Aomi and Shisui led the curious Nohara Rin through the Uchiha Clan Land.
As an aspiring medical ninja, Nohara Rin couldn't resist the temptation to learn the Mystical Palm Jutsu.
At the same time, Rin also had the desire to become friends with Aomi.
A handsome, youthful, wealthy, generous, gentle, and powerful friend, who wouldn't want that?
"As expected of the Uchiha Clan..."
Like a sightseeing tourist, Nohara Rin found the distinctive architecture and noble atmosphere of the Uchiha Clan captivating, everything she saw felt fascinating.
However, the Uchiha Clan Land, comparable to a scenic spot with its ancient charm, is a rarely visited place in Konoha.
This is closely related to the Uchiha Clan's responsibility for the Konoha Security Department and their current reputation in Konoha.
This has led to many Konoha ninjas harboring an inexplicable fear and considerable misunderstanding of the Uchiha Clan, despite them being a core ninja clan in Konoha's founding...
To some extent, the positioning of the Uchiha Clan and Shimura Danzo in Konoha are quite similar.
They both appear to have high status, but it doesn't match the good reputation needed to become Hokage or climb higher, essentially turning into tools without hope of becoming the wielder.
"If you like it, you're welcome to come over when you're free, usually, it's just Shisui and me at home."
Aomi ruffled Shisui's hair and said sentimentally, "Although our house is quite big, it still feels rather empty with just the two of us, don't you think so, Shisui?"
"Not at all, it's just fine with you and me at home, brother!" Shisui puffed up his cheeks, looking like a little dumpling.
This little guy openly expressed his strong displeasure at Nohara Rin interrupting his perfect weekend alone with his brother.
"Ouch, brother, you're hitting me..."
"You need to learn to make friends, Shisui, I can't be with you forever," Aomi said with a smile.
Nohara Rin covered her mouth and laughed softly; as an only child, she found Aomi and Shisui's interaction very interesting, "The bond between you brothers is really great..."
Shisui snorted, dismissing Aomi's words.
Why can't his brother be with him forever? He wants it to be forever!
The three made a noisy commotion, from a distance, they seemed just like a harmonious family.
At this time, gazes from three directions focused on Aomi and the others.
On one side, there were Uchiha Hachida, Uchiha Inabi, and Tekka.
These elite Uchiha Jonin with three tomoe had the responsibility of guarding the clan land, so they naturally scrutinized Nohara Rin, an outsider, when they saw her.
"Big brother Hachida, this troublesome kid actually brought an outsider in, let's use this as an excuse to teach him a lesson, it's also for you..."
Uchiha Tekka, a staunch ally of Uchiha Hachida and one of the hawkish members of the Uchiha Clan.
After being gently reprimanded by Aomi, Uchiha Hachida, suppressing his inner shame, vaguely said that he had defeated Aomi, but still suffered some loss, ultimately completing the task successfully.
In conversations among friends, Uchiha Hachida couldn't help but express admiration for Aomi, leading his friends Inabi and Tekka to mistakenly believe that Aomi caused significant trouble for Uchiha Hachida, merely unmentioned due to pride.
After Aomi became famous among the Uchiha for his Water Release, the hawkish Uchiha members were dissatisfied with him, and Uchiha Setsuna fanned the flames even more.
Uchiha Tekka eagerly exchanged a glance with Uchiha Inabi, and the two shared a sneering smile.
But when Uchiha Hachida saw their expressions, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly and forcefully clamped down on Tekka and Inabi's shoulders.
"Tekka, Inabi, can I trust you?" Uchiha Hachida asked sternly, his expression extremely serious.
"What are you talking about, without your help Takka, and Inabi's parents died early, and our families were poor, we wouldn't have even become ninjas."
"For years, Inabi and I have considered you our elder brother."
Uchiha Tekka looked puzzledly at the serious Uchiha Hachida but still responded earnestly.
Uchiha Inabi nodded, "Exactly, Brother Hachida."
"Alright, then listen to me, absolutely do not let Aomi feel any hostility from the clan."
Uchiha Hachida's hands on their shoulders were still applying pressure, "I'll explain why later at my place..."
"For now, just remember this: if you let Aomi become dissatisfied with the clan, both you two and I will become unforgivable sinners of the Uchiha Clan!"
By the end, Uchiha Hachida's eyes even flashed with a hint of killing intent!
Uchiha Tekka and Inabi were both shocked, but seeing the tomoe spinning in Uchiha Hachida's eyes, they swallowed and quickly nodded.
Meanwhile.
Training with Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Obito, with a head full of sweat, stared blankly at Nohara Rin's back in the distance.
"Rin..."
Uchiha Obito involuntarily called out, watching Nohara Rin's back intently, but she never turned around, continuing to walk ahead with Aomi and Shisui while laughing and talking.
Uchiha Setsuna smiled as he watched this scene, seemingly talking to himself but also to Obito:
"The Ninja World, huh, is such a place where ninjas without strength can only watch as the things they desire are taken away."
"The position of Hokage is like this, the woman you love is like this, everything is like this..."
"If you had defeated Uchiha Aomi that day, would you be walking with her now?"
"So, train hard, Obito. When your shoulders can bear the weight of the clan, you'll naturally gain what you want."
Uchiha Obito hardened his gaze, silently nodding, "Setsuna Elder, let's continue training. I will reclaim everything that is mine!"
But Uchiha Obito forgot.
The young Nohara Rin was just an enthusiastic ordinary girl, helping Uchiha Obito because she wanted to encourage every classmate she could.
Her feelings for Uchiha Obito were far from love.
But Uchiha Obito, encouraged by her, was like a beggar who was gifted coins yet dissatisfied, wanting to possess the kind heart, forgetting that he had no right to do so.
The final gaze on Aomi and the others came from Zetsu.
Or rather, it should be referred to as "Uchiha Rin."
"Interesting, Aomi kid, are you another anomaly like Uchiha Kagami, or a deeply hidden monster..."
"Uchiha Obito is indeed a good pawn, but Uchiha Setsuna's inept tactics cannot truly awaken the darkness in his heart."
"He must first experience the beauty of the world, then have it torn away in the most brutal way to feel despair..."
Uchiha Rin spoke cruel words yet smiled sweetly.
From an onlooker's perspective, her smile was even more beautiful than Nohara Rin's...
In an unknown corner.
The wheels of destiny in the Ninja World had already begun to turn quietly, unstoppable.
