Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 003

In the heart of the Uchiha clan’s territory, within an ancient and solemn building, an elder sat cross-legged on an exquisite tatami mat, eyes closed in contemplation, as if he had just emerged from the demanding clan affairs and was now savoring a rare moment of tranquility.

It was wartime, and the clan head, along with many clansmen, had already plunged into battle, fighting for the glory of the Uchiha clan.

And he, as the Great Elder of the Uchiha clan, bore the heavy responsibility of staying behind and overseeing all matters within the clan.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

Suddenly, a flurry of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the room. Immediately after, the paper door of the room was violently pushed open, emitting a deafening rustle.

The Great Elder’s brow furrowed slightly, then he slowly opened his eyes, a hint of displeasure and reproach in his gaze.

“Shota? What’s wrong with you? Why are you so flustered that you’ve forgotten basic manners? How many times have I told you to remain calm and composed in any situation?” The Great Elder’s voice carried a hint of authority, and the person who had arrived was indeed Uchiha Shota, Hayato’s father.

Upon hearing this, Shota felt a slight pang of apology. He had indeed been too hasty. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then respectfully spoke.

“My apologies, Father, this matter is truly exceptional, making it impossible for me to remain calm.”

However, his words were cut short by the Great Elder.

“I told you, refer to me by my title when we’re working.”

The Great Elder’s expression was serious and solemn. Shota could only helplessly close his mouth and nod slightly.

“Yes, Great Elder, the situation is this: just now, my son Hayato was born.”

Shota finally got to the point, but upon hearing him, the Great Elder’s expression tightened, and he asked worriedly, “Hayato? Why mention Hayato? Has something happened to him?”

Hayato’s name had been personally given by the Great Elder, so his first thought was that something had gone wrong with his grandson.

“No, Hayato was born healthy, he’s perfectly fine,” Shota quickly explained.

Upon hearing that his grandson was safe and sound, the Great Elder’s previously furrowed brow relaxed.

However, Shota’s words were not yet finished. He took a deep breath and continued, “Although Hayato is healthy and unharmed, what I’m about to say next, I hope you won’t interrupt me again. This matter is truly important.”

The Great Elder saw his son suddenly become serious and nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.

“Speak, I’m listening, I won’t interrupt you.”

“Alright, here’s what happened. Shortly after Hayato was born, we discovered many miracles about him. For example, when he was just born, he was actually able to stand up on his own.”

Upon hearing this, a flicker of surprise crossed the Great Elder’s eyes, but it quickly returned to calmness.

He thought to himself, being able to stand right after birth, though rare, wasn’t impossible. However, Shota’s next words completely shocked him.

“In addition, we also discovered that Hayato has awakened the Sharingan!”

Shota’s words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the Great Elder’s mind.

He abruptly stood up, eyes wide, staring at Shota in disbelief.

“What did you say! Hayato awakened the Sharingan! You didn’t see wrong, did you?”

The Great Elder’s voice trembled with excitement.

Shota nodded affirmatively, indicating that he had not seen wrong. Upon receiving the affirmative reply, the Great Elder’s heart swelled with indescribable excitement.

He could no longer suppress his emotions and hurriedly walked out, eager to see his grandson with his own eyes.

Seeing this, Shota could only quickly follow.

The two soon arrived at the door of Hayato’s room.

The Great Elder violently pushed open the paper door, only to see Misaki gently fanning Hayato. Upon seeing the Great Elder suddenly burst in, she quickly made a shushing gesture.

Only then did the Great Elder realize he had disturbed his grandson’s rest. He awkwardly turned his head to look at Shota.

His meaning was, My precious grandson is resting, why didn’t you tell me beforehand?

Shota also wore a helpless expression. He thought to himself, You, old man, rushed here before I even finished speaking, so you can’t blame me for this.

However, at this moment, the Great Elder had no mind to blame him. His gaze was completely drawn to his grandson on the soft cushion.

At the same time, the sound of the paper door startled Hayato. His body trembled slightly, and the small bubble he had been blowing, puffed up, popped with a pop.

Hayato slowly opened his eyes and saw an extra person in the room.

A middle-aged man who bore some resemblance to his father. He guessed this must be his grandfather, the Great Elder of the Uchiha clan.

The Great Elder approached Hayato with a benevolent expression and softly said, “Hayato, I’m your grandfather.”

He gently picked Hayato up, as if looking at a rare treasure. Shota and Misaki also gathered around, the three of them jointly guarding this precious little one.

The Great Elder gently swayed Hayato, trying to get him to fall asleep again. At the same time, he asked Misaki about Hayato’s condition.

“Misaki, Shota told me earlier that Hayato could stand right after birth and also awakened the Sharingan. Is this true?”

Misaki nodded slightly, answering affirmatively, “It’s true, Father. We both saw it with our own eyes.”

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder’s lips curled into a smile. He felt proud and honored of his grandson, exclaiming, “Truly worthy of being my grandson!”

Although he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he felt that his son and daughter-in-law wouldn’t lie to him, especially about such an important matter.

This was the awakening of the Sharingan right after birth.

One must know, the Sharingan was not like the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, which was as common as cabbage. Not everyone could easily awaken it.

There were still many clansmen who hadn’t awakened the Sharingan.

Uchiha clansmen who had awakened the Sharingan were qualitatively different from those who hadn’t.

Furthermore, the timing of the Sharingan’s awakening also varied greatly. The earlier the awakening, the greater the potential.

The Great Elder gazed at his grandson with a proud expression, as if he saw the future hope of the Uchiha clan.

Meanwhile, Hayato, who was enjoying the cradle service, was observing his grandfather.

It must be that the other party had learned about his awakening of the Sharingan just now.

That’s why he rushed to visit him.

It was true, awakening the Sharingan right after birth was indeed shocking.

But at this moment, Hayato had no way to comfort them with a single word.

No big deal, just basic operation.

Suddenly, he recalled that before he fell unconscious, a new interface seemed to have popped up on the system panel.

He had only caught a fleeting glimpse before passing out.

Now, he could finally take a good look. The mental exhaustion caused by awakening the Sharingan was slowly recovering.

Hayato’s mind stirred, and he opened the pop-up window. Another blue light screen filled with text appeared before his eyes…
