Early the next morning, Sasuke woke up in a daze, rubbed his eyes and was surprised to notice——
【This is not the room where Yiyong and I belong.】
He looked both ways and found that his older brother was sleeping on his right, and his twin brother was sleeping on his left. He couldn't be happier.
And the three of them were actually in Itachi's room.
【correct……】
Sasuke's memory was somewhat vague.
Last night, he seemed to be held by someone with one hand and moved here. It was just because he was too sleepy and he thought he was dreaming, so he didn't pay attention.
【Did my brother carry me here? 】
Two red clouds appeared on Sasuke's face. After all, he was the one in the middle, which meant that his brother really liked him more than Uprising!
Great!
【It would be better if it could continue like this and my mother wouldn't care about it. 】
Sasuke completely wanted to do it.
Giyuu on the side opened his eyes because of the movement of Sasuke covering his face and rolling around, and the mysterious voice also sounded in his head as expected.
[Getting close to Uchiha Itachi for 8 hours. Flame’s breathing resolution +0.06%; Wind’s breathing resolution +0.02%; Moon’s breathing resolution +0.004%.]
[10 hours of close contact with Uchiha Sasuke. Flame breathing resolution +0.07%; Thunder breathing resolution +0.03%.]
Although others couldn't see it, there seemed to be some rare joy on Yiyong's face.
[Sure enough, if you take Sasuke and sleep next to Itachi, the progress will be faster. 】
Overnight, the resolution of the Breath of Fire increased by 1.3% per thousand. If this continues, Giyuu will be able to resurrect Infernal Anjurou within two years even if he only sleeps in the same room with them.
Not to mention going to the training place with them during the day...
If the change in the nature of Itachi's fire attribute chakra can be further improved, and the resolution provided per hour is increased by 0.01%, the progress of resurrecting Anjurou from Inferno will be even faster.
However, using his two brothers quietly like this still made Yiyong feel a little guilty.
[After all, Sasuke is so old, maybe he no longer wants to sleep with Itachi. 】
(Sasuke: I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business!)
He planned to make his cooking more refined in the future to compensate them, or use the transparent world to give guidance when they were training so that they would avoid detours.
Yiyong stretched out his right hand and took a closer look, and found that the swelling caused by excessive covering of chakara yesterday had completely subsided.
He recalled what happened yesterday and had a rough idea of what his power was.
When he had a conflict with the three genin yesterday, he simply used his physical strength to fight back. His performance was already very good and he should have the destructive power of a chuunin.
When using breathing techniques while mobilizing chakra, the sword shape will be released in the form of ninjutsu! Its destructive power should depend on the amount of chakra consumed.
In the latter state, the sword type was too powerful, so Giyuu decided to use it sparingly. After all, if it hadn't been for Shisui, the boy named Uchiha Flame yesterday would have probably been killed by his Ten Types.
·The people were killed on the spot as they circulated.
[By the way, there is also the matter of learning to decipher illusions, which must be done as soon as possible. 】
Yiyong clenched his fists with firm eyes.
The same thing must never happen again.
"Are you all awake?"
Itachi also sat up, his eyes lingered on Giyuu for a moment, and then pulled up Sasuke's hair. The latter comfortably buried his face in his brother's arms, like a coquettish cat.
Last night, when Giyuu came in holding Sasuke with one hand, Itachi was still thinking about what happened after his father sent him to ANBU and was not asleep.
He originally thought that Giyuu wanted to tell him what happened yesterday, but who would have thought that he would go to bed immediately after he came in and put Sasuke down.
Itachi didn't understand Giyuu's purpose of doing this, he could only attribute it to his unique way of expressing his affection.
After all, in their family, most of Yiyong's behaviors are inexplicable, and he has become somewhat used to it.
"Brother, are we going to Theater No. 4 today?"
Sasuke was still upset about not being able to learn the Go fireball technique yesterday.
"No, starting from today, we will train at Uchiha's venue."
Itachi smiled slightly, "Uchiha Enhuo was punished by his father and will have to serve in the guard for the next month."
But what he didn't mention was that after sending away the medical ninja who was treating Giyu last night, he blocked Uchiha Fire, who also had little chakra left, on the way, and taught that man a lesson with exquisite shuriken techniques.
Guy got a meal.
