A month had passed since the structure of the Student Union was established, and excitement buzzed through the academy as students gathered at the entrance of the newly constructed building. It was early morning, and the air was filled with anticipation. Students, both new and returning, crowded around the announcement board, eager to learn more about this new development.

The announcement detailed the purpose of the Student Union, explaining its responsibilities and the resources it offered to help students advance their skills. For many of the civilian students, this was an opportunity they had never imagined—access to the same level of training and knowledge that clan-born students had.

As they continued reading, they saw the code of conduct and discipline rules clearly outlined. Some students raised eyebrows at the mention of punishments, but when the second-year students saw the name "Might Duy" associated with the more severe penalties, a collective shudder ran through them. They had heard of the man—a taijutsu fanatic who trained with an intensity that bordered on insanity. The thought of enduring his training regimen as a punishment was enough to make them vow never to break any rules.

Aryan, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Sakumo arrived at the scene, observing the reactions of the students. Jiraiya grinned and nudged Aryan. "I told you, Aryan. Just the mention of training with Might Duy is enough to scare them straight!"

Aryan chuckled, watching as the students' initial excitement mingled with a newfound respect for the Union's rules.

Today also marked an important milestone for Aryan—he had taken up the position of department lead for the Genjutsu Department. Over the past month, he had diligently studied the basics of genjutsu, mastering several D-level techniques that were fundamental to the Konoha and Uchiha styles. These included:

Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu (Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique): A technique that makes the target see a horrifying vision.Kori Shinchū no Jutsu (Sly Mind Affect Technique): A genjutsu that causes the target to walk in circles, making them believe they are moving forward.Kasumi Jūsha no Jutsu (Mist Servant Technique): A technique that creates multiple clones that appear to be solid but are intangible and distracting.

Two more months passed, and Aryan's dedication to his training bore fruit. Today was the day he finally completed the chakra shape transformation for his Fire Release. After months of rigorous training, his control over the flames had become precise, and he could now perform the Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) and the Ryūka no Jutsu (Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique) with a level of mastery that would make any Uchiha proud.

That evening, Aryan informed his parents of his accomplishment. They were thrilled and congratulated him on his hard work and dedication. With his goal of mastering the Fire Release techniques achieved, Aryan decided it was time to move forward with his plans to begin a part-time internship at Konoha Hospital. He approached his father, Kenji, for a recommendation.

Kenji listened to Aryan's request and nodded approvingly, but he also had another plan in mind. "Aryan, before you start your internship, there's something important you need to do. You've reached the age where you should undergo the Uchiha age ceremony."

Aryan looked at his father curiously, and Kenji continued, "This ceremony is a rite of passage for all Uchiha. You will perform various Uchiha specialties in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu in the presence of our clan members and elders. It's a tradition that signifies your transition into adulthood within the clan."

Aryan felt a surge of excitement and nervousness at the thought of standing before the clan elders, demonstrating his skills. But more than anything, he felt a sense of pride and determination. This was a significant step in his journey, one that would solidify his place within the Uchiha clan.

"Prepare yourself," Kenji said, placing a hand on Aryan's shoulder. "Next Sunday, you will show the clan what you've achieved."

As Aryan nodded, a resolve took root within him. He knew that this ceremony would be a pivotal moment in his life, one that would set the stage for his future endeavors.

The chapter ends with Aryan mentally preparing for the Uchiha age ceremony, understanding the importance of the tradition, and looking forward to proving himself to his clan.
