"Act discreetly?"
"Yes."
Fugaku Uchiha nodded. "I know that with your strength, crushing those of your same generation is very simple, but the tree that stands out in the forest will be knocked down by the wind."
"Your talent could awaken the village's jealousy toward our clan."
"Therefore... during tomorrow's exam, control yourself a bit."
Upon hearing Fugaku Uchiha's words, Mirai Uchiha understood his intentions.
Although he already knew that beneath Fugaku Uchiha's serene appearance hid a weak heart, Mirai Uchiha never imagined it could be weak to this extent.
To ask him to feign weakness deliberately during the graduation exam.
Will the tree that stands out in the forest be knocked down by the wind?
How ridiculous!
"Weakness does not attract the compassion of the strong, only an even stronger oppression."
"To get out of a difficult situation, you must never forget to strike first," said Mirai Uchiha indifferently.
He was in the Uchiha complex, so he didn't have to worry about the prying eyes of the Hokage faction, and thus spoke with fewer reservations.
Fugaku Uchiha's suggestion seemed utterly despicable to him.
If yielding had worked, the Uchiha clan wouldn't have been wiped out in the original history.
On the contrary,
only by showing a strength strong enough can you instill fear in the hearts of the ambitious.
"Do you know what you're saying?" asked Fugaku Uchiha, incredulously.
He couldn't believe that a ten-year-old child could say such a thing.
If these words spread, the entire Uchiha clan would likely be implicated!
"Of course I know what I'm saying, and these eyes of mine are enough to see the future clearly."
In the darkness, Mirai Uchiha's crimson Sharingan slowly spun, revealing a cold and violent aura: "The arrogance in the bones of an Uchiha will never be broken."
After saying this, Mirai Uchiha closed the door.
Constantly yielding only leads to greater oppression from the enemy, until there is no more room to retreat and one falls into the abyss.
The fate of the Uchiha clan in the original history is a clear testament to that.
Looking at the closed door, Fugaku Uchiha's face darkened.
He hadn't expected to be lectured by a brat.
"Hahahaha... Fugaku, I told you this kid was no ordinary one."
"What do you say now? Do you believe me?"
A warm laugh echoed in the darkness.
"Father!"
Upon seeing Tajima Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha quickly bowed.
"Fugaku, you don't even have the clarity of a child."
"You must remember that blindly yielding is not a wise decision."
Upon hearing Tajima Uchiha's words, Fugaku felt a little resentful: "But... since the time of the Second Hokage, the village has always been suspicious of our clan."
"A person like Mirai Uchiha, won't he make the village fear us even more?"
"Hmph!" Tajima Uchiha wiped the smile off his face. "Fugaku, you must remember that we have not wronged the village."
With that, Tajima Uchiha sighed and changed the subject.
"My body won't last much longer. When I die, you will be the new leader of the Uchiha clan."
"As a leader, your character is too weak, too prone to doubt. You need to be more decisive."
"Mirai Uchiha will be an excellent assistant, you must get along with him."
Upon hearing Tajima Uchiha's instructions, Fugaku Uchiha hastily responded: "Yes, Father."
However,
a trace of disdain crossed his mind.
From Fugaku Uchiha's point of view, Mirai Uchiha was like a time bomb that would sooner or later bring disaster to the Uchiha clan.
It would be best to distance himself from such a person as soon as possible.
...
Ninja Academy.
Classroom.
"Today is the graduation exam, if we pass, we will become real ninjas."
"Yes, I'll finally have my own ninja squad."
"Hahahaha... after we become ninjas, we can accept missions, just thinking about it gets me excited."
"You'll see, it won't be long before the name of this great lord resounds across the ninja world!"
"Stop boasting, first pass the graduation exam and then we'll talk."
"By the way, I hope I don't end up in the same group as Mirai Uchiha, that would be a real problem."
"Yeah, fighting against that guy is just bad luck, period."
With the imminent graduation exam, most faces showed excitement and enthusiasm.
Becoming a ninja, inheriting the Will of Fire...
It was a great honor!
Just then, Mirai Uchiha entered the classroom.
Upon seeing his figure, the class immediately fell silent.
Everyone silently watched Mirai Uchiha until he sat down in his seat, only then did people resume the previous discussion.
However,
the voices were notably quieter than before.
"Tsk~"
"It's because of guys like him that the Uchiha clan has such a bad reputation," murmured Obito Uchiha to himself.
Who does he think he is, pretending to have such a cold attitude all day?
"Obito!" Rin Nohara slightly frowned. "Don't talk about your classmates behind their backs."
Hearing Rin Nohara, Obito Uchiha reluctantly nodded but still turned to make a face at Mirai Uchiha: "You'd better not run into me in the graduation exam, otherwise, you might not even graduate."
Unlike the original history of the 12 Konoha graduates,
This time, the graduation exam did not evaluate basic ninjutsu like the Clone or Transformation Jutsu. Instead, it was conducted through a lottery for one-on-one battles.
The examiners would decide if the candidates could graduate based on their performance in battle.
At Obito Uchiha's provocation, Mirai Uchiha slightly opened his mouth and uttered two words: "Failure."
"What did you say?!"
Obito Uchiha instantly became furious.
He, who had always dreamed of becoming Hokage, hated the nickname "failure" more than anything.
"Obito!"
"Calm down, please."
Seeing Obito Uchiha standing on the desk, Rin Nohara tried to dissuade him with resignation.
"Rin, let me go, today I have to teach this guy a lesson!" Obito Uchiha shouted.
"Hmph!"
"Obito, do you really have the strength to face Mirai?" said Kurenai Yūhi, sitting next to Mirai Uchiha, looking at Obito with annoyance. "If you end up in the same group as Mirai, you might not even get a chance to make a move."
"Nonsense!" Obito retorted indignantly. "I've prepared a secret weapon lately, there's no way this guy, Mirai Uchiha, can be my opponent."
"A secret weapon?"
"Are you scared, huh? You better pray not to end up in my group, because if you do, I won't show any mercy."
Just as Obito Uchiha was gloating, the professor, Oiwa Kimiyama, entered the room.
"Silence, everyone, now follow me to the courtyard, the exam is about to begin!"
