Chapter 6: To Agree or Not to Agree?
Chapter 6: To Agree or Not to Agree?
"This taijutsu isn't that difficult," Uchiha Ye thought to himself.
But after a few sets, she was exhausted and panting.
"Okay! She admits she spoke a little too soon."
Fortunately, the Longevity Technique can restore energy and dispel fatigue; otherwise, she would have to rest for a while after training, and it would have taken her forever to master this physical technique.
Half a day has passed.
She could clearly feel that with each repetition, the movements were more crisp and efficient than the last, and the excess physical exertion was gradually decreasing.
At such moments, he could feel his strength increasing, and Uchiha Ye trained even harder.
After finishing another set of attacks, Uchiha Ye was slightly out of breath, but his eyes shone even brighter.
After wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, she sat down and circulated the Longevity Mantra around her meridians, immediately regaining her energy.
Regaining his composure, Uchiha Ye stood up, took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch at his waist, aimed at a tree twenty meters away, and began his training.
She stopped cultivating only when the tree was completely bare of leaves.
At first, Uchiha Yoru only had one kunai on her, and running around to pick it up was quite tiring. Later, she simply attached her chakra to the kunai, so she could pull it back as soon as it flew away, saving a lot of time.
But it was a delicate task, and she succeeded only after countless attempts, though the benefits were immense, enhancing her control over chakra.
"Now, it's time to practice shuriken throwing."
Uchiha Yo put the kunai back into his ninja tool pouch, and then took out the only two shuriken from the pouch.
She found a target in the training ground and began her training.
I couldn't find my rhythm at first and missed the bullseye every time, but later I hit the bullseye every time.
Uchiha Yoru knew this was the effect brought about by her real-world abilities, but even so, she did not stop training.
She knew that only by maintaining daily training could she prevent her skills from declining.
After a month of continuous training, Uchiha Ye's character panel finally showed some changes.

{The Only Player}
As usual, Uchiha Ye arrived at the training ground early that day to train.
Starting today, she will also be training in Fire Release ninjutsu.
At another location on the training field.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..."
Several kunai and shuriken clashed and sparked in the air.
Uchiha Itachi glanced around and noticed that one kunai had missed the bullseye, and a look of dissatisfaction immediately appeared in his eyes.
If Uchiha Yoh saw this, he would definitely think that Yoh was showing off. This level of throwing technique is probably better than that of ordinary Chunin, yet he still looked dissatisfied.
Keep in mind that she only barely got the basics down after a month of training.
"You're just a five-year-old child, Itachi!"
Fortunately, Uchiha Ye was unaware of all this and was still diligently training his ninjutsu.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A tiny spark appeared, then nothing more.
"Failed again. Why can't it be released?"
Uchiha Itachi trained for a while longer before preparing to return, when he seemed to faintly hear some kind of sound.
He moved closer to the sound and heard a familiar yet childlike voice.
Could it be her?
"Let's go take a look first."
Even if it wasn't her, someone so young who could master the 'Great Fireball Technique' must be a genius. As the clan leader's son, it's essential for him to get to know her.
Uchiha Itachi immediately made a decision. Although it was impolite to peek at someone else's training, he needed to confirm it.
He followed the sound, flashed twice in the dense forest, and quickly reached the location.
However, he did not go out immediately, but instead observed from the tree.
"It really is Ye!"
Uchiha Itachi recognized the figure at first glance.
So focused was Uchiha Ye that he didn’t notice Uchiha Itachi’s arrival at all.
He was still muttering to himself, "巳-未-申-亥-午-寅".
At the same time, his hands were rapidly forming hand seals as he shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Another failure!"
Uchiha Ye felt a little discouraged, but he quickly cheered up again.
A gentle breeze came, blowing her long hair lightly and dispelling the pent-up frustration in her heart.
Seemingly having gained some insight, Uchiha Yoh began chanting again, this time forming hand seals faster than ever before.
As soon as she finished the last hand seal, the surrounding temperature instantly rose several levels.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A huge fireball rapidly formed and hurtled forward.
Staring at the scene before him, Itachi Uchiha was somewhat stunned.
At the same time, a feeling of pity arose in my heart.
"Ye seems to share a similar plight with him; he must also be a junior who doesn't want to disappoint his elders."
He understood this situation best; his status as the clan chief's son and his father's expectations of him were like two mountains weighing on his shoulders.
After the Nine-Tails' Night, the Uchiha clan has attracted even more attention. With just over three months until he goes to the Ninja Academy, he must deliver a satisfactory performance and not tarnish the Uchiha clan's reputation.
Having successfully unleashed the ninjutsu, Uchiha Ye smiled with some satisfaction. The next second, he collapsed to the ground, preparing to rest for a while before practicing again.
Just as she was about to close her eyes and doze off, she seemed to see something out of the corner of her eye, which startled her so much that she sat up abruptly.
When Itachi saw her like this, he knew he had been discovered, so he jumped down from the tree.
"Itachi, what are you doing here?!" Uchiha Ye asked, his eyes filled with surprise.
"Ye, I happened to be cultivating here when I heard that others were also cultivating here, so I couldn't help but come and take a look."
"Did I disturb you, Ye?" Itachi Uchiha asked with a hint of apology.
"No...no."
Even if she did, she wouldn't dare say it, Uchiha Ye silently added in his mind.
The two fell silent for a moment, and finally she broke the silence, saying, "Itachi, it seems to be getting dark, so I'll head back now."
"Ye, please don't leave yet. I have a request, and I wonder if you would be willing to grant it."
Uchiha Ye immediately withdrew his outstretched foot upon hearing this, appearing all ears.
After hesitating for a long time, Itachi Uchiha finally spoke slowly, "Ye, starting tomorrow, can I train with you?"
"What?"
She must have heard correctly; Itachi Uchiha was going to train with her.
"Make sure they're not here to spy on her, then kill her!"
But she naturally didn't dare say that aloud. Instead, she pretended to be incredulous and said, "Itachi, this will affect your own training, won't it? I can't agree to that."
Upon hearing this, Itachi's expression visibly darkened. He suddenly grabbed Uchiha Ye's hand and said confidently, "Ye, no, with you by my side, I will only be more motivated."
"Brother, just say what you want to say, what's the meaning of grabbing her hand?"
"And what kind of wild and inappropriate words did you say? They're very easy to misunderstand!"
Uchiha Ye mentally grumbled a couple of times, but couldn't think of any excuse to refuse, so he silently nodded in the end.
When she got home, she was filled with regret.
"Ahhh...how could she suddenly be bewitched!"
She should cultivate; cultivation would allow her to temporarily forget everything.
