Chapter Twenty-Six: Erzhuzi Who Wet His Pants

"Bang bang bang!"

After several kunai were thrown out at the same time, the same number of kunai were taken out again. After they collided in pairs, the trajectory of the kunai was changed, and finally all of them hit their respective bullseye at the same time.

After showing off his skills, Itachi turned to Yun and asked, "Didn't you look down on these kinds of techniques? Why are you learning them now?"

Yun looked at his pitiful target, then at the kunai in his hand. It wasn't that he wanted to learn this technique; it was just that his clone needed it.

After fighting Danzo and Orochimaru at the orphanage, he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, but his aim with multiple kunai wasn't good enough. Otherwise, he could have tried to kill Danzo that day.

"Don't say anything, just teach me. I'll treat you to meatballs later if necessary."

Itachi frowned; he just couldn't get over the hurdle of the three-colored dumplings.

After explaining the calculation of the shuriken's trajectory in detail once again, Itachi showed off his skills once again.

These explanations, as heard by Yun, meant: Her brain said she understood the principles, her hands said she could exert force at any time, and then…

Missed the target!

"Hahaha... Yun, this is the first time I've seen you get frustrated."

Shisui, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, still suggested, "Itachi's calculation ability is indeed impressive. If you can't change the trajectory, you might as well try to hit multiple kunai at the same time with your accuracy."

"I think even so, it's enough for you. After all, everyone has their own fighting rhythm, and it's impossible for a human to be good at everything."

Yun Xiangxiang nodded, and after practicing for a while, she asked Shisui beside her, "You have so much free time after returning from the mission? Didn't Uchiha Hachimoku call you in for a meeting?"

Shisui glanced at Itachi in the distance, and after confirming that Itachi couldn't hear him, replied, "Since Captain Fugaku passed away, the security forces have been under the command of Lord Yatsuhoshi. Lord Yatsuhoshi actually understands the relationship between the Uchiha and the village very well."

Yun scoffed: "So that's his father's problem, that so-called elder, the Seventh Hokage Uchiha?"

Shisui nodded helplessly: "As a staunch supporter of Uchiha Setsuna back then, the Seventh Elder has always been a hawk within the clan, believing that Konoha was founded by the Uchiha and Senju. The Senju served as Hokage for two generations, but not a single Uchiha, not even..."

Yun sighed and continued, "They were even excluded from the village and never entered the center of power. This involves problems left over from the Second Hokage, as well as problems within the Uchiha clan itself."

The two talked for a while, then stopped when Itachi came over.

It was already noon, and the three of them were about to eat something when Yun and Itachi were both taken aback.

The two exchanged a glance, and Zhishui asked, "What's wrong?"

Itachi replied, "It seems I have to go back. I think it's the same for Yun. My shadow clone has been broken."

Yun smiled and said, "I have to go back too. But my shadow clone wasn't turned into smoke; it was those older students who got a pretty bad beating from it. They exploded, and I have to go back and clean up their mess..."

These words made Itachi look over: "You have a lot of chakra?"

Yun replied calmly, "Not much, just a little over a billion more than yours..."

Just kidding. Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, was no joke when it came to Chakra. My Sage Body is still under development, otherwise I could easily capture two tailed beasts to keep as pets.

……

At the ninja academy, Yun looked at the several big, dumb-looking guys with bruises and swollen faces in the infirmary and felt a headache coming on.

Although there was nothing wrong with the memories transmitted back by the shadow clones, and the original body still had to be fought, why the hell did they end up picking on the entire upperclassmen?

Is this the rhythm of Boxing Town Kindergarten?

Yun touched her wallet, wondering if it could withstand the strain.

As Yun was thinking about this, he looked at Itachi beside him. As the son of the former Uchiha clan leader, he shouldn't be short of money, right?

The yoke understood immediately and whispered, "Don't look for me. I didn't beat up all the upperclassmen, and I don't have any money."

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the door to the infirmary was kicked open.

A group of Chunin and Jonin rushed in, comforting their children as they found them, while glaring angrily at the two Uchiha present.

The original body is taking the blame for the shadow clone's actions? Is he really that domineering? That's outrageous!

Silently taking out his wallet, Itachi sighed and whispered, "You help me pay the money, and I'll teach you the techniques for making kunai. I have a simple algorithm."

Damn it... You old bastard!

After silently paying the money and apologizing profusely, Yun and Itachi were finally freed from their teacher's spittle.

However, when it came to the last two, Yun found herself encountering familiar faces from her memories.

Umino Iruka, Mizuki.

Unexpectedly, these two were also beaten up by their own shadow clones. One of them asked with a grin how he trained and why he was so powerful.

The other Mizuki also appeared indifferent, but a deep-seated hatred lingered in his eyes.

