Uchiha Gen left his Chakra on the three children to keep them from falling or getting hurt.
As they traveled, he watched the little carrot-tops trailing behind him in a line, clutching his clothes, and resolved to teach them as soon as possible how to adapt to a world without sight.
It took more than a month of travel to reach the Forest Cabin. Sometimes they rode in a carriage, and sometimes he carried them while flying. After rushing all the way, they finally arrived.
"Meigetsu—Kiyoshi! Come collect the delivery!"
Uchiha Gen shouted toward the Training Ground.
"Take them to wash up first. I'll go prepare some clothes for them."
At the Training Ground, Kuroto-Heiyan and Shibaki watched as the three newcomers were taken away, their faces full of curiosity.
"All three have black hair. Are they Lord Yuan's clansmen?"
"I heard the Uchiha Clan really does produce this kind of hairstyle, but why are all their eyes closed?"
"Maybe they're exhausted from the journey."
Uzumaki Shibaki thought for a while before coming up with a strange idea.
"Do you two think there's any chance these three are Lord Yuan's illegitimate children?"
"...Huh?"
At the Hokage's age, someone Uchiha Gen's age could indeed already be a father. If things had moved quickly, he might even have become a grandfather. After all, he was already twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Gen had already arrived in town. He was not worried that the three little ones would be bullied. After all, those who could become his friends and remain by his side were no ordinary people. He had no idea that everyone back home had already begun caring for the three children as though they were his own.
There was a saying: keep company with vermilion and you turn red; keep company
