==================================================
The smiles on the streets grew fewer. Laughter had hidden itself away.
Ordinary people might not know why. However, traveling merchants and wandering ronin carried whispers of bad news.
Kifu appeared in the central area of Konoha.
It was a region surrounded by long, tall walls.
A torii gate stood in the center. The word "Uchiha" was written on it. Flame fans sat on both sides of the text.
This was the clan grounds of the Uchiha clan.
They were the number one noble family in Konoha. They were one of the strongest ninja families in the history of shinobi civilization. Their status was beyond doubt.
The current Uchiha were disliked and excluded by the Konoha high-level officials. Ordinary people did not know this. The clan occupied the most central and prosperous area of Konoha.
Others only knew that the Uchiha represented the Konoha Military Police Force. They held great power. They were a noble family.
Even the vast majority of the Uchiha clan members did not know about their awkward situation in Konoha.
They simply maintained and continued the Uchiha pride.
Kifu arrived at the entrance of the Uchiha grounds. The guards asked a few simple questions. He entered the area smoothly.
A different sight greeted him inside.
The architecture was classical. Flame fan emblems were everywhere. A small internal commercial street was just as prosperous as the outside world.
In the eyes of Kifu, the Uchiha district was like a village within a village. It was a country within a country.
The Uchiha truly had the capital to be proud.
Unfortunately, such a powerful clan would one day face destruction. The culprits behind their downfall were their own people. This was true whether they acted in the shadows or in the light.
However, this had nothing to do with Kifu.
He received a lot of attention while walking down the streets of the Uchiha district.
After all, outsiders rarely entered this place.
"Kifu-senpai!!"
A figure ran fast from behind. He moved too quickly and stumbled for a few steps. He almost fell.
This reckless appearance undoubtedly belonged to Uchiha Obito.
"It really is you! Kifu-senpai, I thought I saw incorrectly." Obito looked excited.
"School ended this early?" Kifu was surprised.
"Hehe..." Obito rubbed his nose. "Today was the final exam. Of course school is over after the test."
Final exams. Kifu nodded thoughtfully.
'It seems the war is indeed not far away.'
"What was the test?"
"The Clone Jutsu."
"How did you do?"
The smile on the face of Obito stiffened. He scratched the back of his head with a troubled expression. Then he let out a dry laugh. "Haha... of course... of course I did well! I am a genius of the Uchiha clan. Our clan produces geniuses."
Kifu did not know if the Uchiha produced geniuses. However, the current Obito had nothing to do with that word.
Kifu estimated that even Guy could grind Obito into the dirt.
Obito ignored the teasing gaze and turned his head. "Kifu-senpai, why did you suddenly come here? Can I help with anything?"
"Oh. I am looking for the grandfather of Uchiha Jinghuo."
"Grandpa Feijing?"
"You know him?"
"He lives right next door to me."
**Chapter 21. Shisui.**
The corner of the Uchiha district.
There were several buildings that did not look very wealthy. This was the residence of Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Jinghuo.
Obito only had a grandmother at home. The village and the clan provided subsidies. They could live a normal life, but they were far from rich.
"Grandpa Feijing!"
Obito pushed the door open and walked right in.
The interior of the house felt cold and desolate compared to the ordinary exterior.
"It is Obito."
An old man with a hunched back walked out slowly. He had white hair and a white beard. He leaned on a vine cane.
A kind and gentle smile was on his face. However, a hint of sorrow remained hidden between his eyebrows.
"It is me, Grandpa Feijing. I brought a friend today." Obito stepped forward to help the old man.
He usually seemed mindless. However, he was a person full of kindness. In the words of Uchiha Madara, he was "filled with too much love." This was exactly why Obito would be targeted.
The Uchiha possessed a cursed bloodline. Most members were born with delicate minds. They could feel "love" more easily.
But this "love" became an obstacle for the Uchiha.
The Sharingan was known as the Eye that Reflects the Heart. When the owners were stimulated—for example, when the "love" in their hearts was destroyed—the stronger the "love" was, the greater the power produced. They would also fall into darkness more easily.
This was why the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, excluded and suppressed the Uchiha.
This was a clan that jumped between two extremes.
At this moment, Obito was the person with the most "love" in the entire Uchiha clan.
"Oh? A friend?"
Feijing looked up. His eyes seemed covered by a layer of white mist. His gaze settled on Kifu.
