seen through them when he heard Fugaku Uchiha recount the history of the Uchiha clan on the steps. “Hmph, those hopeless lords.”
The Uchiha clan members gasped again, realizing they were contributing to global warming.
Were Mount Xilin and its mountain god actually real?! Wait a minute?! The god they worship is a Wood Release user?!
ah? !
ah--? ! ! ! !
No wonder the First Hokage and Senju Take were both Wood Release users, yet they couldn't help but feel affection and reverence for Senju Take! It turns out that he was the true god of Wood Release!
Ancestors, it's one thing for you to have a bad relationship, but why did you leave such a complicated relationship for your descendants?! From the Warring States period... no, from the Ninju period, we fought to the death with the Senju, but in the end, we were not only originally from the same family, but the god that the Uchiha have devoutly worshipped for hundreds of years is even the Wood Release God!
That's right, Xilin Xilin... This name sounds like something out of a Wood Release novel!
With such a powerful past, they temporarily forgot about the rather ominous defensive ninja tools.
Upon recalling the close friendship between Senju Takeya and Uchiha Ougi, the elder Uchiha blurted out, "A friendship that transcends age!"
Their little clan leader is really something!
Uchiha Osaka could only offer a polite smile. He and his best friend were clearly of the same generation, but now everyone knew his best friend had become his ancestor. Satisfied now?! The ninja world! You cold-hearted world! He never wanted to speak to you again!
“How about Takeya—hiss! The mountain god, come and stay with us Uchiha?” Fugaku Uchiha, who had been pinched by the elder next to him, quickly changed his way of addressing Takeya Senju.
"No, there are still elderly people to take care of in the Senju clan's territory. Just call me as usual. I am not a true god. I was only respected because I protected the Xilin people for a period of time." Senju Take also shook his head and refused. Then, looking at the Uchiha, he said seriously, "Thank you for your trust. I will have Indra move Xilin Mountain out later."
Although there's a saying that 'reality is often the most shocking,' Senju Takeshi was still surprised that the Uchiha clan could believe such an absurd thing without hesitation.
However, precisely because of this, Senju Takeshi did not want to betray this almost unconditional trust, so he thought of a way to prove this fact, and Mount Kirin was probably the only existence that could directly prove his past, after all, there were records of it in the Uchiha ancestral records.
"As expected." Senju Take's eyes curved slightly, the boy's deep black eyes revealing a soft, cotton-candy-like emotion. "No matter what era it is, I will always fall in love with the Uchiha."
The Uchiha with their exceptional eyesight: (clutching their hearts) Lord Mountain God—
Uchiha Ogima: (Clutching his heart) Uchiha, you little brat—
Indra: (covering his heart) Elder brother—
Uchiha Osaka: So our low defense against bamboo is entirely inherited from you, our ancestor!
Uchiha triplets: (clutching their hearts) Uncle—
Uchiha Osaka: Damn it! Did I just see three ghosts crawl out of the Pure Land and then die back to their deaths with a look of utter contentment?!

Author's Note: [Quick Info]
The Uchiha clan in this story possesses Senju Takeya's chakra, albeit in a very small and imperceptible amount, and it diminishes with each generation. Nevertheless, it still influences their physical and mental well-being to some extent. Compared to the Uchiha clan in the original storyline, the differences in this story's Uchiha clan are as follows:
Their emotions are more stable and gentle (they will genuinely work hard and patiently in farming, and they can even compete to see who can farm better; as long as you're right, they'll listen attentively and reflect on your actions). They might be a bit silly in daily life, and they easily believe whatever people they trust say (every Uchiha man firmly believes in the ancestral saying that sitting too much will kill your butt, and they're inexplicably concerned about whether their butts are dead or not; don't worry about it, they genuinely feel that this is very important).
The Sharingan awakening process is not so demanding or extreme in terms of emotions (it has a chance of awakening when having nightmares, being frightened, or being at a disadvantage in a game of ping-pong; the ways to awaken the Sharingan are varied. In fact, during the Warring States period, a Senju character awakened the Sharingan by verbally abusing an entire Uchiha team. After escaping death, he was severely beaten by his clan members who learned of his death upon returning to his clan).
He doesn't have the problem of bloodline diseases (therefore, the Uchiha Itachi in this article is a healthy Itachi), but he can still go blind if he overuses his eyes (the Uchiha during the Ninjutsu era could recover after resting for a while even if they went blind, and their recovery ability in all aspects was amazing, but they were greatly weakened in the mid-to-late Sengoku period, and they were even worse during the Ninja Village period. Overuse of the Sharingan will cause him to go completely blind, but there will be no other side effects).
In this regard, Ken Uchiha, one of the Uchiha triplets, is the most qualified to speak on the matter. Some unofficial histories even suggest that Ken Uchiha should have taken the surname Senju (Ken Uchiha: Taking my uncle's surname? That makes sense!).
The first group of Xilin people also received similar benefits from consuming the fruits and herbs of Xilin Mountain over a long period of time. However, their buffs were not as long-lasting or powerful as those of the Uchiha clan, but they still lived to be a hundred years old, and some were even able to work in the fields when they were close to death.
