Not long after, Uchiha Tenxiu personally placed the ruby necklace, known as the “Fountain of Blood,” around their necks.
Under the sunlight, the ruby necklace emitted a dazzling glow, as if possessing endless vitality.
Uchiha Lingyue and Uchiha Yukino exchanged glances, both seeing an undisguised joy in each other’s eyes.
Although the gem necklace was very valuable.
However, what they valued more was its significance as a gift, which was the most delightful thing.
After all, this act of giving gifts upon returning from a parallel world was just like what they had seen in storybooks, where husbands brought gifts for their wives when they returned from their travels.
“You annoying guy, you finally remembered us sisters!” Uchiha Lingyue caressed the ruby necklace on her neck, her lips slightly curved, speaking with a half-smile.
However, her words contrasted sharply with her expression, sounding somewhat chiding.
“Knowing you, you definitely wouldn’t let go of those beautiful girls when you went to the parallel dimension, would you? Tell me, how many are you bringing back this time, two or three?!” Uchiha Lingyue continued, her gaze fixed on Uchiha Tenxiu, as if she wanted to see his true thoughts through his eyes. She held her head high, revealing her smooth neck, her heart filled with a mix of jealousy and helplessness.
After all, having known Uchiha Tenxiu for so many years, how could she not understand what he was thinking?
In this Ninja World, there was no equality between men and women. Outside the Ninja Village, apart from a few exceptions, it was basically a system of polygyny.
Although it was slightly better among Ninja, with strength as the dominant factor, male and female Ninja also paid a little attention to mutual equality.
However, in reality, there was still a certain gap in status between male and female Ninja; no matter how strong a female Ninja was, once she married, she had to obey the male Ninja's arrangements.
Moreover, if necessary, she even had to withdraw from the Ninja profession. This choice, even the Hokage could not explicitly veto.
And Uchiha Tenxiu’s behavior reminded people of those Daimyo who coveted beauty.
Just from the specific harem system of the Great Zhou, it was clear that he was definitely not the kind of person who would only be willing to spend his entire life with one or two people.
Not to mention the sheer number of harem palaces he had built in the main city of Kenkyo, and the large number of palace maids recruited to serve there—all of these were enough to reveal his true nature.
At this moment.
Uchiha Tenxiu had the opportunity to enter a parallel dimension; given his personality, it would truly be inconceivable if he could let go of the outstanding beauties in that dimension!
However, she was no longer the naive little girl who would just throw tantrums.
At this moment, her heart was completely devoted to Uchiha Tenxiu, filled with deep love for him.
If she didn't want to displease Uchiha Tenxiu with her pettiness.
Or even completely lose the equal status they should have as a couple.
Then, she could only choose to be magnanimous.
Uchiha Lingyue knew this well.
“Hmph, that’s just too good for you!” Uchiha Lingyue rolled her eyes at Uchiha Tenxiu, pinching the ruby on her chest as she spoke.
She had already given up the idea of getting angry with her husband, Uchiha Tenxiu, over those disreputable women.
No matter who those people were!
They were just concubines.
Beside them, Uchiha Yukino chuckled softly, watching her sister Lingyue and Tenxiu bicker. Compared to Lingyue, as Uchiha Tenxiu’s recognized legitimate wife, she considered Uchiha Tenxiu with even greater devotion and had never felt any jealousy.
After she finished reading the Great Zhou’s harem system, she naturally understood that as the “Queen,” she was the one Uchiha Tenxiu had formally married and could be called his “wife.” As for everyone else, they were merely additional personnel, and no one could compare to her.
Not to mention, Uchiha Yukino never doubted that in Uchiha Tenxiu’s heart, no one could be more important than herself.
Even her sister Lingyue couldn’t compare to her in this regard!
“Hehe…” For a moment, Uchiha Tenxiu also gave an awkward laugh and said nothing, his mind couldn’t help but recall the women from the parallel dimension and the soon-to-be-acquired spoils of war. Speaking of which, who were they again…
Sara, Sakura, Karura, Yakura…
Too many!
For a moment, all the beautiful women from the original storyline’s timeline flashed through Uchiha Tenxiu’s mind, leaving behind a few memories that made him ponder in secret.
At this, Uchiha Lingyue knew exactly what Uchiha Tenxiu’s expression meant.
He must have found some new women outside!
And, most likely, he snatched them!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even mention it.
Uchiha Lingyue, who knew Uchiha Tenxiu inside and out, couldn’t help but feel a helpless sigh well up within her, as if she was enveloped by an invisible heavy pressure. Unwilling to touch that distressing topic again, she quickly changed the subject and asked with concern: “By the way, since you discovered another world, and confirmed it’s a parallel dimension and not any other type of world, then, are we present in that world? Or rather, has everything there developed differently! What about me, my sister, and you…?”
