Chapter 18 Obtaining Weapons

[Giyuu's impression of others so far]

Uchiha Itachi: He has a lot on his mind, likes to keep secrets and is on guard against his father. I don't really want him to enter the kitchen.

Uchiha Sasuke: As long as he can eat, he is very happy around Itachi and me. He likes to be praised.

Uchiha Fugaku: He always seems to want to force others to do something. Very strong.

Uchiha Mikoto: A jonin who can't even tread water and may be exposed by the village at any time. Always reminds me of my sister.

Uchiha Shisui: Likes to bring gifts to Sasuke, a good person. As strong as his father.

Hatake Kakashi: Not very serious. Very bad impression.

Uzumaki Naruto: A very optimistic child with huge energy lurking in his body. He looks like the Fourth Hokage in the photo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: An irresponsible old man.

Uchiha Enka: A somewhat impulsive child.

[Other people's impression of Giyuu so far]

Uchiha Sasuke: A combination of his mother and brother, likes to take care of people. It makes me feel very sad when he cries. Although he is very powerful, I can't be jealous.

Uchiha Itachi: He has a rich imagination and may have some potential mental problems. When he is silent, I feel that he is the older brother.

Uchiha Fugaku: He is more talented than Itachi and has excellent physical fitness. If he is well trained, he is the hope for the clan to restore its former glory.

Uchiha Mikoto: A taciturn, gentle and good child, who lives in an awkward way and lacks common sense. Recently, there has been a trend of improvement, and I hope it can be maintained.

Shisui: A genius child with the destructive power of a jonin. He has a soft heart, which is very similar to me.

Kakashi: He is destined to be a child who cannot help himself. My ninja dog does not like him.

Uzumaki Naruto: The only friend of the same age, I want to meet him often. I hope to see Giyuu's smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: He cares too much about the feelings of others and is easy to lead. He is a tool to contain and influence Uchiha Itachi in the future.

Uchiha Enka: A little scared (of his brother).

…

Three days passed in a flash.

Thanks to the sudden intimacy of Giyuu's way of addressing his family and his promise to go to the ninja school, Uchiha Fugaku rarely put away his bitter face with drooping corners of his mouth and spent three days with his family with a smile.

For this, Uchiha Fugaku specially praised Uchiha Itachi. He thought that Giyuu agreed to go to school because of Itachi's persuasion.

Although the latter was a little confused, he did not understand the real reason and just thought that Giyuu did it out of consideration for him.

After the New Year, Uchiha Shisui came again, but this time he was not here to eat.

When he "heard" that Giyuu was going to school, he immediately volunteered to help Giyuu with three months of pre-school special training until the ninja school started. In his words, he also wanted to compete with Itachi to see who was better at taking care of children.

However, he had a condition. Giyuu's training time was not as long as Sasuke's, so if he wanted to catch up with the progress, it would be best for Giyuu to live with him.

Uchiha Fugaku was overjoyed and agreed on the spot. He asked Giyuu and Shisui to stay for a while to concentrate on training and not to worry about family affairs. As for Sasuke, he went to the Security Department with him to "study" during this period to cope with the written test for admission, which finally resolved Sasuke's dissatisfaction with the separation from his brother.

But from beginning to end, only Shisui, Itachi and Giyuu knew the real purpose of Giyuu leaving home.

At this time, the three had arrived at Shisui's hut behind the Nanga River. It was a mountain stream with a high waterfall, with steep cliffs on both sides, and the Nanga River flowed through here. This place is already outside the wood industry barrier.

In the mountain stream, the waterfall that falls straight down is not affected by the cold winter. When it falls, it rises with bursts of mist and is accompanied by dense drum-like accompaniment.

A simple hut was built next to the reservoir just below the waterfall.

"This is where the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama taught my grandfather Uchiha Kagami Water Style Ninjutsu.

"He was once a disciple of the Second Hokage, and also a Hokage guard that the Second Hokage could entrust his life to. Facts have proved that he did not live up to this trust."

Uchiha Shisui led the two to the edge of the waterfall, and introduced this rarely visited Feng Shui treasure land in a serious manner.

This is the territory of the Uchiha, so outsiders will not come here; and most of the people in the clan practice fire style ninjutsu, so they don't come here very often, which is just right for Giyuu to stay here temporarily.

"My father often said when he was alive that when my grandfather was still alive, that was the time when our Uchiha clan was closest to the Hokage.

"But with the sacrifice of my grandfather, there was no bridge of communication and mediator between each other, and the relationship between the clan and the village became worse and worse."

Giyuu just listened, his face was normal.

He just liked the feeling this place gave him.

When running Water Breathing·Changzhong here, the efficiency of natural energy in strengthening the body is one-half higher than usual.

