Although Shiiro Uchiha had awakened his Sharingan, he hadn't reveal it to anyone even to his Father who he thinks would be extremely proud of him. But due to him only at the age of 6 Years Old, this would be only the absurdist idea he had ever thought.
And It wasn't truly the effect of his intense training, but it was the accumulation of his potential, training, and mental capabilities. When Shiiro Uchiha had managed to take full control of his instinct, it had greatly enhanced his Mental Capabilities.
The awakening of the Sharingan wasn't even ever part of the plan when Shiiro managed to take control of his instincts and body. At most Shiiro only thought that he will finally get rid of his childish outbursts and uncontrollable childish instincts.
This truly became quite a shock to Shiiro as well when he was meditating during the start of his one week of rest, he managed to completely control his childish instinct and also due to his past trauma of his previous life, he unknowingly awakened his Sharingan.
Going back to the present, Shiiro had managed to control his Sharingan albeit the best that he can. During his remaining one week breaks he was training instead of resting, he completely re-developed his routine and now focused on training his physique and his Sharingan. And by the end of the year when class was again about to start, Shiiro had become accustomed to his Sharingan and it's Chakra Strain.
At the last day of the one month vacation from the Gifted Class. Shiiro spent his whole vacation just utterly training, day by day making Akira proud of his studious and hardworking son. Although he wasn't revered as a genius like Hatake Kakashi, Shiiro Uchiha was still able to take down students who are 1 or 2 years older than him in the Gifted Class.
This happened due to Senju Taro's Sparring matches that he kept trying to fit in their already compact schedule. During this period of sparring matches Shiiro had gained some fame as he had been increasingly getting stronger.
As the next day had arrived Shiiro Uchiha was getting ready bringing alongside his very own belongings, he went straight into the Gifted Building to unpack his belongings as he was now experiencing the Dorm Experience. In the Gifted Building many students lived out in the border of Konohagakure so when Shiiro knew of the Dorms that had been built for such students in the building he immediately went and took a room.
This room was shared with a fellow Uchiha clansmen of the Gifted Class. And due to this he was able to live comfortably in the Dorms. The gifted building had sheltered the advisors of the Gifted Class as well, so the building was built with the notion of having the advisors live in the building.
Hence both Senju Taro and Hyuuga Kaede had lived their stay in the Gifted building in luxurious rooms prepared for each of them. These rooms were definitely luxurious to say the least, but this also made them more easily accessible to students who are either in their Dorm Experience or the students who live near the Ninja Academy.
Knock* Knock* Knock*
Shiiro Uchiha after class had been dismissed went directly to Senju Taro's abode and knocked on his doors.
" Taro-sensei, may I come in please? " As soon as Shiiro finished his sentence a reply was heard.
" You are welcome to come in, Shiiro " Taro who was preparing his snack already sensed Shiiro before he even knocked and replied to Shiiro as he was about to finish making his snack.
" So, what do i owe the son of Vice-Chief of the Uchiha Military Police Force a visit ? " Taro looked at Shiiro while he was eating his Sandwich in his left hand and reading a scroll in his right hand.
" Sensei, I only wish to inform you of something. I had trained for the past 2 years using the Gravity Seal that my father had bought for me, and I would like to know If I can be allowed to Learn and train using my Gravity seal during class? " Shiiro who was motioned to sit by Taro explained his concern to Taro.
" hmmm, It seems your worries are but naught. Since our training will consist of using the Gravity Seal in the future, but if you insist on going to class with your Gravity seal active. Then you can do so as you please. But do inform ma'am Kaede of your concerns as well. " Taro looked at Shiiro seriously but replied nonchalantly making Shiiro relaxed as he was about to leave.
Shiiro had thanked Senju Taro for the approval and when he was about to leave Shiiro was smirking on the way out, unbeknownst to Shiiro.
' heh, what a peculiar child. ' Senju Taro smirked as he looked at the child who was leaving.
The 3rd year of the Academy had stayed pretty much the same as it was in the 1st and 2nd Years. The Gifted Class schedule had stayed the same but the students had mastered all of the three basic ninjutsu techniques in the Academy.
During this time, the skill development of the Students on Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Bukijutsu, Kenjutsu, Survival Skills and even the Art of Kunai and Shuriken were further developed.
