Naruto: Starting with Dual Rinnegan, Konan Falls in Love with Me

After returning home, Gu Xingxi and Shouko changed their clothes and took a bath, then headed out to the yard to practice with the 3D maneuver gear.

Gu Xingxi activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and used the right eye's technique, Kagami, to pull Shouko into a genjutsu space. Inside, he thoroughly explained various techniques for using the 3D maneuver gear and how to coordinate with the Thunder Spear, which Shouko mastered in less than three days.

In the reality of Kagami, three days inside was merely a second outside.

After practicing in the woods for a while, the two used their 3D maneuver gear to visit the Great Elder's residence.

The Great Elder glanced at them and said, "Ah, it's Gu Xingxi and Shouko, come in quickly." They entered and sat down, and a maid served them tea before leaving.

The Great Elder asked Shouko, "I hear Tsunade has taken you as her apprentice?"

Shouko nodded, "Yes, father. Lady Tsunade praised my medical talents and took me on as her apprentice. She also had me sign a summoning contract with the Forest of Wet Bones."

The Great Elder laughed heartily, "Ah, what a teachable child! You've become a ninja capable of standing on your own."

Shouko responded, "Thank you for your praise, father."

The Great Elder continued, "No worries. And Gu Xingxi, your reputation on the battlefield is no small matter either. Your widespread Moon Blade attacks have earned you the nickname 'White Moon God.' It seems my decision to entrust Shouko to you was the right one."

Gu Xingxi replied, "You flatter me, father-in-law. Even if you hadn't entrusted Shouko to me, I would have sought her hand the moment I had the chance."

Shouko blushed at Gu Xingxi's words.

The Great Elder smiled, "That puts my mind at ease. Since you both are here today, I might as well tell you something."

Gu Xingxi looked puzzled, "What's this mysterious matter?"

The Great Elder revealed, "Uchiha Fugaku is not well, and unless something unexpected happens, he plans to appoint his son, Itachi Uchiha, as the next clan head of the Uchiha."

Gu Xingxi knew about Itachi's impending leadership but was concerned, "What's happened to Uchiha Fugaku's health?"

The Great Elder explained, "The injuries he sustained when younger and just the toll of age are taking their toll. Also, I feel my time is not far off. Gu Xingxi, would you be interested in taking my place?"

Shouko immediately interjected, "Father, what are you saying? You're in good health!"

Gu Xingxi politely declined, "I'm sorry, father-in-law, I'm not particularly interested in the position of elder. Perhaps Shouko or Mikoto could take it."

The Great Elder reasoned, "Age comes for us all, and Shouko is too gentle; the more aggressive factions wouldn't accept him. As for Mikoto, she's engaged to Itachi Uchiha and will be the Uchiha clan head's wife, so she can't take this role."

Gu Xingxi guessed, "You must have anticipated my refusal."

The Great Elder chuckled, "Indeed, I did guess, but I wanted to ask anyway. If you're not willing, then I'll consider Uchiha Setsuna."

Gu Xingxi inquired, "Why him?"

The Great Elder responded, "His age and strength fit the role, and he holds high esteem within the clan. He's also somewhat my disciple."

Gu Xingxi supported, "Then I agree."

The Great Elder burst out laughing, "Haha, I knew it! You've awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, haven't you?"

The atmosphere suddenly turned serious.

Seeing this, Gu Xingxi no longer hid his abilities and opened his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Gu Xingxi asked, puzzled, "How did you know?"

The Great Elder revealed, "I was once known as a genius in genjutsu, very sensitive to spiritual power. Your spiritual power far exceeds others in our clan, and even mine. There are only two explanations: either you are also a master of genjutsu, or you've awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, which is known for its formidable psychic powers. Remember, use its abilities sparingly to avoid blindness, as documented by those two notable figures."

Gu Xingxi thought (Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna?).

Closing his Mangekyo Sharingan, Gu Xingxi replied, "Not a genjutsu genius."

The Great Elder praised, "Show me that formidable Moon Blade from the battlefield."

"Alright," Gu Xingxi agreed, and they moved to the Uchiha clan's forest.

Drawing his Nichirin Sword, Gu Xingxi declared, "Moon Breath·Type Two: Lustrous Moon Play." He swung, releasing two moon-shaped blades, each carrying smaller crescents, cutting through the trees in front of him.

The Great Elder applauded, "Both the lethality and the range are peerless. Where did you learn this?"

Gu Xingxi replied, "It was taught to me by the deity Bai Qian. This is just one of the strikes. I'm afraid if I use a few more, there won't be a forest left."

The Great Elder nodded in understanding just as a member of the Uchiha clan arrived.

Uchiha A (a clan member): "Great Elder, the Hokage has sent a letter asking for Gu Xingxi to come to the Hokage building."

The Great Elder responded, "Alright, you can go back." After Uchiha A left, he turned to Gu Xingxi, "You go as well, I'll catch up with Shouko."

Gu Xingxi nodded and, using his 3D maneuver gear, headed towards the Hokage building.
