Uchiha's flies : Descendants are Born

After descending the mountain, Haruto decided to return to the Uchiha clan. On his way back, he passed by the training ground and noticed Sasuke practicing with a few children.

Upon closer inspection, Haruto saw that the "training" was nothing more than Sasuke being thoroughly beaten. The children opposing him were none other than Yamanaka Feng, Aburame Togen, Sai, and Shin—young prodigies from Root, raised with far harsher methods than the typical shinobi.

Sasuke, who was often praised as a genius in the academy, couldn't even land a blow against these Root-trained peers. His fiery spirit, however, remained undeterred.

"Damn it!" Sasuke growled as he stumbled to his feet. Despite his swollen face and battered body, his determination burned brightly. "Come at me again!"

Aburame Togen glanced at Sasuke with his usual stoic expression. "We've trained enough for today. If this continues, you'll end up in the hospital."

"No!" Sasuke shouted, clenching his fists. "I want to get stronger—stronger than you, stronger than him, stronger than everyone!"

He launched himself at Togen with all his might, only for Togen to easily sidestep the attack. Sasuke's overextension caused him to tumble to the ground yet again.

"You're too impatient," Togen remarked, shaking his head. "You lack the skill to even make me remove my gloves. Take some time to train before challenging us again."

Sasuke gritted his teeth as frustration welled up within him. He had always been hailed as a prodigy, yet here he was, utterly outmatched.

"I can't believe I'm this weak," Sasuke muttered to himself, his single-tomoe Sharingan flaring with resolve.

Togen sighed. "Sasuke, there's no shame in admitting your limits. If you want a real challenge, there's someone even stronger than me."

Sasuke's eyes widened. "Stronger than you? Who?"

"Aburame Shino."

Sasuke blinked in surprise. "Shino? That quiet guy from my class? He can't be stronger than you—he doesn't even stand out."

Togen smirked. "Shino may seem ordinary, but he's one of the most capable shinobi of our generation. He just doesn't show off his strength like you do."

Sasuke clenched his fists, silently vowing to test Shino's abilities for himself.

From a distance, Haruto observed Sasuke's determination with a sense of pride. "Sasuke, your will to grow stronger reminds me of myself," he thought.

Haruto smiled to himself, straightened his posture, and began walking toward the Uchiha compound. "For the revival of the Uchiha clan, we both need to push ourselves to the limit."

Later that night

Haruto emerged from one of the clan's wedding chambers, his high spirits evident. He was about to head to another room when a familiar, raspy voice called out to him from the shadows.

"Haruto, you're quite the busy man these days. Aren't you worried about exhausting yourself?"

"Orochimaru?" Haruto turned to see the legendary shinobi step out of the darkness, accompanied by Kabuto, whose expression was one of thinly veiled contempt.

"Didn't you say you never wanted to see me again? What brings you to spy on me in the dead of night?" Haruto teased, a sly grin forming on his face.

"Don't get the wrong idea," Orochimaru snapped. "I'm here to discuss our arrangement. Kabuto will remain in Konoha to act as my eyes and ears. Your job is to protect him. Consider it a favor to me."

With that, Orochimaru turned to leave, but Haruto quickly stopped him.

"Hold on. You want my help without offering anything in return? That's not how cooperation works."

Orochimaru's face darkened. "You've already caused me enough trouble by making me pregnant. Consider this your compensation!"

Haruto scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Well... about that..."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"

Haruto hesitated before replying, "This morning, all the women in Konoha's higher ranks became pregnant."

Orochimaru's expression shifted to one of disbelief. "All of them?"

"Yes," Haruto admitted sheepishly. "And, uh... I may have blamed it on you. The higher-ups now believe Kabuto was your accomplice in this... unprecedented event. It's only a matter of time before they start hunting you both down."

Orochimaru's glare was so intense that it made Haruto flinch. "You put the blame on me?!"

"It made sense at the time!" Haruto protested. "Who else could pull off something so bizarre and outrageous? You're the perfect scapegoat."

Orochimaru's frustration reached its peak, and his chakra flared ominously. "Haruto, you—!"

Kabuto quickly intervened, pulling Orochimaru back before the situation escalated further.

Back at the Uchiha Compound

As Haruto returned to his quarters, he couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of his encounter with Orochimaru. "That snake never changes," he thought.

He glanced up at the moonlit sky and clenched his fists. The road ahead was uncertain, but his resolve to rebuild the Uchiha clan remained unshaken.
