Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 2 Possessions

The next morning, the rising sun pierced the dawn, waking the sleeping village. The gradually bustling streets seemed to showcase the daytime prosperity.

In the heart of the village, within the exclusive residence of the "Uchiha" clan, lies the home of the time-traveling Uchiha Toshiro...

Good morning, Auntie!

The early-rising toddler pushed open the bedroom door with one hand, rubbing his sleepy eyes with the other. He greeted the girl who was busy in the kitchen, and didn't forget to give a big yawn.

"Auntie? I've told you so many times to call her Onesan Sama."

She was very sensitive about being called "aunt" by someone so young and in the prime of her life. It gave her the feeling that she was already, or about to, get married and have children!

Moreover, as the youngest sister in the family, she had always hoped to have a younger brother or sister. That way, she could also experience what it's like to be a "big sister."

Ignoring his aunt's words, Toshiro went straight to the bathroom. He flushed, brushed his teeth, rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and then patted his cheeks in front of the mirror.

It seems I need to get to know this child in the mirror again—a child with dark eyes, a delicate face, a touch of baby fat, and the Uchiha clan's ancestral spiky hairstyle.

"Hmm! He'll probably be a handsome guy next."

After encouraging himself, he went to the dining table in the living room. At that moment, a girl with long, flowing hair, delicate features, and wearing a traditional Uchiha navy blue turtleneck coat was walking towards the table.

The younger sister of the mother in the body of "Uchiha Mika". She has been taking care of "Uchiha Toshiro" since the original owner's mother passed away a week ago.

Three days ago, the original owner fell into a coma due to prolonged lack of food and excessive grief, and felt extremely guilty after transmigrating.

In the past few days, he has even moved into the original owner's house and taken on the responsibility of taking care of the original owner.

This is actually a tradition of the Uchiha clan. Whenever a young child becomes an orphan, the clan will first arrange for someone from among the close blood relatives to take care of their daily life and teach them some basic knowledge. If there are no close blood relatives, they will be arranged to live with a widowed elder in the clan.

After the two sat down, looking at the steamed rice, miso soup, grilled fish, natto, and pickled vegetables on the table, they couldn't help but feel their mouths water and their appetites whetted.

"I'm starting!"

The two people, one big and one small, picked up their chopsticks and started eating almost at the same time.

As time went by, apart from the occasional clinking of chopsticks and plates, and the sounds of food being chewed and swallowed, there were almost no other sounds coming from the living room.

In the original owner's memories, his mother probably sensed that her days were numbered, so she taught him in advance some of the unique rules, etiquette, and literacy of a large family.

One should not speak while eating or sleeping. This can be considered the most basic requirement.

Fortunately, there was this prior instruction; otherwise, not only would I not have any cheat codes after a time travel, but I would also have to relearn the language and recognize characters, which would be a pain in the ass.

"I've finished eating. Sister Meixiang, I'm going to the study."

"Okay! I'll take care of these later."

Seeing that he had a good appetite and ate quite a lot today, the girl breathed a sigh of relief.

Crossing the living room to the master bedroom, you'll find the study. The furnishings are quite simple. Besides a large bookcase against the wall, there's only a relatively large square low table in the center of the room, and a futon, making the room feel spacious and bright.

Standing at the desk, I looked up at the scrolls on the bookshelf, along with old-fashioned thread-bound notebooks and a mix of new printed books.

The sense of bewilderment and unease I felt from suddenly arriving in a strange world gradually faded away.

He placed dozens of scrolls on a low table and browsed through them one by one. "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique." "Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Fire Technique." "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique." "Fire Release: Ash Concealment Technique." "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation." "Fire Release: Great Fire Extinction." "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique." "Uchiha Swordsmanship Explained." "Introduction to Genjutsu." "Chakra Manipulation"...

Turning the pages of red scrolls, I looked at the fire-style techniques recorded on them, and then there were the unopened scrolls of various colors, such as cyan and purple, on the table.

For the first time, Toshiro Uchiha truly felt the power of the Uchiha clan. Upon reflection, however, he also felt it was something that was perfectly natural and rightfully his.

The Uchiha clan originated from Indra, and their bloodline can be traced back to the Sage of Six Paths. They have been a ninja clan for nearly 1000 years. Chakra, a supernatural energy originating from the Otsutsuki clan, is imprinted in the bodies and genes of every Uchiha clan member.

Ninjutsu, as a symbol of a ninja's power, is the lifelong pursuit of every Uchiha who awakens their Sharingan. It's no wonder that so many scrolls of jutsu techniques have been passed down through generations.

Just like himself, his father was a ninja, his mother was a ninja, his grandparents, and his aunt were all ninjas.

Moreover, as far as he knew, the proportion of children in his family who could become ninjas was far higher than that of other families.

Every year, more than half of the eligible children in the clan are able to successfully extract chakra. This rate is quite astonishing. In clans like Sarutobi, Ino, Shika, and Cho, it's considered extremely fortunate if a quarter or even a fifth of the children are able to successfully extract chakra.

It's no wonder the Uchiha clan met such a tragic end. Without the Senju clan's support, there wasn't a single member of Konoha who could surpass the Uchiha in strength.

Whether it's the Sarutobi clan to which the Third Hokage belonged, the Hyuga clan which also shares the Otsutsuki bloodline, or the united Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Putting aside these wandering thoughts, he continued flipping through the scrolls at hand, and the remaining ones did not disappoint him.

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk." "Lightning Release: False Darkness." "Lightning Release: Overclocking Vibration Blade." There are also "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough." "Wind Release: Tornado Hurricane." "Wind Release: Vacuum Wave." "Wind Release: Vacuum Blade." "Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Technique." and about 30 other ninjutsu.

The main techniques are Fire Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release. Some Water Release and Earth Release techniques are also included, and each technique is accompanied by instructions on its training and execution.

"It seems that the clan's ninjas primarily use fire and lightning chakra. Wind chakra is likely the second chakra nature they cultivate, to complement their family's Fire Release techniques. Lightning chakra is probably the second chakra nature inherited from the family. After all, both the Sage of Six Paths and Indra were shown using lightning, not fire, in the TV series."

After finishing flipping through the scroll and putting it back, I casually flipped through the old-fashioned thread-bound books. They mostly contained training methods for the nature and form transformation of chakra. There were also some materials on genjutsu, sealing techniques, runes, barriers, and so on.

Without much hesitation, after restoring the study to its original state, I went to the living room. I sat on the sofa and watched Uchiha Mika tidy up the kitchen, waiting quietly.
