Chapter 57 - Chapter 57 : Very well...Sasuke will be my student."·

It must be said, the Uchiha truly deserve their reputation as the clan with the longest and deepest heritage in the shinobi world.

Although Indra, their founder, once fell out with the Sage of Six Paths and his brother Asura, the Sage never withheld the blessings that rightfully belonged to him.

Aside from the role of inheriting Ninshū, Indra was given everything else.....the knowledge, the power, and even guidance for his descendants.

To ensure the Uchiha lineage would not lose their path, the Sage left behind a stone tablet describing the evolution of the Sharingan.

However, Uchiha Arata's current Sharingan level was not yet high enough.

He could not read the parts on the tablet that recorded the method of evolving the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into the Rinnegan, nor the secret about the Eye of the Moon Plan.

Those contents could only be seen when the Sharingan had evolved into its eternal state.

Arata's Mangekyō Sharingan had already reached its peak....almost touching the threshold of the Eternal Mangekyō.

When he fully activated his eyes, faint and blurry characters would appear on the tablet's surface.

Though the words were indistinct, Arata guessed that this was the false information left by Black Zetsu, pretending to be the Sage of Six Paths.

The fact that he could even glimpse those vague inscriptions was already proof that Uchiha Arata's ocular power far exceeded that of an ordinary Mangekyō Sharingan.

Since he couldn't read it clearly now, there was no need to dwell on it.

His eyes were already nearing the eternal stage—he would see the truth later.

With that thought, Arata summoned the skeletal arm of his Susanoo, uprooted the entire stone tablet, and tossed it into a remote corner of his dimensional island.

With the tablet relocated, Arata's purpose for coming to Naka Shrine was complete.

After a brief look around the ancient halls, he estimated that Mikoto Uchiha had likely finished preparing breakfast.

He didn't hesitate.....he went straight to her home to join them for the meal.

It wasn't exactly Arata's idea to invite himself.

He still felt a little awkward facing Fugaku Uchiha.

Rather, it was Fugaku who had asked Mikoto to invite him....he had something important to discuss.

And since Arata also wanted to talk with Fugaku and the Great Elder about the list of clansmen who would go to Uzushiogakure first, he accepted the invitation.

When Arata arrived at the clan leader's residence, breakfast had just been set out.

After greeting Fugaku and Mikoto, he nodded toward the curious young boy.....Sasuke Uchiha...and sat down to enjoy the generous meal prepared by the family.

After breakfast, Fugaku led Arata into the sitting room.

Unlike usual, Mikoto and little Sasuke followed them inside.

Once Fugaku had taken his seat at the head of the table, he took a sip of tea, his expression solemn as he spoke.

"Arata, the reason I asked you here today is because I want you to become Sasuke's teacher.

First, Sasuke has reached the age to begin proper training.

Though his talent doesn't quite match his brother's, he's still a child with great potential.

As the foremost expert of our clan, there's no one more suitable than you.

Second, our Uchiha clan will soon be relocating.

As clan leader, I must oversee the transition personally.....only with me there can the clansmen feel secure.

You, however, have been retained in the Anbu by the Third Hokage.

So while I'm away, I hope you can look after Mikoto and Sasuke from time to time."

Before Arata could even respond, Fugaku bowed his head deeply.

Please, Arata."

Arata hadn't expected this request.

He had never been fond of the Sasuke from the original timeline.....after all, that version had been consumed by vengeance, twisted by tragedy, and burdened by his clan's annihilation and his brother's betrayal.

Such a personality was hard to like.

But this Sasuke was different.

As Indra's reincarnation, Sasuke's innate talent was undeniable.

With Indra's chakra within him, his future achievements would surely be extraordinary.

And as for his personality... Arata glanced at the innocent little boy before him.....naïve, bright-eyed, and full of curiosity.

That could be shaped, molded, and guided in the right direction.

Arata firmly believed that no child was beyond teaching...it only depended on whether one was willing to discipline properly.

Besides, Sasuke was still an adorable, kind-hearted boy.

Without the trauma of massacre and loss, he would not grow into that cold, vengeful man from the past.

Looking at Mikoto's hopeful gaze, then at Sasuke's innocent face and Fugaku's bowed head, Arata no longer pretended to hesitate.

He smiled and nodded.

Since the clan leader has such faith in me, it would be ungrateful to refuse. Very well...Sasuke will be my student."
