"Thanks for your hard work."

Fugaku picked up the report, glanced at it, and then put it in the drawer.

"It's time for me to get off work, I'm leaving now."

Fugaku threw an empty bottle of sake from the table into the trash can.

"Captain Fugaku, you can't drink anymore."

Yatsushiro was in deep pain.

If he needs company, why doesn't he just keep Captain Fugaku company?

"I'm not drunk. I only had a little bit left to begin with."

Fugaku waved his hand, pushed open the door, ignored the various gazes of his clansmen, and headed straight for the Uchiha settlement.

If there's one thing Fugaku regrets the most, it's not being able to hold onto Mikoto.

Whenever he thinks about it, he beats his chest and sighs, unable to control himself.

"Mikoto?"

Fugaku took a few steps and was surprised to find Mikoto ahead of him.

She was talking to Sasuke.

"Don't you have any powerful ninja tools at home?"

"You're too young to use it."

Mikoto shook her head.

She is a Jonin after all, so of course she needs ninja tools.

Things like Fuma Shuriken, Senbon, etc.

"Then... can I learn 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' now?"

Sasuke asked, puzzled.

"Of course not."

Mikoto refused Sasuke again.

Sasuke lowered his head in disappointment upon hearing this.

"What, Sasuke, do you want to learn ninjutsu?"

Fugaku came from behind.

A thought suddenly struck him: this might be a good opportunity to get to know Mikoto.

"No need, thank you, Fugaku."

Mikoto politely declined Fugaku's offer, then turned and left, pulling Sasuke by the sleeve without looking back.

"If Sasuke wants to learn, he can come to me anytime."

Seeing this, Fugaku called out from behind.

Unfortunately, Mikoto still didn't stop... and neither did Sasuke.

Fugaku wondered if his reputation had diminished because he hadn't made a move in a long time.

"The bitter wine hurts my heart as it goes down my throat."

Fugaku walked home somewhat dejectedly.

Tonight, it's another sleepless night for him, all alone.

"My father must be much stronger than Chief Fugaku."

Sasuke pursed his lips.

He carried, to some extent, the same genes as other Uchiha who yearned for strength.

Today, Kiyoshi is a household name, with countless legendary stories about him, and some people have even written stories about him.

Such as "The Ninja World Through the Eyes of the Sharingan", "Kiyoshi's Version of the Will of Fire", "The Rise of an Uchiha", and so on.

It is said that once a person achieves success, various books about their success will naturally emerge.

In comparison, Fugaku, who always played the role of a "pig," paled in comparison.

Before he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, when he only had three tomoe, he still managed to earn a formidable reputation, known as "Fugaku the Fierce Eye".

After awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, he never truly displayed his strength again in order to conceal his abilities.

Sasuke felt that Fugaku, the clan leader, was far inferior to his Hokage father, Kiyoshi.

"It is much stronger."

Mikoto nodded.

It's better to let Kiyoshi teach Sasuke than Fugaku, so as not to delay his progress.

"You can go to the Hokage Building; Kiyoshi will be there if you have time."

Mikoto thought for a moment and said.

"it is good."

Sasuke nodded emphatically.

He jogged out of the alley and headed straight for the Hokage Building.

Fortunately, Kiyoshi was still there, so Sasuke was able to meet him without any problems.

"Oh, it's Sasuke. What's up?"

Kiyoshi waved to Sasuke.

"I...I want to see if there are any ninja tools or ninjutsu that are suitable for me."

Sasuke always seemed a bit reserved when facing Kiyoshi.

Kiyoshi smiled and gently stroked Sasuke's head with his large hand.

"Alright, I'll teach you some basic Lightning Release ninjutsu, starting with 'Lightning Release: Shuriken'."

Qingsi said.

This was a ninjutsu he created casually in a moment, and its level was D.

The difficulty level is actually E-rank, but since it involves converting chakra into lightning attribute, Kiyoshi ultimately classified it as D-rank.

Sasuke is his son, and with the added blessing of Indra's chakra, his talent in "Lightning" Release is unlikely to be weak.

