I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 27 I'll make him make a fool of himself

The reason for Obito Uchiha's predicament was very simple: he lacked the strength in his waist and legs to support his body and keep it level.

He clearly possesses considerable chakra, capable of attaching his feet to tree trunks, yet he cannot straighten his back—something even a clown performing acrobatics can do.

He knew that Obito Uchiha had a poor foundation, but he never imagined it could be this bad, even worse than a four- or five-year-old child in the clan.

How embarrassing!

Obito completely disgraced the Uchiha clan, and even Uchiha Yu, who had no sense of clan identity, felt his face burning with shame.

Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and had a stable mindset. Uchiha Yu successfully covered up his embarrassment, sighed, and said, "There's no other way. You have to start with basic physical training."

"Pull-ups, flat-leg crunches, and inverted sit-ups—practice these three exercises first."

Obito Uchiha protested, "These are children's subjects! I'm a genin, after all..."

Uchiha Yu sneered disdainfully: "I've never seen a genin who's even worse than a child before."

Obito was speechless for a moment: "..."

"Stop talking about awakening the Sharingan. It's true that the Sharingan is the strongest bloodline limit, but it's only an auxiliary ability for dynamic vision, genjutsu, and copying actions."

"To unleash the power of the Sharingan, one's own fundamental strength is still crucial. If the Sharingan could grant one unparalleled power, other ninjas would have no chance of survival."

"With your physical condition, even if you were to awaken the Sharingan by sheer luck, you wouldn't have the basic power to utilize it. In that case, you would even ruin the reputation of the Sharingan."

Uchiha Yu's harsh words turned Obito's face ashen, completely shattering his wishful thinking, and he obediently began to practice as instructed.

"I don't care what happened in the past, but the debts you owe can only be made up for through double the effort. Get serious!"

"Do each movement 10 times as a set, repeat for 10 sets, then switch sets. Do all 10 sets before resting."

"Do planks during your rest time; that counts as rest."

Obito Uchiha had completely turned to ashes, but he didn't confront the attack head-on. He just muttered under his breath, "Demon, devil..."

Having dealt with the most difficult troublemaker, the other two well-behaved children only needed a glance from him to practice cautiously, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Miwa Masayo appeared on Uchiha Yu's shoulder and asked softly, "I remember you said you wanted to get along well with Obito, meow, why are you being so strict?"

"I'm being genuinely nice to him right now. What does being nice to him have to do with attitude?"

"Aren't you afraid he'll hate you, and things will backfire?"

"Hey, that's an excellent use of the idiom."

"Don't rush, don't rush. Obito Uchiha is no ordinary person; he has exceptional talent..."

"Meow?"

Miwa Masayo watched as Uchiha Obito raised his legs to do a crunch, his face contorted in pain, his skin as white as paper, and his legs trembling like a leaf...

Where is there even a hint of genius about him?

Uchiha Yu secretly showed the tanuki cat his Sharingan, which he had concealed with genjutsu, and then said, "I used to think he was a waste, just someone with good Sharingan talent, but now I know..."

"His physical abilities are truly exceptional. No wonder Madara Uchiha chose him as his tool. The Sharingan is not a tree without roots; it won't bloom on truly worthless mud."

"Masayo, pay close attention to the differences between Obito's movements in each set. Watch carefully."

Reminded by Uchiha Yu, Miwa Masayo carefully observed Obito's three consecutive sets of movements and was shocked to find that he had actually improved in each set.

Suddenly, her eyes turned dangerous.

"Yu, you said Obito was one of your most dangerous enemies, and now I believe you. He was truly a genius whose talent was wasted."

"Dead cat?"

Uchiha Yu shook his head and said, "No, the problem isn't Obito, but Madara Uchiha who's clinging to life. If we kill Obito now, the old man will have enough time to choose another Uchiha and train him into a substitute. So we can't kill him now."

"I need to wait until Madara Uchiha activates it on his own, then gently push him away, making him mess things up and leaving him no time to start over. Only then can I consider the danger successfully eliminated."

Uchiha Yu was silent for a moment, then sighed, "The ninja world is a deep and treacherous place. Death is not the end of life. For Uchiha Madara, if there really is no suitable replacement after Obito's death, he is willing to pay a huge price to revive Obito."

"I cannot but be extremely cautious."

"I want everyone to believe that although I was the one who killed Obito, I was the one who treated Obito the best. Even Obito himself would have to admit it!"

Masase Miwa: "..."

Uchiha Yu asked, "What's wrong, Rinka-chan?"

Masayo Miwa patted his chin with his paw and said timidly, "Rika-chan it is, call me whatever you like, but you have to promise you won't scheme against me, I'm scared..."

Uchiha Yu then realized that the idea of ​​killing someone and expecting praise from them had terrified Miwa Masayo. He quickly reassured her, "Don't be afraid. We're like brothers. I'd rather cut myself than hurt a single hair on your head."

"I hope so, meow."

"Wait, you plucked my fur before, pulled out my beard, and... and my eyebrows!"

"And why don't you just say stab yourself? You said it yourself, 'It's better to stab yourself once than to cut yourself three times!'"

In less than a minute, Miwa Masashi regained his sense of connection with his pet owner, laughing and frolicking, completely forgetting the panic and fear he had felt a minute earlier.

It's impossible not to love such an innocent and pure cat, whose heart is as clear as the snowmelt of the Tianshan Mountains.

The playful banter with Miwa Masayo softened Uchiha Yu's serious demeanor, causing the three genin to breathe a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere on the training ground lost its terrifying feel.

"Obito! You're slacking off. Add three more sets!"

"Ah? No!"

"If you dare say another word, five more sets will be added!"

Despite Uchiha Yu's stern reprimands, the atmosphere on the training ground remained tense and serious, maintaining the best training effect.

Obito Uchiha's talent was indeed exceptional, but without his dark side, he was truly doomed.

No matter how closely he was watched, or how severely he was punished, he simply couldn't concentrate. His mind wandered like a kite with a broken string, and he would forget all the lessons within five minutes, his thoughts drifting and his movements becoming relaxed.

Uchiha Yu thought that if Obito's Mind Monkey could manifest, it might just be the Monkey King himself kicking over Laozi's furnace, at his wildest, most violent, and most unruly moment.

It wasn't until almost dark that Uchiha Yu found Obito's weakness. When Obito was punished for his mistake by having Rin sit with him, Obito's restless mind was finally suppressed.

He diligently completed the training exercises as punishment, and after focusing his mind, his movements were precise, resulting in a noticeable improvement in his training and revealing incredible potential.

Having completed their training as planned, the two genin, who had time to rest and eat, were already too exhausted to stand up after only two extra sets of frog jumps and four sets of weighted squats.

Obito Uchiha, who had not rested or eaten lunch or dinner in between, completed all his tasks on an empty stomach. Although his whole body was trembling, he was still able to stand steadily.

Seeing Obito like this, both Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo had somewhat complicated expressions.

"That's all for today. Go home and take a nice hot bath."

"Yes~" x3

"Don't be lazy, or you'll regret it tomorrow morning."

"Oh, and don't be late tomorrow, or else..."

Lin suddenly laughed: "Otherwise, if one person is late, the whole team will be punished."

"Heh, you're right. Dismissed!"

"Yes!" x3
