Kei was overjoyed. Today, his life had finally reached a turning point, and with it came the hope of change.
After living in the Naruto world for two years, Kei had finally understood what talent was.
Talent was just that: something bestowed by heaven. You either had it or you didn't.
And Kei, as it happened, had none.
What did it mean to have no talent? Those so-called famous dead-last students in Konoha who supposedly lacked talent were all nonsense. They were actually gifted in their own ways. Once their potential was uncovered, they grew at an astonishing rate.
To find truly talentless people, you had to look at the nameless extras who were killed off as soon as they appeared.
And Kei was the perfect example.
In terms of the resources at Kei's disposal, the education he could get was far better than what anyone in Konoha had.
Uchiha Gen, the leader of the Iga, a master of ninjutsu and genjutsu, and a ninjutsu professor no less skilled than the Third, Sarutobi Hiruzen. She was the foremost educator in the Shinobi World during the Shogunate era.
Uchiha Danjo, the leader of the Koga and a master of Taijutsu. His swordsmanship experience was enough to teach Tenshen. If he hadn't grown old, his skill with a blade alone would have let him dominate the Shinobi World.

After two full years of training under these two, Uchiha Kei had finally awakened a single-tomoe Sharingan. He could barely be considered a Chunin, and had no combat ability whatsoever.
Could you understand just how useless that was?
For comparison, Uchiha Minenki, who specialized in staff fighting, had a pet monkey that Uchiha Gen had trained for only six months.
