After learning the S-rank Jutsus that the 3rd awarded him, Ryo continued teaching the medical ninja, and Fugaku Uchiha attended his class several times .
Ryo didn’t want to get too involved with the Uchiha clan . Even though his father Houyi was an Uchiha, those who raised him up were the Yamanaka’s . On top of everything, Ryo didn’t want anyone to disturb his mother’s life .
With Fugaku’s repeated approaches to Ryo, the latter was becoming really impatient . He’s even thought about whether or not he should secretly kill him .
Actually, the main reason why he didn’t go with that option was that Fugaku said that Houyi was his cousin .
The education that Ryo received in his past life was deeply rooted in his bones, and it was impossible for him to do anything bad to his elders .
Rejection after rejection, Fugaku always kept his smile . Not being able to hit a smiling face, Ryo became really helpless .
Over the course of the following half a month, Fugaku stayed that way, and Ryo learned to ignore his existence .
After the class was finished, Ryo picked up his things as usual and turned around to leave . Fugaku stopped him .
“Ryo, wait!”
Ryo looked back in boredom just to see Fugaku’s three dotted Sharingan staring at him .
“You’re not trying to use Genjutsu on me aren’t you?” Asked Ryo, a bit wary .
“Ryo, don’t misunderstand me! I just wanted to ask you, did you open the Sharingan yet?”
Fugaku’s words hit Ryo hard . He was certain that he didn’t slip up at all during the past weeks .
He could see it Fugaku’s eyes, it was as if it was written: “Child, I’m your uncle . ” Ryo wasn’t sure if Fugaku really knew the truth .
“Ryo, you’ve disguised yourself really well . But I can be sure that you are the son of my elder brother . I know this with one of our secret Uchiha techniques . ” Fugaku explained
In the manga, Ryo never read about a secret technique used by the Uchiha’s to identify their own people . But after all, that was just a manga, and this was real world . But above all that, Ryo didn’t want to play hide and seek with Fugaku anymore .
“Yes indeed, my father is Houyi Uchiha . ” Hearing Ryo admitting that, Fugaku was really happy .
In fact, the Uchiha’s don’t have such a secret technique . It was just that Fugaku who had grown up with Houyi, had already decided that Ryo was his cousin’s son .
“Ryo, can you tell me about your situation?”
Ryo nodded . Now that his identity was exposed, he had nothing to hide .
Ryo talked about the way his parents know each other, and essentially told Fugaku was his mother told him after his uncle funeral .
The main reason why he won’t go back to Uchiha clan is that his mother won’t be happy living there . The Yamanaka, as allies of the Senju clan, don’t have a good relationship with Uchihas . That’s why Sakumo and Inoichi hid his identity .
Fugaku was had great feelings for Ryo’s father . Houyi’s parents died when he was very young, and he was raised by Fugaku’s fathers .
He admired his cousin, who wasn’t born with fire affinity, and yet was able with lightning to become one of the Geniuses of his clan .
Houyi’s death in the WWII was the catalyst that made Fugaku open his Sharingan . The way he sees it, he is being considered a genius in the clan thanks to Houyi . This is why he was so patient and persistent with Ryo .
“That’s the Truth . What else do you want to know?” Ryo asked after he finished telling him about his situation with his mother .
“Is the Yamanaka clan good to you and to your mother?” Fugaku asked .
Right now, the head of our clan is my cousin Inoichi Yamanaka . He is very respectful to my mother and really kind to me . ”
“Is that so? Then there’s no need for you to return to the Uchiha clan . Our clan doesn’t like the Ino-ShikCho clans because they are allied with the Senju’s . If your mother was to come to us, she would be marginalized by the tribe, and you’d spend your whole life without being recognized . ”
“Why?!” Ryo was surprised when he heard what Fugaku said .
“You are the son of my elder brother; your mother is my brother’s favorite woman . It’s that simple . ”
Fugaku’s words greatly changed Ryo’s impression of him . From his tone, Ryo was pretty sure that he was being honest .
Ryo’s initial impression was that Fugaku wanted to expose his identity . But that now seems completely wrong . He was just someone who found out that his late brother might have had a son .
“Ryo, you haven’t answered me yet . Did you open the Sharingan?” Fugaku asked .
Ryo nodded, and then opened his two dotted Sharingan .
“Two dotted Sharingan?” Fugaku was a bit surprised . Accomplishing this while being only 11 years old, it was obvious that Ryo was a genius Uchiha .
“Ryo, this is for you . ” He sighed as he took out a small box .
Opening the box, Ryo found a pair of contact lenses .
“This is a commonly used disguise tool of our clan . One shouldn’t expose his identity as an Uchiha to anyone when performing tasks is disguise . But an Uchiha’s effectiveness on the battlefield is extremely affected if he can’t use his Sharingan . We use this to hide the Sharingan from others . ”
“Thank you!” Ryo’s heart was somewhat confused . He could feel that Fugaku’s help was entirely genuine .
“Haha, you don’t have to be so polite Ryo . If you and your mother ever have it hard in the Yamanaka clan, I will take you back to the care of the Uchiha’s . But, it seems like things are going on pretty well for you . You and your mother should be able to live in peace as long as you’re covering your Sharingan, and I’ll get to be relieved as well . ” Fugaku said with a smile .
This was the man to lead the Uchiha’s one day . Ryo looked at him and remembered the coldness of the older version of him in the manga, and wished he would stay this kind .
“Ah yes, there’s one more thing I wanted to give you . ” Said Fugaku as he took out a scroll .
“What is this?” Asked Ryo .
“This is our scroll of Sharingan Genjutsu techniques . It’s not something precious, but it only those who have the Sharingan can read it .
So far, the only field that Ryo had no real knowledge of was Genjutsu . This scroll was exactly what he needed .
“Well, I should go now! I won’t be coming to your next class . ” Fugaku turned to leave .
“Thank you, Fugaku San!” His actions made Ryo recognize him as an uncle .
In the following few days, Ryo studied the Uchiha’s Genjutsu, and kept teaching medicine to his team . It didn’t take him long to learn many of them with his great spiritual power .
Along with that, his Sharingan also changed with all that use .
