Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 34. It seems like Brother Ban is in a bit of a hurry?

With excitement, Yan Yi finally got to practice in the afternoon.

Finally, nothing unexpected happened this time. When Ban brought Yan Yi back to the training ground, there was already a figure waiting in the middle of the training ground...

Ban stepped forward and waved to greet the other person.

"Brother Kazuhiko, this is my younger brother, Yan Yi. I'm entrusting his ninjutsu training to you from now on!"

The person Madara called Kazuhiko was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was looking at Yan Yi with a smile on his face.

"Hello, little brother Yan Yi! Just as Ban said, you look so cute~"

Yan Yi scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then bowed slightly respectfully and said, "Hello, teacher! I will work hard to cultivate!"

"Pfft~ Hahaha, little brother Yan Yi, you're being too polite. Although the clan leader has nominally arranged for me to be your teacher, I would prefer you to see me as an older brother!"

He Yan's tone was very easygoing, and with just a few words, he had already closed the distance between himself and Yan Yi, which greatly reduced the tension in Yan Yi's heart.

Brother Heyan...so that's what kind of person he is? He's such a good person!

The contrast between the two teachers was striking. If the old man was a stern mountain, even more imposing than a father, then the older brother before them was like a gentle breeze, his smile infectious...

"I understand, Brother Heyan!"

Yan Yi nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her little face flushed, making her look even cuter.

Ban gently patted Yan Yi's head, feeling much more at ease. This older brother was trustworthy, and as his father's capable subordinate, he was also very strong. There was no need to worry about anything happening to Yan Yi...

"I'll be going now, I have to go to training this afternoon too, I'll pick you up later!"

After giving a few instructions, Ban left with peace of mind.

Now, only Yan Yi and He Yan remain in the vicinity where they are standing.

"Yan Yi, don't be nervous. I've heard the clan leader say that you have great talent, but I will try not to put pressure on you. How about you cultivate like an ordinary clansman?"

Kazuhiko's tone was even as if he were "discussing" with Yan Yi. This sense of disparity made Yan Yi feel unreal for a moment. However, he was in a good state now, at least he wouldn't be in pain anymore.

Yan Yi thought for a few seconds and nodded.

Although I'm eager to become stronger, I can't be greedy and rush things. I should just cultivate according to the normal standards for now...

Seeing Yan Yi nod, He Yan also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Actually, this was his first time teaching someone else, and he wasn't particularly good at dealing with children.

Fortunately, Yan Yi seems well-behaved and has a gentle personality...

Thank goodness.

Kazuhiko finally mustered his confidence. Since his adorable younger brother wanted to learn from him, he couldn't let the clan leader down!

"Okay! I'll do it my way then! If there's anything you don't understand or can't keep up with, be sure to tell me, and I'll try my best to explain it to you."

Kazuhiko took a deep breath and, under Yan Yi's curious gaze, began to form hand seals...

"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"

A whirlwind flew from Kazuhiko's hand and quickly struck a wooden stake not far away.

Yan Yi's eyes shone with surprise.

Although I have always lived in the clan's territory, I have had very few opportunities to witness my clansmen using ninjutsu.

Everyone trains very seriously and usually doesn't let others watch, to avoid accidental injury.

"Yan Yi, let's learn this simple ninjutsu today! Although it's just the most basic Wind Release, we'll still need to put in some effort to master it!"

Then, under Kazuhiko's guidance, Yan Yi began to adjust the flow of chakra and the timing of hand seals.

Yan Yi listened attentively and quickly grasped the principle behind this ninjutsu...

Actually, Tajima's arrangement of Kazuhiko to Genichi was deliberate. After all, there are very few people in the clan who know Wind Release ninjutsu now, and Kazuhiko, as one of his capable subordinates, is one of the few Wind Release ninjas.

Due to its unique characteristics, Wind Release is highly compatible with the Uchiha clan!

As the clan with the most powerful fire-style techniques, the Uchiha clan's combat strength would increase significantly once they acquired wind-style techniques.

However, due to the inherent advantages of the Sharingan, learning ninjutsu is not particularly difficult for the Uchiha.

"Hmm...as expected of the clan leader's son, and he seems to have even better comprehension than Madara..."

Kazuhiko scratched his chin, looking at Yan Yi who was seriously tinkering with ninjutsu, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

This ninjutsu isn't particularly difficult; it's just a very basic technique. However, after only two or three repetitions, it's already almost at my current level...

That is, it is limited by age and total chakra reserves, otherwise it would be even more powerful.

"Brother He Yan, is this okay?!"

Yan Yi was filled with excitement. He hadn't used ninjutsu in a long time; the last time was on the day of the test, but he had collapsed from exhaustion afterwards...

Only now did Yan Yi directly realize how helpful the hellish training he had undergone in the previous month had been!

Originally, I might have reached my limit by making three or five gusts of the Gale Palm, but now I've made five Gale Palms and I still feel like I can do it with ease.

Is this considered an increase in total chakra? Or is it that chakra manipulation ability has been greatly enhanced, resulting in less chakra consumption when using the same ninjutsu?

"Of course, little brother Yan Yi is very skilled. Next, I'll teach you some other ninjutsu!"

"Great!"

......

The afternoon passed quickly. Yan Yi was quite talented and always managed to grasp the essentials quickly.

Kazuhiko, who was initially surprised, gradually came to accept it.

On the other hand, he was especially happy, as he had never felt that learning was such a joyful thing.

Compared to enduring pain and shedding countless tears and blood every day after training, learning now is truly joyful.

However, Yan Yi was still very grateful to her first teacher. If it weren't for that old man tormenting her every day, she would never have been able to improve her foundation so quickly.

As darkness fell, Ban returned on time to meet Yan Yi.

Seeing Yan Yi's face covered in sweat but looking incredibly happy, Ban felt an immediate sense of satisfaction...

"Yan Yi! Come home for dinner!"

Ban called out in Yan Yi's direction from afar, and Yan Yi gradually came back to his senses.

"Bandit? Ah... is it already this late?" Yan Yi was so immersed in the world of ninjutsu that he even forgot the time.

He Yan walked over and patted Yan Yi on the shoulder: "Alright, little brother Yan Yi, let's call it a day! Cultivation should be done step by step, don't overwork yourself!"

Yan Yi's eyes revealed deep gratitude as he bowed deeply to He Yan.

"Thank you and Brother Yan! I had a lot of fun learning today!"

That's just Yan Yi's personality. He remembers all the kindness others show him, even his clansmen, his parents, and his brothers.

He didn't take the opportunity to share his ninjutsu and learning experience without reservation...

Kazuhiko smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Don't be so polite, little brother Yan Yi. We're all doing this for the Uchiha clan. Besides, the clan leader has been kind to me, so I will definitely do my best to teach you well."

Ban walked up to him, looking at the gleam in Yan Yi's eyes, and hearing Yan Yi repeatedly call him "Brother He Yan," he felt a strange pang of jealousy...

With a slight smirk, Ban quickly took Yan Yi's small hand and said to Kazuhiko, "Thank you for your hard work today, Kazuhiko-nii. We'll head back now!"

After saying that, Ban didn't waste any time and took his younger brother home.

Kazuhiko waved to the two men and watched them leave.

Yan Yi was being led by Ban a little too quickly, and he couldn't help but feel a bit strange. Why did Ban-ge seem so odd? And as if he had something urgent to attend to...
