The Following Uchiha Shisui

What does an Uchiha look like?

Arrogant, conceited, proud, and domineering.

At this moment, Uchiha Yuan's demeanor perfectly fit everyone's impression of the Uchiha Clan.

Under his sharp gaze, the onlookers couldn't help but avert their eyes, avoiding eye contact with him.

"Hmph."

Uchiha Yuan snorted coldly, then strode out of the training ground.

When he reached the crowd of onlookers, the crowd automatically parted. Uchiha Yuan walked through them with an arrogant expression.

In the crowd, Hyuga Kagami's gaze was fixed on Uchiha Yuan's retreating back, his fists clenched tightly.

He felt extremely annoyed, annoyed that he had actually been intimidated by the opponent's aura at that moment.

This was something his pride as a member of the Hyuga Clan would not allow!

He really wanted to call out to Uchiha Yuan and challenge him as well; however, he knew very well that with the skill Uchiha Yuan had displayed, he was probably no match for him now.

On the other side of the crowd, Senju Gen was also watching Uchiha Yuan's retreating figure.

His expression was somewhat complex. 'Uchiha Yuan, you probably didn't use your full strength, did you?'

Senju Gen keenly felt that Uchiha Yuan had clearly held back his strength several times during his attacks. According to his judgment, Uchiha Yuan could have ended the match within the first twenty rounds.

'As expected of the Uchiha that our clan considers our only rival.'

His mind was still replaying Uchiha Yuan's few Taijutsu combos, which were full of skillful beauty, and his eyes revealed a proud fighting spirit.

Uchiha compound.

Uchiha Yuan walked alone on the road home, in a quiet alley.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look in the direction of the alley entrance, saying, "I wonder who has been following me."

Ever since he left the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Yuan had sensed a presence following him.

At first, he was a little worried, thinking he had attracted the attention of the village, so he had pretended to be unaware all along. But after entering the compound, this presence was still behind him.

This made Uchiha Yuan secretly relieved. He didn't believe that ninjas from the village could hide their actions from the clan's attention.

Then, he became curious. Who would be following him?

The tracker should also be an Uchiha.

Swish!

Uchiha Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes, and a young man appeared before him.

Seeing the young man, Uchiha Yuan couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"It's you, Shisui-senpai."

Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Yuan and showed a gentle smile.

"Yuan-kun, very good perception. When did you discover me?"

Uchiha Yuan said, "I discovered you at the entrance of the Ninja Academy."

Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "Haha, Yuan-kun is indeed very powerful."

"Senpai, you are a genius that both the village and the clan pay close attention to. Why are you secretly following me?"

Uchiha Shisui showed a humble smile and said, "I passed by the training ground before and saw the Taijutsu you displayed. It was a series of very beautiful moves.

So I became curious and followed you."

After a pause, Uchiha Shisui asked, "Yuan-kun, I see that your Taijutsu is very different from the clan's Taijutsu style. Who did you learn it from?"

Uchiha Yuan said, "I figured it all out myself."

Hearing that those Taijutsu moves were figured out by Uchiha Yuan himself, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but show surprise.

Then he smiled and said, "If there's a chance, you and I can spar. Perhaps I can learn a few moves from it."

Uchiha Yuan's eyes moved slightly and he said, "I am looking forward to sparring with you, senpai. Your words will surely help me discover my own shortcomings."

At this moment, Uchiha Shisui put away his smile, his expression becoming very serious, and said, "Yuan-kun, actually, I followed you because I have something to tell you."

"Please speak, senpai."

"Our Uchiha Clan is too proud, which has led to strained relationships with other ninja clans in the village.

Especially recently, there have been rumors about the clan in the village, which has made the villagers very dissatisfied with the clan. This is not good for the clan."

Hearing this, Uchiha Yuan said, "Senpai, you hope the clan can ease its relationship with the other ninja clans in the village."

"Yes, ever since the Senju Clan declined, the clan members have become more and more arrogant; this has caused dissatisfaction among many people in the village, which makes me very worried about the clan's future."

"Senpai is worried that the clan's future will conflict with the village?"

Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Yuan with some surprise. He didn't expect Uchiha Yuan to be so sharp-witted, as if he had seen through his thoughts.

"Yes."

Uchiha Yuan shrugged and asked with a confused look, "But senpai, why are you telling me this? I'm not as valued by the village and the clan as you are."

"I'm just a Ninja Academy student, and in the clan, I'm just an ordinary clan member."

Uchiha Shisui said, "I believe that to change the relationship between the clan and the other people in the village, it must start with us. Our classmates in the Ninja Academy come from various ninja clans and civilian families.

By befriending them and deepening our bonds, we can surely improve the relationship between the clan and the village in the future."

"I understand what you mean, Senior."

Uchiha Yuan nodded, then said, "Senior, you must have said these words to more than just me."

Uchiha Shisui showed a hint of distress and nodded gently, saying, "Yes. It's just that the other clan members simply cannot understand my thoughts."

Then, Uchiha Shisui's expression became slightly urgent as he asked, "Yuan, what do you think?"

Uchiha Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Senior, do you know about the White Fang incident a few years ago? What do you think about it?"

Uchiha Shisui was stunned, "White Fang?"

Then, he said with regret, "Hatake Sakumo Senior, it's such a pity.

I've heard of Sakumo Senior's deeds. Even the arrogant clan members in the clan admired him greatly.

I don't understand why he committed suicide. If he made a mistake and sincerely repented to the village, I believe the Third Hokage and the others would have forgiven White Fang Senior.

Alas, if only he hadn't violated the village's rules, this tragedy wouldn't have happened."

Hearing Shisui's words, Uchiha Yuan secretly sighed in his heart.

Shisui is truly a simple and naive guy.

At this moment, Uchiha Yuan realized that Uchiha Shisui would be a pitfall. Perhaps he meant no harm, but with his loyalty to the village, if Uchiha Yuan performed too outstandingly, the village would notice him through him.

He decided to keep his distance from Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui asked doubtfully, "Why did you suddenly bring up White Fang Senior?"

Uchiha Yuan said, "It's nothing. It's just that the recent rumors about the clan reminded me of White Fang Senior, who also suffered from rumors a few years ago."

Then, Uchiha Yuan said with a serious expression, "What Senior is worried about is completely impossible. Konoha was built by the Uchiha and the Senju together. The Uchiha clan's love for the village is the same as everyone else's."

"As for Senior mentioning befriending classmates in the Ninja Academy, I don't think everyone is qualified to be friends with an Uchiha. The Uchiha are strong people, and the eyes of the strong only see other strong people."

After listening to Uchiha Yuan's words, Uchiha Shisui fell silent. A hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

"Yuan, I think you can still put aside your pride. Every classmate is a comrade we can trust on the battlefield."

Immediately, his figure flashed, and he leaped onto a wall more than ten meters away. Then, with several consecutive jumps, he disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye.
