Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 66 Credit

"I can teach you, but even if you learn the hand seals with one hand, you won't be able to perform two ninjutsu simultaneously!"

Toshiro didn't seem to be holding onto his possessions. It was just simple meditation; it was uncertain whether he could maintain it.

You have to understand, practicing meditation for at least three months is practically ineffective, even if it does produce some results. If it weren't for the magical technique he was using to keep him going, he doesn't know if he could have persevered!

He agreed so easily?

Both Uchiha Shigemasa and Uchiha Homura beside them showed expressions of surprise.

Ninja training is highly private.

Even within the same family, it would be quite surprising if someone casually passed on such an advanced technique as one-handed hand seals.

"Let me tell you, I've discovered meditation..."

In the following time, Toshiro explained to them in detail the Zen meditation method he had come up with.

And I strongly recommend it to them.

"In short, if you stick to my method for three months, you'll see the benefits after three months!" After explaining the detailed training steps, Toshiro said with an air of great confidence.

"Just by simply sitting cross-legged in meditation, one can master the art of forming a hand seal with one hand?" →_→

The three people present all looked incredulous, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

It's important to understand that ninja training largely relies on chakra. But the training method Toshiro described, let alone chakra, seemed to them like the way monks in temples usually sit cross-legged.

Faced with the three men's suspicious gazes, Toshiro couldn't help but cry out that he was wronged. It was truly a case of "I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter."

"What I said is true. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try it. You'll only waste some time; there's nothing else to lose!" In the end, he was quite helpless and could only adopt this "believe it or not, it's up to you" attitude!

Judging from his expression, he seems serious!

[Can such a ridiculous method of cultivation really be effective?]

[Should I try it when I get back? Or maybe not, I don't want to become a monk in a temple!]

Uchiha Shigemasa, Homura, and Tetsuya all looked at Toshiro with suspicion, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Toshiro's method seems to have some effect, but it's also likely closely related to his own talent and abilities!"

As an experienced elite Jonin, Uchiha Shigemasa vaguely felt that this method should have some effect. However, compared to this method of 'Zen meditation' training, he believed that Toshiro's own talent was more outstanding.

He was unaware that for the Uchiha clan, meditation alone was incredibly beneficial for calming the mind. His ambiguous and dismissive attitude also caused his other two disciples to abandon their training.

In the end, the four of them devoured ten adult-sized portions of grilled meat. Looking at Shigemasa's slightly green face, both Toshiro and Homura chuckled, their expressions smug. Only Tetsuya remained oblivious.

At this moment, Mr. Shigemasa, whose wallet wasn't thick enough, was leaning on the counter, discussing something with Uncle Daiki. However, judging from Uncle Daiki's amused expression and Mr. Shigemasa's dejected look, it was clear that he had been mocked by Uncle Daiki.

Thankfully, there was no situation where the teacher was forced to wash dishes at the shop to pay off the debt. After all, they're all family, and they'll run into each other all the time. As long as you phrase it politely and lower your stance a little, there's still a chance!

Just as they were discussing the practice of "Zen meditation," in the Third Hokage's office, a masked ANBU member suddenly appeared before him, kneeling on one knee and handing him a document.

Having received the information, the figure disappeared into the shadows without him even having to say a word.

As he flipped through the documents one by one, the Third Hokage sighed silently, then looked up at the photo of the Second Hokage on the wall.

There were about 20 documents in total, and the top one had a picture of Uchiha Toshiro on it. It also detailed Toshiro's eight skills as a ninja: ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, sagacity, jutsu (wisdom), strength, speed, precision, and hand seals.

The owners of these documents all share the common surname Uchiha. These are the personal profiles of all Uchiha genin who graduated this year.

It began before he ascended the throne.

Every year, when each member of the Uchiha clan graduates from the Ninja Academy, a separate file is created for them, collecting information about each individual. This process has never stopped since the system was established.

However, since it was a clandestine observation, it couldn't be conducted openly. Therefore, the data collection wasn't very comprehensive. For example, the most prominent aspect recorded about Toshiro was the power of his Fire Release techniques. There was absolutely no mention of his one-handed hand seals.

Although Konoha's detection barrier covered the entire village, allowing him to observe most of it using his telescope technique, none of the Uchiha, Hyuga, or even the Aburame and Yuhi clans were within its reach.

It was unavoidable; after all, the village couldn't possibly monitor the movements of every clan. The Uchiha were simply an exception. Taking advantage of the fact that Konoha Prison was located within their clan's territory, the Anbu were able to observe them from afar using telescopes.

Some oversights are inevitable.

This is why Toshiro dared to unleash his full power within the clan's training grounds. As for being discovered while meditating, he wasn't afraid. The Hokage wasn't idle either; he used his telescope technique to observe the entire Hidden Leaf Village, even the remote place where he practiced meditation, as early as six or seven in the morning.

"His Fire Release techniques are incredibly powerful, far surpassing those of an average Chunin!" The Third Hokage muttered to himself, having carefully reviewed the entire stack of documents, as he watched Toshiro's figure. The documents included comments from various teachers at the Ninja Academy, praising him highly in ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and theoretical knowledge.

"Toshiro Uchiha, I hope you are also an Uchiha who has inherited the Will of Fire!"

He didn't pay too much attention to Toshiro, after all, as the Hokage, he had over ten thousand ninjas under his command. A mere eight-year-old genin, while excellent, was nothing special and not worth his time.

He then put these documents into a special filing cabinet. He then turned back to face the vast sea of ​​documents and the complex situation in the ninja world.
