Red Trait?!

Hearing this, Kakashi lifted his eyelids.

He said indifferently to Uchiha Yuzhen:

"I didn't really consider it; you are the first person who agreed to continue missions with me after being teamed up with me."

Uchiha Yuzhen realized it then.

The Kakashi before him, because of his father's suicide, had been extremely unsociable before joining Team Minato.

He had been in a constant state of switching teammates.

Thinking of Team Minato, his mind drifted to the Affixes.

Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Obito.

The "gold" content of these two, must be absolutely exaggerated!

Namikaze Minato goes without saying; at this period, he could already be considered a complete entity.

Uchiha Obito was even more outrageous; he awakened his Sharingan with two tomoe right from the start!

This performance was even more exaggerated than that of the reincarnation of Indra... Sasuke!

Thinking of Team Minato, a flash of inspiration crossed Uchiha Yuzhen's mind.

If he remembered correctly, Kakashi graduated early.

He joined Team Minato, only after Obito and Rin graduated, leaving the team one member short.

It wasn't until Kakashi filled the spot that it became a normal squad.

Wasn't Uchiha Fugaku going to say, that he would give him some kind of gift?

When that time comes, he would bring it up and see if he could help.

Having decided, Uchiha Yuzhen said his farewells to Kakashi:

"Well then... Kakashi, call me when there's a mission. I have things to attend to in the clan, so I'll be taking my leave."

"No problem." Kakashi responded to Yuzhen with a calm expression.

Immediately after, with a "swish" sound, he used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished from the spot.

Yuzhen likely did not know yet.

When he and Kakashi met here, inside the Hokage Building, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was watching them through the Telescope Technique.

The "Ninja Hero," still in his prime, pondered for a moment.

He wrote out two scrolls on his desk.

He waved his hand to summon the Anbu waiting nearby.

He handed over the scrolls:

"Deliver one of these scrolls to Jonin Minato, and the other to the Jonin Squad."

"Yes!" The Anbu, kneeling on one knee, solemnly took the scrolls, flashed, and left the Hokage Office.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up his pipe and paced to the window.

"Hoo~" After exhaling a puff of smoke, he muttered to himself with a heavy expression:

"Finally, there is someone who can accept Kakashi's team..."

He was still very concerned about Kakashi.

He did not want this Genius who had broken a series of records to continue sinking like this.

As it happened, Minato had just become a squad leader, and his team only had two members.

A mediocre Uchiha, and a cute medical Genin; the three-man squad was still missing one.

He had intended to shove Kakashi in there if he wanted to change teammates again after this mission.

To think he would actually look at this Uchiha in a different light.

Then let them both join Team Minato!

Since he was already taking on one Uchiha, one more wouldn't make a difference.

Besides, Minato's strength was something the village could not afford to lose at this stage.

He could not lead a team of Genin forever.

Kakashi had become a Chunin at six, and four years had passed; he was now ten.

His strength and experience were both quite abundant.

He was more than capable of serving as a squad leader when Minato was not with the team.

As for two Uchihas becoming his grand-students?

Would there be any issues?

As a Ninja Hero, he certainly wouldn't lack the capacity for that!

In any case, no matter how he looked at these two Uchiha youths, they had both been quite mediocre throughout their time at the Ninja Academy.

They would never become a major threat!

The next day, around noon.

Uchiha Yuzhen walked with a cheerful gait toward Uchiha Fugaku's residence.

He was looking forward to the gift.

If he guessed correctly, it should be a secret Ninjutsu granted to him after choosing his side.

For an orphan like him, this was exactly what he needed.

Judging from the memories before his Past Life Wisdom awakened, his deceased parents had been "Nintaijutsu" type ninjas.

The Uchiha Style Nintaijutsu was quite unique.

It was not like the crude chakra mode of Kumogakure.

It was a school that integrated Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, and Fire Style nature transformation into one.

Uchiha Shisui, who was still a three-year-old child, was already proficient in this path.

Therefore, he was currently lacking Fire Style Ninjutsu above B-rank.

As for his thoughts on Team Minato, he could only say that it would be best if Fugaku could help, even if it was a hindrance.

If he couldn't help, he would just have to find a way to win over Kakashi, preferably by forming what they called a "bond"!

Before long.

With a head full of thoughts, Uchiha Yuzhen arrived at Fugaku's residence.

A situation beyond his expectations unfolded.

At the entrance of the mansion, seven or eight Uchihas had gathered.

There were old and young among them, including Fugaku.

There was also a "goggle-wearing" kid who looked somewhat familiar.

Goggles... could it be Obito?

What was going on?

Before he could figure it out, Uchiha Fugaku spotted Yuzhen's arrival.

He raised an eyebrow, and his usually stern face was now beaming with a smile.

"Yuzhen-kun, you've arrived..." After greeting Yuzhen, he pulled the "goggle-wearing" youth over.

With a beaming smile, he continued:

"This is Uchiha Obito. You two should get along well in the future."

"Clan Leader Fugaku? What is this..." Yuzhen was a bit confused.

Why was he suddenly so enthusiastic, and...

Obito-bro? Why did he want him to get along with him?

"Yuzhen-kun, let's discuss this in detail inside." Fugaku grabbed Yuzhen with one hand and Obito with the other, preparing to lead them into his home.

At this moment.

Those few—

Uchiha clansmen stood at the entrance of Uchiha Fugaku's residence.

One of the elders with spiky hair lowered his eyelids.

He said in a deep voice:

"Fugaku-kun... are you truly going to go through with this?"

He gestured toward Uchiha Yuzhen and Obito, who had already manifested his swirling eyes and looked completely bewildered:

"Everyone knows what level of ninja these two are... do you really expect them to fulfill our long-cherished wish?"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku's expression darkened as well.

He turned his head toward the elder.

He said, word for word:

"That was the village's arrangement; it is not something we can interfere with at will."

"Besides... I do not believe Yuzhen-kun is lacking in any way."

"Lord Fugaku, what exactly is going on?" Uchiha Yuzhen asked Fugaku hurriedly upon hearing this.

He had to ask; the way things were shaping up... could it be...

Seeing Yuzhen's inquiry, Uchiha Fugaku sighed with emotion and explained the matter concerning him.

"What? I've been arranged by the village to be Obito's teammate?!"

Something beyond Yuzhen's expectations had occurred.

He hadn't even spoken to Fugaku about this yet, so how had he automatically become Minato's student?

"So, do you understand now? Kid, you should have given up that spot."

"The village was only able to agree to two Uchihas becoming disciples of the Hokage's lineage."

"What such an opportunity represents is something you bottom-tier Uchihas... do not need to know."

"You lot only need to obey orders."

Uchiha Setsuna, seeing that both Yuzhen and Obito had heard Fugaku's explanation, immediately began to spout these words incessantly.

"You guy, who are you looking down on?" Obito's mind might not have been the fastest, but he knew very well who was on his side.

Seeing the ill intent from the other side, he impulsively rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.

"How bold!" A brown-haired youth beside Uchiha Setsuna.

Seeing this scene, let out a sharp shout and lunged forward, moving at a speed Obito couldn't react to.

He raised his hand to strike him in the face!

Slap—

The sound of a fist meeting a palm rang out as Yuzhen opened his crimson Sharingan.

He had blocked the brown-haired youth's attack on Obito.

"Hoo~" Yuzhen exhaled a breath of stale air and said coldly: "What a rude person! You should know that this is the doorstep of Lord Fugaku!"

Following that, he pressed a hand onto Obito's shoulder, shielding him behind his back.

In that instant, a 'Red' light, visible only to him, lit up on Obito's body!

"A Red Trait?!"
