After nightfall, Uchiha Ryuunen, Kurenai Yuhi, and Yugao Uzuki walked out of Yakiniku Q.
"I'm so full!"
Uchiha Ryuunen, rubbing his stomach, sighed contentedly. "Clocking in at work and eating meat after work—this is the life."
"Ryuunen-kun, you really ate too much!"
Uzuki Yugao, with her long, beautiful purple hair, covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Even though I've seen it before, you really do eat too much, Ryuunen-kun…" Kurenai Yuhi blinked her striking red eyes, sighing in disbelief.
Joking aside, every time they ate, Uchiha Ryuunen would devour food fit for twenty or thirty people.
Yet somehow, his physique remained flawless.
Both Kurenai and Yugao could only feel envy, jealousy, and a hint of resentment—after all, as women, they couldn't indulge as freely.
In truth, Kurenai and Yugao weren't particularly close, but they had one mutual friend—Uchiha Ryuunen. Over time, thanks to his influence, the three often dined together.
"I can't help it," Ryuunen said, raising an eyebrow. "I'm still growing."
At that, Kurenai and Yugao rolled their eyes in unison, sighing in exasperation.
"Alright, I'm heading home," Kurenai said.
Whoosh!
Before the two women could react, they felt a cool breeze brush their cheeks.
When they realized what had happened, the culprit—Uchiha Ryuunen—had already disappeared.
Under the dim night sky, Kurenai and Yugao stood frozen, their faces flushed with embarrassment and confusion.
Half an hour later,
In the Uchiha Clan district,
A private residence in the central area.
As a member of Konoha's Military Police Force and an orphan whose parents had died on a mission for the clan, Uchiha Ryuunen was entitled to his own residence in the Uchiha district and enjoyed various clan benefits.
"So comfortable…"
Fresh out of a hot bath, Ryuunen admired his reflection in the mirror. He smirked at the handsome man staring back at him, then wrapped himself in a white towel and settled onto the sofa with a cup of hot tea.
"System, sign in at the Uchiha clan."

Whitebeard's template unlocked: 40.12% → 40.34%
"A C-rank and a B-rank Fire Release technique?"
Glancing at the reward details, Uchiha Ryuunen smirked thoughtfully. "I'll take them all."
Buzz!
A strange energy enveloped him. Before he could even react, the knowledge of both fire techniques flooded his mind, making them second nature.
More importantly, his physical fitness had subtly improved again.
Though the latest sign-in only unlocked 0.22% of Whitebeard's template, every bit of progress made him stronger.
Moments later, he snapped back to reality and activated his Sensory Haki, ensuring that no one was spying on him.
Satisfied, he began evaluating his current situation.
For now, he had only shown others that he was dedicated to training in physical combat. That way, he neither appeared too extraordinary nor too insignificant.
To most people, especially within the Uchiha clan, a member without a Sharingan was considered weak.
That wasn't just the arrogance of Uchiha ninjas—it was a perception held by Konoha's higher-ups and the entire shinobi world.
Since he hadn't revealed his Sharingan yet, many assumed he still hadn't awakened it.
They believed that despite his physical prowess, his potential was limited.
But reality?
Buzz!
Without warning, Ryuunen's ordinary black eyes turned crimson.
One tomoe.
Two tomoe.
Three tomoe.
In an instant, his fully matured Sharingan activated.
While others thought he was on the first step, Uchiha Ryuunen had long since reached the tenth.
Not only had he awakened the Sharingan—he had already attained its Three Tomoe stage.
