Konoha Village.
Uchiha Clan District.
Two youths, one older and one younger, walked through the streets amidst a bustle of discussions. Many people had expressions of gloating on their faces.
Seeing this scene, the younger boy took the initiative to explain: "Mirai-senpai, something very strange happened in the village last night."
Hearing the boy, Mirai Uchiha raised an eyebrow unfazed: "Shisui, I went to bed very early last night, what happened?"
Shisui Uchiha moved closer to Mirai Uchiha and lowered his voice: "I heard that last night someone attacked a base of the Root organization and killed several of its ninjas."
"Really?"
"Yes, yes! But it's not that simple," Shisui Uchiha continued. "It's said that this matter is related to the Nara clan and the Akimichi clan."
"Is there any proof?"
"Last night a seriously injured Root ninja escaped. He saw with his own eyes the attacker using the secret jutsus of the Nara and Akimichi clans."
After saying this, Shisui Uchiha sighed: "They are all ninjas from the Hokage's faction, I didn't expect them to fight amongst themselves."
After having accepted Mirai Uchiha's ideology, Shisui Uchiha's perception of the village had become much clearer.
Now, upon hearing such news, he felt even more in agreement with Mirai Uchiha's idea of changing the village.
That internal struggles could occur at a time like this meant their rulers had already been corrupted by darkness.
"How do you know so much news?"
Mirai Uchiha asked, perplexed.
"Danzo Shimura went first thing in the morning with the Root ninjas to cause trouble at the Akimichi and Nara clan districts. Everyone knows about it now."
"Mirai-senpai, you didn't know anything?"
Faced with Shisui Uchiha's inquisitive gaze, Mirai Uchiha shook his head.
Of course, he knew. He had done it himself.
Yesterday, after looting the secret jutsus of the Akimichi and Nara clans from the Root ninjas who attacked him, he went to the Root hideout and killed several of the ninjas on guard.
The ninja who escaped seriously injured, he also let him escape on purpose.
His current strength was not enough to confront them openly, so to prevent them from continuing to bother him, he had no choice but to give Danzo Shimura something to keep him busy.
The proof of a clan's secret jutsu was irrefutable.
With Danzo Shimura's character, this matter would definitely not be resolved easily.
He could enjoy a period of tranquility.
The rest of the way passed in silence.
The two arrived at the house of Tajima Uchiha.
"Clan leader!"
"You've arrived, come in and sit down."
Tajima Uchiha looked at Mirai Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha with a smile.
"Mirai, I've heard about your recent performance in the village."
"Very well done, you have not brought shame to our Uchiha clan."
"Here is some money and some ninjutsu scrolls, consider it support from the clan for you."
Sensing Tajima Uchiha's goodwill, Mirai Uchiha smiled and took the items from the table.
Money and ninjutsu scrolls, no one would say no to more.
"Mirai, if you have any other request, do not hesitate to say it. The clan will do everything possible to satisfy you."
Everyone saw Mirai Uchiha's potential, and he, as the clan leader, naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship with him.
"This..." Mirai Uchiha thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea. "Leader Tajima, I want to sign a contract with a summoning beast."
Hearing Mirai Uchiha's request, Tajima Uchiha laughed out loud: "That's easy."
"Most of the clan's ninjas sign the summoning contract with the ninja cat clan."
"Although the ninja cat clan is not particularly good in combat, they are very useful for relaying messages and gathering information."
"If you want, I can make the arrangements for you to sign the summoning contract right now."
What Tajima Uchiha did not expect was that Mirai Uchiha would shake his head slightly, rejecting his proposal: "Are there other summoning beasts in the clan?"
"Well..." Tajima Uchiha frowned and thought for a moment. "Besides the ninja cats, there is another option."
"Crows."
Hearing the answer he wanted, Mirai Uchiha nodded immediately: "That one."
Crows were the summoning beast he had decided to have from the beginning.
For no other reason.
Simply because they're cool.
Once the matter of the summoning beast was decided, Tajima Uchiha turned his gaze to Shisui Uchiha, who was at his side: "Shisui, since you're here, what kind of summoning contract would you like to sign?"
"I like crows too."
Shisui Uchiha said immediately.
"Understood."
Tajima Uchiha was not stingy with his old friend's son. After accepting his request, he also took out several ninjutsu scrolls and handed them to Shisui Uchiha.
"If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me. The clan will do everything possible to help you."
Tajima Uchiha emphasized again.
Mirai Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha nodded at the same time: "Understood, Leader Tajima."
After chatting a little more, Tajima Uchiha sent someone to take Mirai Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha to sign the crow summoning scroll.
When the two left, Tajima Uchiha's face flushed and he coughed heavily several times.
Looking at the fresh blood in the palm of his hand, Tajima Uchiha sighed silently.
His time was running out. Before he died, this was all he could do for the clan.
He hoped that when Mirai and Shisui grew up, they could bring some change to the clan's situation.
Leaving Tajima Uchiha's house, Mirai Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha headed to a dense forest on the back mountain.
While Mirai Uchiha trained, he also gave Shisui Uchiha some guidance.
His experience in real combat was already very rich, and he had also received part of the training knowledge from Fugaku Uchiha and Minato Namikaze.
Therefore, with just a few words, Shisui Uchiha benefited greatly.
"Mirai-senpai, thank you very much for today. In the future, can I ask for your advice if there is something I don't understand?"
Seeing Shisui Uchiha's expectant gaze, Mirai Uchiha nodded: "Of course."
That said, Mirai Uchiha changed the subject: "Shisui, you know that being a ninja is a very dangerous profession, right?"
"Huh? Mirai-senpai, what do you mean?"
"Your current strength is too weak, but you know too many secrets..."
Shisui Uchiha immediately understood what Mirai Uchiha meant. He looked at him with a firm expression and said: "Mirai-senpai, if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to say them. I'm up for anything."
"Then I'll be direct," Mirai Uchiha said slowly. "To prevent you from unintentionally revealing our secrets, I need to place a sealing jutsu on you."
Although he trusted Shisui Uchiha, relatively speaking, it was better to be cautious about certain things.
Coincidentally, the night before, when he killed the Root ninjas, he had looted the "Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal."
This sealing jutsu was developed specifically to prevent the sealed person from revealing secret information.
If the sealed person tries to speak about specific matters, their entire body becomes paralyzed, preventing them from speaking or moving.
It was perfect for keeping secrets.
After Mirai Uchiha briefly explained the effect of the "Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal," Shisui Uchiha's face showed an expression of admiration.
"As expected of Mirai-senpai, to think of these things."
"Please, proceed!"
Shisui Uchiha showed no objection.
After all... the secrets he knew concerned the future of the Uchiha clan and even the entire village.
If being marked with the "Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal" could eliminate the risk of him leaking information, he would be more than happy to accept it.
