Naruto: Dual-Pupil Uchiha

"Come on, let's walk around!"

Looking at the lively village ahead, a faint warmth appeared in Genya's eyes. A peaceful village like this was exactly what he longed for.

The Shinobi World—

One day, it too would head toward peace.

As he finished speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared. Within a few breaths, he had already entered the village. The streets were filled with people, and everything felt harmonious.

Shisui followed closely behind him, just like a bodyguard, always keeping Genya safe.

Like that, the two strolled slowly through the village, quietly observing everything around them. Their eyes were calm, but they were clearly taking in every detail.

It had to be said—this place felt even more peaceful than Konoha. People passed by with smiles, and children ran around playing.

Still, some people did glance at them—surprised, confused, or simply curious. After all, two masked men in black robes weren't exactly a common sight here.

"We're getting a lot of attention. Want me to use a genjutsu to hide us?" Shisui leaned in and whispered beside Genya's ear.

"We're members of Atsukara now. Why would we hide when we walk openly in the world?" Genya didn't care at all and kept walking forward.

From time to time, he'd glance around at the people and the surroundings.

Hidan supposedly came to the village often. If they ran into him here, it would save them the trouble of looking.

The two continued walking down the bustling street.

Suddenly, they saw a particularly crowded street and stepped into it.

"Hey there, young man~ Want to come in for a bath?" Just as they entered, a seductive woman in makeup waved her scented handkerchief at them with a flirtatious smile.

The scent of the perfume practically hit Shisui in the face.

Startled, Shisui instinctively backed up nearly a meter, putting distance between himself and the woman.

He even looked ready for an ambush, watching her every move like she might attack at any second.

His face flushed red. It was his first time coming to a place like this, and someone as innocent as him really couldn't handle it.

"Yo, little brother's shy, huh!"

"Look at you, showing up in a mask. Must be your first time, right?"

"No worries, the girls here will take good care of you. First time's always awkward. Next time, you won't even need the mask. Come on in, I'll find you two pretty girls to serve you!"

The flirtatious woman got excited the moment she saw Shisui's reaction. Especially in a place like this, they loved shy first-timers like him.

So her words became even more teasing and unrestrained.

Shisui's face was so red, it looked like it could bleed. Even though he wore a mask, his ears were embarrassingly red.

He didn't want to stay here any longer, but when he saw Genya still standing there, he couldn't help but urge him, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Genya didn't leave, and that meant Shisui couldn't either.

Looking at Shisui's current state, Genya couldn't help but tease him. "Want to go in and sit for a bit? You're not that young anymore. Don't worry, I'll pay this time."

Shisui wasn't a kid anymore—maybe it was time he did something more… adult.

And honestly, if Shisui helped continue the Uchiha bloodline, with his talent and genes, Konoha might gain a few more strong shinobi in the future.

"If you're not going, then I'm leaving first!" Shisui was getting flustered by Genya's teasing and urged him again.

"Alright, alright, I'm coming." Genya finally gave in when he saw how anxious Shisui looked. But before leaving, he just had to throw in one last jab. 

"Boss lady, my buddy didn't find any of your girls to his liking. We'll bring him back another day!"

Hearing that, Shisui, already walking ahead, nearly stumbled.

Great—his reputation had just been completely ruined by Genya. Speechless, he turned back and shot him a blaming look.

Genya wandered the street without a care.

This street seemed to be a special part of the village—almost every place along the way was a bathhouse.

From time to time, you could even hear some... questionable sounds coming from inside.

No wonder "inspiration" struck naturally around here.

If he were a few years older, maybe even he wouldn't be able to control himself.

All the way down the street, the blood-red tint on Shisui's ears hadn't faded.

He kept his head down and just wanted to get out of here as fast as possible.

But Genya seemed to enjoy watching Shisui squirm.

He strolled along slowly, and even chatted a bit with the more "enthusiastic" hostesses they passed.

It made Shisui even more uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Genya stopped in front of a bathhouse.

He stood there for a moment, as if listening to the sounds inside.

"Come on, why'd you stop?" Shisui urged him forward again, clearly wanting to get out of this place.

"I'm hungry. Let's grab a bite first."

Genya turned to look at a ramen shop just across from the hot springs.

"Wonder if the ramen here is better than the one back in the village."

With that, Genya headed inside.

"Do we have to eat here?" Shisui grabbed his arm, clearly annoyed.

"It won't take long.

And who knows? Maybe you'll run into someone you know," Genya said as he walked toward the shop.

The ramen shop was huge.

It didn't just sell ramen—there was alcohol, dishes, and even private rooms.

The main hall was full of half-drunk folks chatting in small groups, gossiping about which girls on the street looked the best, and which ones had run off with a lover.

All the conversations were about women and romance.

Shisui didn't want to hear any of it.

He walked up to the owner and said, "Give us a private room."

So the two of them went into a private booth, one by the window where they could still see the street outside.

"Do you have to hang around this street? What's even good about this place? It's just women lost in that kind of life."

The moment they sat down, Shisui started complaining to Genya.

He didn't even glance out the window.

"Shisui, you're not that young anymore," Genya teased.

"Shouldn't you be thinking about giving the Uchiha clan some fine descendants?

Our clan's numbers are already pretty thin~~~"

"Stop." 

Shisui frowned and motioned for Genya to be quiet. He didn't want to hear any more.

But the more Shisui acted like that, the more Genya wanted to talk.

So the two of them continued eating and chatting. Every now and then, Shisui would glance toward the hot spring across from them.

"Who's this 'familiar face' you mentioned?" Shisui finally asked, curious. Genya hadn't left yet, so he must have his reasons.

"I just sensed a ninja with an enormous amount of chakra. I'm hoping it's the one I'm thinking of," Genya murmured, a white-haired figure flashing through his mind.

As they were talking, a commotion started not far ahead.

Two men were dragging a little girl, trying to leave with her. The girl kept crying and struggling, her small hands fighting to break free.

"Mama, help me!"

"I don't want to go with you! Let me go!"

"Let me go!"

The girl kicked and resisted as more people began gathering around.

But the two men were arrogant, shouting at the crowd, "This is Jashin Cult's business. If you don't want trouble, back off!"
