Naruto Immersive Replay, The Curse of the Sharingan

Uchiha Shinji wished he could smash his head against a wall and die; what did he do to deserve such a thing?

Chapter 11 Intelligence

It's been drizzling these past few days, and the weather is starting to feel like summer.

Because the Uchiha clan is skilled in using fire-style techniques, they generally have high body temperatures and are extremely prone to heatstroke in the summer.

The Uchiha clan's indoor classes lasted the entire summer. The classes mainly covered the history of the Warring States period and the customs and cultures of other clans. Sometimes, the instructors would also share combat techniques.

For several days in a row, Makoto tried to find out where Uchiha Nagi was, but was told that he did not have the necessary permissions.

It's truly a worry when the clan chief's instructions aren't completed.

"This time, I command the two of you to set off in three days and escort the noble prince safely to the Land of Wind." Tajima's voice was steady and powerful.

You gave a soft "hmm" without any argument, after all, there were other plans for this mission.

Fire Core kept his head down, making it impossible to discern his emotions, but in reality, he was screaming wildly in his heart that he absolutely did not want to go on this mission with Elder Nagi.

Uchiha Kaku returned to the clan's school with a dejected look on his face.

Seeing the sorrowful expression on Uchiha Kakuno's face, Uchiha Makoto couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Come in."

As soon as he entered the room, a cool breeze blew in.

The Uchiha boys sitting indoors looked at Uchiha Hiko's melancholy appearance and fell into an eerie silence.

Only a futon remained in the room, and Huo He walked over.

After he sat down cross-legged, he realized that everyone around him was someone he knew.

"Fire Core! What's gotten into you?" the boy beside him asked in a low voice.

Before Uchiha Hikaru could speak, a furious roar came from ahead, "Uchiha Hiroichi! How dare you speak in my class!"

The boy next to him was punished by being made to stand behind him.

The Uchiha clan's willpower and self-control are unmatched by any other clan.

Therefore, the Uchiha were a famously powerful ninja clan during this era.

But Huo He really did feel drowsy during class, which was a real challenge for him.

Everyone was listening attentively. Uchiha Masami was speaking enthusiastically when Uchiha Hiroichi, who was standing at the back, suddenly raised his right hand high.

Uchiha Masami thought he was about to express his own opinion.

Uchiha Kouichi shouted, "Mami-sensei, Uchiha Kaku is sleeping in class!"

The scene instantly became awkward, and everyone turned around to look behind them.

As expected, the fire core kept its head down and remained motionless.

So, Huohe was called up and made to stand as punishment with his deskmate, Hao.

Uchiha Kakuno really wanted to punch him, but since it was during class time, he held back and decided against it.

After the indoor class ended, Uchiha Mami looked at the two people behind him, ignoring the fire core, and said, "Uchiha Hiroichi, you come out here!"

Uchiha Hiroichi left with his head held high, while Fire Core immediately slumped onto the table.

Soon a group of people surrounded him.

"Fire Core! Are you alright? It's all Hongyi's fault. He's always being naughty, and he even dragged you into this by tattling to the teacher. I hate people like that the most!" Uchiha Kawaran said angrily.

Uchiha Yakumi chimed in, "It's true that Hongyi was disloyal in this matter!"

Fire Core did not speak, but remained silent.

Seeing his expression, Uchiha Izuna asked, "Fire Core, are you feeling unwell?"

Everyone then realized something was wrong with him. Huo He shook his head. "My heart is cold!"

Izuna was completely puzzled. What was the Fire Core talking about?

"Looks like he took the wrong medicine again!" Liangying immediately diagnosed.

"Waaaaah, I don't want to go on missions with Elder Nagi!" Uchiha Kanoko burst into tears, clutching his head.

Ban wasn't interested in these trivial matters, but when he heard Huo He's tearful words, he stopped in his tracks and turned to walk towards him.

The surrounding youths quickly made way for Ban as he approached.

Huo He suddenly looked up and saw Ban's gloomy face. His sobs caught in his throat, his eyes widened, and his face was still wet with tears.

"What did you say?" Ban's voice was deep and carried an undeniable sense of oppression.

