The clansmen of the Uchiha Clan only knew that Itachi was a genius who awakened the Two Tomoe Sharingan at a young age.
Due to Itachi's intentional concealment, the clansmen still didn't know he had awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan. Currently, only Makoto knew about this.
Makoto was even more outrageous, awakening the One Tomoe Sharingan at two and a half years old. His talent could absolutely be called monstrous. His personality was precocious, unlike a child, and his intelligence rivaled that of the Nara Clan.
If Makoto hadn't always been 'different' since infancy, they would probably suspect something was wrong and tie him up for a thorough interrogation with Genjutsu.
Thinking of this, Yashiro gritted his teeth and took half a step forward, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times, his face serious.
"In my opinion, to revitalize the clan, the Clan Head should have more children, add a few more genius sprouts to our Uchiha Clan..."
Fugaku, who had been busy acting as the dedicated mediator between the hawks and doves from the head seat, nearly choked on his own saliva upon hearing this. His brows instantly knitted into knots.
Yashiro was his most loyal subordinate, and his desire to protect the clan was extremely fervent. Fugaku really couldn't refuse this suggestion.
He subconsciously supported his lower back, a look of inadequacy appearing on his face. His perpetually tense face even showed a trace of embarrassment...
Yashiro, seeing Fugaku like this, very tactfully closed his mouth, but the expectation in his eyes didn't diminish in the slightest.
But since the Warring States Period, the Uchiha Clan had been prolific in producing 'great intelligences'.
"The Clan Head's family also has Sasuke! Three prodigies in one family!!"
"Yes, Sasuke-sama must be a genius too!"
The discussion surged towards Sasuke like a tidal wave. If he were present, his little tail would probably be pointing to the sky.
Even the Uchiha Clan's Great Elder stroked his beard in contemplation for a moment, then tapped his cane: "Call Uchiha Sasuke to attend the clan meeting. Let the clansmen see."
If the family had a few more prodigies like Makoto, Shisui, and Itachi, why worry about the family not 'prospering'?
Fugaku, looking at the clansmen's excited expressions, recalled Sasuke's usual performance.
Sasuke's talent wasn't bad, and he was even quite outstanding within the clan. But compared to Makoto and Itachi, he seemed a bit ordinary.
He sighed inwardly but didn't refuse.
Otherwise, the clan would keep urging him to have more children, which was extremely inappropriate. So, he could only let Sasuke suffer a bit. He wouldn't bear the blame himself, and this was all to train Sasuke.
Soon, Sasuke received the clansmen's notification at home.
After repeatedly confirming with the clansman who came to inform him, making sure Makoto wasn't called, he immediately puffed out his chest, his little chin lifted high enough to pierce the sky, his small hands clenched into fists.
His tsundere little face was full of pride, 'So what if Makoto awakened his Sharingan early? The clansmen ultimately valued me more!'
Sasuke could deduce this from being invited to the clan meeting.
Makoto often called him stupid, but he wasn't stupid at all… he was very smart.
He didn't know that Makoto simply couldn't be bothered to attend the clan meeting and waste words with them, having refused for a long time before successfully declining.
Sasuke ran to Makoto's room door on his short legs and saw the door was tightly closed.
He lifted his chin very tsunderely, let out a light hum in his childish voice, and didn't knock, afraid of disturbing Makoto's rest.
After a while, he twisted his body and moved towards the clan meeting venue, his small feet making 'tap tap' sounds on the corridor, thinking he would properly show off to Makoto after returning.
Makoto in the room wasn't sleeping but was busy playing with Flying Thunder God Technique, so he temporarily ignored Sasuke. The One Tomoe Sharingan rotated halfway in his pupils.
He casually threw the kunai engraved with the Succubus Mark, stirring a slight breeze. Looking at this kunai with the Succubus Mark, a light smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
The moment the kunai was about to hit the ground, a faint spatial fluctuation rippled out like water. His figure disappeared from the spot and appeared beside the kunai.
Compared to attending a clan meeting that couldn't possibly yield any results, obviously playing with Flying Thunder God Technique was more interesting.
It's just that his Chakra was a bit low now, making using Flying Thunder God quite strenuous. But short-distance teleportation was enough to grind proficiency.
…
The moment Sasuke stepped into the clan meeting's venue, before he could even find a place to sit, he was stunned by a question thrown directly at him...
Tekka, seeing Sasuke instantly, boomed like thunder, directly using his ultimate move in his face.
"Sasuke-sama, have you awakened your Sharingan?"
Hearing this, the joy on Sasuke's face instantly froze. His little face immediately turned red, like an apple baked in the sun all day, even his ears burning.
Under the gaze of countless clansmen present, Sasuke wished he could dig a hole and escape this place right now.
"Awak... awakened or not?" Tekka was still pressing, his tone carrying a bit of dullness, his eyes staring straight. The clansmen, including the Uchiha Clan's Great Elder, were all quite concerned about this question.
"Maybe awakened, but if awakened, it's not really possible." Sasuke's voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum. The intense shame was already making his left and right brains fight each other. His small hands nervously twisted the hem of his clothes.
Inabi beside him immediately chimed in, his voice carrying a hint of teasing: "So, did you awaken it or not?"
"Then let me ask you!" Sasuke suddenly raised his voice, like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, his neck stiffening. Stimulated by intense shame, his left and right brains began rapidly battling each other, his head becoming pointy.
"Then let me ask you, are you male or female?"
"Then let me ask you, how old were you when you awakened your Sharingan?"
"…"
The surrounding clansmen, seeing Sasuke like this, stifled their laughter until their shoulders shook. Even Fugaku's mouth twitched, and he barely managed not to laugh out loud.
The Uchiha Clan's Great Elder looked at the babbling Sasuke, a trace of helplessness flashing in his turbid eyes. He said nothing.
'Even if he was a fool, he was still a member of our Uchiha Clan.' Great Elder waved his hand, signaling Fugaku to take Sasuke back. Then he tapped his cane again, his voice carrying gravity:
"Teach Makoto well. That child is the future of the Uchiha, he has the makings of a Hokage!"
After hearing this, Sasuke was completely stunned.
Fugaku nodded slightly. He also planned to go back and properly 'teach' Makoto.
'That kid had nearly pierced the sky today. If he wasn't properly educated now, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause in the future...'
