Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 38 The Inuzuka Clan's Choice
Uchiha Douhuan took Sasuke to the backyard where he usually practiced archery and turned on the lights in the corridor.

"What are they?" Uchiha Douhuan asked.

"My brother taught me the Three Body Technique before, and then I just learned the Lightning Release: Thunder Ball a few days ago." Sasuke also became more energetic when mentioning ninjutsu.

"Thunder ball, let me take a look." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"Yes!" After Sasuke agreed, he quickly formed seals with his two small hands. Not long after, a golden lightning ball with a diameter of more than one meter appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them. It flew forward seven or eight meters and then exploded. A dazzling white light flashed in the dim backyard in an instant.

After doing all this, little Sasuke looked at Uchiha Dohuan with expectant eyes, wanting to get praise from his teacher.

However, Uchiha Dohan slapped Sasuke on the back of the head with a big slap, leaving the child confused.

"What are you doing, kid? I asked you to use a ninjutsu, but you blew up my lawn?"

"I'm sorry..." Sasuke said weakly.

"Watch carefully, this is how you use the thunder ball." After Uchiha Douhuan finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and a dark blue thunder ball with a diameter of only ten centimeters appeared out of thin air.

Although the scale of this thunder ball was much smaller than the one he had just created, Sasuke could clearly feel that the energy contained in this thunder ball was more condensed.

Then, Uchiha Douhuan turned his fingers, and the thunder ball began to circle around the two of them according to Uchiha Douhuan's guidance. For a moment, Sasuke was stunned.

After the thunder ball circled around the two of them for a few times, Uchiha Douhuan snapped his fingers again, and the dark blue thunder ball suddenly flew into the sky and exploded into a ball of fireworks.

"How amazing." Uchiha Sasuke exclaimed.

"See? Go back and practice according to this. When you can do this, I will teach you something else." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"Yes!" Sasuke responded confidently.

Looking at Sasuke's confident smile, Uchiha Dohuan also smiled. This kid probably wouldn't pester him to learn new ninjutsu for a long time. You know, what he did just now required precise control of chakra in subtle ways. Even many Chunins who were good at lightning escape techniques might not be able to do it. Sasuke, a beginner, would probably have to suffer a bit if he wanted to do this.

However, with this process of honing basic skills, once Sasuke is able to do this, he will be able to learn other ninjutsu with half the effort in the future.

Moreover, the process of practicing this kind of delicate chakra control can also hone the character of this child. In the original timeline, Uchiha Douhuan couldn't stand the temper of Haruka Juku who would go out and get beaten on a whim.

After Sasuke left, Uchiha Douhuan also changed his clothes and prepared to go to the training ground to complete today's daily training.

Before leaving, Uchiha Douhuan said:

"Sister Keiko, please help me deliver a visiting card to the Inuzuka family and the Aburame family later."

"Now?" Uchiha Keiko asked, "It's so late."

"It's okay, I don't think they will care." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"Then, under what name should it be given?" Uchiha Keiko asked.

"Let's use the name of the Security Department for the Inuzuka family, and as for the Aburame family, just use my personal name." Uchiha Douhuan said.

"I understand." Uchiha Keiko nodded in response.

...That night, the two clans that received Uchiha Douhuan's visiting card were not at peace.

The Inuzuka clan held a clan meeting immediately after receiving the visiting invitation.

Unlike previous Uchiha clan meetings that would start arguing with each other within five minutes, never reach a conclusion, and might even resort to violence on a whim, the Inuzuka clan's meetings can be described as highly efficient.

In a not-too-big room in the family shrine, three senior ninjas of the Inuzuka clan, including the clan leader, and the clan's great elders were sitting around a table. In the center of the table was the visiting card that Uchiha Keiko had sent not long ago.

The current head of the Inuzuka clan, Inuzuka Jaw, glanced at the people present and said, "Tell me, what do you think of this visiting card?"

"Is the Uchiha clan taking the initiative to show us goodwill? This is rare." The great elder of the Inuzuka clan, Inuzuka Bones, who is 75 years old this year, said.

"The new head of the Uchiha clan seems very different from their previous heads," Inuzuka Jaw said. "Feng, you've been on missions with the new head of the Uchiha clan. Can you share your impressions of him?"

The youngest of the four, Inuzuka Feng, touched his chin upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he spoke: "This new Uchiha clan leader, how should I put it? I can't see through him at all."

Inuzuka Feng's words made everyone frown.

"However, we shouldn't suffer any loss if we cooperate with him." Inuzuka Feng said, and then briefly recounted to the other three what happened in Orochimaru's base that day.

"So that's how it is. The patriarch of this generation of the Uchiha clan is quite a character." Inuzuka Bones said at this time.

"So, do we have to fully cooperate with the Uchiha?" Inuzuka Retsu, the last senior ninja present, asked at this time.

"It's not that serious." Inuzuka Jaw reached out and picked up the invitation on the table. "This Clan Leader Dou Huan sent this invitation in the name of the Security Department. It gives our clan the freedom to choose. Rei, from the clan's newest batch of adult ninja dogs, we will select the twenty most capable ones and send them to the Security Department as a gift from the Inuzuka clan."

"Not enough." At this time, Inuzuka Bones suddenly said, "In addition to these, select a few dog trainers and talented ninja dog users from the clan and have them join the security team. If possible, ask the Uchiha for a few more security department positions every year."

After hearing what Inuzuka Bones said, Inuzuka Jaw was a little surprised: "Great Elder, if that's the case, then in the eyes of others, our Inuzuka clan is equivalent to completely turning to the Uchiha clan."

"Since Chief Douhuan is so sincere, we might as well show the sincerity of our Inuzuka clan." Inuzuka Bones said.

"This... Elder, isn't this a bit too hasty?" Inuzuka Jaguar was a little hesitant. He didn't know why the elder who always reminded him to be cautious would go against his usual habit and make such a radical proposal today.

"Jaw, do you know why I've repeatedly reminded you, as clan leader, to be cautious in every choice you make?" At this moment, Inuzuka Bones looked at Inuzuka Jaw. "While our Inuzuka clan has had a family tradition dating back to the Warring States Period, we're ultimately just a small family that has mastered the secrets of taming ninja dogs. We can't compare to those bloodline families that are naturally gifted with powerful fighting abilities. Only by being cautious can we build a family fortune and give our family the capital to take a gamble when opportunities arise."

"381 years ago, in response to the invitation of the Senju clan, our ancestors at that time joined with their entire families, which led to the establishment of the Inuzuka clan today. Now, new opportunities are before us," said Inuzuka Bones.

"Are you so optimistic about the new head of the Uchiha clan?" Inuzuka Retsu asked at this time.

"Just think of this as the intuition of an old man like me who lived through the Warring States Period," Inuzuka Bones said with a smile, then looked at Inuzuka Feng: "Feng, what's your opinion?"

"Following this Chief Dou Huan? That's not a bad idea." Inuzuka Feng said with a smile, "Our clan has been on the fringes of the village for a long time. We are all a family of esoteric arts. If Zhu Lu Chou can get to where he is today, we might as well fight for it."
