Chapter 18 Obtaining Weapons(1/2)
[Yiyong’s impressions of other people so far]
Itachi Uchiha: Worried about things, he likes to keep secrets and guard against his father. He doesn’t want him to enter the kitchen.
Uchiha Sasuke: As long as he has enough to eat, he is happy around Itachi and me. He likes to be praised.
Uchiha Fugaku: Always trying to force others to do something. Very strong.
Uchiha Mikoto: A jounin who can't even tread water and may be exposed by the village at any time. Always reminds me of my sister.
Uchiha Shisui: He likes to bring gifts to Sasuke. He is a good person. He is as strong as his father.
Hatake Kakashi: Not too serious. The impression is very bad.
Uzumaki Naruto: A very optimistic child with huge energy lurking in his body. He is very similar to the Fourth Hokage in the photo.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: An irresponsible old man.
Uchiha Flame: A somewhat impulsive child.
[Others’ impressions of Yiyong so far]
Uchiha Sasuke: A combination of mother and brother, who likes to take care of people. It makes me feel very sad when I cry. Although he is very powerful, I can’t be jealous.
Uchiha Itachi: He has a rich imagination and may have some potential mental problems. When he doesn't speak, he feels like he is his older brother.
Uchiha Fugaku: He is more talented than Itachi and has excellent physical fitness. If he is properly cultivated, he is the hope of restoring the clan to its former glory.
Uchiha Mikoto: A taciturn, gentle-hearted and good child. She lives a very awkward life and lacks common sense. She has shown some improvement recently, and I hope it can be maintained.
Shisui: A genius child with the destructive power of a Jonin. He has a soft heart, which is very similar to me.
Kakashi: He is destined to be a child who can't help himself. My ninja dog doesn't like him.
Uzumaki Naruto: My only friend of the same age, I want to meet often. I want to see Giyuu’s smile.
Sarutobi Hiruzen: He cares too much about other people's feelings and is easy to lead. He is a tool to contain and influence Uchiha Itachi in the future.
Uchiha Fire: A little scared (his brother).
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Thanks to the sudden intimacy with Giyuu's way of addressing his family and his promise to go to a ninja school, Uchiha Fugaku rarely put away his droopy face and spent three days laughing with his family.
.
For this reason, Uchiha Fugaku specially commended Uchiha Itachi. He thought that Giyuu would agree to go to school, and it was all because of Itachi's persuasion.
Although the latter was a little confused, he didn't understand the real reason. He only did it as a sign of sympathy for him.
After the New Year, Uchiha Shisui came to visit again, but this time it was not for a meal.
When he "heard" that Giyuu was going to school, he immediately volunteered and said that he would help Giyuu conduct special preschool training for three months until the ninja school started. He also said that he wanted to compete with Itachi to see who was better.
It means taking care of children.
However, he has conditions. Giyuu's training time is not as long as Sasuke's, so if he wants to catch up, it is best to let Giyuu live at his place.
Uchiha Fugaku was overjoyed and agreed on the spot. He asked Giyuu and Shisui to stay for a while to concentrate on training and not to worry about family matters. As for Sasuke, he went to the security department with him during this time to "study" in order to prepare for school.
The written test at that time finally resolved Sasuke's dissatisfaction with the separation from his younger brother.
But from the beginning to the end, the only ones who knew Giyuu's true purpose of leaving home were Shisui, Itachi and Giyuu himself.
At this time, the three of them had arrived at Shisui's hut behind the Nanga River. It was in a mountain stream with a high waterfall and steep cliffs on both sides. The Nanga River flows through here. Here,
It is already outside the wood industry boundary.
In the mountain stream, the waterfall that flows down is not affected by the cold winter. When it falls, it releases bursts of mist, accompanied by dense drum-like accompaniment.
A simple hut was built next to the water reservoir directly below the waterfall.
"This is the place where the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, taught my grandfather Uchiha the Kyōsui Ninjutsu.
"He was once a disciple of the Second Hokage, and he was also the Hokage's guard whom the Second Hokage could entrust with his life. Facts have proved that he has lived up to this trust."
Uchiha Shisui guided the two of them to the edge of the waterfall and introduced this inaccessible Feng Shui treasure land in a serious manner.
This is Uchiha's territory, so outsiders don't come here; and most of the clan members practice fire escape ninjutsu, so they don't come here very often, which is perfect for Giyuu to stay here temporarily.
