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

Three years later

The battlefield between the Senju and Uchiha clans.

"This is a brutal war... I don't want to die, I'd better stay here and wait it out for now..."

Uchiha Fox huddled behind the boulder, deep in thought.

War is cruel

The Uchiha group consists of five people per team.

However, their squad was scattered due to the Senju clan's offensive.

Uchiha Kitsune was smart; he knew he couldn't run around recklessly.

So I thought I'd just stay here for a few more days, maybe I could survive.

He will return to his tribe after this war ends.

"Damn it! Those guys, the sons of the clan chief and elders can have powerful protectors, while a child like me can only fend for myself..."

The burning pain on Uchiha Kitsune's cheeks was still intense, and the hatred in his heart grew wildly like a poisonous vine, but it was suppressed under a numb expression.

"Gurgle~~"

Uchiha Fox chuckled wryly and rubbed his stomach.

The password was that they went to the battlefield when they couldn't even afford to eat.

He only ate one bite of rice ball before starting a fight.

The situation on the battlefield is so tense right now, I'll be left with nothing but grass to eat in a bit.

"Who's there!?"

Suddenly, a soft shout came from the open space not far away.

"hiss..."

The fox instantly held its breath, concealing its presence.

The girl with a high ponytail stood amidst the rocks, blue chakra flowing around her fist like a stream of light. Although she was only eleven or twelve years old, her figure was already as upright as a small pine tree.

It was the month of the Thousand Hands Rabbit.

She had just heard the sound.

"come out!"

She leaped into the air and slammed her fist down!

boom--

The boulder shattered with a crash, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Uchiha Kitsune was exposed to Uzuki's eyes!

"Is it her?"

The moment Uchiha Kitsune saw Uzuki, his heart skipped a beat.

Superhuman strength with a thousand hands.

It was the thousand-handed girl who spared his life by the river three years ago.

Uchiha Kitsune instinctively turned to run away, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot.

"Is it you?"

Uzuki seemed to realize something, and her gaze became fixed on Uchiha Kitsune.

Uchiha Kitsune froze, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Eyes facing each other.

Time seemed to stand still.

Uzuki's pupils contracted slightly, clearly indicating that she recognized him as well.

That late night by the river, the Uchiha brat shivered but forced a blank expression.

"We meet again."

The fox closed its eyes and resignedly lowered its hands.

Now even a fool would know that he is an Uchiha.

Kill them, it's better than living a life worse than pigs and dogs in the Uchiha clan.

The expected pain did not come.

Uzuki slowly withdrew his chakra, his brows furrowing slightly, his voice cold and hard, carrying a deliberate air of distance:

"It's dangerous here, let's get out of here."

"you...."

The fox suddenly opened its eyes and looked at her.

The girl turned her face away, avoiding his gaze, her fingertips curling slightly.

Her father repeatedly warned her that if she encountered the Uchiha clan, she should kill them without mercy.

But looking at the thin, bony boy in front of her, who didn't even dare to resist, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.

"I……"

The fox opened its mouth, its voice dry and hoarse.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Maoyue interrupted him, turned her back to him, and said calmly, "If you don't leave now, I'll change my mind."

"Thank you!"

Uchiha Fox clenched his fist, gave her a deep look, then turned and staggered into the dense forest.

Only after his figure had completely disappeared did Uzuki lower her shoulders and murmur softly, "What an idiot... He's clearly an Uchiha, yet he lives such a pathetic life."

She had already witnessed the Uchiha clan's insane bloodlust.

However, there are almost no Uchiha like Uchiha Kitsune who are very cautious and cunning.

Return to the clan

Uchiha Kitsune was received by the elders of the Uchiha clan.

"Your name is Uchiha Kitsune, right? This war resulted in many losses; your survival is truly thanks to the Sage of Six Paths' protection..."

"I hereby commend you with three ninjutsu techniques."

Uchiha elder squinted slightly and tossed three scrolls to Uchiha Fox.

"Thank you so much, Elder!"

Uchiha Kitsune pretended to be flattered and accepted the scroll, but a bad feeling rose in her heart.

I only survived, but I didn't do anything meritorious.

The reason he's increasing the power of his ninjutsu is probably because he's being asked to carry out some death mission.

"Hmm, you haven't awakened your Sharingan yet, right?"

"Yes."

"We're short-handed on the front lines lately. Once you've learned these ninjutsu, go to the front lines."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kitsune felt a tremor in his heart.

Sure enough!

"Yes, ma'am."

Uchiha Fox nodded silently.

What can I do?

Can only accept.

------

Three years later

Uchiha Kitsune has accepted life on the front lines.

Uchiha Kitsune survived time and time again by practicing ninjutsu and honing his combat skills, but his Sharingan never awakened.

This was inevitable; Uchiha Kitsune was an orphan.

In addition, they mature early.

There's really nothing in the world that could make Uchiha Fox lose control of his emotions.

but

There were also things that made Uchiha Fox feel warm.

That is, he became acquainted with Senju Uzuki.

The two met in the woods.

Uchiha Fox wanted to hunt some wild game to fill his stomach, and then he encountered Senju Uzuki, who was also on the front lines.

That time, they both recognized each other.

Because the two of them had a decent impression of each other in the previous two encounters.

After that, they tacitly refrained from attacking and instead sat down to eat together.

After that, practice makes perfect.

Seeing that Uchiha Kitsune was having trouble finding food, Senju Uzuki decided to bring him some food.

Gradually, the two developed a tacit understanding.

Every time Senju Uzuki comes, she brings Uchiha Kitsune some food from the Senju region.

Although Uchiha Kitsune was shy and embarrassed, the food on his side could not compare with that of the clan leader's daughter.

Uchiha Kitsune was just an ordinary, poor kid from the Uchiha clan.

Senju Uzuki is the only daughter of Elder Senju.

"You're so kind-hearted. You know I'm an Uchiha, and you still bring me food every day."

Uchiha Fox laughed.

This was the first time he had shown a genuine smile.

Being an orphan, and being bullied by other children.

Uchiha Fox was aloof by nature, but he was quite pleased with Senju Uzuki's kindness.

In addition, Uchiha Kitsune is already thirteen years old, and Senju Uzuki is quite good-looking. Marriage and love come early in this era, and those who know, know.

"Sigh, at first I just couldn't bear to kill you..."

Senju Uzuki sighed softly.

"So you're going to be so heartless now?" Uchiha Fox asked with a smile.

Senju Uzuki looked into the fox's eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed: "I can't bear to do it now..."

"Hahaha!"

Uchiha Fox chuckled twice, then suddenly grabbed Senju Uzuki's hand and rushed into the depths of the forest with her.

Uchiha Kitsune held Senju Uzuki's hand tightly, his palm warm with the boy's body heat.

"Slower...."

Maoyue's fingertips tightened instantly as she was dragged by the fox through the forest, her face flushing red.

Two mortal enemies, youthful affections, deep in the forest, a lone man and a lonely woman...

A jumble of thoughts made Uzuki's ears turn bright red, almost to the point of bleeding. She bit her lower lip and stammered out a sound so soft it was like a mosquito's hum:

"Fox, we're still young, and you're an Uchiha, I'm a Senju, we...we can't..."

Before her words could even fade into the wind, the fox abruptly stopped and pulled her to a clearing in the woods.
