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

"I see."

Maoyue nodded slightly, her voice slightly hoarse: "Since it is the Fox Clan Chief's last wish, I will abide by it."

Uzuki turned around, looked at the five Senju elites behind her who looked worried, and said in a deep voice, "You wait outside the clan's territory. I will go in alone."

Although the five elite soldiers were uneasy, they dared not disobey the order of the Thousand Hands' top fighter and could only bow and agree.

Before long, Uchiha clansmen stepped forward and politely led the five Senju elites to a side hall to take their seats. In the end, only Senju Uzuki remained in front of the clan's gate.

Led by the Uchiha guards, Senju Uzuki walked alone into the dark corridor.

The corridor was silent, with only the scent of incense lingering in the air. White silk ribbons hung down on both sides, and every step exuded a sense of oppression.

We walked through the long corridor and went straight into the main hall of the funeral parlor.

In the very center, an unsealed coffin lay quietly. Inside, Uchiha Kitsune lay there with her eyes gently closed and her face serene, as if she had simply fallen into a deep sleep.

At that moment, Senju Uzuki felt her heart suddenly clench, and a suffocating grief swept over her entire body, her eyes instantly turning red.

The fox... just died like that?

The man who was once her equal, who cared for her in the chaos of war, the man who single-handedly seized power in a coup and led the Uchiha clan out of the abyss, now lies here forever.

Memories of the past surged through her mind: their childhood interactions, their confrontations during wartime, the feelings she couldn't hide in her heart, and her lifelong obsession with remaining unmarried—all of these transformed into a torrent of sorrow that completely overwhelmed her.

She was completely immersed in extreme pain.

Unaware at all, the Uchiha clan members hidden around the mourning hall had icy, chilling eyes, showing no trace of grief for their clan leader's passing, only a dormant silence and coldness.

Inside the coffin, Uchiha Kitsune, who should have been dead, had her fingertips, hanging by her side, tremble slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Just as Senju Uzuki was heartbroken and unable to extricate herself from grief, Uchiha Kitsune in the coffin suddenly opened her eyes!

The crimson three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly lit up, and the eerie red light pierced the solemnity of the mourning hall. The next second, the Uchiha clansmen who had been lying in wait around the mourning hall suddenly sprang up!

Several steel wires gleaming with a cold light suddenly shot out from the beams, screens, and shadows, like bloodthirsty venomous snakes, instantly coiling around Senju Uzuki's limbs and torso!

"What?!"

Caught off guard, Senju Uzuki was still grieving and had no time to defend herself!

The cold steel wire tightly bound her arms and legs, digging deep into her flesh.

"what!"

She gasped in surprise, abruptly raising her eyes to stare in disbelief at Uchiha Kitsune leaping out of the coffin.

He stood tall and straight like a pine tree, still fierce and imposing, his body surging with the killing intent of someone who had been through many battles. There was not a trace of his near-death state.

Where is that benevolent clan chief who was assassinated? He is clearly the hunter who orchestrated this shocking deception!

Uchiha Kitsune landed steadily, a triumphant and cold mockery playing on her lips. She said in a dismissive tone, "Uzuki, you're still too naive."

"fox!?"

Senju Uzuki was shocked. The humiliation of being deceived and the overwhelming anger instantly overwhelmed her reason!

"You're not dead!?"

She suddenly unleashed the immense chakra inherent in the Senju clan within her, her monstrous strength erupting as she tried to break free of the steel wires surrounding her!

But at that very moment, Uchiha Fox's crimson Sharingan began to circulate rapidly!

"Illusion Technique: Shackles Technique!"

Activate instantly!

The invisible chakra shackles crashed to the ground, and together with the steel wires, they pinned Senju Uzuki firmly to the ground, making it impossible for him to move an inch!

"Uchiha Fox!!"

Senju Uzuki's eyes widened in horror as he finally realized—this was all a meticulously planned scheme from beginning to end!

The faked death, the funeral, the invitation to her last wish... it was all a facade! His image as a benevolent ruler who helped the common people and befriended the ninja clan, and the changes that won her her approval, were all just a pretense to deceive her!

Her heart-wrenching grief, her lifelong obsession with remaining unmarried for him, and the lingering resentment she had kept hidden in her heart for half her life—all of these had become the laughingstock of this scam!

My sincerity has been trampled on so wantonly!

Seeing that the situation was settled, Uchiha Kitsune raised his eyes indifferently and coldly gave orders to the Uchiha clansmen in the mourning hall:

"All of you step back and deal with those five Thousand Hands elites outside."

"yes!"

The Uchiha ninja bowed and accepted the order, then quickly left the mourning hall. In the vast space, only Senju Uzuki, who was tightly bound, and Uchiha Kitsune approached step by step.

Uchiha Kitsune slowly bent down, his well-defined fingers gently stroking Senju Uzuki's face, which was still stained with tears.

The fox's cool fingertips brushed against her burning skin, his tone carrying a complex tenderness: "Maoyue, do you regret not running away with me back then?"

"roll!"

Senju Uzuki jerked her head away, her eyes blazing with boundless hatred, and demanded sharply, "You lied to me! You're not dead! You're trying to kill me?!"

Uchiha Fox chuckled softly, his eyes suddenly turning deep and fanatical: "Of course I won't kill you easily."

"I have discovered a secret buried by the Uchiha clan for thousands of years, a secret that can awaken supreme power—that is why I went to great lengths to lure you here alone."

Senju Uzuki clenched her teeth, remaining silent, her crimson eyes filled with hatred as she stared intently at him.

"Did you know that there are even more powerful eyes than the Sharingan?"

Uchiha Fox's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, "I call it—the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Back then, Izumi Uchiha awakened this eye, but the method of awakening it has been lost to history. After reading through countless ancient texts, I have finally concluded that the only way to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan is to personally kill one's closest relatives!"

Senju Uzuki's pupils suddenly contracted, his mouth slightly open, his heart filled with horror.

She never imagined that the legendary supreme eye technique of the Uchiha clan could awaken in such a bloody and brutal way!

"But what does this have to do with you arresting me?!" she demanded sharply.

Uchiha Kitsune's eyes instantly turned extreme and crazed, a morbid smile spreading across his lips as he stared intently at her:

"Because you are my only true family."

"You know I've been an orphan since I was little. In this world, the person I care about most, the most important person, has always been you!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Senju Uzuki's neck tightly!

"If I kill you—I can awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan!!"

The moment he grabbed Uzuki by the neck, two lines of tears uncontrollably rolled down Uchiha Kitsune's crimson Sharingan eyes, his fervent obsession and profound emotions intertwining wildly in his eyes.

Senju Uzuki felt a suffocating pain in her neck, and was both shocked and angry, with indescribable complex emotions surging in her heart.

The humiliation of being deceived

The despair of being taken away by the one you love most.

And that feeling, buried deep for half a lifetime, yet cruelly trampled upon.

They completely enveloped her!
