"I'd heard the title 'Poison Ninja' even from the rear lines."
This was what it meant to become famous young. Even during Uchiha He's time as clan head, no one had ever managed to suppress Uchiha Yū.
"Don't get too arrogant. The shinobi world is larger than you imagine. You already have your own plans, so I won't interfere lightly."
As clan head, Uchiha He had his own considerations. Yū had yet to reach his peak. If he truly grew to maturity, then with the deadly poison in his hands and the Uchiha bloodline, even if he could not rival Uchiha Madara, his future achievements would still place him among the foremost ranks of the shinobi world.
He might even ease the conflict between the Uchiha Clan and the village.
"These are some Fire Release ninjutsu I collected."
He summoned a ninjutsu scroll. Recorded upon it were Uchiha Clan Fire Release techniques. Aside from the basic Fire Release techniques circulating within the village, there were also more profound ones.
"Thank you, Clan Head."
Their conversation was more like an elder looking after a junior, but Uchiha Yū knew there was no such thing as a free meal. The other man valued his talent and expected him to repay the Uchiha Clan once he had grown stronger.
As they spoke, a ninja wearing a fox mask appeared at the doorway.
"ANBU?"
Uchiha Yū revealed his Sharingan and immediately noticed the other man's movements.
The ANBU ninja had not concealed himself. Showing off movement techniques before the Uchiha Clan would only seem childish and laughable.
"Uchiha Clan Head, this is Lord Hokage's mobilization order. The village's ninja are being summoned to the border of the Land of Lightning!"
Yū immediately understood the Hokage's intentions. It seemed he had believed the Kazekage's plan.
