Autumn, the 44th year of Konoha.
Uchiha settlement, above Naga Shrine.
It was a continuous rainy day with fine rain like silk, dripping on the wall on one side of the street that was carved with a flaming fan, leaving a layer of barely visible water stains.
Last month, something big happened to Uchiha.
Which is, during a mission, they found an Uchiha who was not born in Konoha!
As the saying goes, when you find one cockroach, there are probably a whole nest of them.
No one knows whether there is still Uchiha bloodline like Seiji circulating in the ninja world.
In order to prevent the Uchiha bloodline from being lost and other ninja clans from coveting it, the Uchiha clan members who discovered Seiji immediately brought him back.
"But why is only one of his Sharingan open?"
"Yeah, is there anyone else in the clan in this situation?"
The Uchiha clan was talking about it a lot. Such a situation had never happened before, and the sensation it caused could be imagined.
From time to time, some eyes were cast towards Seiji who was sitting at the back.
Seiji ignored these gazes.
"When you were in the Land of Lightning, did you meet anyone with the same red eyes as you? We are all from the same clan, so you can tell me, I will order the clan members to bring them back."
Fugaku, who was at the top, asked Seiji.
It is difficult to find out how many years Seiji lived in the Land of Lightning and what happened during those years.
After this month's investigation, the only thing that is certain is that Seiji's identity is innocent.
He had learned some crude chakra refinement, but there were no signs of training on his body.
However, the game between ninja villages has always been cruel.
The newly appointed clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, had no choice but to be cautious.
"I have never seen anyone with eyes like mine, Fugaku-sama."
Seiji spoke calmly and raised his head.
He is a transmigrator and has been in the ninja world for several years.
As soon as he was born, specifically when he was in his mother's womb, he awakened his conscious, and gained the memories of his past lives.
His mother died giving birth to him.
As for his father... he had been missing since he was born.
It was not until Seiji was two years old and able to be kind of independent that he met his father.
Unfortunately, the so-called father died on the battlefield not long after.
It didn't really affect much, losing both parents is just a normal start in the ninja world.
Naruto, Sasuke, Konan, Nagato, Orochimaru, etc., which one of them didn't lose both parents?
His previous name was Seiji Yotsuki. He was a distant relative of the Yotsuki clan who was scattered outside and lived in a remote town.
It was not until he awakened the Sharingan that he happened to meet Uchiha Yakumi who was passing by to carry out a mission and was coming back to Konoha.
"That's good. No matter what, as long as you have the Uchiha blood flowing in your body, you are a member of the Uchiha clan. I will arrange for someone to send you to a ninja school."
Fugaku stared at Seiji with his scarlet eyes for a long time.
The Uchiha clan records doesn't have an Uchiha that had been to the Land of Lightning, but now, it seems that a one might have slipped from the clan and stayed there hidden.
And it is said that in an even longer than the time when Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha fought fiercely, in the present-day Land of Lightning, there was once a lord's wife who hired the Uchiha clan to expel the Chinoike Clan.
But later, due to the war with the Senju clan, a lot of information was lost in history.
Even Fugaku couldn't find out the details.
He did not release his sharingan's power, he just stared.
The air seemed to be covered with a heavy atmosphere, making it difficult to breathe.
Seiji remained calm.
He knew what Fugaku was thinking.
It's nothing more than whether one's identity has a formal origin.
It's a pity that the Uchiha and the Land of Lightning do have a story.
This incident is also recorded in the official novel " Sasuke Shinden: Book of Sunrise".
Finally, Fugaku sighed and looked away.
After all, this is just a child of a few years old.
How could he maintain his calm in the face of the pressure of his own Sharingan?
If this is the case, isn't it a little bit scary?
Even Hatake Sakumo's genius son, who has recently become famous, does not necessarily have such psychological qualities.
"Fugaku-sama, I am so happy to find out that I am from the Uchiha clan. I will never tarnish the reputation of the Uchiha clan in the future!"
Seiji's tone seemed very sincere.
At this time, a mechanical female voice sounded, without a trace of emotion.
"You have mastered the talent: [The Art of Speaking (White)]."
[talent: The Art of Speaking (White)]
[Requirement: Tell lies in front of a person of high status without changing your expression, the number of times required is 5 times.]
[Progress: (Completed).]
[Effect: Your words will be more convincing to others, and people of lower status than you will be more easily influenced by this.]
[Note: You can continue to advance later.]
"It finally worked."
A faint smile appeared on Seiji's lips.
If one wants to be not a beggar in the ninja world, they must have strength.
As we all know, in the ninja world, strong strength can only be passed on from mother to child, from master to disciple, or through blood.
Either you have good bloodline or you have a good teacher, and inherit the teacher's network of contacts.
If that doesn't work, then it's going to have to be like the transmission of blood, which requires closer contact. Your "Will of Fire" must be deep enough to learn one or two ninjutsu.
And Seiji's happens to possess something beyond these three, that is, his own efforts.
And a crude talent system.
It will record the name of the talent obtained by Seiji, the conditions for achieving it, the effects, etc.
But these are not given for free, Seiji needs to fulfill the conditions.
Just like this [Art of Speaking], Seiji needed to lie in front of Uchiha Fugaku at least five times.
Is he happy to be born as an Uchiha?
Is he really?
Seiji felt a bit of pressure.
The night of genocide, and the two subsequent ninja wars...
Life has completely started the countdown.
Not to mention the distant future, in a dozen years or so, the filial son Uchiha Itachi will wipe out the entire clan!
"Good."
Fugaku nodded. He felt much more comfortable after hearing Seiji's sincere words. This was a promising talent.
This pure speech allows people to feel the emotions hidden in the words.
Seiji's awareness is even higher than some ordinary Uchiha members.
Then he told Seiji to go out first.
After Seiji left, Uchiha Yashiro looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was expressionless but imposing without anger, and said:
"Seiji is an uchiha that Yakumi and his team found from the Land of Lightning. It is said that he also has the characteristics of the Yuki clan. Could he be a planted spy?"
"This needs further investigation, but his bloodline must be from the Uchiha clan. If an outsider transplants the Sharingan, it will be impossible to close it, which will bring a great burden to the person."
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and continued, "Tsunade will come to check on the condition of Seiji's Sharingan later."
"Fugaku, I'll go make arrangements for this child."
Mikoto stood up on the tatami in Naga Shrine.
