Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 52 The Second Theft

Kakashi instinctively felt that being a bounty hunter was a bad thing, but he didn't know much about it and couldn't say anything about it.

Sakumo Hatake always adopted a hands-off approach to Kakashi, firstly because he had many missions, including many A-rank and S-rank missions, and was often away from home; secondly because Kakashi was indeed a genius, becoming a ninja at the age of five.

Theoretically speaking, to become a ninja, one must treat Kakashi as a peer, as ninjas already possess the qualities to kill and complete missions.

Although Kakashi was a bit young, he was a genuine ninja, so Sakumo Hatake usually let Kakashi make his own judgments. He would only offer advice when Kakashi couldn't figure something out and came to him for guidance.

The last time Sakumo Hatake intervened was because Kakashi betrayed information about the village, violating Sakumo Hatake's ninja principles.

"Bounty hunter, won't this cause any trouble?"

Kakashi scratched his white hair and said that if he didn't become a bounty hunter, his only option was to wait for the next batch of ninja academy students to graduate and form a team with them.

"What could possibly happen, Kakashi? You may be a ninja, but it seems you've never seen the darkness of the ninja world. The underground gold exchange is the darkest place."

Uchiha Yoichi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then continued to Kakashi, "In the underground exchange, you'll find all sorts of clients, even sons who kill their fathers. And you can find almost anything or any information there. That's why I went to the underground exchange last time."

After saying that, Uchiha Yoichi placed his Raiga on the table.

Kakashi immediately understood. The captain wanted chakra metal, which his family had. His father had apparently left him a piece, so he could forge his own ninja sword when he mastered swordsmanship.

"Won't the village find out?"

"If you don't tell, and I don't tell, the village will at most know that you're not in the village. As for where you went, the Anbu doesn't have that much power."

Kakashi fell silent upon hearing this. He was somewhat tempted, but also had some concerns about the village.

"Okay, Captain, when do we depart?"

"Tomorrow, but I need to go out and see my clansmen first to take care of some things!"

Uchiha Yoichi thought for a moment, then said to Kakashi, "It will probably take a day or two, but that's okay. We can stay outside for a month without any problems. That's settled then, Kakashi. Come to the clan compound to see me tomorrow at noon."

"Yes, Captain."

Then, Uchiha Yoichi suggested that since they were just idling around anyway, they might as well go to the courtyard for a sparring session.

He stood still and made Geiz use the Double Gravity Technique. Kakashi didn't use ninjutsu either, and they just practiced swordsmanship.

Kakashi's lips twitched under his mask upon hearing this; they were really taking care of him. However, considering Uchiha Yoichi's strength, he understood that this was the difference between the two.

Although both are Chunin, his strength is only that of a Chunin, while Captain Yang Yi's strength is limited to Chunin because he did not take the exam.

However, before the fight, Uchiha Yoichi asked the cook to prepare more food for him today, since another person had arrived.

Then, the two began sparring in the courtyard.

Uchiha Yang was carrying a heavy load, but his chakra and body were transforming every day, gradually adapting to gravity and the weight. Moreover, he had the dynamic vision of the Sharingan, which allowed him to clearly see the trajectory of Kakashi's sword strikes.

Even with the heavy metal weights and gravity on his body, he could barely block all of Kakashi's slashes, though it was somewhat strenuous.

However, this was also a kind of training for him. Kakashi's Wind Release slashes were just right to counter Uchiha Yoichi's Lightning Release Entanglement, which forced Uchiha Yoichi to increase his chakra flow under gravity and train his Lightning Release chakra mode.

When it was time for dinner, the cook finished preparing the meal and was about to leave when Mina Uzumaki returned.

"Yoichi-sama, I'm back. Kakashi's here too."

When Mina saw Kakashi, she clicked her tongue inwardly. Then she put her medical ninja coat back on, which she hadn't fully taken off, went back inside to change her clothes, and then came out to eat with him.

During the meal, Nami Uzumaki learned that Uchiha Yoichi and Kakashi were going to leave the village, so she immediately said, "Yoichi-sama, please take me with you. My healing abilities..."

"No, Mina, you should learn medical ninjutsu and sealing techniques in the village first. Once you awaken your bloodline limit, you can go on missions with me."

After being rejected by Uchiha Yoichi, Uzumaki Mina's mood instantly plummeted. She secretly resolved to dedicate as much time as she did to learning sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu, striving to awaken her bloodline limit as soon as possible.

After finishing his meal, Kakashi rubbed his stomach, intending to see if there was any hot tea to go with it. However, when he saw Mina Uzumaki staring at him with icy eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.

"Captain, thank you for your hospitality. I'll head back now."

"Are you leaving already? Why don't you have a cup of tea before you go?"

"No, I have some things to take care of at home."

After saying that, Kakashi quickly got up, took his leave, and left.

Uchiha Yangyi shook his head. Kakashi was the only one at home. What could he be up to? Could he have gone back to read those erotic novels?

Thinking about this, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly remembered that the entertainment industry in the ninja world seemed to be quite lacking, with no famous works. He thought that he could come up with a few formulas in the future and then hire some ghostwriters to write books.

--------------

The next day, Mina Uzumaki went to Konoha Hospital somewhat unwillingly, taking with her three million ryo to give to Tsunade.

Not long after Mina Uzumaki left, Kakashi also arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory. "Captain, I'm here."

"Wait a moment, we'll be off right away."

Seeing that Kakashi didn't have dark circles under his eyes, Uchiha Yangyi nodded, as long as he hadn't stayed up all night reading erotic novels.

After they were ready, the two set off together.

However, before he even left the clan's territory, Uchiha Yoichi encountered three clansmen traveling together, and these three clansmen were not looking at him in a friendly manner.

The peace faction follows the clan leader!

"Eighth-generation elder, what should be the punishment if any clansman attacks the clan leader?"

"Don't be silly, Tiehuo. He's already pledged allegiance to the Second Elder. If you say another word, he might kill you too."

Two of them started making sarcastic remarks as they were about to bump into each other, while the older one in the middle hadn't said a word yet, but was staring at Uchiha Yoichi with hostility.

Uchiha Yoichi sneered, then reached out and patted Uchiha Tekka on the shoulder, saying, "Yes, I've pledged allegiance to the Second Elder, and I'm going to be the clan leader in the future. If you're not satisfied, you can report this to Clan Leader Fugaku."

Let's pick a sheep and get started!

Uchiha Tetsuka was about to make a sarcastic remark, but suddenly felt a stinging sensation in his eyes, as if he had just gone through a great battle, and his eyes were immediately exhausted.
