Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Xia Zuo is annoyed.

He encountered a major problem that dragged on for two years without being resolved.

With the arrival of early summer in Konoha 55, a major problem is about to escalate into a major crisis.

Xia Zuo sighed repeatedly in anxiety, "Oh, I'm so worried!"

Hearing Xia Zuo's words, the girl with big eyes and long, silky black hair rolled her eyes cutely and complained in a sweet voice, "Why do I feel like you're not in a hurry at all, brother?"

Xia Zuo couldn't accept his sister's slander: "Quan, I'm really worried. Look, I have blisters on my lips."

The girl, Quan, pouted and said, "That's because you scalded your mouth with hot rice cakes, brother, by eating them one after another."

Xia Zuo said "Oh," picked up another piece of roasted rice cake, took a bite, and swallowed it in a few bites.

After finishing the hot, fragrant, and sticky rice cakes, he finally spoke, "Quan, no matter how anxious you are, you have to eat first. You can't do anything on an empty stomach."

The girl sighed helplessly, "Ugh, really, why are Mom and Dad so stubborn?"

Xia Zuo shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. The Uchiha are so powerful, so influential, and so rich. They are very generous to their clansmen who have awakened the Sharingan."

"Izumi, you've reaped quite a few benefits these past two years, haven't you?"

The girl nodded and said, "Yes, instruction from a Jonin, excellent ninja tools and weapons, ninjutsu scrolls, and money, lots and lots of money."

"Hehe, I even graduated early and became a genin before my brother."

Xia Zuo smiled indulgently: "It is precisely because of the Uchiha clan's generosity that Aunt Miko and Uncle Heishiro believe that you have a brighter future in the Uchiha clan."

"The Uchiha clan is too powerful; there seems to be no way they can be wiped out."

"They are unwilling to move back to live here because of your future prospects."

Quan said with a troubled expression, "I know, I realized it after you reminded me, brother."

"Actually, neither my father nor my mother liked the Uchiha clan."

"It's too remote there, too far from the center of Konoha Village. Dad can't continue his old job and just sits at home all day."

"My mother also secretly complained that the Uchiha ninjas looked down on her, and the Uchiha civilians avoided her. It's been two years and she still doesn't know any new neighbors."

The girl sighed, "My parents are living there reluctantly because of me."

Xia Zuo ate another piece of rice cake, then sighed, "They insisted on staying because of you, and you can't come back because of them. You're stuck on both sides."

Helplessness, depression, and worry filled the girl's heart, causing her to feel down.

Stimulated by this emotion, a sinister chakra was generated in the girl's mind and continuously poured into her eyes.

His dark, bright pupils suddenly turned the color of blood, and then two black tomoe appeared, which were none other than the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Xia Zuo suddenly reached out and placed his hand on the girl Quan's forehead, carefully channeling his chakra into her to suppress the girl's emotional changes and prevent her thoughts from developing into impulsive ones.

Xia Zuo sighed and asked, "When did you awaken the two-tomoe jade?"

The girl, Izumi, also known as Uchiha Izumi, carefully looked at Xia Zuo to make sure he wasn't angry before patting her chest and letting out a sigh of relief.

She replied, "During the last mission, Teacher Tiehu led us to break through the bandits' stronghold, and he required us all to kill people."

"At the time, I just felt scared, disgusted, and wanted to vomit, but I didn't expect to awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan after I came back."

"Brother, is there something wrong with my eyes?"

Xia Zuo shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with your eyes, but it's a bit too early for you to awaken your Sharingan at 11. And to awaken your Sharingan again with two tomoe at just 13 is really too early."

Uchiha Izumi asked curiously, "But the clansmen all say that the Sharingan is best awakened as early as possible..."

Xia Zuo sneered: "Heh, what a foolish and short-sighted idea."

"The Sharingan is such a powerful bloodline limit, requiring a very high amount of chakra from the awakener and placing a tremendous burden on the body. How could it possibly be better to awaken it as early as possible?"

Madara Uchiha, the strongest ninja of the Uchiha clan in a century, was already 14 years old when he awakened his Sharingan, but this did not hinder his advancement all the way up to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Both Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha, who awakened their Sharingan before the age of 10, suffered from various ailments and were plagued by illnesses.

Itachi Uchiha went blind and died young in his early twenties, and Sasuke Uchiha fared no better. If it weren't for his father, the Six Paths, taking care of him, he might have died even younger than his brother.

Xia Zuo said, "With your small frame of 13 years old, you simply can't bear the burden of two tomoe Sharingan."

"Izumi, after awakening your two tomoe, do you find your body gets tired very easily, your eyes often feel dry, and it's more difficult to open them, and even harder to close them once you've opened them?"

Uchiha Izumi's head bobbed like a chick pecking at food: "Brother, you're absolutely right, I have all these symptoms."

Xia Zuo instructed, "Don't activate your Sharingan again recently."

"Go to the hospital later and use the excuse of dry eyes to get some medicine. Use the topical medicine for half a month to take care of it, and it will make you feel better."

Uchiha Izumi agreed, "Okay, brother, I'll go to the hospital in a bit."

Xia Zuo nodded, quite pleased with his sister's obedience.

He emphasized his words and solemnly warned, "Izumi, you must be careful. In the next few years, you must control your emotions and not let them get out of control, which could lead to the awakening of the three-tomoe Sharingan."

"Otherwise, you might develop a bloodline disease."

Uchiha Izumi said with a wry smile, "Brother, we need to resolve my parents' issues first, otherwise I won't be able to maintain emotional stability when the Uchiha calamity erupts."

Xia Zuo stroked his chin, feeling the downy hair brushing against his fingertips, and suddenly said, "Quan, what do you think of me faking illness?"

Uchiha Izumi blinked, looking at her half-brother with a puzzled expression.

Xia Zuo asked with a smile, "Aunt Miko and Uncle Heishiro heard I'm sick, will they move back to take care of me for a while?"

Uchiha Izumi's face was full of surprise, then she looked at Xia Zuo and her expression turned embarrassed. She took small steps to move to Xia Zuo's side.

With her hands behind her back, she silently pulled a small hammer from her ninja tool bag.

The girl's movements were very gentle, but Xia Zuo still noticed them.

He revealed his old man's face from the subway: "Quan, get the hammer out... What kind of mischief are you thinking of?"

Uchiha Izumi said shyly, "Brother, I think if you broke your leg, Mom would worry that you wouldn't be able to take care of yourself, and she would probably move back to take care of you."

Xia Zuo pinched the bridge of his nose and couldn't help but sigh.

When she was little, she was soft, fair, and tender, like an adorable little kitten, the girl next door.

When did she become a girl who is black inside?
