Chapter 144: Surprising Fugaku

"Thank you, Sensei. I am really thankful to you for teaching me the basics," Kaida said, bowing a little as if this was his last day of learning from Sora.

Hahahaha Sora laughed, seeing Kaida acting like that.

????

"Do you think I am going to stop teaching you or something? I was just saying that since normally a beginner only learns this much, it should be enough to complete the condition of your bet. Don't worry, since you are such a quick learner, I am planning on teaching you some more things before letting you go. Think of it as a favor from the great me," Sora said while raising his chin up.

"Thank you, Sensei. I am honored that you would continue teaching me further," Kaida shook his head and went with the flow.

"Of course, of course," Sora said with a wave of his hand.

"Now let's go. I can't wait to see another expression on that old man's face other than that serious expression he always makes," Sora said.

"Okay, Sensei," Kaida said and followed Sora to the clan headquarters.

...

"I want to meet the Clan Head. Is he free?" Sora went to the receptionist and asked.

"Yes, Sora-sama, the Clan Head is in his office. Let me just confirm if he is free or not," the receptionist said and went to Fugaku's office.

After 5 minutes, he came back with a smile on his face.

"Fugaku-sama is free and asking you to come to his office," the receptionist said.

"Okay," Sora said and gestured for Kaida to follow him.

knock knock

"Come in," Fugaku said in his characteristic serious and authoritative voice.

"Good evening, Fugaku-sama," Sora said as soon as he went inside the office, followed by Kaida, who also said the same thing.

"Good evening, both of you. Did something happen? Why are you guys here?" Fugaku asked.

"Nothing special. My student told me that you had made a bet with him about whether he could learn the basics in one month or not," Sora said.

"It was not a bet. We just had a simple deal that if he could master it in one month, the price of his next training would be reduced," Fugaku said, maintaining his serious expression, but deep down, he had a thought, 'There is no way in hell that this boy had actually learned the basics in one month, right?'

"Guess what? He was actually able to do that," Sora said with a smile, not minding the details. According to what he knew about Fugaku, he would never make a direct bet against someone like Kaida, who was the same age as his child. So that deal was the closest thing possible to a bet between Kaida and Fugaku.

"Are you here to do another prank? Then this time, I am not going to end it with a simple warning. You will be under house arrest for one month this time," Fugaku said with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Another?" Kaida asked.

"Long story, I'll tell you some other time," Sora winked toward Kaida after saying that. Kaida just shook his head.

"Fugaku-sama, I am not here for that reason at all. My student had actually learned the basics of Fuinjutsu. If you have any doubts, you can check yourself," Sora said with a smug smile on his face.

Fugaku looked toward Sora for some time and then sighed.

"Fine, let's just check directly," He said and rang the bell on his desk.

"Yes, sir?" Fugaku's secretary asked.

"Bring a complete set of Fuinjutsu equipment," Fugaku said.

"Okay, sir," The secretary replied and went to bring the set.

After 5 minutes, a set of papers, a brush, and ink was placed on Fugaku's desk.

"Now, Kaida, show me all the seals you can make," Fugaku said.

"Okay, Fugaku-sama," Kaida said and picked up the brush. One by one, he made four seals: the Hardening Seal, the Heat Seal, the Cold Seal, and the Concealment Seal. After making the last seal, he looked toward Fugaku and said, "Sir, till now, I only know these four seals."

Fugaku was really shocked this time. His eyes also went wide a little after seeing Kaida making a Concealment Seal.

Seeing this, Sora was really happy, as it was not easy to surprise someone who was the head of one of the most powerful clans in the world.

The amount of talent he had seen was not small. The only reason he was shocked was that Uchihas were not very talented in Fuinjutsu, and to be exact, no one was more talented in Fuinjutsu than the Uzumaki clan. The most talented person in Konoha who was not an Uzumaki took 4-5 months to learn the basics of Fuinjutsu.

But the catch was he didn't have as much chakra as Kaida had, so he was not able to spam shadow clones to increase his speed of learning, which Kaida did.

Though it didn't change the fact that Kaida was able to learn the basics in one month.

"Good job. As I had promised, the price of your next lesson is reduced. If you want, I will arrange for someone to teach you the knowledge to the seal master level of Fuinjutsu," Fugaku said after recomposing himself just after a few seconds.

"What do you mean finding someone to teach him? The person is sitting right in front of you, Fugaku-sama," Sora said, pointing toward himself.

"I am planning on arranging a grandmaster to teach him, Sora," Fugaku said.

"And I am almost a grandmaster," Sora said.

"Yes, you are ALMOST a grandmaster," Fugaku said.

"Umm, Fugaku-sama, I would really like it if I can continue learning under Sora-sensei," Kaida said.

sigh

"Okay, you can directly pay the amount to him just like before, and Sora, you can take the rest of your payment from the office afterward," Fugaku said and then went back to do his paperwork.

"What are you guys waiting for? If you don't have anything more to say, then you guys can leave," Fugaku said.

"Thank you, Fugaku-sama," both of them said and went out of the office.

hahahahaha

"That hard work was totally worth it. He was really surprised after seeing you making that Concealment Seal," Sora said.

"You are enjoying it too much, Sensei," Kaida said while shaking his head.

"Of course, I am. Do you even know how much my father used to scold me when he complained about my pranks to him?" Sora said with a pout.

'I am sure you will get along with a particular boy in the future,' Kaida thought with a smile on his face.