Just like Uchiha Chiri at the time.
Uchiha Lingyue's heart was also filled with worry.
She worried whether her self in another world would change? Would she end up with Uchiha Tenxiu from another world? If they didn’t end up together, then…
Uchiha Lingyue’s heart became incredibly complex, fearing that her parallel dimension self might bring her some misfortune.
This worry surged through her heart like a tide, making her unable to calm down.
However, even when facing another version of herself and another Tenxiu, an indescribable awkwardness still arose in her heart. If such a scene truly appeared, what should she do?
And this was the various worries and special thoughts about one's own replica brought about by the differences in parallel dimensions.
No one can accept themselves as a replicable existence.
Can you accept it? There’s an existence exactly like yourself, sharing all your experiences and your beloved.
Even Uchiha Yukino couldn’t help but frown slightly, beginning to ask, “Tenxiu, what kind of person am I in that dimension? What about me and you, did we…?”
And when the two mentioned their parallel world selves.
At this, Uchiha Tenxiu also let out a long sigh, his tone filled with endless lament, as if it was a wail from the depths of his heart: “In that parallel world, because I didn’t exist, from the very beginning, Elder Leimen had already passed away, and Yukino and Lingyue, you also…”
As Uchiha Tenxiu spoke, the two seemed to travel through time, witnessing their vastly different destinies in another parallel dimension.
Without Uchiha Tenxiu’s alcohol production to solve the food problem, and without his help in secret planning, Elder Leimen in the other parallel dimension struggled like a candle in the wind, but was powerless to turn the tide and could not change the predetermined grand scheme.
Ultimately, Senju Tobirama tried to strip the Uchiha Clan of its autonomy, and Uchiha Ming’s betrayal was the last straw. Uchiha Raimon died while on a mission to find medicine. The parallel world’s Uchiha Yukino couldn’t bear the heavy blow and withered like a fragile flower, and Uchiha Lingyue also fell gravely ill in endless grief.
However, her parallel world self resolutely chose to refuse treatment and, disheartened, walked towards death.
This was the tragic end of the Uchiha Raimon family in another parallel dimension. For the so-called grand cause of making the family “integrate” into the Village, they became sacrifices betrayed by traitors. The entire process was filled with shameless calculations and insidious schemes, which was outrageous.
Don’t look, Uchiha Tenxiu stays in Sunagakure all day, responsible for Sunagakure’s pre-war mobilization, almost never going out.
In fact.
While Uchiha Tenxiu was busy in Sunagakure, he wasn’t idle in other parts of the Ninja World in the parallel dimension.
Instead, he conducted various intelligence gathering and investigations.
Especially in Konoha Village, Uchiha Tenxiu only investigated the Uchiha Clan, specifically looking for information on Uchiha Lingyue and Uchiha Yukino.
And when the intelligence on the two from the parallel dimension was obtained.
Faced with the tragic fate of the Uchiha Raimon family in the parallel dimension, Uchiha Tenxiu no longer had the idea of staying.
He immediately left Konoha.
Even if it was just the parallel dimension’s Yukino and Lingyue, Uchiha Tenxiu was still seething with anger and had to vent it. For this, he had already made up his mind to severely bleed the Konoha leadership in the upcoming war.
He couldn't just wipe them out directly.
That would be too easy for them.
As for the arrangements for the Uchiha in the other parallel dimension, Uchiha Tenxiu no longer had any intention of saving them; he would just let them contribute their Sharingan!
As a result of the compromise faction’s victory, most of the Uchiha Clan members in this parallel dimension are descendants of these compromise factions. Even now, due to various suppressions, these descendants of the compromise factions have split into radical factions.
But that doesn’t mean their parents’ mistakes can be forgiven.
Since they chose to integrate into Konoha.
They wanted to become Konoha’s own people.
Then let them face the coming hardships with Konoha!
Upon hearing this, Yukino and Lingyue fell silent as if struck by lightning.
Their hearts churned like a stormy sea, with grief, loss, and confusion intertwined, yet also mixed with a sense of relief.
It seemed they no longer needed to worry about facing a replicated version of themselves and making those utterly painful and difficult choices!
Finally.
Uchiha Lingyue’s eyes seemed to burn with the flames of hatred as she stared intently at Uchiha Tenxiu and said, “Since they in the parallel world have already perished, then let this hatred, like a raging fire, be completely washed away with the blood of the parallel world’s Konoha! I beg you, Tenxiu!”
“Hmm!” Uchiha Tenxiu nodded firmly like a rock, without the slightest hesitation. Even the tragic death of parallel world relatives due to such insidious and cunning schemes still made it impossible to remain calm.
And all of this was caused by that hypocritical fire will.
Since they worship the fire will so much.
Then, let the fire will burn even more fiercely, like a prairie fire!
