3 A way forward!

"Hikaru-kun, how are you feeling," Daisuke asked as soon as he entered the room.

"Sorry for bothering you Daisuke-sama," Hikaru replied cautiously, he noticed Daisuke was a little absentminded.

"I don't remember who attacked me in the morning," Hikaru started speaking gaining Daisuke's attention, "but I think I know why I was targeted."

"Did you remember something Hikaru-kun," Daisuke asked, he was interested in listening to Hikaru's reasoning, maybe it would clue into the fact how someone managed to perfectly slip in between the police force responsible for patrols of the clan compound.

"Uhh, I didn't realize it until 2 days ago, my eyes felt itchy since 'that day'..." Hikaru started speaking, he noticed Daisuke's eyes widening in surprise so he went in for the kill.

'Sharingan...' Hikaru thought as he began channeling chakra through his eyes, his vision sharpened as he could see a vague fog of chakra present in Daisuke's body.

"Sharingan..." Daisuke whispered in amazement as he looked carefully at Hikaru's eyes and then at his immature face.

'He awakened the Sharingan at just 4 years old, almost, he should be 5 years old in a month...' Daisuke thought, once his amazement at Hikaru's impressive achievement died down other pressing issues appeared in his mind.

'So the target of today's attack wasn't Hikaru but a newly awakened Sharingan...' He thought, his face set in a grim mask as he stood up and walked toward the door.

"Fugaku!" He shouted and then looked back at Hikaru, Hikaru was currently staring in fascination at Daisuke's every move. Before he moved Hikaru was able to predict how and what Daisuke would do. He could guess Daisuke's words from the way his lips moved.

Suddenly Hikaru felt weakness overwhelm him, he had to use his hands to stop himself from collapsing as the unbelievable clarity that came with the Sharingan vanished. His eyes closed for a few seconds as a dull throbbing emerged from deep within.

"You over-exhausted your chakra, your current reserves do not allow you to keep your Sharingan active for a long time..." Daisuke spoke as he watched Hikaru support himself on the table.

Fugaku walked into the room at this moment, he looked a little confused as he looked at Hikaru's hunched-over figure before he turned to Daisuke with a questioning eyebrow, "What happened Tou-san."

"Call the council back for another meeting, and schedule a meetup with all the squad captains after that," Daisuke ordered. Fugaku nodded and flickered away.

Daisuke turned to Hikaru and spoke, "Hikaru-kun, refrain from showing your Sharingan to anyone else, and according to your chakra reserves, you could only use the Sharingan for 30 minutes at a time. Don't over-exert yourself, I'll assign you a teacher who will teach you the basics of Uchiha taijutsu style and he will teach you how to use your Sharingan effectively."

Daisuke paused as he mulled over the plan a couple of times and spoke, "For the next week try to remain in your house as much as possible, I'll send someone to do your grocery shopping, and after that, your teacher will be responsible for everything."

"Yes, Thank you Daisuke-sama" Hikaru bowed to show his gratitude, an advantage of being born in a large clan was the support system he could gain without much sacrifice.

Hikaru was about to slip out of the room but Daisuke stopped him once again, "Hikaru-kun, be there by the Naka Shrine next Monday at 7 P.M..."

Hikaru gave an uncertain nod to Daisuke before he slipped out of their house. He sighed in relief as he walked back to his home, his steps were a little unsteady but after a few moments, he was able to regain his balance.

'Alright, I should be secure for the time being, though I would be under surveillance for the next week since Daisuke surely would set up a trap for whoever tried to attack me.' Hikaru concluded.

'Still, the Sharingan burned through my chakra so fast, was it because of my poor chakra control...' Hikaru wondered as he once again opened his skill window to look at how much experience he gained for burning through all of his chakra.

...

[1-Tomoe Sharingan (Active)- Lv 1 (29/100): The Bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, the basic Sharingan allows the user to vaguely see chakra and predict the movement of projectiles. It also enhances vision and perception.

Chakra usage: 1/s]

...

'I got 1 proficiency for 1 second of Sharingan used, this way I should be able to get to level 2 after repeating this process 3 more times... It's not too bad, though my chakra regeneration is too slow to keep grinding this skill.' Hikaru thought as he arrived at his house.

He walked in and walked into his room, although his room was smaller than the master bedroom, he didn't want to intrude so soon.

'What am I even doing,' Hikaru shook his head as he collapsed on his bed, as he was finally alone after a heck of a day he could take a break and figure out what he needed to do.

'I don't know where in the timeline I am exactly, but at least judging from Fugaku's teenage face I'm sure I will fuck up the timeline one way or another. So there is no point even thinking about that, what I need right now is to get my stats up and figure out which stats I need to focus on and how do I gain experience...'

Hikaru stood up and dropped down on the floor, being from an advanced world he knew quite a lot of exercises that would work better than Gai and Lee's ridiculous routine.

'Everything starts with push-ups, let's see how effective this gamer thingy is in giving me a boost.' Hikaru thought as he measured his hands and did one push-up, his eyes were focused on his status window.

...

[STR: 5.05]

[END: 5.05]

[DEX: 5.00]

[INT: 5.00]

[CP: 5.02]

...

Hikaru's eyes lit up as he saw the changes in his stats in real-time, now all he had to do was grind.
