Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Is it really such a happy thing to not be able to be a ninja?

But that genuine smile couldn't be faked, meaning Qing Shui hadn't done anything wrong.

Asuma slowly crumpled the Will of Fire test paper in his hand into a ball, stared intently at Qingshui, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and his eyes hardened.

He has decided to find a suitable opportunity to ask Qing Shui in person what exactly the Will of Fire is.

Compared to the hypocritical and uncomfortable scenes he heard and witnessed at home, he trusted Qingshui, who made his friends and classmates smile, more.

"You brat, I asked you to help him, not to tell him to quit being a ninja." Tobirama Senju frowned, seemingly somewhat displeased.

"What's the point? To go and die as a ninja?"

Qingshui shook his head and slowly said, "A student with such poor talent that he can barely master the Three Body Techniques would be lucky to reach the Chunin level in his life, even if he puts in 120% effort. The more likely scenario is that he will remain a Genin for life."

“If war comes in a few years, people like him will be cannon fodder, and their remains will be lost on the battlefield.”

"Do you think Konoha is lacking a cannon fodder, or a shop owner who makes really delicious three-colored dumplings, Tobirama?"

Tobirama Senju was taken aback; he hadn't considered that possibility.

But upon closer examination, he felt that what Qingshui said made sense, but something seemed a little off...

Tobirama Senju was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Perhaps, you did the right thing."

“Learn from me properly, Tobirama.” Aoshi shrugged. “Of course I’m right. Otherwise, how could you, with a zero score, be right?”

"Evil Uchiha brat!"

"It's delicious, Qingshui! Your cooking is really good!"

At Qing Shui's dinner table, Matt, with his chopsticks and spatula, launched a youthful attack on the abundant meat, eating with great relish.

In no time, he had already eaten eight bowls of rice.

Although Qing Shui ate in a more refined manner, his appetite was in no way inferior to that of Might Guy.

In fact, a ninja's strength can be partly judged by their appetite. A ninja who can fight may not be able to eat a lot, but a ninja who cannot eat a lot is basically not able to fight.

If you can't even eat, how can you have the strength to hit someone?

Matt Day watched his son devour his food with a smile, his eyes filled with sadness, gratitude, and shyness.

Compared to Might Guy, who is still a child, Might Day, although he always shouts about youth, is also a mentally normal adult.

The food laid out on the table included almost everything, from red meat to white meat, from chicken, duck, fish, and goose to medicinal cuisine, and the nutritional balance seemed to have been meticulously calculated.

To put it bluntly, this is probably the best food the Hokage's family eats.

Only then did Matt Dai understand what Qing Shui meant by "free meals and accommodation," and what kind of treatment it actually entailed...

"Uncle Dai, start eating! Why are you just staring?"

Just as Matt Dai was silently watching, waiting for Qing Shui and Shi Shui to eat first, Qing Shui smiled and placed a large bowl of beef in front of him, and then handed him a bowl of rice:

"If you don't eat your fill, you'll accumulate fatigue and suffer hidden injuries during your cultivation. I'll have to continue to treat you. You trust me that much, Uncle Dai?"

"Don't be shy. You need to be well-fed to have the strength to help us guard the house. This is all the treatment we agreed on beforehand."

Matt Day stared blankly at Qing Shui, who seemed to be blaming him, and smelled the aroma of beef wafting from him, momentarily lost in thought.

For the first time, Might Guy, who had struggled in Konoha for decades and had never been taken seriously, felt genuine respect and warmth from others.

However, Qing Shui is an Uchiha...

"Uchiha, so what if they're Uchiha?"

Might Guy took a deep breath, nodded heavily to Qing Shui, picked up the rib that Might Guy had his eye on, precisely grabbed it before him, and started chewing it.

"Father!"

"Kai, eating is also a form of cultivation! If you don't treat Qingshui-kun's food with a youthful spirit, then you're committing a sin!" Might Guy laughed and gave Qingshui a thumbs up.

"Don't worry, Qingshui-kun, I will definitely be a good protector of the Qingshui family!" Might emphasized the words "Qingshui family".

"I've always believed in you, Uncle Dai." Qing Shui smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Qingshui didn't mind at all that Mighty and Mighty ate a lot; on the contrary, the more they ate, the better.

Might Guy and Might Dai, who didn't have many resources growing up, had their hidden injuries repaired and were well-fed at Aozumi's. When they finally blossomed in their youth, they wouldn't just be able to kill the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist or cripple half of Madara Uchiha's body...

Anyway, it definitely couldn't have been Qingshui who kicked it.

A few dozen tons of meat is practically free compared to Night Guy's power. No one in Konoha was willing to take on this round of angel investment, so Qing Shui certainly wouldn't let it go.

Shisui, watching this scene, snorted coldly. Although he felt that his family did not need a guard, as a proper younger brother, he would not question his older brother's decision.

but!

Shisui was determined to eat more food than everyone else when his brother cooked it!

