Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 63 Father and Son

He had a son who looked remarkably like him, and even his demeanor was seven or eight parts similar.

Deep down, Uchiha Shigeyama harbored a sense of guilt that no one else knew about.

In order to encourage his growth.

From the time this child could remember, I have always faced him with this stiff and rigid face that I usually present to outsiders.

There was never a single word of praise or compliment. When he graduated from the Ninja Academy with top marks, he simply said, "As expected of my son."

They ignored the expectant and longing look on his face.

Even when he was heartbroken and devastated by the loss of his teammates and needed care the most, he was not offered a single word of comfort.

Ignoring the pain and confusion in his eyes, they instead congratulated him on awakening the Sharingan, the bloodline limit that made his family famous.

All that was left for him was a cold, distant back view.

However, in places unseen by outsiders, he closely monitored Fugaku's every move. He was constantly concerned about Fugaku's health and safety, but never revealed a single detail.

This child did not disappoint his parents' expectations. He was incredibly strong and stood out among the younger generation of the family, earning the unanimous recognition of the elders of each branch.

He is meticulous and measured in his actions, and can handle any task, whether it is a difficult mission issued by the Hokage or a clan elder with ulterior motives deliberately making things difficult for him.

Even if something were to happen to him in the impending Fourth Shinobi World War, he would surely be able to bear the weight of the Uchiha name and the future of the clan.

However, it's also time to find him a suitable marriage partner!

Looking at the tall, spirited young man in front of him, just over twenty years old, Uchiha Shigeyama thought to himself.

"Father, Uchiha Toshiro gives the impression of being quite mature, with clear and logical thinking, and he has his own views on the possibility of war breaking out."

"He didn't object to his family urging him to graduate from the ninja academy early."

"On the contrary, they showed a strong desire for secret techniques and power, and inquired about the family's secret vault."

"There's no difference between talking to him and talking to any adult!"

After recalling his interactions with Toshiro, Fugaku Uchiha answered in detail and also shared his own views on him.

At this moment, Fugaku had no idea of ​​the rich thoughts swirling within his father's mind. He also couldn't possibly know that in the near future, he would welcome a beautiful wife.

She later gave birth to an exceptionally talented eldest son who far surpassed her own. More than a decade later, her grown-up eldest son went against her wishes and pushed the Uchiha clan into the abyss.

Hearing his younger brother's statement and his son's opinion.

Uchiha Shigeyama did not rush to express his opinion, but instead asked his son to take a thick book from the bookshelf and carefully read it.

"Found him, Uchiha Toshiro!"

"So it's Masahiko's son!"

"Yes! He's also the grandson of the ruling elder!"

Flipping through the family genealogy book in his hands, which contained copies of the various lineages within the clan, Uchiha Shigeyama found Toshiro's record without much effort. He also discovered the names of his father and grandmother, which were somewhat familiar to him.

Regardless of the world, organization, or clan, when deciding to train someone, they always conduct a thorough investigation into their background and origins. The Uchiha clan is no exception.

[He's Masahiko's son, so his identity is no longer in question; he's considered a pillar of the third branch of the clan!]

Is he the grandson of a powerful figure? It's not surprising he has such talent. I wonder if he possesses the ability to unlock the kaleidoscope?

Uchiha Shigeyama couldn't help but recall the extraordinary woman who had quelled the clan's internal strife. She had also single-handedly created the forbidden technique "Izanami," a technique that could force people to face reality and change their destiny.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think of that biggest internal strife in the history of the family.

After Madara Uchiha left, they fought for the vacant position of clan leader.

Born into the first and second branches, the leaders lead their respective subordinates. Relying on their Mangekyou Sharingan, they fight each other using the family's forbidden technique, "Izanagi."

In this internal strife, Uchiha Baru used Izanagi to kill his rivals in his quest for power. However, the struggle was far from over, as others also sought to kill Uchiha Baru. The elite members of the participating clans slaughtered each other until everyone fell, leaving only one survivor: Uchiha Naka.

In order to save Uchiha Naka and end the internal strife within the clan, Uchiha Chiri created Izanami, which successfully stopped the war.

Even so, the price the family paid was devastating. The combat personnel of the first and second branches were almost entirely wiped out. The third branch, to which their predecessor belonged, primarily focused on support and logistics.

Of the three pairs of kaleidoscopes, one died and two were crippled!

If it weren't for the Second Hokage's consideration for the attitude of the surviving First Hokage, and the remaining members of the clan, such as Naka and Naga, and the fact that the village had only recently been established and couldn't easily commit such a massacre...

If it weren't for the predecessors who developed "Izanami" and quelled this war, everyone would have continued to fight and kill each other.

The family's fate was almost unimaginable.

Whenever he thinks of this, he feels a deep sense of regret and despair.

The ancestors of this clan were truly incompetent; producing a rogue ninja like Uchiha Madara was bad enough. But with three pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan in hand, even if the clan didn't covet the Second Hokage's position, they could at least have some hope of becoming the Third Hokage.

As a result, you fought yourselves to a standstill. With your strength severely diminished, you were kicked out of the center of power by the second-generation leader, and you didn't dare utter a single word.

Wei Ran let out a long sigh, pulling his thoughts back from their turmoil. He looked at Uchiha Fugaku standing before him. The future of the clan still depends on these young people.

"In that case, Fugaku, take him to the secret arts storehouse tonight and let him choose a secret art he likes... I wonder if the grandson of the senior has any special talents in illusion arts!"

Since he was a true member of the family, unlike those traitors, Uchiha Shigeyama was generous in nurturing him. Since he craved power, the clan would provide him with this stepping stone to see just how far he could grow.

"And Shigeaki, these kids will be under your guidance in the future!"

He had complete peace of mind about his younger brother. Although he had some unrealistic fantasies when he was young, he had gradually come to terms with reality as he grew older.
