Chapter 5 Uchiha

After his stunning performance on the first day, few people dared to approach Uchiha Kagami in the following days.

During the day, he would take catnaps and practice the Rasengan in the spiritual space. In the evening, he would go home to train in ninjutsu - enhanced physical skills, and at night, he would study theoretical knowledge. He got seven hours of deep sleep every day. Uchiha Kagami led a rather fulfilling life.

Kakashi, who had intended to graduate early, temporarily gave up this idea due to a crushing defeat. He doubled his already intense training regime, waiting to make a significant leap in strength and avenge his humiliation.

Taking advantage of the rare occasion when Sakumo Hatake was at home, Kakashi voiced the doubt that had been weighing on his mind.

"Father... Uchiha Kagami's Sharingan is quite different. I've also seen other Uchiha ninjas use the Sharingan... but..."

Kakashi couldn't clearly articulate that indescribable feeling.

Sakumo Hatake, who was aware of the situation, smiled and gently patted his head."You feel it's more fierce, right?"

Kakashi thought it wasn't quite right, yet he couldn't come up with a better adjective.

"I also have Uchiha companions. The eyes of their clan are not as easy to awaken as those of the Hyuga clan. It seems that they can only awaken after experiencing special events and strong mental stimulation. "

"That child named Itachi awakened the Sharingan at such a young age. He must have gone through something sad. Kakashi... you should help your companion and help him out of his predicament. "

There was a hint of confusion in Kakashi's small, expressionless eyes.

That guy... doesn't seem like someone with a deep - seated grievance either...

Although Uchiha Kagami doesn't cause trouble at school, his hobby is to bully Obito Uchiha.

As a result, Obito Uchiha has stopped provoking him recently and has been hanging out with Asuma and the others every day, discussing how to get revenge on Uchiha Kagami.

Kakashi actually felt a bit more relaxed without someone annoying him all the time.

Putting aside those thoughts, Kakashi still stated his main purpose.

"Father, I want to learn your swordsmanship! "

Sakumo Hatake ruffled Kakashi's hair, feeling very pleased.

In fact, he wasn't too keen on Kakashi graduating early either. It's just that there really wasn't much left for Kakashi to learn at the Ninja Academy, so he had previously agreed to apply for his early graduation.

Now that Kakashi didn't mention this matter, it seemed that he wanted to defeat that young boy first.

His thoughts were similar to those of the Third Hokage. Both of them thought that the two children could form a bond through competition.

"Okay, since you've laid a good foundation before, I'll officially teach you the secret taijutsu passed down through generations in our Hatake family, the Hidden Leaf Millennium Impulse! "

"Haha, just kidding. I'll teach you swordsmanship! "

At night, just as Uchiha Kagami, who had finished his taijutsu training, was walking out of the training ground, a clansman of the Uchiha clan instantly appeared.

"Itachi, the elder wants to see you. "

The Uchiha clan is not like the Hyuga clan, where several main - family members have more power than the clan leader.

Normally, the clan leader of the Uchiha clan is the one with the highest power.

However, Fugaku has just become the clan leader and is still too young. Many matters in the clan are still decided by an elder from the previous generation.

It's like... the relationship between the Third Hokage and Minato Namikaze in the future.

And this clan elder is a radical within the clan, advocating using force to seize the status that the Uchiha deserve.

It's not the first time Uchiha Kagami has come to the elder's courtyard. He waited in the living room.

Before long, a lean man in his forties or fifties with a hideous scar on his face came out.

Itachi Kamibi, the leader of the hawks.

The Uchiha do not follow the weak. If Fugaku hadn't awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, Kamibi would be the strongest in the Uchiha clan right now.

"Elder Kamibi. " After a simple greeting, Uchiha Kagami sat cross - legged indifferently.

Kamibi nodded secretly. He was quite satisfied with this younger generation of the Uchiha.

Cold - blooded, decisive in actions, and arrogant, he was the kind of Uchiha cub that Kamibi had in mind.

He much resembled the Lord Izuna Uchiha that Kamibi admired.

