After Uchiha En returned to the Uchiha Clan, he first went to see Uchiha Shin, then visited several members of the Third Squad of the Police Force who had been sent back to the clan due to injuries sustained on the battlefield, and finally went to the training ground to find Shisui.
After more than a year apart, Uchiha Shisui had grown considerably taller, and his Chakra volume had also increased significantly compared to a year ago.
This increase was much greater than the natural increase in Chakra volume, leading Uchiha En to guess that Shisui must have awakened the Sharingan.
Normally, the Chakra of Uchiha Clan members increases after they awaken the Sharingan. Uchiha En was an exception due to the word game.
After Uchiha En stood beside the training ground for about five minutes, Shisui, who was focused on his training, finally noticed him.
Shisui's figure then vanished from his spot and instantly reappeared in front of Uchiha En.
"En-senpai!"
"Your Body Flicker Technique training is going well. When I was your age, I couldn't use the Body Flicker Technique so smoothly." Uchiha En said with a smile.
"It's all thanks to En-senpai's excellent teaching."
"The master leads the way, but practice depends on the individual. I only taught you the most basic things; your excellent mastery of the Body Flicker Technique is the result of your own hard work.
Speaking of which, Shisui, your Chakra volume is growing quite fast. Have you awakened the Sharingan?"
Shisui nodded, closing and opening his eyes, revealing the crimson Single Tomoe Sharingan in his pupils.
"En-senpai, have you already awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan now?" Shisui asked.
Uchiha En smiled and activated his Sharingan as well. Seeing the Three Tomoe in Uchiha En's pupils, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but exclaim, "It's the Three Tomoe! En-senpai, you are incredible!"
"It's not that I'm incredible; it's that on the battlefield, you have no choice. Only by continuously growing stronger can you survive."
Shisui nodded, appearing to understand yet not fully grasping the meaning.
"By the way, En-senpai, after awakening the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, have you gone to learn the Sharingan's exclusive Genjutsu?"
"Not yet. I only returned to the village today, so I haven't had time."
"Perfect then, I'll go with you!"
"Alright, let's go together then!"
Afterward, Uchiha En and Uchiha Shisui arrived together at the center of the Uchiha Clan compound.
This was the home of the Uchiha Clan Head and the three elders.
Currently, only one Uchiha Clan Elder remained in the compound; the Clan Head and the other two elders had gone to the battlefield.
Speaking of which, this was Uchiha En's first time visiting the center of the Uchiha Clan compound. Previously, as a Ninja Academy student, he wasn't qualified to attend the clan meetings.
In contrast, Shisui appeared very familiar with the place. Along the way, Shisui even introduced Uchiha En to some details about the Uchiha Clan compound.
The two chatted as they walked and soon arrived in front of a quaint, old-fashioned residence.
"Elder Yu, are you home?" Shisui called into the house.
A moment later, a woman who looked to be in her early thirties slid open the residence's wooden door.
The woman had golden hair. Uchiha En also noticed that the woman had a sealing technique applied to her Chakra, indicating she was clearly not a member of the Uchiha Clan.
"Young Master Shisui, Lord Yu is waiting for you in the study." The woman said respectfully while kneeling by the doorway.
"Aunt Keiko, please lead us inside!"
"Yes, Young Master Shisui."
The woman led the way and escorted Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha En to the entrance of the study.
"Lord Yu, Young Master Shisui has arrived."
"Come in!" A hoarse male voice came from inside the room.
Hearing this, the woman slowly slid open the study door.
Sitting behind the desk was a middle-aged man who appeared to be around 50 years old, holding a book and reading it with great interest.
"Keiko, you may leave now!" Uchiha Hane said without raising his head.
Keiko nodded in acknowledgment and slowly withdrew from the room.
"Shisui, why do you have time to visit me today?" Hane asked, setting down the book.
"En-senpai needed to see you, and I wanted to spend more time with En-senpai, so I followed along."
"En-senpai? Is that Uchiha En, the one who taught you the Body Flicker Technique?"
Shisui nodded.
Only then did Uchiha Hane turn his attention toward Uchiha En.
"Oh? That Chakra volume... Kid, have you actually awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan?" Uchiha Hane asked in surprise after a moment.
Hearing this, Uchiha En silently activated his Sharingan.
Uchiha Hane looked at the Three Tomoe in Uchiha En's pupils, his expression slightly moved. "Kid, how old are you?"
"Twelve."
"Twelve years old! Young— *cough* *cough*! En, the fact that you awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan at twelve years old means you rank in the top five throughout the history of our Uchiha Clan." Uchiha Hane said with a look of astonishment.
Uchiha Hane actually left something unsaid here: according to the records in the clan literature, most Uchiha Clan members who awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan before the age of fifteen later awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The Uchiha Clan had not seen a Mangekyo Sharingan appear for many years. If Uchiha En could awaken the Mangekyo, it would undoubtedly be a huge boon for the Uchiha Clan.
Thinking this, Uchiha Hane suppressed his inner excitement and asked Uchiha En, "En, are you here because you need help with some difficulty?"
"Elder Yu, I heard that as long as one awakens the Three Tomoe, they can learn the Sharingan's exclusive Genjutsu. I came here because I want to learn these Genjutsu."
Hearing this, Uchiha Hane opened a drawer, took out a scroll, and tossed it to Uchiha En.
"These are all the Sharingan's exclusive Genjutsu. Use your Sharingan to record them, and then you can slowly practice them on your own."
Uchiha En took the scroll, his expression somewhat strange. Was the Sharingan's exclusive Genjutsu really so easy to obtain? Was it because he had demonstrated a certain level of talent?
"Elder Yu, these Genjutsu must be quite precious, right?" Uchiha En asked tentatively.
"I wouldn't say they're that precious! The Genjutsu in this scroll can only be used after awakening the Three-Tomoe Sharingan. Even if clan members who haven't awakened the Three Tomoe, or ordinary people, get the scroll, they won't be able to learn the Genjutsu inside."
"I see."
"I personally am not very skilled in Genjutsu, so I can't help you with Genjutsu training. But I remember, En, you were also assigned to the Land of Bears battlefield, weren't you?
I have a junior, Uchiha Cai, who is also on the Land of Bears battlefield. Her proficiency in Genjutsu is excellent; you can ask her for guidance.
Tell her my name, and she will certainly teach you well," Uchiha Hane said with a smile.
"Cai-senpai and I have a good relationship. When I return to the battlefield, I will definitely seek her guidance often."
"Is that so! That's good. By the way! En, if you need any help, you can come find me anytime. I will definitely do my best to assist you."
"Thank you, Elder Yu. If I truly encounter any difficulties, I will certainly come to you."
