Today, the Uchiha clan welcomes a new shinobi: Uchiha Raizen."
As soon as he finished, several clan members who hadn't yet awakened their Sharingan opened their eyes. Scarlet dots lit up the chamber like sparks.
Activating the Sharingan was a special ritual of the Uchiha clan....a silent congratulations to the newcomer, as well as a form of scrutiny.
Raizen stood up.
The firelight flickered across his tall, straight figure, making him stand out clearly.
His gaze swept over the room without a trace of fear.
Fugaku nodded inwardly.
He remembered how, on the very first day, this boy had performed admirably even under his Sharingan.
"The Uchiha clan does not discriminate against mixed blood.
As long as you are part of the Uchiha, you are one of us...united."
Fugaku said.
No matter whose blood ran through Raizen's veins, as long as he was loyal to the clan, that was enough.
"Yes, Lord Fugaku."
Raizen nodded.
Anyone could say pretty words about unity.
Whether Fugaku himself truly practiced what he preached… the original story had already given its answer.
"What are your plans moving forward?"
Fugaku asked, looking at Raizen.
He had received a subtle hint from Sarutobi Hiruzen that Raizen carried the Will of Fire.
That clearly meant the Hokage favored him.
So Fugaku, who had originally planned to assign Raizen directly to the Konoha Military Police Force, changed his mind.
"I… want to carry out missions like any other shinobi. Once I've gained enough experience, I'll join the Police Force and work alongside everyone."
Raizen's expression showed longing. After a pause, he added
"Also, Lady Nonou has agreed to teach me medical ninjutsu. I'd like to train in that area as well.
Once I'm capable, I'll be able to help the clan more effectively."
"Yakushi Nonou?"
Fugaku asked, puzzled.
The other clan members looked equally confused.
"Isn't she a highly skilled medical ninja?"
"I heard that aside from Tsunade, she's the best medical ninja in Konoha."
"Ah, I remember now. She treated me once. Her medical ninjutsu is truly impressive."
"Uchiha Raizen actually has Yang Release affinity?"
The clan members whispered among themselves.
They were shocked not only that Yakushi Nonou had taken a liking to Raizen, but also that he possessed Yang Release.
Most Uchiha were Yin-natured. Only a small number had Yang affinity.
Hearing this, Uchiha Uzuki grew even more restless.
She… hadn't really offended Raizen, had she?
And now that he knew about her talent, was he acting so confident because he planned to settle the score later?
At this moment, Uchiha Uzuki felt a chill at the thought of Raizen's performance that day.
How old was this kid, really?
It was an agreement between Raizen and Yakushi Nonou."
Seeing the clan's confusion, Mikoto stood up and explained the situation.
As long as Raizen graduated from the academy and possessed the aptitude for medical ninjutsu, Nonou was willing to teach him.
Mikoto had been present when Nonou said those words.
"I didn't expect you to have such talent."
Fugaku nodded.
Being favored by the medical division captain meant Raizen had excellent potential in that field.
The only regret was that Raizen had only one Sharingan eye. Whether it could evolve further was uncertain.
Mixed-blood Uchiha weren't unheard of, but one-eyed Uchiha were extremely rare....only a few scattered records from the Warring States period remained.
"For now, follow the village's arrangements."
Fugaku decided Raizen's immediate path.
Since Sarutobi Hiruzen favored him, Fugaku could use Raizen to ease tensions between the village and the Uchiha.
Ever since the Uchiha took over the Police Force, they had offended many people.
Many clans treated the Uchiha with cold indifference, leaving the clan somewhat isolated in the vast village of Konoha.
"Is there anything you want?"
Since Raizen was such a genius, Fugaku decided to invest more heavily and strengthen his ties to the clan.
"I need a ninja sword."
Raizen answered honestly.
He had been wondering where to get the money for one. If the clan provided it, that would be perfect.
"No problem. Mikoto, after this, take Raizen to collect the 'Fire Release
Great Fireball Technique,' then escort him outside the village to the ninja cat clan to buy a suitable blade."
Fugaku instructed Mikoto.
She always completed his tasks with high efficiency. Fugaku quietly regarded her as his future wife.
"Understood."
Mikoto nodded.
With that settled, Fugaku had Raizen sit down and began discussing other clan matters.
Only Uchiha Uzuki remained restless, glancing toward Raizen from time to time.
Raizen noticed her unease.
The corners of his mouth curled into a faint, sinister smile.
Wasn't she the perfect candidate to enhance his ocular power right now?