"My father often said during his lifetime that when my grandfather was still alive, that was the moment when our Uchiha clan was closest to the Hokage.
"But with the death of my grandfather, there is no bridge and mediator to communicate with each other, and the relationship between the clan and the village has become worse and worse."
Yiyong listened and his expression remained as usual.
He just liked the way this place made him feel.
When running Water Breathing Normally here, the efficiency of natural energy in strengthening the body is one-half higher than usual.
But before, Giyuu had never had a similar feeling whether he was near the artificially dug Konoha River or the large lake at the Uchiha training ground.
【Is it because it is in a natural water source? 】
He began to think about this problem.
Uchiha Itachi on the side listened carefully to Shisui's speech, showing his usual thoughtful expression.
This was the first time that Shisui took the initiative to tell him about family affairs.
"Itachi, can you guess why my father named me Shishou?"
He looked back in Itachi's direction, casting a sincere smile under his long eyelashes.
"I think uncle... probably hopes that you will inherit Senior Jing's legacy."
Uchiha Itachi stood still with respect, "The so-called 'Shisui Mirror' refers to the human heart that can reflect the world outside the heart like a calm surface of water without any stance or prejudice. My uncle gave you this name.
, I hope you can transcend the Uchiha’s position and look at the relationship between the village and the Uchiha objectively without any distortion like Kagami-senpai did... Am I right?”
"As expected of Itachi, he can think so profoundly at once."
Zhisui's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, "But you only mentioned the deeper reason. Sometimes you can think more simply and superficially..."
"Well……"
Itachi blinked and shook his head honestly.
"I really can't think of the second one."
"It's actually very simple. The second meaning is that my father hopes that I can inherit the Water Release Ninjutsu that the Second Hokage is most proud of like my grandfather did."
After Zhisui gave the correct answer, he shrugged helplessly.
"It's a pity that like most of the tribe, I was born without water attribute chakara, and there is no result in developing changes in nature. At most, I can only use the geographical advantage to use some functional water escape ninjutsu. As for the development of the Second Hokage
Those powerful water escapes seem a bit useless to me.
"However, just when I thought that my grandfather's inheritance was about to be cut off, a water-bending genius that had never been seen in Uchiha suddenly appeared."
Having said this, Zhishui stopped talking.
He walked to the stone lamp at the door of the hut, pressed the top of the stone lamp and twisted it slightly, then lifted up the upper part.
Only then did Uchiha Itachi discover that the lower part of the stone lamp was hollow, with a long tube inside.
"this is……"
He watched the thing being taken out by Shisui and had a bold guess in his mind.
"That's what you think."
Zhisui nodded solemnly, opened the bamboo tube, and the scroll inside fell into his hands, with a rather complicated seal painted on it.
"This is the summary of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama's lifelong study of Water Release, as well as every Water Release Ninjutsu he created, all recorded on this scroll. The ones kept in the village are just its backup.
There is missing a lot of explanations and annotations by the second generation.”
He looked past Itachi, who was slightly dazed, and towards Giyuu, who still didn't know what this meant.
"Shisui, this kind of thing..."
Uchiha Itachi saw what he was thinking and quickly spoke out to dissuade him.
He understood the value of this thing, not just as a source of power that all ninjas longed for.
It is also Shisui's family heirloom, which is proof that the village and Uchiha also had a honeymoon period. After all, who would have thought that the second generation Hokage, who is hated by his clan to this day, would actually pass on his special ninjutsu to an Uchiha?
"I just took it out to show you off."
Shisui stopped Itachi in an understatement, and then explained: "The last time Giyuu fought with Uchiha Enhuo, didn't he hurt his hand because of excessive accumulation of chakra? There is a ninjutsu in it.
, this situation should be avoided...
"It's just that I can't use this technique myself, so I simply didn't learn it."
As he spoke, he unfolded the scroll and quickly searched it with his eyes, finally settling on a ninjutsu called Water Release and Water Blade Slash.
(This ninjutsu comes from the game "Naruto: Ultimate Storm" and is not in the comics and TV.)
Itachi carefully looked at the label written by Senju Tobirama himself and immediately understood the function of this ninjutsu.
Similar to Wind Release: Vacuum Blade and Uchiha Style: Sword Jump Flame, Water Release: Water Blade Slash is where the ninja spits water-based chakra onto kunai or other weapons, condensing it into a lengthened blade to increase the attack distance of the weapon.
