He remained silent because the ANBU members around him were watching, and he didn't want to cause trouble for the Uchiha clan.
After all, Naruto is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.
After confirming that Naruto had arrived home safely, Kenichi Uchiha left under the watchful eye of the Anbu.
Goodbye, Uncle Kenichi!
Naruto waved from behind Kenichi, even though Kenichi hadn't said much along the way.
But he didn't show any discriminatory look in his eyes.
This was enough to make Naruto, who was lonely and sensitive, happy.
Kenichi Uchiha didn't turn around. Naruto waited until Kenichi was far away before entering the house.

But Naruto turned on the light in the entryway.
Dirty clothes were scattered all over the house, and the sink was piled high with unwashed dishes.
The floor was a mess, with trash everywhere.
Naruto looked around his messy house.
Looking at the packaging of those brand-new clothes and shoes, a strange feeling welled up inside me.
What I used to take for granted now appears exceptionally dirty and chaotic.
He carefully hung the newly purchased items, along with their packaging, on the hook.
Then he rolled up his sleeves, fetched water, and began cleaning the house.
It was late at night, but the room was brightly lit, and Naruto was full of energy and enthusiasm.
The ANBU members outside looked at each other, puzzled as to why Naruto had suddenly decided to do housework in the middle of the night.
However, as long as Naruto doesn't run around, it doesn't matter what he's doing.
They weren't too worried; they just needed to report it to their superiors.
...
Children's emotions change very quickly; Sasuke, who was in a good mood just a moment ago, was no exception.
As Kawasaki walked step by step toward the ruins of his original clan, the smile on his face quietly faded.
The new settlement is located further away, requiring a journey of several miles through this area to reach it.
Sasuke's little mind was full of questions, and he wanted to ask his father for answers one by one, so he unconsciously quickened his pace.
Kawasaki was thinking about Kakashi, who was undoubtedly exceptionally intelligent.
However, he was also bound by the so-called "Will of Fire".
Born into a prestigious family, he fell into a slump after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, wasting his talent.
While transplanting the Sharingan greatly enhanced his combat abilities in the short term, it also limited the heights he could reach.
Not only does the inability to shut down for extended periods consume energy, but the ability to replicate everything also easily breeds laziness.
He often played a minor role, only experiencing Obito's dual Kamui power at the very end.
Most of the time he seemed dispensable, and his personality was too indecisive.
Obito committed numerous crimes, including murdering his master and mistress, attempting to destroy the ninja world, and causing countless families to be torn apart.
When Kakashi first fought him in the Kamui dimension, he actually held back, only symbolically punching him twice in the abdomen.
Because the other party was Obito, he couldn't bring himself to use a brutal attack.
If he had been able to harden his heart back then, the story might have taken a completely different turn.
Treating Naruto well is a strategic investment by Kawasaki.
But at the same time, I sincerely believe that Naruto's childhood was the most tragic.
Many pains need not be endured, and many hardships need not be faced.
The dark political struggle between the Third Hokage and Danzo inexplicably dragged an innocent child into it.
Celebrating suffering is more cruel than suffering itself. If Naruto were surrounded by love, there would be no trouble with the Nine-Tails going out of control.
The kid next door who's obsessed with playing in the sand has gone completely mad; that gives you an idea of what's going on.
Naruto's childhood was not much easier than Gaara's, although he escaped assassination.
But every indifferent face of the villagers was like an invisible sword.
Fortunately, Naruto is the reincarnation of Ashura; otherwise, if he had turned evil in an instant, Konoha would have been the first to suffer.
"Father, I'm back."
Kawasaki took Sasuke back to the newly established clan territory.
There were unfinished buildings everywhere, but Kawasaki did not mistreat the workers and always made them finish on time.
After all, working overtime means extra expenses, and for now, the Uchiha clan just needs a place to live.
Fugaku had already learned of Sasuke's return and was currently enjoying tea inside the house.
