Naruto: The Uchiha Calabash Brothers are reshaping the ninja world

Mo shook his head. "I claimed that this matter needed to be discussed with the clan, so I postponed it for now."

"Good!" Fugaku suddenly became excited, then looked straight into Mo's eyes and said, "Mo, recently, the clansmen have become increasingly dissatisfied with the current status of the Uchiha. I hope that you can join the Anbu as an Uchiha and, while gaining a higher status, also convey the Uchiha's demands to the village."

At this point in time, the conservative faction still holds the upper hand within the Uchiha clan, so Fugaku did not directly ask Sumi to become a spy.

Mo frowned slightly. He didn't care whether or not to join the Dark Division, but the Dark Division had too little freedom. Joining the Dark Division at this time was obviously not a good choice for him.

With the third war about to break out, only by entering the battlefield with a more free identity can he maximize his benefits.

"The Anbu... in the end, is just the Hokage's personal fiefdom. Their identities cannot be exposed, and they cannot accumulate prestige. Even the Uchiha might not be able to climb to a high position."

Upon hearing the voice, Fugaku frowned, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, saying:

"That's true, I was being too idealistic... Mo, do you have any thoughts?"

Uchiha Mo slightly curled the corners of his lips. "I heard that the Third Hokage's youngest son graduated this year..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in Fugaku's eyes, and he instantly understood Mo's intention.

"I understand. This is indeed a good choice. I will discuss it with the Third Hokage."

After their conversation, Mo led Zhishui away from the clan chief's residence. On their way home, Zhishui couldn't help but turn back and ask:

"Brother, what were you talking about with the clan chief? Aren't we the largest clan in the village? Why are you...?"

Before Zhishui could finish speaking, she felt a warm, large hand land on her head. Mo turned her head, her dark eyes, devoid of any discernible emotion, meeting Zhishui's gaze.

"Shisui, you are a person with your own will. Don't listen to what others say, and don't be bound by their thoughts, even mine. Uchiha... use your own eyes to see..."

"But... isn't that too arrogant?" Shisui muttered, somewhat puzzled.

Mo lowered his hand, turned his head, and offered no explanation.

The sun rises and sets, and another new day begins.

A bright sun hung in the azure sky, clearly indicating a beautiful day, but some students at the Ninja Academy were not in a good mood.

Because the atmosphere in the ninja world has been turbulent recently, the village has shortened the graduation period of the ninja academy, hoping that the new generation of talents can grow up quickly in order to cope with the possible turmoil.

This sudden change disrupted the minds of many students, and many began to worry about whether they could pass the graduation exam smoothly two years ahead of schedule.

However, the top students clearly did not have this concern.

"I'm graduating soon, and I wonder who I'll be in the same class with..."

"Yes, but more than teammates, I'd prefer a strong and responsible mentor!"

"Eh? Asuma, your dad's the Hokage, you must already know about the team assignments, right?"

Asma, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, leaned back lazily in his chair, propping his legs up on the desk, and said seemingly nonchalantly:

"Who knows? But I'll tell the old man that my team leader will definitely be a very powerful guy."

His gaze kept glancing at the curly-haired little girl beside him.

  

"Huh? Who is it? Could it be Lord Orochimaru?!"

"Isn't Asuma skilled in Wind Release and Fire Release? I think Jiraiya-sama is more likely!"

"Idiot! Lord Jiraiya isn't even in the village, how could that be!"

The people around immediately started chattering, but Asma remained focused on the little girl with curly hair. Seeing her staring blankly out the window, Asma called out anxiously:

"Hong! Do you also want a strong team leader? I can get the old man to put us both in the same class."

"Huh?" Kurenai belatedly turned around, blinking her ruby-like eyes.

"I don't really care..."

Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Asma was somewhat puzzled.

"Hong, what's wrong? You haven't seemed very energetic all day."

"Huh?" Kurenai was slightly taken aback. Her father had been on duty in the barrier team yesterday, so he brought back news of that person's return.

Mo did not attend the Ninja Academy, so most people's knowledge of him is limited to rumors from the village, but Kurenai Yuhi is an exception.

Because Mo awakened his Sharingan early, he was obsessed with genjutsu for a period of time. In order to understand genjutsu outside the Sharingan system, he had some exchanges with Yuhi Shinku.

It was during that time that Hong had a brief contact with Mo.

"It's nothing, I probably just didn't sleep well last night," Kurenai Yuhi explained casually.

Upon hearing this, Asuma immediately began chattering and asking Kurenai about her well-being, but Kurenai's mind was clearly elsewhere.

As the sun began to set and the school bell rang, Asuma eagerly leaped out of the window and raced toward the Hokage's office!

The Ninja Academy wasn't far from the Hokage Building, so Asuma arrived downstairs without much trouble.

The ninja on duty didn't stop the newcomer, seeing his appearance, but instead stood aside as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. Asuma arrived smoothly at the Hokage's office and was about to knock when a man with a square nose and a dignified face opened the door, glanced at him, and turned to leave.

Asma stared at the man's back for a while, somewhat puzzled.

"This is... the head of the Uchiha clan? What does he want with this old man? Never mind! My business is more important!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Asuma shook his head and quickly went into his office.

"Asuma? Didn't I tell you that you can't just walk into the Hokage's office?"

Asuma ignored him, simply closing the door and running to Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk, scratching his head somewhat sheepishly.

"Dad, we're about to be divided into classes. Could you put Hong in my group and assign her a great teacher to lead her?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up his pipe, intending to light it as usual, but after glancing at Asuma in front of him, he paused, put it away, and snorted coldly:

"Hmph! You're always clamoring to get rid of this old man, so why are you begging me today? Do you even know what kind of behavior this is?"

Asuma waved his hand dismissively and said:

"Hey! Old man, stop pretending. You're always hiding in your office with that crystal ball..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed a sharp rap on Asuma's head, interrupting him completely.

Hiruzen Sarutobi coughed twice, then said righteously:

"Ahem! I was just observing the recent developments in Konoha. Don't spout nonsense."
