Uchiha's personal opinion

Fortunately, it was just that my chakra was depleted.

At this moment, Elder Setsuna stared with his Sharingan eyes, each with three tomoe, and laughed like a sixty-year-old child.

Chapter 7 The Essence of a Ninja

What is a ninja?

Or rather, what is most important to a ninja?

Orochimaru's answer was "A ninja is someone who uses ninjutsu," while Jiraiya's was "A ninja is someone who can endure everything."

Before the Sage of Six Paths founded Ninshu and taught chakra, ninjas, like samurai, monks, and priestesses, were just an insignificant member of the many combat professions. At that time, ninjas were merely unseen weapons used by daimyo and nobles for dirty work, and their official status was even lower than that of samurai.

After being taught chakra, ninjas, with their more efficient training system and stronger combat power, swept away many of the original combat professions into the dustbin of history like autumn leaves. Even the once glorious samurai can only survive by hiding in the remote and cold land of the Land of Iron.

……

What about the Uchiha clan?

The Uchiha clan members are roughly equivalent to ninjas.

The Uchiha clan had a registered population of approximately 1800 people in Konoha over 28 years, including more than 700 ninjas officially registered in Konoha. The number of clan ninjas operating in secret is unknown, as are the number who retired due to injury, illness, or old age. For ninja clans, lineage is the shortcut to becoming a ninja, and the Uchiha clan's exceptionally high success rate laid the foundation for its status as the most powerful clan.

……

Another new day.

At dawn, just as day was breaking, all was quiet. A sliver of light appeared on the eastern horizon, cautiously illuminating the pale blue sky. A new day was slowly moving in from the distance.

Uchiha Tokumitsu woke up early as usual, but today he didn't wash up and change as quickly as before. Instead, he stood in front of the full-length mirror, gazing happily at the handsome little boy with one tomoe in the mirror.

Sharingan!

A unique bloodline limit symbolizing the source of the Uchiha clan's power!

The eyes are a must-have for the main characters in Legend of the Eyes!

As a transmigrator, Uchiha Tokumitsu has always been pondering where his future should lead.

Is it to dominate the ninja world and wreak havoc everywhere?

Or will he seize power, usurp the throne, and become a shadow emperor?

Or perhaps he should emulate Orochimaru and seek the path to immortality?

Or perhaps it was the breaking of the void that allowed it to trace its bloodline back to its source and evolve into a complete Otsutsuki?

There are many ideas, and many answers.

But everything must be based on strength!

Even though the night of the massacre is still far off, there are still the Second and Third Shinobi World Wars waiting for us. Once on the battlefield, titles like "Shinobi World Elite" or "Uchiha Genius" will only make you a target of concentrated fire. The only way to survive is through your own strength.

For the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan is the foundation of their strength.

Although it was only a single tomoe, Uchiha Tokumitsu could sense the burgeoning power in the eyes through his powerful spiritual strength. Although it was still weak at this moment, its vitality was like a small but inextinguishable divine fire that only existed in mythology. Nourished and nurtured by spiritual strength and chakra, it was slowly and steadily growing stronger.

Being born into the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan is the biggest advantage, although it is quite difficult to realize this advantage. Of the hundreds or even thousands of ninjas in the Uchiha clan, only a few have names and identities. Most Uchiha clan members can only reach the level of Chunin at most in their entire lives.

However, for someone who was a struggling and unsuccessful office worker in his previous life, being reborn as an Uchiha and awakening the Sharingan was the greatest fortune, not to mention being able to control extraordinary abilities like the Sharingan and the Five Elements Ninjutsu, which were his dreams in his previous life.

……

Uchiha Nakagen and Emiko also got up very early today. When Uchiha Tokumitsu came downstairs, Emiko had just prepared breakfast, and the family sat together to eat breakfast as usual.

While eating breakfast, Uchiha Nakagen asked Deko about yesterday's training. After all, when Elder Setsuna brought Deko back after he fainted for the first time after opening his eyes yesterday, Nakagen and his wife were quite frightened. They didn't have time to ask any questions and went to bed early after settling Deko in.

Uchiha Nakagen found Uchiha Tokumitsu's somewhat peculiar way of awakening his Sharingan somewhat amusing, but also quite intrigued. So he asked Uchiha Tokumitsu to use his Sharingan to figure it out.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's Sharingan was no different from the one-tomoe Sharingan of the other clan members. Uchiha Nakagen observed for a while but couldn't find any difference. However, Tokumitsu was about to lose control of his Sharingan due to limited chakra. Seeing this, Uchiha Nakagen gave up in frustration, thinking that it might be related to Uchiha Tokumitsu's obviously higher than ordinary mental strength.

After breakfast, Uchiha Nakagen dressed and went to work at the police department, while Emiko started doing housework. Uchiha Tokumitsu helped wash the dishes before heading to Elder Setsuna's house to begin his training for the day.

……

The Uchiha Clan's Nanga Training Ground.

This is a training ground directly under the Uchiha clan, located near the Uchiha Shrine in the Naka River area. Those who can train here are naturally members of the Uchiha clan.

Elder Setsuna arrived with Uchiha Tokumitsu and three accompanying guards. Today's instruction focused on the practical application of ninjutsu.

Being able to unleash ninjutsu is only the first step for a ninja. It requires a lot of hard work beyond talent, especially in actual combat, which is not as easy as regular practice.