Seeing Sasuke enter, he rarely showed a smile: "You're back. How did things go with Kawasaki-sensei?"
Chapter 29: Obtaining Spatial Teleportation!
Kawasaki followed Sasuke into the house: "Teacher?"
Sasuke was completely confused, because Kawasaki had never mentioned asking him to become his apprentice.
Fugaku frowned and asked, "Kawasaki, haven't you told Sasuke yet?"
Kawasaki chuckled and said, "It's getting late. Let's bring Sasuke back first. We can talk about the apprenticeship tomorrow. I'm leaving now."
After leaving Sasuke with Fugaku, Kawasaki leisurely departed.
After becoming familiar with Fugaku, he became increasingly casual and unconventional in his behavior, because he understood...
Fugaku's serious demeanor was merely a work requirement; in reality, he was a pragmatist.
"Father, why did my brother and Shisui both leave Konoha? Some people say they betrayed the village?"
"Why was our tribal land destroyed? Why did you resign from your post as the garrison captain?"
As soon as Sasuke sat down, he impatiently fired off a series of questions, like a machine gun.
He was away for half a month, and when he returned, he found that everything in the Uchiha clan had changed.
Fugaku habitually kept a cold face, trying to maintain his authority in front of his son.
But Kawasaki had warned that this attitude would only alienate Itachi and Sasuke further from him.
Thinking of this, his expression softened: "Your brother and Shisui went out to explore opportunities for the future of our Uchiha clan. Don't believe everything you hear."
"If Itachi and Shisui really betrayed the village, why doesn't Konoha arrest us?"
"Clan territory can be rebuilt if it is destroyed. As long as there are Uchiha people, we can build as many clan territories as we want."
Seeing Sasuke nod, seemingly understanding, Fugaku smiled.
"As for the position of security captain, it's too busy. I've always heard you say that no one practices ninjutsu with you, right?"
“Since your brother won’t be back for a while, I’ll practice with you.”
Sasuke was surprised to hear this. His father used to be a man of few words and serious. He had gone through a lot of hardship to win his father's approval.
Now his father actually said he would practice ninjutsu with him. He pinched himself to make sure it wasn't an illusion.
"Ouch!"
Sasuke pinched himself hard, which made Fugaku laugh out loud.
Sasuke was seeing his father so approachable for the first time, and a smile involuntarily spread across his face: "Father, when will my brother and Shisui return?"
"Your brother will come back after you graduate from the ninja academy."
"Huh? It's going to take this long?"
Sasuke looked dissatisfied. The ninja academy would take six years, which meant he wouldn't see his brother for six years, which was too long.
Seeing his son's disappointment, Fugaku said, "You're a member of the Uchiha clan. Has such a small thing made you lose confidence? It's not like we'll never see each other again."
"Ok!"
Sasuke regained his composure and asked, "Father, what's this about taking on a master?"
Fugaku explained, "I want you to become Kawasaki's apprentice."
"Apprenticeship?"
Sasuke tilted his head in thought, showing no dislike for Kawasaki: "Is Kawasaki-senpai very strong?"
"powerful?"
Fugaku savored the word, "Extremely strong!"
He nodded firmly.
"Is he better than my brother? How about compared to Brother Zhishui?"
In Sasuke's eyes, his older brother Itachi and Shisui were the strongest members of the Uchiha clan.
"Kawasaki is currently the strongest ninja in the Uchiha clan."
Fugaku believed that Kawasaki was the strongest Uchiha in terms of wisdom, and in terms of martial arts...
After awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, Kawasaki will experience a period of rapid growth.
Even though Shisui also has a kaleidoscope, the age gap is too great, so he is bound to be no match for Kawasaki.
"The number one Uchiha?"
Sasuke's image of Kawasaki-senpai suddenly seemed to be bathed in a glow.
"I think Kawasaki-senpai should be the second Uchiha."
"Oh?"
Fugaku asked curiously, "Then who is number one?"
