The Uchiha Clan's Double Pupil Monster—A Genius?

Early 48th Year of Konoha!

Uchiha Clan Grounds.

Ancestral Hall.

By now, quite a few people had gathered in the Ancestral Hall. They seemed to be arguing and discussing something.

It was intense!

"Double pupils?"

"He's a monster of the Uchiha Clan. He can't be allowed to stay!"

"That's right, he's a disgrace to the Uchiha Clan!"

"Kill him!"

The discussion continued without end, but there was only one meaning behind their words: the Uchiha Clan had produced a monster, and he could not be allowed to remain!

They had even already made their decision!

"Enough! It's not up to old fogies like you to decide whether my child lives or dies!" At that moment, a fat man suddenly rose to his feet and roared, cutting off everyone in the Ancestral Hall.

"Uchiha Hanjō, do you know what you're saying?" One of the Clan Elders looked at the fat man who had shouted. "Your son is a monster. Each of his eyes has double pupils. He no longer belongs among us noble Uchiha clansmen!"

"That's right." Another Clan Elder beside him said calmly, "If you hadn't insisted on marrying a woman from the Senju family, this never would have happened!"

"That child of yours is a monster, a stain upon the Uchiha Clan's bloodline!"

The Clan Elders were rather speechless, but seeing Uchiha Hanjō's furious expression, they still wanted to explain themselves!

After all!

Uchiha Hanjō was the richest merchant in the Uchiha Clan. During the war, he had supplied the Uchiha Clan with provisions free of charge and subsidized the clan!

Even now that the war was over, the Uchiha Clan could not support the entire clan on the Military Police Force's meager income alone. They still had to rely on Uchiha Hanjō!

"Hmph, I don't care what you think. Little Xuanyu is my son, so don't entertain any ideas you shouldn't!" Uchiha Hanjō swept his gaze over the crowd, glaring furiously!

The moment he said this, the people in the hall looked strange!

Some of them even turned their gazes toward a middle-aged man seated in the seat of honor. He was also the Uchiha Clan Head, Uchiha Fugaku!

As the Uchiha Clan Head, he frowned. "Hanjō, even the Uchiha Clan's signature eyes are incomplete in your son. This is clearly an Ominous Sign!"

Behind Clan Head Fugaku stood a five- or six-year-old child. His pupils flickered constantly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He was the Clan Head's first son, Uchiha Itachi!

"Get lost! Fugaku, are you asking me to kill my own son?" Uchiha Hanjō glared at Fugaku, but a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the child behind him. "What would you do if someone told you to kill Itachi?"

"Hanjō." Fugaku's expression changed. He was somewhat helpless and did not know how to answer!

That was right!

No matter what, that monster was Hanjō's child. If someone asked him to kill his own Itachi, then he—

"Uchiha Hanjō, how dare you! Itachi is a genius of the Uchiha Clan. How can he be compared to that monster of yours?" One of the Clan Elders spoke with disdain!

How could Uchiha Hanjō's double-pupil monster compare to a genius like Itachi? He had already awakened his eyes at such a young age.

He was the future of the Uchiha Clan!

"Hmph, Xuanyu is my child. If any of you dare lay a hand on him, don't blame me for being rude!" Uchiha Hanjō snorted coldly. Leaving those words behind, he rose and departed!

He left only the furious Clan Elders behind in the Ancestral Hall.

"I think that Uchiha Hanjō fellow is being far too unreasonable. He actually wants to raise a monster!" An Uchiha Clan Elder looked at Uchiha Hanjō's departing back, his tone filled with contempt.

"Besides... the Uchiha Clan will never accept this monster!"

"Even if Uchiha Hanjō insists on raising that monster, the Uchiha Clan can never accept him!"

"That's right!"

Several Clan Elders echoed in agreement!

"A few days ago, in order for his son to receive training, Uchiha Hanjō paid to build a Training Ground for the Uchiha Clan. He even specifically contacted three clansmen who were jonin to serve as instructors and teach the Uchiha Clan's younger generation!" Amid the chaotic discussion, an ill-timed voice rang out. "Are none of our clan's juniors supposed to go to that Training Ground, then?"

Uh.

The moment those words were spoken, the Clan Elders fell silent.

A large Training Ground was where the Uchiha Clan trained its younger generation. They were unwilling to give up such a fine place just like that.

"Hmph, that monster child of his still wants to train? What a joke!"

"What a joke indeed!"

"What's the harm in letting that monster train alongside everyone else at the Training Ground? Besides, will he even live that long?"

"..."

Edge of the Uchiha Clan Grounds!

This was a luxurious estate. Uchiha Hanjō was Konoha's largest merchant, as well as its wealthiest man.

However,

Because the Uchiha Clan revered strength, merchants like him were naturally neglected and ostracized by the Uchiha Clan. That was why his family could only live on the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan Grounds.

Upon entering the house, he saw a beautiful but somewhat haggard woman lying on the bed, holding a newborn child in her arms.

The child had a rosy complexion. Lying quietly in his swaddling clothes without crying or fussing, his curious eyes examined the room and Uchiha Hanjō, who had just entered.

But what made people frown was that each of the child's eyes had two pupils—Double Pupils!

So this is my bargain-bin dad? He's kind of fat!!

What a pity... it's such a waste for my beautiful mom to be with him. But just now, it sounded like Dad went to attend the Uchiha Clan Meeting?

Wait... Uchiha?

Xuanyu's mind suddenly began turning, and he abruptly realized something extremely important.

Was this the Naruto World?

No way, right? He had merely stayed up late to finish Naruto's ending, fallen asleep, and somehow transmigrated into the Naruto World?

And on top of that,

He had been born into the Uchiha Clan?

Also... what year of Konoha was it now? How long until the Night of the Massacre?

Just as Xuanyu was lost in thought, the beautiful woman on the bed spoke. She gently stroked Xuanyu's swaddling clothes. "How did it go? Those stubborn old men of the Uchiha Clan didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

She was not from the Uchiha Clan. Usually, when the Uchiha Clan Elders looked down on merchants like them, she did not get angry and merely laughed it off!

But this time!

They had actually set their sights on her son. Then they could not blame her for being rude.

"I'm Uchiha Hanjō. Would those old geezers dare make things difficult for me?" Uchiha Hanjō snorted coldly, clearly displeased that those old men had called his son a monster!

But when he saw Xuanyu's chubby little face, his expression softened again, and he affectionately wanted to kiss him.

Yet Xuanyu kicked him away with a tiny foot and burrowed further into his mother's arms!

"Haha... Look how strong my son's little feet are!" The more Uchiha Hanjō looked at Xuanyu, the more he liked him. "Those old geezers actually said my son is a monster. Why do I feel like my son is a genius?"

"The Uchiha Clan rose to greatness because of a pair of special eyes, while my son has two pairs of eyes!"

"Haha."
