The Past of Awakening the Sharingan

"Mom! I'm home!"

Xuanhui sat at the entryway changing his shoes and called loudly into the house.

Nara Yamanaka emerged from the kitchen in an apron, spatula in hand.

She was an ordinary-looking woman, but her figure and temperament were both rather outstanding.

Yet there were no wrinkles of age on her face, only a faint, flowing happiness.

"Where's my husband? Why didn't he come back with you?"

[This couple is way too lovey-dovey...]

The corner of Xuanhui's mouth twitched involuntarily.

His parents were far too affectionate. Even he, an eight-year-old child, found it helpless...

"Lord Hokage called Dad away. He said there was an assigned mission."

"Wow! My husband is so amazing! Xuanhui, play by yourself for a while. I'll go make another dish!"

A blush rose to Nara Yamanaka's face as she scampered back into the kitchen.

A few seconds later, the thud-thud-thud of chopping vegetables came from inside.

Xuanhui was already used to it. He neatly put away his shoes, walked into the bathroom, and began filling the tub.

"Only when I loved her deeply did I have her~

Whether I could bear it or not, I had to let it go~

That was a cliff with no way back~~~

..."

Xuanhui wiped the water droplets from his hair and stared at his handsome face in the mirror.

"Hmm... the outline of my handsome face is already taking shape!"

But he still felt that something was missing...

A scarlet glow flickered through his eyes.

"Sure enough, the Sharingan is what really makes me look cool!"

Still, the process of awakening his Sharingan... was truly too embarrassing to speak of.

It had been a night of torrential rain...

Put simply, during training, he had suddenly gotten it into his head to try rooftop parkour.

Unfortunately, when he happened to run across the roof of a public bathhouse, there was a thunderous crack, and he smashed through the wooden roof.

His entire body fell through. Fortunately, his physical strength was quite formidable, and something had cushioned his fall.

So he was not seriously hurt.

But then... when he opened his eyes again, a Yin–Yang Release Black Rod and two Truth-Seeking Balls appeared before him.

"Yo, little brother!"

By the time he realized what the things before him were, it was already too late. He turned his head in terror and saw a middle-aged man with a full beard smiling bashfully at him.

"Fuck!"

Xuanhui was so frightened that he blurted out a curse from his hometown. He kicked off the ground and swiftly retreated from the man.

"I'm sorry, sir! I was only training! I never thought I'd stomp through the roof!"

He hurriedly waved his hands in apology, wanting only to earn forgiveness and escape this... place of trouble.

"Don't be shy, little brother..."

The somewhat chubby man slowly climbed to his feet.

"I know... you've actually been peeping on me all along, haven't you?"

[Why the hell couldn't I have fallen into the women's bathhouse?!]

Xuanhui's face had already turned extremely ugly, but out of politeness, he still forced down his discomfort and stiffly apologized.

"It's fine, little brother. If you want to look... then go ahead and look!"

The man spread his legs, straightened them, and fell flat backward.

This time... everything that should not have been seen was exposed in full view before Xuanhui...

"Fuck you! My eyes!"

Xuanhui instantly felt as if his eyes had been stabbed ten thousand times!

If he had not lived eighteen years in his previous life, his current eight-year-old self might have fainted from fright on the spot!

Xuanhui dropped to his knees in agony. A tangled mess of nausea, fury, and even shame constantly surged through his entire body.

"Does little brother not like someone taking the initiative?"

Seeing Xuanhui kneeling on the ground with his eyes covered, the middle-aged man revealed a smug smile. He got to his feet and waddled over with his toes pointing outward.

Hearing the movement, Xuanhui's scarlet Sharingan flew open, and he glared viciously at the man.

To his dismay, once his eyes awakened, his dynamic vision skyrocketed!

That thing was right before him, clear as day, swaying back and forth as it drew closer!

"Don't come any closer!"

How could Xuanhui dare stay any longer? He bolted out of the bathhouse in a flash.

"Don't run, little brother! If you're this shy, you'll never find true love!"

"Get lost! You disgusting pervert! Somebody save me!"

There were barely any people on the streets in that rainy weather, but luckily, Xuanhui had sharp eyes and spotted two members of the Uchiha Police Force at the corner ahead.

"Help! Big brothers, save me!"

The two Uchiha officers heard his cry for help and immediately activated their Sharingan to look over...

A scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives struck deeply at their hearts!

"Hello. Please come with us."

The two Uchiha officers immediately apprehended the naked man on the spot.

They escorted him straight back to the Police Force.

By the time Xuanhui returned home in a daze, he was still shaken by the ordeal.

Uchiha Uzumaki noticed Xuanhui's pupils and hurriedly asked what had happened.

After Xuanhui finished explaining, the couple both fell silent.

A moment later, they exchanged a glance and silently returned to their bedroom.

Xuanhui did not remember anything else. He only remembered that after he came out of his own bathroom, waves of laughter were still echoing from his parents' bedroom...

"..."

After hearing it, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned black as the bottom of a pot. Smoke slowly drifted from his mouth, and he had practically forgotten how to breathe.

"That really is... heartbreaking."

He remembered his teacher, Tobirama Senju, once saying that when the Uchiha Clan's emotions were stimulated, their eyes would awaken...

So encountering something like this... could stimulate their brains enough to awaken their eyes too?

Hiruzen Sarutobi could not quite figure it out, but it was still good news. At least Xuanhui was not the sort with a world-weary mindset. He was still a pure-hearted child.

His life experience was just a little too rich, that was all...

Thinking this, Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Uchiha Uzumaki, whose face had turned red from holding back laughter, and the muscles on his own face twitched a few times.

"Perhaps..."

[Kagami... are all the people in your clan this strange now?]

"Uzumaki, you should pay closer attention to the child's mental health!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi left behind that earnest advice before turning and departing.

However, Uchiha Uzumaki remained where he was, lost in thought.

[Pay attention to Xuanhui's mental health? That child is actually quite mature...]

[I should just treat him the same as before!]

"I'm home!"

Uchiha Uzumaki walked to the entryway, casually tossed down his shoes, and headed straight into the kitchen.

"Welcome home, honey!"

Nara Yamanaka hurriedly set down her spatula, turned around, and embraced Uchiha Uzumaki.

"Where's Xuanhui?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's taking a bath?"

"Never mind that. Kiss me first!"

Their lips pressed together passionately before separating.

"Go call Xuanhui out for dinner. The food will be ready soon!"

"Yes, dear!"

Uchiha Uzumaki lightly kissed Nara Yamanaka on the forehead.

Then he began looking for Xuanhui around the house.
