Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

The third day after returning to Konoha.

In the early morning, it was drizzling.

Uchiha Yi changed into black clothes, holding a bouquet of white flowers in his hand, and walked out of the house.

Soon, he arrived at the Uchiha clan's family cemetery.

Today is the funeral of the Uchiha clan's ninjas who died in battle.

In the Uchiha clan's settlement, every member of the clan who came and went wore black clothes and held white flowers for memorial services in their hands.

It was drizzling and the sky was grey.

Today is also Uchiha Kenji’s funeral.

Uchiha Yi walked forward with heavy steps, leaving deep footprints on the muddy path with every step.

The atmosphere at the funeral was depressing and sad.

There are only his mother and a younger sister left in Kenji's family. His father, like Uchiha Yi's parents, died in the Second World War in the Ninja World.

Kenji's mother was an elderly woman with a sad and haggard face. She held tightly in her hand her son's relic, a sword that Kenji left behind when he died in battle.

Next to the woman was a ten-year-old girl, Kenji's younger sister, Uchiha Yui.

Yui stood beside her mother. Her petite body looked particularly fragile in the rain. She bit her lower lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to cry out.

In her eyes full of sorrow, a black magatama was outlined between her scarlet pupils. It was the "gift" given to her by the pain of losing her loved ones.

Being so young, she did not fully understand the meaning of this power. She only knew that her brother would never come back.

Shisui lowered his head and stood behind Yui, his eyes full of sadness and pain, "Yui, your brother died fighting to save me. It's my fault. I'm sorry."

Yui stood quietly beside her mother, her pale little face devoid of any color.

Uchiha Yi walked through the crowd and came to Kenji's mother and sister. He glanced at Shisui and motioned him to stand behind him.

"Please accept my condolences, I am the captain of Kenji, I am also responsible for Kenji's sacrifice, he was a brave ninja..."

Uchiha Yi expressed his condolences as Captain Kenji.

He glanced at the pale girl in front of him and gently patted her right shoulder, "Yui, although Kenji has left us, if you are willing, you will be my sister in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shisui, who was standing by, also said softly: "Yui, I will also treat you as my own sister, and I will definitely protect you."

"Are you the Captain Yi that my brother always talks about?"

Yui raised her head and looked at Uchiha Yi, and suddenly her whole body trembled. She couldn't help crying out loud, but she just cried once and then bit her lower lip stubbornly and swallowed the rest of the sorrow.

However, her shoulders were shaking more and more violently, and she couldn't stop it no matter what.

Yui wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves, took the ninja sword left by her brother from her mother's hand, raised her tear-stained face and looked at Uchiha Yi: "I want to join the police force and become a ninja like my brother."

"You want to join the police force?"

Uchiha Yi was slightly startled, then he lowered his head and carefully looked at Yui's scarlet Sharingan. In addition to sadness, there was also a sharp edge that was difficult to ignore in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, he confirmed again: "Are you sure? Yui, this road is very dangerous."

"Well, I want to make myself strong and protect the village, my family and my friends like my brother."

Yui's words were a little childish, but revealed a firmness that went beyond her age.

Shisui on the side frowned. Joining the police force now means going to the battlefield.

Shisui was well aware of the danger and cruelty of the battlefield, and he definitely didn't want Yui to bear that kind of risk, "Yui, the missions carried out by the police force are very risky, and the battlefield is very dangerous, I don't want you to..."

"No, I'm not afraid."

Yui looked up at Shisui, her eyes not wavering at all, "Brother Shisui, I know you are all doing this for my own good, but I know my own heart better. I want to become stronger, strong enough to protect myself and my family, just like my brother. I don't want to live under the protection of others."

"But, you are just a girl. You have never been to the battlefield. You don't understand..."

Shisui's face looked very solemn. Looking at Yui, who looked three points like Kenji, he decided to speak up to dissuade her.

Yui raised her pretty face slightly and retorted stubbornly: "Isn't Lady Tsunade also a woman? She is a Sannin, why can't I?"

"Lady Tsunade, she is different..."

Yes, Tsunade is indeed one of the three famous ninjas in the ninja world, and the only female.

But in the entire history of the ninja world, there is only one Tsunade.

Shisui frowned and looked at Yui, his face full of helplessness.

Uchiha Yi stood in front of the two of them in silence, and suddenly asked, "Yui, have you ever been exposed to medical ninjutsu?"

Yui nodded and hummed, "I learned some basic medical ninjutsu in the ninja school."

Hearing Yui's affirmative answer, Uchiha Yi's face looked thoughtful.

Finally, he slowly said: "Yui, if this is your decision, I will support you. As the captain of the 7th Squadron of the Konoha Police Force, I agree to your joining."

Shisui was listening at the side, frowning, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Yi, Yui just graduated and has no experience. This is too dangerous."

"Shisui, I understand your concerns."

Uchiha Yi turned his gaze to Shisui and said seriously: "But you must respect Yui's choice. I know you want to protect her, but any protection provided by others is not as good as relying on yourself."

"Given the current development of the war situation, this war cannot be ended in the short term. Yui will be sent to the battlefield sooner or later. Instead of letting Yui team up with others, it is better for her to join our Seventh Team. We are indeed short of a medical ninja."

After hearing these words, Shisui finally realized how naive his thoughts were.

Brother Yi is right.

If Yui, who just graduated, joins another team, she will be cannon fodder sent to die on the battlefield.

On the contrary, by joining their team, he can protect Yui himself.

And with Brother Yi here, Yui's safety can definitely be guaranteed.

Thinking of this, Shisui nodded immediately and said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Brother Yi, I thought it was too simple. I understand now."

Uchiha Yi glanced at Shisui and continued, "Shisui, Yui will be guided by you. You need to help her adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield as soon as possible. Also, Yui's Sharingan has just awakened, so you should teach her the abilities of these eyes."

"Yes, Captain Yi!"

Shisui looked serious.

Uchiha Yi looked at Yui again and said softly: "Yui, regarding medical ninjutsu, I will ask an elder sister to teach you. I hope you can grow up as soon as possible."

"Yes, Captain Yi!"

Yui imitated Shisui beside her, with a serious look on her childish face.

"Then, Shisui, Yui is in your care."

Looking at the two boys and girls of similar age in front of him, Uchiha Yi nodded slightly.
