"Who? Shino?"

Shiki asked subconsciously.

"…"

Shino was speechless, choked with emotion.

'I was just assisting you, brother.'

"It's Sasuke."

Naruto thought of this and started running, saying, "I'm going to find Sasuke!"

"Wait."

Shiki quickly shouted, "Not over there."

Naruto immediately slammed on the brakes and turned back.

He scratched his head and asked, "Where does Sasuke live?"

"I'll go get him," Shiki said after a moment's thought.

Given Naruto's personality and Sasuke's condition, the two might end up fighting.

If Shiki remembered correctly, the Uchiha clan was under surveillance after the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

The appearance of a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at this time would scare them to death. It could be like a ghost story.

"You guys go call Sakura, and everyone will gather at the barbecue restaurant," Shiki said, thinking of Sakura.

Since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, the Uchiha clan had moved away from the center of the village and lived on the edge.

He had never been there, but he had seen the map and found it was located southwest of Konoha.

Just keep walking.

After all, the Uchiha clan's base was quite large.

Soon, Shiki saw the entrance.

The two Uchiha guarding the gate glanced at him and let him in without asking any questions.

Because he was just a kid.

Given the pride of the Uchiha clan, they wouldn't question him.

Besides, who would dare to cause trouble in the base of the largest ninja clan in Konoha Village?

Shiki looked around.

The Uchiha clan gave him a lively feeling.

It felt a bit like a village within a village.

The same as it did with the Hyuga clan.

But compared with the two, perhaps because they are like birds in a cage, the Hyuga clan seemed more repressed.

Shiki asked about Fugaku's home and arrived at the door, knocking.

"Is Fugaku back? Eh... it's Shiki."

After opening the door, Mikoto said, looking surprised.

"Aunt Mikoto."

Shiki looked up at her.

She was wearing a white apron and her long black hair was tied behind her head, giving off the look of a good wife and mother.

"You've come just in time. Let's have dinner together."

Mikoto said softly.

"No, Aunt Mikoto," Shiki explained why he was there. "I'm here to look for Sasuke and ask him to go eat barbecue with us."

"Sasuke."

Mikoto was slightly startled, then asked, "Did he lose to you again today? I saw that he looked very unhappy when he came back."

How to say it?

Naruto kicked his dream of becoming a strong man into pieces?

Shiki was speechless for a moment.

"Auntie doesn't mean to blame you."

Mikoto squatted down, rubbed his head, and said, "It's just that Sasuke has a strong sense of self-esteem, so please bear with him."

"I'll go talk to him."

Shiki had expected this, so it wasn't a surprise.

"Thank you for your help, Shiki."

Mikoto pinched his cheek and said, "You're so good. Your mother must be very happy to have a son like you."

Shiki twitched the corner of his mouth.

Do all women like to pat kids on the head?

"Come in," Mikoto stood up and made room for him.

Shiki walked into the living room.

"That room," Mikoto whispered softly in his ear, as if worried that Sasuke would hear.

Shiki walked forward and opened the door.

"I am not hungry?" Sasuke's dissatisfied voice came out from under the quilt. He thought it was Mikoto.

"Crying secretly?"

Shiki asked calmly.

Sasuke was suddenly stunned, and the air became quiet.

After a few seconds, he showed his head and said stubbornly, "No."

"Then let's go have a barbecue," Shiki said, noticing Sasuke's bloodshot eyes.

Are you going to open the Sharingan?

But it seems not.

He forgot where he read this, but to open the Sharingan, in addition to strong emotional stimulation, a certain amount of chakra is also needed.

After all, the pupil power used by the Sharingan is essentially chakra.

Sasuke unlocked a magatama out of anger on the night of the clan genocide, which might have been caused by insufficient chakra.

Although his talent is not as good as Itachi's, it isn't too bad either.

"…"

Sasuke was silent.

'I lost so badly, and you ask me to go eat barbecue?'

"Don't you want to know why you're not as good as Naruto?"

Shiki asked, adjusting his sunglasses.

"I'll go."

Sasuke immediately stood up.

"Have you finished talking?"

Mikoto was surprised to see the two of them coming out of the room.

It had taken less than half a minute.

No wonder Shiki could become friends with Sasuke.

"Yeah," Shiki nodded. "We're heading out, Aunt Mikoto."

"Have fun," Mikoto said with a gentle smile.

"Why did I lose?"

As soon as they left, Sasuke couldn't wait to ask.

Because a mage isn't as effective as a warrior in the early stages.

Shiki glanced at him and said, "Lightning Release Ninjutsu works best in conjunction with the Sharingan."

Sasuke was slightly stunned.

'Is this real? Don't lie to me.'

Apart from him, all the ninjas of the Uchiha clan used Fire Style Ninjutsu with the Sharingan.

He had never heard of such a claim.

"When everyone's chakra is insufficient, Ninjutsu won't have an advantage over Taijutsu," Shiki continued. "It wasn't your fault that you lost."

"Then should I learn Taijutsu?"

Sasuke asked hesitantly.

Why does he feel less and less like an Uchiha?

If you tell others about a Taijutsu-using Uchiha, they'd laugh to death.

And he's the son of the patriarch.

"No need," Shiki shook his head. "You need a teacher."

"A teacher?"

Sasuke thought of Naruto's teacher, Might Guy.

There was no doubt that he wasn't as ordinary as he looked.

Naruto's rapid strength growth was proof.

"But the Uchiha clan doesn't have ninjas who specialize in lightning-style ninjutsu."

Sasuke couldn't help but frown.

"Hatake Kakashi."

Shiki gave the standard answer.

In all of Konoha, Kakashi was probably the most suitable teacher for Sasuke.

In the original story, he taught him very attentively, treating him as a true successor.
