Chapter 10: The Uchiha Clan's Heritage!
Chapter 10: The Uchiha Clan's Heritage!
"I'm Uchiha Dohei. I love sleeping and playing games, and my dream is to grow old in peace and tranquility while lying down!"
Dohei shared his dream, and it left Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake, who didn't know him well, with a newfound respect.
Yes, unlike others, he didn't dream of becoming the Hokage.
That kind of ambition was better left to those in the Hokage lineage. Even someone as powerful as Madara Uchiha never had a chance to ascend to that position. Dohei didn't believe that anyone outside the Hokage lineage could ever sit in that chair.
This was proven true in the future. In the "Boruto" series, the Hokage was still from the Hokage lineage. How "democratic" of them!
It just goes to show that many aspects of anime can be quite unsettling when you think about them.
After the introductions, Minato Namikaze began explaining some basic shinobi knowledge as they walked, such as combat techniques and battlefield traps.
These things were not taught in school because they were always changing. Relying on school teachings could easily lead to unexpected situations. The role of a team leader was to use their experience to help newcomers avoid unnecessary detours.
This successful model became the mainstream in the shinobi world, and Dohei found it incredibly beneficial.
For example, the small tricks for forming hand seals allowed him to cast jutsu more quickly. These were definitely his weak points. The Uchiha clan wouldn't teach him, and no one at school would either. He had to rely on his own connections to learn summoning techniques, or he would have been out of luck.
Jutsu!
Only by truly entering the shinobi world did he realize how difficult it was to obtain them. School only taught D-rank jutsu like the Transformation, Substitution, and Body Flicker techniques. Those who knew other jutsu had either learned them from their families or their mentors.
Thus, both Dohei and Yamashiro Koji listened with rapt attention. Only Kakashi wasn't as focused. His father was the famous "White Fang of Konoha," and he had been trained by him from a young age, so he already knew these things.
Soon, they arrived at the training ground. Konoha had many training grounds, and all you needed to do was apply in advance. Even the major shinobi clans had their own training grounds.
These "training grounds" were essentially just open fields with throwing targets and wooden posts. The destructive power of shinobi was so great that if the facilities were too elaborate, the repair costs would be astronomical. So, these simple training grounds were the best choice. The key was that there couldn't be any ordinary villagers around.
"Let's begin the tests now!"
Minato Namikaze announced the start of the evaluations. If it were another team leader, they wouldn't have gone through such trouble. The duty of a team leader was to help newly graduated genin get familiar with the shinobi profession, not to force them to provide guidance. They might offer some help if they found someone particularly promising.
But Minato Namikaze, with his serious and responsible nature, was a godsend for his students. He not only provided guidance but also taught jutsu. That's why a good teacher was so important.
The tests included kunai throwing, physical fitness, close combat techniques, chakra extraction, hand seal formation speed, and the three basic jutsu, among others. Each of these was a fundamental aspect of being a shinobi.
Being a shinobi wasn't just about mastering powerful jutsu. Many strong shinobi lost their lives on the battlefield because their fundamentals were lacking. The most famous example was Senju Inori. As a direct descendant of the Senju clan, he lost his life to a simple explosive tag trap. His teacher was none other than Orochimaru, one of the Sannin. Despite his elite lineage and status, he fell easily on the battlefield due to his weak fundamentals, highlighting their importance.
"Alright, I've assessed your abilities. Starting tomorrow, I will create personalized training plans for each of you!"
Minato Namikaze looked at the panting group in front of him and made his judgment. Kakashi had the most talent, followed by Yamashiro Koji, and the worst was Uchiha Dohei. The fact that Dohei could master the summoning technique was, under normal circumstances, impossible.
The difficulty of learning is secondary.
The real issue is that, given his physical condition, it's impossible for him to have so much chakra.
He's a civilian! His identity as a commoner is no secret.
His surname was only adopted after he married into the Uchiha clan, so while it's normal for Uchiha clan members to use C-rank jutsu at a young age, it doesn't mean he can do the same.
The advantage of a shinobi clan lies in their bloodline.
Shinobi clans not only have advantages in training and development but also in their innate abilities, which are influenced by the previous generation.
Of course, even if this was discovered, Minato Namikaze didn't ask any questions. Shinobi keep their secrets, and no one probes into them.
That's enough for today.
The mission starts tomorrow.
"Here are your headbands. Congratulations, you are now official Genin of Konoha. Meet at the Hokage Tower tomorrow. Dismissed!"
Minato threw the headbands to them and left with a single command.
Remember, being a shinobi is a military profession.
Superior orders are absolute.
Even if it means sending you to your death, you can't disobey.
Yes, it's that cold-blooded.
White Fang was forced to his death for saving someone during a mission.
He was a powerful shinobi, even on par with the Hokage, and the Sannin would bow to him. Yet, he was still forced to die.
This shows the consequences of not following the rules.
So, disobeying orders can result in immediate execution, and it wouldn't be considered unjust.
As for the misuse of power, there's no need to worry.
Shinobi have various secret techniques and genjutsu to ensure no one is wrongfully punished.
After the dismissal, the three of them dispersed.
In the past, Tang Ping would have gone back to his rented place to conduct research.
But now, he could only return to the clan grounds.
Even if the Uchiha clan negotiated with the village, he was still wary of Danzo's lack of honor and feared he might take action against him.
Upon returning to the clan grounds, a senior Uchiha woman from the main house reminded him.
"Yae-sama has gone on an urgent mission. Your things have been set up!"
The Uchiha clan reveres strength.
In the past, they looked down on Tang Ping because he was a 'waste.' Now that they know he defeated Kakashi, their attitude has improved significantly.
In the past, they wouldn't have bothered with him at all.
"Thank you, Aunt Muxiang!"
After thanking her, Tang Ping quickly returned to his living quarters.
He wasn't surprised that Yae had gone on a mission.
She was known for being a taskaholic, and it's no wonder she became a 'Special Jonin' at such a young age.
As long as she completes enough missions and improves her strength, she can naturally be promoted to Jonin.
In Konoha, the status of a Jonin is vastly different from that of a non-Jonin, and they can even vote to decide the next Hokage.
To become a true head of the household, she must first become a Jonin. Right now, she's only a nominal head.
Becoming the head of the household means having power second only to the clan leader, with the ability to control the entire branch.
Because of the importance of the head of the household, it's a position that attracts many covetous eyes.
Of course, if you have the absolute strength of Madara Uchiha, you can forcefully subdue the clan.
As Tang Ping quickly descended into the basement, he was taken aback.
New and exquisite experimental instruments were neatly arranged, along with a large number of books and scrolls.
Many of these books and scrolls belonged to the Uchiha clan.
As a prestigious clan in the shinobi world, the Uchiha clan has a wealth of knowledge and resources.
When Tang Ping pulled out one of the scrolls, he felt he had struck gold.
"Nature and Analysis of Chakra!"
He then saw the author of the scroll.
Madara Uchiha!
Wow, Tang Ping couldn't help but exclaim.
When it comes to understanding chakra, the 'Shinobi Demon' Madara Uchiha is undoubtedly more knowledgeable than even the God of Shinobi.
While Hashirama Senju might be stronger, he wouldn't write something like this.
It's worth it!
Just this scroll alone is more valuable to Tang Ping than his 'by-products,' let alone the other materials.
With great excitement, he continued to examine the rest.
