Obito Uchiha

It took Uchiha Yuzuru five days to return to Konoha from the Land of Fields.

He had not chosen to use Kamui to travel.

The Land of Fields was too far from Konoha. Using Kamui for the journey would consume a great deal of Dojutsu Power.

There would be many more occasions to use his eyes in the future. Before obtaining the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Yuzuru had no intention of wasting his Dojutsu Power on something so meaningless.

Of course, once he neared Konoha, Uchiha Yuzuru still chose to use Kamui to teleport directly back to his room.

After releasing the Shadow Clone Technique, Uchiha Yuzuru went to find Uchiha Fugaku.

At the time, Uchiha Fugaku was busy writing something at his desk, with various documents piled high beside him.

"Fugaku."

Uchiha Yuzuru tapped on the desk, and only then did Uchiha Fugaku come back to his senses. "Yuzuru, you're back?"

"Have you chosen the relocation site?"

Uchiha Yuzuru nodded. "The preliminary choice is the Land of Fields."

"The Land of Fields..." Uchiha Fugaku stroked his chin. "That's a good choice."

"Where is the clan head?"

"Father has been unable to hold on much longer, so he had me handle the clan's affairs."

Uchiha Tarou had suffered severe injuries in his youth. Although Tsunade had saved his life, stubborn ailments that were difficult to cure had still remained in his body.

Even according to the original plot, this clan head only had a few years left to live.

Uchiha Yuzuru did not dwell on it and instead asked, "How are things progressing within the clan?"

"All Ninjutsu Resources and supplies have been packed up, and most of the clansmen are prepared."

"In less than ten days, we should be able to relocate."

At that point, a flash of indignation crossed Uchiha Fugaku's face. "You really don't know until you investigate. Once you do, it's shocking. Over the years, the Uchiha Clan has had so much of its property swallowed up by those Hokage advisors!"

Uchiha Yuzuru waved dismissively. "Don't worry. We'll get those things back sooner or later."

"But since they like them so much, we'll leave them a few surprises this time."

After discussing matters with Uchiha Fugaku for a while, Uchiha Yuzuru left.

The current Uchiha Clan was completely different from the Uchiha Clan that had been exterminated in the original story.

They had not endured the Hokage Faction's long-term suppression, the brainwashing of the Will of Fire, or Uchiha Fugaku's indulgence toward the doves...

So after simply spreading the contents of the Clan Meeting among the clansmen, most of them supported Uchiha Yuzuru's plan.

Rather than being watched every day, they might as well leave outright.

Without Konoha, the Uchiha Clan would still be one of the great powers of the Shinobi World.

And now that the Senju Clan had vanished, what was Konoha without the Uchiha?

As for the small number of doves...

After Uchiha Yuzuru killed Uchiha Yashiro, they were like headless flies, able only to drift with the current.

Just as Uchiha Yuzuru was quietly pondering, a childish voice rang out ahead.

"Grandma Riko, let me help you cross the street."

"Obito, thank you, but I don't want to cross the street."

"Huh? Is that so? What a shame..."

A regretful expression appeared on the boy called Obito's face, making Riko Uchiha unable to resist knocking him on the head.

"You child, even if you want to do a good deed, you should first make sure the other person wants it."

Obito Uchiha held his head and muttered, "Got it, Grandma Riko."

Looking at those distinctive goggles, Uchiha Yuzuru felt a complicated mix of emotions.

Who could have imagined that this endearingly clumsy boy before him would go on to commit so many atrocities that enraged both heaven and earth?

Shaking his head, Uchiha Yuzuru walked over and said to Riko Uchiha, "Grandma Riko, I told you to bring a cane when you went out."

Riko Uchiha smiled. "Yuzuru, you were right. Seeing these energetic little ones, I can't deny that I'm getting old."

"Yuzuru?" Obito Uchiha's eyes suddenly lit up. "You're Uchiha Yuzuru?"

Uchiha Yuzuru reached out and ruffled Obito Uchiha's hair into a bird's nest. "Call me Lord Yuzuru."

"Ah, got it, Lord Yuzuru." Obito Uchiha took several sullen steps back, then shouted, "My name is Obito Uchiha, and someday I'll become a genius who surpasses you!"

Seeing Obito Uchiha's chuunibyou act, Uchiha Yuzuru said flatly, "Those words carry no credibility coming from a brat like you."

Obito Uchiha pointed his thumb at himself and declared smugly, "Tomorrow is registration day at the Ninja Academy. I'll definitely become an outstanding ninja."

Uchiha Yuzuru froze for a moment.

Tomorrow was the day students enrolled at the Ninja Academy?

During this time, the Uchiha Clan had been roiling with turmoil, yet the village remained peaceful.

"Lord Yuzuru, are you even listening to me?"

Uchiha Yuzuru glanced at Obito Uchiha. "Don't be late tomorrow."

"I won't be!"

"Oh no, oh no, oh no!"

"I'm late!"

Obito Uchiha sprinted desperately down the road, but when he reached the Ninja Academy, all he saw was the banner being taken down.

The entrance ceremony had already ended.

"If you can even be late for something like this, I suggest you give up on becoming a ninja."

A mocking voice came from ahead. Obito Uchiha snapped, "What did you say, dead fish eyes, masked pervert!"

"Idiot."

Kakashi Hatake clenched his fists in anger, rolled his eyes, and continued walking away.

"You can't be so lazy. Youth must be filled with passion!"

The voice came from below.

A boy in a green jumpsuit with a bowl cut walked past Obito Uchiha on his hands.

The rest passed by Obito Uchiha as well, some mocking him, some curious, and some gloating.

Before long, Obito Uchiha was the only one left on the field.

"I messed up again."

Obito Uchiha pulled down the goggles on his forehead, concealing the tears welling up in his eyes.

He thought that since he had missed the entrance ceremony, he could only wait another year.

Just then, a large hand rested on his head. "Crying won't solve anything."

"This is yours. Take it."

Seeing the admission notice Uchiha Yuzuru handed him, surprise appeared on Obito Uchiha's face.

"L-Lord Yuzuru, how do you have this?"

"Because when I saw you yesterday, I could tell at a glance that you were the kind of brat who'd be late, so I came early and picked it up for you."

Obito Uchiha stared blankly at Uchiha Yuzuru for a while, then his nose suddenly stung.

Yesterday had clearly been their first meeting, yet Lord Yuzuru had specifically come to collect his admission notice.

I'm going to cry. He's so kind!
