The fact that four people who hold significant positions within the Uchiha Clan personally came before Shunren demonstrates the high regard the Uchiha Clan holds for him.
"Esteemed seniors..." Shunren's eyes were "injured" and wrapped in bandages. However, although he couldn't see, his Mind's Eye could still clearly sense the immense Chakra possessed by the four people standing before him!
"No need to be nervous, Shunren." It was Fugaku who spoke, and his attitude was very gentle. He was also the one who introduced himself earlier, while the other three had stern faces.
Kyosho spoke up, "Tekka, go test it."
"Yes, Chief!" Tekka, a guard who only obeyed the chief, approached Shunren with a blank expression, stretched out a hand, and pressed it against Shunren's eyes.
Although Shunren was blind, his Mind's Eye could perfectly capture the other person's movements. He instinctively moved, and Fugaku whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, Shunren, we won't hurt you."
Upon hearing this, Shunren stopped what he was doing, thinking that this was Konoha Hospital and the Uchiha people had no reason to attack him.
Tekka gently placed his palm on the bandage, then withdrew it after a few seconds. "It's the aura of the Sharingan's ocular power, there's no mistake."
Yashiro seemed somewhat incredulous, and said in a deep voice, "A mere brat with diluted bloodline has actually awakened the Sharingan. I wonder if it's...?"
"Watch your words, Yashiro." Fugaku suddenly interrupted him, his voice cold. "Shunren Sharingan at such a young age, you know what that means."
Yashiro said with dissatisfaction, "Fugaku, why are you taking the side of an outsider like this..."
"Our Uchiha Clan only respects the strong." Kyosho's aged eyes were fixed on Shunren as he continued, "From today onwards, you will become a core disciple whom our Uchiha Clan will focus on cultivating, Uchiha Shunren!"
The other party's words were full of domineering arrogance, which was the dignity of the head of the Uchiha Clan in Konoha. However, Shunren knew that this old man would retire soon, and the next clan head would be Fugaku.
"So, your answer Uchiha Shunren." Fugaku emphasized the name Uchiha again at the end, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"I shouldn't have any reason to refuse, right?" Shunren said calmly. "Then, may I ask about the specific benefits?"
"Hey, brat! How dare you talk to your senior like that!" Seeing Shunren's nonchalant attitude, Yashiro was once again displeased. Bestowing the name Uchiha upon an outsider was a tremendous honor, and you, a mere brat, didn't seem to care at all? And what do you mean by asking about benefits? Does that mean you'll relinquish the glory of the Uchiha if there's no benefit involved?
Kyosho looked at him quietly without saying a word.
Fugaku's eyes flashed with admiration. He never valued empty titles but rather practical ones. For example, the Uchiha offered him the prestigious position of clan chief's guard or captain of the Konoha Military Police Force, but Fugaku chose the Konoha Military Police Force, which held real power.
"Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu —core disciples can enjoy all the resources of the Uchiha Clan. Is this enough?" Fugaku asked with a smile.
Shunren nodded; this was exactly what he wanted. After several life-or-death battles, Shunren clearly understood that to survive in this chaotic world, he needed to possess greater power. The Uchiha had a rich foundation, offering him ample room for growth—that much was true. However, Shunren also knew the risks involved in joining the Uchiha.
With the Third Shinobi World War imminent, the Uchiha, as the most powerful clan in Konoha, was bound to participate heavily in the war. After the Nine-Tails Incident, Konoha openly exiled the Uchiha to the edge of the village. Later, the Uchiha an armed coup, which failed, leading to the extinction of the entire clan.
If Shunren wants to join the Uchiha, he will have to consider the above issues.
Shunren held neither good nor bad feelings towards the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha valued his Sharingan and wanted to recruit him as a member of their clan. Shunren, on the other hand, wanted to obtain the Uchiha's training resources.
The relationship between the two parties is based on their respective objectives.
After careful consideration, Shunren's answer was:
"Uchiha Shunren greets the clan head."
Having received Shunren's answer, Kyosho gestured to Tekka, who nodded and then took out three scrolls from his pocket and tossed them to Shunren.
"This is a gift to mark our meeting."
Uchiha and Shunren reached an agreement.
Because of his visual impairment, Shunren did not know the contents of the three scrolls. His Mind's Eye could construct virtual images in his brain through the feedback of releasing spiritual energy, but it could not read the text.
Putting the scroll aside first, Shunren formed a "Wei" seal with his hands and concentrated his mental energy. Perception-based ninjas are often good at counter-perception. After confirming that there was no one around, Shunren built a layer of mental energy network around him to shield outside perception.
"What a naughty little rascal..."
In the Hokage Building, the Third looked at the crystal ball that had turned into a snowflake and took a drag of his cigarette.
The Hyuga Clan the Root Anbu, with their Byakugan Dōjutsu, had their vision obstructed by a white veil in the room where Shunren was located.
It wouldn't be enough to attract the attention of both the Third and Danzo if it were just Shunren. They were focused on the movements of the Uchiha Clan Head, Shunren was just a side issue. Of course, even when Kyosho was around, they didn't dare to go too far, only observing from a distance. After all, the Uchiha were all people with strong spiritual energy, and even without activating their senses, they could detect those being spied on.
The Konoha High Command did pay attention to Shunren, but in any case, he was just a kid under ten years old, and it was impossible to go to great lengths to investigate him. Therefore, after discovering that Shunren had used a technique to counter perception, they did not delve any further.
"Alright, the preparations are complete." With Shunren's strength, he naturally couldn't detect the Third and Danzo's surveillance, but he knew the latter possessed this ability. However, what he needed to do next was to remain undetected, which was why he activated the Sensory Technique.
"Yin Release: Projection!"
A flash of crimson light, and the malevolent energy released wantonly—the terrifying Blood- Bloodthirsty Bead!
Shunren's expression turned cold, and he reached for the Bloodthirsty Bead with his bare hands.
"Gurgle~" The icy aura released by the Bloodthirsty Bead instantly invaded Shunren's body, and he immediately felt his blood and qi churning all over his body, and his internal organs felt nauseous and uncomfortable.
Shunren suppressed his discomfort and muttered to himself, "Shouldn't he be coming out soon? Perfect!"
