Glancing back at the Uchiha clan's residence, Kyomu also recalled another remarkable Uchiha.
Uchiha Shisui.
He is five years younger than Kyomu and currently only two years old.
It goes without saying that Shisui's talent in genjutsu is exceptional. The doujutsu "Kotoamatsukami" born after awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan, is a manifestation of his outstanding genjutsu talent.
Of course, it was not only the increase in genjutsu talent, but Kyomu also has a feeling that his talent in Body Flicker Technique has suddenly improved.
Genjutsu and Body Flicker Technique, the combination of these two sharply increased talents, who else besides Shisui could possess them?
"It's just that his mind isn't very bright," Kyomu smirked. "You sacrificed your family for the sake of everyone, but has this village ever sacrificed something for you?"
This isn't Kyomu being narrow-minded... well, let's just say it's narrow-minded. After all, he doesn't have the same enlightenment as Shisui.
With his hands in his pockets, Kyomu continued to stroll around without lingering near the major ninja clan residences for long, instead focusing his attention on the residential area.
There are two tough guys living here.
Turning around the winding alleys, when he reached a two-story building, Kyomu's spirits suddenly lifted.
Looking up at the room where the lights had already gone out, Kyomu quickly left. It's better to leave once the goal is achieved, without giving others time to react.
"So Minato is already living with Kushina?" After getting farther away, Kyomu began to mutter to himself, "That makes sense. Both of them just turned 18 this year."
It saves him the trouble of finding both of them, Kyomu won't say anything about their relationship. Besides, in his opinion, when it comes to men and women reaching a certain age and depth of feelings, taking that step is just normal.
"Kushina's talent in sealing jutsu and perception is truly unmatched in Konoha. But it's not surprising. The Uzumaki clan is unique in these two aspects.
As for Namikaze Minato, he's really an untapped treasure."
Kyomu carefully comprehended the various talents he possesses, pinpointing the contributions made by Minato.
"Talent in Body Flicker Technique is stronger than Shisui's, and even stronger is the talent in space ninjutsu.
In addition, the talent in Sage Mode cultivation and Wind Chakra Nature is only slightly weaker than the above two talents, this guy really is unparalleled in Konoha."
Unable to help but glance back at the residential house behind him, Kyomu couldn't help but shake his head and lament, "If it weren't for your early demise, you could have had a broader stage, but fate is unpredictable..."
Putting away some of the emotions in his heart, Kyomu resumed his pace towards home.
Having almost circled around Konoha, among the cream of the crop, Kyomu's individual talents are tied for first place with only one other person in the village. But in terms of overall talent, Aragami Kyomu is undoubtedly the most worthy!
"Rest up, let's get started tomorrow."
---
The next morning, Kyomu didn't hesitate to intercept Obito, Rin, and Guy at the entrance of the ninja school.
"Skipping class again..." Rin, being a diligent student, sighed. "You got a lecture from teacher last time you skipped."
Obito felt somewhat awkward. On one hand, there was his good friend Kyomu, on the other hand, his crush. He hesitated for a moment and ended up not saying anything.
Guy, on the other hand, was quite excited. Whether or not he skipped class, he was always at the bottom of the class, but after skipping class, he could learn a lot from Kyomu.
Moreover, since Kyomu and Kakashi graduated, his encounters with them became fewer and fewer. Especially when the two went on missions, it was common not to see them for ten days or even half a month.
Without frequent encounters, there was naturally no chance to spar, without sparring, there was no chance to learn from failure, and without learning from failure, how could one discover shortcomings and make progress?
"Kyomu, it's okay, I'll go with you." Guy declared.
Kyomu turned to Rin. "I'll talk to teacher about this. Just trust me."
"Well... all right," Rin agreed. "But you can only skip class for one day."
Finally, Kyomu's gaze fell on Obito. "What about you, you forgetful guy?"
Obito blushed, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Since Rin doesn't mind, I don't have a problem either."
Giving Obito a punch on the shoulder, Kyomu felt somewhat helpless but didn't say much more.
Obito's temperament was just like this. As long as he didn't go too far, there was no need to completely change him. Kyomu didn't have the time for that right now.
Waving his hand, "I'll go talk to teacher. You guys go directly to the place we used to go to and rendezvous with Kakashi."
The group went their separate ways, and after two years, Aragami Kyomu once again met with Teacher Shuzo.
After exchanging pleasantries, Kyomu casually mentioned about taking Kakashi and the others to skip class. Shuzo gave him the green light after a little lecture.
His former students' strengths were already beyond his comprehension. He estimated that he wouldn't last five moves against Kyomu.
But as he watched Kyomu leave, Shuzo felt extremely relieved. The more talented and powerful his former student became, the more pride he felt as a teacher!
In no time, the five-person team from the past reunited.
With simple chitchat, the five quickly found the atmosphere they had back in the old days, and the temporarily cooled bonds of friendship reignited.
"I feel like my mind is much more agile," Obito tapped his forehead. "Is this the power of friendship?!" (T/N: Are you a member of Fairy Tail?!)
"It's the power of youth," Guy corrected him solemnly.
"Oh, come on, Obito's just had a sudden breakthrough, no need to attach so much meaning to it, right?" Kakashi targeted Obito as usual. "We're all this age, and if you don't have a breakthrough by now, when will he?"
"Kakashi!" Obito shouted angrily, preparing to fight Kakashi.
Seeing this, Kyomu sighed and quickly separated the two.
"You two calm down. Time waits for no one, it's better to focus on training."
"Kyomu, what's your plan?" Kakashi had a cold demeanor. "Our training progress is different from theirs."
Kakashi was direct, but it was a fact.
Being two years ahead, after graduating, Kyomu and Kakashi left Obito and the others far behind. Their shadows couldn't even be seen.
"It's simple." Kyomu had thought about it yesterday. "It's a very basic but difficult-to-master technique that can make our training objectives highly consistent."
Kakashi didn't interject, only showing a questioning look, indicating Kyomu to continue.
"Body Flicker Technique." Kyomu gave the answer. "I think everyone understands the characteristics of Body Flicker Technique. Once mastered, its effects are remarkable, it's a jutsu that can create miracles."
"Although that's true, the threshold for mastering Body Flicker Technique and its upper limit are quite awkward," Kakashi frowned. "Only by mastering higher-level chakra applications can you truly refine Body Flicker Technique to the highest level.
But if you have that ability, why bother mastering Body Flicker Technique? Practicing a few B-rank or even A-rank ninjutsu is better, with higher upper limits and wider application."
Kakashi was right, otherwise Body Flicker Technique wouldn't be so mediocre.
This jutsu tests talent too much. People without talent in this area wouldn't waste a lot of energy on this jutsu.
"Don't worry, with my keen observation, you all have nearly perfect talent in Body Flicker Technique."
"You must be kidding." Kakashi shook his head. "I know my situation very well. Body Flicker Technique..."
"Let's not jump to conclusions. Just perform a Body Flicker Technique and see for yourself." Kyomu didn't elaborate. "No practice, no say, right?"
Seeing Kyomu's insistence, Kakashi naturally went along with it, either to make him give up or to let him see the reality. He then used a Body Flicker Technique.
As Kakashi came to a stop, he looked puzzled for a moment, but then his eyes lit up.
My talent in Body Flicker Technique is so strong!
Why didn't I notice it before?
But it's not too late now. If I work hard, I might surpass Kyomu in this aspect.
But when Kakashi came to his senses, he saw the same look of excitement on the faces of Obito and Rin.
What's going on? Did my friends all got enlighten at the same time?
