Konoha: You're letting me build up my bonds, but you're offending the entire ninja world.

"He learns so fast," Shisui exclaimed. "He learned the Uchiha Throwing Technique in a week, and all my Fire Release ninjutsu in a month."

"A month later, he had completely mastered the technique of Body Flicker Technique."

"Six months later, in a pure swordsmanship contest, I could only manage a draw with him. Since then, I have never taught him again. Xuan Yuejun is not lacking in skills and ninjutsu; he just needs time to grow."

"Shimura Gengetsu also knows swordsmanship?" Uchiha Itachi exclaimed. He knew how strong Shisui's swordsmanship was. Combined with Body Flicker Technique and Genjutsu, he could kill an ordinary ninja with a single blow.

"wrong."

Uchiha Shisui corrected him, "His greatest strength is not ninjutsu or taijutsu, but rather swordsmanship."

Uchiha Itachi was completely speechless.

So, I don't even have the right to make Shimura Gengetsu take this seriously?

Shisui looked at his dazed expression and felt sorry for Itachi.

Itachi wouldn't lose to any other person his age, but what could he do when he ran into Gengetsu Shimura?

Fortunately, with the Sharingan, Itachi still has a chance to catch up and won't be defeated in one fell swoop.

.....

After waiting for a while and seeing that Itachi Uchiha had recovered, Shisui Uchiha continued:

"Itachi, although you have successfully awakened your Sharingan, there are some pieces of advice you must remember."

Uchiha Shisui's expression was even more serious than before, and Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but ask curiously, "What?"

Looking at his youthful face, Uchiha Shisui said, word by word:

"Use the Sharingan as little as possible before your body is fully developed, otherwise... it will cause irreversible damage to your body."

At the same time, on a lawn in the village, Shimura Gengetsu and Uchiha Izumi lay side by side, gazing at the sky.

The boy murmured softly, "Actually... opening your eyes too early isn't necessarily a good thing."

.......

Thank you to [Angry Eggplant] for the 1000-point reward, and thank you all for the flowers and monthly tickets.

Chapter Nineteen: Izumi Loli's Lingering Fear, Spatial Talent

"Why?" Uchiha Izumi asked curiously.

Uchiha Izumi was also present at the duel this morning, but seeing so many Jonin and the Hokage, she was too timid to approach and instead hid under a big tree to watch quietly.

The two had just been talking about Itachi Uchiha awakening his Sharingan, and Izumi had a tone of envy in her voice.

For any Uchiha, awakening their Sharingan is always their most valued achievement.

Judging from Shimura Gengetsu's expression, he doesn't seem to think that opening his eyes is a good thing.

"Because she's too small." Shimura Gengetsu reached out and ruffled Izumi's smooth black hair. The little girl had grown her hair long since she was little, and it was long, smooth, and felt wonderful to the touch.

Quan pouted and pulled Xuan Yue's little hand down.

She spent a long time doing her hair this morning, and it got messed up all at once.

Xuan Yue smiled and continued to explain to her, "There are many benefits to awakening the Sharingan, but we are still children, and our bodies are not fully developed and are in a period of rapid growth."

"If you awaken the Sharingan too early, the balance between your mental and physical strength will be broken. It's like you're indirectly exploiting your body. The consequences of overuse will be even more serious, and it might even lead to chronic illnesses."

Gengetsu Shimura strongly suspected that Itachi Uchiha's future sickly appearance was inextricably linked to his premature awakening of the Sharingan and Mangekyou Sharingan.

The human cells in this world are three times that of the original world, and the development speed is also faster. But no matter what, it is too outrageous for children to open their eyes at the age of six or seven. It is completely overloaded.

During his year at the Ninja Academy, Gengetsu Shimura noticed that Itachi Uchiha was quite robust and didn't seem to have any illnesses.

It must be because they didn't know the value of their eyesight when they were young, and now they're blind and crying when they're old.

...

Hearing him describe it so seriously, Uchiha Izumi became frightened. Her petite body curled up into a ball, and her envy of Uchiha Itachi vanished instantly.

