Ye Feng lounged lazily against the wall in the room, watching the one-year-old Sasuke crawling around him. A faint smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his mouth. His mood today was exceptionally good because it was his third birthday. Even little Sasuke, who used to cry and fuss a lot, seemed to behave quite well today. However, the reason for his good mood wasn't solely the birthday celebration; it was also because, at the age of three, he could now resume practicing the Sky Rhythm Breaking Skill. Time flew by, and he had been in this world for almost two and a half years. He had gathered a clear understanding of his current identity. In this world, his name was Uchiha Murasaki. As expected, the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, was his paternal uncle. In this world, he remained an orphan. His father's death was somewhat related to Uchiha Fugaku. When they went on a mission together, Uchiha Fugaku was surrounded by enemies. His father, in an attempt to rescue his brother, rushed into the enemy's encirclement without hesitation. He succeeded in saving his brother but fell into the enemy's trap, losing his life and leaving behind a pair of orphans and a widow. Due to the grief of losing her husband, Murasaki's mother died during childbirth, leaving him as the sole orphan. As Murasaki's paternal uncle, Uchiha Fugaku naturally took on the responsibility of raising his nephew. Perhaps out of guilt for his deceased younger brother, Uchiha Fugaku treated Murasaki as if he were his own son. Due to Uchiha Fugaku's status as the head of the Uchiha clan, Murasaki lived a luxurious life with all the comforts one could imagine. "Brother! Hug, hug!" Sasuke on the side pestered him again, causing Ye Feng a headache. This guy usually loved sticking to Sasuke, but now that Sasuke was attending the ninja academy, he naturally didn't have much time to play with him. Uchiha Fugaku, as the head of the Uchiha clan, was naturally busy with clan affairs, so this little guy could only rely on his mother and elder cousin for company. "Little Murasaki, Aunt is preparing dinner. You need to take good care of your little brother!" Uchiha Mikoto's figure emerged from the kitchen, speaking gently to him. She then returned to the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Today was Uchiha Murasaki's birthday, so they needed to make it special. "I know, Aunt!" Ye Feng lazily responded, playing with Sasuke's little face with his fingers, amusing him with chuckles. After playing with Sasuke for a while, his benevolent uncle, Uchiha Fugaku, also returned. He still had a serious expression on his face. By the time Ye Feng was over a year old, Uchiha Fugaku rarely showed a smiling face to him. It seemed like he wanted to maintain the stern father image, unaware that Ye Feng had long seen through him. Sasuke, upon seeing his father return, initially wanted to go hug his father's leg but was scared off by Fugaku's stern gaze. He returned to Ye Feng's side. Ye Feng sighed, knowing that Fugaku's serious expression every day was not just for the sake of maintaining a strict father image. It was due to the grim situation of the Uchiha clan. Last year, when Sasuke was born, it coincided with the Nine-Tails attacking Konoha. The formidable power of the Nine-Tails was undeniable. Even from a distance, Ye Feng saw its colossal figure resembling an aircraft carrier. In that destructive battle, the Fourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal it. In the ninja world, aside from the Uchiha clan's Sharingan, almost no one could control the Nine-Tails. Additionally, with the Fourth Hokage's death, the Uchiha clan became the primary target of suspicion and rejection within the village. They were completely ousted from the upper echelons. Since then, the Uchiha clan's status in Konoha became delicate. As the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku naturally felt immense pressure. Almost every day, he wore a face filled with sorrow and distress. In Ye Feng's view, this was just an excuse for Konoha to deal with the Uchiha clan, and the Nine-Tails attack conveniently provided an opportunity. Due to the Uchiha clan's significant contributions during its founding and the overwhelming power of the Sharingan, the clan had become arrogant and aloof, causing considerable instability in Konoha. The village's leadership naturally sought to eliminate this potential threat. The Nine-Tails attack became the perfect pretext. Even the Uchiha clan's later plan to initiate a coup was likely part of the calculations of the Third Hokage and Danzo. "I'm home!" Uchiha Itachi also returned home at this time. He was only five years old, but he had always won the first place in the ninja academy, and was highly regarded by the ninja academy teachers. He already possessed all the qualities that a ninja should have, and gradually showed the edge of his peerless genius. "Little Purple, this is your birthday present!" Itachi took out a box from his pocket and gently handed it to Yefeng. "Thank you, Itachi-nii!" Yefeng took out the box and looked at it. Yes! It was a fine jade pendant, very shiny, and looked like it was worth a lot of money. Yefeng happily held it in his hand, regardless of Sasuke's scramble, and put it around his neck. "Then I'll also give you this as your birthday present!" Fugaku took out a delicate kunai from his arms and handed it to Yefeng. The blade of the kunai was full of cold light, and it was clear that it was not ordinary. "This is a kunai left by a powerful ninja from our Uchiha clan. Although it is not as good as those legendary artifacts, it is also considered a masterpiece. I hope that Purple will become a powerful ninja in the future and add new glory to our Uchiha clan." Fugaku explain "Little Purple, he's only three years old now. Isn't it a bit too early to give him this?" Mikoto Uchiha, who came out of the kitchen with dishes, said a little worriedly. "It's okay. Little Purple is usually quite sensible, and he should be able to master it. Itachi also started to get in touch with all kinds of ninja tools when he was three years old." Fugaku waved his hand and said to Yefeng, "You should be like Itachi-nii and strive to become a genius ninja in the future." "I know, Uncle! I will work hard." Yefeng responded solemnly in his mouth, but he was not convinced in his heart. He would never be a ninja. With the Heaven's Melody Breakthrough Art, his vision would never be limited to the profession of a ninja. "En! I'll give you some basic knowledge books about the ninja world tomorrow. After you're familiar with them, you can go to the ninja academy and register then." Fugaku nodded in satisfaction and D ao "Okay, I will definitely master those knowledge as soon as possible!" Yefeng was quite interested in those books, because the basic knowledge books of the ninja world included a lot of knowledge about the distribution of herbs. In this world without cultivators, who knows how many spiritual herbs were missed by them because they didn't know the species. Such a unique cultivation resource, Yefeng naturally had to master it proficiently. "Alright, today is a happy day, let's not talk about those! Let's prepare dinner! Little Purple, I prepared a lot of your favorite food!" Mikoto Uchiha didn't want the topic to become so heavy, and said to Yefeng gently. "En! Thank you!" ... After spending a pleasant dinner, Yefeng couldn't wait to return to his private little room. On the surface, he was going to try out his new gifts, but in fact, he wanted to start cultivating his Heaven's Melody Breakthrough Art early. During the day, because he was under the eyes of others, he had many inconveniences. In fact, he had been wanting to start cultivating for a long time.
