Chapter 122 Uchiha's Determination
What the hell?
Open your eyes?
Who opened their eyes?
Uchiha?
The people present at the time were stunned.
Ordinary people are fine, their understanding of ninjas is still superficial, such as "Uchiha has the Sharingan, which is very powerful" and "Isn't it natural for the Hidden Mist Village to use water jutsu?"
But it's different with ninjas.
That's Uchiha!
The one who opened his eyes was the Uchiha among the Uchiha!
It’s open now???
The focus of the scene suddenly changed.
——The sugar syrup competition is exciting, but there are champions every year.
But the Uchiha with his eyes opened is different.
There may only be this one chance in a lifetime to see Uchiha open his eyes. If you miss it, won’t you regret it for the rest of your life?
Everyone's attention was on the young man on the field who was completely unaware that he had opened his eyes and was still doing his best to shape his work.
Not just other ninjas.
Even the Uchiha ninjas were the same - because of Uchiha Fugaku's importance to Ugetsu, there were quite a lot of Uchiha responsible for security around the stadium.
Therefore, they were hit the hardest.
As Uchiha, they understand the importance of Kaigan to Uchiha better than anyone else.
I also understand the difficulty better.
Otherwise there wouldn't be so many Uchiha who couldn't possess a pair of Sharingan until their death.
But this…
It’s open now?
No, what did you do?
Or is there some secret in the syrup that they don’t know about?
In addition to such a big matter, Uchiha Fugaku was of course called over as soon as possible.
Although his mind was still in a mess.
When he first heard 'your son's eyes opened', his first reaction was that something had happened to Itachi, or that he had gone on some mission.
Uchiha Fugaku had this realization ever since he sent Itachi to Konoha instead of keeping him in the Konoha Guard Force.
He followed the man quickly, asking questions as he went.
"Is Itachi okay? How is he now?"
"No...it wasn't Itachi who opened his eyes, it was your second son, Master Sasuke."
oh.
It turned out to be Sasuke...
That's okay...
etc?
When he realized what the other party said, Uchiha Fugaku slipped and almost fell.
"Who are you talking about?"
"Master Sasuke."
The ninja who came to report the news thought he had just spoken too quickly.
"Master Sasuke has opened his eyes."
Sasuke???
Open your eyes???
These are two words that don’t go together at all!
Didn't he go to participate in the sugar syrup competition hosted by Miss Yu Yue?
What could possibly happen?
Uchiha Fugaku hurriedly regained his balance, thus avoiding the horrific rumor that the Uchiha clan leader slipped and fell off the roof.
——If that were the case, wouldn't people go crazy and build a lot of weird eaves to "restrict the Uchiha"?
When Uchiha Fugaku arrived at the stadium.
The stands outside the stadium are already over capacity.
In addition to the normal spectators, the others were ninjas who came from all over to watch the fun and see something new.
After all, this is Uchiha's eye-opening.
What if we can learn the secret of the Sharingan from it?
Although everyone knows that the possibility is very small, but - what if?
After all, this is the first time that Uchiha has demonstrated his eye opening in public.
The entire competition venue became like a market, crowded with people.
But unlike the market, no one made any sound here.
Everyone stared quietly at the young man who was concentrating on completing his work on the field.
Even the host, Anko Mitarashi, was confused and forgot to give the explanation.
...It can’t be said that I forgot.
After such a shocking accident, what else can she explain?
You can't explain the story of Uchiha opening his eyes, right?
Fortunately, people didn't pay attention to the commentary at that time, so no major accident like "host error" occurred.
However, the unusual movements outside the field did not affect the performance of the players on the field.
People are immersed in their own emotions.
——Those who have failed are thinking about what to do in the future.
As for those who have not failed, they are still concentrating on completing their work. Why would they raise their heads because of such a small movement from the outside world?
Especially Uchiha Sasuke, the person involved.
He had no idea what was happening to him.
Only
I feel that my vision is clearer and more detailed than ever before, and every detail is clear to me.