"Yes, Father... Lord Hokage."

Sasuke went out excitedly.

This ninjutsu involves attaching a portion of the "Lightning" chakra to the shuriken.

Sasuke immediately thought of Itachi, so he waited until Itachi finished school at the Ninja Academy and had Itachi take him outside to practice the basics of shuriken.

Itachi did not refuse his younger brother's request.

He also really enjoyed spending time with Sasuke.

"Remember to come back for dinner early."

Mikoto's voice came from the kitchen.

"understood."

Itachi and Sasuke said in unison.

Then the two brothers went out of the courtyard and left the Uchiha settlement.

……

After half an hour.

The twilight light was filtered through the layers of tree canopy, casting dappled, shimmering spots of light on the forest clearing.

Itachi and Sasuke arrived at a secluded and quiet training ground in the forest.

"Ready!"

The light, slightly breathless sound, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, interrupted the weasel's thoughts.

He opened his eyes and saw his younger brother Sasuke jogging over from behind the bushes.

Sasuke's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and his face, slightly flushed from running, was beaming with a bright smile.

"I did as you said, and I hid all eight targets!"

Sasuke's tone carried the pride of having completed an important mission as he looked up at his brother, as if awaiting further praise.

Itachi straightened up and looked at his younger brother, who was wholeheartedly trying to surpass him and therefore extremely serious. A barely perceptible gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

He gave a soft "hmm" in response.

"Come on, brother!"

Sasuke excitedly stepped aside, his eyes fixed on Itachi, full of anticipation.

Itachi took a deep breath of the fresh forest air and calmed his mind.

His slender fingers skillfully pulled out eight kunai from his ninja tool bag, four in each hand.

With a little effort, he lightly kicked the ground, his body flipping through the air.

Although his Sharingan has not yet been awakened, his innate insight and calm mind have enabled him to accurately pinpoint the location of his target.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

The kunai flew away one after another, transforming into streaks of swift black light.

Accompanied by a series of crisp "ding-ding" sounds, seven targets in different directions in the distance shattered, scattering wood chips.

The most difficult part was that the target that Sasuke had deliberately placed deep in a crevice of a rock was precisely hit and pierced through by a kunai with a tricky angle.

"Brother! You're amazing!"

Sasuke stared in disbelief, his small body trembling slightly with excitement, his eyes filled with pure adoration.

"Great! It's my turn now!"

He almost immediately raised the small kunai he had specially made for himself high, his eyes burning with an indomitable fighting spirit, wanting to prove that he could do it too.

"Sasuke."

Seeing this, Itachi was about to speak up to remind his younger brother to pay attention to the key points of the movements and not to be too hasty.

However, Sasuke had already leaped up from the ground, his small figure soaring into the air, his movements carrying the unique energy of a child.

In that instant in mid-air, Sasuke's black pupils suddenly trembled, as if they had been illuminated, briefly tinged with a layer of shimmering white.

His world suddenly became crystal clear; the veins of the leaves, the flow of air, and even the target behind the rock were all clearly visible.

"drink!"

Sasuke let out a childish yet unusually firm shout, and with the help of this sudden clear vision, he swung his wrist repeatedly.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of the kunai slicing through the air was more rapid and continuous than before.

The eight kunai were almost connected end to end, and they shot at the target with astonishing accuracy.

Even more surprisingly, the last kunai struck a specific protrusion on the tree trunk mid-flight, making a soft sound and causing its trajectory to take a subtle turn.

As if it had eyes, it bypassed the obstacles and, with a "whoosh," struck the target hidden in a blind spot.

"Success!"

Sasuke landed with rapid breathing, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, his face flushed red from excitement and exertion, and his chest heaving.

He immediately turned to Itachi, proudly raising his chin, his bright black eyes filled with an eager expression that said, "Look, I did it too! Come and praise me!"

Itachi stood frozen in place, his heart suddenly tightening.

Just a moment ago, he clearly saw his brother's eyes turn an unusual white.

Is that a white eye?
