"He discovered me?!"

The blazing Great Sun cannot tolerate sly behavior...

Instinctively, inside the tightly closed shrine, starting with the Uchiha Yashiro, every Uchiha stepped forward to receive the "Cursed Seal of Silence Incision." The one performing the procedure was none other than Roy's father... Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Setsuna was old after all and didn't have many years left to live. He leaned on his cane, closed his eyes, and stood to the side, like a stone statue, silent yet exuding majesty.

Only when Roy suddenly looked up in a certain direction did she turn her head to glance at him and ask with concern, "What's wrong, child?"

Two suns flickered in Roy's pupils, hidden behind his bangs. Earlier... a thought had crossed his mind; something felt off. He had just activated [Circle], its radius expanding outwards, instantly enveloping the entire shrine. Only then did he realize... a new gaze had appeared within the shrine...

Unfortunately, the distance was too great... there was no way to use the Heart Bug to invade that person's heart... Roy merely activated the [Eyes of Truth] to see through the illusion, giving the other party a warning. When he withdrew his gaze, he actually had a vague guess in his heart...

Aside from the Third Hokage, who enjoys using the "Clairvoyance Jutsu" to spy, and Orochimaru, who is extremely good at hiding and dreams of achieving immortality through scientific research, there's also a certain Pervy Sage who loves to spy on women's bathhouses.

However... considering this distance, even the Heart Bug couldn't connect with the other party along the causal branches...

It must be the Third Hokage – Sarutobi Hiruzen!

It's not surprising that he did this, especially since today is the Uchiha Clan's annual gathering.

"It's nothing, I just... accidentally found a mouse." Using the Nen Barrier formed by [Circle], resembling a giant, upside-down bowl surrounding the shrine, Roy casually remarked. In a flash, he repeatedly caught Sarutobi Hiruzen Chakra, and ruthlessly drove him away...

Behind that desk in the Hokage Building, symbolizing the highest power in Konoha...

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened and closed his eyes repeatedly, testing the waters... but each time his attempts were thwarted.

The old man was in his early fifties, with several deep wrinkles faintly visible on his forehead. For a moment, he fell silent.

A moment later, he leaned back in his chair, no longer trying to infuse the Crystal Ball with Chakra. He closed his eyes one last time, and opened them again after ten seconds... His pupils seemed to have foolishly stared directly at the sun; under the bright light, double images appeared, and the black dot in the very center seemed to have moved out of sight and towards the corner of his eye.

I spent it directly...

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't remember exactly when... Ever since he developed the [Clairvoyance Jutsu], his surveillance of Konoha had never failed. It could be said that even the Hyuga clan, who were most skilled in "sensing" and "far-seeing," couldn't match the distance and breadth of vision of the [Clairvoyance Jutsu].

However, after a lifetime of hunting geese, he eventually got his eye pecked by one Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a long time, recalling the Sun-Earring Boy's youthful face that bore a seven-tenths resemblance to Uchiha Fugaku. Once his eyes regained focus, he opened a drawer, pulled out a blank scroll, dipped his brush in ink, and after a moment of contemplation, wrote four characters on the scroll— Uchiha Jin!

Note: Another Sun-Earring Boy Uchiha genius suspected of awakening the Sharingan; Dojutsu: Illusion Jutsu- like repulsion ability suspected to be "super-sensory"... possibly possesses a high level of counter-surveillance awareness... strength?

Sarutobi Hiruzen, beckoned a member of the Anbu, and soon brought over a document Roy had compiled during his time at the Ninja Academy. He examined it meticulously, line by line... and compared it to Roy's remarkable performance of killing one person with a single strike on the battlefield. With a bold stroke, he wrote "Key Observer" next to Roy's name!

The so-called "key observation" usually involves Anbu surveillance and recording by undercover agents... but when it was realized that... the Sun-Earring Boy possessed extremely strong counter-surveillance awareness and methods...

Sarutobi Hiruzen up his pen again, crossed out "key investigation," and slowly got up... He then strolled to the window, gazing at the Uchiha Clan's residence through the streets and alleys, and decided... he had to do it himself.

It just so happens to be graduation season again, and as the principal of the Ninja Academy and part-time Hokage, it's time for him to return to the school to visit the Shinobu and assess their Will of Fire.

This time, it remains to be seen whether... the Sun-Earring Boy from the Uchiha clan will come to his senses.

Sarutobi Hiruzen open the window, opened his hand and caught a leaf drifting in the wind, then released it, letting it swirl and float into the distance... like a flame... Wherever Konoha dance, fire burns eternally.

[Prompt... "Potential Believer" Uchiha Inabi, grateful for your opening of her Sharingan, has been awarded a medal, loyalty +20... Officialization officially Believer...]

