Inside the Hokage's office.
"Third Hokage, this person's identity should be a ninja from Sunagakure."
"The one who died was Gen 10, and we have already arranged for pension payments to be sent to his family."
"The one who killed this invading ninja is a new member of the Konoha Military Police Force, Uchiha Roy."
In just a few short minutes, the Anbu had already investigated the full sequence of events.
They placed a file in front of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Huu..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a heavy cloud of smoke, a grave expression appearing on his face.
"I understand."
"You may go."
After signing the file, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke slowly.
"Yes."
The Anbu member nodded, then vanished from the room.
Once the Anbu member had disappeared, a figure stepped out from the shadows.
"This name isn't unfamiliar to you, is it?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen tossed the file in his hand toward the other man.
"What do you mean?"
The person who caught the file was none other than Shimura Danzō.
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's question, he retorted with one of his own.
"Some things are better left known only to you."
"Do not go too far."
As Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, he exhaled another heavy cloud of smoke.
Danzō did not continue to press the matter, instead vanishing back into the shadows with the file in hand.
Meanwhile, inside the courtyard of the Uchiha clan head.
"Roy?"
Hearing this name, Uchiha Fugaku was also somewhat stunned.
He had not expected that he would hear the name of an ordinary clansman twice in such a short period of time.
"Clan Head, this is a combat analysis synthesized from the information provided by those present at the scene."
"Majiro, a Special Jonin."
"Both in terms of strength and combat experience, he far surpassed that kid Roy."
"But what is very strange is that his ninjutsu seemed to have no effect on Roy."
"Caught off guard, he was killed in a surprise attack."
Uchiha Natsume was also somewhat puzzled.
Although the Uchiha were arrogant, they were not fools.
A ninja who had just passed the Chunin Exams, relying solely on a two-tomoe Sharingan, had managed to instantly kill a Special Jonin!
Such a thing naturally made one suspicious.
"I understand."
"This is a promising talent; you should focus on cultivating him."
"The Uchiha do not lack geniuses; what we lack are geniuses who stand on the side of the Uchiha."
After Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking, he closed the file in his hands.
"Understood, Clan Head."
Uchiha Natsume acknowledged the order, then rose and left.
At this moment, Roy had already returned to his room.
He had not expected that an action of his would actually draw the attention of so many big shots.
Of course, even if Roy knew, he would not panic.
"System, panel."
Roy summoned his panel.
Host: Uchiha Roy Ninjutsu: Fire Style: Fireball Explosion, Fire Style, Blue Flame; Lightning Style: Lightning Snake Frenzy, Lightning Style: White Worm Taijutsu: Konoha Style Taijutsu, Uchiha Style Taijutsu
Genjutsu: Thorn Bind
Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan [2 Tomoe], Mera Mera no Mi
Fixed Chakra: 3000
Items: Improved Explosive Tag *100, Improved Kunai *50, Over-fulfillment Mission Pack.
Functions: Portable Space [1000m³]
Main Mission: Save the Uchiha [Mission Requirement: After the Night of the Massacre, preserve as many Uchiha clansmen as possible. The higher the number of survivors, the higher the rank and the more generous the rewards.]
Random Mission: Persuade Uchiha Shisui... [Progress 50%]
Having completed two random missions, combined with the rewards from the Newbie Gift Pack.
His fixed chakra had reached 3000, and he had also been rewarded with two ninjutsu this time.
In less than ten days, Roy's strength had already improved significantly.
If he continued like this, Roy would soon possess enough strength to face the current crisis.
Immediately, Roy turned his gaze toward that Over-fulfillment Mission Pack.
That's right, Roy had over-fulfilled this random mission.
It was not only because Roy had defeated Majiro and protected the safety of Konoha.
It was also because Roy's actions had caused the villagers to begin changing their perception of the Uchiha.
These were all calculated into the mission completion rate.
"System, open the Over-fulfillment Mission Pack."
Roy chose to open it without hesitation.
Right now, what he needed was strength; he could not miss any method that could enhance his power.
"Ding, opening Over-fulfillment Mission Pack."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Kusanagi Sword: Turin and the special sword skill Phantom."
As the system's prompt sounded, a Kusanagi sword appeared in Roy's hand.
[Kusanagi Sword: Turin: One of the 9 swords scattered across the world, the soul sword Turin, capable of directly striking the soul.]
[Phantom: Turin's exclusive sword skill, capable of dispersing up to ten thousand physical phantom slashes.]
Looking at the description of the rewards before him, Roy's breathing became slightly rapid.
It wasn't as if he hadn't heard of the Kusanagi sword.
The one used by Sasuke and Orochimaru was the Kusanagi sword that appeared most frequently.
Furthermore, the Totsuka Blade in the hand of Uchiha Itachi's Susanoo was also one of the Kusanagi swords.
Its power was certainly no joke.
It seems that all future missions must be over-fulfilled.
Roy thought to himself.
The rewards for random missions were generally fixed chakra, followed by some ninja tools or items.
The rewards from the Over-fulfillment Pack were truly a bit too tempting.
"Swish..."
Just as Roy was rejoicing, a figure appeared in his courtyard.
"Lord Shisui?"
"Mission accomplished?"
Looking at the person who appeared, Roy calmly put away his interface.
"Mm."
"I didn't expect that the first thing I would hear upon returning would be your name again."
"Roy, you did very well."
Shisui had originally thought that Roy would fall into darkness due to the previous incident.
He hadn't expected that the bright smile on Roy's face earlier was genuine.
Facing a strong enemy with calm composure.
Rescuing the villagers caught in the crossfire immediately.
This... was the Uchiha he wanted to see.
"Lord Shisui, are you prepared to give me an answer?"
As soon as Roy thought of those generous rewards, he became eager to persuade Shisui.
"Don't call me Lord anymore."
"I am a few years your senior; if you don't mind, how about calling me brother?"
Uchiha Shisui spoke in a straightforward manner.
His personality was naturally like this, without too many twists and turns.
"Then I shall listen, Big Brother Shisui."
Roy stood up and said with a smile.
"That phrase: if the home does not exist, then the village cannot remain."
"I have thought about it for a long time; is there something you want to tell me?"
"Or perhaps... do you know something?"
As Shisui spoke, he sat directly on the ground, looking at Roy with a serious expression.
He was convinced that if Roy did not know something, he would never have uttered such remarks.
Even the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, currently found it difficult to discern the village's true attitude.
Let alone a clansman who had just become a Chunin.
