Parents Perished, Three Tomoe Manifest

Uchiha Tunan always read books with extreme focus, chewing over every detail to integrate it into his knowledge base.

It wasn't until late at night that Uchiha Tunan felt a little sleepy, having only finished one-third of the book.

To avoid affecting his classes the next day, Uchiha Tunan turned off the light and lay down in bed to sleep.

In the night sky, lotus-like clouds dispersed, and the moon, like a shining round mirror, illuminated the Uchiha Clan Compound.

Uchiha Tunan had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan's eyes snapped open, and he sat bolt upright.

A powerful warm current emanated from an unknown point within his body, spreading throughout his entire being.

Numerous ninjutsu techniques were directly infused into his mind, as if he had practiced them hundreds of times, becoming instinctual.

His eyes had transformed into the Sharingan, the tomoe within spinning madly.

Gradually, the spinning tomoe in the Sharingan slowed to a stop, evolving from a single tomoe to a double tomoe.

A smile spread across Uchiha Tunan's face. He clenched his fists, feeling the power that only Chunin possessed.

He raised his head and scanned his surroundings with his Sharingan, watching for a full half-hour. Only when he was certain no one was watching did he mutter to himself:

"Finally dead, huh."

"This should only be one, though. Where's the other one?"

The sense of security that came with increased power was truly intoxicating.

Uchiha Tunan was somewhat dissatisfied with only one death.

The other one should be soon. He hoped tonight would be a double kill.

As he was thinking this, another warm current surged through Uchiha Tunan's body.

This warm current seemed even stronger than the previous one.

This must be Uchiha Genbo's power.

The tomoe in his Sharingan spun even faster. In his blood-red eyes, the afterimages of the tomoe had formed a complete circle.

His mind filled with two more ninjutsu techniques. As for the techniques previously infused, Uchiha Tunan found himself even more proficient, as if he had performed them countless times.

Great Fireball Technique, Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Three Body Technique, Phoenix Sage Flower Claw Red Technique.

And one more lightning ninjutsu: Earth Run.

These were all the ninjutsu his two unfortunate Chunin parents knew.

Of course, Uchiha Tunan's mind also gained much combat experience, along with various skills related to traps and assassination.

Soon, the tomoe in Uchiha Tunan's Sharingan stopped spinning, finally settling on three tomoe.

Within the Uchiha Clan, aside from Uchiha Fujioka, the highest level of Sharingan was now three tomoe.

As for how to explain his sudden evolution to three tomoe, Uchiha Tunan had already considered it and wasn't worried at all.

If things went quickly, he could openly use his three-tomoe Sharingan in front of others tomorrow.

Parents perished, excessive grief caused the Sharingan to evolve.

What a perfect reason.

The death of someone he was close to, Uchiha Tenyu, had allowed him to advance to one tomoe. How much more so with the death of his parents?

Uchiha Tunan was very satisfied with this. The only point of dissatisfaction was that the parents of this body were a bit too useless.

They didn't even learn more ninjutsu.

Now, Uchiha Tunan's strength was probably equivalent to a Special Jonin.

He couldn't be arrogant; he needed to keep striving.

After all, Kakashi became a Jonin at twelve.

A mere Special Jonin was little more than high-level cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes. The blood-red Sharingan returned to black pupils, and he lay down to sleep again.

In the early morning, Uchiha Tunan headed to the Ninja Academy as usual.

However, before he could even step through the school gate, Uchiha Tunan was stopped by Mizuki Uno, with a masked ninja beside him.

Mizuki Uno's face was etched with worry, and he said gravely:

"Tunan, you need to go to the Hokage's office with an Anbu member. Lord Hokage has something important to tell you."

Uchiha Tunan immediately beamed, saying, "Really? Lord Hokage wants to see me again?"

Mizuki Uno looked at the excited Uchiha Tunan, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes, and forced a smile, saying, "Yes, go ahead."

"Let's go. Don't keep Lord Hokage waiting." The Anbu ninja grabbed Uchiha Tunan's arm and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

After several uses of the Body Flicker Technique.

Outside the Hokage's office, Uchiha Tunan and the Anbu member appeared.

"Go in," the Anbu said before immediately using the Body Flicker Technique to depart, truly appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

Uchiha Tunan feigned disorientation, shaking his head and taking a few deep breaths before pushing the door open.

Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi seated at the desk, Uchiha Tunan's eyes immediately lit up like little stars. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Lord Hokage."

"Tunan, you're here," Hiruzen Sarutobi greeted Uchiha Tunan with a rather dejected tone.

The worry etched on his face clearly told Uchiha Tunan that something had happened.

As the saying goes: dogs either bark or lick when they meet, and people either deceive or act when they meet.

Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was acting now, wanting to portray a heartbroken demeanor.

After he revealed the news of Uchiha Tunan's parents' demise, he planned to empathize with the grieving Uchiha Tunan.

Uchiha Tunan had used this tactic before his transmigration, though it was on women.

In a nutshell, it was taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

"Lord Hokage, what happened? Is there anything I can do to help?" Uchiha Tunan approached Hiruzen Sarutobi, his face full of concern.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed leisurely and said gravely, "Tunan, I have something to tell you. You need to be mentally prepared."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tunan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Could it be...?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said solemnly, "Yes. A battle report came from the front lines. The battlefield where your parents were stationed had its supply lines cut. Last night, they were ambushed by Kirigakure ninja and both perished."

"Impossible... impossible..." Uchiha Tunan shook his head frantically. His legs felt weak and powerless as he dropped to his knees, bracing himself with his hands on the ground.

"They were great ninjas, how could they die?" Uchiha Tunan pounded the ground fiercely with his fists, tears dripping onto the floor.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, stood up from his seat, and walked over to Uchiha Tunan. He slowly reached out his hand, intending to comfort him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand stopped midway.

He felt a formidable surge of chakra emanating from Uchiha Tunan's small body.

Could it be...?

A flicker of surprise flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

Legend had it that the Uchiha Clan was most prone to awakening their Sharingan during intense emotional fluctuations.

Uchiha Tunan's current situation fit this perfectly.

If the Sharingan had indeed evolved, this child's potential would be comparable to Kakashi's.

He was only six years old.

To avoid interrupting the potential evolution of Uchiha Tunan's Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi retracted his hand and watched silently from the side.

Soon, the ground beneath Uchiha Tunan was soaked with tears, and the chakra fluctuations emanating from within him gradually stabilized.

Seeing that the time was right, Hiruzen Sarutobi gently patted Uchiha Tunan's back.

"Genbo and Nanako sacrificed themselves for the village. The village will forever remember them. What you need to do now is to pull yourself together, inherit their will, and protect the village."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's words of comfort were effective. As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Tunan stopped crying.

He wiped away his tears with his hand and slowly raised his head.

What met his eyes was a vibrant, blood-red Sharingan, with three tomoe swirling around the pupil.
