I Am Not Yet Strong

Unfortunately, trouble still found him.

Just after dinner, a fierce-looking woman arrived at his doorstep, dragging the ringleader child along with her.

His mother bowed repeatedly to apologize, shielding Uchiha Cheng behind her, not wanting him to face what was happening.

Neighbors came out to watch the spectacle, but seeing that it was a so-called three-tomoe direct lineage, no one dared to intervene.

"A mere one-tomoe family like yours dares to touch my son? Are you tired of living?"

"I am truly sorry, Madam. It is common for children to bicker and fight. I apologize to you on my child's behalf," Mika said, bowing.

"Mother, he was the one who insulted me first," Uchiha Cheng argued.

"You little bastard, my son would insult you? Don't flatter yourself. With your lowly bloodline, even looking at you for an extra second feels like it's dirtying our eyes."

The woman spat as she cursed, then slapped his mother, Mika, across the face.

That bitch, Uchiha Cheng thought, his heart burning with rage. He gathered his chakra rapidly, preparing to hit the woman with something heavy.

However, just as he prepared to step forward, his mother raised her hand to hold him back. Seeing his mother shake her head slightly, Uchiha Cheng understood and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

There were many onlookers, but everyone watched with cold eyes, occasionally letting out jeers and mockery.

"It serves them right for provoking someone with a high-ranking bloodline."

"What kind of low-born trash dares to provoke a three-tomoe family?"

It seemed this so-called three-tomoe direct lineage held supreme deterrent power.

After three full hours of verbal abuse, the woman finally strutted away. The crowd dispersed, leaving the mother and son in silence.

"Mother, I was wrong!" Uchiha Cheng admitted.

Mika rubbed Uchiha Cheng's head.

"Think twice before you act next time."

Uchiha Cheng nodded silently.

After this incident, he saw clearly that the Uchiha Clan was all about bloodline supremacy. The more tomoe one unlocked, the higher their status. All that talk about the Uchiha Clan being a clan of love was complete nonsense.

The depictions of the good side of the Uchiha Clan in the original story were basically all fake, or viewed through a filtered lens.

If the Uchiha Clan were truly a clan of love—and deep love at that—given that the Sharingan awakens through emotional trauma, would Shimura Danzō and Uchiha Obito, who wiped out the Uchiha Clan, have failed to find even a single pair of Mangekyō in their inventory?

Having just gone through the Third Shinobi World War a few years prior, the Uchiha Clan, which had lost many members, could not produce a single pair of Mangekyō. This could only mean that no one felt any grief for their fallen kin.

The few in the clan who had unlocked the Mangekyō, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui, were both people who did not approve of the clan's ways, which only proved the point further.

He looked in the direction the woman had left, engraving what had happened into his heart. He sneered internally.

The Uchiha Clan was nothing more than a family rotten to the core, sitting on a mountain of treasure yet begging for food with a golden bowl; they deserved to be wiped out.

You bully and humiliate me today, but in the future, I will pay it back a hundredfold.

When my Rinnegan is fully realized, if Uchiha Itachi doesn't scatter your ashes, I will do it myself.

I am not yet strong, but when I am, things will change.