[Believer: Uchiha Inabi... Single tomoe → Three-Tomoe...]

[Power of Faith +1]

[Prompt... "Potential Believer" Uchiha Takuya... Uchiha Ryosuke, grateful for your opening of his Sharingan, has completed the awarding of his title, loyalty +20... He has now been officially Officialization as Believer...]

..]

[Believer: Uchiha Takuya, Ryosuke... for awakening the Sharingan → single tomoe...]

[Power of Faith +1 +1]

[Cursed Seal of Silence] was completed... Led by Uchiha Fugaku, along with Uchiha Setsuna, Yashiro, Inabi, Tekka, and other Uchiha, a group of people discussed and decided on several "Awakening Spots" based on factors such as "merit," "losses," "potential," and "appeasement," and informed Roy.

Roy stood quietly to the side, with the serene Shisui beside him, occasionally receiving help from the other Uchiha...

Such as Obito's... earnest and ardent gaze...

A moment later, he injected "Negative Emotions" into Inabi, Tekka, and the others in turn to help them open their eyes or further open their eyes to increase the number of tomoe... As the panel prompts, while the "Negative Emotions" were being cleared, Roy's direction for developing "Dojutsu" became clearer and clearer.

Just like [Tsukuyomi] and [Amaterasu] for Itachi... [Kagutsuchi] for Sasuke... [Kotoamatsukami] for Shisui...

Before developing the "Mangekyō," the Sharingan primarily focuses on three abilities: "Insight," "Copy," and "Illusion Jutsu." For Roy, "Insight" is inherent to his Sharingan, as is "Copy." The remaining ability... "Illusion Jutsu"...

Because everyone's understanding of the world, as well as their own personality and outlook on life, will differ, different forms and differences will emerge...

"And what about me? In what form should my Illusion Jutsu be presented?"

As Roy's palm covered the heads of Uchiha Inabi, Tekka, and the others, "Negative Emotions" slowly seeped into their hearts. Roy recalled Itachi's crows... the various scenes Itachi displayed when fighting Kakashi and Sasuke... he immediately identified one word—"worldview"!

The so-called "Illusion Jutsu" is the use of the Sharingan to impose one's own worldview and perception on the opponent, trapping them in a self-created worldview from which they cannot escape. Just like now... Roy only needs a thought to release the [Sun Trait] protecting Uchiha Inabi, Tekka, and the others, allowing the [Negative Emotions] to overwhelm and destroy them...

The Sun-Earring Boy's eyes, a mixture of clarity and bloodlust, already held the answer!

[Prompt... "Potential Believer" Uchiha Yashiro, grateful for your grace in opening his Sharingan, has been awarded a medal, loyalty +20... Now Officialization Believer...]

[Believer: Uchiha Tekka... Double tomoe → Three-Tomoe...]

[Power of Faith +1]

[Host's current "Negative Emotions" have been reduced to zero]

The last trace of "Negative Emotions" was completely exhausted... The last person... was none other than Uchiha Yashiro Uchiha Clan and served as the deputy head of the Police Force. He was also his father and the old man whom Uchiha Setsuna regarded as a pillar of strength.

"Buzz..." An invisible wave spread out... Three tomoe slowly rotated in the scarlet eyes...

The Uchiha Yashiro composed himself, suppressing his excitement and joy, and bowed to Roy, saying, "Thank you, Young Clan Head!"

Beside him, Uchiha Inabi, Tekka, Takuya, and Ryosuke bowed... After them, every single Uchiha clan member who hadn't received a turn this time looked on with envy. Was it disappointment...? Certainly... Obito lowered his eyes, touching his conscience, and said... Regardless of contributions or sacrifices to the clan... as an orphan, he had no family to lose, and secondly, he usually revolved around Rin, rarely paying attention to clan affairs, mostly just going through the motions... so it was only natural that he wouldn't get a turn.

But... I really want it, I really want to see it...

The clan meeting concluded in a peaceful atmosphere.

The shrine gate creaked open. Obito hadn't heard a word of the rest of the meeting, his gaze fixed intently on the Sun-Earring Boy subtly sandwiched between Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Setsuna. Even as Uchiha Fugaku adjourned the Obito meeting... he remained like a statue, his eyes glued to the departing figures of Uchiha Fugaku and the Sun-Earring Boy until... they disappeared into the shadows of the trees, only then did he snap out of his daze.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Some were happy... some were sad... some were regretful... some were excited... After this clan gathering, the Uchiha members displayed a variety of emotions...

