A veteran of the ninja world: surviving from the Six Paths of Heroes to Boruto

The setting sun shone on the Thousand Hands Clan.

Senju Shuichi stood alone on the edge of the cliff, leaning on his smooth wooden cane.

The wind swept the withered grass across Shuichi's face.

Shuichi Senju's later years were lonely.

The death of Uchiha Izumiichi became a permanent scar on his heart.

From the day his best friend left, Shuichi could no longer muster the will to fight, nor did he have the heart to raise the Senju clan banner again and lead his people into endless war.

The ninjas who once dominated the battlefield are now only filled with exhaustion and melancholy.

"When will this cycle of revenge end...?"

Shuichi Senju's voice murmured softly, dissipating in the howling wind.

Shuichi Senju gazed at the distant, rolling mountains, the land where the Senju and Uchiha had fought for years, every inch of which was soaked in the blood of the two clans.

Shuichi Senju's decision to cease hostilities was neither out of cowardice nor out of inability to continue fighting.

Instead, he witnessed decades of vendettas and finally saw the cruel truth.

The hatred between the two races had already taken root amidst the clash of swords. If this endless fighting continued, the conflict would only escalate and eventually become an intractable knot.

"It's a pity that if Izumi and I had realized this sooner, it could have been avoided..."

"I regret it," said Senju Shuichi.

At that time, what awaits the Senju and Uchiha is only a desperate situation of mutual destruction, or even mutual annihilation.

His true intention in laying down his weapons and ending the war was to resolve the century-old feud between the Senju and Uchiha clans.

Therefore, instead of overwhelming the Uchiha clan with his superior strength, Senju Shuichi wanted to gradually reconcile with them.

Unfortunately, this hope for reconciliation never came to fruition.

Time takes its toll, and illness plagues the body.

When his life was nearing its end, Senju Shuichi died alone in his clan's quarters.

At this point, a full fifteen years had passed since Uchiha Izumi's death.

------

Ten years after Shuichi Senju's death...

Incense smoke wafted from the central altar of the Uchiha clan's territory.

The Uchiha clan is gathered here to hold a clan ceremony to pay homage to the Sage of Six Paths.

The tribespeople were dressed in uniform, their expressions solemn. Only in a secluded corner at the edge of the altar did a malice lurk, utterly out of place with this peaceful atmosphere.

"Get lost, you little beggar! You have no parents, yet you dare to show your face here!"

"A Uchiha like you is not worthy to pay homage to the Sage of Six Paths' tablet; you've sullied his eyes!"

Three sharp shouts shattered the silence as three slightly stronger Uchiha children surrounded a thin, frail figure, punching and kicking him.

The dull thuds of fists and feet landing on bodies rang out one after another, and the children's faces were full of disdain and bullying pleasure.

After a blatant act of bullying, the three men turned and left, cursing and swearing, leaving the child with the thin list slumped on the ground.

The Uchiha adults watching from a distance saw everything clearly, but none of them stepped forward to stop it. They all coldly looked away, turning a blind eye.

In the Uchiha clan, who valued bloodline and family background, a helpless orphan was never worth anyone's attention.

(PS: Judging from the part about Uchiha Hikaru, the Uchiha orphans were really bad off. Even a powerful Uchiha orphan like Hikaru was treated as a tool. It's hard to imagine what the other weaker Uchiha orphans suffered.)

After a few seconds of silence, the boy on the ground slowly pushed himself up and stood up little by little.

He raised his hand and patted the dust and footprints off his clothes. His youthful face remained calm and expressionless.

His name is Uchiha Kitsune, and he is the most inconspicuous orphan in the Uchiha clan.

Having lost both parents and ancestors, with no relatives or friends, he was as insignificant as dust in the clan.

"Cough cough cough... These bastards really went all out."

"When I become powerful in the future, I will definitely not let you off!"

Uchiha Fox gritted her teeth

But he kept this overwhelming anger hidden deep in his heart, his face remaining expressionless.

He was far more mature than his peers, and had long since seen through the coldness and cruelty of the clan.

The Uchiha clan is a clan that reveres strength.

For an orphan as weak and worthless as myself, being given some food is already a blessing.

With no one to rely on, he had no means of resistance; his only way out was to endure.