The thoughts in his mind were exceptionally clear because of his extremely detailed vision and absolute control over the changes in the syrup.
Every move is under control.
In order to maintain this hard-earned special feeling, he was unwilling to waste even 0.1 seconds. Not to mention looking up, even taking a long breath felt like a waste of time.
Just like that, the competition finally came to the final sprint stage.
Everyone's work is basically completed, with only the final modifications and remediation left.
Only then did Uchiha Sasuke finally take the luxury of taking a little time to breathe.
He took two long, deep breaths.
Although I feel a little dizzy and my hands and feet are a little weak.
But no problem, just a little dizziness.
He is a ninja, of course he can overcome it.
I was using a bamboo stick to outline the last bit of the edge when I heard the host announce 'the game is over'.
The boy, who still had baby fat on his face, looked up with a smile, and then... he fell straight down with a smile on his face.
"Sasuke!"
"Quick! Medical ninja, get up here!"
It is difficult for a young body to bear the negative effects of opening the eyes, not to mention that Uchiha Sasuke completed the second half of the syrup production without knowing it.
Fainting at this time is a dual manifestation of talent and will.
This made many ninjas who knew the burden of the Sharingan stand in awe.
Even though he had just opened his eyes and had only one magatama, he did not use any ninjutsu or take any drastic actions.
But it is also remarkable that such delicate operation can be maintained for so long.
Amid the confusion and discussions of the other contestants, Uchiha Sasuke was carried away.
Uchiha Sasuke single-handedly rewrote the history of the Sugar Syrup Competition and created two unprecedented records.
One is the first contestant to open his eyes in the sugar syrup competition (this is probably difficult for anyone to surpass).
One was the first contestant who fell on the field with a smile on his face.
These two records will probably be hot topics that people talk about for a long time to come.
——If there is also micro-X or push X here.
I'm afraid it will become a hot search.
The person involved fell down.
But the sugar syrup competition and the eye-opening events will not end here.
"The judging of the competition proceeded as normal."
Yu Yue came out urgently to take charge of the work.
"I'll leave Sasuke to you Uchiha - you should have corresponding solutions, right?"
"Please rest assured about that."
Uchiha Fugaku nodded.
From the moment he arrived, he was already arranging the work.
Including investigating the crowd at the scene and protecting Sasuke.
Although it was impossible to keep the secret with so many people around, the Uchiha were not prepared to keep hiding it under the circumstances.
They are just following standard procedures and are prepared to guide public opinion a little.
—But if someone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do something to the young Uchiha who had just opened his eyes, then you couldn't blame them for being rude.
"I'm at ease with you guys doing the job."
The staff who received the instructions began to execute the orders quickly as if they had found a backbone.
The most important thing is of course the judging work.
Although many people had become distracted due to the previous accident, it was the final after all, and the finished product was still very spectacular.
For example, the 'Desert Star' made by the Sand Village ninjas that sails in the sand - in addition to the very realistic sand, the structure inside the Desert Star is also restored one-to-one.
Not just the large facilities and passengers, but even the snacks and fruit plates on the table.
It was so detailed that it was outrageous - many people even thought of the first year's champion 'Red Sand Scorpion'.
Some people even shouted "The Sand Village has successors."
Another example is the underwater world created by the Hidden Mist Village.
Corals, schools of fish and starfish on the seabed, although only a corner and the content is not that rich, it also shows people a vivid underwater world.
Of course, the most anticipated works are those of Deidara and Uchiha Sasuke, who opened his eyes during the game.
The former made a more than one-meter-high Iwagakure Village. Considering Deidara's height at that time, this was really a huge work.
Although the entire layout is not shown (it is confidential and cannot be shown), the size, coupled with the time limit - even if only the outline is shown, it is an amazing and exquisite technique.
And it's not just Iwagakure Village, there's even a rainbow made of syrup on the top of the mountain. The rainbow made with syrups of different transparencies can even be seen in different colors under the sun.
It's like really catching a rainbow
It was fixed here.
"Wow!"
“That’s amazing!”
