"How about it? Do you feel any different?"
Seeing that Fuyu Shirou had successfully mastered the basic control of the 'Sharingan,' Uchiha Jūsai looked at him with excitement. As a teacher, he was even happier than Fuyu Shirou, his student, who had just awakened his Bloodline Limit.
As he spoke, he pulled out a bottle of Potion from his Ninja Tool Pouch and tossed it to Fuyu Shirou.
"?"
Fuyu Shirou looked at the unmarked bottle in his hand, displaying a puzzled expression. He truly did not know what was inside the bottle, but he understood that his teacher must have a specific reason for giving it to him.
"This is a special Potion developed by the family, specifically for those who have activated the 'Sharingan'! You can use it just like any other eye Potion, very convenient!"
"It helps to alleviate the fatigue and discomfort that comes from prolonged use of the 'eyes'! It's a medicine specifically designed to maintain the 'Sharingan'!"
The Uchiha Clan's Medical Ninjutsu is highly specialized! While they cannot match the Senju Clan in Medical Ninjutsu, they have made significant advancements in pharmacology, producing many effective secret medicines.
In ophthalmology, no one in Konoha, or even the entire Ninja World, can compare to the Uchiha Clan! They have a deep understanding of eye anatomy and diseases and have developed various eye surgeries and a wide range of ophthalmic medications. Whether for those who have activated their eyes or those who haven't, there are suitable options available.
The Potion Uchiha Jūsai now presented was one of the types suitable for those who have just activated their Sharingan.
He had prepared this before they set out, just in case, but he did not expect it to be used so soon.
"Thank you!"
Fuyu Shirou dripped two drops of the Potion onto his eyes. He could feel a gentle warmth spreading from the surface of his eyes, alleviating the fatigue he had experienced from the activation.
"The feeling is good! It's more effective than I imagined!"
After testing the effect, Fuyu Shirou praised it. The Potion was indeed more effective than he had anticipated.
He had spent a long time with the clan's medical ninja, Uchiha Mika, and knew about such medications in the clan. Initially, he thought that with the technological level of this world, eye medications would not be very effective, so he did not pay much attention to them.
But today, the first time he tried it, its effectiveness completely overturned his previous views!
[This is a world with supernatural powers, one cannot underestimate the natives!]
Just as Fuyu Shirou was reflecting on his overconfidence, Uchiha Jūsai spoke again.
"Fuyu Shirou! You have successfully awakened your Bloodline Limit and activated the clan's famous 'Sharingan.' At only eight years old, and with a double-tomoe Sharingan right from the start!
"I believe that when we return to the clan, you will receive significant attention, and the clan's resources will be tilted towards you!"
Indeed, in the Uchiha Clan, whether someone has activated their Sharingan can make a world of difference in their status within the clan.
For example, Fuyu Shirou, with his rare talent of activating the Sharingan at eight years old, will receive far more attention than the average clan member.
Even among those who have activated their Sharingan, his treatment will be far superior.
This is closely related to the age at which they activate their Sharingan and the degree of eye awakening.
The clan generally measures an Uchiha's potential by their capacity.
The more extraordinary an Uchiha's capacity, the earlier they activate their Sharingan, and the higher the degree of eye awakening.
"Teacher, I have a question!"
Seeing his teacher's enthusiastic attitude, Fuyu Shirou had a bad feeling and quickly asked.
"Go ahead! I will explain everything clearly!"
"After I activated my Sharingan this time, will I be drawn into the conflicts between the clan and the village?"
"Although I am still young, I do know a bit about these matters!"
Konoha's attitude is a factor he cannot ignore, especially with the Third Ninja World War about to break out. If he is seen as a threat, he could be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.
"This…"
"You have already noticed?"
Seeing his student ask this question, Uchiha Jūsai furrowed his brows and looked at Fuyu Shirou with surprise.
He did not expect that Fuyu Shirou, at such a young age, had already sensed the tension between the clan and the village.
"Yes, a few years ago, when Mika-san made the potion, I had a vague sense of it."
He did not deny it but used Uchiha Mika as a shield to avoid appearing too mature and causing unnecessary trouble.
"Although I have activated the Sharingan, I am still young!"
"If possible, I hope to have a few years of quiet cultivation. I am too young to endure much hardship."
In a few years, when he is older, he will be confident enough to face any challenges.
"This is a bit troublesome!"
Originally, he had high hopes for Fuyu Shirou, thinking it would take a few years for him to meet his requirements.
But the surprise came too suddenly. Fuyu Shirou had so easily awakened the Sharingan, which made him very excited.
However, he did not expect that Fuyu Shirou would be so perceptive, noticing the clan's and village's conflicts at such a young age and clearly stating his unwillingness to get involved.
But considering his Third Branch status…
The situation within the Uchiha Clan has changed significantly over time as they have been part of the village longer.
In the past, the clan was divided into three main branches, each with its own responsibilities.
They were generally divided by blood ties into different 'houses.'
But as they spent more time in Konoha, this division changed.
It became more about their attitudes towards the Hokage and his lineage, dividing them into different camps!
The First Branch, those who dislike the Hokage the most, are the most dissatisfied with the clan's current situation.
They advocate for a strong stance against the Hokage's actions, refusing to appear weak.
The Second Branch, in contrast to the First Branch, is entirely different.
They believe that for the village's peace and the clan's future, it is best to actively approach the Hokage.
This is beneficial for both the clan and the village.
This group is led by Uchiha Kagami and others who share his views.
However, with Uchiha Kagami's mysterious death, their influence in the clan has significantly declined in recent years.
Next is the Third Branch, where Fuyu Shirou belongs.
The members of the Third Branch are generally not considered the clan's elite. The proportion of those who have activated their Sharingan is much lower than in the other two branches.
But they make up nearly half of the clan's population.
The members of this branch have fewer demands. They live a stable life under the clan's protection, either doing small businesses or working in the security forces.
Life is full of vitality!
They have no interest in power struggles!
They are simple people, just wanting to live their own little lives!
They are not too concerned about the Will of Fire or the clan's glory!
Many excellent members who do not want to choose between the clan and the village have gathered in the Third Branch, seeing it as their safe haven.
They are often scolded by members of the other two branches!
Accused of lacking ambition, being indifferent to the Uchiha's glory and the Will of Fire, and lacking the awareness of being Konoha's founders.
Fuyu Shirou's statement just now was almost a reaffirmation of his Third Branch identity.