But before, whether in the artificially dug Konoha River or near the big lake of the Uchiha training ground, Giyuu had never had a similar feeling.

[Is it because of the natural water source? ]

He began to ponder this question.

Uchiha Itachi, who was standing by, listened carefully to Shisui's speech, revealing his usual thoughtful expression.

This was the first time that Shisui took the initiative to tell him about his family.

"Itachi, can you guess why my father named me Shisui?"

He turned his head to Itachi's direction, casting a sincere smile under his long eyelashes.

"I think uncle... should hope that you will inherit the legacy of Senior Kagami."

Uchiha Itachi stood still with respect, "The so-called 'Shisui Mirror' refers to the human heart, which can reflect the world outside the heart like the calm surface of water without any stance or prejudice. My uncle gave you this name. , I hope you can transcend Uchiha's position and look at the relationship between the village and Uchiha without distortion and objectively like Kagami-senpai... Am I right?"

"As expected of Itachi, he can think so profoundly at once."

Zhisui's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, "But you only mentioned the deeper reason. Sometimes you can think more simply and superficially..."

"Well……"

Itachi blinked and shook his head honestly.

"I really can't think of the second one."

"It's actually very simple. The second meaning is that my father hopes that I can inherit the Water Release Ninjutsu that the Second Hokage is most proud of like my grandfather did."

After Zhisui gave the correct answer, he shrugged helplessly.

"It's a pity that like most of the tribe, I was born without water attribute chakara, and there is no result in developing changes in nature. At most, I can only use the geographical advantage to use some functional water escape ninjutsu. As for the development of the Second Hokage Those powerful water escapes seem a bit useless to me.

"However, just when I thought that my grandfather's inheritance was about to be cut off, a water-bending genius that had never been seen in Uchiha suddenly appeared."

At this point, Zhisui stopped talking.

He walked to the stone lamp at the door of the hut, pressed the top of the stone lamp and twisted it slightly, then lifted the upper part of it.

Only then did Uchiha Itachi discover that the lower part of the stone lamp was hollow, with a long tube inside.

"this is……"

He watched the thing being taken out by Shisui and had a bold guess in his mind.

"That's what you think."

Zhisui nodded solemnly, opened the bamboo tube, and the scroll inside fell into his hands, with a rather complicated seal painted on it.

"This is the summary of the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama's lifelong study of water escape, and every water escape ninjutsu he created is recorded on this scroll. The ones kept in the village are just its backup. There is a lot less explanation and annotation done by the second generation.”

He looked past Itachi, who was slightly dazed, and towards Giyuu, who still didn't know what this meant.

"Shisui, this kind of thing..."

Uchiha Itachi saw what he was thinking and quickly spoke out to dissuade him.

He understood the value of this thing, not just as a source of power that all ninjas longed for.

It was also Shisui's family heirloom, proof that the village and the Uchiha had their own honeymoon period. After all, who would have thought that the Second Hokage, who was hated by his clan to this day, would actually pass on his special ninjutsu to an Uchiha?

"I just took it out to show you off."

Shisui stopped Itachi in an understatement, and then explained: "Last time when Giyuu and Uchiha Enhuo fought, didn't he hurt his hand due to excessive accumulation of chakra? There is a ninjutsu in it. , this situation should be avoided...

"It's just that I can't use this technique myself, so I simply didn't learn it."

As he spoke, he unfolded the scroll and quickly searched it with his eyes, finally settling on a ninjutsu called Water Release and Water Blade Slash.

(This ninjutsu comes from the game "Naruto: Ultimate Storm" and is not in the comics and TV.)

Itachi carefully looked at the label written by Senju Tobirama himself and immediately understood the function of this ninjutsu.

Similar to Wind Release: Vacuum Blade and Uchiha Style: Sword Jump Flame, Water Release: Water Blade Slash is a ninja that spits water attribute chakra onto kunai or other weapons, condensing it into a lengthened blade to increase the attack distance of the weapon. and power, very suitable for water escape ninjas who are proficient in sword skills.

However, this jutsu seems simple, but because it involves a considerable degree of change in Chak's form, it is a B-level ninjutsu that can only be mastered by a jounin.

"No wonder I've never seen anyone else use it in Konoha..."

As far as Itachi knew, the ninjas who were good at swordsmanship and water escape should all be in Kirigakure.

In Konoha, the only such ninjas are the Second Hokage himself and a senior named Kosuke Maruhoshi.

"But how long will it take for Yiyong to learn this technique?"

Itachi felt that Shisui was a little too whimsical.

"His ninjutsu foundation is only a little bit, and he has never even trained in the joint seal."

