Naruto: Kushina's Redemption, My Revenge

Orochimaru personally demonstrated the Summoning Jutsu and summoned a blue snake.

The blue snake spoke in a human voice, bowing its head toward Orochimaru. "Lord Orochimaru."

Orochimaru said to the snake, "Bring out the contract scroll."

The snake opened its mouth, its belly writhing as it spat out the scroll used to form the contract with Ryuchi Cave.

Orochimaru turned to Chinya and explained, "Open the scroll, write your name in blood, then press your bloody handprint using your dominant hand. That's how you complete the contract with Ryuchi Cave."

Chinya unwrapped the sticky, slimy contract scroll.

The last name listed was Orochimaru's. Chinya didn't recognize any of the names before that.

Chinya bit his finger open and wrote his own name onto the contract scroll before pressing down his blood-stained handprint.

After completing the contract, Chinya rolled up the scroll and handed it back to the blue snake.

The snake swallowed the scroll back into its stomach before speaking, "Lord Orochimaru, Lord Chinya, I'll return to Ryuchi Cave now."

Once more smoke enveloped the blue snake. When the smoke dissipated, the snake had vanished from sight.

Then Orochimaru tossed another scroll to Chinya.

Orochimaru explained to Chinya, "This contains my secret techniques. Study it yourself. If you encounter something unclear, first write down any questions you have. I will return every half month to answer them."

Then Orochimaru began outlining Chinya's new training plan: "Morning physical conditioning and reaction drills continue as usual. In the afternoons, changes begin—you won't need to keep practicing those low-level ninjutsu anymore.

Since you've now learned the Uchiha's Fire Release techniques, you should concentrate on mastering them.

I just examined the fire release techniques contained within that scroll. Techniques like Fireball Jutsu [Gōka Messhitsu] or Dragon Flame Bullet [Katon Gōryūka no Jutsu] require mastery over both shape transformation and nature transformation of fire chakra.

You've already trained Thunder-Natured Chakra through both shape and nature transformation. This time, I'll leave it to you to figure it out on your own.

In the afternoons, you'll also begin practicing the Summoning Jutsu. Once you've fully mastered summoning, switch to studying my secret techniques instead.

Anyway, you're responsible for managing your time properly."

Orochimaru felt quite confident about Chinya.

When it came to training, Chinya was extremely hardworking and self-disciplined—there was never a need for supervision.

Although his training load increased, Chinya felt full of motivation inside.

If he continued training according to this plan, certain breakthrough progress would be inevitable.

"Alright, start your training right away. I have other matters to attend to and must leave first. If you need to find me in a hurry, you can either go straight to the Hokage Tower or, once you master the Summoning Jutsu, call forth one of Ryuchi Cave's snakes—they'll be able to track me down."

"Yes, Master Orochimaru."

Immediately after Orochimaru departed, Chinya started following his new training regimen.

...

The Uchiha Family Estate.

After returning home, Fugaku Uchiha immediately went to meet his father, Uchiha Masaki.

Upon seeing his son's return, Uchiha Masaki immediately asked, "Fugaku, how did it go?"

"Chinya definitely accepted those two scrolls and our Uchiha Clan's goodwill, right?"

Before Fugaku Uchiha could even respond, Uchiha Masaki went on talking to himself: "His eyes must've nearly bugged out in shock. Those are our ancient Fire Release jutsu passed down for generations—even Orochimaru doesn't know them! Not to mention the even more valuable insights into Sharingan usage. He must already be deeply grateful to our Uchiha Clan."

Fugaku answered with an unpleasant expression: "No, Father, Chinya did not accept our goodwill. He... burned both scrolls!"

Uchiha Masaki was stunned, his facial expressions shifting rapidly.

Still disbelieving, Uchiha Masaki confirmed with Fugaku again: "You said he burned the scrolls?"

Fugaku nodded: "That's right. He also made it clear—he refuses to accept our Uchiha Clan's gesture of goodwill."

With a furious punch, Uchiha Masaki slammed the table.

The entire table shattered into pieces.

"He's just a cast-off abandoned by our Uchiha Clan—how dare he?! Does he even know who he is? He's still on Hokage's side anyway!"

Anger flushed Uchiha Masaki's face red, the veins on his neck visibly bulging.

Fugaku himself felt furious as well.

After all, the Uchiha Clan is still the strongest ninja clan in the Shinobi World. Even if Chinya wouldn't accept their apology, why resort to such a method that feels like humiliation?

The atmosphere in the room turned silent, filled only with Uchiha Masaki's heavy breathing.

After quite some time, Uchiha Masaki finally calmed slightly.

Although angry, he remained composed.

That's precisely why he became clan leader in the first place.

Coldly, Uchiha Masaki stated: "Since that bastard Chinya throws our kindness back in our faces, then we'll just ignore him from now on. Fugaku, I have something important for you to do next."

Fugaku nodded: "Father, please tell me."

Looking serious, Uchiha Masaki explained: "Tomorrow I will call another meeting at the clan headquarters to discipline our members. You'll be monitoring them from now on—especially those troublemakers. Keep a close watch.

As soon as you find any of them acting out, report immediately for handling.

The Uchiha Clan has to start changing—starting now. If we delay further, things may spiral completely out of control.

Fugaku, I'm telling you this—there will certainly be upheaval in the Shinobi World within a year. At that time, Konoha will definitely need our Uchiha strength.

This war will give us the chance to make everyone in Konoha change their view of the Uchiha Clan. We Uchiha can't afford to remain so arrogant anymore.

You know exactly what kind of people our clan members are. If we win the war, some of them might act like they're better than everyone else. That's exactly why we must start changing now.

Otherwise, after the war ends, it might become time for Hokage to settle accounts with our Uchiha Clan.

Our time is already limited. The legacy of the Uchiha Clan absolutely must not be ruined by us!"

Fugaku responded solemnly: "I understand, Father. I will carry out the surveillance."

After Fugaku Uchiha left, Masaki Uchiha was still brooding over what had happened with Chinya. He remained consumed with rage.

Yet no matter how much he wanted to act, Masaki Uchiha could do nothing about it.

Nowadays, Chinya was not only protected by Orochimaru, but also by Hiruzen Sarutobi, and even Mito Uzumaki.

When Chinya first returned to Konoha years ago, Mito Uzumaki had offered to adopt him—but Hiruzen Sarutobi refused.

As Chinya was also a member of the Senju Clan—one long at odds with the Uchiha—Mito would surely protect him.

Even now, Chinya held the Uchiha Clan in contempt. If he grew even stronger in the future and fully aligned himself with the Hokage faction, wouldn't he oppose the Uchiha Clan at every opportunity?
