Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Gu Mu's words made Danzo blush, but thankfully, there was no one around.

Otherwise, this would be a complete black mark on history.

Chapter 19 Why wasn't I hungry? Of course, it's because I had an all-you-can-eat dog food!

In the small woods on the back mountain.

Looking at Danzo, who was eager to learn, Gu Mu spoke softly:

"Wind Release emphasizes speed and agility."

"Danzo, show me your strongest Wind Release ninjutsu."

Danzo Shimura was somewhat surprised that the ancient tree in front of him called him by his name.

Is this a tacit approval of him?

"Then be careful."

Danzo Shimura reminded everyone to quickly form hand seals.

"Wind Release: Sky-Slicing Wave!!"

In an instant, a huge wind blade appeared from Danzo's hand. This level of ninjutsu could seriously injure an ordinary genin if they were not careful.

"Crack!"

Just as they were about to touch the ancient wood, they heard the sound of a wooden sword being drawn from its sheath in the air.

Subsequently, the wind blade was easily severed by the ancient wood. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the ancient wood's wooden blade was wrapped with silk-like wind energy.

"The intensity is not enough. Next time, use ninjutsu with increased chakra."

"Until you can break the wooden sword in my hand."

"Is that so?"

Danzo was somewhat speechless, as he hadn't even managed to break the old wooden sword.

However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that ninjutsu had this kind of technique.

Danzo will surely understand this technique in the future; the ancient tree merely allowed him to know it in advance.

And so, we chatted aimlessly all afternoon, until it was almost evening.

"My son, can you feel any improvement in your strength?"

"Ancient trees..."

"Ok?"

Faced with Gu Mu's questioning gaze, Danzo felt a cold sweat trickle down his forehead, but he had indeed learned something today.

Not much though.

"Cough cough... Godfather... Thank you."

"It's nothing. You're living the life of a pampered young master. Your elders must hold a high position in the clan, right?"

The ancient tree, leaning against the trees, finally revealed its true colors.

"Gu... Where is my godfather? By the way, I don't even know his surname or family name."

Danzo suppressed his inner frustration and asked, thankfully there was no one else around.

As long as no one knows that he once called Koki his adoptive father, he is still the genius Danzo.

"I?"

“I am just a commoner, and I have a son. Why are you changing the subject? Is your elder the clan chief?”

"Clan leader?"

Danzo's eyes narrowed when he heard the word, and he breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that no one was around.

“My elders are not the clan leaders, and their status in the family is not high.”

Although Danzo didn't know what Koki wanted to do, he wouldn't easily reveal his identity and background.

"You're not in a high position, why are you so nervous?"

"Do you intend to seize power?"

Upon hearing the words "seize power," Koki keenly sensed that Danzo's breathing became slightly more rapid in an instant.

"Godfather, please don't joke around, especially don't spread rumors outside. I can't withstand the pressure."

Danzo gave a wry smile.

"Then when will you take me to meet your brothers? After all, I am your godfather."

Gu Mu's joking words really annoyed Danzo.

However, he couldn't beat Gu Mu and could only suffer in silence.

"Next time, when I have time next time."

"Alright then, that's enough for today. Let's set a time another day, and I'll teach you how to imbue your weapon with wind magic."

Upon hearing Gu Mu's words, Danzo's eyes lit up instantly.

If he had such a method, would he also be able to use the unpredictable wind-style slashes like those of the ancient tree?

Without a doubt, this is impossible.

Gu Mu used his exclusive secret technique, the Draw Sword Slash, not some kind of Wind Release.

"Godfather, take care~ I'll practice a little longer."

Under Danzo's watchful gaze, the figure of the ancient tree gradually disappeared.

In a deserted place, Gu Mu was certain no one was watching him, and his smiling expression instantly turned cold.

Danzo was indeed cautious, but he still managed to extract some crucial information from him.

His immediate family members, seeing Danzo's talent, were probably already planning to seize power.

As for this opportunity, he was the one who added fuel to the fire.

By the time Gu Mu instantly used Flying Thunder God Technique and arrived at the roof of the courtyard, the sky had almost completely darkened.

As for why the rooftop was chosen as the marking location for the Flying Thunder God technique, it's because this location allows for an instant and clear perception of the entire courtyard.

For example, right now, Gu Mu has already seen that Uchiha Shizuru is sitting under a big tree in the courtyard, looking somewhat dazed.

"Idiot, what are you thinking about?"

With a leap, Gu Mu appeared behind Uchiha Shizuru.

"Hey? You're back."

Uchiha Shizuru's previously somewhat vacant eyes instantly lit up upon hearing Koki's voice.

[Uchiha Shizumizu is satisfied... Harvesting 200 Emotion Points, current Emotion Points: 1400]

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's alright. With Yingliu-jie's help and guidance, I feel much more relaxed. And Yingliu-jie is really amazing."

Uchiha Shizumi's eyes held a hint of envy.

If she were as powerful as Yingliu, that tragedy would never have happened.

"It's my fault, if only I had done it sooner..."

Before Gu Mu could finish speaking, Uchiha Shizuku waved his hand to interrupt him.

"It's alright, Gu Mu. I'm glad you're here."

Uchiha Shizumizu pursed her lips slightly, as if she had remembered something: "Oh right, I'm going to school tomorrow too. I've decided, I want to become as strong as Hotaru-nee."

"Okay, but let's eat first. Look at you, you've gotten so thin."

Gu Mu patted Uchiha Shizumi's little head. This was the time when she was growing, and he didn't want Uchiha Shizumi to be unable to feed her child in the future.

"I know, I know."

Uchiha Shizumi lowered her head slightly, her pretty face blushing. Of course, she knew why Koki would say that.

In his past life, he liked big things; I really don't know if I'll be able to satisfy him in the future.

"Oh my, you two, are you done talking?"

Senju Hotaru, who had prepared dinner, watched as Koki and Uchiha Shizumi entered together, a maternal smile playing on her lips.

"Sister Yingliu, don't talk nonsense. We have a legitimate relationship."

[Uchiha Shizuru is dissatisfied... 100 emotional points harvested]

Just as he finished speaking, the system's notification made Gu Mu turn his head in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Uchiha Shizuru's lips twitch slightly.

This guy is 90% suspicious.

"Let's eat first, we've got some good stuff tonight."

Koki and Uchiha Shizumi sat at the dining table.
