"I have nothing left to teach you."
When those words reached his ears, Huang felt not the joy of completing his mission, but a strange sense of loss, a loss he hadn't experienced in a long time.
It's like the sense of loss you felt in your past life, watching all the other children in the orphanage being adopted one by one, yet no one ever wanted to take you away.
Although this kind of teaching only lasted for half a month.
But Shizuku's incredibly detailed explanations, his unreserved teaching, and his punctual, yawning appearances every day greatly changed Huang's impression of him.
He no longer harbored as much resentment towards the incident where he was prevented from killing Itachi.
The other party just wanted to protect their best friend.
correct.
"I......."
He opened his mouth as if to say something.
But really, really, besides thank you, he really didn't know what else to say.
In recent years, he has been completely immersed in cultivation and is not good at socializing with others at all.
"Okay."
Uchiha Shisui noticed Ara's predicament and waved his hand to interrupt him.
Those sentimental words are very difficult for the Uchiha clan to hear or say, whether it's for them or not.
“I’ve already spoken to the elders. Starting tomorrow, you should return to the clan’s training grounds. Those little guys, Nai Shu, have already been severely reprimanded by Elder Yadai.”
he added.
The training grounds within the clan's territory, with their pre-set targets, stakes, and varied terrain, undoubtedly provided some assistance for training.
"No."
However, Huang shook his head decisively after hearing this, indicating his refusal.
Originally, even without Shisui teaching him ninjutsu and some practical combat and tracking techniques, he would have continued to hone his abilities on the training ground.
The threat posed by the roots last time is still fresh in my mind.
Now, with the knowledge of water-stopping irrigation, coupled with his daily training that has never stopped for the past five years, the combination of the two is equivalent to the effect of training alone for two or three months.
Therefore, what he needs now is real combat experience, real training!
"You're thinking?"
Uchiha Shisui frowned slightly, as if he had guessed what the other party was thinking.
"Okay, go accept the mission."
Huang nodded heavily.
"However, this is a time of peace. Unless a Jonin-level ninja can act alone, newly recruited ninjas need to be organized into small teams to carry out missions."
Shisui also agreed with Ara's idea.
All training is just theoretical; only real combat can lead to rapid growth. In times of war, even 6 or 7-year-old genin were used as chunin by various villages!
The current environment is much better, and the safety of genin on missions is significantly higher. Furthermore, with the internal pressure from within the clan, it's unlikely Danzo will attempt another small-scale operation anytime soon.
Otherwise, even at the cost of the family's honor, clan head Fugaku would have to make a firm decision.
However, if Huang wants to go on a mission, he will be in a difficult situation when it comes to finding a team.
Currently, this kid's reputation within the family is polarized. The police force, who have long been unhappy with the Dark Division, recognize Ara, and they would have no problem assigning one of them to be his mentor.
However, finding peers can be difficult.
Those little guys, led by Nai Shu, still harbor hostility towards the former.
If the goal is to find a contemporary from another tribe as a partner...
Not long ago, this kid just took down a genin in the training ground!
It's a good thing those kids don't hold a grudge against Huang, let alone want to go on missions together? Are you kidding me!
Zhi Shui suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head.
"Hmm, don't worry about me, Brother Zhishui."
"I will handle everything myself."
Seeing Shisui's troubled expression, Ara spoke earnestly.
"But......."
Uchiha Shisui frowned, wanting to say something more, but after all, the village rules were there, and it was impossible for a little kid to change them.
"If I can't even handle such a small matter on my own, how can I talk about protecting the family?"
Huang added softly.
Moreover, Yu Zhi had other plans in mind.
If the village doesn't give you a mission, then you have to go to other places to take one, like the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Fire, the underground bounty office, or the small villages in the surrounding area.
Most importantly, the Uchiha clan's reputation still stands, and for many outsiders, awakening the Sharingan is a symbol of strength!
"Yes, I'm relieved to see you have such awareness. I was the one who was overthinking things."
Shisui scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, a relaxed smile on his face, just like a friendly older brother next door.
"I really wish I had a younger brother like you, someone I could be proud of wherever I go!"
Looking at the sensible boy in front of him, he was moved to speak.
however.
next second.
"Yeah, me too."
"elder brother."
The title preceding "荒" was abolished.
It's not a false pandering, but a genuine call to action.
These days, he's been trying to figure something out.
How should I address this young man who taught me eye techniques and analyzed various practical combat skills?
teacher?
senior?
Is that guy who's open with everyone?
None of these seem to be able to express the emotions in Huang Xin's heart.
However, when Uchiha Shisui said, "I really wish I had a younger brother like you," Ara found the answer.
'elder brother.'
'Isn't this exactly how my older brother feels?'
I heard that Shisui's parents also died in the war, and he has been living alone for a very long time.
When he heard the call, Shisui was stunned.
He subconsciously rubbed his ears, as if he thought he had misheard something.
He clearly remembered the scene when Tianhuang was forced to come. Although he tried his best to cover it up, how could he not see the biting indifference and hostility with his experience?
But now...
"elder brother."
Huang called out at just the right moment.
This sound became increasingly resolute.
Zhi Shui's eyes reddened, seemingly because of the strong winds and sandstorms at the edge of the cliff.
He used to greatly envy the relationship between Itachi and Sasuke.
But I never imagined that what I once envied would become a reality today.
Moreover, Ara is much stronger than Sasuke!
"Eh."
He wiped his eyes and responded softly.
It feels so good to have a younger brother~
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's hurry back. Since you've made a decision, you should prepare well. There's not much more I can do to help you."
After calming down, Uchiha Shisui said with a smile.
All the worries that had been suppressed in my heart seemed to have vanished with that address.
However, Ara did not appear as optimistic as the former. Instead, he solemnly said, "Brother, be careful of the higher-ups in Konoha, especially those behind the scenes from Root."
He never forgot what happened to the other party.
"I've always been very careful, don't worry."
Uchiha Shisui responded easily, his face beaming with smiles, clearly pleased with being ranked at the top.
However, Huang had no intention of joking with him. He frowned in dissatisfaction and glared angrily at the former. This damned brother didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all!
"Hey, hey, I surrender, I promise!"
"We will absolutely, absolutely pay attention to Danzo's actions."
"Because I still want to protect my younger brother forever!"
Shisui raised his hands in surrender, his smile deepening.
