Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 3 Konoha's White Fang

Regardless, Kakashi was quite happy to have won, especially since the battle was back and forth, with both sides giving their all to some extent, which increased Kakashi's sense of accomplishment.

Naturally, Kakashi did not refuse what he had promised Uchiha Tou, and even gave Uchiha Tou a sealing scroll to clean up the giant bear's corpse.

However, because Konoha's White Fang is away on a mission, Uchiha Touyu will not be able to visit him for the time being.

After parting ways with Kakashi, Uchiha Tou returned to his home, a detached house located on the outskirts of the Uchiha clan's territory.

Opening the door and stepping into the room, Uchiha Touyu glanced up at the family photo on the desk, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes.

Not long after Uchiha Hiyu awakened his Sharingan, his commoner parents died suddenly due to an "accident".

Although Fei Yu's feelings for his parents were not very deep due to his reincarnation, he was by no means indifferent. He had been holding a grudge over their accidental deaths.

However, firstly, he is currently weak, and secondly, he does not know the real reason for his parents' death. Although the Uchiha clan is highly suspected, as a mature pseudo-minor who knows Konoha Village very well, Fei Yu will not directly identify the Uchiha as the murderer.

The schemers of this world always like to brainwash ninjas through methods such as hatred. If someone deliberately uses this method to guide his hatred towards the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Touyu would not be surprised at all.

Uchiha Touyu's consistent passive performance stemmed from his inherent reluctance to become a ninja, but it also partly reflected his desire to disguise himself. He believed that if he was bad enough, no one could take advantage of him.

After staying at home for two days, on the morning of the third day, Uchiha Touyu, who was training, heard a knock at the door. He wiped his sweat and went straight to the door.

After the door opened, a white-haired boy appeared in front of Uchiha Touya; it was none other than Hatake Kakashi.

"Kakashi? What do you want with me? Has White Fang returned?"

"Great, you're lucky, your father came home last night!"

"Didn't you want to visit your father? Today is the perfect day to go!"

Kakashi, wearing a mask, spoke calmly, but Uchiha Touyu keenly sensed a hint of impatience in Kakashi's tone.

If it were someone else, they might misunderstand and think that Kakashi was being rude because of Uchiha Tou's request.

However, Uchiha Touyu knew Kakashi's character very well. At least Kakashi, who was still in his cub form, was the kind of person who kept his word and wouldn't let his emotions affect his demands.

Could it be that Konoha's White Fang failed in this mission?

This thought crossed Uchiha Touyu's mind. Judging by the time, it was about this time when Konoha's White Fang faced his first and last failed mission.

After that, Sakumo Hatake, unable to bear the rumors, committed suicide at home. In a sense, the death of Konoha's White Fang was one of the triggers for the Third Shinobi World War.

Led by Kakashi, Uchiha Tou quickly arrived at his doorstep. Kakashi knocked on the door, and after a moment, a ninja who looked somewhat tired opened the door.

This ninja was tall and had a somewhat cold and stern face. Just from his silver hair and handsome appearance, one could tell that he was related to Kakashi by blood.

He stood ramrod straight, his movements precise and refined, like a sharp blade. Only his bloodshot eyes and slightly bewildered gaze revealed his exhaustion.

The Hidden Leaf Village hasn't reached the point where rumors are rampant yet, but the failure of his only mission in his life has obviously been a significant blow to this ninja who has always maintained a perfect record.

Uchiha Touyu, who knew the future well, was also very clear that all of this was just the beginning. Soon, the rumors in Konoha Village and the accusations from other ninjas and his comrades would be the real reason why Konoha's White Fang was broken.

"Dad, this is the strange Uchiha I was telling you about!"

Kakashi was too young to notice his father's dejection, but he knew that his father must be in a bad mood after failing his mission. After a brief introduction, he fell silent.

After hearing Kakashi's words, Hatake Sakumo focused his gaze on Uchiha Tou. After examining Uchiha Tou for a moment, the White Fang of Konoha was quite surprised.

"So you're Kakashi's friend? Your physique is pretty good! These days, there aren't many Uchiha who are willing to put in the effort to build a strong foundation!"

"I've heard some rumors about the Uchiha clan, and now it seems you're not some mediocre person who just happened to awaken the Sharingan."

As the elite ninja who has carried out the most missions in Konoha, Konoha's White Fang naturally knows the Uchiha clan very well. Putting aside external factors such as personality, this clan is indeed worthy of being the number one clan in Konoha in terms of strength.

However, the Uchiha clan also has its own shortcomings, namely, its excessive pursuit of its own bloodline, which results in most Uchiha having an unstable foundation.

After all, the Sharingan is too versatile. Once the bloodline limit is awakened, it can easily copy various taijutsu and ninjutsu, and it also has a very high enhancement to genjutsu. It can be said that as long as you have the Sharingan, any Uchiha can become a ninja with no blind spots in a short period of time.

With such convenient abilities, the Uchiha clan members naturally became unwilling to painstakingly hone their taijutsu and learn ninjutsu, and instead focused more on developing their own bloodline.

However, judging from the calluses on his hands, his steady gait, and his imposing physique, it was clear that Uchiha Touyu had honed his physical body to a certain degree, a feat that was extremely rare among the Uchiha.

Such Uchiha individuals may seem like outcasts, but their actual achievements far surpass those of those who blindly pursue the Sharingan.

Without reaching the level of the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Sharingan is ultimately an auxiliary bloodline limit. People who possess the Sharingan can easily reach the pinnacle of their skills. At this point, what determines their ultimate level is their own foundation.

"Oh, please don't flatter me, senior. Kakashi is five years younger than me, and I can't even beat him. If I can't be called mediocre, then I can only be called trash!"

Uchiha Touyu chuckled, his words immediately turning self-deprecating, which made Hatake Sakumo chuckle in exasperation.

"Alright, I have heard Kakashi mention some things about you. It seems you do have some ideas of your own."

"However, your mindset is truly different from that of ordinary ninjas, let alone those Uchiha. Come to think of it, your calm and composed attitude is more suited to the ninja profession!"

Uchiha Touyu was slightly taken aback, not expecting Hatake Sakumo to say such a thing. This Konoha White Fang was quite clear-headed when it came to others, but when it came to himself, he wasn't as relaxed as he made it sound.

However, Uchiha Touyu was still concerned about Konoha's White Fang's soul, so he naturally wouldn't go around trying to comfort him. If Konoha's White Fang suddenly came to his senses and decided not to die, Uchiha Touyu would be at a great disadvantage.
