Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 190 Shisui

"You guys, go and warm up first, I'll treat your wounds later!"

At this point, several members of the tribe, who had lost a lot of blood due to prolonged exposure to the rain and their own injuries, were beginning to give up.

Upon hearing Toshiro's instructions, everyone's faces lit up with joy, and they began to gather around the heater to warm themselves.

Among them, the two eight-year-old clansmen were the most seriously injured. Their faces were already turning blue from the cold. If they weren't allowed to rest properly, they would probably fall seriously ill early the next morning.

"Chaoxia, prepare the food. I'll go to the back and get some hot water. Everyone, please take a quick shower!"

"Okay! No problem, thank you for your hard work again!"

After responding, Uchiha Asaka began preparing dinner without showing any surprise.

She was already used to Toshiro providing natural gas for heating and preparing hot water. Even the dehydrated vegetables he carried were provided by him; she was numb to it all.

Things like natural gas heating equipment and dehydrated vegetables are things that some more enlightened ninja teams might prepare. However, preparing hot water for one's comrades to wash during a mission is practically unique to this particular team.

"Senior! You still need to use medical ninjutsu to treat Hisagi and Nana later, plus you have to keep watch with shadow clones tonight. Is it really okay for you to consume so much chakra?"

Just then, a little kid who was also only eight years old, but who had not suffered any injuries in the fight compared to his two peers, asked with some confusion.

Although the opponent is a renowned genius in the family, he has just experienced a fierce battle, and is currently exhausted.

Treating fellow patients and keeping watch at night is one thing, but preparing hot water and such is really a waste.

"Shisui! Instead of worrying about this freak, you should worry about your comrades! I've been teaming up with this guy for so long, and the number of times he's completely exhausted his chakra can be counted on one hand!"

"Take your heart back inside!"

Asaka Uchiha was putting dehydrated vegetables, dried meat, seasonings, and other items into a cooking pot to start cooking.

At this moment, she smiled and spoke to the little boy with slightly curly, tousled hair and a distinctive round nose.

"Is Toshiro-senpai that strong? That's amazing~"

Hearing the explanation from the girl from his clan who had taken such good care of him, eight-year-old Uchiha Shisui looked at Toshiro's back with envy.

After a short period of contact, this senior from the same clan named Uchiha Toshiro left a deep impression on him.

The opponent was not only powerful, but also knowledgeable in almost every aspect related to ninjas. If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad.

In the ninja world, there are not many ninjas who know a little bit about everything, but there are still some. However, because their energy is scattered, most of them do not achieve much.

However, Toshiro-senpai is different. He not only has some knowledge of the subject, but based on the past few days of contact, his expertise in all aspects cannot be described as merely having some knowledge; he is quite proficient.

Even his chakra level, one of the most important standards for measuring a ninja's strength, was so outstanding, which really surprised him.

Inside the deepest part of the cave, Toshiro was preparing hot water when he overheard Asaka and Shisui's conversation, but he didn't pay it any mind. He was somewhat surprised that they had come to his party, but he didn't take it too seriously.

Even though the other person will be very powerful in the future, right now they're just an eight-year-old kid. Just keep a calm mind and there's no need to pay too much attention.

As for his own chakra reserves, as he used Sage Mode chakra to activate his body over the years, his chakra reserves began to increase exponentially.

Especially after he turned twelve, his body began to develop further, and the growth of his chakra surprised even him.

Sometimes, it really is just a matter of sleeping well and getting a good night's rest, and when you wake up the next day, you can feel your chakra increasing...

This also meant that he wasn't as stingy with his chakra as before, for example, right now:

"Earth Escape Technique: Earth and Stone Wall"

He formed hand seals and used an Earth Release ninjutsu to create a chakra construct on the ground, roughly 2x2 cm in size and only 60-70 cm high, resembling a stone wall.

"Water Release: Water Bullet Technique"

Then, using the Water Bomb technique, she filled the newly created "bath" and placed her hands on the water's surface.

Before long, a pool of hot water at a suitable temperature was ready.

It's not that Toshiro is being pretentious; he doesn't want to expend his chakra to prepare a hot bath during wartime.

Rather, he felt that most of his teammates had become neurotic due to long hours of high-risk missions.

If we don't find ways to let them relax properly, their condition will continue to decline. And this decline will become more and more serious over time.

This is going to be a bit of a headache!

After much deliberation, Toshiro, their captain, finally came up with a solution to ease the tension on his teammates' nerves.

Of course, he understood the principle of knowing when to stop, and he wouldn't do this unless he was in a safe place and had taken precautions.

Moreover, the water temperature cannot be too high, otherwise it would really become a hot spring. If any unexpected event were to occur, how would they fight if they were so weak from being soaked in hot water?

If something like that really happened, they'd probably become the laughingstock of the entire ninja world. The Uchiha clan's reputation would likely be ruined because of them.

As for why he can use water and earth-attribute ninjutsu?

He only tried it briefly, but he was able to use both types of ninjutsu very smoothly. The process went so smoothly that it was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Moreover, as time went by, he could clearly feel that whether it was the fire, thunder, and wind that he originally possessed, or the water and earth that he later mastered.

He began to control the five chakra natures more and more easily. In his previous life's words, his affinity for the five elements had made significant progress.

Even the power of ninjutsu has changed, becoming increasingly stronger.
