Of course, Shisui didn't understand.
At this stage, he couldn't understand what Jingyi said, but he knew one thing the teacher didn't hate him, a student of the Uchiha clan.
On the contrary, he was very willing to communicate and share with him.
That alone was enough to make Shisui happy.
Jingyi didn't say a word.
The Ninja Academy was one of the few places where the Uchiha could communicate with the rest of Konoha.
After graduating early, it would be too difficult to interact with Konoha civilians again
The Uchiha seemed privileged, but in reality, they were isolated.
Jingyi disagreed with this, but was powerless to change it.
He told Shisui he didn't want to change anything it was just a sudden thought.
However
After a while, he received a prompt:
[You have received preliminary approval from Uchiha Shisui's heart.]
[You received a reward: Foundation of Genjutsu.]
Genjutsu?
That really touched on some blind spots.
Jingyi had many memories in his mind, and after thinking for a moment, he was quite satisfied.
He didn't intend to become a master of Genjutsu.
However, Genjutsu had a solid foundation and some useful side effects such as enhanced chakra control.
"Teacher, can I ask you some questions in the future?"
"Sure."
Jingyi had a big smile on his face.
Not just to be polite, but genuinely happy.
Shisui, good kid!
Just like a sheep delivered to the door the wool and scissors were ready for use.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Shisui bowed deeply.
He didn't realize that in Jingyi's eyes, he had changed from a good kid to a big, wooly sheep.
"Let's go, teacher's buying you a meal."
Jingyi smiled.
"Ah? No, no…"
Shisui was a little embarrassed, but he was dragged away by force.
Far away
A shadow clone looked on with resentment, watching Jingyi leave with Shisui.
Good grief!
Everything about caring for students? Fake!
More than anything, he just didn't want to exercise himself, leaving the clone to work here like a coolie.
His mental state was collapsing.
Jingyi let the clones train with taijutsu forms.
As for his main body
Only he could train that.
Once back, he had to start again his injuries still "hadn't healed."
And...
You need to be full to have the strength to train.
Ichiraku Ramen.
"Boss, two bowls of ramen."
"Alright, sir, please have a seat."
Right now, Teuchi was only in his twenties and looked very young. His daughter, Ayame, had just been born not long ago.
Shisui looked around curiously.
He'd heard of this shop obito seemed to like coming here, but…
He'd never eaten there before.
Soon
"Rin, I was really just careless during the day! If I try again… No, when I awaken my Sharingan, I'll definitely beat the teacher all over the place!"
Obito was bragging outside.
Before entering, he was still waving his arms, talking and gesturing dramatically.
Shisui held his forehead.
He had just thought of this clan brother, and the next moment, here he was and his entrance was completely unexpected.
Talking about beating the teacher…
Thanks for having the guts to say it.
He had the Sharingan, and still didn't think he could beat Jingyi especially after seeing Jingyi's powerful Water Release techniques.
Shisui understood very well.
In class, the teacher hadn't shown his full strength at all.
Jingyi wasn't surprised.
Obito was called the "dead last" by Kakashi for a reason.
He wasn't weak
But at this stage, he was like early Naruto terrible battle IQ.
Flanking, teamwork?
No clue!
Still cocky, talking about "Sharingan" all day even though the gap between him and other Uchiha geniuses was just one tomoe.
Upon entering, Rin stopped immediately.
Obito shuddered and seeing Jingyi, his first reaction was…
Turn and run.
But…
He had class tomorrow. Running now was just avoiding things. Later, the punishment could be worse.
His face turned green.
Damn it.
He was just bragging why did it have to be now?
He forced a stiff smile and bowed deeply as he entered: "Sumimasen!"
"Obito, you're impressive as quick to apologize as you are to screw up."
"Yes! I'm very sorry!"
Obito's face turned red.
"Alright, sit down. Tomorrow, I'm testing transformation and clone combination jutsu. You'll go up and give a demonstration."
"What?"
Pfft…
Rin couldn't hold back.
Obito had bragged so hard earlier now he was completely deflated.
She was amused.
"Teacher, I… I really can't. My chakra control is the worst…"
Obito's voice got quieter and quieter. He had just boasted he could beat the teacher if he awakened his Sharingan and now this happened. Super embarrassing.
"It's good to know your shortcomings. Practice more while you're not on the battlefield yet. As for the Sharingan… bloodline limits are only external. Whether you're strong or not depends on you."
"Shisui, what do you think?"
Always good to have someone else chime in.
Jingyi slipped into lecture mode.
What if he said something that triggered a new reward?
A life coach move.
Try more something might stick.
And hey, another Uchiha was right there.
Coincidence?
"It makes sense."
Shisui thought for a while, then gave a light nod.
No Uchiha didn't want the Sharingan, but after listening to Jingyi's words, and thinking them over, he realized the teacher had a point many powerful ninja had no bloodline limits, yet were still legends.
Like the Third Hokage, or the Third Raikage.
Strong, bloodline or not.
Obito felt uncomfortable, but had no rebuttal.
Just then, the ramen arrived.
"Enjoy your meal."
"Thanks!"
Jingyi composed himself, and then, following local etiquette, put his hands together before eating.
He took one slurp
Delicious!
The flavor was rich, and the ingredients plentiful. No wonder the shop had lasted in Konoha for so many years.
Shisui felt a mix of emotions.
There was tension and happiness, it was the first time he had eaten outside the Uchiha compound.
But…
It felt nice.
Obito sulked at first, sitting there quietly.
But
As soon as the ramen came, he turned into a rice cooker.
"I'm gonna start now!"
In the middle, Ayame's mother came out to help with the baby.
The shop was busy.
Jingyi and the others had arrived early, so they got seats. Those who came later had to stand and wait and this was wartime. Normally, it would be even more crowded.
With such skills, even in the ninja world, one could make a fortune.
After eating, Jingyi paid the bill, then said goodbye to Shisui, Obito, and Rin, and went home.
No rewards popped up.
But
No problem.
Now it was time to raise fish one day they'd bite.
You don't fear strong leeks.
Once home, his shadow clone's chakra ran out, and the clone dispelled.
A wave of fatigue hit.
That feeling was just…
Ugh.
But the results were good.
Though physical growth doesn't come from clones, practicing taijutsu forms helped he could roughly gauge his taijutsu level now.
By estimate, his hand-to-hand skills ranked among the stronger chunin or even weaker jonin.
Of course
That wasn't much. It only meant that if he went to war again, he could at least protect himself.
