Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

When Uchiha Sora returned to the clan's territory, it was already 8 PM.

The tribal area was deserted, with only a handful of guards patrolling the streets.

Uchiha Sora was tired after a long day and wanted to go home to rest, but he was stopped halfway there.

The person he met was dressed in standard Uchiha clan attire, with spiky hair and sharp, eagle-like eyes. He recognized this clansman: the Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan, a member of the fierce fighting faction within the Uchiha clan.

"Ku, the clan head needs to speak with you," said Uchiha Yatsuho.

Uchiha Sora looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, somewhat helplessly, "At this hour?"

"Yes, the clansmen all know about your joining the Anbu." Uchiha Hachimoku's eyes held a complex expression.

Two years ago, Uchiha Sora's summoning jutsu made him unmatched among his peers in the clan, so Uchiha Fugaku and the higher-ups began to pay attention to this boy, and even the relationship with Uchiha Kagami's lineage improved a lot.

Although the fact that the Sharingan has not yet awakened is a disappointment to the higher-ups, their unparalleled strength still satisfies them.

Therefore, they received the news on the very day Uchiha Sora joined the Anbu.

At this moment, their feelings were complicated. Many of the Uchiha's high-ranking members were dissatisfied with the current situation of the Uchiha, and there were even vague calls for reform.

At this critical juncture, Uchiha Sora joined the Anbu organization personally controlled by Hiruzen Sarutobi, fearing that Uchiha Sora would turn from the expected next "Uchiha Fugaku" into the next "Uchiha Kagami".

Uchiha Sora was incredibly intelligent; he immediately guessed the connection and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go now. Will you come with me?"

Uchiha Yatsuho shook his head and said, "You can go." With that, he disappeared into the night.

Uchiha Sora thought for a moment, bought some small items, and then headed to the clan head's residence.

……

Fugaku Uchiha's residence

Uchiha Sora knocked on the silent night sky, and soon someone opened the door from inside—a graceful middle-aged woman.

"Auntie, I'm here," Uchiha Sora greeted him.

Mikoto Uchiha nodded and said apologetically, "Sora, I'm sorry to trouble you to come so late. I was originally planning to ask you to come tomorrow morning, but Fugaku didn't agree."

"It's alright, Auntie. I just happen to have nothing else to do."

Led by Mikoto, Uchiha Sora entered the house. In the living room, a middle-aged man was sitting on a futon on the floor. The warm light on his sallow face gave him an imposing and dignified air.

"Where's Itachi? I can't find the little guy." Uchiha Sora looked around, puzzled. Usually when he came here, the three-year-old Itachi was very active.

"Itachi is asleep," Mikoto explained. "He was too tired from playing today."

"I see." Uchiha Sora sighed, took a handful of candy from his pocket, and placed it on the table. "Then Itachi will have to eat these candies tomorrow."

"You always bring Itachi candy every time you come," Mikoto scolded. "By the time you get to it, Itachi will be so spoiled he'll get cavities."

Uchiha Sora shrugged. "To make life bearable, you always have to eat something sweet."

"Fine, fine, you're just a kid yourself." Mikoto muttered, exasperated. "Alright, you guys chat, I won't bother you."

With that, Mikoto went into the bedroom.

Mikoto left, leaving only Uchiha Sora and Uchiha Fugaku in the living room.

To be honest, looking at Uchiha Fugaku's serious and unsmiling appearance, Uchiha Sora felt his heart pounding and had a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he were meeting his teacher.

"Clan leader," Uchiha Sora greeted respectfully.

Fugaku nodded slightly and pointed to the opposite side of the tea table. "Sit."

Uchiha Sora sat obediently cross-legged opposite Fugaku, who poured him a cup of tea. The rich aroma of tea filled the air.

Uchiha Sora said, "If he weren't the clan leader, besides his formidable strength, his tea-making skills would be far superior to his cheap old man's."

"Sora, how was your first day in the Anbu?" Fugaku asked.

If Uchiha Sora were an adult, Fugaku would definitely have to go through the proper procedures, have a heart-to-heart talk, and then get to the point. But Uchiha Sora is only a twelve-year-old boy, so Fugaku went straight to the point.

"It's alright, but I'm quite tired." Uchiha Sora thought for a moment and said truthfully, "I killed a reconnaissance ninja from an enemy country."

He simply said one thing; after all, he was now a member of the Dark Guard, and he certainly couldn't casually reveal the specifics of his mission.

Fortunately, Fugaku didn't intend to delve into the matter further. He sipped his tea, his eyes sharp and unwavering as he stared intently at Uchiha Sora.

"Ku, among this generation, you are the only one in the Uchiha clan with extraordinary talent. Do you even remember what you bear?"

"I remember the revival of the Uchiha clan that I bear. Rest assured, clan leader, I will not become like my grandfather. My heart will always be with the Uchiha." Uchiha Sora spoke calmly, displaying a maturity beyond his years, which was something Fugaku valued.

"Sooner or later, the title of Hokage will also belong to the top Uchiha clan member," he added.

"It's good that you have this intention." Fugaku nodded. "Because you suddenly joined the Anbu, it caused some panic in the clan. I called you here today to calm those people down."

"I understand." Uchiha Sora nodded slightly. The fear of his clansmen was simply because his heart belonged to Sarutobi Hiruzen. After all, he was a descendant of Uchiha Kagami. In the eyes of the war faction, Uchiha Kagami was a traitor to the Uchiha clan.

"By the way, what Momonosuke said, you seem to have created your own ninjutsu?" Fugaku looked at Uchiha Sora with a half-smile.

Uchiha Sora thought to himself that his cheapskate father must have been unable to resist running to the clan leader to show off. What a childish guy.

"Yes, I did create a move called Uchiha Glory, a ninjutsu unique to the Uchiha clan. I'll write it down when I have time, and the clan leader can learn it if he's interested."

Ever since the system rewarded him with the glory of the Uchiha clan, his understanding of this ninjutsu technique has reached its pinnacle.

In principle, anyone who possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan can learn this technique.

If we consider ninjutsu rankings, this move should be at least an S-rank ninjutsu.

"Huh? I'll learn?" Fugaku was taken aback. He had only asked casually, but he didn't expect to get this kind of answer.

"Well, the clan leader will find out then." Uchiha Sora smiled mysteriously, without explaining, thinking to himself, "I'll give you a big surprise later."

Speaking of the glory of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Sora suddenly remembered something.

Strictly speaking, this ninjutsu requires the Mangekyou Sharingan, Fire Release, and swordsmanship combined. When he killed the Sand Village, he used a tree branch instead of a sword, which greatly reduced its power.

In other words, he currently lacks a suitable weapon.

Thinking of this, his gaze fell on Uchiha Fugaku in front of him, and he revealed a fawning smile.

"Um, clan leader, could we pick out a suitable weapon from our Uchiha clan's treasure vault?"

"Huh? What weapon?"

"The best sword is the Kusanagi sword."
