"I'm happy to."
Kaito's answer directly suffocated Tekka.
"I'm happy to."
Kaito turned around and stared into Tekka's eyes, repeating it again for fear that he didn't hear clearly.
Even money can't buy my willingness. Is there a problem?
What are you trying to say?
Tekka was completely baffled.
With Kaito's skills, Tekka believed that even Hatake Kakashi wouldn't stand a chance against him.
If he joined the Police Force in the future, he would definitely shine!
Why~! Why do you want to degenerate~!
"Uncle Yashiro won't be happy." Uchiha Yo came into the living room second, took off her shoes, and sat down.
"Understandable." Kaito sat cross-legged, rested his chin on his hand, and struck a contemplative pose.
Uchiha Yo: "..."
She really couldn't learn Kaito's unhurried posture and calm demeanor.
"As long as Captain Fugaku isn't dissatisfied, it's fine." Kaito looked into the void and added another sentence.
"Father... naturally has no dissatisfaction."
Uchiha Yo muttered. In her impression, her father's attitude towards the clansmen was very gentle.
But Kaito knew very well about Uchiha Fugaku's actual weakness and tendency to compromise.
In the original work, he was willing to be killed by Itachi. No problem, he's my own son anyway; kill or cut as you please.
But... as the "Leader" of the clan, Uchiha Fugaku was not only willing to be killed by Itachi, but he also didn't stop Itachi, sitting by and watching Itachi exterminate all his Uchiha compatriots. This was... a bit much.
Slacking off? There's nothing you can't slack off on.
Even if Kaito said right now that he would immediately stop being a ninja, Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't say anything.
Because he, the clan leader, was the one who "really...! slacked off."
Kaito, who had anticipated everything, was so unscrupulous because he had pinpointed Uchiha Fugaku's weakness.
Uchiha Fugaku was not suitable to lead the Uchiha clan, and placing hope on him was completely undesirable.
As for the other Uchiha...
A mob electing an indecisive leader would ultimately only lead everyone to jump into the abyss together.
"Is this the improvement after awakening the Sharingan?!" Tekka thought left and right, and finally felt that Kaito's massive improvement in strength was brought about by opening the Sharingan.
"More or less." Kaito nodded, affirming Tekka's thought.
"Ten days later, at the beginning of next month, we'll go to the Hokage Building to fill out the application for the Chunin Exams."
Uchiha Yo stared at Kaito.
Since Kaito had proven his strength, the two had no reason to continue persuading him.
Uchiha Yashiro would certainly not be dissatisfied with this result either. Facts proved that Kaito was a supreme genius.
"Then I'm leaving."
Tekka stood up and glanced at Kaito again, seemingly still brooding over Kaito's intentions.
In the end, the reticent and inarticulate boy left first.
"You're not leaving?" Kaito rested his chin on his hand and looked at Uchiha Yo.
"I want to try again."
Uchiha Yo formed hand seals in front of Kaito.
She wanted to confirm if Kaito could really learn various Fire Release techniques at a glance.
"Understood."
Kaito suddenly thought.
"On the surface, you want to test me, but actually, you care about me?"
Tsundere, huh.
"Hah? How, how is that possible?!"
Uchiha Yo's face turned slightly red, refusing to admit it.
Her originally large, pitch-black eyes became watery, and her fair cheeks flushed red, looking very alluring.
Yes, like this.
Kaito smiled.
Giving up instantly would be too boring.
There must be pulling, struggling... this is the tune...
Although tsundere had fallen out of the meta for more than a decade... well, this look wasn't bad either.
After all, in this generation without scientific ninja tools, it could be treated as the last century. So, it was perfectly normal for some past popular elements to exist in the world.
In the end, amidst Uchiha Yo's tsundere act, Kaito learned all the Uchiha clan's "D-rank ~ C-rank" Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu inheritances at a glance...
...
Time flew.
The agreed day arrived soon.
In the past ten days, no one came to disturb him.
Kaito pushed open the door and glanced at the sunlight outside.
The light became softer, proving that the weather outside had become even colder.
"It seems New Year is coming soon..."
His athletic physique had taken shape.
His skin was slightly pale.
Due to the lack of sunlight.
Kaito was shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts, his perfectly proportioned figure making others envious.
Every muscle and every nerve possessed excellent explosive power.
Ten days, combined with perfect talent, was enough for Kaito to raise his strength to the extreme limit elevated by the "Left Eye: Single One-Tomoe Sharingan."
Dressed, he stepped out of his house.
The streets of the Uchiha clan hadn't changed compared to the past.
Walking along the alleyways, avoiding the crowds, Kaito enjoyed the solitude and felt the loneliness, finally arriving at the door of Uchiha Fugaku's house.
At a glance, Tekka hadn't arrived.
He must have come too early.
"Aunt Mikoto."
Pushing the door open, he saw the beautiful woman hanging clothes.
"I'm here to find Yo."
"Oh, Kaito. Yo is in her room; she should be out in a while..."
Uchiha Mikoto put down the clothes, her dignified and gentle temperament making people feel very comfortable.
"Aunt Mikoto, please go ahead with your work. I'll just go find Yo." Scanning her slender figure under the conservative clothes without a trace, Kaito turned and walked towards the house.
Corridor.
Taking off his shoes, Kaito walked slowly.
Arriving at Uchiha Yo's room, he found the door wasn't closed.
Kaito stepped inside.
Then, he saw a rather harmonious scene.
Uchiha Yo... was changing her top.
"~~~."
Kaito raised his eyebrows, meeting Uchiha Yo's gaze as she looked over.
I came at a bad time.
A second later, the stunned Uchiha Yo's face turned bright red, right down to the roots of her ears.
An expression beyond indifference, tsundere, or smiling...
Also a look Kaito had never seen before.
Blushing with shame and extremely annoyed, Uchiha Yo threw things at him.
Kaito avoided the brunt of the attack, easily dodging using "Lightning Reflex" and "Thunder Transfer," and retreated.
Staring at the clouds in the sky, a smile hung on the corner of Kaito's mouth as he recalled Uchiha Yo's shy and angry expression.
Very... cute.
It makes one want to bully her ruthlessly.
I didn't see anything.
Oh wait.
"I saw everything!" Kaito called out.
