"Wakaho, your eyes..." Fugaku's voice was tinged with disbelief.
"Ah, this is the Sharingan," Wakaho replied nonchalantly.
"..." Fugaku was momentarily stunned, "Wakaho, when did you awaken the Sharingan?"
"Let me think..." Wakaho considered for a moment, "I don't remember the exact time, but it should have been a year or two ago. When Obito got beaten up badly, I just saw a flash of red and then it appeared..."
Although mentioning awakening at two years old would be more shocking, Fugaku likely wouldn't believe it. But, given that the effect of awakening at four years old was roughly the same, the outcome remained impressive.
Fugaku's initial shock quickly gave way to a sharp, excited gaze. He seemed almost exhilarated by the revelation.
"Wakaho-kun... just as Granny said, you are a reliable older brother..."
Since Wakaho's return home, it hadn't been ten minutes, and this was already Fugaku's fourth change in address for Wakaho. From "the man of the house," to "little fellow," then to "Wakaho," and now, to "Wakaho-kun," it was evident that Fugaku had completely separated Wakaho from other children.
This was a four-year-old prodigy!
A super prodigy!
"Thank you for the compliment, Clan Leader."
Although Wakaho didn't like Fugaku, it didn't prevent him from taking advantage of the situation. Fugaku's Fire Release techniques were a treasure trove for him.
With his "Fire Release Prodigy" upgraded to "Fire Release Star," Wakaho's panel attributes were terrifying. Learning conditions were reduced, consumption was halved, and power was increased. Such advancements promised incredible future potential.
"So, Clan Leader, do you have any other jutsu scrolls?" Wakaho asked with a hint of eagerness. "Preferably something a bit more challenging. I'm no longer a three-year-old; these C-rank jutsu feel like school textbooks—too simple."
Wakaho continued to flaunt his expertise.
Fugaku, who had hinted twice about visiting the Konoha Security Department, responded with a hearty laugh, "Haha! For you, it may seem simple. C-rank jutsu, indeed. But if you were just an average child, it would be another story..."
"I'm sorry, but I only brought two scrolls today. However, if you want to learn more, as the Clan Leader, I have no reason to refuse."
Fugaku continued encouragingly, "You're still in school, right? How about you visit the Konoha Security Department on weekends? There, you can meet all the elite ninjas of the Uchiha clan. Not only will you find answers to Fire Release techniques, but also to physical arts, genjutsu, and the correct use of the Sharingan."
Wakaho's eyes were drawn to Fugaku's own Sharingan, three tomoe swirling in a display of the clan's bloodline abilities.
"Wow..." Obito exclaimed in awe. "Big Brother, the Clan Leader's eyes look just like yours!"
Wakaho: ...
Fugaku: ...
