The Uchiha Clan Has Completely Degenerated!

"Setsuna, want to train together tomorrow?"

Knowing that Uchiha Setsuna would walk fast after class, worried he couldn't catch up, Uchiha Sasuke found Uchiha Setsuna before the last class ended.

Uchiha Setsuna shook his head.

"Sorry, I have something to do tomorrow."

"What about the day after?"

"I have something to do then too."

Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a moment, then said, "Setsuna, do you have a problem with my father? Do you think he hasn't done well as the Uchiha Clan Head?"

"My father really hasn't done well."

"The decline of the Uchiha Clan—my father as Clan Head bears an undeniable responsibility."

"But don't worry, once our generation grows up, things will get better."

"My brother and I, Uchiha Itachi, will definitely make the Uchiha Clan better."

Uchiha Setsuna: "???"

He did have a problem with Fugaku Uchiha.

Whether it was the real world's Fugaku Uchiha with his weak attitude.

Facing Uchiha Itachi's clan-annihilating actions, he put up no resistance at all. Dying himself was one thing, but he watched countless innocent clansmen be killed by Uchiha Itachi.

In the Life Simulator, Fugaku Uchiha also made Uchiha Setsuna deeply dissatisfied.

After Uchiha Setsuna proposed Konoha's plan to wipe out the clan, Fugaku Uchiha directly locked him in the dungeon.

But Uchiha Setsuna was even more dissatisfied with Uchiha Itachi.

Toward Fugaku Uchiha, Uchiha Setsuna simply didn't want to save him in the real world's future.

He even hoped Fugaku Uchiha would die at Uchiha Itachi's hands.

Fugaku Uchiha didn't deserve to be the Uchiha Clan Head.

But toward Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Setsuna hated him to the extreme.

He had long harbored murderous intent toward Uchiha Itachi.

Facing Uchiha Sasuke's attitude, Uchiha Setsuna was silent for a moment.

Then he made a decision in his heart.

"Uchiha Sasuke, I don't want to be friends with you, nor do I want too much contact with you. You're the son of the Uchiha Clan Head, and I'm just an ordinary Uchiha member."

"Your talent is high."

"My talent is ordinary."

"Standing with you makes me very uncomfortable."

"Are you doing this to use my mediocrity to highlight your genius?"

Uchiha Sasuke's expression changed.

"I didn't mean that, absolutely not..."

"I'm sorry..."

Uchiha Sasuke left.

Uchiha Setsuna watched Uchiha Sasuke's back, fully understanding his psychology. Uchiha Sasuke had no clue about the terrible relationship between the Uchiha and Konoha.

He thought the Uchiha Clan's decline was only because no powerful ninjas had emerged from it.

As long as excellent ninjas appeared in the Uchiha Clan, their status would return to its peak.

The lives of all Uchiha Clan members would improve.

And as the son of the Uchiha Clan Head and a genius, Uchiha Sasuke really wanted to help this ordinary-performing Uchiha member, Setsuna, to change the Uchiha, starting from those around him.

This was very naive student thinking.

Believing the world was either black or white, that if you put in effort, you'd definitely get results.

But the real world wasn't like that at all.

The Uchiha had no path to rise.

Not even a path to survival.

The stronger the Uchiha performed, the faster death came.

The only hope was Uchiha Setsuna.

Again, Uchiha Sasuke meant well, but to Uchiha Setsuna, it was trouble.

That was why Uchiha Setsuna said such harsh, unpleasant words—to completely drive this trouble, Uchiha Sasuke, away from him, ensuring the real-world version of himself wouldn't be noticed.

"Big brother."

After returning home, Uchiha Sasuke saw Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were a little red.

Uchiha Itachi immediately asked with concern.

"Sasuke, what's wrong?"

"Why is it that when I mean well, I don't get recognized?"

"What happened?"

"There's another Uchiha in my class, mediocre in talent. I wanted to help him—after all, we're both Uchiha—but he thought I had bad intentions, that I was using his ordinariness to highlight my own genius."

Uchiha Sasuke felt very wronged, very upset.

Given that Uchiha Sasuke's personality was naturally proud, the blow hit him even harder.

"Uchiha Setsuna?"

Uchiha Itachi knew who the other Uchiha in Sasuke's class was.

He had seen Sasuke interact with Uchiha Setsuna before.

He had also heard some rumors.

Uchiha Setsuna had already caught Uchiha Itachi's attention.

Uchiha Sasuke nodded.

"Sasuke, you didn't do anything wrong. He's the one at fault."

Uchiha Itachi said, "Uchiha Setsuna is just jealous of you. Someone like that doesn't deserve your help. Since he doesn't want it, you don't need to care about him."

"Just focus on your own matters. You're the best."

Uchiha Sasuke looked up at Uchiha Itachi.

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Then I understand." Uchiha Sasuke said. "Starting today, I'll work even harder. I'll prove to them that I never meant anything like that—they're the ones who misunderstood me."

"Brother, from now on, let's work together to make the Uchiha better."

Uchiha Itachi smiled.

"Alright."

Uchiha Itachi also wanted to make the Uchiha better, but he had his own way of doing it.

An Uchiha who didn't cause trouble for Konoha was the best kind of Uchiha.

He watched Sasuke enter his room. After a long while, he finally looked away, turning his gaze outside.

He had already been keeping an eye on Uchiha Setsuna, but now, that was over.

After hearing what Sasuke said, Uchiha Itachi felt that Uchiha Setsuna was no different from any other Uchiha.

"Most Uchiha are like this."

"Psychologically extreme, selfish, self-serving."

"It's only natural that the Uchiha are in decline."

"A ninja clan like this can't be changed by one or two people."

"The entire clan is already completely sick."

Uchiha Setsuna returned home.

"Grandfather, I'm back."

"Good."

Uchiha Kayan smiled and said, "We're going to Little Sagiri's house today. Aunt Riko invited us over for dinner. Here's the gift—Setsuna, you carry it."

"Alright."

Uchiha Sagiri was already waiting at her own courtyard gate.

"Brother Setsuna."

"Grandfather."

Uchiha Sagiri slipped her small hand into Uchiha Setsuna's palm.

"Tomorrow's a day off, Brother Setsuna. Do you have time to play with me?"

Uchiha Sagiri looked at Uchiha Setsuna expectantly.
