Chapter 173 Shisui's Shock

Within the Uchiha clan.

In the silent darkness of the night, a teenager quietly approached a house.

He moved lightly, like a nimble cat, trying to make as little noise as possible.

The boy's name is Uchiha Shisui, and there is a unique light in his eyes.

Shisui carefully pushed open the door, then stood quietly at the door, observing the situation in the room.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance and the lighting was soft and warm.

His eyes fell on a desk filled with various documents and books.

Just then, a deep voice came from deep in the room: "Is that you, Shisui-chan? You came to see me so late, it must be something important!"

The voice startled Uchiha Shisui and his heartbeat instantly quickened.

He looked nervously into the darkness of the room, not knowing who was speaking.

Following the sound of light footsteps, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

He was an old man with a serious face, and his eyes revealed majesty and wisdom.

This person is none other than the great elder of the Uchiha clan.

He walked up to Uchiha Shisui and looked at him carefully.

He saw the nervousness and uneasiness in Shisui's eyes, but he also sensed the determination deep in his heart.

"Come in, kid. We can talk," he said gently, motioning Uchiha Shisui to enter the room.

Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

He walked into the room, closed the door, and followed the old man to the desk and sat down.

The room fell into a brief silence, with only Uchiha Shisui's nervous breathing echoing in the air.

"Um... Great Elder, I have looked through some information about the Asura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara. Are there any more details, such as why the Uchiha clan did not follow him?" Uchiha Shisui looked at the Great Elder in front of him and asked in a very respectful tone.

After hearing what Uchiha Shisui said, the Great Elder sighed and then slowly said, "This matter... At that time, I was just a little kid like you are now, and I didn't understand these things at all."

"It was not until I grew up that I gradually understood the cause and effect of it."

Uchiha Shisui nodded and continued to listen attentively to the great elder's narration of past events.

The Great Elder was silent for a while, then continued, "The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, has always harbored grudges against our Uchiha clan, and it can even be said that he deliberately excluded us."

Then, the elder talked about the time when Uchiha Madara called on the Uchiha clan...

"Madara-sama wants to lead our Uchiha clan to develop in other places?" Uchiha Shisui was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. A storm was rising in his heart. He asked hurriedly: "Moreover, he even called on the God of Taijutsu, Yuxi, to help?"

The Great Elder nodded, a bitter smile appeared on his face, he sighed heavily and said: "Yes! I was also very surprised at that time, but what I didn't expect was that nearly 80% of the Uchiha clan members were unwilling to follow Madara-sama. They seemed to have lost the blood of the Uchiha clan..."

Uchiha Shisui frowned, his eyes solemn, and asked in a heavy tone: "So, how many Uchiha clan members are willing to follow?"

The elder smiled bitterly, shook his head, and replied helplessly: "Only 20%."

Hearing this number, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but take a breath, a complex emotion surging in his heart.

He understood that this meant that most of the Uchiha clan chose comfort and conservatism and were unwilling to take the risk of leaving Konoha Village.

Uchiha Shisui nodded thoughtfully. He thought to himself, "Don't these clan members really care about the future of the Uchiha clan?"

Uchiha Shisui felt confused and helpless, he realized that there were serious divisions within the Uchiha clan.

He couldn't help but worry, if this division continued, what fate would the Uchiha clan face?

Finally, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but ask: "How are those Uchiha clan members who followed Madara-sama doing now?"

The Great Elder shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Uchiha Shisui fell silent again...

His heart was also filled with curiosity, and he almost couldn't help but blurt out: "So, about that Taijutsu Goddess Yuxi, how strong is she?"

The Great Elder fell into deep memories, his eyes flashing with awe and admiration.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, his voice revealing a deep yearning and awe: "Lady Yuxi...her strength is beyond your imagination!"

"It is said that she doesn't know how to use ninjutsu at all. Just relying on her extremely powerful taijutsu, she can easily defeat the God of Ninja, Senju Hashirama, who is also our first Hokage!"

"Even the Wood Release that Hashirama Senju is most proficient in cannot cause any harm to Lady Yuxi when facing her!"

