Chapter 10: Chapter 10:- Mother's Disapproval

"Then I'll go to the police force less in the future."
Now, he was someone who had big ambitions; what use was working in the Konoha Police Force? Absolutely no use.
Improving his own strength was the proper path.
Uchiha Shin blinked, secretly thinking that this brat probably just didn't want to work in the police force and was deliberately saying this.
'But forget it. If he didn't want to work in the police force, then let it be. Otherwise, he might faint again like before.'
He only had this one precious grandson and couldn't bear to send another black-haired person to the grave as a white-haired one.
"Alright, I'll talk to Uchiha Fugaku about this matter."
Ryosuke couldn't help but ask curiously, "Grandpa, can your words carry weight?"
Uchiha Fugaku was the police force captain; everything in the team was decided by him.
"Of course they carry weight. That brat Uchiha Fugaku grew up under my watch. Would he dare not listen to what I say?" Uchiha Shin suddenly shifted from a gentle demeanor to one of authority.
With that, Ryosuke felt reassured.

On the other side, Kurenai Yuhi had returned home. After a day's work, she leaned tiredly on the sofa.
Her mother immediately prepared a meal for her. Kurenai came over to eat with her mother.
Her father, Shinku Yuhi, had unfortunately sacrificed himself in the previous Nine-Tails attack to protect the village. Now, it was just the two of them depending on each other.
Thus, the burden of supporting the family financially fell mainly on Kurenai as a ninja.
While eating, her mother began speaking, "Today, Sarutobi Asuma confessed to you, didn't he? Why didn't you accept?"
"You need to know that if you can rely on the Sarutobi family, our clan can rise again, and you won't have to work so hard doing all these ninja missions."
The Third Hokage had sent someone to talk to her, asking her to encourage her daughter to get along with Sarutobi Asuma.
She had, of course, agreed. As a widow, she clearly understood how important it was to have a strong support system.
Now that the Third Hokage was in power, his son Sarutobi Asuma was undoubtedly the most powerful second generation in Konoha. The fact that he took an interest in Kurenai could only be considered her good fortune.
Upon hearing this, Kurenai's expression darkened slightly. How could she be with someone as reckless as Sarutobi Asuma? He wasn't even as good as that Uchiha.
"Mother, let's not discuss this for now. How did you know about this? You should've been home the whole time, right?"
Her mother honestly admitted without hiding it from her daughter, "The Third Hokage himself told me. He has high hopes for your relationship with Sarutobi Asuma. Do you understand what this means? It means the Yuhi clan can regain its former glory, even establishing ties through marriage with the Sarutobi clan, a prestigious family."
Hearing this, Kurenai became even more displeased. Wasn't it already modern times? Relationships were supposed to be between two people. Why did parents still have to intervene? They weren't the ones in a relationship.
Although marriage alliances could revive a family, she didn't want to achieve that through such means. She still had a sweet and dreamy longing for love.
Her mother noticed her expression and realized her daughter wouldn't agree to this for now. She sternly said, "If you don't like Sarutobi Asuma, I'll respect your choice. But you're not developing feelings for that Uchiha brat, are you?"
"If you like someone from the Uchiha clan, I absolutely won't allow it."
When the Hokage visited, he also expressed his disapproval of Kurenai having too much contact with that Uchiha boy.
Kurenai thought of that handsome Uchiha. If they truly started dating, she felt he might actually be more suitableβjust, righteous, and easy to communicate with. That alone made him better than Asuma.
But they had only met once, hardly enough to be considered acquaintances. "Mom, what are you talking about? When did I ever say I liked that Uchiha? What exactly did the Third Hokage tell you?"
Her mother, seeing her daughter's expression, believed her and felt reassured. She then continued to remind her, "Kurenai, you must remember your father, Shinku Yuhi, who died in the Nine-Tails attack."
"And the Nine-Tails attack was likely orchestrated by the Uchiha clan. If not for them, your father wouldn't have died, the clan wouldn't have declined, and we wouldn't be struggling so hard."
"So you must absolutely never develop feelings for the descendants of our enemies."
Kurenai Yuhi agreed to her mother's request; she was still very filial. Thanks to having her mother at home, her pressure was not so great.
Hearing her mother's words, her impression of the Uchiha clansman was somewhat overturned.
If the Nine-Tails attack was really caused by the Uchiha clan, then that Uchiha clansman, even if he wasn't the one who did it, was still her enemy.
Now, she could vaguely recall her father's face. Her father was very strict, but he was also very gentle to her and her mother. He was well-respected among his subordinates. How could such a person have died so young?
Thinking of this, Kurenai couldn't help but feel a bit sad and melancholic. Now, she somewhat wanted to question that Uchiha clansman and see what he had to say.

The next day, Uchiha Ryosuke didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky.
Normally, to deal with the calamity of the Uchiha clan's annihilation, people should get up early to train and improve their strength. But he was a man with dual systems.
He didn't need regular training to gain great strength.
Following his previous method, when he was mocked by Uchiha Itachi, his Sharingan directly activated to two-tomoe.
Now, he was thinking of finding someone to mock him again. In that case, would his two-tomoe Sharingan directly evolve into three-tomoe? Then, if someone mocked him again, would it directly evolve into Mangekyo?
If that happened, by the night of the Uchiha clan's annihilation, if everyone had Mangekyo Sharingan, he couldn't believe his strength would still be lower than theirs.
Now, he just wanted to go out and find someone to mock him.
Although the reputation of the Uchiha clan wasn't great, if someone were to mock him, it would have to be someone from the Hyuga clan. Who knew if they still claimed to be the strongest clan in Konoha?
The true noble clans of Konoha had always been the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan.
In summary, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan's main family had a 360-degree field of vision, could see the opponent's meridians, acupoints, and chakra flow in the body, and could penetrate objects like an X-ray, serving as a telescope to observe distant targets and as an extraordinary perceptive eye.
By using chakra, it could multiply the eye's abilities, allowing it to see objects within a radius of one kilometer, with insight surpassing the Sharingan. But that was all.
In terms of combat ability, the Sharingan was still stronger. The three-tomoe Sharingan could match the Byakugan equally. However, the Sharingan could evolve into Mangekyo, whereas the Hyuga clan had never awakened the Tenseigan.
This was the gap. The Hyuga clan couldn't awaken the Tenseigan, probably because their bloodline purity wasn't high enough. After all, the Tenseigan was on the same level as the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths.
How could the Hyuga clan's abilities awaken such an extraordinary pair of eyes?
On the other hand, Kakashi Hatake, the "50-50 ninja," fully utilized the Sharingan's abilities. The Copy Eye ability allowed him to replicate taijutsu and non-bloodline-limit ninjutsu.
And the Uchiha clan was known for their fire-style techniques, with most possessing fire chakra nature. Moreover, fire-style ninjutsu was extremely powerful. Except for the fact that it often missed the target.
This gave him some new ideas. Learning more ninjutsu would undoubtedly enhance his strength.
