I Have a Bold Idea

"You did well and didn't disgrace the Uchiha Clan. As for those Shimura Family bastards, they deserved a harsh lesson."

This was what Uchiha Minami said to Uchiha Yuan before leaving. Their group had arrived quickly and left just as fast.

Quietness soon returned to the small woods, and then Uchiha Shisui said his goodbyes and left.

Returning to the classroom, Uchiha Yuan saw Hyuga Kagami walking up to Hatake Harukaze.

His ears twitched slightly, and the conversation between the two reached him.

"Harukaze, if you encounter trouble, you can tell me. Aside from the Uchiha, the prestige of my Hyuga can also keep you from being bullied."

Hearing Hyuga Kagami's words, Hatake Harukaze looked somewhat confused. "Kagami, I don't understand what you mean."

Hyuga Kagami said, "Didn't Uchiha Yuan have a conflict with Shimura Ken from the sixth year because of you?"

"Yes, thanks to Yuan stepping in to help, otherwise I would have suffered even greater bullying from them."

Mentioning this, Hatake Harukaze's expression dimmed, and he continued, "I'm still too weak. But how did you know about this, Kagami?"

Hyuga Kagami said, "I heard it from an older clan brother in the sixth year. Your conflict has already spread among the Ninja Academy students. Someone saw Uchiha Yuan single-handedly knock down Shimura Ken and all his people."

"Right, my clan brother also said that Shimura Ken's older brother, Shimura Nozomu, has already taken people to intercept Uchiha Yuan."

Hearing this, Hatake Harukaze was startled, quickly stood up, and said, "I'm going to find Sarutobi-sensei."

Then he saw Uchiha Yuan walking into the classroom.

"Yuan, it's great to see you're okay. Kagami said Shimura Ken's older brother took people to look for you."

Uchiha Yuan smiled slightly. "What could possibly happen to me? Don't forget, I'm an Uchiha.

In Konoha, no one dares to provoke an Uchiha."

Hyuga Kagami walked over and said coldly, "But you can't represent the Uchiha. Your status is merely that of an outer family member of the Uchiha."

Uchiha Yuan didn't care at all about the sarcasm in Hyuga Kagami's words, merely glancing at the other boy indifferently before speaking. "Kagami, the Uchiha are different from the Hyuga. There is no such thing as a Main Family or a Branch Family here.

Who doesn't know that the life and death of the Hyuga Branch Family are completely controlled by the Main Family? The Hyuga Branch Family are simply slaves to the Main Family.

We are both powerful clans in the ninja world, but based on this alone, I believe the Hyuga Clan can never compare to the Uchiha."

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, the veins at the corners of Hyuga Kagami's eyes bulged violently, and he said sharply, "Enough! The affairs of my Hyuga Clan are not your place to criticize."

Uchiha Yuan smiled faintly, then continued, "Hyuga Kagami, strength is my foundation, and I don't care about status within the clan at all.

I have the confidence to let anyone who dares to provoke me know what pain feels like."

At that moment, Uchiha Yuan's eyes flashed with a sharp gaze that made Hyuga Kagami feel a stinging sensation.

He involuntarily averted his gaze slightly, let out a cold snort, and walked away.

Hatake Harukaze said with an apologetic expression, "Yuan, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble because of me."

Uchiha Yuan waved his hand and comforted him. "Harukaze, you don't need to mind. Even without Kakashi-senpai's bowl of ramen, since I ran into it, I wouldn't just sit by and do nothing.

And I believe that if it were Hyuga Kagami or any other classmate, they would have stepped in to help as well."

Hyuga Kagami, who had returned to his seat, had been cocking his ear to listen to the conversation between Uchiha Yuan and Hatake Harukaze.

Hearing this, his expression paused slightly, and then the look on his face softened a lot.

After school.

Uchiha Yuan once again came with Hatake Harukaze to the open space in the Hatake Clan Land to continue instructing him on how to hold the standing post and guide his breathing rhythm to circulate the internal vital energy and blood.

Only this time, Hatake Harukaze was clearly somewhat absent-minded, and not long after holding the stance, he could no longer keep it up.

Seeing Hatake Harukaze's stance begin to slacken, Uchiha Yuan picked up a tree branch and whipped it down.

Then he shouted sternly, "Harukaze! Tighten your body and focus your mind."

After taking a lash from the branch, Hatake Harukaze immediately resumed holding the stance seriously, a clear red bruise appearing on his lower arm.

Uchiha Yuan stood in front of Hatake Harukaze, looked into his eyes, and said, "Do you think you brought me big trouble?"

Don't speak, just listen to me.

You must remember that stepping in to help you was a decision I made myself, and I don't regret it.

If you feel guilty, you should train even more diligently and seriously. Perhaps one day, I will need your help too.

Hearing these words, Hatake Harukaze's eyes instantly lit up, and the expression on his face became even more serious and focused.

Seeing Hatake Harukaze's stance training gradually enter a stable state, Uchiha Yuan walked around for a few steps, his gaze looking casually all around, as if he accidentally swept a few glances toward Kakashi's house.

Today, Uchiha Yuan didn't feel any spying gaze, nor did he detect that cold, chilling aura unlike that of a living being.

However, Uchiha Yuan's intuition told him that Hatake Sakumo's soul was watching this open space.

After meeting Hatake Sakumo, a bold idea gradually arose in Uchiha Yuan's heart: he wanted to take Hatake Sakumo as his master.

Uchiha Yuan was very clear about where his shortcomings lay.

Although he had demonstrated the power of his Taijutsu, he knew very well that it stemmed from his powerful spiritual perception and physical fitness.

If a person were compared to a computer, Uchiha Yuan had upgraded his own hardware because of practicing Senjutsu, and his CPU's processing power and efficiency far exceeded those of anyone else.

Specifically, in his eyes, other people's movements when performing Taijutsu were in slow motion, allowing him to respond with ease.

If his own Taijutsu were compared to a program, then that program was imperfect in its design, completely failing to let his CPU release its full computing power concisely and efficiently.

As for learning Ninjutsu, Uchiha Yuan needed not only to know what it did, but also why it did so.

On this point, neither his family nor the Ninja Academy could help him understand Ninjutsu more deeply.

Although the knowledge and thinking methods from his past life gave him a unique understanding when studying Ninjutsu structures, there were still many questions plaguing him.

At times like this, he needed someone proficient in Ninjutsu to guide him. But given his current status, unvalued in his clan, he couldn't find anyone and didn't know whom to ask for advice.

Hatake Sakumo's title of Konoha White Fang came from his fiercely sharp blade technique, but from the fact that Kakashi could independently create Chidori and Raikiri, one could tell that his family learning was profound.

Moreover, Hatake Sakumo was now a soul lingering in the world out of obsession, and aside from him, no one else could even see him.

This way, he could also hide his own strength without worrying about being exposed.

Therefore, for Uchiha Yuan, Hatake Sakumo was practically a perfect choice to solve his current predicament.

The problem now was how he should approach Hatake Sakumo.

And how he could make Hatake Sakumo willing to teach him.
