Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 11 Expectations

Three days later, at 14:00 PM.

A gentle breeze rustled the vines that entwined around the fence in the courtyard.

Under the eaves, a wisp of faded red thread hangs from a wind chime, its pale yellow, slender bamboo tubes and colorful seashells swaying gently, weaving a clear and elegant melody.

Bright sunlight peeked through the cracks in the window, illuminating the room like a mischievous girl with legs, leaping past the elegant cabinets and onto the small wooden table, pausing for a moment over the thick stack of scrolls, documents, and notes.

Then she walked up to the floor and then to the sofa, her gaze spreading to that handsome, sleeping face, gently stroking his slightly furrowed brows.

A gentle breeze blew, and golden rays danced in the wind. As the golden skirt swayed, it brushed against his profile, like a shy kiss, leaving a faint warmth.

"Ugh!" Uchiha Toshiro suddenly woke up, sat up from the sofa, looked at the scattered notes on the table, and rubbed his temples to clear his mind.

The scrolls and books on the table mostly introduced techniques for refining, condensing, and controlling chakra. For the past two months, in his spare time between training, he had always browsed through them one by one. Whenever he came across something insightful, or had any doubts or conjectures, he would always jot it down in a specially prepared notebook. He deeply believed that a bad pen is worse than a good memory.

I got up and tidied up the scattered documents and notes on the table. Then I went to the bathroom, washed my face with cold water to refresh myself, and returned to the living room.

"Toshiro! Are you home? We've come to play!" Just then, Uchiha Ryuka's boisterous voice came from the courtyard outside. At the same time, there was also the noisy chatter of his friends.

That's right, it's "Toshiro the Lion" (冬狮狼), not "Toshiro the Lion" (冬狮郎). With the game Werewolf spreading among the children in the family these past few days, this nickname has earned him the nickname, thanks to his own experience playing various roles like the "Hooked Wolf" and "Charging Wolf." His friends have been amazed by his newfound knowledge.

"Don't give people such nonsensical nicknames! Idiot!" As this game spread among the children in the clan, Uchiha Toshiro also noticed a very interesting characteristic.

For some reason, everyone tacitly kept the game a secret, only playing it together within the Uchiha clan's territory. A subtle sense of superiority, stemming from the fact that some possessed something others lacked, permeated the group of children.

"Not today! Someone will be delivering the items we ordered later, and we can't afford to be home alone!"

"Is that so?" Uchiha Ryūka seemed to have been hit over the head, his expression somewhat displeased. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he perked up again.

"How about we play at Toshiro's house today?"

"No way!" He ruthlessly rejected Uchiha Ryuka's suggestion again. "Are you kidding?" If these kids went inside and played for another afternoon, who knows what a mess they'd make. Then wouldn't he and Uchiha Mika be the ones cleaning up?

After quickly dismissing his new acquaintances from the past few days with a few words, Uchiha Toshiro didn't return to the main house but instead went into the building on the left side of the house.

This ancestral house has a very distinctive architectural layout. The central area is the family's living space, containing bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom, and a dining room. To the right is a spacious training area used by the family's children.

The building on the left resembles a ninja armory. It displays shuriken, kunai, wire, fūma shuriken, kodachi, katana, katana, ninja vests, arm guards, cloaks, and other ninja items.

In one of the boxes, Uchiha Toshiro also found a set of crimson layered armor in the style of the Sengoku period. He didn't find any explosive tags or poison, suggesting they had been disposed of beforehand.

Taking a rag and some grease from a cabinet in the room, Uchiha Toshiro began carefully maintaining each of his weapons. This was a task assigned to him by Uchiha Mika.

In her opinion, since Uchiha Toshiro was so precocious, it wasn't a bad thing for him to learn about and be familiar with the items that ninjas would use in missions and battles. After teaching him how to maintain these weapons and supervising him through the maintenance process once, she handed the task over to Uchiha Toshiro.

Half an hour later, having finished his work, Uchiha Toshiro picked up a small wooden sword and headed towards the dojo on the left.

Holding his breath and concentrating, Toshiro gripped his sword with both hands, his eyes fixed on the dummy in front of him, examining its head, neck, heart, kidneys, and other vital parts.

"Ha!" With a loud shout, Toshiro slashed at the dummy's face with almost all his might. A dull thud echoed as the wooden sword collided with the wooden dummy.

Feeling the shockwave from the violent impact on the hilt of the sword, and the numbness in his palms, he didn't stop. Instead, he attacked the dummy's vital points with even greater speed, slashing, hacking, thrusting, and parrying.

A full-blown burst of energy always quickly gives way to a trough. In just ten minutes, the muffled thuds of wooden swords colliding with dummies, like a storm, gradually slowed down until they were barely audible.

Thirty minutes later, Uchiha Toshiro, panting heavily and drenched in sweat, had to stop what he was doing and end his training.

Back in the living room, Uchiha Toshiro picked up the salt water he had prepared beforehand. He took a big gulp, let out a long sigh, grabbed an apple from the table, took a large bite, and sat down on the sofa to rest.

My mind drifted back to the various books and materials I had browsed over the past few months, as well as my memories of the anime Naruto from my previous life.

Chakra, the source of a ninja's power, is generated by the mixture of a person's spiritual and physical energy. In more scientific terms, spiritual energy originates from the human brain.

As a person's knowledge, experience, age, and spiritual self-breakthroughs or sublimations increase, physical energy, on the other hand, is enhanced through arduous physical training, injury recovery, nutritional supplementation, and continuous pushing of personal limits, all in line with the increase in age.

There should also be corresponding training methods for Yin Release and Yang Release. However, after searching through all the books in his house, he found nothing. Helpless, Uchiha Toshiro could only improve himself through arduous and rigorous training.

"Hmm! The clan's secret archives should contain methods for practicing Yin Release and Yang Release. Let's not talk about it for now, but we must find a way to get our hands on them later..." Leaving aside Yang Release for the time being, the Uchiha clan must at least have methods for practicing Yin Release.
