Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

"Yes, I remember that the other kids all had very good grades, and they were basically in the top ten of their grade."

Fugaku continued discussing the topic of results.

He heard his father say that if Haneda could defeat Kakashi, a genius among geniuses, then Haneda's achievements must be extraordinary.

Starting a conversation with someone's strengths can greatly help to build rapport.

The word "defying the heavens" is quite accurate, after all, it is indeed quite extraordinary for an Uchiha to be second to last in the class.

cough cough...

At this moment, the clan chief coughed a few times and came in carrying a plate.

A teapot and teacups are placed on the plate.

The clan chief's movements as he brewed and poured tea were fluid and possessed a classical beauty.

This made Haneda realize that the clan head was someone who really enjoyed the tea ceremony.

"Fugaku, Haneda's results... well, they might not be ideal," the clan chief reminded him.

"No, clan leader, second to last is actually quite ideal, right next to Obito." Haneda said without any concern.

Obito? ? ?

Could it be that disgrace of the Uchiha clan? That guy was the worst student in his class, but he was still incredibly talented even in the entire grade.

Which Uchiha clan member has such poor grades?

Well, okay, there's one right in front of us.

The reason Fugaku knew Obito but not Haneda was mainly because Obito was too lively, often helped the old ladies in the village, had a good reputation, and was relatively well-known.

As for Haneda, with Obito on the pillar of shame to bear the brunt of the shame, the pressure was greatly reduced. In addition, he was relatively quiet and had a small social circle, so he became a nobody.

Chapter 013 Uchiha Fugaku

"Controlling your score, Haneda? With your strength surpassing Kakashi Hatake, you should have no problem becoming the top student in your grade, right?" the clan leader laughed.

"Pretty much, but my theoretical grades aren't very good, so it'll be hard for me to surpass Kakashi. I reckon he's almost finished learning all the knowledge from the Ninja Academy," Haneda said.

"Haha...then you'll have to keep up the good work." The clan chief patted Yu Tian on the shoulder and smiled kindly.

Build relationships first, then get things done.

Once the relationship is closer, it's time to talk about serious matters.

However, the clan chief first glared at his son Fugaku before getting down to business.

"Haneda, I heard you've awakened your Sharingan, is that right?" The clan leader took a sip of tea and said softly.

"Yes." Haneda nodded in acknowledgment; there was no point in hiding it.

After all, when he revealed his Sharingan, he had already decided to rely on the Uchiha clan, which was still a fairly powerful force at the moment.

"Uncle Clan Chief, I don't know when I awakened it, but I just felt that I couldn't lose to Kakashi, so the Sharingan came out."

"However, I felt very sad at the time, seemingly from my parents."

This line of explanation was naturally prepared in advance.

The Sharingan has awakened, but not fully; it needs some stimulation.

This was demonstrated in the case of Erzhuzi and Wuwukai.

One was the one whose clan was wiped out, and then he angrily awakened the single-tomoe Sharingan.

One is that Obito's kaleidoscope was too powerful, and he hid it for more than ten years until a young man in a red cloud cloak broke his martial ethics and killed a certain copy ninja for the time it takes to read a month's reading, at which point it began to awaken.

Of course, the former is because he only cares about his parents and his family, while the latter is because of a transplant from a foreign race, resulting in severe blood rejection.

In general, Haneda believed that the clan must have some record of this.

As expected, the clan chief, without suspecting anything, smiled and explained:

"Hmm. You should have awakened around the age of four. At that time, your chakra was insufficient and the conditions for full awakening were not met. Later, you were stimulated and it was naturally activated."

The clan chief was very considerate and did not mention the death of Haneda's parents at all.

This gave Yuda an initial sense of goodwill towards him. Of course, his previous conversation had also allowed him to probe the clan leader's attitude towards him.

The clan chief likely wanted to create a bond between Fugaku and him, a bond similar to that of brothers.

This can be seen from how Haneda gradually addressed the clan leader as "Uncle Clan Leader".

"I remember you said something when you were about to lose: 'I can't lose because I bear the name of the Uchiha,' right?"

The clan chief said happily.

"Yes." Haneda nodded emphatically, looking quite proud.

Of course, the real situation is...

He just wants to show off.

"Haneda, you have done a great job spreading the honor of the Uchiha clan at the school. As the clan head, I am very pleased."

"Fugaku heard about this and asked me to give you some insignificant reward."

"After thinking it over carefully, I realized that geniuses should be treated like geniuses, so I agreed."

As the clan chief spoke, his smile was genuine, making him seem like a very honest person.

However, Haneda knew from hearing the name Fugaku that the clan head was paving the way for his son.

"Really, Fugaku-nii?" Haneda turned to look at Fugaku and said happily.

"Of course." Fugaku felt a little guilty, but when he caught a glimpse of his father's sharp gaze, he quickly regained his composure.

"What do you want, Haneda?" Fugaku added.

"Forehead……"

Haneda pretended to be deep in thought, and Fugaku and the clan head did not disturb him.

There was a half-minute silence in the room, until Haneda spoke:

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Kakashi tricked me with his Shadow Clone Technique back then, I can't make the same mistake twice!!"

"A B-rank ninjutsu?" The clan leader feigned hesitation, but his eyes kept darting around, constantly sending glances at his son.

"Father, please grant Haneda's request!"

"Haneda is right, the Uchiha must never fall in the same place twice!"

Fugaku said with some excitement that even without the clan leader's hint, he wanted to plead for Haneda.

The clan chief glanced at his son, then at Yutian, and finally sighed and agreed.

"Alright, Haneda, the Shadow Clone Technique is a B-rank ninjutsu. Although it is precious, geniuses should be treated like geniuses in their clans."

"Thank you, Brother Fugaku!" Haneda thanked Fugaku immediately.

Of course, after a moment, he seemed to notice the clan chief's displeased gaze, and turned to the clan chief again, saying:

"Thank you too, clan chief."

After Haneda thanked them, the three people in the room all smiled.

Haneda received an extra reward; he had originally hoped that his clan would help him withstand the pressure from the Konoha leadership.

However, the clan leader gave him a ninjutsu, and it was the Shadow Clone Technique that he had been longing for!

The Shadow Clone Technique is not just for superficial reconnaissance and deceiving others.

The most overpowered and cheat-like feature is experience sharing.

In other words, the clones have the same talent and the same cultivation speed, and when they dissipate, their experience will return to the original body.

what does this mean?

This means you can get double, triple, or even dozens of times more experience!

Think of Larudo, that self-proclaimed not-so-bright Ashura reincarnation, who had hundreds of shadow clones training simultaneously...

This isn't a cheat code?!

Of course, Haneda didn't expect his brain to be as powerful as Naruto's, capable of processing so many memories at once.

However, as a time traveler, his mental strength is inevitably much higher than that of ordinary people, and he can withstand greater mental pressure.

Moreover, he also has the Sharingan.

This means that it wouldn't be a problem for Haneda to use another cheat code.

As for the other two, they are Fugaku and the clan head.

As for Fugaku, he was genuinely happy to receive Haneda's thanks, since he had helped someone and received a spiritual reward in return.

The clan leader was simply pleased that his son had recruited a genius young man!

The father, who paved the way for his son, was moved to tears...

The three chatted for a long time, until the sun set.
