Chapter 21: Learning hand seals and the three-body technique!
Sasuke: ...
Well, he is indeed a little brat now.
Under the excited and fiery gazes of the elders, Sasuke had no choice but to stretch out a finger and press it into the bowl of soup in front of him.
His fingers touched the soup, but they didn't get wet.
Instead, it was as if he was pressing on a piece of jelly, pressing the soup down and causing it to sink and shake continuously.
Duang! Duang!
The soup is bouncy and full of elasticity.
When the elders saw this scene, their eyes lit up.
"It's treading water indeed!!"
"Gather the chakra at your fingertips to create a supporting force so that you don't fall into the soup."
"And so skilled!"
"Sasuke, you are indeed the most talented one in the history of our family!"
"The grand scene of the Uchiha seems to be not far away!"
The elders sighed.
When Sasuke was only one year old, he learned to climb trees and walk on water without any instruction.
If he were a few years older, wouldn't he have the strength of a jonin?
When he comes of age, I'm afraid he will be able to control the entire ninja world under his feet!
"Fugaku..."
The elders looked at each other for a few moments, exchanged glances, and turned towards Fugaku.
They went somewhere else to talk.
Sasuke guessed that they were probably discussing his training, so he looked away indifferently and continued to eat his breakfast with his head down.
…
A group of elders surrounded Fugaku and expressed their opinions in a flurry.
"Sasuke's talent is even better than we thought!"
"Yes, the usual training program is no longer suitable."
"We can be a little more bold."
"That's right, start teaching Sasuke training in advance."
"That kid is suited to the way of striding forward."
Fugaku felt overwhelmed after hearing this.
Start guiding Sasuke's training in advance?
You must be kidding!
How can a one-year-old child withstand the intensity of the practice?
This is not the Warring States Period. Children who are one year old start to pick up kunai and learn killing techniques.
Is it really that urgent?
"Elders, aren't you a little too anxious?" Fugaku said helplessly.
But what answered him were the disgusted looks from the elders.
"What do you know? Geniuses have their own way of being trained!"
"Fugaku, you're not a genius, so it's normal that you don't understand..."
"Sasuke has learned to climb trees and tread water, do you still think of him as a normal one-year-old?"
"Yeah, I heard that I'm almost done learning the theoretical knowledge by myself."
"If I don't start the next step of training now, will Sasuke just play around like an ordinary kid for the next few years?"
The elder spat.
Fugaku was speechless and was forced to step back by the sharp words.
As the patriarch, he has no deterrent power in front of his tribesmen.
Even though he is an elder, he can still stand up to him.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Fugaku was also aware of his lack of prestige and strength, and agreed with a sweat on his forehead.
…
…
The next day.
Sasuke was taken by Fugaku to the forest near Nanga Shrine and began to be taught training.
"Ahem…"
Fugaku coughed twice in a pretentious manner and said, "Now that you have learned how to climb trees and tread water, it's time to start formal training."
"Today, I will teach you the official ninja seal!"
"There are twelve basic seals in total, and eight special seals. Watch out!"
Fugaku stretched out his hands and formed seals methodically.
Very slow.
Enough for Sasuke to see clearly.
Of course, Sasuke can learn it without slowing down.

"Do you understand?" Fugaku demonstrated all twenty seals and asked, "How many did you remember?"
"I remember them all." Sasuke replied.
"Oh, I remembered everything... What!?"
Fugaku was a little slow to react, staring at Sasuke in astonishment, and asked in surprise: "You...you remembered everything?"
Sasuke didn't say anything, he just stretched out his tender hands and began to make seals.
Twelve basic seals!
Eight special seals!
From beginning to end, it was completed completely!
"..." Fugaku looked stunned.
He never expected that Sasuke learned all the hand seals after just one look.
What an exaggerated memory this is?
"Ahem..." Fugaku took a deep breath, nodded calmly, and said, "Well done, but don't be complacent. Let's start the next learning content now."
In fact, Fugaku's heart was already in turmoil.
"Okay." Sasuke nodded obediently, pretending not to notice Fugaku's slightly twitching eyes.
He laughed inwardly, thinking that his learning speed must have shocked his old father.
Fugaku's expression became unnatural.
"Next, we will learn the Three Body Techniques." Fugaku said, "The Three Body Techniques is the lowest level E-level ninjutsu, and it is also the basic ninjutsu that every ninja needs to master."
"They are, respectively, the clone technique, the substitute technique, and the transformation technique."
"Also, when you graduate from the Ninja School, you're tested on your level of Bunshinjutsu."
After Fugaku finished speaking, he began to demonstrate the seals of the three techniques.
