Chapter 148 -  Satsuki Awakens the Sharingan

Fugaku Uchiha:

"Satsuki awakened the Sharingan!"

Shisui Uchiha:

"And it's already a two-tomoe Sharingan!"

Kakashi Hatake:

"Just like Obito—awakening with two tomoe right away?"

Tsunade:

"Haha. Looks like Nagi holds quite an important place in that girl's heart."

Madara Uchiha:

"Not bad. Much better than that kid who watched his whole clan get slaughtered and only awakened one tomoe."

Sasuke Uchiha:

"..."

Mikoto Uchiha:

"Satsuki awakened a two-tomoe Sharingan at such a young age… will it harm her body?"

Orochimaru:

"That won't be a problem. She trained with Nagi for an entire year. Her Yin Release chakra had already surpassed the threshold needed to awaken the Sharingan. Even reaching three tomoe would not be an issue."

Mikoto Uchiha:

"Phew… that's good to hear."

Madara Uchiha:

"Still, Obito really fell hard this time. And you two—Black Zetsu and Tobi—you're quite good at escaping."

Black Zetsu:

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. If necessary, we can simply find another person to carry out the mission."

Tobi:

"Well, I wouldn't say that. I actually like Obito quite a bit. It would be even better if he could tell me what the urge to poop feels like."

Obito Uchiha:

"..."

At first Obito felt slightly moved by the first half of Tobi's sentence.

But after hearing the second half, he was completely speechless.

The Screen Continued

Satsuki continued staring at Nagi without blinking.

Being stared at so intensely made Nagi feel somewhat uncomfortable, so he instinctively turned his head away.

Minato and the sensory unit could no longer detect the chakra of Obito's two companions.

At this point, the only option left was to see whether any information could be extracted from Obito himself.

Nearby, Hiruzen and Danzō looked at Nagi, Shisui, and Satsuki—who had just awakened her Sharingan.

Both men couldn't help but smile.

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

"Yes. It seems we no longer need to worry about Konoha's future peace."

"Regardless of what connection that boy Nagi may have with the Second Hokage, it doesn't matter. As long as he grows up safely, that's enough."

"And Satsuki awakened the Sharingan at such a young age… her potential is limitless."

Later, Minato and the others prepared to leave.

Minato walked up to Nagi.

"Nagi, do you want me to give you a ride home on the way?"

Just as Nagi was about to respond—

Satsuki suddenly grabbed his clothes tightly with her small hand.

Seeing this, Nagi could only reply,

"Thank you for your concern, Lord Fourth. But Satsuki and the others will escort me back."

Minato found the situation rather amusing.

He gently patted Nagi on the head.

"Alright, I understand. Be careful on the way back."

"And tomorrow, please come to the Hokage Office and report what happened today. If you don't want to come in person, a written report will do."

"I understand."

With that, Minato and the others escorted Obito away.

Only the Uchiha clan members and Nagi remained behind.

Yashiro, Tekka, and the others were extremely excited after learning that Satsuki had awakened the Sharingan.

However, since the Fourth Hokage had been present earlier, they hadn't dared to speak loudly.

"Congratulations, Clan Head!"

"That's right! I never expected the clan head's daughter to have such incredible talent—awakening the Sharingan at such a young age."

"And with two tomoe, no less."

"She'll definitely become extraordinary in the future."

"…."

Fugaku accepted their congratulations modestly, saying Satsuki was still too young and needed further training.

But the smile creeping onto his face betrayed how pleased he actually was.

Meanwhile, Itachi was checking on Shisui's condition.

He had heard that Susanoo consumed an enormous amount of dōjutsu.

However, Shisui shook his head.

He said he was fine—and told Itachi not to reveal this incident to others.

As for Nagi—

He looked at Satsuki, who was still leaning against him, and sighed helplessly.

"Satsuki… could you stand up first?"

"It's kind of hard for me to get up like this."

Satsuki remained silent for a moment.

Then she slowly stood up.

Nagi seized the opportunity to stand as well—

But as soon as he turned around, he realized something.

Satsuki was still gripping his clothes.

"…."

When everyone was preparing to leave, Fugaku spoke to Nagi.

"Satsuki has already told me what happened."

"Thank you for helping Shisui save her. I will have someone escort you home, and I will properly repay your kindness in the future."

Nagi replied politely.

"You're too kind, Clan Head Fugaku. Satsuki and I are classmates. Helping each other is only natural."

"Besides, I can go home by myself—"

At that moment—

Satsuki tugged at his clothes again.

"Come with me."

"…?"

Nagi blinked in confusion.

Satsuki continued calmly,

"Nagi, come back to my house with me."

"Uh… Satsuki, that really isn't necessary. I can just go home myself."

"No."

"What if that man's accomplices try to ambush you again?"

"My father and my brother are both very powerful ninja."

"If you stay at my house tonight, you'll be safe."

Hearing this—

Both Fugaku and Itachi froze.

In all these years, it was the first time they had ever heard Satsuki praise them as strong.

Yet somehow…

They felt no happiness at all.

Nagi couldn't argue with her reasoning.

Seeing him remain silent, Satsuki simply grabbed his hand and started walking toward her home.

Yashiro and the others nodded and followed.

Along the way, the Uchiha began chatting enthusiastically.

"Congratulations again, Clan Head."

"Mm. That white-haired boy is incredibly strong."

"Indeed. A bright future awaits him."

"But how much should we contribute?"

"For the clan head's daughter's wedding gift, probably this amount."

"Yeah, that sounds about right."

"I think we should add a little more."

"We'll have to drink plenty at the wedding banquet."

"Haha! With your alcohol tolerance? Don't make me laugh!"

The group gradually shifted the topic—

From congratulating Fugaku…

To discussing future marriage, wedding banquets, children, and gift money.

Fugaku and Itachi walked in silence with completely dark expressions.

Meanwhile, Shisui watched the two small figures walking hand in hand ahead of them with great amusement.

Fugaku Uchiha:

"..."

Itachi Uchiha:

"..."

Yashiro Uchiha:

"..."

Inabi Uchiha:

"..."

The Uchiha Clan:

"..."

Seeing their exaggerated gossiping expressions on the screen, the entire Uchiha clan looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Their eyes widened in disbelief.

Tsunade:

"I see… even the Uchiha clan's personalities changed."

Kakashi Hatake:

"From being strict and distant… to becoming gossip-loving and helpful. Uchiha like that would integrate easily into the village."

Minato Namikaze:

"Mm. If Kushina and I had died in that world, the Uchiha clan likely would have been fine."

Yashiro, Inabi, and the others felt somewhat embarrassed seeing themselves joking around so casually on the screen.

Yet deep down—

They couldn't help feeling a little envious.

The Screen Continued

Satsuki led Nagi back to her home.

"I'm back."

"Welcome home. Thank goodness you're both safe—"

Mikoto Uchiha froze mid-sentence.

Her daughter had just walked in—

Holding a boy's hand.

Her mind went completely blank.

After a moment, she rubbed her eyes.

Was this really her daughter?

The same stubborn girl who showed no interest in people, cared about nothing except training, and kept everyone at a distance?

Could it be…

That someone had impersonated her daughter?
