In Konoha Village, the next day, the rain had stopped, and under the sunlight, Konoha was filled with vibrant life. A rainbow appeared in Konoha, bringing innocent and joyful smiles to the villagers and children. Even passing ninjas revealed hints of smiles upon seeing the rainbow under the bright sunshine.

"Sister Meiqin, congratulations! You're about to become a Special Jonin!"

Returning to the village, Uchiha Ya smiled and congratulated Uchiha Meiqin as she spoke. However, upon hearing this, Uchiha Meiqin's eyes revealed a trace of sadness and heaviness.

"My grandfather's health isn't good. Although my Sharingan has only just achieved the double tomoe, I still need to bear the responsibilities of the family."

In that brief statement, a lot of information was revealed: Elder Uchiha Shana is about to pass away. As the only bloodline granddaughter of this elder, Uchiha Meiqin will inherit his legacy.

"Elder, he...?"

Thinking of this, Uchiha Ya felt a pang in his heart, but a worried expression still appeared on his face. Noticing this, Uchiha Meiqin gave a self-deprecating smile.

"It's okay; it's better if this old man leaves early. It can save the family some worry."

Thus, the two walked together toward the clan's land, while Uchiha Ya kept pondering the information he had just received. Although Uchiha Meiqin's status as a Special Jonin seemed somewhat forced, with her double tomoe Sharingan and her age, Elder Shana's hawkish faction still needed an heir. It seemed... this was a strong support!

Suddenly, Uchiha Meiqin turned around and stared intently at him, her delicate hands cupping his face as she gazed deeply into his black eyes.

"Ya!"

At this moment, Uchiha Meiqin wore a complex and serious expression.

"We don't have much time left. Your Chunin appointment will be issued soon, but you need to strive to awaken your eyes; we will need you in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ya immediately showed a determined expression and nodded.

"Sister Meiqin, don't worry. I will definitely help you."

This soft support, Uchiha Ya silently agreed; he could not let Meiqin's expectations down. Elder Shana's health was poor, and the only person who could inherit the power left by this elder was Meiqin, who was currently weak and needed his help. This was also why Meiqin, after being stimulated, was anxious for him to awaken his eyes.

As soon as they returned to the clan's land, they heard shocking news.

"The grandson of the First Hokage, Nagashi, has had an accident!"

Upon hearing this news, both Uchiha Meiqin and Uchiha Ya showed expressions of shock. Uchiha Meiqin was shocked because this person was the only direct bloodline of the First Hokage. Uchiha Ya was astonished that Tsunade already knew and that something could happen!

...

In front of the memorial stone.

In front of rows of stone tablets, Tsunade stood silently in a blue windbreaker before a brand new gravestone. Holding a necklace in her palm, her face showed a hint of sadness as tears flowed down uncontrollably.

A sense of killing intent filled the silence!

"Nagashi!"

Rustling footsteps approached, and Uchiha Ya, who had just returned from a mission, hurried here without having time to go home and change clothes, looking exhausted. Holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, Uchiha Ya walked to Nagashi's gravestone, lowered his head, and silently said,

"I just found out this morning, Captain Tsunade. Wasn't it already—"

Bang!

Before Uchiha Ya could finish his sentence, with a sudden wave of her hand, Tsunade sent him flying, crashing to the ground ten meters away. White chrysanthemums scattered in the sky.

At this moment, Tsunade's face was filled with killing intent as she stared fiercely at him.

"Cough, cough!"

Uchiha Ya slowly got up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. Silently, he began to pick up the scattered white chrysanthemums.

"Captain Tsunade, this must be someone stirring trouble between you and the village!"

At this moment, Uchiha Ya looked incredulous, staring intently at Tsunade, who was filled with sorrow.

The death of Nagashi even caught the Senju clan off guard? He had already leaked the information, yet he still died! He didn't know the truth, but one thing was certain: he had to believe it was real. The situation was far beyond his expectations, but having come this far, Uchiha Ya could only brace himself.

"Shut up! You evil little brat of the Uchiha clan!"

Looking at Uchiha Ya, although Tsunade had already surmised that this little brat was just a pawn, she still needed to confuse the hidden enemy.

"Little brat, this is the information you personally delivered, from your clan's Elder Shana!"

Tsunade stared at him word by word, her eyes filled with angry tears.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Ya's expression changed drastically, and a determination flashed in his eyes.

"Captain Tsunade!"

At this moment, Uchiha Ya's eyes were filled with resolve, which made Tsunade's heart secretly alarmed; she wondered if she had overdone it and made this little brat think irrationally.

However, the next moment!

"Captain Tsunade, lower-nin Uchiha Ya will personally act to eliminate the traitors of the village!"

"Shut up!"

Tsunade's sharp gaze swept over, directly coldly scolding him and stopping the nonsense of this brainwashed little brat.

Assassinating Elder Uchiha Shana? This little brat really dared to say that!

However, the secret of Nagashi was known only to her and Granny Mito, and this little brat was now causing Tsunade some headaches, but she still had to maintain a facade of cold indifference and anger.

"Little brat! Remember the ninja confidentiality rules!"

Tsunade's cold warning echoed, almost informing him, and Uchiha Ya gradually lowered his head, falling silent for a moment.

A light breeze blew by as Tsunade turned coldly, gazing at her brother's gravestone.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Ya silently stepped forward, slowly placing the white chrysanthemums in front of the gravestone, bowing his head and remaining silent.

After seeing this, Tsunade sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat guilty towards this little brat, but the matter regarding Nagashi was of great importance, so she naturally could not easily disclose it.

However, this information was known to this little brat. Realizing this, Tsunade hoarsely said,

"This information was the work of enemy spies!"

Tsunade directly told Uchiha Ya that this matter was over; his information had already been classified.

However, upon hearing this, Uchiha Ya lowered his head even further, while his mind kept racing, and soon a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

"Is it because of the war?"

Uchiha Ya's silent expression seemed to suggest that because of the war, this information could not be leaked; otherwise, it would cause turmoil in Konoha.

Tsunade remained silent, seemingly in agreement.

In front of Nagashi's gravestone, neither of the two was mourning for Nagashi.

After a long while, Uchiha Ya, with his back to Tsunade, clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made a decision.

Under Tsunade's shocked gaze, this little brat suddenly turned around, staring intently at her, his eyes filled with determination.

"Captain Tsunade, Uchiha Ya requests to go to the battlefield in the Land of Rain!"

At this moment!

Uchiha Ya was determined to go to the battlefield, wanting this information to disappear forever and to make himself more valuable.

Damn!

This single-minded Uchiha brat!

Tsunade felt frustrated in her heart, but this was very Uchiha.

However, the next moment, Uchiha Ya suddenly furrowed his brows, revealing a look of pain, and his body began to tremble.

"Little brat!"

In an instant, Tsunade, as an elite Jonin, immediately sensed that something was wrong with this little brat.

This is bad!
