Chapter 838: Chapter 27: Two Years, Part 2

As for whether Asuka can become the Clan Leader of the Uchiha Clan in the future, Hakushi doesn’t really mind.

Perhaps Ruri has similar thoughts, not demanding such things.

After all, the Uchiha Clan of the Land of Demons now, except for Ruri, doesn’t lack powerful ninjas.

Plus, given Ruri’s current age, even if she remains the Clan Leader of the Uchiha Clan of the Land of Demons for another twenty years, it’s no problem.

Finding a successor to replace her in these twenty years wouldn’t be particularly difficult.

With Natural Energy and Immortal Technique, the Uchiha Clan with the Kekkeigenkai Sharingan will surely have plenty of talents to undertake the clan’s future.

As for Obito, who has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, Hakushi thought for a moment and decided against it.

Not only him, Ruri probably wouldn’t feel at ease leaving the Uchiha Clan under Obito’s management.

His strength is indeed formidable, and in terms of Sharingan awakening talent, he might even be stronger than Ruri herself, but in terms of character and responsibility, he seems somewhat lacking...

The most crucial point is, he’s willingly let Lin put a leash around his neck...

So, ideological education can’t be relaxed; it still needs to be strengthened.

Especially for the Uchiha Clan, when their ninjas awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, they become quite dangerous, with a possibility of running wild due to instability and unknown factors.

Obito once had this possibility, but after saving Lin, it was temporarily suppressed, sealing off that part of darkness.

But if Lin gets killed one day, he would still go berserk, induced by the Mangekyo’s power.

Ultimately, it’s the tragedy caused by old-era ninja education.

For the Uchiha Clan, the cruel ninja education of the old era is the root that twists the Sharingan’s power.

War... Hakushi smiled faintly.

He somewhat understands why the Akatsuki wanted to stop war in the past.

Looking back at the thousand-year history of the Ninja Realm, Hakushi feels only the sadness and helplessness confined by the era.

"But there’s something quite strange about this. Even though the emergence of Chakra and Ninja Techniques has led to frequent wars, a thousand years of constant warfare seems overly frequent, somewhat abnormal..."

Hakushi sighed.

Differences in the world cause historical tendencies to become different.

This can only be attributed to such reasons.

Time quickly came to dusk, with Aya’s small body sleeping in Hakushi’s arms, only a faint breathing sound could be heard.

"Dad, are we going home?"

Asuka finished building the castle game over there and ran towards Hakushi.

His body was dirtier, with lots of sand on his clothes and quite a bit in his shoes.

Like a mischievous little devil.

"Yes, it’s almost dinner time, let’s go back."

"Okay."

Asuka followed Hakushi, heading home.

On the way, Hakushi turned his head and asked, "By the way, Asuka, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

"The future? Hmm..." Asuka moved his little head, then smiled and answered Hakushi, "To open the world’s largest toy factory."

"But Asuka, you’re not that good at managing money, you might go bankrupt."

Hakushi asked jokingly.

Asuka’s smile faded, probably remembering some very painful memories.

"Haha, just kidding. However, if you want to make interesting toys, it requires not just effort but a lot of professional knowledge to create more fun toys."

"Dad, do you know these things?"

"If Asuka wants, I can find a teacher to teach you."

"Really?"

Asuka looked very happy.

"Of course, but for now, you need to lay a solid foundation, and ninja knowledge cannot be neglected."

Without hesitation, many scientific applications in the Ninja Realm are based on Chakra.

Chakra is closely related to everything about ninjas.

Only by understanding more about Chakra can the future path be more convenient.

Chakra can be said to be the foundation and root of ninja scientific advancement.

"But, I’m not very good at applying Ninja Techniques."

Asuka’s lack of skill in applying Ninja Techniques is relative to true geniuses.

Asuka’s ninja talent is still above average.

Compared to Ichihime, naturally, he appears more ordinary and plain.

"It doesn’t matter, if you can set foot on this path, even if your use of Ninja Techniques is a bit weaker, that’s okay. The important thing is knowledge."

Hakushi smiled.

"I understand, Dad."

"Then it’s settled, within these two years, seriously study ninja knowledge. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come and ask me."

Asuka tilted his head, still unable to clearly grasp Hakushi’s words.

But he felt he couldn’t let his father down and would work harder to learn ninja knowledge.

Hakushi looked at Asuka in thought, then towards the horizon, Ichihime... that child should have no problem in Konoha.

Konoha will eventually become the enemy of the Land of Demons. If Ichihime can understand Konoha better, penetrate Konoha’s aspects, analyze Konoha’s culture, history, and Will of Fire, it would be a boon for the Land of Demons.

Unknowingly, Hakushi started to anticipate what these children would become in the future.

Konoha 53rd year, July.

Time flies, it’s been about two years since entering Konoha Ninja School.
