Konoha: Change from Uchiha

016. The genius who died young

Not long after, the guard members appeared near the training ground.

After confirming that there were no enemies around, Uchiha from the security team came to the training ground and frowned slightly when he found Sasuke who was packing his ninja tools.

He recognized Sasuke's identity.

"Sasuke, have you encountered an enemy? Why is there so much movement?"

"No, I was practicing the fire ball technique, but I couldn't control it well and accidentally hit a nearby tree. I will pay attention next time."

Sasuke looked aggrieved.

"Practice ninjutsu?"

Uchiha Tiehuo glanced at the charred trees in the distance, believed Sasuke's words, and felt inexplicable emotions in his heart.

When I was Sasuke's age, not to mention mastering C-level ninjutsu like Go Fireball, I had not even learned how to refine chakra. The gap between people was really too big.

The children of Captain Fugaku's family are indeed extraordinary, first the genius Itachi, and now Sasuke.

After some calculations in his mind, Uchiha Tiehuo put on a stern face and lectured:

"Since there is no fire accident, let's forget it this time. Don't go outside the training ground to practice fire escape ninjutsu in the future. The dry weather in winter can easily cause fires. This will not happen next time."

"I see."

Sasuke lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Seeing Sasuke admitting his mistake, Tiehuo didn't feel too embarrassed and waved his hand to ask Sasuke to leave.He led the team members and continued to patrol the edges of the clan territory.

Sasuke is trustworthy, but he is not an official ninja after all.

Even if a strange ninja sneaks into the clan area, he may not be able to find it.

After a round of inspection, Tie Huo found no other traces of chakra. After taking a deep look at the monitors on the tall buildings outside the clan's territory, he led his men back to the clan's territory.

At this time, an Uchiha next to him said: "Captain Iron Fire, have you felt that there have been more eyes monitoring the clan recently?"

Tie Huo did not deny that he was indeed aware of the eyes secretly peeking into the clan.

Before the war ended, the village began to monitor the clan with outstanding military achievements. As expected, those high-level officials had never truly accepted Uchiha and had been using Uchiha's power.

He had long been aware of this, but had not had the power to change it.

However, as long as Lord Fugaku accepts the coup plan, everything will be fine.

……

the other side.

After leaving the training ground, the guilty look on Sasuke's face disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

It was not accidental for Fugaku to see his hidden side, but a plan that had been made long ago. The purpose was to let Fugaku know that he was actually hiding his strength in secret, creating a sense of gap and laying a good foundation for the next meeting.

The reason is also very simple. The right to speak is based on strength.

This ability to be able to hold conversations can be either force or future potential. Only by showing sufficient strength can the words spoken will not be ignored by the other party and change his image in Fugaku's mind.

Before he knew it, Sasuke had returned home, and the living room was still lit with bright lights.

After opening the sliding door, he was greeted by scrutinizing eyes. Sasuke raised his head bravely, facing the pressure from the jounin, and looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

After the collision of eyes ended, Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't use the Sharingan's genjutsu.

Even after awakening the Sharingan, you have a certain resistance to illusions, but there is a world of difference between the Sharingan of the three magatama and the one magatama, which is the direct suppression of the superior by the inferior.

Sasuke hasn't revealed the existence of the Sharingan yet.

"Why hide your strength and still secretly train there so late at night?"

"That level of strength is nothing to show off. I have never encountered an emergency that required the use of strength to resolve, and you have never asked me about my specific learning progress."

"Is it…"

Fugaku's tone became much gentler.

After teaching Sasuke the Fireball Jutsu and opening up the permission to read some ninjutsu, he really didn't ask about Sasuke's progress in learning ninjutsu.On the one hand, it was because he felt that Sasuke was not as talented as Itachi, and on the other hand, it was because of his increasingly heavy workload that he had no time to take care of it.

It is undeniable that this is indeed his negligence and lack of concern for his children.

After thinking for a while, Fugaku folded his hands on his chest and said: "I neglected to take care of you. In the future, you don't have to go to such remote places to practice. Go to the training ground where I often go. For my sake, the adults will take more care of you."

Sasuke shook his head slightly: "No, I will continue to hide my strength."

"Why is this?"

Fugaku was confused and didn't understand Sasuke's intention.

If you hid your strength before because you were angry because you didn't care about yourself, why do you continue to hide your strength now? Is there any special reason?

Moreover, the number of geniuses in a clan often determines the future of the ninja clan, and is also a way to show off muscles.

All major ninja clans will not hide their family's genius.

"Father..." Sasuke raised his head and said.

"Recently, I have read a lot of books in the clan and figured out some things. Many young ninjas who are praised as geniuses by the village often encounter special care from hostile ninja villages and die before they have grown up. The title of genius is more like It’s a death-inducing curse.”

Fugaku frowned and looked into Sasuke's eyes, his gaze becoming serious.

"I understand what you mean, but a genius who does not undergo training cannot become a truly strong man. The village will not let geniuses perform missions that require death, but training is essential. Even I gained the ability after encountering dozens of battles. After being recognized by the clan and the village, he became the captain of the security force.

So, Sasuke, do you want to escape?Escape your fate as a ninja? "

"I never wanted to escape becoming a ninja and fighting, but there have been too many geniuses in the clan in recent years."

"Huh?!" Fugaku was stunned for a moment, and his expression became solemn.

"Brother Shisui and Brother Itachi are both at the top of the Ninja Village in terms of talent. It is not surprising that they will become legendary figures like the Sannin in the future. But such geniuses always appear in Uchiha, which will arouse the jealousy and fear of others. ”

After a pause, Sasuke continued:

"So, it's enough that only Brother Shisui and Brother Itachi in our clan are geniuses. I don't need to be a genius. I just need to be an top student above the level."

After hearing this, Fugaku fell into silence.

In the living room, the atmosphere of dialogue between father and son had disappeared. Fugaku had the illusion that he was in a small meeting during the day, as if he was not talking to his youngest son, but to an elite Jonin who had seen through the situation.

After a long time, Fugaku said: "Since you are willing to hide your strength, continue to hide it. If you lack ninjutsu guidance and funds, just speak up. I will try my best to give you the treatment that a genius deserves."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fugaku felt a little tired from the conversation with Sasuke.

His two children are not normal children, they are both geniuses who are beyond ordinary people. Faced with such geniuses who have adult thinking at a very young age, there is not much he can do to interfere, and he can only let them grow on their own.

Although Sasuke needs the pouring of resources and the guidance of ninjutsu, it is not essential.

If he is willing, he can take advantage of his past life memories and earn enough money for a lifetime before he reaches adulthood, but the prerequisite is that he must survive the crisis of genocide and survive.

Thinking of this, Sasuke looked at Fugaku who was about to leave the living room and said:

"Father, I heard all the conversations you had with Uncle Yashiro, Uncle Daohuo and Uncle Tiehuo during the day."
