Uchiha's personal opinion

"Clam?!"

Uchiha Shiina was immediately surprised; how could this be related to him? He was about to blurt out a triple denial: "No, I didn't, don't make things up!"

"I learned this technique from the hand seals tutorial scroll last week..." Uchiha Tokumitsu replied weakly.

This time, it was Uchiha Nakagen's turn to be embarrassed. The scroll was originally a fairly complete ninjutsu teaching scroll, which contained only hand seals and content about chakra management and technique execution. The Great Fireball Technique was recorded as an "after-class exercise" in it. He originally thought that Uchiha Shiina was giving Tokumitsu some private lessons, but he did not expect that Tokumitsu had taught himself. This talent in ninjutsu made the old father feel both gratified and quite pressured.

My son is truly terrifying!

"Time to eat!"

Emiko Uchiha brought the dishes out of the kitchen and invited the family to sit down for the meal. Upon seeing this, Shiina Uchiha got up to say goodbye, but Nakagen Uchiha repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay. After she declined three times, Shiina Uchiha finally felt at ease and sat down in the dining room with her.

"Let's dig in!"

Although Uchiha Nakagen maintained his usual calm and expressionless demeanor tonight, his inner world was far from peaceful. He not only opened a bottle of his treasured wine but also made an exception by pouring a glass for Uchiha Shiina. Meanwhile, Uchiha Emiko's smile never faded. Although she was in the kitchen while her son and father were practicing, as a ninja, she had heard everything that was happening in the outer room. Naturally, she knew that her precious son was exceptionally talented, and as a mother, there was no greater comfort than this.

After a round of toasts and a satisfying meal, Uchiha Emiko cleared the table, Uchiha Shiina got up to take his leave, while Uchiha Nakagen pulled Uchiha Tokumitsu to sit down at the tea table in the hall. He slowly began to brew tea, poured a cup for Uchiha Tokumitsu, and then silently sipped the tea.

After Uchiha Emiko finished her housework and returned to the living room to sit down next to her husband, Uchiha Nakagen asked Uchiha Tokumitsu, "Regarding your training in ninjutsu, do you plan to receive training at the clan or go to the ninja academy?"

"I wish to receive the family's guidance!"

Uchiha Nakagen remained expressionless and slowly nodded, while Uchiha Emiko, holding her husband's hand, still looked at her beloved son with doting eyes.

Uchiha Nakagen glanced at Uchiha Emiko beside him and took a slight breath. "I'll take you to see Elder Setsuna tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Emiko Uchiha's body trembled slightly, as if the name spoken by her husband possessed some kind of captivating magic, but she remained silent, only lowering her head slightly.

Chapter 3 The Beginning of Building Momentum

A beautiful day begins with embracing the first rays of morning sunlight.

At this moment, Uchiha Tokumitsu, awakened by the sunlight, genuinely loved the sunshine.

Looking out from the room, the first thing you see is a corner of the Konoha Police Department building.

The main urban area of ​​Konoha Village is built along the eastern mountain range, with the Hokage Rock as its centerpiece, and is spread out in a fan shape, divided into three areas: west, south, and north. The Ninja Academy, Konoha Hospital, and Hokage Building are all located below the Hokage Rock, while the police department is located in the southern commercial district, which is farther away from the Hokage Rock.

Although the Police Department is relatively far from other departments in Konoha, it is relatively close to Konoha Prison, making it convenient for the Police Department to carry out interrogation and detention operations.

……

The police department, a powerful department in Konoha, is the exclusive domain of the Uchiha clan.

The power of the police department is mainly reflected in the power of arrest and detention. Simply put, the police department can arrest and detain people directly without the Hokage or his advisors. Although the final judgment and trial must be reported to the Hokage Building, this power has already surpassed that of the Anbu directly under the Hokage on the surface. It should be noted that even the Anbu needs the Hokage's warrant to arrest people.

Moreover, as a ninja village, Konoha has countless active and retired ninjas throughout history. As a collection of ninjas who are themselves powerful weapons of war, if the police department could enforce the law in the village in this way, it would be tantamount to throwing their lives away if their own combat strength was not strong enough. The renowned, powerful and fierce Uchiha clan is the best candidate.

Although in his previous life, the Uchiha clan, unwilling to be confined to the police department, attempted to seize the position of Hokage through rebellion, ultimately resulting in their deaths and the extermination of their clan.

