11 The Uchiha Are All Useless!
After practicing for an afternoon, Kyōichi didn't say much extra, only answering when Might Duy asked questions. At first, Might Duy was doing pushups and other exercises, but later he also joined in practicing with Kyōichi.
"Sensei Kyōichi, can we train together again tomorrow?"
"I have class in the afternoon tomorrow, so I'll probably train for a bit in the morning. We can train together then."
Kyōichi said.
"Yes!"
"Sensei Kyōichi, thank you very much! Guy, look, there are still teachers who don't mind you. This is what youth is about!"
"Father!"
Might Duy was in tears.
Then, father and son hugged each other and cried.
Although it was just taijutsu, it held different meaning for them.
Previously, no one cared about them.
But.
Kyōichi didn't look down on them, and was even willing to share the taijutsu he had "researched" with them. In the process, he also explained some tips on exerting force and circulating chakra.
Even if they might not be able to use it, they were deeply moved.
Kyōichi was silent, not knowing what to say.
This father and son...
Were so eccentric!
But also great in the same way.
As an eternal genin, Might Duy was always mocked, but he secretly trained hard and mastered the Eight Gates Formation, most precious of all - his mentality was to protect.
In the end, Might Duy also embodied his own words.
Opening eight gates, protecting Guy and two other children, while also killing four members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
A true practitioner of the Will of Fire.
And Guy almost kicked out the big finale.
"Guy!"
"Father!"
"..."
Forget it, I should just leave.
Otherwise I'll feel like my image is shattered.
Kyōichi silently left.
He glanced at the system panel, where a prompt flashed by.
[Completed taijutsu teaching.]
[Evaluation: Good]
[Reward:
1. Eight Gates Formation - Gate of Life
2. Seven-Day Breathing Method - Third Vitality
Host can choose one.]
Choose a reward?
Kyōichi was surprised.
Was it because there were high level shinobi like Might Duy among those he taught?
Hard to judge.
He could make further observations later. For now, he should think about which to choose.
Both were very powerful!
The Eight Gates?
Kyōichi really admired their flair in the manga.
But first, the Eight Gates Formation could be learned through proper channels. Second, opening the first three gates wasn't too difficult.
On the other hand, the Seven-Day Breathing Method.
This was a taijutsu uniquely created by Shira. No one else knew it, and Shira himself probably had just been born recently.
In other words.
This was one of a kind in the shinobi world!
Thinking of this, he had already made up his mind.
"System, I choose the Seven-Day Breathing Method."
[Selection successful]
The next moment, the methods of the Seven-Day Breathing Method from the First Vitality to the Third Vitality appeared in Kyōichi's mind.
Everything was there.
Kyōichi adjusted his breathing frequency according to the First Vitality.
Soon, he felt the difference.
However, cell division was limited. Like other ninjutsu that stimulated cells, the Seven-Day Breathing Method also had the flaw of potentially decreasing lifespan...
But the Senju lineage already had strong vitality.
Like Tsunade's Hundred Healings, which consumed life force to speed up healing, yet she had used it so many times and was still bursting with energy, stronger than anyone else.
Also, in the future he could transplant Hashirama's cells to replace his own aging ones.
So.
This wasn't too big of an issue.
"After getting to know this father and son, I can also exchange for the Eight Gates Formation... Perfect!"
Kyōichi gave himself a mental thumbs up.
Now this was making full use of everything!
The next day.
He really did get up early to go out and train. Even the shadow clone staying home was stunned.
This guy was serious!
When Kyōichi went out, he soon met Might Duy and his son.
After training together that morning, Kyōichi didn't get any reward this time, because everyone just trained together without exchanging too much. However, Might Duy and his son's attitude towards him was clearly different.
Might Duy even wanted to recommend him that green bodysuit.
Of course.
It was swiftly rejected by Kyōichi.
If he had to wear that ugly thing to school, he'd probably be laughed to death by teachers and students. The hard-earned prestige he had accumulated would vanish in an instant.
...
"Kyōichi Kamida? Fugaku, this person must have been sent by the Third, how insidious!"
"Shisui skips class every day, his reputation is terrible."
"Fugaku, you must discipline him, otherwise our Uchiha prodigy will be wasted."
With the end of the war, Uchiha shinobi gradually returned from the frontlines. The clan elders who previously had opinions about Shisui's recent behavior all came to Fugaku's home.
The so-called enrollment was just for show. In reality, the Uchiha's thinking was simple - have Shisui attend the Academy for a few months, then directly apply for early graduation and return to the clan's police force for training.
What was a jōnin sensei?
Nothing compared to their own clansmen.
However.
Now Shisui's behavior seemed to deviate from their plans.
Amidst the noisy chatter, Fugaku's brows were deeply furrowed. He wanted to get angry but was also helpless.
These were all respected elders of the clan.
Each was highly prestigious. Even within the clan he was restricted on all sides, unable to fully implement his own ideas. So even if he was furious inside he could only endure.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly said: "Why doesn't one of the elders go and discuss this with Lord Third?"
"This is..."
At the mention of going to discuss it, everyone instantly fell silent.
Discuss?
How to discuss?
The Third looked amenable on the surface but was sly underneath. And there was still that crafty Danzo supporting him. If they went to chat with the Third, they wanted no part in it.
The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.
Fugaku sighed and said: "This matter... I will discuss with Shisui. Esteemed elders, if there is nothing else, please disperse."
In fact, he knew quite a bit of information.
Kyōichi Kamida.
Descendant of the Senju clan.
Additionally, this person was suspected to have awakened his lineage, and his strength had been growing rapidly lately. When Fugaku returned to the village, the Third had even mentioned wanting to promote Kyōichi to jōnin.
From this it could be seen, Kyōichi was likely the Third's man.
Go discuss?
Fugaku sighed helplessly. He glanced at his child still learning to walk, took a deep breath, then went out.
Heading for the Academy.
He wanted to see Shisui's current situation.
...
At the Academy.
All the children were standing in the training grounds.
The Three Shinobi Arts evaluation was complete.
Basically all students were proficient.
Many children simply lacked the opportunity to come into contact with such knowledge, and weren't actually much less talented. With clansmen like Asuma teaching them, they quickly caught up.
Now Kyōichi was going to fulfill his promise and teach the Body Flicker Technique.
"The Body Flicker Technique itself is a D-rank ninjutsu, but it continues to be used even at the jōnin level."
"Mastery depends on the details."
"In our class, the best at the Body Flicker is Shisui... Shisui, you demonstrate first."
Kyōichi called on him.
Shisui hadn't reached the level of Shisui of the Body Flicker yet, but he had already shown talent. His Flicker was the best in the class, even mixed grade higher years couldn't compare.
Kyōichi had him come closer, then...
Whoosh!
In an instant, he appeared in another spot.