Uchiha Fire, it is estimated that he will have to rest at home for three days before going to work in the police force.
When Sasuke heard that he no longer had to run so far, he shouted in surprise: "That's great! Then it doesn't matter if you go home late."
"Training requires a balance between work and rest, Sasuke."
Itachi lightly tapped Sasuke's forehead and changed his voice: "However, the only time I can train with you every day is the next month. It might be good to spend more time with you."
"Eh?"
Not only Sasuke, but also Giyuu looked up at Itachi with a questioning look, "Why is this?"
"I have promised my father that I will take the Chunin Exam in August."
Itachi said: "After I become a chuunin, I may go on missions outside of the Land of Fire."
"Then will you come back for a long time?"
Sasuke showed a pair of pitiful starry eyes.
Without my brother, life would be meaningless.
"I will try my best to complete the task as quickly as possible."
Itachi smiled and replied, "It's just that I can't be with you and Giyu every day."
"Isn't it dangerous if we go outside the village?"
The one who said this was naturally a righteous man.
Just from these words, Itachi could feel the difference between the two brothers.
Compared to Sasuke who just wants to be with him, Giyuu is more like an adult and cares about his safety first.
Yesterday, when he was spying on his father in the forest, he naturally heard Giyuu's long talk about why he didn't want to become a ninja.
No matter how you put it, for a child, the future of ninjas he described is a bit too realistic and desperate.
It is hard to imagine that this is what a person who has never been on the battlefield can say.
"Don't worry about my safety. My father will help me screen all tasks before they are assigned to me."
Itachi knew very well that most of the tasks he would perform in the future would be tasks related to the qualities required by ANBU ninjas, such as surveillance and assassination.
However, as long as it is a task that can be planned and laid out in advance, he is confident that it can be completed.
On the contrary, the encounters that may occur during border patrol missions may be a bit dangerous for his underdeveloped body.
"That's good."
Giyuu only believed half of Itachi's words.
He still couldn't forget the time when Itachi was eight years old and lost his teammates and returned home covered in blood.
As long as he leaves the village, the dangers he may encounter will increase exponentially.
Out of worry, he originally wanted to say, "Can I go with you?"...
But even with his weak common sense in the ninja world, he knew that neither the ninja rules nor his parents would allow this to happen.
But he had to do something for Itachi, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stay at home peacefully.
After thinking for a while, he lowered his head and said loudly: "Since you are going to take the Chunin Exam, do you want me to help you train?"
"Um?"
Sasuke and Itachi looked at him sharply.
The two of them, one saw it with his own eyes and the other heard Shisui's description, knew that this younger brother had the physical fitness to easily defeat the genin.
[He can react in time to the attacks of the two juniors without using Sharingan. 】
[And that sophisticated and crisp attack will never be possible unless it is someone who is well aware of the human body's weaknesses.]
Shisui's comments still lingered in Itachi's ears.
[From the perspective of taijutsu and ninjutsu, it is no exaggeration to say that Giyuu is a genius.]
[But his heart is a bit too soft. Even after defeating an opponent who was seven years older than him, he didn't feel any joy at all. Instead, he seemed very guilty. 】
"Are you really willing?"
Itachi looked into Giyuu's eyes, "I thought you didn't like these things related to ninjas."
"I don't like it, but I don't want anything to happen to you."
Yiyong's answer was quite direct, without any attempt to hide it.
Itachi's heart, which had gradually become cold due to the mission, seemed to be poked by the warm sunshine.
"Then it's up to you, Yiyong."
"Um."
"You two, don't exclude me. I also want to help my brother train."
Sasuke angrily stepped between the two of them.
In this way, for the next twenty days or so, the deepest part of the Uchiha training ground became the exclusive area for the three brothers.
In the morning, Itachi would teach Sasuke the techniques of Ninjutsu such as Three Body Technique, Go Fire Ball, Hosen Fire, etc., while Giyuu would sit no more than two meters away from the two of them to extract chakra.
Because it is close, they will go home for lunch at noon.
In order to speed up cooking, Giyuu learned the shadow clone technique from Itachi by seeing through the world, but with his chakra, he could separate up to four at a time. Itachi also judged Giyuu's chakra amount from this.
It should be just slightly less than him.
However, Itachi believed that once Giyuu's Shadow Clone was discovered by his father, it would probably attract his attention again, so he taught Giyuu the Water Clone Technique.
