Uchiha Fangyuan's aptitude is Grade A!!!
The clan leader accepted him as his last disciple!
When the news reached the Uchiha Tundra's mansion, my aunt's fat body was trembling.
"How could it be! How is it possible! That little bastard... I don't believe it! He must have faked it! I want the guards to arrest him."
She would never have imagined that this nephew, who had been kicked out of the house and looked down upon by everyone, could turn around so dramatically and reach a position that her entire family could not attain.
"Alright, alright. Just be quiet for a while. Shu'er is still seriously injured and it's giving me a headache. The doctor said that there are large areas of burns on his face. Even if he is cured, there will be scars. Oh..."
Uchiha Dongtu's face was gloomy. He pressed his temples, his tone revealing the deep helplessness of a middle-aged man.
"My precious son!!! Grandpa, you must help Shu'er. It must be Fang Yuan who provoked Shu'er, so he did such an extreme thing."
The aunt burst into tears and wished she could bite a piece of flesh off Fang Yuan.
Uchiha Tundra ignored her and was lost in thought. With his son's poor performance, his reputation as a genius had plummeted, which significantly impacted his status within the family. The remaining two nephews were either already in dire straits or unreliable. The only person Uchiha Dongtu could count on now was Uchiha Fangzheng.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Dongtu slowly stood up with a stern face and walked out the door.
"Grandpa! Grandpa? Where are you going?"
His aunt quickly grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked.
"I'll go see Zheng'er. Also, from now on, you must not gossip about Uchiha Fangyuan outside. Things are different now, and our family may have to rely on this nephew in the future. If you let me know that you can't control your mouth, I will help you tear it off!"
Dongtu gave his aunt a cold look, shook off her pig-like arm, and walked away.
At the Fugaku Residence, everyone climbed out of the underground cave in a panic. Fugaku solemnly ordered several guards to seal the trial site again. Although the stone sculpture of Chisato's ancestor's Sharingan had been shattered, the underground cave was vast, and it was inevitable that other dangers were lurking.
After today's events, Fugaku would never dare to jeopardize the safety of the new generation of Uchiha again.
"Elders, arrange for the injured to receive treatment. For those who did not participate in the trial and whose injuries were less severe, Elder Huo will arrange the rest of the exams for them."
"That's it, let's go first."
Uchiha Fugaku pressed his eyebrows and quickly explained everything. He then turned to Fang Yuan in the crowd and said:
"Fang Yuan, please stay for dinner later."
"Yes, Chieftain."
Fang Yuan's face was calm, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Quan, who had originally wanted to celebrate Fang Yuan's success with him, had to resign herself to retaking the exam with several other children who had missed it.
"Are you hurt?"
At this moment, a man stepped in front of Quan as he followed the crowd out of the mansion.
Quan was surprised. She raised her head and saw the figure in front of her clearly:
"It's Itachi-san."
"Well, it looks like you're not hurt, which is for the best."
Itachi said warmly.
"Thank you for your concern. I remember you didn't take the exam either. Are you going to follow Lord Huo now?" Quan asked chattily.
To be honest, Izumi was not a stranger to Itachi. She often encountered him at his meatball shop, where he would always order a dozen skewers of three-color meatballs and a milk stick.
How much does this guy like sweets?
Izumi couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. Later, she learned that most of the three-colored balls were actually for Itachi's friend, Shisui's crows. As for milk sticks, they were Sasuke's favorite.
"Sasuke is still young, and he always likes to grind his teeth when eating. That kind of hard food is too harsh for children. Sweet milk bars are very good."
Whenever Itachi spoke about his brother, he always had a kind expression on his face. This was the first time Uchiha Izumi realized what a brother complex looked like.
However, despite their sibling bond, Fang Yuan and his younger brother, Fang Zheng, seemed very friendly and respectful towards each other. Quan sometimes struggled with whether, as Fang Yuan's best friend, she should help ease the tension between the brothers.
"I'm in good condition and can continue with the exam. If you're not feeling well, I can report to my father for you."
Itachi's words interrupted Izumi's thoughts.
Quan shook her head and suddenly noticed that Fang Yuan had disappeared from view. She was a little stunned.
"Fang? ... Fang Yuan-san!"
Quan finally saw Fang Yuan's back disappearing into the crowd and walking towards the depths of the mansion. She waved her hand angrily.
"He left without even saying hello; Fang Yuan-san is really something..."
"What kind of person is Fang Yuan? Miss Quan, are you familiar with him?"
Itachi's eyes followed Fang Yuan. He himself had not anticipated getting information about Fang Yuan from Quan.
For some reason, from the first moment Itachi saw Fang Yuan, he felt that this person might become his lifelong rival. Perhaps it was Fang Yuan's demeanor towards his younger brother that made Itachi feel unsettled.
Itachi glanced at Uchiha Izumi, whose eyes were full of admiration for Fang Yuan. He felt unexpectedly empty inside.
"Um...ah? Miss Izumi? Itachi-san, we are still children, and such a title is a bit too formal. You can just call me Izumi."
Quan smiled and said:
"As for Fang Yuan-san, he and I grew up together, trained together, shared lunch boxes, and visited the waterfall behind the shrine together. To me, he is my best friend!"
"Fang Yuan's strengths are rationality, intelligence, restraint, gentleness, and benevolence..."
Quan introduced Fang Yuan's qualities in detail to Itachi, describing him as the most perfect person in the world.
With hands on her hips and her ponytail swaying, she proudly declared herself the number one Fang Yuan fan in the ninja world.
"Ahem... The team ahead has gone far away. Quan, let's follow them."
Itachi did not refute Izumi's praise of Fang Yuan. He gave her the utmost respect.
Everyone has their favorite things in their hearts, and there is no need to challenge other people's preferences. For Itachi, his younger brother, Sasuke, was the most precious treasure his mother had given him.
