Inside Hidden Leaf Village, Shin'yu darted out of the bushes when no one was around.
He deactivated his Sharingan, his right eye as clear as usual, the previous blood streaks having completely disappeared.
It turned out that the target of his rewind was his overall state in spacetime, which included not only his spatial coordinates but also his physical health and Chakra state.
Apart from consciousness and memory, all his own functions would return to 5 minutes prior.
Such was the wondrous and profound power of time.

As long as the rewind target was himself, he could activate his eye technique almost without injury, with Chakra consumption approaching zero.
This was also why he could maintain normal vision after awakening his Mangekyo.
Shin'yu looked back at the main gate and, taking advantage of the absence of people, walked out with light steps.
He didn't want to alert anyone, so he returned to the Clan Territory as if nothing had happened, planning to rest until evening.
The streets were bustling with people, including civilians and Ninja, and people from various clans seemed to be getting along harmoniously, but when they saw him, an Uchiha, they all avoided eye contact.
Shin'yu sneered inwardly, knowing that these were all tricks played by the Senju to alienate the Uchiha; only by obediently listening could they gain the villagers' approval.
But in reality, in the eyes of the higher-ups, a rotten orange was still a rotten orange. No matter how much you cooperated, how much you accepted brainwashing and manipulation, the Uchiha Clan would never be welcomed by Hidden Leaf Village.
He felt more and more that following Lord Madara was the right choice.
Just look at the Uchiha's ending in the original timeline: ostracized, antagonized, divided, incited, and finally exterminated, even at the hands of their own people! Only Sasuke was left as a single seedling!
None of the Hokage of Hidden Leaf Village were willing to face the Uchiha Clan squarely. Hashirama was a little better, but Tobirama after him, Sarutobi who inherited Tobirama's will, Danzo Shimura, and the Hidden Leaf Village's higher-ups were all bad birds! As an Uchiha, he might not even live to see Minato born before being schemed to death.
But one strange thing was that the Senju Clan members in the village were all new faces; those who had participated in the war seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.
"Making those who participated in the war disappear from public view to win people's hearts..." Shin'yu mused, the Senju truly had good methods.
When it came to playing politics and scheming, the Uchiha, a clan with simple minds, could never defeat them.
After returning to the Clan Territory, he ignored the whispering Clan members and returned to his room.
He checked his equipment one last time: Ninja tools, Soldier Pills, clothing, wartime armor, and a temporary tent, among other things. He stored all of these in a Storage Scroll to carry with him.
"Strange, where is Kagami?"
During the day, after Uchiha Madara's call to action failed, Shin'yu had looked for his younger brother, trying to persuade him to leave Hidden Leaf Village with him and Madara.
But he was met with a complex look of panic and incomprehension, and a tone as if he were avoiding a venomous snake.
'We worked so hard to create peace, brother! Why do you want to destroy it?'
"Good brother, I don't know if you're naive or just stupid..." Shin'yu said, pillowing his hands behind his head, lying on his Tatami Mat, closing his eyes to feign sleep and conserve his energy.
The reason he had mentioned Uchiha Hikari to Madara was actually due to a bit of selfishness on his part.
It wasn't because of his feelings for the "Bo Light CP" from the original timeline, but because Uchiha Hikari's abilities were too heaven-defying. If Madara was ever in a desperate situation in the future, he wouldn't need to come looking for him to be a tool; Uchiha Hikari would be enough.
Moreover, with Light as a teammate, his safety would be greatly ensured even if Uchiha Madara were to fall.
The golden light slanted westward, the setting sun disappeared, and night quickly fell.
Shin'yu opened his eyes, glanced at Uchiha Kagami who was sleeping soundly with his back turned to him, and shook his head.
He put on his mask, draped his black coat over himself, climbed out of the room through the window, and quietly left the Clan Territory.
Along the way, he relied on his agile skills and excellent Body Flicker Technique to avoid the patrolling Ninja, without letting anyone notice, and arrived at his destination in a few minutes.
In front of the Hokage Building, two Senju Clan guards were on duty.
Entering the Hokage Building at night without summons would normally be a serious crime, but now... Shin'yu walked silently towards the gate.
"Hey, kid, stop! What are you wandering around for so late!"
