Tatsumi just selected a scroll about Sharingan usage experience from the clan and left.
It's free, so why not take it? Besides, he doesn't lack ninjutsu.
However, at this moment, he really wanted to say mmp and give Uchiha Shan the middle finger.
Please find someone else more capable!
Tatsumi was internally ranting like crazy. It's not that he was being modest, but how did a second-year student at the Ninja Academy suddenly catch the eyes of all these big shots?
He was clearly just a salted fish before.
Tatsumi had always adhered to the principle of keeping quiet and making a fortune, saying nothing.
After all, this was the wisdom of an elder.
But now?
The clan leader suddenly ran over to tell him, "I've decided, after research by the clan, you will be the future Hokage."
Isn't this too predetermined?
Tatsumi slowly walked back to his home. He didn't know if anyone was monitoring him.
In the dark night, the entire clan grounds became very quiet. The surrounding streetlights emitted a dim yellow light.
Tatsumi suddenly felt that this was a glorious and huge tomb. And where he was, seemed like just a small mound.
It seemed he would have to move out sooner or later.
But all of this had nothing to do with him. If he was going to be a pawn, he had to have the awareness of a pawn. If he wanted to overturn the game or become a player, he needed strength. Otherwise, he would only be crushed to pieces.
There was definitely a problem with his father Uchiha Kagami's death. He certainly wouldn't believe Uchiha Shan's words.
As for whether it had anything to do with the Uchiha clan, he didn't know.
But he would definitely investigate these things thoroughly. None of these people would escape.
Right now, he was still very weak and could only maneuver between the various forces.
When the first ray of sunlight shone in the morning, Tatsumi woke up.
The morning sunlight, passing through the trees planted in front of his door, shone on his face through the gaps in the deep green leaves.
Tatsumi opened his hazy eyes. Then, he gently formed a wind release hand seal.
A breeze blew past, and he hummed comfortably.
This kind of training greatly improved chakra control.
After adding points, he was getting more and more adept at this kind of control.
He had first tested this in the classroom.
It was a happy afternoon, and on a whim, Tatsumi released a wind release ninjutsu in the classroom.
It was very cool—
And also very exciting.
And then… there was no then.
The entire class's desks were blown away by him.
Then he was punished by Uncle Nishimura to clean the school for a week.
However, constantly integrating ninjutsu into life did train chakra control.
Chakra wasn't just for fighting and war.
Tatsumi was completely awake now. But he still wrapped the blanket around himself and turned over to continue sleeping.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock."
A very rhythmic knock sounded outside the door.
After knocking three times, the person outside stopped.
Then, the person skillfully took out the key to Tatsumi's house from their bag.
After taking off their shoes in the entrance hall, they walked in.
Mikoto? Tatsumi thought. Occasionally, when Mikoto came early, she would come to his house to wake him up.
So Mikoto had the key to his door.
Thanks to Mikoto, Tatsumi was now rarely late.
At this time, there was a slight noise from the kitchen.
Tatsumi quickly put on his flamboyant Uchiha-branded windbreaker and walked out of the bedroom.
He saw Mikoto busy in the kitchen, wearing an apron.
This style… suddenly made it feel like the story had shifted from a hot-blooded ninja manga to a peaceful slice-of-life series.
"Mikoto, you're up really early." Tatsumi greeted.
"Yeah, I wasn't particularly sleepy this morning. Tatsumi, aren't you going to sleep a little longer? You're usually so slow, it's still early."
"Ah haha, I occasionally get up early too." Tatsumi scratched his head.
"That… Tatsumi…"
"Hmm? Mikoto, what's wrong?"
"Is there anything special you want to eat?"
"Hmm, anything is fine. Anyway, everything Mikoto makes is delicious."
"Is that so… I see."
"Actually—I tried making baked cookies last night, but they burned…"
"….."
After eating breakfast, Mikoto and Tatsumi set off for the Ninja Academy together.
It was rare for them to be so early. Tatsumi and Mikoto walked through the already busy streets.
On the way, they ran into Nawaki, who was walking from the Senju clan grounds.
"Yo, Tatsumi, good morning Mikoto." Nawaki greeted.
"Good morning, Nawaki." Mikoto responded.
"It's rare to see you come so early, Tatsumi." Nawaki said suspiciously.
"I occasionally get up early too, okay, you brat."
"You're the one who's always late on the first day of class. How dare you say such a thing?" Nawaki looked at him with disdain.
"I was helping an old lady cross the road, that's why I was late. As the future Hokage, what do you know?"
"Hmph, you better be prepared to be disciplined by my sister."
"...."
Mikoto smiled as she watched Tatsumi and Nawaki bicker.
At this moment, Tatsumi stared deeply at Nawaki, as if observing him.
"Hmm? Tatsumi, what's wrong? Why are you staring at my handsome face with such a lecherous look?"
Nawaki suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Could this guy be…
"It's not that… how should I put it… Nawaki, I always feel that you seem a little different this morning?"
"Eh! You noticed? Nothing's wrong. I'm definitely the same as before, not changed at all!"
Nawaki turned his gaze away, not daring to meet Tatsumi's probing eyes.
He was seen through so quickly?
But this was something he had to hide no matter what.
After all, the fact that he had just gotten a younger sister must be hidden well. He couldn't let a pervert like Tatsumi know. Even if he had to lie!
"What I mean by different from usual is that you seem very happy this morning. And it seems like you're very wary of me?"
Un—unbelievably perceptive!
Tatsumi was right. Nawaki was a hundred times more energetic than usual this morning.
The reason? Because his grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, had just told him that a younger sister from another village would be arriving in Konoha soon.
"Can you tell me, Nawaki? We can exchange information. Isn't that a basic ninja task?" Tatsumi tempted.
"Wh… what information?" Nawaki was a little tempted. Was there something he didn't know?
"Let me think… Just now, Mikoto and I passed by a store with a lot of beautiful older sisters wearing short skirts—"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"
"Tatsumi, we have to leave quickly!" Nawaki grabbed Tatsumi's wrist.
"They might be spies from an enemy village! For the safety of the village, we must conduct a thorough investigation… starting from a low angle!"
"...."