Although the water avatar cannot synchronize memory, has insufficient attack power, and cannot leave the main body for too long, it is fully capable of small tasks such as cooking.
The most important thing is that the water body part is especially chakra-saving.
In the afternoon, Itachi will create a shadow clone to teach Sasuke how to use swordsmanship, while the main body will fight in close combat with Giyuu using a wooden sword.
His own sword skills were learned from Shisui. To be honest, apart from being extremely fast, the gap between Ninja sword skills is not that big.
But when fighting Giyuu, he gradually discovered that Giyuu's attack method did not belong to the ninja swordsmanship nor the swordsmanship of the Iron Kingdom warriors.
On the contrary, it is a fighting method used to fight something that is stronger than oneself, similar to a monster, so the range of movements is extremely exaggerated. In a righteous slash, each sword will mobilize the strength of the whole body, leaving no room at all.
For example, moves such as crossing the water wheel, twisting the vortex, and turning around are all accompanied by acrobatic and difficult body movements.
To be honest, it really has the flavor of a child's imaginary swordsmanship. Itachi also defined the sword shape of Breath of Water in this way.
Without the use of chakra, Uchiha Itachi thought it would be impossible to complete those difficult actions in a very short time, but Giyuu could.
This kind of swordsmanship, which is completely flawed for ninjas, seems to be natural in the hands of Yiyu, with almost no weaknesses.
And after a complete set, Yiyong's breathing will not be disturbed. In other words, if Yiyong's swordsmanship is not matched with his unique breathing, it will be almost impossible to copy.
But when Uchiha Itachi really started to use the Sharingan to imitate Giyuu's breathing, he felt a strange force eroding his chakra, so he immediately stopped.
"Either, when you use water breathing, don't create chakra."
Yiyong said to him, "Either make sure that the power brought by breathing from the outside world can be mixed with physical energy and mental energy in a balanced proportion. But that requires at least constant concentration."
Therefore, after dinner every night, Itachi had another task, which was to learn water breathing, the kind that does not involve chakra, under the watchful eyes of Giyuu.
When he discovered that he could instantly improve his physical fitness and control while breathing, Itachi immediately understood the value of the breathing method in critical moments, so he practiced it extremely seriously.
Once he encounters a situation of insufficient chakra, he can completely rely on breathing techniques to fight the enemy.
Because the full concentration and breathing method comprehensively strengthens the body at zero time, it is faster and more convenient than using chakra to activate the body, eliminating many troublesome processes and unnecessary losses in energy conversion.
It took him about a week to finally master the first nine sword styles in the complete collection of "Breath of Water", which was many times faster than the heroic hero in his previous life.
As for the Ten Types: Transformation of Life and Life, which requires extremely high physical fitness, he can't do it yet.
As for the eleven type Nagi, it can only be used after reaching the normal level.
The day before Itachi was to take the chunin exam, Giyuu said to him: "The breath of water is the sword technique of protection. I hope you can rely on it to protect yourself, but try not to hurt innocent people. Is that okay?"
There is no Demon Slayer Squad in this world, and since Itachi is a family member, Giyuu can teach him the breathing technique with peace of mind.
But after all, this is a sword technique created to protect people from being harmed by ghosts. Yiyong still hopes that it will do less killing.
"I'll remember that."
Itachi lowered his head and put his forehead against Giyuu's, "Thank you, Giyuu."
Although it's a bit bad to say this.
But during the more than twenty days of training with Giyu, Itachi's progress in physical skills was much greater than when he was training with Shisui.
Many times, he even suspected that Yiyong had something similar to the Byakugan, which could easily see through the flow of breath inside his body, making his training more effective with half the effort.
After learning the breathing technique, Itachi also successfully made up for his lack of strength.
At this point, he finally felt that he had reached the threshold of "all-powerful ninja". There was no longer any suspense in the Chuunin exam, which was already a sure success.
the next day.
Itachi's chunin exams were held in Sunagakure Village, and it took about a month to complete all three exams.
Without his brother to accompany him, Sasuke seemed a little depressed, and he had no energy when he went to train with Yiyu.
Considering that his mother and the team she led also went to take the exam, Giyuu was not worried about Itachi's safety, but it was a pity that the flame breathing resolution, which had been growing rapidly, might have slowed down.