"You'll know if you try it. Yiyong is a child who can imagine a 'secret' technique like breathing. Maybe he can master it just by looking at it."

Shisui could see clearly, and stretched out his hand to call Giyuu over, and completely spread out the scroll that the Second Hokage personally annotated in front of him.

【So many words...】

After a cursory scan, Giyuu saw no fewer than twenty independent water release ninjutsus, all of which were originally created by the Second Hokage himself. He even proudly put his seal on them.

And those water escape ninjutsu that he had before have also undergone various transformations.

Among them, the one that Giyuu is familiar with, such as the water body Itachi taught him, has no less than five changes -

There are water clones that turn into oil, water clones that turn into glue (jelly), water clones that look transparent but actually hide detonating charms, water clones that can be used at super long distances, and even water clones that are made entirely of venom.

Yiyong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

[If such a person were to become a water pillar, then the sword shape of the breath of water should be more than the breath of the moon, which is one of the upper chords. 】

"Giyuu, have you seen any ninjutsu you like?"

It was rare for Shisui and Itachi to see Giyuu interested in ninjutsu.

Sure enough, it was not the strength that attracted children to become ninjas, but the fact that they could learn fancy and interesting ninjutsu?

"I'm just taking a look."

Giyuu retracted his gaze.

He had just taken a general look and had some idea of ​​what water-style ninjutsu could do.

"Don't be so shy?"

Shisui pulled Giyuu back and pointed to the entry for water-style ninjutsu: Water Blade Slash and said, "Let's see if you can learn this technique first. Others use weapons, but you concentrate your chakra on your hands. This is a natural disadvantage."

Giyuu cast his eyes upward.

But as Itachi expected, the large number of professional terms arranged in the entry by Senju Tobirama made Giyuu very confused.

He could use the water clone and shadow clone because he had a large amount of chakra and did not involve any changes in form, but this technique required water to form a blade while maintaining a stable form and flow, which was quite complicated.

"Do you know how to do it?"

After watching for a while, Giyuu asked Shisui simply, "If you know how to do it, do it once and I'll know how to do it."

With the transparent world, he didn't need to understand the principles of ninjutsu. As long as he knew the chakra meridians and acupoints that the chakra passed through when using this ninjutsu, Giyuu could "copy" it intact.

"?"

Shisui and Itachi exchanged a puzzled look above Giyuu's head.

Then Itachi seemed to remember something, nodded and said, "Let me try. When I taught Giyuu the water clone, he learned it after just one look."

Then, without delay, he immediately made a seal according to the instructions on the scroll.

However, Itachi had only recently begun to master the changes in the nature of water attributes, so he failed the first few times.

During this period, Giyuu stayed motionless, staring at the meridians of his body as if he wanted to see through Itachi. Follow him to familiarize yourself with the operation and preparation of this technique.

About ten minutes later, Itachi's brows were filled with confidence. His hands flew and formed seals quickly. He puffed up his cheeks and took out a kunai, spitting a mouthful of water on it.

The water flow seemed to surround the kunai consciously, and it was about to spread and collapse several times, but under Itachi's careful control of the three-magatama Sharingan, the water flow finally gathered into a beam, turning into a clear and transparent, but constantly flowing blade, which was neatly grafted onto the kunai, about twenty centimeters long.

"Success."

Shisui patted Itachi's shoulder excitedly, "You are worthy of it."

B-level ninjutsu, which one is not mastered by ordinary jonin after hundreds or thousands of failed studies, but Uchiha Itachi did it in just ten minutes. Although this is to a certain extent the effect of the insight function of the Sharingan, it cannot be denied that Uchiha Itachi's subtle mastery of chakra has long reached the standard of jonin.

He is only ten and a half years old now.

But Itachi did not feel proud, he was used to learning ninjutsu quickly. He was more concerned about how Giyuu could learn this B-level ninjutsu.

"Giyuu, can you do it?"

Without him saying anything, the moment Giyuu saw that he succeeded, he immediately mobilized the chakra formed by the three forces in his body to run according to the established meridians and acupoints.

He didn't need to make a seal to guide the chakra, but just stretched out the middle finger and index finger of his right hand, and the waterfall immediately separated a stream of sharp water that wrapped around it, and then gradually extended in a few seconds, and completed its shape, turning into a katana that seemed to grow directly from Giyuu's hand.

"I suspect he actually has the Byakugan."

Shisui said something incredible, but it was infinitely close to reality.

Things didn't end here.

As the shape of the knife in Giyuu's mind gradually became clear, the bottom of the water blade, which was right next to Giyuu's fingers, suddenly emerged with a few large characters like engravings-

Evil Devil Slayer.

At this point, Giyuu finally had a handy weapon.
