It was evening again.
Uchiha Tōshirō was in the living room, reading a hefty book about the origins of Sealing Techniques. At that moment, Uchiha Mika's voice came from outside the house.
"Place the item right here, lay this large Stone Slab down!"
Uchiha Tōshirō, hearing the voice, looked up. Uchiha Mika was directing two men to place a massive Stone Slab, about five feet in diameter, in a corner of the yard. Beside it were prepared Cement, a large Stone Ball, and a few smaller Stone Slabs, each about two feet square. Judging by their heavy breathing, the load was quite heavy.
"The large Stone Slab must be placed perfectly level, with no tilt at all..."
"Don't worry, Miss Mika! We will definitely install the Stone Slab according to your requirements!" A middle-aged man standing beside the two men patted his chest, guaranteeing it.
The massive Stone Slab was oddly shaped, one side smooth like a mirror, the other rough. Both sides had a raised edge, like the ridges on a coin.
The two men were now struggling to place the Stone Slab on a foundation of Cement, lime, and sand.
"Hey! Tōshirō has come out too, you've grown so much already!" The middle-aged man smiled and greeted him.
Uchiha Tōshirō didn't recognize him; with thousands of clan members, he couldn't possibly know everyone. However, to avoid awkwardness, he nodded and smiled in greeting.
"This is Uncle Tetsuhei, an old acquaintance of your father. He even attended your full moon celebration! If you ever need to customize any equipment, you can find him!" Uchiha Mika, seeing that he hadn't spoken, immediately understood and introduced him with a smile.
"Uncle Tetsuhei, hello!" Uchiha Tōshirō greeted politely.
"I remember when you were just a tiny baby at your full moon celebration. I hear you've already started training to become a ninja? You must grow up to be a powerful ninja, bringing glory to the Uchiha Clan..."
Uchiha Tetsuhei was a retired chūnin from the Uchiha Clan. He had earned many merits during the Second Shinobi World War but retired due to injuries. His greatest regret was never activating the clan's bloodline limit, the Sharingan.
He was mainly responsible for crafting ninja equipment and internal construction projects within the clan.
On the edge of the clan's territory, he had his own shop, where he and other Uchiha clan members sold daily necessities and ninja equipment to make a living.
He was also a member of Uchiha Tōshirō's branch of the clan...
According to clan traditions, those who hadn't activated the Sharingan were considered part of the Branch Family.
Within the Uchiha Clan, there were Main Family and Branch Family distinctions, with a simple and brutal criterion: those who had activated the Sharingan were part of the Main Family, while those who hadn't were Branch Family.
Unlike the Hyūga Clan, which treated Branch Family members as servants, the Uchiha Clan, known as the
