Chapter 18: Natsuo’s hard life

Natsuo didn't care at all about the matter with Yūhi Kurenai. 

 

Uchiha clan's heavy investment in seeking a child naturally attracted countless women's cheers, but it also inevitably faced criticism. 

 

Yūhi Kurenai had considerable strength, talent, and a wealthy, so she naturally didn't like this kind of openly priced approach. 

 

Compared to Yūhi Kurenai, some men were even more intolerant of Uchiha. 

 

Kakashi and Might Guy's jealousy could be considered extremely mild emotions. After all, Natsuo frequently flaunted his wealth and occasionally paraded around with a group of girls. 

 

Not to mention that his wives they possessed both strength and beauty, making them outstanding among the female ninjas of Konoha. They had countless pursuers! So, the mentality of some male ninjas in Konoha was unstable. 

 

Let me put it this way. 

 

It can be said that Natsuo felt that as long as he ran to the streets of Konoha Village and shouted, "I am Uchiha Natsuo, if you're my brother, come and fight me," he would instantly gain many half-siblings. 

 

But today was a bit different. 

 

"Sasuke hasn't come home yet," Natsuo squinted his eyes. 

 

After all, Sasuke was still young, and currently, the "custody" was with Natsuo. Although he still lived in his own house every day, he ate at Natsuo's place. And now it was getting dark, but Sasuke still hadn't appeared. 

 

"Let's go find him," Natsuo sighed lightly. 

 

After all, Itachi was still working for Uchiha clan in disguise, and he was currently the only one who could support Uchiha's face. Some harmony between brothers and friends had to be maintained. 

 

... 

 

Konoha had several training grounds. 

 

Natsuo searched for a long time and finally found that familiar figure desperately pounding a wooden stake in a training ground near the corner. 

 

"What's wrong? Why haven't you come home for dinner... huh, what happened to you?" Natsuo narrowed his eyes slightly. 

 

At this moment, Sasuke had some bruises on his face, his clothes were torn in some places, and there was even a deep footprint on his abdomen. 

 

"Did you win?" Natsuo glanced at Sasuke and calmly asked. 

 

"I didn't lose". Sasuke bit his lip, "But I didn't win either." 

 

There was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and he clenched his teeth tightly. Sasuke didn't try to make excuses because he knew he couldn't deceive a member of the Uchiha clan. 

 

"It seems like you suffered a little setback". 

 

Natsuo thought to himself. "People of the same age can't defeat Sasuke, so it must have been someone from a higher grade who took action." 

 

At this time, before Naruto became overpowered, Sasuke was undoubtedly the number one. So it could only be someone from a higher grade. 

 

"It's okay, just come back and win next time," Natsuo said calmly. 

 

[Question: What should I do if I'm bullied by classmates?] 

 

[Momochi Zabuza: At times like this, just kill all your classmates.] 

 

Ninjas themselves are killers, and students at the ninja school are also reserve warriors. It's normal to have conflicts and use physical force. 

 

A little bit of struggle can even stimulate students' motivation to improve. 

 

So as long as it doesn't cause major problems, no ninja parent would go to the school to make trouble just because their child was beaten up. Only civilian ninjas without vision would do such a thing. 

 

Encouraging them to retaliate is what true ninja parents should do! 

 

"Okay," Sasuke obviously had this idea. 

 

But after a pause, he raised his head and asked, "Brother Natsuo, do you know someone named Hyūga Neji?" 

 

"Neji? What happened to him?" 

 

"When I was about to lose, he came out and drove those people away. From his words, it seems like you know him?" 

 

Natsuo calmly replied, "I know him a little, but not much." 

 

In fact, Natsuo had contact with many people. In order to save the Uchiha clan, he had also thought of many ways. 

 

For example, like what was written in many fanfictions, he united the large clans that were suppressed by the Third Hokage, overthrew the Third Hokage, annihilated the Anbu, and staged a coup in Konoha. 

 

For this, he had made many preparations. 

 

For example, he gave Neji some advice before Hyūga Hizashi died. Other example was I taught a lesson to the brat who bullied Hinata. 

 

All of this was to establish a connection with the Hyūga clan for future actions. 

 

Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan was still in a difficult situation, and Natsuo's preparations were in vain. 

 

... 

 

In the end, Sasuke did not go home with Natsuo. 

 

He had to continue his training and strive to come back for revenge as soon as possible. 

 

Natsuo understood this. 

 

When other students were beaten, they could cry to their parents, cry to their teachers, show their weakness and seek comfort from others. 

 

But Sasuke couldn't do that. Because he represented the Uchiha clan! He could only continue to endure and quickly regain his position! 

 

Otherwise, rumors would immediately spread that the Uchiha clan had completely fallen, and they were no longer worthy of their past reputation. 

 

And the original Sasuke had even greater pressure than the current Sasuke! After all, in the original story, only Sasuke was left in the entire Uchiha clan, while now there was still Natsuo. 

 

"Responsibility is a bad thing, it can easily crush a person." 

 

"But it is also a good thing, it can test whether a person is capable." 

 

Natsuo shook his head. In the end, he handed some money to Sasuke, so that he could buy some food after finishing his training. 

 

In order to restore the reputation of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke had to train hard, endure, and even fight countless powerful opponents in the future, with life and death hanging by a thread. 

 

But this was the price he had to pay in order to "kill Itachi". 

 

Natsuo was the same. For the revival of the Uchiha clan. He had to listen to music and watch dances in a boring manner and have a large harem. 

 

He had to have a monotonous and affectionate relationship with his wives. He had to possess beauties, conquer them every day, and face all challenges with an iron will, like a steel bar sharpened when grinding a stone. 

 

This boredom and pain were known only to extraordinary people. 

 

"Ah." Natsuo shook his head, feeling deeply moved by his own efforts. 

 

Just as Natsuo was walking and feeling emotional, suddenly, a tender white arm reached out from beside him and pulled him over. 

 

Natsuo was stunned. A strong smell of alcohol instantly came over, mixed with a unique scent of musk. 

 

It was the fragrance of a woman. 

 

"Come, Natsuo... hic... come and drink with me!" 

 

"Yūhi Kurenai?"