Watching the two guard ninjas practice their moves, flashing back and forth, testing each other, with ninja tools and ninjutsu flying together, and fireballs and lightning all blending into a dazzling spectacle, he found it hard to imagine how those Chunin and Jonin could manage to move at high speed on a battlefield full of enemies, dodging enemy ninjutsu and tools while simultaneously executing their own ninjutsu quickly.

"Little Deguang~ Ninjas are not just about ninjutsu, but more importantly, about the flexible use of it in battle. A ninja's battle often begins after a period of probing, and most importantly, the outcome is decided in a split second by the slightest opening..."

As they were talking, a guard ninja leaped into the air to dodge the Great Fireball, but was deformed by the shockwave of the fireball's explosion. Then another ninja followed up with a Phoenix Flower Technique, and while the opponent dodged, he used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind him, holding a kunai to his neck.

The outcome is decided.

"Little Deguang, how are you feeling? Want to give it a try?"

Elder Setsuna looked at Uchiha Tokumitsu with a smile.

"it is good!"

"Chiaki-kun, you go ahead."

Elder Setsuna signaled to the third guard ninja, named Uchiha Chiaki, to test their skills against Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Uchiha Chiaki nodded silently, then instantly flashed to the middle of the training field and stood there, looking at Uchiha Tokumitsu.

Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath to calm his inner tension, but the excitement on his face was impossible to hide. Perhaps it was the effect of the Uchiha bloodline in this life, but Uchiha Tokumitsu's fighting desire was unusually strong at this moment.

Gradually, from walking to jogging, Uchiha Tokumitsu sped up and ran towards Uchiha Chiaki.

It was an offensive initiative?

Elder Chana raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

"Shh-"

Uchiha Tokumitsu quickly pulled out three kunai from his ninja tool pouch, held them in his palm, and twirled them slightly around his fingertips.

Then it was suddenly thrown!

bang——

He propelled himself forward with a burst of speed, accompanied by a kunai that shot out from under his feet.

Then—

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

As he ran, Uchiha Tokumitsu rapidly formed hand seals, his chakra circulating quickly within him, unleashing a powerful fireball.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Uchiha Chiaki responded with a Great Fireball Technique in return. The two huge fireballs collided, and the heat wave from the explosion sent several kunai that Uchiha Tokumitsu had thrown earlier flying everywhere.

Then, before the embers and smoke could dissipate, Uchiha Chiaki flashed forward and rushed towards the direction of Uchiha Tokumitsu in the smoke.

At this moment, Uchiha Tokumitsu was in a rather disheveled state due to the heat wave from the Great Fireball explosion. The huge heat wave shockwave made it difficult for the four-year-old kid to stand, and the kunai and shuriken from his ninja tool bag were scattered all over the ground. Helpless, he had to mobilize his chakra to the soles of his feet to firmly grip the ground so as not to be overturned by the heat wave.

At that moment, Uchiha Chiaki appeared in front of Uchiha Tokumitsu, and the two looked at each other.

not good!

Uchiha Tokumitsu was secretly alarmed.

"Illusion Technique: The Technique of Seeing Naraku"

Uchiha Chiaki planned to end the battle with a single genjutsu.

Uchiha Tokumitsu's body suddenly stiffened, his pupils dilated, and his eyes became lifeless.

Yeah, got it!

Uchiha Chiaki, quite pleased with himself, planned to pat Tokumitsu on the shoulder to break the genjutsu.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tokumitsu's eyes darted around, and tomoe appeared in his eyes.

'The illusion dispelled itself?!'

Uchiha Chiaki was also taken aback.

Uchiha Tokumitsu waved his left hand upwards, and the kunai and shuriken scattered on the ground bounced up and shot towards Uchiha Chiaki.

The handles on the ninja tools were already bound with thin steel wires, and Uchiha Tokumitsu now controlled the ninja tools using the steel wires and chakra.

This is incredible!

The Uchiha clan's ninja tool throwing skills are unparalleled in the ninja world, and their ninja tool manipulation techniques combined with the Sharingan are invincible. However, for a child who has just begun his training, Uchiha Tokumitsu's ability to achieve this level is already an astonishing display of talent.

Elder Setsuna, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was filled with admiration.

This further solidified his resolve to train Uchiha Tokumitsu. He not only needed to teach him ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, but also to cultivate a bond between Uchiha Tokumitsu and the radicals, fostering a sense of belonging and making him wholeheartedly committed to becoming an 'Uchiha ninja' rather than a 'Konoha ninja'.

Perhaps it's time to add some more chips.

While Elder Setsuna was lost in thought, Uchiha Tokumitsu and Uchiha Chiaki were already locked in battle on the training ground. However, Uchiha Chiaki maintained a defensive stance, relying solely on taijutsu.

bang bang bang-

Their figures clashed, fists and feet collided. The speed of their exchange was extremely fast.

Their figures crisscrossed and darted about, constantly emitting sounds of collision.

Bang!

Uchiha Chiaki performed a backflip in mid-air to dodge the shuriken that Uchiha Tokumitsu had suddenly shot out, and then kicked Uchiha Tokumitsu.

hiss hiss hiss—

Uchiha Tokumitsu could only defend with his two arms, but the powerful force still sent him flying. In mid-air, his small body managed to flip over and land on the ground, but the force still left two marks on the grass.

Call ~

Uchiha Tokumitsu was panting heavily, and the single tomoe in his eye spun faster and faster, while Uchiha Chiaki remained completely calm.

After all, Uchiha Tokumitsu was at a disadvantage in terms of both age and physical ability.

"Alright! Stop now."

Elder Sha Na immediately called for a truce.
