I Have a Bold Idea

"You did very well. You didn't disgrace our Uchiha Clan. Those Shimura bastards deserved a harsh lesson."

These were Uchiha Minami's words to Uchiha Yuan before he left. The group had arrived quickly and left just as fast.

The small grove soon returned to silence, and then Uchiha Shisui took his leave.

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

His ears twitched slightly, and the conversation between the two entered his ears.

"Harukaze-kun, if you encounter any trouble, you can tell me. Besides the Uchiha, the prestige of my Hyuga can ensure you are no longer bullied."

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

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

"Yes, thanks to Yuan-kun's help, otherwise I would have suffered even greater humiliation."

Mentioning this, Hatake Harukaze's expression darkened. He continued, "I'm still too weak. But Kagami-kun, how did you know?"

Hyuga Kagami said, "I heard it from my clan brother in the sixth grade. Your conflict has already spread among the academy students. Someone saw Uchiha Yuan single-handedly defeat Shimura Ken and his entire group."

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

Hatake Harukaze was startled by this and quickly stood up. "I need to go find Sarutobi-sensei."

Then he saw Uchiha Yuan walking into the classroom.

"Yuan-kun, I'm so glad to see you're alright. Kagami-kun said Shimura Ken's brother took people to find you."

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

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

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

Uchiha Yuan was unfazed by the sarcasm in Hyuga Kagami's words. He merely glanced at him indifferently and then said, "Kagami-kun, the Uchiha are different from the Hyuga. There's no main family and branch family distinction.

Everyone knows that the life and death of the Hyuga branch family are entirely in the hands of the main family. The Hyuga branch family are slaves to the main family.

Although we are both powerful ninja clans, based on this alone, I believe the Hyuga Clan will never compare to the Uchiha."

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, veins bulged on Hyuga Kagami's eyes, and he said sternly, "Enough! It's not your place to comment on my Hyuga Clan."

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

I am confident that I can make anyone who dares to provoke me understand what pain is."

At this moment, a sharp gaze, dazzling to Hyuga Kagami, erupted from Uchiha Yuan's eyes.

He couldn't help but avert his gaze slightly, let out a cold snort, and walked away.

Hatake Harukaze said with a face full of apology, "Yuan, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."

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

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

Hyuga Kagami, who had returned to his seat, had been listening intently to the conversation between Uchiha Yuan and Hatake Harukaze.

Upon hearing this, his expression couldn't help but pause slightly, and then the expression on his face softened considerably.

After school.

Uchiha Yuan, along with Hatake Harukaze, once again arrived at the open space in the Hatake Clan Land, continuing to guide him on how to practice stances and synchronize breathing rhythms to circulate qi and blood within his body.

However, Hatake Harukaze was clearly distracted today, and couldn't maintain his stance for long.

Seeing Hatake Harukaze start to slacken his stance, Uchiha Yuan picked up a branch and whipped it at him.

He then sternly shouted, "Harukaze! Tighten your body and focus your mind."

After being struck by the branch, Hatake Harukaze immediately resumed practicing his stance with renewed seriousness; a distinct red bruise appeared on his forearm.

Uchiha Yuan stood in front of Hatake Harukaze and looked him in the eyes, saying, "Do you think you've brought me big trouble?"

"Don't speak, just listen to me."

"You must remember that the decision to help you was my own, and I do not regret it."

"If you feel guilty, then you should cultivate with even more seriousness and diligence. Perhaps one day, I will need your help."

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

Seeing Hatake Harukaze's stance practice gradually enter the zone, Uchiha Yuan walked around a few steps, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping around, as if inadvertently glancing at Kakashi's house several times.

Today, Uchiha Yuan did not feel any prying eyes, nor did he detect that cold, chilling aura that was different from living beings.

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

After seeing Hatake Sakumo, a bold idea gradually formed in Uchiha Yuan's mind: he wanted to take Hatake Sakumo as his master.

Uchiha Yuan was very clear about his shortcomings.

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

If a person were compared to a computer, Uchiha Yuan's cultivation of Senjutsu had upgraded his hardware. The processing power of his CPU far surpassed others.

This manifested as, in his eyes, the movements of others when performing Taijutsu were all in slow motion; thus, he could calmly deal with them.

If his own Taijutsu were a program, that program would be imperfect in its design, unable to allow his CPU to release its full processing power concisely and efficiently.

As for learning Ninjutsu, Uchiha Yuan needed to understand not only what it was, but also why it was.

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

Although his knowledge and way of thinking from his previous life gave him a unique understanding when researching Ninjutsu structures, many questions still troubled him.

At this time, he needed someone proficient in Ninjutsu to guide him; however, given his current status, he was not valued within the clan, and he couldn't find anyone or know who to ask for guidance.

Hatake Sakumo's title 'Konoha White Fang' came from his incredibly sharp swordsmanship, but judging by how Kakashi could independently create Chidori and Raikiri, one could tell his family's teachings were profound.

Moreover, Hatake Sakumo was currently a soul lingering in the mortal world due to his obsession, and besides him, no one else could see him.

This way, he could also hide his strength and not worry about exposing himself.

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

The immediate task was how to approach Hatake Sakumo.

And how to make Hatake Sakumo willing to teach him?