Huo He swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "Young Clan Leader, I'm really afraid of Elder Nagi."

Ban's brows furrowed into a deep frown, a strange sense of resentment welling up inside him. "Why you?"

"This is the clan leader's wish, and I didn't want it to happen either." Firecore lowered his head slightly, his voice even softer.

Nagi Uchiha was once the clan's top assassin, having carried out countless dangerous missions. Her hands were stained with blood, and her sharpness and ruthlessness were enough to inspire fear even among the Uchiha clan.

Huo He was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, so it was perfectly normal for him to be afraid of her.

"You don't need to go on this mission, I'll take care of it for you." Ban said this and turned to stride towards the council hall.

Seeing the young clan leader step forward, Huo He's earlier sadness vanished, and he shouted to the surrounding youths, "I saw a shaved ice shop on my way here, come with me and let's go check it out!"

Liangying sighed helplessly as she looked at Huohe, who was full of energy again.

Uchiha Tajima was still instructing you on matters related to controlling the old members of the clan. His expression was solemn, and his tone was steady. "Those old members of the clan have complicated thoughts. You must deal with them carefully and make sure they don't ruin our plans."

You nodded slightly, your eyes focused, listening attentively to every key point.

Just then, the door to the council chamber was suddenly pushed open, and Kang Dao hurriedly walked in, followed by Uchiha Madara.

"Madara?" Tajima was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected his eldest son to suddenly appear here.

You were somewhat surprised, but you remained calm and composed.

"Father, I have something to say." Ban knew this mission was a rare opportunity. Although he tried to maintain his composure, the burning emotion in his eyes was hard to hide.

You keenly caught the intense gaze of the scorching figure, and your heart skipped a beat. You deliberately looked away, leaving only the words, "Chief, I take my leave."

Seeing Madara's absent-minded look, Tajima cleared his throat lightly. "Madara, everyone's gone."

Ban snapped out of his daze, crossed his arms, and said expressionlessly, "Fire Core isn't suited for this mission, I'll go in his place."

After saying that, he turned and left the council chamber.

As Tajima watched Madara's departing figure, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.

He thought of his wife, Uchiha Aki, who died in childbirth, a woman who always had a gentle and kind smile.

Aki is no longer here, but their children are growing up.

"Aki, do you see? Our eldest son has reached the age of first love." Tajima murmured to himself, gazing at the Uchiha clan crest, his eyes filled with a tender light of memories and contentment.

As the clan leader, he has a responsibility to lead the Uchiha clan to a more glorious future, and Madara is undoubtedly the successor he places the most hopes on.

"I hope your spirit in heaven can bless him and help him find his own happiness."

As one of Tobirama Senju's most capable subordinates, Kashiwagi was well aware of the importance of this mission.

He dared not slacken his pace the entire way, repeatedly reviewing the intelligence he had gathered to ensure that nothing was overlooked.

Before long, Senju Kashiwagi returned to the Senju clan's territory.

When the guards at the gate saw Kashiwagi return, they immediately bowed respectfully. Kashiwagi nodded slightly in acknowledgment and then walked straight toward Tobirama's residence.

Upon entering the room, a cool breeze greeted us, dispelling some of the summer heat from the cypress tree.

Tobirama Senju was sitting on the tatami mat in the room, with various scrolls and documents piled up on the low table in front of him. He seemed to be thinking about something important, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes deep and focused.

Upon seeing this, Kashiwagi immediately stopped, straightened his clothes, then knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and respectfully bowed to Tobirama, saying in a deep voice, "Lord Tobirama, we have obtained the information."

Tobirama raised his head, a hint of expectation and sharpness flashing in his eyes. He gently put down the scroll in his hand, sat up straight, and said, "Get up and tell me in detail."

Kashiwagi slowly stood up, cleared his throat, and began to report, "Lord Tobirama, there was indeed a Uchiha clan member who survived five years ago. However, after her younger brother died, she betrayed the Uchiha clan."

"But just a few months ago, this assassin not only returned to the Uchiha clan, but also became an internal affairs elder. Moreover, judging from the current situation, she should belong to the hawkish faction."