People thought it was amazing to see the previous Desert Star and Underwater World.
I never expected that there would be a work that even took lighting into consideration.
That’s right!
Master Deidara is so amazing!
Deidara raised his chin high in response to people's praise. He was a conceited person to begin with, and instead of being humble or shy when faced with people's praise, he became even more excited.
Praise! Praise more! Praise more!
Compared to others, this is undoubtedly a work of great skill and design.
"Where's the red-eyed kid?"
Of course, what people are most curious about is the work of the Uchiha kid who opened his eyes.
That was made by the Sharingan, what’s so powerful about it?
Soon, people saw the work of Uchiha Sasuke.
It is different from most works that aim for great heights.
Uchiha Sasuke's work is a long street.
"This is Uchiha Street!"
People who have been there have recognized the round fan logos on the walls.
“Wow!”
That’s right, Uchiha Sasuke made the Uchiha Street that he was most familiar with.
He originally wanted to use it as the venue for the tasting conference - after all, this was where he had worked personally and he was familiar with every corner. However, due to a mistake, part of the syrup failed to be shaped in time and collapsed.
This was a mistake, but after opening his eyes, he had a new idea.
He made the places blocked by the collapsed molasses into eaves.
Then the Uchiha's iconic round fan was painted on the wall.
With his eyes open, he became more and more adept at doing things, and more and more ideas came into his mind.
Compared to the food tasting event where he had only worked for a while, Uchiha was the place he was most familiar with and could even sketch out with his eyes closed.
"But... is that it?"
Of course, they are not saying that they don’t like Uchiha Street. In fact, this Uchiha Street is really quite exquisite and beautiful.
only……
As an Uchiha work that opened my eyes on the spot, I always felt like something was missing.
Maybe it just feels like it doesn't meet expectations.
After all, that's Uchiha, and he has the Sharingan.
Just
While people were struggling, Uchiha Itachi said "Excuse me" and took a step forward.
He picked up his brother's work, turned it around and put it down again.
!!!
"ah!!!"
People exclaimed.
"Is it snow? It must be snow!"
From a different angle, 'Uchiha Street' shows a different look.
Although it was still Uchiha Street, silver 'white snow' had accumulated on the roofs and walls.
Uchiha Sasuke mixed the silvery-white syrup into it. It seemed that at a special angle it would look like piled up falling snow.
That's right!
As expected of Uchiha!!!
Compared to Deidara who only used the rainbow part, he also used the light.
Uchiha Sasuke, the 'Uchiha Street', is obviously more skilled.
People were convinced.
So, at this time when Uchiha Sasuke was unconscious, his work won the championship in the junior group of the Sugar Syrup Competition amid the cheers and amazement of the people.
——That’s cause for celebration.
At least those horrific scenes that he had imagined in his mind before would not appear.
Uchiha Sasuke's journey in the sugar syrup competition ended in such an unexpected way.
But the consequences and impacts brought about by his opening of his eyes have just begun.
First up, of course, is the Uchiha.
This is an unprecedented, unheard of, and even unimaginable way to open your eyes.
Let alone anyone else.
Uchiha himself has never experienced this.
Not to mention seeing it, I've never even heard of it.
If someone had said in the past that the Uchiha would open their eyes because of an entertaining game, they would definitely use a Fire Style to throw a fire escape at the other party to "wake up their brains."
What are you dreaming about?
If you dare to joke like this in front of Uchiha, you must be tired of living.
But now, it's really happening.
If the medical ninja hadn't diagnosed that Uchiha Sasuke had expended too much energy and strength opening his eyes and was in urgent need of rest, they would really have woken him up and asked for details.
I have to ask, this is too important and too bizarre.
But even when the person concerned was not there, the Uchiha were not idle.
Almost all the Uchiha who had a say came to this meeting.
They want to discuss how to unify their external statements - although
It's Uchiha's business, but with so many Kage present, it's inevitable that they'll ask a few questions.
There has to be a unified statement.
Of course, the most important thing is to find out the reason why Uchiha Sasuke opened his eyes.
