I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 40 He's an idiot

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"It's amazing, absolutely amazing, the pain is gone!"

"Brother Yu, can I entrust this to someone else?"

"no."

"Why? Why can't we teach such a wonderful thing to our people?"

"Because they are not geniuses, but you are."

"what?"

"I won't lie to you, I figured out this technique myself. Shisui, I'm only eighteen. Do you think I can guarantee that this technique is flawless?"

"It seems impossible..."

"What do you mean 'seems like'? It's absolutely impossible for it to be perfect. There are definitely many flaws in it. Geniuses can use their talents to jump over them, avoid the damage, and enjoy the benefits."

"Do ordinary ninjas possess such keen talent?"

The dazed Zhi Shui shook his head: I'm a genius, how could I be wrong?

"Think about it again. If I were to teach this to someone right now, which parent would believe me and let their child practice it when they heard it was a training technique invented by an eighteen-year-old Chunin?"

Zhi Shui was dumbfounded: So they were using me as a guinea pig.

"Therefore, for this technique to spread, it needs a genius like Shisui. You need to be able to find the flaws and optimize them during training, and you need to make a name for yourself in the future so that everyone believes this chakra technique is effective. Only then can it truly spread."

"Okay, I will try my best."

Zhi Shui was on the verge of tears, never expecting that he would end up bearing the brunt of everything himself.

He's just a four-year-old child.

However, what Uchiha Yu taught was genuine and effective. Although Shisui had only practiced for three days, this genius had already fully experienced the benefits of the new training method.

It doesn't hurt, it's comfortable, progresses rapidly, and it's flawless.

However, Shisui was persuaded by Uchiha Yu. He believed that there must be flaws and problems in this, which he needed to find and solve himself. Then he could spread the word and help the Uchiha clan and the ninjas of Konoha improve their strength.

Driven by a strong sense of mission, Uchiha Shisui was full of motivation and engaged in comprehensive training with great enthusiasm.

Shinichi ran back and forth on the river, rapidly brandishing a short sword in his hand, simulating a water battle and undergoing intensive training in water treading.

Lin was carrying a thick medical book, reading and reciting it as she slowly walked across the rushing river – this was her intensive training regimen.

An hour and a half later, Obito Uchiha returned, drenched in sweat. Although he was not as fast as he could walk, he was definitely running.

After completing a phase of training, Shisui, who was resting, was the first to see it. He quickly stood up, wanting to go up and help her, but after standing up, he suddenly remembered what Uchiha Yu had said.

"Obito will be able to see his talent once he runs back."

Uchiha Shisui focused his attention and stared intently, and within seconds he figured it out.

He clearly remembered that although Obito had plenty of energy when he set off, the weight made him run unsteadily and unable to maintain his balance.

Now, Obito's strength was almost exhausted, and lifting his leg was incredibly difficult, but his torso was as straight and flexible as a pine tree. No matter how he moved his feet, Obito's body maintained a stable up-and-down sway, without causing any extra strain.

This is the best posture for a ninja's weighted running, and Shisui was also proficient in it. However, it took him an hour or so to master it under the guidance of the clan leader Fugaku, and he then practiced it privately for a long time before it became a habit.

Obito, without any guidance, was able to develop a physical habit in just an hour and a half, using it naturally without any thought or attention.

This talent is truly stronger than mine. How could such a super genius have a reputation as a "fool" within the family?

"Are you puzzled by Obito's reputation?"

"Yes, such a genius..."

"No, he's just an idiot."

"Among the various factors that bring out talent, personality is the more decisive factor than talent itself. You should understand Obito's personality now. He has too many thoughts, is not firm, and lacks perseverance. He could never have achieved anything."

When Uchiha Yu said this, he used all his willpower to control himself from turning his head and looking at where Rin was.

Uchiha Shisui acknowledged the role of personality, but he had a different opinion on the conclusion. After all, he had watched Yu skillfully manipulate Obito, forcing him to undergo effective training through various means and achieve remarkable progress.

"I think you did a great job, Obito-nii. You trained him very well..."

Uchiha Yu smiled smugly, but shook his head firmly: "Shisui, remember this: even the biggest mountain can be moved, but a person's character cannot be changed."

"My control over Obito has its limits, and he's almost at the limit of his ability to unleash his full potential and give up."

"Becoming stronger always depends on your own perseverance; you can't be forced by others."

Of course, the real problem is that Obito is too selfish by nature and an ungrateful wretch. How could Uchiha Yu possibly invest the time and energy to change him?

Let alone using Rin as a pretext, did Obito Uchiha really love Rin?

As the saying goes, "love me, love my dog," Obito, who constantly professed his love for Rin, was able to destroy Konoha Village, for which Rin had given her life, without batting an eye.

Perhaps he felt that Konoha was guilty of killing Rin, and in his anger, he destroyed Konoha, hoping to create conditions for being with Rin in the future.

It's a reluctant explanation, but it's still plausible.

What Uchiha Yu couldn't understand at all was why, after mastering so many amazing abilities, especially after becoming the Six Paths Obito by mastering the Rinnegan, he didn't make any attempt to revive Rin, but instead focused on realizing his ridiculous plan to be with Rin in a fantasy world.

Was the Rin that Obito wanted the real Rin, or just a doll named Rin that he imagined was only good to him?

It's terrifying to think carefully.

But these words couldn't be said to Shisui. Uchiha Yu explained, "Obito is lazy and stubborn. Unless something major happens that causes his personality to change 180 degrees, there's no hope for him."

"What kind of tragic suffering would be needed to change Obito's personality?"

"It's fine for Obito to be like this."

After saying that, he stepped forward, shooed the nervous Rin aside, and personally checked Obito's condition, finding that the kid still had a lot of energy.

So he pointed to the equipment that had been prepared beforehand and said, "If you're a man, stand up and do one hundred weighted squats."

Obito Uchiha didn't back down in front of the girl he secretly admired.

He cursed inwardly as he completed set after set of equipment training as instructed by Uchiha Yu, completely draining his last bit of strength until he collapsed on the ground, unable to get up.

Satisfied, Uchiha Yu dragged him to the riverbank and, amidst the gasps of the others, threw Obito into the water. He was incredibly strong; the small Obito was thrown a great distance, and the water was deep enough to drown him.

"Murder!—Ah, ah? Ah!"

"I did it! I can stand on the river!"

"I'm so amazing that I can actually stand up."

"Haha, Uchiha Yu, I've finished my training! I'm ending it right now, you can't torture me anymore! Hahaha!"

Uchiha Yu spread his hands at Shisui: "See? Didn't it explode? Didn't it just give up completely?"

Shisui was speechless, only lamenting in his heart that Obito had wasted his talent, and secretly warning himself not to make the same mistake.