Shin'yu didn't plan to waste words with them. The moment he looked up, his Sharingan activated, the three tomoe spinning slightly. With just a glance, the two guards became dull-eyed and fell into a genjutsu.
Although he wasn't very good at genjutsu (compared to Itachi and Shisui), his eye power was already at the Mangekyo level. With such high hardware configuration, dealing with two Jonin guards was still very easy.
Shin'yu stepped forward, brushed past the guards, and quickly entered the building.
He hurried in the direction of the secret room, a layer of light Chakra attached to the soles of his feet, reducing shock and noise, and concealing his movements as much as possible.
His black coat fluttered, he was like a ghost speeding through midnight, and soon arrived at the entrance of the secret room.
"You!" The Ninja guarding the door was about to exclaim, but under the red light flowing from the Sharingan, he immediately lost consciousness.
"Demonic Illusion: Puppet Technique!"
Shin'yu quickly ordered, "Open the secret room!"
The entrance to this secret room had sealing formulas, and it was definitely impossible to force his way in. Shin'yu could be said to know nothing about sealing techniques, but by controlling the Senju Clan Ninja guarding the door, he quickly opened the secret room.
Shin'yu gently pushed the door open and frowned as he looked at the dazzling array of books and various scrolls.
"When will I find what I'm looking for!"
In order to prevent secrets from leaking, most of the scrolls were engraved with seals. In addition to the dense formulas, there wasn't even a signature. If they weren't opened, there was no way of knowing what was recorded inside.
Shin'yu turned to the door and said to the Senju Ninja in a low voice, "You, find the Warring States Sealing History for me."
The man nodded. Although his expression was dull, he walked into the secret room very obediently and began searching for scrolls.
"Genjutsu is really useful. Should I strengthen my genjutsu training in the future..." Shin'yu put his hands on his hips, a smile on his face.
Soon, the man delivered a red scroll to Shin'yu.
Shin'yu's eyes moved, and he probed, "Go find the Flying Thunder God Technique for me."
"There is no record of the Flying Thunder God Technique in the secret room," the Senju Ninja said expressionlessly.
"Then... the Book of Sealing?"
"I don't know what that is."
Shin'yu scratched the back of his head, "Could it be that the Book of Sealing hasn't started to be written yet?"
The so-called Book of Sealing is a scroll that records a series of forbidden techniques, compiled and organized by successive Hokage. That's the saying, but most of the forbidden techniques come from Tobirama Senju, the master inventor.
Come to think of it, Hidden Leaf Village had only been established for two years, and Tobirama was busy with infighting every day, thinking about how to squeeze Uchiha Madara, so he definitely didn't have the leisure to write the Book of Sealing.
"In that case..." Shin'yu stroked his chin, "Go find all the S-Rank Ninjutsu or forbidden techniques in this secret room for me."
The Senju Ninja nodded mechanically, and after a few searches, Shin'yu had two more scrolls in his hand.
"Only two scrolls? But that's enough. It wouldn't be good to explain to Lord Madara if I took too many..."
Shin'yu was a little excited. Although the level of ninjutsu corresponds to the difficulty of learning, the more difficult a technique is to learn, the more powerful it tends to be.
He didn't know what forbidden techniques were in the scrolls, but getting them was a win. With the blessing of a gambler's mentality, his expectations were maxed out.
Before long, Shin'yu ran out of the Hokage Building with his spoils. After taking down three patrolling Ninja in a row, he finally approached the main gate of Hidden Leaf Village.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred!
Shin'yu's hair stood on end, and he had the illusion of a sickle hanging over his head.
In an instant, the threat of death enveloped his whole body, but before he could react, an icy Kunai was pressed against his throat.
The moonlight was cool, and the Kunai reflected a cold light, as if it would pierce his throat in the next second.
Shin'yu swallowed, and goosebumps couldn't help but appear on the back of his neck.
"Little brat, where do you think you're going?" A cold voice came from behind him.
Shin'yu's pupils shrank. This deep, sonorous voice...
Why is he here? Could it be... he's been waiting for me at the gate?
In this critical moment, his mind raced. No! My senses can't be wrong. I've clearly avoided all reconnaissance, unless...
His eyes widened, and his gaze fell on his sleeve.
At some point, a Flying Thunder God Technique formula was quietly printed there.
