The Uchiha Clan Needs a Fuse

"Go, go, go! Speed, speed!"

Yamashiro Ryuta, the security team's squad leader at the Konoha gate, waved his hands vigorously, issuing orders to the security team members waiting behind him. Like hounds in the night, they moved with professionalism and clear purpose towards the back mountain.

The originally peaceful village was broken by the sudden wail of sirens. Villagers poked their heads out of their houses, curiously watching the group.

On the street at this moment, Sora Uchiha was walking in the direction of his home, very satisfied with the power of his new jutsu.

He had actually killed that Sunagakure chunin in one move.

The only pity was that he had originally intended to interrogate the monkey-faced man about his purpose for infiltrating Konoha this time. Now that there were no witnesses, he naturally didn't get any useful information.

"Thump, thump, thump—"

Directly ahead, the security team was approaching in a rush.

He paused slightly, sidestepped to let them pass, and lowered his head a little.

Yamashiro Ryuta had initially paid no attention to this child, his priority being to investigate the explosion in the back mountain. However, his peripheral vision suddenly caught the "table tennis" symbol behind Sora Uchiha, which represented the Uchiha Clan.

His eyes flickered slightly. He signaled for the others to continue on their way, while he stopped in front of Sora Uchiha.

"Hey, Uchiha brat, what are you doing out on the streets so late?"

Sora Uchiha froze at the words. Uchiha brat?

He had never heard anyone call him that before. Now, hearing it, he felt a strange sense of being a "second generation."

He raised his head and looked calmly at Yamashiro Ryuta. "I was just cultivating and am on my way home. The Uchiha territory is ahead."

Yamashiro Ryuta was taken aback. He thought to himself, This kid is too bold for his age. Which child in the village isn't timid when they see me? This kind of 'calmness' is quite unusual, I must say.

He waved his hand.

"I'm not interrogating you. I just wanted to ask if you noticed anything unusual just now."

Sora Uchiha nodded gently. "There was an explosion in the back mountain just now."

"Did you notice anyone suspicious?" Yamashiro Ryuta's eyes lit up.

"No. As soon as I heard the explosion, I ran back," he said, revealing a row of white teeth. "After all, I'm just a child. How could I possibly pay special attention?"

Yamashiro Ryuta thought it made sense. He waved his hand. "Alright, go home early. It's been restless lately, so go out less."

With that, he continued towards the back mountain...

Sora Uchiha's gaze was a little strange. This guy, who called him an "Uchiha brat," actually reminded him to stay home.

He lowered his head and chuckled, then continued on his way home.

As for the explosion?

It was naturally caused by his use of "Uchiha's Glory."

Thinking of this, he subconsciously touched his eyes.

The moment he used "Uchiha's Glory" just now, he felt the world slow down, and an unprecedented power filled his eyes.

He knew that was the power of the Sharingan, and even the Mangekyo!

Unfortunately, the Mangekyo Sharingan seemed to only appear for a moment when he used that move, and then returned to normal. It was fleeting, but he could feel a sharp pain in his eyes at that moment.

He guessed that even though he hadn't awakened the Sharingan, the Mangekyo that appeared for that instant would still damage his eyes.

"Sigh, forget it. Regardless, I'm an Uchiha who can use the Sharingan... right?"

With countless lights shining, there was always one meant for him.

Sora Uchiha stood at the entrance, looking up at the lights on the second floor, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Without stopping, he arrived at the door. Just as he was about to take out his key and open it, Click.

The door opened from the inside, and a child with naturally curly hair immediately rushed towards him. "Brother! You're back!"

Sora Uchiha was startled and quickly reached out to catch the child, his eyes filled with tenderness. He smiled and said, "Shisui, did you miss me while I was away?"

Yes, this child with naturally curly hair was the future "Body Flicker Shisui," Shisui Uchiha.

Sora Uchiha had transmigrated and become Shisui Uchiha's older brother.

"Mhm! I missed you so much, brother. Oh, and today I learned the Great Fireball Technique!" Shisui said, looking at Sora with anticipation.

A child's thoughts were easy to understand. Sora Uchiha immediately grasped Shisui's little wish. He gave him a thumbs-up.

"That's amazing, Shisui! You're only six years old and you've already learned the Great Fireball Technique. You're much stronger than me."

"Really?"

"Really." He smiled. He seemed to have learned the Great Fireball Technique when he was nine, right? Truly, his talent wasn't strong at all. If it weren't for the system, Whether he could pass the Chunin Exams today would have been a problem.

After receiving his praise, Shisui was clearly much happier. He jumped down from Sora's arms and grabbed his hand, pulling him into the house.

"Heh, how was the Chunin Exam today?"

"Naturally, first place."

"Wow, as expected of my brother, you're amazing."

Inside the room, a man sat cross-legged on a futon. Just by being there, one could feel a sense of pressure.

Sora Uchiha put away his playful mood with Shisui and walked up to the man, respectfully calling out, "Father."

Momosuke Uchiha, his father, the son of Kagami Uchiha. (A character not mentioned in the original work. Some say Kagami Uchiha is Shisui's father, but I feel the timeline doesn't quite match, so in this book, Kagami Uchiha is set as Shisui's grandfather.)

Momosuke glanced at him and nodded gently, "Sit."

Sora Uchiha sat down opposite Momosuke. He held great respect for this father of Shisui, who never appeared in the original work.

"Today, what do you think of the strength of Konoha's younger generation?" Momosuke poured Sora Uchiha a cup of tea, asking casually.

"The younger generation's talent is quite good; they shouldn't be underestimated in the future," Sora Uchiha said seriously.

"Oh? And how do you compare?"

"We are not on the same level," he stated calmly.

"Good!" Momosuke slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, as expected of my son."

Sora Uchiha relaxed his body, listening to his tone.

Momosuke stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. Opposite them, the Uchiha compound was peaceful, the night quiet. Occasionally, security team members could be seen moving across the rooftops.

"Just now, did something happen in the back mountains?"

"Sunagakure scouts were investigating Konoha," Sora Uchiha replied truthfully. There was no need to hide it from family.

"Sunagakure?" Momosuke raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Trying to take advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble in Konoha?"

He sat back down and took a sip of tea. "What was that explosion?"

"I was trying out a new ninjutsu."

"Oh? That powerful? Which ninjutsu?"

"It's one I created myself, Fire Release, named Uchiha's Glory."

Upon hearing this, Momosuke was startled. A self-created ninjutsu that even attracted the attention of the security team. At such a young age, even knowing it was his son, he was still shocked.

"Uchiha's Glory, you really dare to name it that." He chuckled lightly, not pressing further.

Sora Uchiha suddenly thought of something and asked, "Regarding the Sunagakure matter, should we inform Konoha?"

"Inform them? Why should we?" Momosuke snorted. "That Third Hokage fellow wants to weaken the Uchiha's influence all the time. If this continues, the Uchiha will be finished sooner or later."

"To change our status, we need a catalyst, something to make Konoha realize the Uchiha's power is indispensable. Sunagakure? They've come at the perfect time."

"Right, did you handle the bodies?"

Sora Uchiha nodded. He liked to be prepared, so he had disposed of the bodies before leaving.

The night deepened.

Sora Uchiha's gaze was profound. His father was right.

To change the Uchiha's current predicament, a "major event" was indeed needed as a catalyst.

The Kikyo Mountain Battle?

It's coming at just the right time.
