Chapter 10: Bloodline Awakening
Sasuke's brows furrowed as he saw Gojo sitting beside his mother. His young pride stirred.
"Move aside," Sasuke said sharply, eyes narrowing. "She's my mother."
Gojo tilted his head in confusion, blinking innocently.
Before he could respond, Mikoto's stern voice cut through the moment.
"Sasuke! That's not the way to speak to a guest."
She turned to Gojo with a smile, reaching out and gently stroking his hair.
"Gojo, Introduce yourself."
Ding!
[System Notification: Congratulations! Host has successfully plundered an opportunity from Uchiha Sasuke. Reward: 500 Points.]
Gojo stood up with childish grace and bowed slightly.
"I'm Senju Gojo. Nice to meet you."
The word Senju caused the room to shift.
Fugaku, who had remained silent till now, slammed the table.
"Mikoto! How dare you bring the son of that woman into this house! A Senju? You insult our clan!"
Mikoto's face turned pale, but she stood her ground. "He's my nephew. My sister's son."
The mention of his mother made Gojo's blood boil.
He turned to face Fugaku, his young body trembling under the weight of the man's rising killing intent.
Fugaku's chakra flared, a crushing wave descending on the small child. Gojo staggered, eyes wide, unable to lift his head.
Mikoto stepped forward, fists clenched, but stopped when Fugaku's glare turned on her.
Sasuke watched silently, an odd satisfaction creeping onto his face.
System Menu: Would you like to spend points to upgrade?
Without hesitation, Gojo made his choice.
[7500 Points Spent — Uchiha Bloodline upgraded from Thin to Intermediate]
[2500 Points Spent — Uzumaki Bloodline upgraded from Thin to Primary]
A surge of vitality rushed through Gojo's veins. His senses sharpened, his posture straightened. The weight of Fugaku's chakra no longer felt unbearable.
Fugaku narrowed his eyes, sensing the change.
Then, blood trickled from Gojo's eyes.
Ding!
[Bloodline Awakening: Sharingan (One Tomoe)]
The child looked up slowly, golden eyes with single tomoe spinning wildly.
Fugaku stood still, stunned at what he saw. A Senju - uchiha mixed bloodline boy — wielding the Unique Mutated Sharingan?
He reflexively increased his murderous aura.
Gojo dropped to a knee, gritting his teeth.
Mikoto's lips quivered, but she didn't move.
Just then, masked figures burst into the compound.
"Fugaku Uchiha!" one of them shouted, attacking without warning.
Fugaku countered quickly, and Mikoto joined in, shielding her husband.
The commotion drew attention. Members of the Uchiha clan gathered, murmuring at the chaos.
Then, the voice of authority cut through the air.
After A few moments later
"Enough!"
The Third Hokage arrived, flanked by elite ANBU.
Behind them, Gojo's grandfather appeared and rushed to the unconscious boy's side, holding him tightly.
"Gojo!" he called, shaking him gently.
The attacking ninjas knelt. "Hokage-sama, it was Fugaku who attempted to crush this child. We couldn't just stand by."
The Third Hokage's face darkened. His eyes swept to Fugaku.
"Threatening a three-year-old child of the Senju lineage… have you lost your sense, Fugaku?"
Fugaku remained silent, his fists clenched.
Gojo's grandfather stood and glared at Mikoto.
"This is how you protect him? You let that man nearly kill him?"
Mikoto's eyes trembled, shame creeping over her features. She looked down, unable to speak.
"Don't ever approach Gojo again," the old man growled. "Not in this lifetime."
As murmurs rose in the village, the Uchiha were once again in the center of controversy.
And at the heart of it all… was a silver-haired boy with eyes of fire.