Shisui Haku's face turned red and his neck thickened as he stared intently at Might Guy, determined to eat even more than this glutton!

"Alright, Kai!"

After finishing his meal, Matt Dai jumped up full of energy: "The current training is to wash the dishes clean in three minutes, then mop the floor three times, and finally sweep the courtyard spotless!"

"Oh! I understand, Father!"

"By the way, Aokiji, Kakashi told me today that if you want to spar with him, go to Training Ground Number One in the village this weekend. He'll be waiting for you there."

Matt Kai scratched his head sheepishly; the food was so delicious that he had forgotten his friend's message.

After saying that, Matt Kai hurriedly started clearing away the dishes and followed Matt Dai, who had already begun washing the dishes, to do the housework.

"Hey, I used to wash all the dishes at home!" Zhi Shui slammed his hand on the table. "No way, I'm washing the dishes too!"

Qing Shui smiled as he watched the three people vying to wash the dishes, his eyes narrowing.

Kakashi challenged him to a sparring match. What does this mean? Is it a challenge from a genius...?

As Tobirama Senju watched this heartwarming scene, his gaze became somewhat complicated.

He wondered how Tsunade, now all alone, was doing.

Second update complete--

Today I was caught writing a novel by my colleague.

Luckily, I was quick-witted: "Bro, I can't write a single novel!"

But thinking about it carefully, what he said makes sense. I could never write a novel!

Orz…

Chapter 41: First Meeting with Sakumo Hatake, Challenging Aozumi's Card

Cassie

Konoha's Training Ground No. 1.

A sharp glint of light flashed across the arena as Kakashi, wielding a short blade, trained with his father, Sakumo Hatake.

Sakumo Hatake nodded slightly, deftly deflecting Kakashi's blade with his White Fang, and said with a smile:

"Your mind is a bit scattered; you need to focus..."

Kakashi was startled.

No sooner had he finished speaking than White Fang's blade was placed against his neck, sending a chill down his spine.

"Kakashi, don't worry about being called a genius. Although you are my son, Hatake Sakumo, you have already done more than enough." Hatake Sakumo deftly retracted his White Fang, ruffled Kakashi's hair, and said softly:

"In the ninja world, there are always some exceptionally talented individuals who cannot be simply described as geniuses. For example, the First Hokage, Madara Uchiha, and the Second Hokage were also like that."

Kakashi stubbornly raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Father, do you think Uchiha Aokiji has talent comparable to the Second Hokage? The village has mentioned that his Water Release seems to be very similar to the Second Hokage's."

After Might Guy became a bodyguard for the Aozumi family, Might Guy, who used to pester Kakashi to duel him, disappeared.

Obito, who had awakened his Sharingan, stopped looking for him and instead immersed himself in Setsuna Uchiha's private training.

The aloof genius, after suddenly losing the harassment of two underachievers, felt a strange unease.

After Qing Shui demonstrated some of his strength, the village started talking about the boring but hot topic of "the number one genius" again.

In the dead of night, Kakashi was also pondering who was stronger, him or Qingshui.

Sometimes he would consider Aokiji's age, but Kakashi, with his pride that he was the strongest among his peers, still believed that as the son of Hatake Sakumo, he was still the strongest among his peers.

Therefore, Kakashi extended an invitation to Aoshimi to spar, and even invited his father to watch the match today.

Kakashi knew that his father possessed eyes far beyond those of ordinary people, capable of seeing the inner potential of a ninja…

Sakumo Hatake stared at his son and slowly shook his head.

"Kakashi, it doesn't matter whether Uchiha Aokiji's talent is stronger than yours. What matters is that you learn to understand your own heart, not be disturbed by external things, and focus on your own training."

“Practicing ninjutsu and swordsmanship requires a state of complete focus. When you are burdened by reputation and the words of others, your sword will become dull, and your mind will not be at peace. If this happens, problems will arise in the future.”

Seeing Kakashi's confused expression, Hatake Sakumo laughed heartily:

"These are principles passed down from our ancestors when they were samurai. Even I, your father, am not entirely able to follow them..."

"Let's do our best together, Kakashi!"

Qingshui, who had just arrived at Training Ground No. 1, carrying Muramasa, happened to overhear these words, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

Didn't Sakumo Hatake explain things quite clearly when he was educating his son?

How well said: to focus on oneself without being distracted by external things...

Why do I become so despondent when it's my turn?

However, it's only human nature... How can you know the pain if it doesn't happen to you?

"Good morning, Kakashi-kun and Sakumo-san."

Qingshui slowly walked to the side of the Hatake father and son. He first nodded and greeted Kakashi, and then greeted Hatake Sakumo generously, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Sakumo Hatake is a man with a touch of mystery.

Despite his immense reputation, Qing Shui was unaware of his fighting style. After all, in his original timeline, he lived on in the tales of others, but had never actually fought him himself…

But after just one glance, Aoshui was certain that Hatake Sakumo was definitely very strong.
