Small Shoulders, Yet Wanting to Carry the Village and Family

Shisui looked at Seisui with eyes full of a desire for praise, like a cute puppy.

He wasn't even six years old this year!

Kakashi Hatake, Konoha's current number one genius, also graduated at this age.

The geniuses of the Uchiha Clan were destined to never be inferior to others!

Seisui first patted his head encouragingly and promised, "It's just Secret Recipe Grilled Fish. If Shisui wants to eat it, brother can make it for you anytime..."

Shisui chuckled, his smile filled with satisfaction.

But Seisui's gaze turned serious. He coughed lightly, stared at Shisui, and slowly said, "Why do you want to graduate early?"

Shisui was stunned for a moment. Seeing Seisui's serious expression, he uncomfortably shifted his gaze. "The Ninja Academy... there's nothing left the Ninja Academy can teach me."

Hearing Shisui's hesitant answer, Seisui sighed slightly. "Shisui, can't you even tell your brother the truth..."

The hint of disappointment in his tone instantly made Shisui flustered.

"It's not like that, brother!"

Shisui pursed his lips. After a moment, he said softly, "I am a genius of the Uchiha Clan, so I want to do my part to improve the relationship between the clan and the village."

"As long as I can promote to Chunin at the same speed as Senior Kakashi and become one of the most prominent geniuses in the village, I will gain the attention of the village and clan higher-ups."

"Then, perhaps I can be the link, using correct and gentle methods to mediate the conflicts between the village and the clan..."

Hearing Shisui's words, even Tobirama Senju within Seisui couldn't help but nod.

Looking at Shisui's tender face, he let out a confused hum, his eyes flickering.

Seisui smiled silently.

It was just as he thought.

On his small shoulders, he always wanted to carry the weight of mountains of responsibility with the bearing of a genius.

Seisui was very fond of this younger brother.

Shisui truly loved his brother. Even though the original body's talent was astonishingly poor, being from the Uchiha Clan and still unable to graduate from the Ninja Academy at eleven years old...

Shisui still deeply respected Seisui, viewing him as his spiritual pillar and the person he loved most.

"Shisui, you're still a child. You shouldn't have to bear this kind of pressure and responsibility."

Seisui tapped Shisui's forehead. "You're only five years old, what do you know? You're just a greedy little kid."

"For now, just stay in the Ninja Academy and study. Those things you're thinking about are for adults like me to handle."

Shisui chuckled foolishly, but his gaze became somewhat distant.

Although the look in his eyes was hidden quite subtly, Seisui could still see his younger brother's thoughts.

To be honest, if it were the original body's combat power, perhaps four or five of him wouldn't be enough for six-year-old Shisui to defeat.

Even if Shisui respected and loved his older brother dearly, he would still believe: in the ninja world, this extraordinary world where strength reigns supreme, a ninja without power could do nothing.

"Shisui, we haven't sparred in a long time, have we? Want to try it after so long?"

Seisui sighed leisurely: "Let your older brother, the dead last of the Ninja Academy, see the power of our family's genius?"

"If you can't even defeat your brother, then you should just obediently be a little brat who's greedy for grilled fish."

Shisui's eyes narrowed instantly.

As an Uchiha, although Shisui had a good temper, even if the one mocking him was Seisui, being questioned about his strength was unbearable.

"Brother, if you lose, you have to do whatever I want to eat for the next week."

"Alright," Seisui nodded with a smile: "Let's go, to the training ground our Grandfather left us."

Upon hearing the word "Grandfather," Shisui's gaze suddenly became resolute. That was the kind of ninja he wanted to become.

Thus, he thought to himself: "I'm sorry, Brother."

"This time, I won't hold back. I need to use my strength to command the attention of all our clan members."

"Starting with convincing you, the one I love the most."

#

Seisui's family training ground.

Seisui and Shisui stood facing each other, separated by a considerable distance.

Compared to Shisui's formal and tightly fitted combat uniform.

Seisui was still wearing his casual home clothes, like a househusband who had just returned from grocery shopping, smiling at his younger brother.

Tobirama Senju, who was closely monitoring this "live broadcast" from within Seisui's body, although he hadn't been kicked out of the broadcast or muted by Seisui, the Second Hokage, who had just been proven wrong, chose to watch in silence.

Looking at Shisui through Seisui's perspective, Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes slightly.

The aura possessed by six-year-old Shisui already surpassed that of a typical Chunin.

In the eyes of Tobirama Senju, who had seen countless people, if Shisui were to grow up, even without awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, he would be a Kage-level powerhouse!

"The potential and danger of the Uchiha Clan, tsk..." Tobirama Senju thought of the older brother of this little Uchiha genius and muttered to himself.

Shisui, naive as he was, didn't know that his good brother had imprisoned the teacher his grandfather admired within himself...

"Brother, be serious, I'm going to attack."

Shisui looked at the leisurely Seisui with some helplessness, thinking to himself, "Brother insisted on sparring with me, probably to save face for himself..."

"Compared to holding back as usual, going all out is the best way to show respect to Brother!"

Shisui's gaze suddenly turned firm. His fingers moved like a phantom, and he instantly drew six shuriken from his ninja pouch, throwing them forcefully at Seisui with a cold whistling sound!

However, he didn't aim for vital spots.

"So gentle, Shisui, still afraid of hurting me?"

Seisui smiled warmly, only forming two hand seals...

Around him, a surging water wall spiraled upwards, blocking all the shuriken Shisui aimed at his limbs.

"Water Style: Water Wall!"

Tobirama Senju's pupils constricted sharply.

He released the Water Wall with only two hand seals?

Moreover, this Water Wall wasn't a simple wall but a three-dimensional defense, which required extremely high mastery of water-style chakra nature transformation.

This is my technique, damn it!

[From opponent Tobirama Senju: You have obtained Chakra Perception Technique (Tobirama Senju Version)!]

Seisui slightly curved his lips.

Old man, be thoroughly shocked, and then obediently drop your gold coins!

This was why he hadn't blocked Tobirama Senju's perception.

Across from Seisui, Shisui rubbed his eyes in disbelief, as if he no longer recognized his own brother.

Simplified hand seals, a B-rank water ninjutsu...

This was no longer the dead last who couldn't graduate from the Ninja Academy!

"Brother, you..."

Shisui looked at Seisui in shock, and after a moment, suddenly smiled: "As expected of my brother, you've given me a real surprise..."

"Then, I'll go all out too!"

Three Tomoe slowly appeared in Shisui's eyes.

One on the left, two on the right!
