When Yasu returned to the underground base, Orochimaru was not there.
After taking a shower, he went back to his room to sleep.
He was indeed quite angry about the matter of Uchiha Yuto and Uchiha Kazuma at first.
They really thought he was the same pushover he used to be; someone they could just bully as they pleased.
But later, he stopped being angry because it really wasn't worth getting angry at such stupid guys.
He even found these two guys quite funny.
They couldn't beat him, so they brought up the name of the Uchiha clan to suppress him.
He was currently under Orochimaru's protection, so what did he have to fear?
Yasu lay on the bed and quickly drifted into dreamland.
However, Uchiha Yuto and Uchiha Kazuma were not having such a comfortable time; they were currently receiving treatment at the ninja hospital.
Before long, the current Uchiha clan head, Uchiha Masaki, arrived at the ninja hospital, accompanied by a child about the same age as Yasu.
This child was the next clan head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Masaki frowned as he looked at Uchiha Yuto and Uchiha Kazuma, whose right arms were wrapped in plaster bandages, and asked, "What happened?!"
Seeing their Clan Leader Masaki arrive, Kazuma was so nervous that he didn't dare to speak.
But Yuto gritted his teeth and said: "It's that guy Yasu!"
Masaki frowned even more deeply: "Didn't I say that everyone should not go looking for trouble with him?!"
Masaki knew that Yasu had handed over a set of A-rank ninjutsu to Konoha, and several people from the Uchiha clan had also learned this set of ninjutsu.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude towards Yasu, that he was planning to nurture him.
At the same time, although not many people knew about Orochimaru taking him as a disciple, Uchiha Masaki, as the clan head, still had ways to find out about it.
The Third Hokage's disciple, Orochimaru, one of the Sannin of Konoha, taking a disciple, Yasu's status in Konoha had already risen, and he was obviously a member of the Hokage faction.
In fact, when he contributed that set of A-rank ninjutsu and Hiruzen's attitude towards him began to change, Masaki had already ordered the Uchiha clan not to go looking for trouble with him.
This was also why the Uchiha clan had not troubled Yasu in recent years.
And after he became Orochimaru's disciple, Uchiha Masaki emphasized once again not to go looking for trouble with Yasu.
So, he asked in a deep voice: "Did you go looking for trouble with him?"
Yuto's mouth moved, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Although Yuto and Kazuma relied on being members of the Uchiha clan to throw tantrum around, they had a sense of belonging to the Uchiha clan and were proud to be Uchiha, disdaining to lie.
Masaki's face darkened: "After your injuries heal, return to the clan and be dealt with according to clan rules! I'll say it once again, don't go looking for trouble with him!"
He really felt a sense of disappointment towards his clansmen, who were arrogant and unable to understand the situation at all.
He now understood very well the Uchiha clan's situation in Konoha.
In his view, the current Uchiha clan was like an old man on his deathbed, experiencing his last burst of glory.
The villagers' fear and disgust towards them, and the clansmen's arrogance and conceit.
If it weren't for the unstable situation in the ninja world, and Konoha still needed the Uchiha, perhaps Konoha would have already started to liquidate the Uchiha and buried them six feet under.
If there was anyone in Konoha who most wanted the war to start, besides the old schemer Danzo who was always hiding in the shadows like a rat, it was Uchiha Masaki.
In his view, the only way to restore the Uchiha clan's vitality was to demonstrate its value.
To tell Sarutobi Hiruzen, to tell the villagers, that Konoha could not be at peace without the Uchiha clan.
So how to demonstrate their value? That was only on the battlefield.
Masaki had repeatedly told his clansmen to keep a low profile, but the clansmen were used to being arrogant, and even if they were told to keep a low profile, their habits were difficult to change.
He was almost depressed; being this clan head shortened his lifespan by many years.
Masaki glanced at Uchiha Fugaku beside him and the corners of his mouth curled up.
The only consolation was that his son had not gone astray, like the other clansmen who were arrogant.
He believed that his son would definitely be able to become a qualified clan head in the future.
Masaki glanced at Yuto and Kazuma on the hospital beds, and in the end, didn't say anything; they were too disappointing, and even if he said something to them, it would go in one ear and out the other, so forget it, he wouldn't say anything.
Just as he was about to leave, after some struggle, Uchiha Yuto still said, "Clan Head, that guy Yasu... has awakened the Sharingan!"
Masaki suddenly stopped and turned his head in disbelief: "What did you say?!"
Uchiha Yuto repeated: "That guy has awakened the Sharingan!"
Masaki's expression constantly changed: "How old is he this year? 13 years old? Or 14 years old?"
Fugaku replied: "Father, he is two grades younger than me, so he should be 12 years old now."
Masaki was greatly shocked: "Awakened and activated the Sharingan at 12 years old? No, it's not necessarily 12 years old exactly, this guy... is a genius?!"
His own son, Uchiha Fugaku, was already recognized as a genius within the clan, but the 14-year-old Fugaku still hadn't awakened his Sharingan. (Don't know if this is true, but well...)
Masaki recalled the scene when the Konoha Anbu brought Yasu to the Uchiha clan.
Because he had the bloodline of the Senju clan, the Uchiha clan's mortal enemy, not only the clansmen, but he also looked down on him.
So, he flatly refused to acknowledge his Uchiha identity.
If he had known that his talent was this strong, he would have kept him in the Uchiha clan even if he had to defy everyone's opposition!
But even if he regretted it now, it was useless.
Masaki thought a lot, and Fugaku also thought a lot.
As the son of Uchiha Masaki, the head of the Uchiha clan, everyone in the clan praised him as a genius, saying that he would definitely be able to become the strongest person in the Uchiha clan in the future.
Uchiha Fugaku also had great confidence in himself, believing that he would definitely be able to become strong and become the pillar of the Uchiha clan.
However, Yasu, who only possessed half Uchiha blood, had actually awakened the Sharingan, and Fugaku was greatly shocked, and at the same time, felt somewhat unwilling.
Yasu may have awakened the Sharingan not just at 12 years old probably before, while he, the person who was called a genius all day long, hadn't even shown any signs of awakening the Sharingan even now.
