Next, Uchiha Hikaru turned his attention to their adorable little Hinata.
Hinata's eyes were already sparkling with admiration. Although her expression was still shy, there was a clear yearning in her gazeâa desire for growth and a better future.
Uchiha Hikaru couldn't help but raise his hand and gently ruffle Hinata's hair.
Sasuke, watching from the side, rolled his eyes and grumbled internally.
Why is he so gentle with Hinata? When he ruffled my hair, he nearly knocked me out. My hair's still a mess and my head's still spinning...
"Hinata, your father told me you're not well-suited for the Gentle Fist style, right~?" Hikaru asked.
Hinata had been enjoying the warmth of his hand, but the moment he brought up the Gentle Fist, a look of sadness washed over her face.
"Yes... When Neji-nii was my age, he could already perform the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms."
"But I've only just learned the Eight Trigrams Sixteen Palms..."
Seeing her so disheartened, Uchiha Hikaru felt a wave of pity for her.
Such a poor girl... to be carrying so much pressure at her age...
But to him, this wasn't a problem. With Hinata's current personality, his new training methods might suit her perfectlyâand maybe even allow her to surpass expectations.
"Hinata," he asked gently, "can your Byakugan see farther than others your age?"
Hinata blinked, a little surprised by the question, but answered honestly.
"Yes. Compared to other children in the clan, I can see nearly a kilometer farther."
"But⊠how did you know that?"
Hikaru smiled and pointed at the stack of empty lunchboxes beside them.
"You eat a lot, but you don't gain any weight. That means your body is absorbing the energy somewhere."
"And since you're a Hyuga, it's obviousâyour Byakugan is the one absorbing the most energy. That's why your range is so far."
It was the first time Hinata had ever heard such an explanation. She had always been self-conscious about her big appetite.
Now, that shame was instantly replaced by a sense of pride. Her mood visibly brightened.
So it's not because I'm greedy⊠It's because my eyes are stronger than everyone else's~!
Then, filled with curiosity, she asked, "So⊠what kind of training will you give me, Teacher Hikaru?"
Uchiha Hikaru pulled out a bow and a bundle of arrows from a scroll and laid them in front of her.
"The greatest strengths of the Hyuga clan's Byakugan are its insight into the human body and its incredibly wide field of vision."
"But all this time, the clan has used that insight only for Gentle Fist, or for gathering intelligence."
"What a waste."
His expression turned serious and resolute.
"If your enemy is still far away, then why not use your superior vision and anatomical insight to shoot them with arrows before they even get close?"
"Isn't that far simpler?"
"Close-range Gentle Fist gives the enemy time to reactâand possibly counterattack. You experienced that during the earlier sparring."
"But long-range attacks are different. You can miss as many times as it takes, and as long as the enemy hasn't reached you, you're still safe."
"If the enemy makes even one mistake... they die."
Uchiha Hikaru painted a vivid picture of her future training. It was a direction Hyuga Hiashi had never considered.
Hinata didn't fully grasp the impact this would have on the clan, but instinctively, she felt itâthis path fit her quiet, reserved nature. A bow⊠long-range attacks⊠it felt right.
As she looked at Hikaru's confident profile, her heart began to flutter. It was a warm feelingâdifferent from the warmth she felt around her father.
"What about me? What about me?! Hikaru-ani, give me your training too!" Sasuke suddenly shouted, cutting through the moment.
Still admiring Hinata's cute expression, Hikaru was dragged back to reality by Sasuke's voice.
Without a word, he yanked Sasuke over, pressed the boy's head into his lap, and began scrubbing it vigorously.
Damn it, Sasuke!
"AhhâI can't breathe, you bastard, Hikaru!"
"You dare curse me?" Hikaru immediately sped up, his hands a blur, practically leaving afterimages.
"I'm sorry! I give up! Hikaru-ani, please!"
Hikaru finally released him after he begged for mercy.
Sasuke sat next to him, arms crossed, hair a wild mess. He pouted, but his voice betrayed his anticipation.
"Well, what about me? Their training plans all sound so coolâmine has to be even better, right?"
Hikaru looked at Sasuke's expectant face and the flicker of rebellion in his eyes. For a brief moment, memories from his previous life surfacedâSasuke with Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in mobile games... infinite firepower⊠broken mechanics⊠the dreaded purple dog... GhanaâŠ
But he shook it off. That was the past.
Now I'm even more broken than those characters were.
"I'm your older brother figure, aren't I? As a fellow Uchiha, I'm the best example for you to learn from."
Sasuke frowned slightly.
"But I don't know how strong you are, Hikaru-ani."
It was true. Aside from the few poor kids who had sparred with him, no one really knew Uchiha Hikaru's full strength.
Without a word, Hikaru activated his Sharinganâthree tomoe spinningâand met Sasuke's gaze, instantly dragging him into a genjutsu.
Sasuke's world shifted.
Suddenly, he was floating above vast mountains and forests.
High above a peak, he saw Hikaru standing.
A massive, roaring blue qilin surged from the stormy clouds above. Bolts of lightning crashed to the earth, vaporizing an entire section of forest in a deafening boom.
Before Sasuke could recover, hundreds of water dragons surged toward another peak, shattering it into rubble.
Then came waves of flame, raging hurricanes, and massive landslides.
Finally, a towering black giant appeared, a hundred meters tall with three pairs of wings unfurled behind it. It wore dark, menacing armor and held an enormous ninja blade, dozens of meters long.
The sword shattered into countless shards, cutting down everything in sight.
Darkness consumed the sky. The earth trembled.
The giant looked like a demon hellbent on destroying the world.
Then, Hikaru released the illusion.
Sasuke gasped for breath, heart pounding, the images still burned into his mind.
"Did you see it?" Hikaru asked, his voice calm and firm. "That⊠is the ultimate power of the Uchiha."
"And now, you're going to start at the beginning. Your training will begin with mastering every nature transformation."
"As a proper Uchiha, you must master all five basic chakra natures."
His words struck Sasuke like a divine command, etching themselves into his heart.
Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, a fire lit in his eyes.
That's right.
As an Uchiha⊠he was destined to be strong.
My name is Uchiha Sasuke. And I will become strongerâstrong enough to make the Uchiha Clan proud.