This made the training of the students become even more intense. And during this intense training, Shiiro Uchiha had pushed his limits more and more because he was using the Gravity Seal and increasing it accordingly even though he had been training and learning the same as the students of the gifted class.
This had not gone unnoticed by the Students and Shiiro unknowingly garnered fame due to his hardworking nature despite coming from a Great Clan in Konohagakure. This had made his progress comparable to Sasori of the Red Sand who by this time was training and developing his work of art.
Some students in the class had been motivated by Shiiro and his antics and is now trying to copy the training of Shiiro, even the previously stronger students had noticed Shiiro Uchiha's efforts and now had also started to copy Shiiro.
Unbeknownst to the students this much growth of Shiiro Uchiha was due to his Potential, Sharingan, and his incredible physique and chakra reserves. Although Shiiro put all of his time and effort on training, a 6 year old child like him would have had a harder time had he not awakened his Sharingan and he doesn't have the incredible potential, physique and chakra reserves that he was born with.
This made the students even more stronger and this made Senju Taro and Kaede Hyuuga proud of their students and had accelerated their training schedule to match the current strength of the students. Although some training stayed the same, most of the physical aspect of training had gotten harder and harder due to the constant rivalry of the students.
As the year ended. Shiiro Uchiha had full control of his Sharingan now, even controlling the Sharingan and copying various movements had became easier for Shiiro now, he didn't expect that he would be able to develop his Sharingan to this extent even though it was only a One Tomoe Sharingan.
This made Shiiro extremely happy as he was nearing his 4th Year in the academy and may be able to graduate at the age of 7 or 8 years old. As he was already almost 7 years old when the year ended. And he doesn't know what the future holds so he might be wary and train more until he turns 8 Years old.

On the other side of things. Although Konohagakure had been peaceful throughout the years, the signs of new shinobi villages and bandit groups forming had started to show in Konohagakure.
Because of the decline in national power, the reign of the Five Great Shinobi Countries was crumbling. Along their borders, skirmishes with smaller nations broke out all the time. Even though Konohagakure was revered as the strongest village in the Land of Fire, It didn't escape the atrocities of the new Shinobi Villages and the new bandit groups that had started immerging.
This greatly affected Sarutobi Hiruzen, who not only was busy doing work in the Village but was also busy defending the Village from the political or physical attacks thrown at the village. This made Sarutobi Hiruzen lose strands of his hair and even had started to slowly age.
Kirigakure also had suffered and begun to crumble the moment the death of the Patriarch of the Kaguya clan had been revealed. Although the village had tried to remedied their mistake, they had only made it worse and managed to eradicate the Kaguya Clan instead. Not only this had caused a devastating blow to Kirigakure but this had also started to crumble some major clans in Kirigakure. Although there were signs of promising ninjas in Kirigakure like Terumi Mei who had now become a full fledged Elite Jounin, she was still overshadowed by the Tailless Tailed Beast of Kirigakure, Hoshigake Kisame.
The other Villages had also shown many promising Ninjas immerging during this affairs, due to the increasing demands of Missions many ninja had begun to sprout out of their villages and show their scary potential. From Konohagakure was Shisui Uchiha, Jiraiya the Gallant, Orochimaru, Senju Tsunade-Hime, as well as Minato Namikaze a promising student of Jiraiya. From Sunagakure was the immergence of many skilled puppeteer one of which was Sasori of the red sand. From Kirigakure was the Tailless Tailed Beast, Hoshigake Kisame. From Kumugakure was the potential of a new completely controlled tailed beast the Hachibi Host, Killer Bee. and lastly from Iwagakure, the Jinchūriki of the Five-Tails, Han became known worldwide for his prowess with steam ninjutsu.
Although many aspiring new ninjas and some already well known ninjas was spread throughout the Ninja World, this still did not stop the crumbling of the Five Great Villages due to the immergence of so many new shinobi villages and bandit groups that had started to target the Five Great Villages. Even though the skirmishes was small at first it was truly growing at an alarming rate. And most of the Great villages had already started to deploy very young children, some of whom were barely out of the Academy were thrown onto the Frontline and even receive dangerous missions from the villages.
Truly something in the Horizon was looming.
