(Konoha - Uchiha Clan)
"Excellent reflexes! But in our Clan's territory, no one dares to attack us yet... Good evening Gen Uchiha, I introduce myself, my name is Fugaku Uchiha and I have the mission of visiting you on behalf of the leader of the Clan."
Emerging from the shadows, a particularly young man, with chestnut-colored hair that reached his neck and black eyes. Wearing the Jonin uniform, he wore the standard ninja vest, with the symbol of the Konoha Military Police and a blue cape with white triangles on the bottom.
Fugaku, observing Gen's reaction, first complimented him and then introduced himself with a smile.
Fugaku Uchiha, future patriarch of the Uchiha clan, as well as the one of the Konoha Military Police, husband of Mikoto Uchiha and father of Itachi and Sasuke.
Regarding Fugaku, although Gen has never been in contact with him, but obviously he knows him.
"Hello, Fugaku-senpai!"
Upon learning that the attacker was Fugaku Uchiha, who had never engaged in a conversation with him, Gen's eyes lit up and he quickly lowered his right hand on the weapons carrying bag and greeted him without being too respectful.
In this period of time, although Fugaku has not yet become the leader of the Uchiha Clan, but he is already part of the high-level group of the Uchiha Clan, he has even already been designated as the next Clan Patriarch.
Fugaku's visit is not a coincidence, and of course it will not be just a visit.
The results of the evaluation at the Ninja Academy are not a secret to the big clans. So the Uchiha clan already has their information.
The Academy's strength assessment of him, ranked at "Chūnin", coupled with his excellent performance, naturally attracted the Clan to him.
His visit was not only to contact him, nor to verify his level of strength, but... for the preparation of the succession of the leader of the Clan.
After all, recruiting prodigies under him is very important for his future rule.
Gen gave him a brief greeting, and after a brief conversation, Gen politely invited him into his house.
"Fugaku-senpai, I'm sorry about the lack of drinks, but would a glass of water be okay?"
"You don't have to be so strict with yourself, a glass of water would be fine."
In the living room, Fugaku was sitting in a chair which had a small table. Gen, after bringing him a glass of boiled water, and leaving it on the table, sat down in front of him in an armchair.
"Gen, I didn't expect that even if I lived alone, your house would be so clean and tidy." Complimented him, after carefully observing the places in the house.
Gen forced a smile and answered: "Major Fugaku is wrong… I'm not the one who cleans, I hired my aunt so he could keep the house in order."
"That's right, asking your aunt to take care of the house is a wise move. Since you follow the path of a ninja, you should waste less time on unimportant things, and concentrate more on your training." Said Fugaku shaking his head.
Then, he looked Gen directly in the eyes with a fiery look and said: "Gen Uchiha, although it is the first time we have engaged in conversation, the reality is that I know you very well.
He being one of the most outstanding members of the new Generation. You may not know it, but the clan has always been paying attention to you"
Speaking, he paused briefly and then said: "....The reason for my visit, on the one hand, is to find out your situation and on the other, to solve all the problems and needs you have.
Therefore, if you need anything, encounter any problem, you can call me and I will do my best to help you."
Expressing his understanding, with an expression of gratitude, Gen said, "Thank you, I am very grateful to Fugaku-senpai and the Clan for their concern! And please convey this message to the patriarch: 'Gen is very grateful in his heart for taking care of him...if I become someone great in the future, I will definitely not disappoint the pride of the Clan.'"
"...No problem, I will say these same words to the Clan Leader, so Gen, do you need anything that requires my help?" Momentarily surprised by the message, Fugaku nodded and then asked tentatively.
Upon mentioning this topic, Gen quickly said helplessly: "To be honest, recently, I haven't been able to make any further progress in my training.
I have already finished learning everything I had, what was taught at the academy, the ninjutsus and other knowledge passed on by my parents, I have already mastered it... so right now what I would be missing would be knowledge to learn."
Fugaku's eyes widened in shock and he asked:
"I can understand that you have mastered all the knowledge of the Academy, But I remember correctly that your father is a Jōnin, right? So he should have left you some jutsus as part of his inheritance, but from your words, he hasn't left you anything?"
"Yes, my father was a Jõnin. And yes, he has left me his heritage, and it even contains a B-Rank Fire Style Ninjutsu, but I have already mastered them completely." said Gen with a distressed expression.
Upon hearing this, Fugaku stood up from his seat suddenly and asked out loud, surprised: "You learned B-Rank ninjutsu?! "
Gen nodded calmly, despite Fugaku's reaction, and said, "I'm telling you my difficulties, how could I lie to you?"
"Then can you prove it to me? And if what you say is true, you will have my full support in whatever you do!" said Fugaku decisively.
It is never feasible to rely solely on someone's words, but if what they say is true, then the situation will become completely different.
Gen, expecting this, said happily: "No problem, I also ask Fugaku-senpai to correct me if I make a mistake."
Although the current situation surprised him a little, but it was not out of his calculations.
Since the results came out, he knew that he had to prove himself in the Clan.
Although he did not expect the one to come to be Fugaku Uchiha, he did expect some of the Clan leaders to visit him.
"Excellent, then let's go to the nearest training field right now!" Seeing Gen's reaction and response made Fugaku even more convinced that it was true.
At the age of 9, mastering something of the caliber of a B-Rank ninjutsu would be enough to rank him among the best talent(s) of the Uchiha Clan.