"I know about what happened at the Ninja Academy. You've done a great job, Itachi. "

"You've also met the Third Hokage. What do you think of him? "

Uchiha Kagami was silent for a while, then said indifferently:

"He is an outstanding ninja with excellent leadership skills. "

"He is generous and kind - hearted, and also possesses great strength. "

"An objective analysis." Itachi Kamibi nodded."Good. You haven't been influenced by some ignorant clansmen who think the Third Hokage is just an incompetent old man. "

Kamibi said seriously,"I have many grievances against Hiruzen Sarutobi, but I have to admit that among our generation, only he is worthy of the position of the Third Hokage. "

"Your grandfather originally had a chance... unfortunately... "

Uchiha Kagami shook his head and made a judgment about his ancestor who had the same name as him:"Even if Ancestor Itachi hadn't passed away, he wouldn't have competed with the Third Hokage for the position of Hokage. "

"... That's true. Itachi, you already have the mindset of a clan leader. "

"Hiruzen Sarutobi has the intention of stepping down. The Fourth Hokage might be chosen from among the Sannin. Considering your age... we should strive for you to be the Fifth Hokage. "

Just as Kamibi was about to talk at length, Uchiha Kagami stood up, supporting himself with his knees.

"Elder, did you call me here just to talk about this kind of content that should be discussed at the clan meeting?"

"During the time of the First Hokage, we thought about competing for the position of the Second Hokage. Now, during the era of the Third Hokage, we're aiming for the Fifth Hokage. Always pinning our hopes on the next time. In my opinion..."

Uchiha Kagami looked directly into Kamibi's eyes without any fear."You're no different from Clan Leader Fugaku. "

"I'm leaving. You'd better save such complaints for the clan meeting. "

"Wait a moment. "

Itachi Kamibi said in a solemn voice with a poker face,"From what you said, do you want to compete for the position of the Fourth Hokage? "

"No, I'm not interested in being the Hokage. "

Uchiha Kagami turned his head and said indifferently,"Since when did the Uchiha clan need the title of Hokage to prove ourselves? "

"Elder Kamibi, I dislike this cowardly mentality of our clansmen, and you're no exception. "

"I appreciate your support, but don't expect me to act according to your arrangements, nor do I need you to lecture me. "

After saying that, Uchiha Kagami turned back and kept walking. When he reached the entrance, Itachi Kamibi's voice came.

"I'll wait for you at the training ground tomorrow and teach you all the ninjutsu I know. "

"An old guy like me really has no right to tell you what to do, but at least let me be of some use. "

"For the future of the Uchiha clan! "

Uchiha Kagami paused in his steps.

"Got it. "

By the light of the moon, Uchiha Kagami walked through the clan grounds. Some shops were getting ready to close.

"Itachi! Are you happy at school? "

"I heard you defeated the genius of the Hatake clan! Haha, as expected of Itachi! "

"Remember to stop by my place tomorrow morning. I'll prepare red bean soup for you! "

Along the way, clan members greeted him warmly.

Uchiha Kagami also responded with a smile to each of them, completely different from the coldness he showed when facing Itachi Kamibi.

Due to the influence of the pupil power, the stronger the Uchiha are, the more aloof and cold - hearted they become. But ordinary Uchiha clan members are no different from ordinary people.

Counting those who haven't awakened the Sharingan, there are more than two thousand people...

Obito... Itachi...

Even a person as despicable as me can't bear to imagine it.

How could one possibly lay a hand on these neighbors, the elderly, the weak, women and children, who are all blood - related?

When I got home, grandma was still soothing little Shisui.

Shisui's parents sacrificed themselves after giving birth to him. There are only three people left in this family.

Compared with the orphans of ordinary ninjas, the days of Uchiha orphans are much better.

For example, I was adopted, and for those with poor family conditions, the clan members will take care of each other.

After all, even the Second Hokage recognized that the Uchiha are a more loving clan than the Senju.

Love lost turns into hatred...

Well, what if the Uchiha never lose their love?

I will safeguard the destiny of this clan!

"Grandma,I'm home. "
