Guiding Mina: The Power of Love

The next day, Uchiha Tunan arrived at school early.

He didn't encounter Uchiha Mina on the way.

He figured that what happened yesterday had been quite a blow to her.

But that had nothing to do with Uchiha Tunan.

If possible, Uchiha Tunan hoped Uchiha Mina would turn shame into motivation and train hard.

It would be even better if she could awaken the Sharingan.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Uchiha Tunan saw Hyuga Senrin propping her face with her hands, staring at him with a shy expression.

Uchiha Tunan immediately gave Hyuga Senrin a friendly nod.

This scene was witnessed by Uchiha Mina, who was seated, and she gritted her teeth, trembling with anger.

During the break between classes, Hyuga Senrin took the opportunity to approach Uchiha Tunan again, asking for his help with her studies.

Uchiha Tunan naturally wouldn't refuse Reserve Food getting close to him.

It seemed that in this love triangle, the other two had both treated him as harmless prey.

As for who was the prey and who was the hunter, no one knew until the very end.

After school, Hyuga Senrin naturally had no reason to cling to Uchiha Tunan.

After all, everyone knew that during this time after school, Uchiha Tunan belonged to Kakashi.

However, on the way to the Hatake Family's residence, Uchiha Mina caught up to Uchiha Tunan.

"Tunan-kun!"

Uchiha Tunan and Kakashi turned their heads at the same time.

"Mina, what is it you need?" Uchiha Tunan adjusted his glasses and said gently.

Uchiha Mina took a breath and looked directly into Uchiha Tunan's eyes with a serious expression, "I want to become stronger. Can you guide my training?"

"Troublesome."

Kakashi shrugged and muttered, then said to Uchiha Tunan, "I'll go back and train. I'll wait for you."

With that, he walked straight ahead.

Seeing Kakashi leave, Uchiha Tunan looked at Uchiha Mina with a sincere expression and said, "We're classmates, so helping each other is only natural. I'm very happy to help you train."

Uchiha Mina bowed to Uchiha Tunan and said, "Thank you, Tunan-kun."

Uchiha Tunan nodded, then stroked his chin:

"However, I need to spar with Kakashi every day after school.

How about this: every day after dinner, at the training ground north of the clan grounds, I'll guide you for an hour.

What do you think?"

"Okay." Uchiha Mina nodded.

"Then I'll be going. See you at the training ground tonight." Uchiha Tunan turned to leave.

"Tunan-kun." Uchiha Mina called out to Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan stopped and asked with a confused expression, "Is there something else?"

"Do you like Hyuga Senrin?" Uchiha Mina stared intently at Uchiha Tunan, waiting for his answer.

"What kind of 'like' are you referring to?"

"You know... the kind between boyfriends and girlfriends."

Uchiha Tunan smiled brightly and shook his head:

"Why would you think that? I've always treated classmate Senrin like a younger sister.

Besides, we're still so young, how can we be in a relationship? It's wrong."

A relationship?

Uchiha Mina was stunned for a moment, hearing the word for the first time.

After all, people in the ninja world didn't live very long lives, and many people got married and had children in their teens.

Wasn't dating before marriage very normal?

Moreover, they were all six years old, and would be almost seven after the new year.

They weren't three-year-old children, so was there a problem with dating?

Not at all.

But as long as Uchiha Tunan admitted that he didn't have romantic feelings for Hyuga Senrin, Uchiha Mina's objective had been achieved.

Uchiha Mina seemed to suddenly gain a burst of energy and smiled at Uchiha Tunan:

"Then it's nothing. See you at the training ground tonight, don't be late."

In the evening, after finishing dinner, Uchiha Tunan headed straight for the Northern Training Ground.

The sky was already darkening, dotted with sparse stars.

"Ding."

Uchiha Mina was already there, practicing her Kunai Throwing Technique.

Seeing Uchiha Tunan arrive, Uchiha Mina's face lit up with joy.

"Tunan-kun, you're here."

Uchiha Tunan glanced at the kunai stuck in the target, then nodded at Uchiha Mina and said:

"Mmm, Mina, you're very diligent.

But I just saw your kunai throwing motion, it's a bit off.

Here, let me teach you, you should do it like this."

Uchiha Tunan directly took action, pressing and guiding Uchiha Mina's body to adjust her posture.

"You don't throw a kunai with your arm, but with your wrist."

"Yes, bend it a little here."

"When practicing, you can use your waist strength. This will help you control your entire body's power."

"Come on, bend your waist a bit more, lean down a little."

