Chapter 76: A Good Student Only Needs to Read it Once
Chapter 76: A Good Student Only Needs to Read it Once
Following Yu Yi Xuan Yue's instructions to first solidify his foundation, Uchiha Sasuke obediently complied without any objections.
His mentor for this task was none other than Uchiha Izumi.
As someone who had also awakened the Three Tomoe Sharingan at an early age, Uchiha Izumi had undergone the rigorous Uchiha elite training, solidifying her knowledge in various fields. Coupled with her innate attentiveness, she was the most suitable candidate among the Uchiha.
With Sasuke's training underway, Yu Yi Xuan Yue turned his attention away from the Uchiha for the time being and focused on addressing various internal matters concerning the Yu Yi Clan.
As the spiritual and de facto leader, his re-emergence had quickly unified the once-scattered thoughts of the different Yu Yi factions, reintegrating them into a cohesive whole.
In this regard, there was much work to be done for Yu Yi Xuan Yue as the clan leader. He needed to grasp the current state of the Yu Yi Clan, understanding the full extent of the power at his disposal.
After all, having a powerful backer had proven its worth during their previous search for Shennong and in probing Sasuke's movements.
Speaking of Shennong, Yu Yi Xuan Yue set down the highly confidential documents detailing the members of the Yu Yi Clan and turned to Ali, who was temporarily acting as his female secretary, and asked, "What about Shennong, the last time I asked you to bring him in?"
"He has been kept in detention," replied Ali, her demeanor graceful and refined as she wore a snow-white kimono. "Additionally, we extracted some very important intelligence from his memories."
Ali had come prepared and handed over a scroll containing the intelligence gathered on Shennong.
Yu Yi Xuan Yue took the scroll and unfurled it, revealing detailed information about Shennong's role as the leader of the Land of Sky, the remaining Sky Ninja, their weapons, and the so-called Zero-Tails.
Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced at Ali, who stood respectfully with her hands folded in front of her abdomen, and recalled the profile he had read about her earlier.
This woman, who appeared to embody the epitome of a Yamato Nadeshiko, was, in reality, an exceptionally talented intelligence ninja.
Her unique Eye Seal Technique, which involved using her eyes to perform hand seals, was impressive even to Yu Yi Xuan Yue.
It was due to this ability that Yamanaka Inoichi, the renowned expert in intelligence, had fallen into her trap. Not only had he failed to gather any useful intelligence, but he had also unknowingly had his mind probed, resulting in the exposure of Konoha's confidential information.
This incident had provided Yu Yi Xuan Yue with a deeper understanding of Konoha.
Thus, one should never underestimate others.
Even among the myriad of ninjas, there were always individuals who would leave one astonished with their talents.
"Let's set aside the matter of the Sky Ninja for now. There's no need to take any immediate action against them," Yu Yi Xuan Yue said, setting the scroll aside as he shook his head slightly.
Although Shennong had been captured, he had spent most of his time wandering the Ninja World, and for the sake of secrecy, the remaining Sky Ninja rarely communicated with him. Therefore, there was little worry that his capture would be exposed.
Yu Yi Xuan Yue had never placed much importance on the Sky Ninja. After all, his initial interest in Shennong had been solely for his medical forbidden jutsu.
As for the so-called "Tail of No Tails," the Zero-Tails, Yu Yi Xuan Yue had never paid much attention to the regular Tailed Beasts, so he certainly didn't care about the Zero-Tails, which had been ruptured when Naruto and Sasuke had infused it with chakra.
However, whether it was the Zero-Tails or the Sky Ninja, who harbored resentment toward Konoha and the Five Great Shinobi Countries, they ultimately represented a force that could be utilized. There was no rush to make a move; he could always deploy this piece on the chessboard when the time was right.
For now, they had managed to lie low for so many years without being discovered by the major ninja villages, so there was no harm in letting them continue their quiet existence.
"Ali, prepare some tea," Yu Yi Xuan Yue instructed.
As Ali attended to his needs with meticulous care, Yu Yi Xuan Yue picked up another document and continued the daily duties of a clan leader.
Sasuke's Sharingan eyes blazed as he moved with agility, dodging the projectiles with unimaginable maneuvers. He drew shuriken from his ninja pouch, seemingly at random, but with precise calculations, causing them to collide and deflect the incoming projectiles in a dazzling display.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The crisp clangs of metal rang out like a melodious symphony, filling the air with a rhythmic tune.
"As expected of Uchiha," Ali praised, lightly clapping from her position outside the training area.
By her side, Izumi Uchiha, a young girl with an air of composure, nodded in agreement. "This is the standard that Uchiha should strive for."
Sasuke had made remarkable progress since he began his training. Under Izumi's guidance, he swiftly addressed his previous shortcomings and flaws.
A true genius, just like his brother.
Not long after, the chaotic dance of ninja tools came to an end, and Sasuke stood calmly, his body untouched by the onslaught.
Around him, within a radius of ten meters, the ground was littered with neatly arranged ninja tools, each one precisely placed as if following a intricate pattern.
Izumi turned to face Yu Yi Xuan Yue and said earnestly, "Sasuke's foundation has been re-established. From here on out, what he needs is prolonged training to further improve."
"I understand," Yu Yi Xuan Yue nodded. He walked up to Sasuke and handed him two scrolls without any preamble.
"One contains the training methods for the Chidori current, and the other details the research on fire and lightning-style chakra forms and nature transformation. Your task for the foreseeable future is to master these techniques. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. Of course, I expect you to figure things out on your own as much as possible."
Unlike many teachers who enjoyed the challenge of teaching less gifted students, Yu Yi Xuan Yue preferred his students to be self-reliant and capable of learning on their own.
Sasuke's talent reminded him of Samui, who only needed a concept explained once or twice before she could grasp it and make it her own.
"Thank you, Lord Yu Yi. I won't let you down!" Sasuke replied politely, his tone conveying the weight of his gratitude as he accepted the priceless scrolls.
In just this short period, he had experienced more progress than he ever had in Konoha. And this was without Yu Yi Xuan Yue directly instructing him.
Sasuke eagerly anticipated the knowledge that Yu Yi Xuan Yue would impart. He understood that this knowledge was the key to defeating Itachi.
"Just you wait, Itachi! One day, I will avenge our parents, Izumi's mother and grandmother, Kimimaro's parents, and all the Uchiha clan members who perished that night!" Sasuke vowed, his eyes burning with determination and hatred.
"Good luck," Yu Yi Xuan Yue encouraged. Though he knew that Sasuke was destined to defeat Itachi regardless of his current progress, he wouldn't dampen the younger Uchiha's fighting spirit.
Yu Yi Xuan Yue patted Sasuke's shoulder and then vanished from the training grounds.
He reappeared at a graveyard, standing there in silent contemplation for a while before snapping back to the present.
With most matters settled, it was time to tie up the loose ends and make his way to Konoha.
