Chapter 4: Chapter 4:- Seizing Izumi
Her Mother at that time disregarded the family's opposition and married into the Senju clan.
But her Father, Unfortunately, Sacrificed Himself During the Nine-Tails Incident.
Plus, with the decline of the Senju Clan, her Mother had no choice but to take her back to the Uchiha Clan's territory.
However, this subjected them to many cold stares from the Uchiha Clan, and even some radical clansmen came to trouble them. It was this Ryosuke who helped them settle the issues.
Although his strength was quite ordinary, he was the grandson of the Uchiha Clan's elder, Uchiha Zhen. His status was not something someone as insignificant as her in the clan could compare to.
"Ryosuke-nii."
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't you need to be on duty with the Police Force?"
Uchiha Itachi looked at the two calmly.
He had no interactions with Uchiha Ryosuke, only knowing the other as an unremarkable ninja.
Uchiha Ryosuke looked at Itachi coldly.
It seemed these two had been childhood sweethearts since a young age,
But Uchiha Itachi didn't deserve it.
On the Night of the Clan Massacre, the other had been ruthless and cruel.
With his intelligence, would he not have known Uchiha Izumi was in the clan's territory?
And yet, he still slaughtered the clan.
Even such an adorable girl wasn't spared.
On the Night of the Clan Massacre, Uchiha Izumi had awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Those eyes were inevitably gouged out.
So tragic. Utterly heartless.
The Will of Fire truly caused great harm.
Moreover, such an adorable, delicate girl should be protected by him instead.
"Izumi, be with me."
Hearing these words, Izumi couldn't help but look shocked, her mouth opening wide.
She was a girl, after all. Ryosuke-nii's words sounded so much like a confession.
Still, she asked, "Ryosuke-nii, are you confessing to me?"
Ryosuke nodded.
It could indeed be considered a confession. He wanted to take her away from Itachi.
Someone like Itachi didn't deserve such a good childhood sweetheart.
When Izumi received his confirmation, She felt a bit excited in her heart. The feeling of being liked was wonderful.
Although Ryosuke was indeed a very good and very handsome person, she still liked Itachi more. Not only was he the same age as her, but he had also saved her life during the Nine-Tails Incident.
While he wasn't as handsome as Ryosuke, he was cute. But if she rejected Ryosuke in front of Itachi, would it hurt his pride? After all, Ryosuke was also a very good person.
While she was tangled in her thoughts, Uchiha Itachi spoke up from the side.
"Uchiha Ryosuke, you're going too far."
"Izumi isn't even of age yet. She won't play these love games with you."
Izumi was only 11 now, still one year away from the age of 12 to be considered an adult. In his heart, Izumi was an important friend, and he didn't want her to be with another man.
That would make him very uncomfortable.
Uchiha Ryosuke, however, said nonchalantly, "It's fine. I can wait for her to come of age."
He remembered that before the Third Ninja War, adulthood was at 12 years old, but later it changed to 16.
At that time, during the war, ninjas died in large numbers, so the village needed a larger population. Not only did 12-year-olds go to the battlefield, but they were even allowed to marry and have children.
Ryosuke still couldn't accept the rule of marrying at 12 years old. But Izumi was an excellent woman.
He couldn't let her stay with Uchiha Itachi any longer; the deeper her love, the deeper her hurt would be.
Even if he saved the Uchiha Clan, it would likely be difficult to win Izumi's heart by then.
The most important thing was that someone like Itachi, who would even kill the woman he loved, wasn't a real man.
Someone who abandoned his family and love.
Trash, scum.
Uchiha Itachi didn't expect Ryosuke to be so resolute, but he wouldn't let someone take away something precious to him.
His eyes locked onto the other man. Ryosuke didn't show any fear. Instead, his eyes stared straight at him.
He said mockingly, "You can't even protect Izumi."
"And you can? With your bottom-rung skills? You only have a single-tomoe Sharingan," Itachi retorted.
Although the Uchiha had many clansmen, those who awakened the Sharingan were few. But for someone to awaken the single-tomoe Sharingan at 16 wasn't anything remarkable.
While Itachi usually wouldn't mock others based on strength, the other had questioned his ability to protect Izumi.
He was the true genius of the Uchiha Clan, following Uchiha Shisui.
Even though he often received compliments, he wasn't arrogant.
But now, the other wanted to take something from him, making him furious.
Just as Uchiha Ryosuke, powered by his dual systems, was about to retort,
A mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
[Your Sharingan has felt insulted. Accelerating cultivation to awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan.]
The words Ryosuke was about to say were swallowed back. Hearing the system's voice in his mind, he was ecstatic. 'So this was how the auto-cultivation activated?'
He faintly felt an electric current flow through his eyes, and both of them became sharper.
Overjoyed, a smirk appeared on his face. This auto-cultivation system seemed reliable after all.
Now, he wanted to awaken the two-tomoe Sharingan immediately.
With a slight focus of his eyes, his pupils instantly turned red, and two black tomoe appeared in each of his eyes.
At this moment, Ryosuke felt his vision become much clearer. Even the legs and eyes of a small insect flying in the air were distinctly visible.
'As expected of the Sharingan, famous for its observation ability.'
Itachi was slightly surprised by the display of the Sharingan.
He remembered that Uchiha Ryosuke had only awakened the single-tomoe Sharingan before.
Now, it was the two-tomoe. Could this be why the other thought he couldn't protect Izumi?
But the other was underestimating him too much.
He had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan. Just as he was about to activate it, Izumi, standing by, saw the two about to fight, and her heart tightened with worry.