Then she became curious again, "Xuan Yue, why do you know so much? The adults in the clan have never said anything about this. They all just advised us to open our eyes as soon as possible."

Shimura Gengetsu replied calmly, "Of course it was my old man who said it. He's the Hokage's assistant, what doesn't he know?"

"I see." Uchiha Izumi suddenly realized.

As expected of Lord Guoying, he can make people believe anything he's asked to do.

A while later, it was lunchtime, and Shimura Gengetsu took Uchiha Izumi to the famous Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha.

Otsutsuki Ichiraku is a very famous name, but it's all just a joke.

Uncle Hand-Strike is just an ordinary old man who makes ramen. Well, calling him an old man now might not be quite right. There are still about ten years before the story begins, so he's at most in his thirties.

However, the craftsmanship is impeccable.

Gengetsu Shimura and Izumi Uchiha are also regulars here. Every time, Gengetsu Shimura orders an extra-large portion of chashu ramen and two extra croquettes.

Quan's appetite is much smaller; a normal bowl of ramen is enough for him.

However, this time, Shimura Gengetsu discovered something interesting.

A child about their age was in the kitchen, kneading dough by hand. When asked to add water, the child carefully added a little at a time, afraid of adding too much.

Shouda glanced back casually and saw Xuan Yue staring at his daughter. He smiled and introduced her:

“This is my daughter, Ayame. Unlike you, she doesn’t have the talent to be a ninja, so she didn’t go to ninja school. She’s learning the trade from me at the shop.”

Ayame hid behind Tetsuya and shyly nodded to Shimura Gengetsu and Uchiha Izumi.

In her heart, she was thinking, "This boy is really handsome."

Actually, both of Shimura Gengetsu's parents had very good looks; his mother had a classic oval face, and as for his father...

Don't let Danzo's current disfigured face fool you; in his youth, he was a renowned handsome young man in the surrounding villages, the kind of man who could make Tsunade and Shizune blush. So, Shimura Gengetsu's father was also a great-looking guy. The best qualities of both his parents were combined and refined in Shimura Gengetsu.

It is foreseeable that once Xiao Xuan Yue fully matures, she will become another 'femme fatale'.

.........

After finishing his meal, Shimura Gengetsu escorted Izumi back to the Uchiha clan's territory and then went home himself to take stock of the day's gains.

The overwhelming defeat of Uchiha Itachi has indeed brought great benefits, especially since the ninjas watching today are all special jonin and jonin, and they all have a deep impression of him. The quality of the reward is extremely high.

[The host has established a bond with Moonlight Falcon, and is rewarded with three standard Chunin chakra.]

[The host has established a bond with Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and is rewarded with Fire Release Chakra Nature Transformation (Excellent)]

[The host establishes a bond with Raido Namiashi, rewarding him with a spatial ninjutsu talent (1/3)]

【……】

There were more than a dozen onlookers, and most of them gave the first stage reward.

The most precious of these is undoubtedly his spatial ninjutsu talent; this is the second fragment of his spatial talent that he has obtained.

The first fragment, also a third, is the reward for Uchiha Izumi and his bond reaching the second stage.

Parallelism...

Shimura Gengetsu remembered that he was a special Jonin in the village, and that he, along with Shiranui Genma and Iwashi, had all served as bodyguards for the Fourth Hokage. The three of them together could activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, so it was not surprising that they possessed spatial abilities.

He was only surprised that he could unleash his spatial talent in the first stage; he could only say that he was lucky today.

If he gets another fragment, he can try to cultivate the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Without the Six Paths appearing, almost no ninja who have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique can threaten their lives; they can only be restrained by other means.

Just as Shimura Gengetsu was admiring the impressive attribute panel he had earned through a year of incredible (just kidding) hard work, a commotion suddenly came from the gate.

Danzo walked into the courtyard holding a ninja headband.

"Xuan Yue, congratulations."

Danzo Shimura handed the headband to Genju Shimura's small hand, his smile never fading since he entered the room. "From now on, you are a true ninja."
