Naruto: Starting With Three Tomoe Sharingan, Girlfriend Kushina

Inside the Konoha Military Police Force headquarters.

The Uchiha clan's elder, Uchiha Sōsei, was drinking tea with a heavy expression.

"Just because of a minor mistake, the Third Hokage wants to strip Kazuyo of his right to become a ninja. This is clearly an attempt to use my son as an excuse to suppress our Uchiha clan..."

"The Third Hokage's judgment is so unfair. Elder, you must stand up for Kazuyo!"

Uchiha Tō bowed deeply, his eyes red.

"I have already investigated this matter. It was Kazuyo who started the trouble by insulting someone first, and the person he insulted was one of our own clansmen."

"After getting beaten up, he still didn't restrain his temper. Instead, he gathered a few clansmen to brawl in someone else's classroom..."

"Not only did they fail to defeat their opponent, but in the end, he even dared to pull out a kunai and attempt to kill a female student by aiming at her throat..."

"Kazuyo acted too recklessly. With things like this happening, how can I help him?"

Both parties involved were members of the Uchiha clan, and this internal conflict had spread throughout the village, almost becoming a joke.

Given such a situation, it wasn't just the Hokage who was angry—even he, the de facto leader of the Uchiha clan, was deeply dissatisfied with Uchiha Kazuyo.

"But my son was the one who was injured the whole time! That girl wasn't actually harmed. The Third Hokage's punishment is far too harsh and unreasonable!"

Uchiha Tō argued loudly. He hadn't expected even his own clan elder to take this stance. Everyone seemed to think it was entirely his son's fault.

At this time, the Uchiha clan was unaware of Kushina's special identity, assuming she was just an ordinary girl.

The selection of the "Nine-Tails' vessel" was considered the village's highest-level secret by Konoha's leadership. Only a handful of people knew about it, and there was no way the Uchiha clan would be informed.

"The Third Hokage's punishment is indeed too severe. I will discuss it with him and see if we can give Kazuyo another chance to reform."

Elder Uchiha sighed. After all, Uchiha Tō was a jonin of the clan. No matter what, he couldn't let a loyal clansman feel abandoned. He had to help where he could.

Hearing this, Uchiha Tō was visibly unsatisfied.

"What about that little bastard? Kazuyo just insulted him once and got two teeth knocked out, and in the end, he was even shot in the thigh. That brat is vicious and shows no regard for his own clan. I request the clan to punish him..."

Uchiha Sōsei remained silent.

"Elder, please uphold justice for my son!" Uchiha Tō bowed again.

"Grandfather, Uncle Tō has worked diligently in the Military Police Force for years. Even if he hasn't achieved great merit, he has put in effort. If you can help him, please do."

Uchiha Fugaku, the elder's grandson and a chūnin, spoke up in support.

Having left the academy a few years ago, he was currently working in the Konoha Military Police Force.

"Over a single joke, that brat resorted to violence. He went too far. This time, our Uchiha clan was reprimanded by the Hokage and mocked by other clans. Even if he isn't entirely to blame, he must bear some responsibility."

Uchiha Fugaku continued. His words were heard and remembered by Uchiha Tō.

Uchiha Tō looked at Fugaku with deep gratitude. He never expected that the one who would finally speak up for him would be Young Master Fugaku!

Uchiha Sōsei nodded in agreement with Fugaku's words.

With just a few simple sentences, his grandson had won the heartfelt respect of an elite jonin. Uchiha Sōsei was very satisfied.

He had kept Uchiha Fugaku by his side precisely to groom him. The Uchiha clan hadn't elected a leader in many years, and he wanted his grandson to take that position.

"That woman, Asuka, took the little bastard and moved away from the clan district. It seems she holds resentment toward the Uchiha clan..."

Uchiha Sōsei sighed heavily. He believed that the reason the little bastard had violently attacked his own clansmen was due to the influence of his mother, Asuka.

"Fugaku, go call Uchiha Ken here..."

Uchiha Ken was the cousin of Uchiha Mori, making him Ryun's uncle.

Soon, Uchiha Ken entered the office. He was also a member of the Military Police Force—most Uchiha ninja worked there.

"Elder, what are your orders?"

Uchiha Sōsei gestured for him to sit and then explained the matter involving Kazuyo and Ryun.

The elder wanted him to act as a mediator, preferably convincing Asuka to bring the little bastard to apologize to Uchiha Tō's son, so this matter could be fully resolved.

"Elder, this matter..." Uchiha Ken seemed hesitant.

"What's the problem? Is there some difficulty?" Uchiha Sōsei frowned.

"That woman Asuka is hard to reason with... Forget it, I'll try my best."

Uchiha Ken ultimately accepted the task.

That night.

Uchiha Ken knocked on Ryun's door under the pretense of a visit.

"What do you want?"

Seeing who it was, Ryun didn't open the door immediately. Instead, he coldly questioned the visitor.

This man, Uchiha Ken, had never treated their family well. He had always looked down on them, and it was people like him who first started calling Ryun derogatory names.

Uchiha Mori, his younger cousin, was weak in strength and had married an ordinary woman from outside the clan. This made Uchiha Ken despise their family.

"You little brat, don't you know how to open the door when your uncle visits? Is this how Asuka raised you?"

Uchiha Ken scolded sternly.

In Ryun's memories, this man had always left a terrible impression. Now, the bastard was yelling at him the moment he arrived. Ryun had no intention of tolerating him.

"What kind of thing are you? Who even knows you?"

"Get lost. Don't come begging at our house... We have nothing to give you."

Hearing this, Uchiha Ken instantly flew into a rage.

"You disrespectful little bastard, with no manners at all..."

Before Uchiha Ken could finish, a purple-haired woman stormed out with a broom.

He swallowed the rest of his words.

"Call him that one more time and see what happens."

Asuka opened the door, holding the broom as she coldly confronted Uchiha Ken.

Though Asuka was just an ordinary person with no combat ability, her fury at this moment made even the jonin Uchiha Ken avoid her gaze.

"Asuka, can we talk inside? This concerns... Ryun..."

Uchiha Ken forced a stiff smile.

The commotion had attracted the attention of several passersby. Being blocked at the door like this was humiliating for Uchiha Ken.

"No. Our home doesn't welcome you. Don't disturb us, or I'll go straight to the Hokage and ask him to uphold justice for a widow and her child."

Asuka refused without hesitation.

Among the Uchiha clan, she despised Uchiha Ken's family the most. They had been the ones who bullied Ryun's family the most.

To prevent Ryun from growing up in an environment of exclusion, Asuka had moved away from the Uchiha district shortly after Mori's death.

If the Uchiha clan looked down on her, an outsider, and scorned Ryun for his impure hair, then she had no respect for the Uchiha clan either. She had no desire to stay among them.

Now, facing Uchiha Ken, Asuka chose to sever ties completely.