Tobirama Senju's expression instantly turned serious. "What is this assassin's name, and what are the abilities of his Sharingan?"

Kashiwagi continued, "This assassin is named Uchiha Nagi. According to reliable information, she awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan five years ago, but her specific abilities have never been shown to the outside world."

"She is skilled in Lightning Release and Fire Release, which may not be unusual among the Uchiha clan, but intelligence clearly records that she once awakened a special Metal Release."

"Furthermore, she is extremely talented in the development of ninjutsu and is also unique in samurai swordsmanship. In addition to these, she also studies music theory and talisman techniques, and seems to be quite accomplished in these fields as well."

"She has never failed in any of her assassination missions. She is decisive in her actions and quite politically savvy. So far, she seems to have no flaws."

Senju Tobirama listened quietly to Kashiwagi's report, his expression growing increasingly serious.

He pondered to himself that the Mangekyou Sharingan was already rare, and with the previously unheard-of Gold Release, any one of these abilities alone would be enough to make him wary.

"Okay, I understand. You did a great job on this mission. Go and rest now." Tobirama said to Kashiwagi after a moment of silence.

Kashiwagi bowed again, "Yes, Lord Tobirama." Then he turned and left the room, leaving Tobirama alone in the room, lost in deep thought.

As night fell, Madara Uchiha heard the melodious sound of a flute. Following the sound, he saw you sitting on the eaves of the Uzumaki Library, playing the flute.

Madara Uchiha quickly climbed onto the roof and sat down beside you.

You glanced at him questioningly, but seeing that Ban didn't intend to interfere, you continued playing.

After the piece was finished, you put down the flute and looked at Uchiha Madara beside you, "Can you play it?"

"I haven't tried it, but I should be able to," Madara Uchiha replied.

"What do you mean by 'should'?" Facing your suspicious gaze, Madara felt challenged.

Ban reaches out his hand to you, "Give me the flute."

You sensed something was wrong until Ban snatched the flute from your hands and started playing.

"No!" You cried out in terror, trying to snatch your flute back.

Madara Uchiha thought you were so stingy that you wouldn't even lend me your flute, so he immediately ran away.

The shrill, piercing sound made you think that Ban was definitely coming to haunt you tonight.

Madara Uchiha didn't seem to think his boasting was bad.

So Madara Uchiha ran ahead, and you chased after him.

To stop Madara Uchiha, you didn't even think twice and casually threw the potted plant at him.

Madara Uchiha immediately dodged, and the potted plant crashed directly into a house window.

All that could be heard was the sound of ceramics breaking, followed by cursing and swearing coming from inside.

"Who's so wicked! Not only does he play the flute terribly, but he also dared to ambush me!" Uchiha Hikaru, his hair disheveled, walked out of the house.

Then, in the blink of an eye, the fire core met Madara Uchiha's gloomy gaze.

Upon hearing Uchiha Hikaru say that his flute playing was awful, Uchiha Madara activated his Sharingan, "What did you say!"

Uchiha Kakuzu felt he was close to death, and a thought flashed through his mind: "Young clan leader! I must not be fully awake."

So, in front of Ban, Huo He slammed his head against the door and then collapsed to the ground unconscious.

Seeing this, you quickly pulled Uchiha Madara away from the scene.

"Heh." Standing on the attic, Uchiha Rei watched this dramatic scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Uchiha Reiji ultimately shook his head and dragged the fire core back to the room.

You have arrived at a quiet place.

"What are you doing!" you exclaimed, looking at Ban with a headache.

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth, "Was my flute playing bad?"

Hearing Ban's question, you finally couldn't hold back anymore, "Don't you know how awful it sounds?"

Seeing that your usually stable emotions had turned irritable, Uchiha Madara also fell silent.

After a long pause, you continued to explain, "I played the flute before, you took it and played it without even thinking about it."

Madara Uchiha finally realized why you were so vehemently opposed.

Ban suddenly felt the flute in his hand was too hot to handle, and looking at your thin lips, other images involuntarily came to mind.