……

After leaving the school, Yun glanced at Itachi beside her: "Today's incident was caused by their revenge against you. If I weren't also a Uchiha, they wouldn't have been able to pin it on me at all. So..."

Itachi nodded: "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll learn my techniques."

After a long silence...

Yun thought for a moment and then asked, "Itachi, are you very poor?"

Itachi glanced at Yun, then turned back and remained silent for a while: "The garrison's funds come from the village. When Father was alive, he had to carefully calculate every penny that came in and went. Although the clan's territory is large, because it is located on the periphery, the businesses of ordinary clansmen are not doing well."

These words didn't explain anything, but Yun understood their meaning.

No wonder the Uchiha clan owed Granny Cat money for a long time in the original story, and no wonder Shisui gave Itachi a set of ninja tools a while ago.

It seems that the Fourth Hokage doesn't have the power over funds, so is it Danzo? No, it's not appropriate to blame him for this; he clearly controls the Root organization.

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado—those must be those two old geezers.

……

At Itachi's house, a little boy, walking unsteadily, was craning his neck and peering out from the door frame.

"Oh? This is your younger brother Sasuke?"

Itachi's smiling face, which had been fixed on his younger brother, instantly changed color as he turned around: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Yun pointed at Sasuke and said, "He wet his pants, aren't you going to change them?"

These words made Itachi quickly look over, only to see that Sasuke's crotch was wet, with two drops of water dripping down.

"Can you keep an eye on this for me? I'm going inside to get my pants."

Itachi, who rushed into the house, didn't see that Yun, who had been all smiles, was now slowly walking towards Erzhuzi.

……

"Wow wow wow..."

A child who is a little over one year old cannot speak yet; he can only cry loudly to get attention.

A short while later, Itachi and his mother emerged carrying the pants, but the scene before them nearly made Itachi draw his sword.

"What...what are you doing?!"

Yun glanced at the furious Itachi and casually replied, "It was just a flick."

Itachi, who was about to draw his sword, had murderous intent in his eyes.

"Itachi, you are being very rude."

Mikoto's words stopped Itachi, but her eyes clearly implied that they would settle the score tomorrow.

After declining Itachi's mother's invitation to have dinner together, Yun smiled slightly at Sasuke who had just appeared, which caused Sasuke to burst into tears again before Yun left satisfied.

When I got home, there was a clump of hair in a glass bottle.

I don't know if my hair was okay. I should have pushed it on purpose and made it bleed a little.

……

Chapter 27: A Day at the Ninja Academy

After placing a tuft of Erzhuzi's hair into the scroll, Yun opened the hidden compartment under the bed and put it inside.

Looking at the two scrolls in the hidden compartment, one of them, Obito's three-quarters arm, could be used as a medium between Hashirama and Obito, while the other, Sasuke's hair, would have to be tested when the time came to find out.

However, it's impossible to make a deal with Erzhuzi at this stage. What does a little kid of just over a year old know? He can't even speak clearly; it's like talking to a brick wall.

Furthermore, it's uncertain whether Indra's chakra is in Sasuke's body at this time. The Six Paths of Reincarnation doesn't say when it came into existence or whether it came with reincarnation.

"boom."

Gently closing the hidden compartment, Yun sat on the bed and pondered the hand seals for Wood Release.

After much thought, it seems that the Great Pillar has almost never used hand seals. It's like how Hashirama Senju and Madara both clap their hands together to form a seal and summon whatever they want; they seem to do it that way.

The origin of hand seals was created by Indra, who accidentally discovered that hand seals could guide the power of chakra. But did Indra and Ashura need to use hand seals?

The Sage of Six Paths clearly didn't need hand seals; the Great Pillar could use all Wood Release techniques with just the Snake Seal. No, I remember Kouan needing to use hand seals when he sealed the Nine-Tails with his bare hands.

The same applies to Madara's Great Fireballs being extinguished, but it's needed for summoning Kurama.

The Second Hokage's reanimated form used the same hand seal to activate both the Water Formation Wall and the other ninjutsu during the first part of the series.

In other words... there's no logic to it?

Yun scratched his head. He had been practicing the water and earth chakra nature transformations on his clone Kong's side. Once the Wood Release was fully formed, Wood Release ninjutsu such as Advent of a World of Trees would be essential.

The Book of Seals in the Hokage Building is not easy to obtain, and I need to maintain my persona. It would be too much of a loss to ruin it for a few Wood Release ninjutsu.

So, does this mean we have no choice but to develop it ourselves?

……

The next day, Quan stared blankly at her brother who had gone to school with her.

"Not a shadow clone?"

Yun smiled helplessly: "Yesterday's events were a bit big, and I was a little worried about sending a shadow clone."
