Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Fiancée!

The sudden interruption caused the Root ANBU members, who were about to forcibly take Uchiha Takashi away, to pause.

The speaker's identity was anything but ordinary.

Dressed in a loose blue kimono, with a red and white family crest resembling a ping-pong ball on his back, his face was stern, though his eyes were extremely fierce.

The 'Fierce Eyes' Uchiha Fugaku.

He was also the young clan leader of the Uchiha clan.

And the Uchiha were a prestigious family in the ninja world, their status was self-evident.

Such a prominent figure speaking up indeed warranted some respect from the Root ANBU.

"Uchiha Fugaku!" Danzo approached, "Your Uchiha clan is too presumptuous, daring to harm fellow villagers like this!"

What is called turning the tables?

This is it.

Danzo's style was always 'I don't care what you think, I care what I think.' Even though he had Kakashi strike first, the result was that he almost died, so it was Uchiha's fault.

If the result were reversed, he would definitely have a different attitude.

True double standards.JPG Uchiha Fugaku could certainly see what had just happened.

But some things are better left unsaid.

Even though he knew Danzo was targeting the Uchiha clan, he couldn't just bluntly say it.

"It was just an accident, and Kakashi is fine!"

Uchiha Fugaku showed no intention of backing down.

Allowing the other side to take an 'Uchiha' clan member right in front of him would be a significant blow to his prestige as the young clan leader.

"Whether it was an accident needs to be confirmed by an ANBU investigation."

Danzo decisively concluded.

"Investigating these matters is the responsibility of our Police Force, no need to trouble Elder Danzo!"

Uchiha Fugaku stood his ground.

Just as Danzo was about to forcibly order the person to be taken away.

"Danzo, stand down, this was just an accident!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi intervened after having Kakashi taken away.

As Hokage, he certainly couldn't allow Danzo and the Uchiha to start a conflict here.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this!"

Danzo turned and left in anger.

But before leaving, he cast a deep glance at the 'obedient' Uchiha Takashi, who seemed to be in shock from the incident.

He hadn't expected the other to hide so deeply.

Even without actually making a move.

But just mastering a C-rank 'Summoning Technique' was not something an ordinary ninja academy student could do, let alone one considered a dead last.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage!"

Uchiha Fugaku thanked the Third Hokage.

Without his intervention, Danzo wouldn't have given up this opportunity so easily.

"The Uchiha are also part of the village, there's no need to thank me for this!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said warmly, looking at Uchiha Takashi, "Not bad, being able to defeat Kakashi in this assessment shows that Uchiha Takashi, you at the academy..."

For any other child, being praised by the 'supreme' Hokage of the village would have made them ecstatic, eager to express their loyalty (a certain filial son with Hokage aspirations would approve).

At this moment, Uchiha Takashi finally understood why there were so many 'rebels' in the future Uchiha clan.

Facing the full PUA level of the Third Hokage, you'd be frustrated too.

And Uchiha Fugaku, instead of realizing this, was emotionally agreeing.

It's over!

This guy is done for.

Uchiha Takashi, noticing the expression of his young clan leader, knew he had long been shaped by the Third Hokage.

Probably brainwashed by the 'Will of Fire' from a young age.

Anyway, from the future historical perspective, it was under his leadership that the Uchiha received the annihilation package, like lambs to the slaughter without resistance.

"Lord Hokage, I was able to learn the Summoning Technique entirely because of the encouragement from the Will of Fire, where the leaves dance, the fire is ever-burning..."

Uchiha Takashi's face turned red.

Like a fanboy seeing his idol, he loudly praised the Will of Fire, stating that his ability to learn the Summoning Technique was due to this encouragement.

Full marks!

Listening to Uchiha Takashi's understanding of the 'Will of Fire,' Hiruzen Sarutobi's apprehension slowly eased.

Those who comprehend the Will of Fire can't be bad people.JPG "Not bad, I'll go check on Kakashi, don't dwell on today's events!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi left in high spirits.

After everyone left, Uchiha Fugaku left a message.

"Mei is back!"

He said before leaving directly.

Although he was very curious about the summoned beast called 'Taiichi,' their awkward relationship made it difficult to ask.