Uchiha Kitsune raised his hand to wipe away the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, silently walked to the incense table, picked up a stick of incense and lit it.

He bowed respectfully before the shrine of the Sage of Six Paths, gently inserted incense into the incense burner, and offered a sincere prayer in his heart:

"May the Sage of Six Paths bless me, grant me a bright future, and bestow upon me immense power..."

.........

Late at night, Uchiha Kitsune tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

"Why...why don't I have a mom and dad...?"

Uchiha Kitsune silently shed tears, and then, feeling depressed, he ran alone outside the clan's territory.

Uchiha Kitsune didn't feel much belonging to the Uchiha clan; on the contrary, she felt some aversion towards them.

But I can only curse in my heart...

Uchiha Fox sat alone by the river, listening to the flowing water.

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

Following the sound, Uchiha Fox stealthily approached the tree and discovered a girl practicing in an open space ahead.

"drink!"

Suddenly, the girl leaped into the air, and blue chakra appeared on her fist!

Just one punch!

"boom!"

It instantly shattered the boulder in front of it.

"Hiss... What's this?"

When Uchiha Fox saw this, his pupils contracted.

Instantly, I knew that this was the monstrous strength of the Senju clan!

"Have all the Senju clan members become so arrogant? Now they even dare to train near the doorstep of our Uchiha clan..."

Uchiha Fox frowned slightly.

Since the death of Uchiha Izumi, the head of the Uchiha clan, forty-six years ago, the Uchiha clan has been at a disadvantage, and even after the death of Senju Shuichi, the Uchiha clan has remained at a disadvantage.

The Senju clan almost completely dominated the Uchiha clan.

"Let's get out of here quickly. If this girl finds me, I, an Uchiha, am doomed..."

Uchiha Kitsune pondered for a moment, then quickly left.

At the very moment Uchiha Fox Movement

"Crunch!"

A crisp sound rang out!

Uchiha Kitsune suddenly lowered his head!

"The password? How come there's a tree branch here?!"

The next second, Uchiha Fox felt a gust of wind rush towards him!

"Who?!"

The Senju girl let out a cold shout and instantly appeared behind Uchiha Kitsune!

Uchiha Kitsune was just a weakling.

How could they withstand the attack of the Thousand-Handed Girl?

The next second, Uchiha Fox was grabbed by the Senju girl.

This time, Uchiha Fox saw the girl's face clearly.

The girl was pretty, with a high ponytail. Although she was about the same age as Uchiha Kitten, she was much taller than Kitten.

"Who are you?"

The girl with a thousand hands frowned slightly.

Uchiha Kitsune closed his eyes, appearing completely at their mercy.

"It's over... Am I going to die such a pathetic death?"

Uchiha Kitsune did not struggle.

Just when Uchiha Kitsune thought he was about to die.

"Who are you?"

The girl with a thousand hands asked, frowning.

"I...I was just passing by..."

"Uchiha Fox said with a struggle."

The pressure on my neck suddenly eased.

The girl's tense body finally relaxed, and she spoke to Uchiha Fox: "So you're just a passerby. You're not an Uchiha, so you should leave quickly. There are Uchiha around here."

Uchiha Kitsune quickly got up from the ground and thanked the girl repeatedly, his voice filled with relief at surviving a close call: "Thank you! May I ask your name?"

"My name is Uzuki. For certain reasons, I cannot reveal my surname. I'm leaving now, so you should leave quickly."

Senju Uzuki glanced at him indifferently, said nothing more, turned around and quickly disappeared into the dark forest.

Only after Uzuki's figure completely disappeared did Uchiha Kitsune's legs go weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a sigh of relief, panting heavily.

"Luckily, it's just a little girl... If it were an adult Senju, they would definitely have noticed my weakness..."

The fox patted its chest, secretly relieved.

Wandering at the border between the two clans late at night is already suspicious enough. If he were to encounter an adult Senju ninja, they wouldn't ask him a single question; they would simply kill him as a spy.

"I have to hurry! I didn't expect that a little girl from the Senju clan had already come to train near the Uchiha clan. In a few years, will the Uchiha clan be wiped out by the Senju...?"

I dared not linger any longer

Uchiha Kitsune got up, carefully concealed himself, and hurriedly headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.
