Comprehensive Manga: Hope in Another World

Chapter 13: I Am the Best in the World



The night breeze felt cool, and as the curtains swayed, the slight chill brought Shun's mind back to calmness.

After retreating from the tranquil countryside and returning home, he didn't rush to enter. From a distance, he saw the lights in the house were lit without permission, and a smirk appeared at the corner of his lips.

It seemed that some people could no longer stay calm.

The calculations that had been concluded in his mind flashed again. He moved quickly, opening his dual magatama Sharingan, and pushed open the entrance with a cold expression.

"Is this the etiquette of the Uchiha Clan when entering without warning?"

As an angry voice rang out, everyone who had been waiting for a long time saw Shun, who they had been eagerly anticipating.

With a very handsome face and determined eyes, he could be said to be a cold and strikingly good-looking man, especially with his aloof and proud demeanor, which made the elders of the Uchiha Clan secretly nod in approval.

In particular, a little girl of around twelve or thirteen years old covered her mouth, afraid of making a small sound.

Arrogant, cold, proud, powerful, and carrying a gaze that looked down on everyone he saw.

The aura he projected was as if he was carved from the same mold as the Uchiha Clan's geniuses.

Furthermore, a pair of swirling dual magatama Sharingan delighted the Uchiha elders.

Within the Uchiha Clan, few were capable of unlocking this qualification at such a young age. Coupled with the Wood Release, Shun was undoubtedly the most likely candidate to be a genius surpassing Uchiha Madara himself!

However, no matter how greedy they were, the two leading Uchiha elders didn't show any signs of it.

"Those who barged in today are Konoha's ninjas, but there won't be a next time!"

"Shun, you have also witnessed war. You must understand what you will face after displaying such potential."

The Great Elder of the Uchiha coldly warned:

"No matter how much of a genius you are, you're just a corpse when faced with assassinations from Jonin all over the world. Only the living are called geniuses; the dead are just corpses!"

Seeing Shun's face grow increasingly ugly and showing signs of turning against him, the second elder on the other side spoke kindly:

"Although Goichiro's words are harsh, they are true, Shun-kun… No matter what, Uchiha blood runs in your veins."

The elder took out a sealed scroll, placed it on the table, and continued:

"We guarantee the honor of the Uchiha Clan and will do our utmost to train you. The Uchiha ninjutsu and secret techniques will be passed on to you freely in the future. Not only that, with the clan here, you won't need to worry about your safety."

"We assure you that you will become the new Asura of the Ninja World!"

Shun pretended to frown, appearing to show slight hesitation, while inwardly sneering at these two old men, one playing the good guy and the other the bad guy, attempting to deceive him.

"Rest assured, the Uchiha Clan only has one request of you."

Saying this, the second Uchiha elder signaled for the young girl hiding behind him to step forward. She was undeniably beautiful, exuding the essence of a perfect wife and mother, Yamato Nadeshiko.

"We hope that you and Mikoto will marry and produce more heirs for the Uchiha Clan in the future."

The elders of the Uchiha Clan were masters of cunning.

Once Shun married and had children within the Uchiha Clan, could he remain indifferent if something happened to the clan?

If a few children with dual bloodlines like Shun were born, wouldn't the Uchiha Clan be able to dominate the Ninja World and become the greatest clan?

To say Shun was shaken this time would be an understatement.

He silently expressed his sarcastic gratitude to these old men in his mind:

'Damn, I initially wanted to bide my time and gain more benefits, but these people didn't follow the rules and set a honey trap!'

Shun was genuinely moved by this.

Just when he was contemplating leaving as soon as possible, the door was pushed open roughly.

"He is clearly the heir of the Senju Clan; why should he join the Uchiha Clan!"

A woman with a generous figure burst in.

She had long, light blonde hair often tied into a large ponytail. A blue-purple Yin Seal mark was visible on her forehead. She wore a long green dress with black trimmings and a sleeveless top similar to a kimono, with a black cloth belt and dark blue cropped pants.

This was none other than Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin.

After hearing the news about Shun's use of the Wood Release, Tsunade hurried back to the village. Upon learning that the Uchiha Clan was approaching Shun, she rushed straight in.

Tsunade stood protectively in front of Shun like a mother hen guarding her chicks, glaring at the Uchiha elders without backing down.

Tsunade felt herself heroic for protecting the 'poor boy pressured by the Uchiha Clan.'

However, she didn't notice Shun's slightly narrowed eyes behind her.

'Tsunade, huh? If you ruin my good plan to deceive, just wait for me!'

His eyes narrowed as Shun decided that next time he visited the Naruto World, he would teach this woman a "bloody" lesson.

The initial plan to negotiate with the Uchiha Clan was disrupted. Shun had to feign disinterest and watch the Uchiha elders and Tsunade argue.

In the end, Tsunade with her powerful backing and usual disregard for protocol, won.

The Uchiha elders stored away their large scroll filled with secret techniques, their faces pale, and stood up to leave.

Yet, as they left, the second elder didn't forget to pull an envelope from his pocket, place it on the table, and say:

"Shun, no matter what happens, you will always carry the blood of the Uchiha Clan. This is an engagement letter between you and Mikoto. From now on, Uchiha Mikoto will bear the title of 'fiancée,' whether in life or death."

The move was clever.

Shun maintained an indifferent exterior and calmly watched Tsunade. Sure enough, the woman was furious, making for quite the dramatic scene.

As the creaking of the wooden floors ceased, Tsunade, having just calmed down, stared at Shun.

Shun ignored her, opened the refrigerator, poured himself a glass of cold water, and drank it. At the same time, he emitted chakra to repair the wooden floor within an instant.

The familiar Wood Release ability and Kekkei Genkai made Tsunade's furrowed brows relax, softening her expression.

"Shun, come with me. I'll protect and teach you until you can stand on your own. I hope you can carry on the Senju name once more."

Tsunade looked at Shun and recalled her late younger brother.

"I refuse!"

The cold words shattered Tsunade's fantasy, pulling her back to reality.

The overlapping images in her mind dispersed, and only Shun's face was left in her eyes.

Shun was a genius whom everyone vied for. He had many options, not just Tsunade, who only held the title of Sannin.

Moreover, Shun had no obligations to the Senju Clan.

Realizing this, Tsunade calmed herself and followed the Uchiha Clan's instructions:

"Orochimaru and Konoha do possess the Wood Release, but the advanced ninjutsu cannot be taught. However, I'll pass on my medical ninjutsu to you."

"If you come with me, I promise to train you to the level of my grandfather. The Senju Clan will make you the second God of Shinobi."

Speaking of this, Tsunade was confident. As a ninja, who could refuse the temptation to become the second God of Shinobi?

"I refuse."

Shun's rejection was even firmer this time.

"If that's all, please return, Tsunade-sama."

"Why?"

Tsunade was truly puzzled this time. She didn't understand why he would refuse.

Shun wouldn't tell her that he didn't have much time left at all.

By the time Tsunade taught him, Shun would have long since departed. The promise of training was not as beneficial as the scroll of Uchiha Clan's secret techniques.

However, he knew that deception was needed when appropriate. Planting seeds now might yield fruitful results later.

With this in mind, Shun stared straight at Tsunade with sharp eyes:

"I don't want to be the so-called new Asura of the Ninja World."

"I don't want to be the so-called second God of Shinobi."

"There's no need for comparison. I am the best in the world myself!"
