Chapter 5: Enrollment
At the Uchiha Clan meeting three days later, Yashiro Uchiha knelt on the ground with a blank expression on his face, but in his heart, he had already cursed Shiratori seven times.
He had intended to use this regular clan meeting to formally propose that Shiratori return to the Uchiha Clan, but he hadn't expected that three days ago, that kid had beaten Setsuna Uchiha's grandson to the point he was sent into the hospital…
Isn't he just causing trouble?!
Your unreliable father was expelled from the family by Elder Setsuna, and now you beat up his grandson!
What? You think my task is too easy, so you decided to increase the intensity for me?
At this time, the clan meeting's agenda has officially entered the next item…
Itachi Uchiha, the son of Clan head Fugaku, is born. His name will be officially written into the family clan tree, and he will be given the status of junior clan head under the witness of the entire clan.
Yashiro gritted his teeth and did it!
He has contacted all the people with whom he needs cooperation. The arrow is on the string and has to be shot!
Today, I, Yashiro Uchiha, am going to commit insubordination and confront Setsuna Uchiha head-on!
Then…
"I think that Shiratori is a good boy. His father's mistakes should not affect him… Restore his surname Uchiha and include it in the family clan tree together with Itachi's name."
Setsuna Uchiha made the final decision without any intention of discussing it with anyone else.
He just decided the matter directly and forcefully.
Yashiro's butt, which had just been raised, fell back down. Although he looked calm, his mind was already a mess…
Isn't that right? Is there something wrong with the plot? I haven't done anything yet!
Setsuna's old voice continued: "Also… I like this kid very much and have decided to accept him as my apprentice."
One stone can cause a thousand ripples.
With Shiratori's talent, he really needs an excellent teacher to teach him, and everyone agrees on this. But Setsuna's identity… It is the powerful elder of the Uchiha Clan who has the final say. It can be said that he is the sky of the Uchiha Clan now.
If Shiratori is accepted as a disciple by Setsuna… Then Shiratori's identity will no longer be just that of an ordinary member of the clan.
Elder Setsuna's small decision is quite interesting…
Whispers suddenly broke out in the Naka Shrine. The elders of the clan present had different expressions.
Clan head Fugaku couldn't help but glance at Setsuna, who was sitting next to him in the main seat.
The one who reacted the least was Yashiro—because he hadn't even figured out the previous thing!
Is Teimu not his biological grandson?
Did Shiratori's father send money?
That's not right. Their family is so poor that they have to beg for food. Where did he get the money?
...…
Shiratori's life is peaceful and fulfilling.
Ever since he started attending Setsuna's one-on-one teaching class on time every afternoon, the door to a new world seemed to have been opened for him!
So, Ninjutsu can be used like this? So, there are so many techniques for making hand seals? So, there are so many details for refining Chakra? So the nature of Chakra could be changed like this? So…
He is like Luffy, who was taught by teacher Rayleigh for two years and was beaten by teacher Kaido for the first time.
He felt that his Chakra Network were open.
Shiratori's grandfather would come to see him from time to time. After knowing that he had officially returned to the Uchiha Clan and formally studied with Setsuna, he did not feel dissatisfied and continued to teach him the Senju's training methods.
It is worth mentioning that although they knew they were teaching the same person, Setsuna Uchiha and Takiichi Senju had never met each other. It seemed that in their eyes, the other party was complete shit, and even hearing the other's name would make them feel disgusted…
Ten months passed in a flash.
Today is the day that Shiratori enters the Academy.
"Is that brat still not here? Elder Setsuna is already here!"
"I'm Here."
Shiratori came down from the second floor of the ramen shop with a small school bag on his back and immediately saw Setsuna Uchiha standing at the door.
On the first day of school, Setsuna said he would personally take him to the Academy.
"Mr. Setsuna, thank you for your concern." Toyotaka smiled flatteringly, grabbed Shiratori's school bag, and dragged him to Setsuna's side.
Setsuna ignored him, took Shiratori's hand, and walked out of the ramen shop.
"Hey, old man, you're going in the wrong direction; the academy is over there!"
"I know!"
"You know, but you're still going this way?"
"Shut up and stop talking nonsense! Can't you digest the food if you eat too much?"
Setsuna led Shiratori into the Uchiha territory.
The clansmen who woke up early looked at the combination of the old and the young with surprised expressions, and then they smiled and saluted to Setsuna and greeted Shiratori warmly.
After passing through the Uchiha Clan's territory, the two turned into the center of Konoha. They were like an ordinary grandfather and grandson, strolling casually on the bustling street.
Ordinary people don't know Setsuna, but the members of the major ninja clans, including the Anbu spies hidden in the crowd, cannot fail to know him!
He believes that this news will soon spread to various families and even to the Hokage.
Shiratori suddenly understood the old man's intention.
This is… A strong declaration from Setsuna Uchiha.
In the past, Shiratori had no surname; just like the grass on the street, no one cared about him.
But after entering the Academy, his talent will surely make a big splash, and his name will appear on the desks of all Konoha's high-ranking officials, including that insidious and disgusting maggot in the sewer - Danzo.
By doing this, Setsuna intends to tell everyone: This child is a member of the Uchiha clan and is the younger generation that I am most optimistic about and love the most.
If anyone has any bad intentions, they should first weigh themselves up and see if they are qualified!
In fact, Shiratori missed something.
If it was just an announcement to the Konoha high-level officials, then they could just stroll around the center of the village. Why did they go to the Uchiha Clan's territory first?
In fact, the reason is very simple. The Uchiha Clan is not a monolithic entity, and it is naturally not free from all the intrigues and conspiracies that exist in other big families.
Setsuna was telling the clan…
Shiratori was a junior he recognized as a legitimate and undisputed Uchiha. From now on, no one was allowed to make a fuss about his background.
Setsuna achieved his goal, but Shiratori was in trouble because he was… Late.
Konoha Village Ninja Academy.
Boom!
"Report!"
"Come in."
Shiratori walked into the classroom with an awkward smile on his face.
"Really? You're late on the first day of school and didn't even attend the entrance ceremony…"
The young male teacher stood on the podium and said in a very dissatisfied tone: "Introduce yourself to everyone."
"Yes."
Shiratori turned to face his classmates.
The classrooms of the ninja academy are all stepped. Standing at the door, you can clearly see the faces of every student.
"My name is Shiratori Uchiha, from… The Uchiha Clan. Please give me your guidance in the future."
"Go find your own seat, and don't be late next time!"
"I'm sorry, teacher. I will definitely do it next time - I mean, I won't do it next time!"
In fact, there is no need to find a seat because the only seat left is the one in the corner of the last row…
Facing the curious and admiring gazes of his classmates, Shiratori walked to the last row and sat down. Sitting next to him was a girl who was chewing bubble gum and looked a little naughty.
Before he could politely say hello, the male teacher on the podium clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention back to the front.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Fuma Hayato, and I'm your teacher. Now I'll start the roll call…"
"Hayate Gekko."
"Here."
"Izumo Kamizuki."
"Here."
"Iruka Umino."
"Here."
"Anko Mitarashi."
The girl sitting next to Shiratori raised her hand casually.
"Student, do you want to be punished by standing on your first day of school?"
"...Here."
Fuma-sensei had a headache, knowing that he had run into a troublemaker
"Hana Inoue…"
"Daisuke Minamino…"
"Chinatsu Hinata…"
"Shiratori Uchiha."
"Here."