"Even Uchiha Madara-sama, who is known as the Shura of the Ninja World, is no match for Lady Yuxi. He was even severely injured by her once!"

"The legendary Mangekyō Sharingan seems to be useless in front of Master Yuxi. It is completely useless."

"As for the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, he is far from being able to compete with Master Yuxi."

After hearing these words, Uchiha Shisui was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and his face was full of disbelief.

It was really hard for him to imagine that there really was such a person in this world, who could possess such terrifying and despairing strength just by relying on his physical skills.

The Great Elder continued, "Lady Yuxi's strength is like that of a god, or rather, she is a god."

"There are even legends that she has gained the ability to live forever."

"In that era, her name became a symbol of awe for everyone."

Uchiha Shisui was shocked. He couldn't help but ask, "So, what happened to Master Yuxi later?"

The Great Elder smiled and shook his head: "According to my grandfather, Lady Yuxi doesn't like to participate in disputes. After she reached a peak that no one could reach, she chose to live in seclusion."

"Since then, the legend about her has spread throughout the world and has become a myth in the hearts of countless ninjas."

Uchiha Shisui fell into deep thought, his awe for Master Yuxi growing stronger.

"Immortality... this is the ability that many people dream of!" Uchiha Shisui murmured to himself.

He couldn't help but think of his family's eye technique - the Sharingan. Although it possessed great power, it also came with huge costs and risks.

It is truly amazing that Lord Yuxi was able to break through the limits of human lifespan.

"Great Elder, Lady Yuxi is so powerful, why doesn't she choose to rule the ninja world, but choose to live in seclusion?" Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but ask.

His eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, and he was very puzzled by this mysterious and powerful being.

After a moment's silence, the Great Elder slowly said: "She chose to live in seclusion, perhaps out of tolerance towards the ninja world." His voice was low and calm, but it revealed a deep emotion and thought.

Uchiha Shisui was slightly stunned. He had never thought of this answer.

In his opinion, someone with such great power should pursue higher status and power.

However, the words of the Great Elder made him begin to re-examine his thoughts.

The Great Elder continued, "Lady Yuxi's power has surpassed what we can imagine. If she wants to rule the ninja world, I'm afraid no one can stop her.

Uchiha Shisui fell into deep thought, trying hard to understand the words of the great elder.

He secretly made up his mind to practice hard, not only to bring honor to his family, but also to contribute his strength to the peace of the ninja world.

At this time, it was late at night. Uchiha Shisui stood up, thanked the great elder, and prepared to leave.

As he was leaving, he couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Great Elder, do you think it's possible for me to reach Master Yuxi's realm?"

The Great Elder smiled at Uchiha Shisui and said firmly: "As long as you have faith and keep working hard, I believe you will be able to reach the level of Lady Yuxi, or even surpass her."

Uchiha Shisui's eyes flashed with determination. He took a deep breath and said confidently: "Thank you for the encouragement, Great Elder. I will definitely work hard to practice and fight for the peace of the Uchiha clan and the ninja world!"

In the night, Uchiha Shisui's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

“Alas... things like surpassing the God of Physical Arts, Yuxi, are something I can only dream about.” The Great Elder sat at his desk, gazing at the starry sky outside the window, feeling a mixture of emotion in his heart.

At night, in the mansion in the back mountains of Konoha.

"A-choo!" A crisp sneeze broke the silence of the night.

"Strange, who is scolding me?" Yu Xi rubbed his eyes while lying on the bed, and said with a puzzled look on his face.

She always felt that there was a mysterious force cursing her, but she could not find any evidence to prove this guess.

Just then, Kaguya's voice came from the side: "Sister Yuxi, do you have a cold?" She reached out and touched Yuxi's forehead.

Yu Xi shook her head. "No, I just sneezed suddenly. Maybe someone is talking about me behind my back..." As she spoke, she frowned unconsciously, as if she was very concerned about this kind of thing.

Kaguya smiled and comforted him, "Don't think too much, maybe it's just a common cold, let's go to sleep!"

Yu Xi nodded helplessly, closed her eyes, and gradually fell asleep.