Roy, with his back to the shrine's facade, symbolizing the Sharingan, strolled home with his father, Fugaku. He clearly saw Obito's performance, and his ears twitched as he overheard Fugaku say, "Obito is a good kid, but unfortunately, his talent is lacking. If his teacher hadn't been Minato, given the clan's care for orphans, he should have been one of them this time."

Obito Uchiha Obito... Namikaze Minato Yellow Flash... The choices made by his father and the clan elders weren't without reason. First, there's his talent; second, there's his stance. It's flawless. But, is someone who can awaken [Kamui] truly lacking in talent?

It can only be said that... the new generation of Uchiha, such as Itachi and Shisui, are too strong, making him seem less impressive... As for sunshine... in the original work, this pitiful and tragic person, who experienced the death of his beloved, was later manipulated by Madara and Black Zetsu, and finally had a change of heart and reconciled with Kakashi, still couldn't let the darkness devour the last ray of sunshine in his heart... Compared to Itachi's massacre of his entire clan, Shisui's attempt to use Kotoamatsukami to modify the will of his entire clan... he was already the tallest among the short, not an extremely extreme person.

"I think he's not bad," Roy smiled, his profile resembling that of Mikoto Fugaku, causing Fugaku to turn his head and look at him, momentarily dazed...

The man stopped and looked the Sun-Earring Boy up and down, as if he were seeing him for the first time. His gaze was deep as he said, "Like you?"

Fugaku looked intently at Roy: "Son, tell me, what else are you hiding?"

The Sun-Earring Boy smiled and shrugged, "Who knows? Maybe... that's all there is."

Uchiha Fugaku: "6"

A twitch at the corner of his mouth, followed by a smile... "Alright."

With a single step, he began to walk again...

"Tap... tap..." The father and son, one on the left and one on the right, strolled along...

Sunlight streamed down, casting long shadows of the two people, one large and one small, swaying gently in the breeze...

At one point, Roy realized that his Clone to penetrate the Hokage world with a clone had ultimately failed. Then... the panel displayed... [Warning: Less than one minute remaining...]

Roy stopped in his tracks, turned to Fugaku, and said, "Dad, I'm sleepy."

Fugaku: "It's just a few steps, I'll sleep when I get home..."

No, I want to sleep now.

Fugaku stopped in his tracks, glanced back at the Sun-Earring Boy, then knelt down, revealing his back, which, while not as broad as Silva's, was still quite upright. "I really can't do anything with you. Get on top."

Roy smiled, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and struggled to climb up. He wrapped his arms around Fugaku's neck, pressed his face against his back, listened to the man's strong heartbeat, and then closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep... a soft, hoarse snore escaped his lips...

Two parallel shadows overlapped... On this afternoon, which wasn't hot but still retained a hint of early spring chill, Fugaku slowly rose, supporting Roy's legs with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly but firmly towards home.

The familiar feeling of falling washed over me...

When Roy's consciousness returns, through [deep sleep], he returns to his own Cognitive World, then passes through a familiar Dream Passage, leaving the world of Hokage and returning to the world of Hunter.

On the Yorbian, about 300 nautical miles west of the coastal city of Vibis, at a depth of 10,000 meters, inside an underwater ruin resembling a Gothic cathedral, Roy's Clone, sitting cross-legged on Land of No Owner, exploded with a "bang," forming a Nen Flow carrying a massive amount of information that surged in... while Roy's main body was fighting against "Fake Ging"...

With three swords in hand, the Sun-Earring Boy wielded them, one each representing "sun," "water," and "wind," forcing the Fake Ging back, each retreating a hundred meters... Suddenly, a crimson glint appeared in his clear eyes!

"Roy... is he in a killing frenzy?"

Hunter Association, in that spacious volleyball court that belonged exclusively to Netero...

Inside the laboratory on the third basement floor of the Voyage Bureau, marked [54-714-01], symbolizing the first victim of the July 14, 1954 disaster, a twisted, rope-like experimental subject is projected onto a screen. The image clearly reflects the Sun-Earring Boy's eyes, which had turned from white to red...

Wing adjusted his glasses, noticing Roy's unusual behavior. He exclaimed in surprise, feeling slightly numb from the series of shocks he had been thrown over...

"Bloody eyes don't necessarily mean completely red eyes," Biscuit stared intently at the screen, narrowing his eyes. "Looking at it... it looks more like Scarlet Eyes?"

"Old man, is Roy's mother from the Kurta clan?"

The old woman glanced at him out of the corner of her eye... Netero remained silent.

Upon closer inspection... in the scene, the Sun-Earring Boy's eyes not only reddened, but three new tomoe (magatama) appeared, slowly rotating. His lips moved, as if he were saying something...
