Naruto: I have an attribute panel

Chapter 56 Uchiha's Efforts

Uchiha clan territory, Uchiha Yohei family.

The sound of kunai clashing echoed from the courtyard. Two figures collided and then darted about, searching for an opening. It turned out that Heiyo Hei was practicing sparring with his father, Uchiha Shoyu.

At this moment, Yohei's Sharingan had been activated. A tomoe in his scarlet eye was spinning rapidly due to the circulation of chakra. Yohei lunged at his father again, the sharp kunai flashing with a chilling light.

The two clashed again, and this time Uchiha Shoyu didn't hold back, easily sending Yohei flying with his Jonin strength. Before Yohei could even adjust his stance while airborne, a figure flashed beside him, and his father's large hand grabbed his collar, slamming him hard to the ground.

Yangping, lying on the ground, took a few deep breaths to calm his disordered breathing before standing up with his father's help.

"Now you know the difference between yourself and a Jonin, right?" Uchiha Shoyu said with a smile to Yohei. It seems that Yohei's personality is not without reason; you can tell by looking at his father.

"You think you can challenge a Jonin? Don't even mention Jonin, even a Special Jonin would be your death if you encountered one." Uchiha Shoyu still looked at Yohei with a smile, but the words he said greatly angered Yohei.

It turns out that when Yangping returned from this mission, he told his family how difficult it was, how he was either ambushed by Jonin or blocked by Special Jonin. In short, Yangping displayed extraordinary prowess, turning the tide of the mission and ultimately completing it perfectly.

If Captain Yamaguchi hadn't warned him about secrecy, he probably would have revealed even the information about the intelligence ninjas.

As Yangping's father, Xiangyou naturally couldn't stand by and watch Yangping become so arrogant. He gave him a loving dressing-down, mercilessly bringing Yangping down from his pedestal to reality, making him understand his true worth.

"The Matsushita Taichi you described, is he really just like you said? You're not exaggerating, are you?" The father and son, having finished their battle, knelt on the tatami mat, leisurely drinking tea.

"Of course, I exaggerated my own performance, but I told the truth about Taiyi's performance, without any falsehood." Yangping said confidently, his expression as if he was about to show his heart to his father.

"That's a really impressive kid. He'll probably become a renowned ninja in the future," Uchiha Shoyu exclaimed. "Be good to him; these are all connections you can make."

"We're good friends, don't make it sound like I made this friendship on purpose," Yang Ping said indignantly.

Xiangyou looked at Yangping deeply and said softly, "That's for the best."

A series of knocks came from the doorway.

Before his father could speak, Yangping jumped up and ran to open the door. Uchiha Shoyu, watching, shook his head, thinking, "I wonder who this child takes after?"

The door opened, and standing in the doorway was another Uchiha ninja. Yangping stared at him curiously: "Is there something you need?"

The newcomer scrutinized Yangping closely, as if confirming something. "You're Yangping, aren't you? My name is Uchiha Rin. I've come on the clan leader's orders to summon you for questioning."

"Me?" Yangping pointed to himself, puzzled.

Uchiha Rin nodded in confirmation.

Hearing the commotion, Uchiha Shoyu came out. After confirming Uchiha Rin's identity, he said to Yohei, "Since it's the clan leader's summons, Yohei, you should go. Remember, be polite!"

"Okay, Dad, I'm off then." With that, he followed Uchiha Rin to the clan leader's residence.

The current head of the Uchiha clan is Uchiha Fugaku, who will later become Itachi and Sasuke's father. When Yohei met Head Fugaku, he was arranging flowers in the living room, seemingly cultivating his mind and spirit.

"Greetings, Clan Chief." Yang Ping greeted first, his father's words still ringing in his ears—be polite.

"Hmm, Yohei, I heard you've awakened your Sharingan, right?" The Fugaku clan chief said with a gentle expression, though Yohei couldn't quite place that gentleness. The name "Ferocious-Eyed Fugaku" was quite infamous during World War II.

"Yes, clan leader, I awakened it without realizing it during a battle on the last mission." He then vividly recounted the whole story to the clan leader, even mentioning the embarrassing fact that he only discovered his Sharingan awakening after Taiichi reminded him.

Chief Fugaku was stunned. Before he could even ask, the child had already said everything that could and could not be said.

Composing himself, the Fugaku clan head said to Yohei, "The Sharingan has many unique uses after it is awakened, as well as some secret techniques specifically designed for use with the Sharingan. Your family may not have all of these. If you have any questions, you can take my token to the clan library to find the answers."

He then took out a warrant from the side and handed it to Yang Ping, instructing him, "You can only keep this warrant for 7 days. If you need it again after that, it will depend on your contribution to the family."

Yangping happily accepted the token, playing with it in his hands with great delight. With this, he could learn many unique ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan. It was just that the time was too short, and he didn't know how many ninjutsu he could learn.

"How's your relationship with your teammates?" Fugaku asked casually.

"That's great! We're brothers who've been through thick and thin together, the kind who'd go to great lengths for each other without hesitation." Hearing the clan chief's question, Yang Ping snapped out of his thoughts. He was once again boasting to the clan chief about how amazing his teammates were, how close they were to him, and how they had even helped him with water-treading training during the previous mission.

Fugaku listened quietly to the news. When he heard that Taichi had often trained with Tsunade and Jiraiya, his eyes lit up. This matched the information he had received.

Fugaku then exchanged pleasantries with Yohei for a while before having Uchiha Rin escort Yohei back home.

Watching Yohei leave, Fugaku was filled with mixed emotions. A serious crisis of trust had always existed between the clan and the village. Previously, Uchiha Kagami-senpai could mediate, but now that Kagami-senpai was dead, the clan urgently needed to find a new ninja like him.

The relationship between Yangping and Taiyi is the most important reference point.

Yangping, still dazed after leaving the clan chief's residence, wondered if the clan chief Fugaku was being too concerned about Taichi.

Back home, Yangping recounted everything he had seen and heard at the clan chief's house to his father, only to be met with a look of utter disbelief. Yangping was furious but helpless. In the end, all he received was the instruction to "get along well with your team members."

The Furukawa family.

After returning from her mission and resting at home, Saori reflected on her experience. Although she had done her best in everything during the mission, she felt she was still far behind Taichi and Yohei.

Saori confided her troubles to her father and received his advice: "Make the most of your abilities."

Frustrated, Saori racked her brains in her room, and finally realized something when she saw the rows of books on sealing techniques on the bookshelf: Taiichi and Yohei didn't know sealing techniques, which was exactly what she was good at.

Having figured things out, Saori has spent the last two days solidifying her knowledge of sealing techniques. She also took advantage of her father's home time to ask him for guidance on further sealing techniques.

Watching Saori diligently studying in her study, her parents outside smiled with satisfaction. Their child finding a sense of belonging within the team was the true essence of a good team. They were proud of Saori.
