Chapter 185 Genin

Aoi then walked toward her. After feeding him, she left, patting his head and letting him play with the wooden toys. A flash of pity flashed through her eyes. 'My son didn't let me adopt him. Such a good boy.' She sighed and then left.

Aoi glanced at her back calmly; he knew why she was sighing. 

'Thankfully, her son is not a good person, or it will be extremely troublesome for me; after adoption, my secrets would have been exposed.' Aoi thought, fortunately, and then glanced at the grasshopper inside the clothes. He still felt hungry after eating fruit and milk.

After walking inside his house kitchen, looking at the iron stove above his head, he became speechless, then glanced around, looking at a round iron box that has small holes inside in the corner. His eyes lit up. 'Heater.' 

He then put a small wood piece inside. They glanced around; there was no match box. He then glanced at the shelf above, seeing a match box there. An annoyed expression shrouded his face. After thinking for a while, 

He appeared outside the house, and after searching for a while, he found a long stick, then returned to the kitchen after pulling the stick hardly. 

"Huff, Huff," Taking deep breaths, he says, 'It's exhausting.' This one-year-old body is really weak; thankfully, it's a Shinobi world, or I would be lying in bed right now.'

After waving in toward the match box above the shelf, instantly the match box fell to the ground. He hurriedly burned the wood block inside the heater, looking at the flame. 

Then he grabbed the long wooden chopstick, inserted it in the grasshopper's, and roasted them above the flame one by one. 

Looking at the cabinets above, 'Next, I have to start chakra extraction regularly so my body can jump and move freely like an adult.' Aoi thought, then smelled a woody smell in the air. Looking at the dark red grasshopper, 'It's ready.' 

He put it away, then fried another one. After frying them all, he left the kitchen after restoring it like before and hiding the matchbox and chopstick. 

After grinding those fried grasshoppers into small pieces with stones, he ate them and swallowed them. 'It tastes like popcorn's,' Aoi thought, then his brow furrowed thoughtfully. 'There is no seasoning, but it is still barely edible.'

After finishing the meal, he sat cross-legged and started practicing the chakra extraction. He is avoiding physical exercises because they may affect his physical growth, height, and other factors. He will start physical exercises at the age of three or four; now he can't even speak.

'From previous chakra extraction, I have analyzed that my resurrection talent can restore my status to the exact moment of death; my soul and physical energy are restored to full, but it doesn't remove negative effects like hunger; it can restore injury, though.' Aoi thought, then closed his eyes and started sensing the chakra cell's

Slowly, starlight lit up in his senses. 'It's feasible to extract again after physical restoration; the only drawback is hunger.' Aoi's heart became excited, then he suppressed his excitement and started focusing on those stars.

After a while,

Thud!!!

Time passed, but the time was reduced to half.

Resurrection!!!

Aoi opened his eyes, feeling the movement in the house. He turned and glanced at a few figures standing in his home, looking at him with pity. A middle-aged man and a female were expressionlessly standing there. 

Only Grandma was sitting beside him. She saw his eyes open, and a relieved expression flashed through her eyes. She became a little distressed. 

"Mother, leave him alone; anyway, he will live for a few years only. Premature birth can't survive; don't associate with such a child; he is bad luck; my sister and her family died because of him." The middle-aged Uchiha spoke, looking at him in disgust, 'Waste.'

"Go away; don't say such things in front of a child." Grandma replied angrily; pain flashed through her eyes, recalling her daughter.

"Mother-in-law, as you already know, his body is defective upon birth; he may not be able to become a ninja in the future. He will just ruin the reputation of the Uchiha clan if he survives." The lady spoke; she is the wife of the old woman's son.

"You both go; after feeding him, I will return; I will take care of him, even if he lives for a day." Grandma said, sending them away, 

"Do whatever you want; don't call us again for such a waste." The middle-aged man spoke expressionlessly, then left with his wife.

Aoi glanced at them speechlessly and said, 'These arrogant clowns don't know the horror they will encounter a few years later.'

Then he glanced at the grandma; a luster flushed through his pupil. 'I am leaving the Uchiha fate in her hands; if she is alive till the Uchiha massacre, I will save the Uchiha clan. If she couldn't make it, then Uchiha clan annihilation is inevitable.'

…

Soon, two years passed.

Three-year-old small Aoi stood beside a grave expressionlessly, then turned around and said, 'She couldn't make it; it seems the Uchiha clan is really unlucky.' He then returned to his new house because, because the Uchiha clan had been transferred to the outskirts of Konoha, a remote courtyard was allotted to him.

This courtyard house is larger than the previous one, with more spacious land and trees.

Looking at the clean and sparkling courtyard, he cleans it every month. There is even a pond beside the well at the corner of the house, where he raises fish. These fish are wild, fast-reproductive, and extremely healthy. He feeds them grasshopper meat powder every three days, recycling the water in the pond every day.

Then he eats them almost regularly: "After extracting the deadly chakra for almost two years, probably I have Genin level chakra now; my age was very small, or I would be a Jōnin or Kage by now, if I were reborn as six years old." Aoi muttered, then glanced at the tree inside his lawn.
