Konoha's Mission Master

Chapter 302 The two disciples meet and have a heart-to-heart talk.

The ancient trees are lush and the breeze is warm.

Yakumo stood under the tree, waiting for Itachi Uchiha to finish his meditation, his face showing no impatience whatsoever.

In his perception, Uchiha Itachi's aura, though weak, was full of vitality.

As time went by, Itachi Uchiha's breathing became very regular, long yet not heavy at all, and in response to his breathing, the speed of his chakra flow also became orderly.

This is a relatively advanced technique within the Hatake Secret Manual.

Even though Itachi Uchiha had only just begun to grasp the basics, his talent was still enough to make him a peerless genius.

An hour later, Uchiha Itachi opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Yakumo standing quietly under the shade of a tree. He immediately jumped up, bowed, and greeted him.

"Good afternoon, Master."

Upon seeing this, Yakumo's smile deepened. Despite sitting cross-legged for a long time, his legs did not stiffen due to lack of blood flow, indicating that he had clearly learned to mobilize the meager chakra within his body.

This chakra is not refined, but is the chakra that one naturally possesses. Although it is very weak, it can still promote blood flow in the body when mobilized.

"You've made good progress," Yakumo praised.

"It's all thanks to my master."

Uchiha Itachi smiled shyly and replied.

"Sigh~"

Yakumo gasped dramatically.

"My disciple is indeed extraordinary; he has learned how to flatter at the tender age of four."

Uchiha Itachi: "Master, what is flattery?"

What you just did was...

"No, that was genuine admiration for my master."

Itachi Uchiha smiled slightly.

This isn't the Uchiha Itachi I remember...

Yakumo thought to himself, "According to the course of history, Itachi Uchiha should be contemplating the nature of war, the meaning of life, and the value of being Hokage."

Only in this way can we live up to the name of a great philosopher.

"Let's practice the basic sword stances."

Yakumo gave the order, while simultaneously creating some distance to give Itachi Uchiha space for his upcoming demonstration.

"As ordered."

Itachi Uchiha drew his Fire Flower.

He took a stance in the courtyard, gripped the sword with both hands, and swung it rapidly. Although he was young, the sharp wind of the sword already descended, and the crimson blade seemed to dance like flames as it was swung.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha was like a lively fire spirit, and Yakumo could even sense that the surrounding temperature was slowly rising.

Itachi Uchiha's movements were quite skillful.

Yakumo could tell that this was the result of hundreds or even thousands of practice sessions, but unfortunately, the way he wielded the blade was somewhat rigid and lacked agility, and the transitions were not very smooth.

"Indeed, your talent has greatly surprised me."

Yakumo offered his encouragement without reservation.

After all, Itachi Uchiha is only four years old this year and has only been practicing swordsmanship for a few months. To have achieved such a feat is already quite remarkable.

These fundamental things need to be carefully refined.

The image of Tool Man No. 1 appeared in Yakumo's mind.

Before that, we need to use golden electric arcs to strengthen Itachi Uchiha's cells and promote his physique to slowly become stronger. Only in this way can we lay the foundation for the strongest body.

"Stop, let me help you soothe your body."

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha stopped and sheathed his sword.

"Master, is there anything I need to do?"

"No need, just lie down."

Yakumo stretched out both hands; his left hand held a ball of azure energy, while his right hand displayed extremely fine golden arcs of electricity. Both approached Uchiha Itachi at the same time.

"Don't worry, don't be afraid, it won't hurt too much."

Yakumo gently comforted Itachi Uchiha.

"Master, I'm not afraid, and I'm not afraid of pain. I trust you."

Itachi Uchiha spoke sincerely, in a childlike voice.

Yakumo thought to himself, "Some people are destined for greatness."

When he was four years old, he cried for most of the day because the neighbor's kid took his lollipop.

But by the age of four, Itachi Uchiha had already learned how to create joy and happiness for his teacher.

Itachi Uchiha was a master of the art of speaking.

"Electric current strengthens cells, thereby increasing physical strength."

During the enhancement process, Yakumo slowly began to explain the principles of physique enhancement to Itachi Uchiha.

"Master, the human body has so many cells, how can it be perfectly strengthened?"

Uchiha Itachi was a little nervous at first.

But when the two energies entered his body, he felt no pain. Instead, he felt as if he were in a warm spring, floating on air, with the fine, thread-like energy constantly flowing through his body.

This time, I was completely relieved and asked aloud.

"It's very simple. Just divide your own energy into a billion parts and send them into the cells. The energy will strengthen the cells on its own."

"Master, is this really something a human could do?"

“Of course, it’s a pity it’s not suitable for you. Your chakra nature has a large proportion of fire chakra, which is not suitable for learning medical ninjutsu,” Yakumo explained.

"Is this medical ninjutsu?"

Itachi Uchiha asked in surprise.

He was born into the Uchiha clan, which means he came from a family with a long tradition of learning ninja skills. He began systematically learning the basics of ninja skills when he was three years old.

The medical ninjutsu recorded in the book focuses on detoxification, hemostasis, and healing.

It didn't say that it could enhance physical strength.

"Medical ninjutsu is a ninjutsu that explores the body's hidden secrets, so naturally, when it is improved to a very high level, it can develop the ability to strengthen the body."

Yakumo diligently strengthened Itachi Uchiha's body.

My colleague patiently explained that the two energies worked together seamlessly without any disruption.

"Then why are there no records of this in the books about medical ninjutsu in my family?"

Uchiha Itachi adjusted his appearance and pressed Yakumo for an answer.

"Medical ninjutsu only involves physical enhancement after reaching an extremely high level."

If your family's books on medical ninjutsu don't mention this, it's probably because the Uchiha clan researched medical ninjutsu.

It hasn't reached a very deep level yet.

“I understand,” Itachi Uchiha said.

"The Uchiha clan has a very poor grasp of medical ninjutsu!"

Itachi Uchiha's words were overheard by Fugaku Uchiha, who was returning from the Security Department. Fugaku remained expressionless and quietly hid behind a tree to eavesdrop.

"Most members of the Uchiha clan possess fire-style chakra, which results in very few members meeting the criteria for medical ninjas."

While their research in this area is rather superficial, the Uchiha clan's Fire Release ninjutsu and genjutsu are the strongest in the ninja world.

“I see,” Itachi Uchiha replied.

Yakumo withdrew his hands, and the dual-colored energy gradually dimmed and disappeared.

The first round of warming and strengthening is complete.

"It feels so good, and my physical strength has increased a lot."

Uchiha Itachi stretched.

"You'll need about sixty more enhancements in the future. Oh, by the way, go change your clothes. I'll take you to see... Senior Brother later."

Uchiha Itachi nodded and ran towards his room.

As Yakumo watched Itachi Uchiha's retreating figure, the gray gas in the void drifted in the wind, transforming into black characters the size of flies.

Name: Uchiha Itachi

Age: 4 years old

Intimacy: 91 (Extremely High)

Physical fitness: 10-11; Intelligence: 13-15

Status: Unable to form a party

After Yakumo's energy had thoroughly scanned Itachi Uchiha's body, this simple attribute panel naturally appeared.

With a slight thought, Yakumo's attribute panel disappeared naturally.

Beside him, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been hiding behind a tree, emerged, his feet crunching on the withered yellow leaves.

"Yakumo-sama..."

"I've said it many times, there's no need to be so polite."

Fugaku Uchiha nodded.

However, he leaned forward, maintaining a respectful posture.