"I'm here, so let me make the changes!"

Looking out the window at the police department, Uchiha Tokumitsu snapped out of his reverie and thought to himself.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face, and changing into the standard Uchiha clan black short-sleeved shirt with the Uchiha clan crest resembling a ping-pong paddle on the back, and with his hair still tied back with his usual gold hair tie, a handsome Uchiha child with a cold expression appeared in front of the dressing mirror.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was satisfied with his attire today. Although he wasn't exactly a fashionista or a hairstylist in his previous life, he had worked as a financial professional and therefore had a certain level of taste in clothing and cleanliness.

In the lobby on the first floor, Uchiha Nakagen was already dressed neatly and sitting upright at the tea table, flipping through scrolls. When he saw Uchiha Tokumitsu come downstairs, he didn't say anything, still as expressionless and rigid as ever, only nodding slightly. Uchiha Tokumitsu greeted him and obediently walked to the dining table and sat down. Uchiha Emiko came out of the kitchen and brought him a breakfast.

Today's meal is a milk, egg, and beef sandwich.

Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly finished his breakfast and then went out with Uchiha Nakagen.

……

The Uchiha clan's territory resembled a village within a village, with rows of Uchiha houses standing side by side. The household name plaques at the entrances and the walls were adorned with the Uchiha clan emblem, all clearly indicating that this was Uchiha territory. Although it was still early, everyone walking on the road, whether ninja or civilian, including those in the shops along the street, were Uchiha clan members.

The Uchiha clan differed from other ninja clans in that the Uchiha clan's territory was surrounded by walls, and the northern entrance was the police headquarters, while the southern entrance faced Konoha Prison. For ordinary people, unless absolutely necessary, they would rather take a detour than pass through the Uchiha clan's territory.

However, the Uchiha clan members felt that this estrangement from the village was perfectly normal and didn't matter at all. After all, as the leaders of the Konoha Police Department, it was normal for the Uchiha clan to offend people.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan is accustomed to viewing issues "from the perspective of strength," so they naturally don't care much about the opinions of these commoners and ordinary ninjas.

As it happened, Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't care.

For him, due to his past life, this world always felt somewhat unreal. Although he experienced hunger, pain, colds, and illnesses in this life, and bled when injured, and even got blisters in his mouth if he used fire jutsu incorrectly, he still lacked empathy for outsiders. Simply put, subconsciously, he regarded those bystanders as NPCs who were there to farm experience and gold.

However, it is precisely because of this mentality that Uchiha Tokumitsu in this life behaves in a very "Uchiha" way.

The road wasn't far, and we arrived at our destination quickly.

Before them stood a spacious mansion with its gate open. Facing the entrance was a screen wall engraved with the Uchiha clan crest, and the courtyard wall was adorned with brick windows carved into the shape of shuriken.

Standing to the left of the screen was a middle-aged ninja who looked to be about thirty years old. When he saw Uchiha Nakagen leading Uchiha Tokumitsu in, he smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"Zhong Xuanjun, it's been a long time. I heard your lightning techniques have improved again. Shall we have another spar sometime?"

"Captain Higanbana, it's been a long time since we last met. Speaking of ninjutsu, your Fire Release is truly the best in Konoha..."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two turned their attention to the tiny creature beside them.

"This must be your young master, right? It's said that Xiao Deguang is a rare ninjutsu genius in the family."

"Lord Huomen, you flatter me. My skills are still far from being of any use. I still need Elder Shana's guidance and instruction."

"Haha, alright, alright, Zhong Xuan-jun has become much more polite since his promotion in the police department. Come in, Elder Shana is already waiting."

Uchiha Himon led the two into the house, through a long corridor, and into the living room.

An elderly man was kneeling in the hall, dressed in a black kimono. His posture was slightly hunched, and he was looking at the approaching crowd with a kind expression.

"Elder Shasana, good day!"

Without waiting for Uchiha Himon to introduce him, Uchiha Nakagen took the initiative to bow and greet the old man. Uchiha Tokumitsu followed suit and bowed in the same manner.

"Good day, Elder!"

The old man's smile deepened, and he looked every bit the kind and gentle old grandfather.

"Zhong Xuanjun, it's been a long time. Please come in."

The group took off their shoes and went inside, kneeling before Elder Shana.