Feeling Uchiha Tunan's hands moving over her body, helping her adjust her stance, A blush crept onto Uchiha Mina's face. She bit her lip and said:

"Tunan-kun~"

Uchiha Tunan paused at her words, looking at Uchiha Mina with sincere eyes and saying:

"What's wrong? Is it too difficult?"

Listening to Uchiha Tunan's magnetic voice, Uchiha Mina swallowed and shook her head, saying, "No, thank you."

"You're welcome, it's my duty." Uchiha Tunan smiled warmly and continued to help Uchiha Mina adjust her posture.

"Tuck in your stomach."

"Slightly spread your thighs..."

No one else was around, the sky was dim, and it was just a man and a woman alone.

Uchiha Mina couldn't concentrate at all.

As a result, after Uchiha Tunan had adjusted her posture, Uchiha Mina didn't hit the target once.

An hour later.

The two sat side-by-side on the grass.

Uchiha Tunan looked at Uchiha Mina apologetically and said:

"I'm sorry, Mina. Maybe I taught you something wrong, and you wasted an hour for nothing."

Faced with Uchiha Tunan's apology, Uchiha Mina immediately became flustered:

"No, Tunan-kun taught me very well. It's just that I keep getting distracted during practice.

Maybe I'm just too tired lately. It'll be better in a few days."

Uchiha Tunan rubbed his chin, realization dawning on his face. "So that's how it is. Then you must get plenty of rest."

Listening to Uchiha Tunan's concerned words, Uchiha Mina's heart couldn't help but feel sweet. She subtly shifted her hips closer to Uchiha Tunan.

The two sat even closer.

Afraid that Uchiha Tunan would notice her small action, Uchiha Mina quickly tried to change the subject:

"Tunan-kun, I heard from clan members that you awakened the Sharingan because someone important to you passed away?"

Uchiha Tunan looked up at the stars in the sky and said in a deep tone:

"Yes. I first awakened the Sharingan because my sworn brother, Tianxiong-san, was killed by someone from our clan.

As for the Three Tomoe, that was when my father and mother died on the battlefield."

Uchiha Mina gazed at Uchiha Tunan's profile, murmuring dreamily:

"The conditions are that harsh? My parents died in the last Great Ninja War. I was young and foolish then.

And my talent isn't strong. I doubt I'll be able to awaken the Sharingan."

"How could that be? I believe you can awaken it." Uchiha Tunan suddenly lowered his head, meeting Uchiha Mina's eyes.

Uchiha Mina's heart trembled. As if caught doing something mischievous, she quickly lowered her head and said:

"But awakening the Sharingan requires intense hatred. I... I don't think I can open my eyes even with hatred."

"That's wrong."

"Huh?" Uchiha Mina looked at Uchiha Tunan with confusion.

Uchiha Tunan said solemnly, "Opening the Sharingan isn't about hatred."

"But that's what everyone in the clan says," Uchiha Mina replied, confused.

After all, the Uchiha Clan had existed for so many years, and everyone had basically figured out the conditions for awakening the Sharingan.

Yet today, Uchiha Tunan claimed this method was wrong.

Uchiha Tunan reached up and adjusted his glasses, speaking in an inexplicable tone:

"The Uchiha Clan is a clan of love. The power of love is always stronger than the power of hatred.

When you love someone, you want to protect them.

In the process of protecting them, when our strength is insufficient.

Our bloodline will grant us power, helping us awaken the Sharingan to protect the person we wish to protect."

"Love?" Uchiha Mina felt dizzy.

Uchiha Tunan nodded seriously. "That's right. Because I love Tianxiong-san, and I love Father and Mother.

So when my strength wasn't enough to protect them.

The Uchiha bloodline hidden within me granted me power, helping me awaken the Sharingan to protect them."

Uchiha Mina felt something was off, but it sounded logical.

She said doubtfully, "But... I don't really understand love..."

Suddenly, Uchiha Mina felt a hand on her shoulder.

She looked up and saw Uchiha Tunan smiling as he patted her shoulder.

"I'll help you figure it out. I'll do my best to let you feel the power of love, okay?"

Is Tunan-kun confessing to me?

What am I thinking? Tunan-kun clearly wants to help me awaken my Sharingan.

But awakening requires feeling the power of love.

How can I feel this love?

As she pondered, Uchiha Mina felt the hand on her shoulder gently squeeze.

Her entire heart trembled along with it.

Uchiha Mina buried her head deeply, replying in a voice barely audible, "Mmm~"

I think... I'm already feeling it.

Night had already fallen.

In the darkness, Uchiha Tunan's deep gaze looked down at Uchiha Mina in his arms, the corners of his lips curving slightly.

Awakening through hatred isn't wrong, but extreme hatred usually stems from love.

Don't disappoint my good intentions.