After all, this is the most unique way of opening Uchiha's Sharingan since records began.
And although it was outrageous, it seemed so painless - at least it was much better than the death of a loved one, or the despair on the battlefield.
Even though it's a bit.....in public, it doesn't matter, they are Uchiha, there's nothing to be afraid of.
So people started asking about Uchiha Fugaku and his wife.
"What has he eaten recently?"
"How do you sleep? How many hours a day? Do you wake up in the middle of the night?"
"Have you been to any special place? Or done anything special?"
"What about medicine? Have you used any medicine or any other ninja tools?"
——Of course not.
In fact, the Uchiha Fugaku couple still don’t feel real.
After all, it's an eye-opener.
He had no illness or pain, but he opened his eyes... It felt like he went to a lottery shop to change some coins, and ended up getting a multi-million dollar jackpot hit directly in the face.
Although from now on, they didn't even leave the house, the big prize fell directly from the sky...
Oh, that's not right.
Sasuke went out.
He worked as a temporary worker at Ugetsu Store and participated in a sugar syrup competition.
If we must say something different recently, it is that Uchiha Sasuke has done these two things recently.
Uchiha Fugaku said this.
There was nothing to hide. After all, it was Shisui who suggested that Sasuke go to help.
“——How is this possible?”
"That's right, this connection is somewhat..."
"I also……"
Although reason told the Uchiha people that this had nothing to do with opening their eyes - after all, these were two completely unrelated things.
But their voices of rebuttal were getting weaker and weaker.
after all.
“That’s really eye-opening…”
Many of them have not yet opened their eyes even at this age.
"yes……"
Some people's responses also became absent-minded.
After all, it’s an eye-opener, right?
My own children/brothers/sisters haven’t opened it yet.
Do all the impossible, then what's left at the end... isn't it the only answer?
No matter how bizarre or unreasonable it seems.
At this point, it’s not a question of whether they agree or not.
But reality has slapped them in the face, and they have no choice but to admit it.
When the people present were discussing it again, they all seemed to be out of focus.
Obviously everyone has that little idea.
When the meeting was over, people walked away quickly—or not so quickly.
Several elders came up to Uchiha Fugaku and surrounded him:
"As the clan leader, you must understand, right, Master Fugaku?"
"That's right, Master Fugaku will definitely be able to solve it!"
Faced with people's reserved and expectant expressions, Uchiha Fugaku remained silent.
...What do I know?
What to solve?
I don’t understand anything myself.
Although it was his son who opened the eyes, he was not there, right?
He was even the last one to arrive at the scene.
But now that things have come to this, he can no longer say "no".
He could only shoulder the burden of being the head of the Uchiha clan.
"I'll find out more."
No one knows whether he can succeed or not, but he will definitely do what he should do.
I can't fall asleep tonight.
Although the sugar syrup competition for the junior group is over.
But the sugar art competition is not over yet.
After all, in addition to the junior group, the sugar syrup competition also has a youth group.
Add in the wagashi-making competition and other things, and there's enough to fill three days.
It can even be said that the youth group competition is the real highlight - compared to children ten years old and under who are not yet in their best condition, the operations of the young contestants who are at the peak of their experience are the most exciting and valued.
This time, because of Uchiha Sasuke's opening of the door, people have attached greater importance to and have higher expectations for the youth group competition .
The stands were packed like never before.
Even the mobile salesmen at Yuyue Store felt they had no idea where to start.
...Although this direction of expectation is somewhat strange.
'The Uchiha in the boys' group has his eyes opened, so will the youth group also have them?', 'If there is no Uchiha, then it's okay if one opens his Byakugan', 'It's okay if other bloodline limits suddenly explode'.
Compared to the expectations of following the rules.
Of course, unplanned surprises are more attractive.
Listening to people's discussion, the ninjas also had mixed feelings.
——It’s not so easy to awaken the bloodline limit.
"If it is really so easy to get, how can it be called 'precious'?"
Someone tried to reason.
But he was choked back the next second.
