Chapter 09: Uchiha Itachi (3rd Update, seeking Likes and fresh flowers)
After Tengen defeated Hayate Gekkō.
Tengen's abilities spread throughout the Ninja Academy. Now, everyone believed Tengen's strength was likely number one in the school.
Perhaps he would apply for graduation this year.
In any case, Tengen became famous, stepping on Hayate Gekkō to get there. Although Hayate Gekkō was very unwilling, there was nothing he could say while lying in the Konoha Hospital.
Yūgao Uzuki, who always called him "Big Brother Hayate," was directly charmed by Tengen.
Anyway, right now, Hayate Gekkō felt his destiny was incredibly miserable.
After school.
"Tengen, I won't be left behind. I'm going to strive to graduate this year too," Anko shouted loudly.
"By the way, Iruka, you have to work hard too," Anko turned her head and said to Iruka.
"Um, my talent isn't as high as yours, but I will work hard," Iruka smiled slightly.
"Big Brother Tengen is the most amazing," Yūgao Uzuki cheered from the side.
"Anko, speaking of which, I haven't said I'm graduating this year yet," Tengen touched his nose. When did he say that?
"Didn't you keep saving your strength? Now that you've exploded with power, isn't that the reason?" Anko glanced at Tengen.
"Oh, that's true. Then I will apply for graduation this year," Tengen nodded.
With strength comes a broader horizon. If he graduates, he will have a guiding teacher, and perhaps he can obtain more good signals outside of Konoha.
"Mm." Tengen suddenly discovered that the Player System had another signal reception location. "Anko, Iruka, Yūgao, I'm leaving first. I have something to do."
Saying that, Tengen vanished from Anko's sight.
"Just left like that?" Anko was stunned. "Then I'll go back too. I need to work hard."
On the other side, Tengen walked toward the signal target according to the Player map.
The further he walked, the stranger it felt.
"It's the edge of Konoha again," Tengen looked at the surrounding buildings. "The Uchiha Clan."
Passing through here, even without looking directly, Tengen could feel the gazes of the Uchiha Clan. Those aloof, indifferent gazes. Someone with a personality like Shisui Uchiha was truly an anomaly in the Uchiha Clan.
Fortunately, it was daytime. Otherwise, Tengen would have to worry about whether he would be secretly taken out by someone from the Uchiha Clan.
Well, Tengen was overthinking it. The Uchiha Clan were also Konoha ninjas; they wouldn't just kill people casually.
The Uchiha Clan's residence wasn't a forbidden area, it was just that few other ninjas would come to this place.
After all, this was the Uchiha gathering place.
"Not here?" Tengen complained a bit. Feeling those cold gazes from the Uchiha clan members, Tengen's heart trembled slightly.
"Hmm, it's here." Tengen looked toward a tall building. This building looked very unusual even within the Uchiha Clan.
Tengen looked up. "It seems to be at the entrance. I need to finish receiving it as soon as possible."
Running directly into the signal reception range, Tengen began to receive the video signal. This video signal was a Standard Video, one level higher than Normal, so the reception time was slightly longer.
"It's almost done," Tengen thought to himself as he watched the reception progress.
"Who are you? You aren't an Uchiha clansman. What are you doing here?" A childish voice came from the opening gate of the building, speaking from beside Tengen.
"Oh, what a cute kid," Tengen squatted down and patted the child's head.
"What are you doing? Don't pat me," the child said quickly.
"Really cute," Tengen pinched the child's small face with his hand. Then, his hands froze. He felt an icy chill all around him. At the door, an Uchiha clansman was looking at Tengen coldly.
"Jōnin." Tengen didn't need to fight to know that this ninja's strength should be Jōnin level. A Chūnin wouldn't give off this kind of pressure.
"I seem to have urgent business," Tengen stood up quickly. If he continued to stay here, he felt something bad would happen.
Anyway, the signal reception was complete.
"Tengen," a surprised voice rang out. An acquaintance he met in the morning appeared in front of Tengen: Shisui Uchiha.
"Big Brother Shisui," the child ran over with small feet.
"Itachi, good afternoon," Shisui Uchiha squatted down and patted the child's head.
"Tengen, how did you get here?" Shisui Uchiha stood up and asked with some surprise. This was the Uchiha gathering place; outsiders rarely entered.
"I got lost on the road of life again," Tengen stated lightly.
"Haha, Tengen, you have a complete lack of direction. Do you want me to escort you?" Shisui Uchiha laughed. Meeting Tengen lost twice in one day, this probability was truly magical.
"No need, I'll go back myself," Tengen said quickly. "Then, Big Brother Shisui, and little friend, goodbye."
With that, Tengen disappeared from the spot.
He didn't want to stay here. Most importantly, Tengen was very curious about this item. What exactly could he get from a Standard Signal Fragment?
"Big Brother Shisui, who was that?" The child asked Shisui Uchiha.
"Oh, him? His name is Tengen. An interesting person," Shisui Uchiha looked at the disappearing Tengen and revealed a trace of a smile.
"Not good at all. He's hateful. He pinched my cheek just now," the child said with puffed cheeks.
"Haha, Itachi, then how about you find a chance to pinch him back?" Shisui Uchiha laughed.
Leaving the Uchiha Clan grounds, Tengen naturally hurried towards his home. From the conversation just now, he had some guesses.
That building should be where the Uchiha Clan Head, Fugaku Uchiha, lives. And that child was Itachi Uchiha.
It's just that the 2-year-old Itachi looked really kawaii.
"Felt good to the touch," Tengen nodded. In modern times, many people liked Itachi Uchiha. Tengen smiled evilly.
"I feel like a certain type of game would be good. A raising sim." With wild thoughts in his head, Tengen quickly returned home.
His house was a decent size. Of course, it couldn't compare with the Uchiha Clan's, but for Tengen, it was very good.
"Now, let's see what the video is." Tengen walked into the house, closed the door, sat on a chair, and looked at the video fragment in the Player System.
"This..."
