Chapter 7

"What's Shisui doing?"

"He's...helping the civilians carry water and firewood."

"Huh?"

Hiruzen's gaze flashed with a hint of confusion.

For a moment, he thought he had heard the wrong name, that he had misheard Obito as Shisui, but after a moment, he realized that he was not that old and that his men were not so dumb that they had misidentified someone.

He froze for a long time.

Then he put down the pipe in his hand.

"Shisui is helping carry water and firewood?"

"Yes."

The Anbu were confused too.

Carrying water and firewood was supposed to be the work of a Genin.

But so many tasks have been accumulated, and they are usually done in the field without anyone seeing them.

However, Shisui had a great deal of talent.

What's the point of him going to a civilian's house to work for nothing like Obito instead of training?

"Well…I see."

Hiruzen waved his hand, gesturing for him to go down.

And after they left, the first thing he did was to pull out his crystal ball and perform the telescope technique.

Not long afterwards.

In the crystal ball, a picture emerged of Obito and Shisui helping to collect water together.

Hiruzen was surprised.

He didn't understand why Shisui had joined in with them.

Could it be Obito?

Or is it Fugaku Uchiha?

Hiruzen frowned.

If it was Obito with Shisui, that would be fine, but if it was Fugaku Uchiha, that would be a real problem.

He subconsciously lit his cigarette.

As he thought about it, another person came to mind.

Kyoichi Kanda.

I had heard that since Kyoichi had become a teacher, Shisui had been getting closer to him, and later they had a bowl of noodles at Ichiraku Ramen.

Could it be him?

It's possible.

Thinking of this, Mashiro looked up the Anbu reports from the previous two days.

On it was written what they had seen and heard.

"Strong body, great ability to recover, uses shadow clone to speed up training, practices swordsmanship in the courtyard, suspected to have notes on Nidaime-sama's Konoha swordsmanship."

According to the Anbu's observations.

Although Kyoichi's body is not as formidable as Lord Hashirama's, it is not too different from the Senjus.

There is no doubt about the bloodline of the Senju!

As for the swordsmanship notes.

The Kanda family was a close relative of Sensei back in the day...

Hiruzen's heart sank.

He had never imagined that the Senju clan would be lost, and then one day the descendants of the Senju would awaken to such a powerful physique again.

Of course.

If that were all, Hiruzen would have had his doubts.

Not everyone would want to see the Senju clan disappear, and he had a few worries.

But...

If the change in Shisui was really due to Kyoichi Kanda, then it would be a great joy, for it would prove that the descendant of the Uchiha, who had awakened in another generation, still had the fire in his heart.

After some thought, Hiruzen took out the list of the Shinobi tests and added one more to it.

Kyoichi Kanda!

...

For the next two days, there was no class for Kyouichi.

When he arrived at school on the third day, he sat in his office and heard another teacher in another class complaining to another teacher.

"I don't know what's going on, but Uchiha Shisui has started to come late lately."

"I'm sure he's learning from Obito."

"It's true, every time Shisui is late, he's part of it."

Is Shisui late now too?

Kyoichi was surprised, and then his face looked odd.

That's great!

I told him to go and observe, I didn't ask him to learn how to work with dirt.

"Kyoichi, today is your first lesson, if those two boys are late again, you can't be soft, if you are soft the first time, they won't know how to be scared the second or third time."

"Yes, thank you Ishimura-senpai."

Kyoichi nodded.

As the time approached, Ishimura was about to pick up his things and head for class when he glanced outside and saw two figures swishing and swooshing past the door.

Although they were fast, the teachers were at least Chunin, so they could see them clearly.

Shisui and Obito.

"..."

Inside the office, the atmosphere was sombre for a moment.

The class hadn't even started yet.

They hadn't been like this two days before, and even occasionally Shisui had taken the lead in skipping class, but when it came to Kyoichi Kanda's class, they were not late, but even early.

I thought it was because of his bad behaviour.

But I didn't realize that he just didn't like his class.

I was so upset.

Ishimura stared at Kyouichi and watched him leave the office, then banged his head against the desk in shame.

"Ishimura-sensei, not so much, just two kids....."

"No, the temporary teacher is more popular than me, it's hard!"

Ishimura was in tears.

He thought he had been teaching for more than ten years and had graduated countless ninjas, but in the end, he was not as popular as a temporary transferee.

The other teachers were silent for a moment.

Kyoichi Kanda was out of the office, but in fact, he heard him.

I couldn't help it.

His senses are up and his ears are getting better.

All he can say about this is...

The people he teaches are all dry and they are no match for him.

When he arrived at the classroom.

Everyone was sitting upright.

"Today, I saw that Obito and Shisui rushed to class using the Body Flicker Technique, it's very good, so here's the first test of the three body techniques. If there's nothing wrong, I'll give you a lecture on the Body Flicker ."

Kyoichi said after some thought.

He hadn't taught anything new in the last few days, and even the system had stopped bubbling.

Today I'll teach you something new.

Arise!

This is actually a D-rank jutsu, but in different hands, the effect is very different, and it is also a basic Jutsu worth practising.

"Yes!"

The classroom was filled with joy.

Of course.

The reason is that a large proportion of people have not mastered the three body techniques.

When Kyouichi looked around, he smiled and said, "Don't be too happy, we are in a special time, so the higher and lower grades are mixed together and taught, I see the whole, understand?"

"Yes!"

Kurenai, Asuma and a few other senior students instantly understood the meaning. (I just filled Sunset with Asuma. I have no idea who that is)

They were slow and useless.

If many people in the class are not yet skilled in the Three Body Technique, they will have to wait for those who are slow to catch on.

If you want to learn the Body Flicker technique earlier, you have to help the children who are lagging behind to get up to speed.

Obito knew that he had a part to play in this.

But he had faith.

In the past two or three days with Shisui, he had not always been good and had occasionally asked his talented brother for advice.

Tested it out and sure enough.

Although most of them had mastered it, half of them had not learnt to climb trees and walk on water, and they were relatively rusty in the three body techniques.

At this point, many of the talented people in the class began to write and give handouts, and think of ways to motivate others in the class.

During the free practice period...

Most of them quickly approached those who were lagging behind.

Kyoichi admired his genius.

We had to catch the underachievers, but now we've solved them all.

Who says they're bad, it's fine!

But...

One of the students caught his attention.

Hayate Gekko

The boy is very gifted and learns quickly, but...

"Kuhum, to transform and clone Jutsu together, you have to know how to distribute chakra, and make hand seals fast, you can finish climbing the tree first, kuhum, I'll teach you."

This cough...

That's a bit fierce bro!