For more than twenty days, the three brothers stayed together for about twenty-two hours a day. In addition, Itachi and Sasuke also had to train fire escape ninjutsu, which made the resolution of the breath of fire increase at a rate of at least 0.8% every day.
A sudden increase, and now the progress has reached a terrifying 36%.
But without Weasel in the next month, it will be extremely difficult to refresh the resolution at the same speed.
[Are you saying that you have to go to work with your father? 】
Just as this absurd idea came to Yiyong's mind, he heard a crisp ringing sound.
He followed the sound and found three people looking awkwardly at the transparent silk thread at their feet. They were the three genin who came to trouble with Uchiha En that day.
"It's you again?!"
Sasuke was a little panicked at first, but when he saw Giyuu standing aside expressionlessly, his expression immediately returned to normal.
"Are you here to steal the place? You won't forget the result of disturbing us last time, right?"
"Please don't get me wrong."
These three genin all look handsome, with thin lips and sharp eyes that are typical of Uchiha, but they seem very gentle at this moment.
The leader stepped over the warning bell set by Weasel, touched his nose and said, "Actually, we are here to say thank you."
"thank?"
Sasuke asked in confusion: "Who are you thanking? Why are you thanking me?"
"Of course thank you for not telling anyone what happened that day for so long and saving our face."
Another person spoke, looking a little ashamed.
He faced the righteous man and said, "When we went to the hospital for treatment, the doctor also said that you should have been merciful and controlled your strength, so that we would not be seriously injured. This is another thing we have to be grateful for."
Giyong remembered him as the genin who was about to tie him up with a rope.
He bowed to Yiyong quite solemnly, "Besides, you are really powerful."
The other two people also nodded.
At the end of that day, Uchiha Enhuo was first severely beaten, and then sent to the guard team. And the three of them have been living in the shameful incident of being exposed that "three versus two lost to a five-year-old child"
in fear.
The Uchiha clan is a united clan. Once a clan member is targeted by an outsider, they will respond unanimously, regardless of whether the other party is reasonable or not.
But they are also a mean tribe. For those losers and weaklings in the tribe, the Uchiha tribe will never give up the opportunity to laugh at them (and under the banner of opening your eyes).
These three genin hid at home for a full week, and only then came back to life after confirming that there were no adverse rumors related to them.
At this time, they remembered that the patriarch's son who had beaten them violently before seemed to have said that he would keep it a secret for them.
Therefore, out of gratitude for Yiyong's generosity and recognition of his strength, the three of them have always wanted to find an opportunity to express their gratitude in person.
But during this period of time, the three brothers were inseparable at the training ground.
Although Uchiha Flame never said who beat him like that, three genin could probably guess that the person was definitely Uchiha Itachi.
It wasn't until today, when Uchiha Itachi went to take the Chunin Exam, that they found the courage to say thank you.
"This is a little gift."
The leading genin waved, and the one at the back immediately took out a high-end confectionery gift box from Kanurigan (name of Konoha confectionery store) from behind.
"For you and your brother..."
"I am the brother!"
Sasuke yelled, seemingly unconvinced, but his eyes were looking at the pattern on the snack box.
After seeing that it was the flavor he liked, Sasuke asked: "Giyu, do you want to accept this gift?"
"This costs hundreds of thousands."
Yiyong is in charge of cooking and is the richest child in the family. Of course he can see the value of the snacks, "It's so expensive."
"This is the money we saved from doing tasks during this period."
The leading genin said, "If you don't dislike it, please accept our wishes."
Seeing that the three people and Sasuke were looking at him sincerely, Giyuu took the gift box.
The next moment, the prompt sounded again.
[Have become friends with Uchiha Cui, Uchiha Fumi, and Uchiha Gan, and can obtain resolution. 】
Giyuu was stunned for a moment, stuffed the snack box into Sasuke's hand, and then suddenly invited the three of them: "Do you want to train with me and Sasuke?"
In this way, even though Itachi Uchiha was not around, the resolution of the breath of fire still maintained a rapid growth trend. When Itachi came back, the speed increased again.
It was not until four months later, on New Year's Eve, that Giyuu Uchiha finally fully understood the Breath of Fire.
The only thing left to resurrecting the Flame Pillar and Purgatory Anjuro is to practice the breath of flame to the point of normality.
