Mikoto covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Of course, little Obito... We're all from the same clan, and Fugaku is the clan leader, essentially your elder."
"We all share the same bloodline limit, and once you awaken your eyes, they will be just like your brother's..."
Mikoto's words increased her favor in Wakaho's eyes. This was a perfect assist.
"I understand, Clan Leader."
Wakaho patted Obito on the back of the head, "I'll take Obito to the Konoha Security Department for guidance this weekend."
This week's mock exam was a key indicator, and Wakaho was almost certain to secure the top spot. If everything went smoothly, he planned to graduate directly and not spend another day in the ninja school.
The Chunin Exams for this year were just two months away. If nothing unexpected happened, after this year's exams, they would have to wait until the next year for the next round.
The ninja world was about to enter the fifth stage of the Great Ninja War: the inter-village melee. With the reward from the B-rank clan mission, Wakaho would have a better chance to gain experience and achievements on the battlefield.
As for the qualification for the Chunin Exams...
From what Wakaho knew, besides the approval of guiding ninjas, large clans seemed to have the authority to recommend their members.
Before he formally took over as the Uchiha Clan Leader and led the clan to greatness, from any perspective, Fugaku was a fully functional tool.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you at the Konoha Security Department, Wakaho-kun."
Fugaku stood up and extended his hand, aiming to ruffle Wakaho's hair.
Wakaho almost rejected but then extended his hand as well.
"Ha-ha!" Fugaku laughed and shook hands with Wakaho, "You will definitely become an outstanding ninja, Wakaho-kun."
"I believe so too."
"Ha-ha! Truly confident, that's good! It's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer. See you this weekend."
"Thank you, Clan Leader. Goodbye, Mikoto-san."
...
"Honey, do you know anyone else who could awaken their eyes at such a young age?"
On the way home, Mikoto leaned against her husband and asked.
"Well..." Fugaku pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "As far as I know, there is one other."
"Who is it? I haven't heard of them," Mikoto asked curiously.
"His name is Itachi Uchiha, or possibly Nanako Uchiha. He awakened his Sharingan right after birth, even earlier than that kid Wakaho."
Mikoto rolled her eyes but smiled softly, gently caressing her belly, "Baby, did you hear that? Daddy has high hopes for you."
"Of course, our child will be a rare genius," Fugaku boasted.
"Why can't it be a girl? Nanako is a lovely name," Mikoto said, giving her husband another look.
"A daughter can also be a rare genius, and a great beauty, just like her mother," Fugaku replied smoothly.
The couple continued their flirtatious banter, clearly happy.
"By the way, dear... That child seems quite mature. I have a feeling he doesn't seem like a typical child; it's his younger brother who does."
"Geniuses are like that," Fugaku said with a smile.
"But even geniuses need to grow."
"I hope there will be more talents like him among the Uchiha children."
"That way, when I step down, it will be as if I've fulfilled the expectations of the old clan leader."