After he left, Uchiha Takashi felt a burning sensation on his back.

Turning around, he found his two best friends staring intently at him, while others looked on with a mix of curiosity and shock.

## Chapter 4: Fiancée!

There was no helping it; Kakashi's reputation was just too high! As the village's strongest genius, being defeated by someone considered a "dead last" was bound to shock and intrigue everyone. It was overwhelming!

Faced with a group of classmates whose curiosity was through the roof, Uchiha Takashi felt that today was going to be a tough day.

And indeed, it was just as he expected.

Just dealing with the barrage of questions took up a significant amount of his time.

In the end, he used the excuse of having a summoning beast granted by his clan to handle the situation.

By the time he left school and returned to the Uchiha district, it was already dusk.

Once he entered this area, the crowd thinned out dramatically.

If you observed closely, you'd notice that no one outside the Uchiha clan would enter this area.

Even though it was located in the center of the village.

There was no helping it.

The Uchiha clan was self-contained, naturally leading to their ostracization within the village.

So, even when they were annihilated in the future, it didn't cause chaos in the village for no reason.

Uchiha Takashi walked naturally towards a certain place.

Normally, he wouldn't come here.

But today was different.

Because his "White Thigh" had returned.

She was the one who helped him get into the ninja academy.

Otherwise, as an orphan with no parents, no siblings, no home, and not much talent, how could he have possibly entered the ninja school?

Soon, he arrived at an independent courtyard located at the corner of the clan's territory.

Creak!

He pushed open the wooden door and entered this courtyard, which spanned almost several thousand square meters.

In any other place, a few thousand square meters would be impressive, but here in Konoha, it's equivalent to having a courtyard in the center of a major city like the one Uchiha Takashi came from before he transmigrated. It's not just about money; you need status too.

The future relocation of the Uchiha clan was not just due to rebellion threats but also because the land here was incredibly valuable.

The land was just too valuable! Entering the courtyard, the first thing that caught his eye were two massive mulberry trees, whose branches intertwined and provided shade over almost the entire courtyard.

Beneath the trees were rock gardens, pavilions, flower beds, and ponds, creating a refreshing and elegant atmosphere.

In comparison, the two-story wooden house, occupying less than a few hundred square meters, seemed rather inconspicuous.

To put it bluntly, this courtyard alone could be considered priceless.

Even the place where Hiruzen Sarutobi, the "strongest Hokage," lived couldn't compare to this.

From this perspective, it's no wonder the other clans ostracized the Uchiha.

You were hogging too many benefits; if they didn't bring you down, how could they divide these spoils?

Just look at the fate of the Senju clan; their benefits were completely divided among the other clans, which is why their reputation was good.

A fallen noble family is a good family.

Before Uchiha Takashi could take a closer look, a slender and tall figure walked out.

With waist-length black hair like a waterfall, paired with a bright and delicate face, she was incredibly charming.

Especially those cold, light pink eyes that seemed to draw one's soul in.

Uchiha Mei! (Currently hornless) She was also Uchiha Takashi's "fiancée" and his "White Thigh."

Despite being only a year older, at 13, she had already graduated four years ago.

The ninja academy allowed for early graduation exams, though the difficulty was much higher than normal graduation.

In other words, she graduated in her third year at the academy.

That could definitely be called a genius.

And someone like Kakashi, who applied for early graduation in his first year, was an absolute super genius, drawing the attention of many village leaders.

If it weren't for the unexpected presence of Uchiha Takashi, even a Chunin might not have been a match for her.

But it was precisely because of her terrifying talent that Danzo had his eyes on her, trying every means to lead her into darkness.

"You're moving back in!"

Uchiha Mei spoke in a cold tone as she approached.

"Okay!"

Uchiha Takashi nodded lightly.

If it weren't for today's events, he naturally wouldn't have come back.

But since Danzo, that sly old fox, had his eyes on him, he didn't dare continue living outside the clan's territory alone; that would be courting death.

Although it was more convenient for his research over there, he was more likely to "disappear."

Fortunately, he could see the concern behind her "bossy CEO" style command.

If it were the original person he transmigrated into, not only would he not appreciate it, but he would also become more resentful.
