Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 14 Kakashi's Advice (Please continue reading)

In the remote forest, the dense clanging of metal suddenly stopped.

Bang!

Bang!

The two shadow clones immediately dissipated, and the next second, Kakashi's expression changed, and he sat down on the ground.

When a shadow clone comes into contact with a body, it brings back memories. If too many memories are brought back, it can put a great burden on the body in an instant.

Fortunately, Kakashi only used two shadow clones, and it was just a simple action of throwing a shuriken, so the burden wasn't too great.

"Come and have something to eat. Food helps with chakra recovery. We'll train twice more this afternoon, and then today's training will be over."

Uchiha Yoichi waved to Kakashi and said that three large food boxes had already been prepared on the side, containing enough food for about six people, including rice balls, meat and seafood, all ordered from some cooked food shops in the village.

I've booked a month's stay for now, it costs around 120,000 taels of silver. Seafood is the most expensive item, but the rest are at normal prices.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down, took the food box from Uchiha Yoichi, and began to eat. If Uchiha Yoichi hadn't called him, he would have been prepared to eat the dry rations he had brought himself.

Although he was in the village and could go home for meals, Kakashi was on a mission and had to obey his employer until the mission was over.

The foundation of a ninja is chakra. The only way to quickly restore chakra is through food. Nutritious food helps restore chakra, and medicine restores it even faster than food. However, generally no one takes medicine to restore chakra.

Even the pills made from medicinal herbs are only for emergency use.

"Are you planning to practice swordsmanship?"

After Kakashi finished eating, he turned around and asked, although he would take off his mask when he ate, he did so behind Uchiha Yoichi's back.

"Yes, I plan to practice swordsmanship that combines with the speed of Lightning Release, so I'll have a higher survival rate on the battlefield. Also, Kakashi, didn't I tell you not to ask me questions randomly?!"

Uchiha Yoichi didn't notice and blurted out his true feelings when he answered, but thankfully, he had figured out a pattern when he talked to Kakashi yesterday.

If you consciously control yourself, you can avoid speaking; but if you speak unconsciously, you are definitely saying what's on your mind.

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time. But if you want to spar with a swordsman, I can offer another option, such as using a ninja sword."

Kakashi, his face expressionless behind his mask, apologized and then continued, "I'm probably a little better at swordsmanship than you. Compared to shuriken throwing, which only trains reaction and parrying, sparring with swords should be more effective."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly remembered that Kakashi's father was Konoha's White Fang, whose swordsmanship was renowned throughout the ninja world.

Even during the Third Shinobi World War, Kakashi was able to intimidate the Jonin of Iwagakure simply by using his resemblance to Sakumo Hatake.

However, it's not graduation season yet, and there aren't any suitable mission teams to assign people to, so Kakashi can only take on some D-rank missions.

It was purely coincidental that Kakashi encountered Uchiha Yoichi's mission. When the commission was issued, Kakashi happened to be in the mission squad, and there was no danger in the village, so Kakashi accepted it.

"Of course I can. If you have no problem with it, I can pay you with a B-level mission. The time will be the same as we agreed before. Just don't talk to me first."

"Okay, I'm fine with it. Let's do it this way then. Actually, you can also try using swordsmanship to deal with all sorts of ninjutsu, but my chakra is limited, so I can't do that kind of training with you."

Kakashi readily agreed. After watching Uchiha Yoichi train for a day, he gained a basic understanding of the strength of this Chunin who was "somewhat famous" in the village.

He has a one-tomoe Sharingan, but his reaction speed is very fast. He has not learned any basic swordsmanship, but he can completely block every shuriken by relying on his reaction speed.

His skill can be seen from his training; being able to spar with someone like that could help improve his swordsmanship.

But the Uchiha clan should have many powerful ninjas, so why didn't he ask his own clansmen for help, instead of issuing a commission to find ninjas from the village?

"Keep training."

After resting for a while, Uchiha Yangqi stood up and said that Kakashi had also rested enough, and then created three shadow clones.

Not long after, the sound of dense metal clanging came from the woods again.

Kakashi's shuriken was thrown at very tricky angles. Although it wasn't imbued with chakra and its power wasn't great, it was aimed at vital points everywhere.

Uchiha Yoichi only managed to avoid injury from the dense barrage of shuriken attacks by constantly increasing the speed of his sword swings, his Sharingan's tomoe spinning rapidly in his pupils.

In the afternoon, Kakashi was exhausted after finishing his training. Uchiha Yoichi said goodbye to him and headed home.

After taking a shower, food was delivered to his door. Uchiha Yoichi found cooking troublesome, so he ordered food for lunch and dinner to be delivered to his door.

However, not long after Uchiha Yoichi finished eating, someone knocked on his door.

Upon opening the package, Uchiha Yoichi frowned slightly; it was one of the people he least wanted to see.

"Yang Yi, don't forget to attend the clan gathering tonight."

"Senior Kagami, I remember already saying that I don't want to participate, and there's no tradition of Chunin participating in the clan meeting, so please don't bother me."

"Yoichi, anyone from the Uchiha clan can attend the clan meeting. This time, the clan head invited you, so you should go. Don't make things difficult for me."

If they don't go, then I'll have to resort to some more forceful measures.

Upon hearing Uchiha Mabayashi's words and thoughts, Uchiha Yoichi couldn't help but say, "Marbayashi-senpai, why haven't I seen you and the clan head being so tough when dealing with outsiders?"

"Even if you let me go to the clan meeting, your plans won't come true. I will never apologize to those who insulted me from the beginning. Senior Jianlin, you don't think all clansmen are like you and the clan leader, compromising with outsiders, do you?"

This time, he didn't need to consciously control himself; he had always wanted to say these things!

Yang Yi, you

[He's right. If Uchiha Yoichi really reveals the details at the clan meeting, and with the Second Elder's instigation, then Fugaku's authority as clan head will definitely be questioned. No, Fugaku's plan is wrong; it's better to renegotiate.]

Upon realizing this, Uchiha Masahiro's expression changed slightly. He was also unwilling to let Uchiha Yoichi attend the clan meeting, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Finally, he gave Yoichi a deep look and said, "Yoichi, no matter what others have told you, you have misunderstood the clan head."

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, I know best in my heart, Senior Jianlin. I understand you better than you understand yourself now."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi went back into the house, took a storage scroll, and then threw it to Uchiha Marin.

"This is the cost of forging the ninja sword. Any extra will be the cost of materials. If you haven't contacted the Ninja Cat Clan, then return my chakra metal to me and I'll find someone myself. I really don't want to accept your and the clan leader's kindness, otherwise I'm afraid I might die one day because of the clan leader's kindness."

The Hyuga clan head was willing to hand over his younger brother, and the Uchiha clan's young head was willing to annihilate the entire clan for Konoha. Uchiha Yoichi was merely a clansman with a slight reputation within the clan; if he got too close to Uchiha Fugaku, he might actually be afraid that one day Fugaku would say something...

"Yoichi, for the sake of Konoha, please sacrifice yourself!"

The scroll contains 1.5 million taels, more than enough to hire the ninja tool forging master of the Land of Craftsmen.
