"Fugaku-sama is right. Gekka, that kid, usually seems quiet and reserved. He shouldn't say such things. He might really be stimulated."
"And among the clan, besides Elder Setsuna, he seems to only be close to Mikoto and Hazuki. Maybe he really is lacking love…"
The clan members started to make excuses for Gekka, chattering away. Even Uchiha Hazuki, who was involved, stood up and nodded, indicating that it was true. Fugaku, of course, didn't take it to heart.
"Everyone, don't worry! I will contact Elder Setsuna and see how we can guide this little fellow, Gekka!
Today's meeting ends here! I hope everyone can come as promised next month for Mikoto's and my wedding!"
After Fugaku finished speaking, he stood up and led the way out, followed by everyone else in a file. It seemed the farce Gekka had caused was truly just a farce.
"Brat! Slow down! Wait for me!"
Uchiha Setsuna dashed through the Uchiha Compound streets like lightning, the flailing figure of Gekka in front of him rapidly closing in.
"I want special training! I want to become a qualified Ninja!"
Gekka suddenly turned around and said excitedly, because he had drawn "Uchiha Shuriken Jutsu Proficiency +80%."
[Host Shuriken Jutsu Proficiency 50% → 90%]
"So precise?" Gekka's gaze lingered on the personal attribute bar of the card album interface, looking at the increased proficiency percentage in throwing Jutsu and muttering to himself.
He hadn't expected there to be such a thing in the prize pool, and even the One-Tomoe Sharingan was brazenly there.
But in an instant, the excitement on Gekka's face was replaced by horror, because the old man, Setsuna, showed no sign of braking.
"Old man!!! What are you doing?"
Uchiha Gekka, overwhelmed with joy, suffered a tragic fate as he was publicly crashed into by the clan's Great Elder, leaving his nose somewhat caved in.
"You, don't think about doing anything rash!"
Uchiha Setsuna acted as if he hadn't heard, grabbing Gekka by his collar, his eyes wide like copper bells, shaking Gekka back and forth. It was clear he was genuinely worried that his only relative had been badly frightened.
"Cough cough! Old man, are you going to shake me to death?"
"Quick, let go!"
Gekka couldn't care less about his bleeding nose, trying to push Uchiha Setsuna away. But Uchiha Setsuna, despite his age and frailty, was still a Jonin. How could a mere ungraduated youngster like him push him?
Fortunately, Uchiha Setsuna immediately let go after hearing him, his gaze changing from urgent to gentle and loving.
"You, are you alright?"
"Nonsense! What could be wrong with me? Who said I was going to do anything rash?"
Gekka stumbled to his feet, giving Setsuna no good face as usual. But Setsuna, seeing this, not only wasn't angry but let out a long sigh of relief, revealing a benevolent smile.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good! What did you just say?"
Uchiha Setsuna didn't want to provoke his beloved grandson, Gekka. He only hoped Gekka could grow up safely, even if he became a good-for-nothing. But the next second, a flash of inspiration struck him, and before Gekka could speak, he slapped his forehead in annoyance.
"With all this fuss you made, I forgot to mention the favor I asked Fugaku to speak for you. Never mind, I'll go find him tonight! This time, even if I have to humble myself and beg him, I'll make sure you graduate successfully, don't you worry!"
Uchiha Setsuna frowned, his voice indifferent yet filled with boundless care.
"No need! I'll work hard to graduate on my own!"
Uchiha Gekka finished speaking, covering his nose, and turned to walk home. There were wooden dummies there where he could practice shuriken Jutsu, and it was private enough not to draw attention.
Over the years, as the grandson of an Uchiha Elder, it was easy for him to learn some basic Uchiha Ninjutsu. However, he hadn't awakened his Sharingan, and his Chakra affinities were only Yin and Fire, which were common Uchiha attributes. Moreover, perhaps due to his personality from his previous life, no matter how hard he tried to learn Chakra control and Ninja tool usage, his performance was always mediocre.
For example, with throwing Jutsu, his aim would always be off by a few inches, which was often fatal in actual combat. And his Three Body Jutsu Chakra control was always just a bit off. That's why, in the three years he bore the 'dead last' title, he never caused any emotional fluctuations in his classmates or teachers, because the one with the biggest emotional fluctuations was himself.
"Hey! Wait, Grandpa, Grandpa can give you some pointers!"
Seeing such a big change in Gekka, Uchiha Setsuna didn't dare to provoke him in any way. He could only let him be, and even tried to accommodate him, fearing that his grandson truly had some mental issues.
Moments later, in the Uchiha Elder's annex, Uchiha Gekka stood solemnly ten meters away from a row of wooden dummies, while Uchiha Setsuna behind him simply sat silently, rocking in a wicker chair.
Setsuna had seen this scene many times before. Without exception, his beloved grandson's shuriken throws would miss the target three out of four times, and the kunai would stick into the fence.
But the next moment, a series of loud thuds from the wooden stakes made him spit out the tea he hadn't yet swallowed.
"It really works! So, Mikoto's 80% throwing accuracy is superimposed on me, giving me 90% accuracy? This is too realistic."
Gekka ignored the shocked Uchiha Setsuna behind him, instead deeply gazing at his own hands.
That feeling, when he threw a series of shuriken just now, as if he had practiced a thousand or ten thousand times, what was it?
"Right! Muscle memory! So, the proficiency gained from the lottery is the highest reward."
Gekka eagerly looked at the prize pool on the green turntable. After discarding miscellaneous Ninja tools and explosive tags, he indeed saw "Uchiha Swordsmanship Proficiency +90% — Fugaku" and "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu Proficiency +80% — Uchiha Yashiro."
"Good heavens! Even if I don't have the Sharingan, mastering Ninja tools should give me at least basic self-defense capabilities, right?"
Uchiha Setsuna watched Gekka, who was looking straight ahead, as if admiring his own masterpiece.
[Shuriken +1 has been stored]
[Kunai +1 has been stored]
[Explosive Tag +1 has been stored]
[Soldier pills…]
…
[Uchiha Hazuki's personal underpants +1 has been stored]
[Uchiha Mikoto's personal bra +1 has been stored]
"Wait!"
"Wasn't something weird just stored???"
Gekka, who was fully focused on trying to draw a proficiency-boosting reward, suddenly felt something was off. He instinctively took out the stored items, and a pink object brazenly appeared before Uchiha Setsuna's eyes.
"You scoundrel! Why do you have a woman's personal undergarment?"
Uchiha Setsuna's old eyes widened as he scolded, then quickly shut his mouth. He was increasingly convinced that his beloved grandson had mental problems.
"What personal item? You're seeing things, old man!"
Gekka's face was grim, showing no blush or rapid heartbeat as he dropped Mikoto's bra at his feet. Then he walked towards the four wooden dummies and began to examine them carefully.
"Hmm?"
Gekka suddenly frowned, because he saw the picture of Uchiha Setsuna in the album starting to gradient from green to blue.K
"It seems this old man had a very big emotional fluctuation just now!"

"I want to learn Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
