Cool!
Kakashi was ecstatic, feeling better than ever. The constant drain from Obito's Sharingan had always weighed him down, but now, with the Uchiha bloodline reward, that weight was gone. His chakra reserves surged, and he felt more powerful than he had in years.
Might Guy: "Yo, Kakashi! Let's have a friendly duel after the broadcast!"
Hatake Kakashi: "Sure! I won't refuse this time."
Orochimaru: "A bloodline reward... This is truly incredible!"
Orochimaru was thrilled, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He realized the significance of the prizes and began to strategize how best to claim the next reward.
At that moment, across the entire ninja world, everyone watching the live broadcast felt a newfound hunger for power.
Jiraiya: "Kakashi, how did you guess option C? That was spot on."
Iruka: "Based on what I know of Sasuke, options A or B seemed far more plausible."
Kakashi leaned back, eyes slightly narrowing as he responded:
"You don't get it. The Sasuke from our world was deeply affected by the Uchiha massacre. His emotions were intense, and his personality became obsessive. So yes, in our world, Sasuke would probably lean towards options A or B."
"But the Sasuke in this parallel world? He's more mature. He can control his emotions better and interact with those around him more openly, instead of being distant all the time."
Uchiha Sasuke: "Tch! Distant?!"
Sasuke clenched his fists in frustration, veins pulsing on his forehead. *Is this how Kakashi sees me?*
Senju Tobirama: "But why didn't you choose option D? With only one Uchiha left, wouldn't rebuilding the clan be a priority?"
Kakashi cleared his throat, ready to deliver an unusual observation.
"Ahem. Well, this might sound odd, but Uchiha men are generally... not good with women."
Pfft!
Everyone was left speechless.
Not good with women?!
Could it be that the great Uchiha clan, with its rich history of power and prestige, was made up of socially awkward men?
Uchiha Madara: "What nonsense! Hatake Kakashi, right? Explain yourself!"
Uchiha Fugaku: "This is slander! How could our clan thrive for generations if that were true?"
Kakashi coughed and waved his hands in defense.
"Let me clarify. I don't mean they lack romantic appeal, but Uchiha men generally prioritize bonds of brotherhood and loyalty over romantic relationships."
"Think about the Uchihas you know. They care more about their friends and rivals than women."
Kakashi pointed at his own team as an example.
"Take Sasuke and Naruto. They fight constantly, but their bond is deeper than anything else. As for Sakura... well, she's more of a mediator in their dynamic."
"To Sasuke, Naruto's importance far outweighs any feelings he might have for Sakura."
Senju Tobirama: "Now that you mention it, that seems to make sense."
Senju Hashirama: "Tobirama, what are you even thinking...?"
Kakashi smirked, continuing his explanation. "So even though this parallel Sasuke seems kind towards Sakura and Ino, he likely sees them as useful but not essential. His focus is elsewhere—his ambitions, his bonds."
Uchiha Obito: "Kakashi, you idiot! What are you even talking about?!"
Kakashi was shocked. "Obito?! You're here?"
In the shadows, Black Zetsu nudged Obito, concerned.
"Obito, be careful! Don't reveal your identity!"
But Obito smirked, unconcerned. "Relax. Kakashi thinks I'm dead. To him, I'm just a ghost talking."
Black Zetsu considered this and nodded in agreement.
Obito felt a mischievous thrill. *Kakashi doesn't know I'm alive. How fun it'll be when he finds out the truth just before my Moon's Eye Plan is complete!
Uchiha Obito: "Kakashi, do you really think you were more important to me than Rin?"
Hatake Kakashi: "And that's exactly what I'm talking about—Uchiha men are generally not good at relationships with women. But Obito... you're not ordinary."

The comparison live broadcast paused on the gold-framed screen, and the silver-framed screen flickered to life.
---
[Sasuke returned to the ninja academy after intensive training. His demeanor had shifted dramatically.]
[Where once there was typical Uchiha arrogance, now there was cold indifference, an impenetrable wall separating him from his peers.]
[Only with Uzumaki Naruto did he allow some connection, often through their usual bickering.]
[For Sasuke, Naruto was the only one who could somewhat understand the pain he carried.]
---
Hatake Kakashi: "See what I mean? Uchiha men are all like this!"
Uchiha Sasuke: "Kakashi, shut up!"
Uzumaki Naruto: "Wait! So I'm special to Sasuke? Then why's he always acting so aloof?!"
Uchiha Sasuke: "Naruto, shut up too!"
Sasuke felt his patience fraying. This live broadcast was peeling back layers of his private life for everyone to see!
---
[Sasuke began training harder than ever, mastering several C-rank Fire Style jutsu from his parents' scrolls.]
[He easily dominated the academy's combat tests, taking first place.]
[But despite his success, Sasuke felt lost.]
[What should his next step in training be?]