"This must be Xiao Deguang. I've heard about your talent; you're a ninjutsu genius of our Uchiha clan."

After everyone was seated, Elder Shana spoke first.

Uchiha Tokumitsu was slightly embarrassed upon hearing this, unsure how to respond. He could only smile awkwardly and bow slightly in response.

"I dare not accept such praise. Our family is full of talented people, and my son is only slightly ahead. However, my abilities are limited, and I am afraid that I will fail to live up to my son's talent. Therefore, I earnestly hope that I can entrust him to the elders for guidance so that he can become a pillar of our Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Nakagen bowed again and said.

"The clan's talents... Heh, only those who are of one mind with the clan are the heroes of the Uchiha clan."

Elder Shana sighed softly and said with a touch of melancholy.

The crowd remained silent.

Uchiha Tokumitsu felt as if he had heard something extraordinary.

After a brief sigh, Elder Setsuna's face broke into a wide smile again as he said to Uchiha Tokumitsu, "Little Tokumitsu, how long have you been learning the Great Fireball Technique?"

"one day!"

Uchiha Tokumitsu replied respectfully.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this. To learn a C-rank ninjutsu in a single day without any instruction was unprecedented, if not unparalleled.

“Even Madara, back in the day, only learned this technique under the tutelage of Elder Tajima,” Elder Setsuna sighed, his smile widening. “I’ll give you another ninjutsu; do you think you can learn it?”

“I’ll give it a try!” Uchiha Tokumitsu replied.

Uchiha Nakagen, who was standing to the side, hesitated to speak, but Elder Setsuna ignored him and took out a scroll from his sleeve, handing it to Uchiha Tokumitsu. "This technique is the Phoenix Flower Technique. Take a look at it first."

Uchiha Tokumitsu took the scroll, opened it, and examined it closely. As he read, he tried to practice the corresponding hand seals according to the scroll's instructions, refining and circulating his chakra as he practiced.

The Phoenix Flower Technique is a fire-style ninjutsu that involves continuously spitting out fireballs from the mouth to attack the enemy. The trajectory of the fireballs can be manipulated using chakra. They resemble a balsam flower, hence the name Phoenix Flower. Although it is a C-rank ninjutsu, the Great Fireball Technique, it is relatively more difficult to perform.

Elder Setsuna grinned, revealing a few uneven old teeth, as he looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu's serious expression. Uchiha Nakagen, on the other hand, seemed somewhat uneasy.

……

After a long while, Uchiha Tokumitsu raised his head, put away the scroll and placed it in front of him, and said to Elder Setsuna, "I have learned it."

Upon hearing this, both Uchiha Nakagen and Uchiha Kamon felt somewhat dazed.

Elder Shana pursed his lips, trying to conceal his expression, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, let's try it in the yard."

Elder Setsuna stood up with a smile and eagerly pulled Uchiha Tokumitsu towards the courtyard.

Uchiha Himon hesitated, while Uchiha Nakagen appeared slightly uneasy.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Elder Setsuna stood in the middle and greeted Uchiha Tokumitsu with a smile, "Little Tokumitsu, let's begin."

"My apologies, Elder."

Uchiha Tokumitsu stood about 10 meters away from Elder Setsuna, preparing to cast a spell.

"Zi-Yin-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin"

In order to coordinate the flow and mobilization of chakra within his body, Uchiha Tokumitsu performed hand seals very slowly.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

A series of fireballs, like bullets, were rapidly shot out from Uchiha Tokumitsu's mouth, drawing arcs in the air as they hurtled towards Elder Setsuna.

In an instant, Elder Shaka also clasped his hands together and quickly formed a hand seal.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"

An identical Phoenix Fire Technique was also unleashed, the surging fireballs tracing eerie curves, striking the ninjutsu fireballs spewed out by Uchiha Tokuko. As the ninjutsu collided, clusters of sparks scattered in all directions like meteors and fireworks, creating small, pitted holes in the lawn, flowers, potted plants, and rockery in the courtyard.

Like fireworks bursting forth, both dazzling and dangerous—that's the allure of Fire Release.

"it is good!"

Elder Setsuna instantly moved forward and supported Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was feeling a little dizzy from overusing his chakra. His old face beamed with a smile as bright as a flower.

"This is a pillar of our clan, a steed of exceptional talent!"

At this moment.