"But didn't that little Uchiha open his eyes? The Sharingan, that's a very precious bloodline limit, right?"
People trying to reason: ...
How the hell was he going to refute this?
Because the influx of spectators and ninjas far exceeded the plan, the original plan was no longer applicable.
As the organizer, Yu Yue was naturally also present on the scene.
After the pre-match preparation meeting, people filed out and rushed to their posts.
No matter what happened before, this is a big event for Konoha and Ugetsu Store. We can't let it go because of the previous incident.
The one lost was their own.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yu Yue prepared to return to her seat.
But when he turned around, he found that Uchiha Fugaku and his deputy, who were supposed to go back to take charge of security, had not left. Instead, they were still standing there, as if they had something to say.
Ugetsu turned and gave Uchiha Shisui a questioning look .
What's going on?
Uchiha Shisui who was 'asked' was also a little confused.
Obviously, they didn't expect there was anything that would require these two to stay.
Seeing that questioning Uchiha Shisui yielded no results, Ugetsu had no choice but to turn his attention back to the two of them and take the initiative to ask questions.
"Anything else?"
Uchiha Fugaku and his deputy looked at each other, then coughed lightly:
"Excuse me……"
"Um?"
"Ms. Yu Yue, do you need any more help?"
……ah?
Noticing Ugetsu's confusion, Uchiha Fugaku's face turned red.
After all, it was his first time asking for help from others, and he was quite embarrassed.
But as the patriarch, he must do anything that is good for his people.
What’s the big deal if I lose a little face?
"Well, I mean, Miss Yu Yue is so busy all day, so she must be short of manpower."
Ugetsu narrowed his eyes.
How does she feel...
"so what?"
"That's right... you see, we Uchiha are all extremely talented people. Maybe we can help Miss Ugetsu with her worries."
Rainy month...
Yu Yue's mind went blank for a moment.
What's the meaning?
Why are there still people who are willing to take the initiative to help others do work?
If her understanding was correct, that was what Uchiha Fugaku meant.
"Our people have the ability and time, and Miss Yu Yue needs manpower. Isn't this a very good match?"
Ugetsu looked at Uchiha Shisui again.
——Do you understand what your clan leader means?
Why do I feel like there's something wrong with him?
Uchiha Shisui was also confused.
The Uchiha clan does have many outstanding talents, but aren’t they all serving in the Konoha Guard Force?
And everyone is very busy.
When he went back earlier, he heard someone crying and complaining that he couldn't finish his work and that he had worked overtime more than ten or twenty times in the past two months.
How come when it comes to Patriarch , it becomes 'everyone has plenty of time'?
He looked towards the Uchiha's deputy.
I thought that even if Lord Fugaku had a temporary mental problem, the deputy should be able to stop him, right?
Isn't the position of 'deputy' meant for this?
Unexpectedly, the deputy not only did not refuse, but also went a step further:
"Ms. Yu Yue, what do you think? If necessary, I can transfer someone to take up the post today, how about that?"
The deputy looked attentive.
It seemed as if he would pull the person over on the spot as long as Yu Yue nodded.
Wherever there is abnormality, there must be something wrong.
Although it seemed like a piece of cake, Yu Yue was still very cautious.
"I have to work overtime here."
"Understand, understand." Before Uchiha Fu could speak, his assistant immediately stepped forward and said, "Business is busy, isn't it reasonable to work overtime?"
?
"Besides, working overtime is good. Working overtime is exercise. It's best to work more overtime."
Only by working more and trying more... can you get the secret to opening your eyes.
They are just afraid that Miss Yu Yue will not let them work and will not give them any opportunities.
Why would I worry about working overtime?
Is this okay?
Although they are old partners, the situation is so strange that Yu Yue still feels it is better to be cautious.
"As for the salary..."
"No." Uchiha Fugaku finally found an opportunity.
"This is an opportunity for the tribe members to train themselves, how can you talk about wages?"
Not only do they not have to pay, they can even pay for it themselves - if they can really open their eyes, they are willing to pay for it for everyone!!
