Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 44: Confinement Ends

A month later.

"Uchiha Chiga, your confinement is over!"

After saying a word to Chiga, the ANBU member vanished in a flash.

Upon hearing this, Chiga, who was in the room, showed a look of joy on her previously irritated face.

He overestimated himself, thinking that his past life as a homebody would make it easy for him to get through a month of confinement.

A world without cell phones and computers is really boring.

For a month, Chiga was not allowed to leave the house, communicate with anyone, or be visited by anyone. He was completely alone. If it weren't for the three sealing ninjutsu that Kushina gave him to learn, Chiga really wouldn't have been able to stand it.

It seems that Kushina had experience with confinement, and that's exactly what she wanted. That's why she gave Chiga three sealing ninjutsu before leaving, so that Chiga could immerse himself in learning ninjutsu and forget the boredom of confinement.

Chiga pushed open the door, looked up at the bright sky, and her mood instantly improved.

Just as Chiga was about to go out for a walk, Shisui walked over from a distance. Upon seeing Chiga, he immediately jogged over to her side.

"Uncle, your confinement is over!"

"It's still water!"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Shisui, Chika's face showed a look of relief.

This nephew is good; he came to visit him as soon as his confinement ended.

Unlike Obito, who, after learning he was in solitary confinement, went on a rampage, making the whole ninja academy aware of it.

He even brought Asuma and Kurenai along to mock him.

If it weren't for the secret service members stopping him, he really would have liked to go out and beat him up.

Chiga asked, "Aren't you going to the Ninja Academy today?"

"Because there will be a practical assessment in two days, the teacher allowed us to rest for two days."

"That's what Zhi Shui said."

Chiga felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing this; wasn't this the same examination method used by Ryoichi-sensei when she first arrived?

"Shisui, 伱."

"Uncle, I understand. It's intelligence gathering. Don't worry, I already know all the information about our opponents."

Before Chiga could finish speaking, Shisui interrupted him.

Seeing that Shisui understood, Chiga didn't say anything more.

What Chiga really wanted to say was, "Stop gathering intelligence. Your entire squad combined wouldn't be enough for you to beat up by yourself."

When school started, Chiga had already observed the ninja academy students in Shisui's class, and he didn't recognize any of them; they were all just nobodies.

Although Chiga's idea was a bit exaggerated, with Shisui's talent, as long as he widens the gap with those small fry in another two years, he really can take them down with a single strike.

Chiga then asked, "So what are your plans for today?"

"I'm going to the riverbank we often visit to practice my shuriken throwing skills."

Shisui replied, then looked at Chika with expectant eyes and asked, "Uncle, are you free to cultivate with me today?"

Chiga thought about it and realized that since becoming a genin, he had initially followed Kushina on D-rank missions, but then he was put in solitary confinement. It had been a long time since he had trained with Shisui.

Kushina-sensei will need two more months to be unsealed, and he cannot take on missions on his own. Even if he can take on missions, they will probably be D-rank tasks like babysitting or garbage collection.

So when Chika saw Shisui's expectant eyes, Chika readily agreed, "Alright, I'm free anyway. My Jonin instructor still needs to be imprisoned for two more months, so I don't think I'll have any missions to do recently."

Zhi Shui's eyes lit up immediately. "So, Uncle will be accompanying me in my cultivation for the next two months?"

"More or less!" Chiga nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhi Shui's tone was filled with excitement as he said, "In that case, Uncle, let's go!"

"Perfect, I'd like to see how much you've improved since you entered the ninja academy!"

Seeing Shisui's eagerness, Chiga laughed. He had been cooped up in his room for a month and was practically rusting. It was a good opportunity to get some exercise with Shisui.

The two arrived at the familiar riverbank and stood facing each other.

"Uncle, let's put aside the shuriken training for now. I want to show you the results of my recent training!"

After saying that, Shisui began forming hand seals, then softly shouted, "Clone Technique!"

Bang bang!

After two puffs of smoke, two clones appeared beside Shisui.

"Oh? A clone technique?"

After carefully examining the two clones, Chiga praised, "Without knowing better, it would be impossible to tell the difference between the real and the fake. Shisui, it seems you haven't been slacking off lately!"

Hearing his uncle's praise, Zhishui raised his head slightly.

Of course, my uncle has already become a genin, how could he waste his time at the ninja academy?

Of course, I need to keep up with my uncle's pace and strive to graduate early.

If I'm lucky, I might even be assigned to the same class as my uncle!

"Since that's the case, I, your uncle, will also give you a response—Shadow Clone Technique!"

Chiga gave a soft shout and summoned two shadow clones.

When Chiga used the Shadow Clone Technique, Shisui's face showed a surprised expression.

The difficulty level of this ninjutsu is B-rank.

More importantly, although the Shadow Clone Technique is a weakened version of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it still requires a certain amount of chakra.

Shisui himself was stuck on the amount of chakra he possessed, and dared not train this ninjutsu.

Moreover, he himself estimated that if he wanted to learn this ninjutsu, it would take at least two years.

Unexpectedly, my uncle not only cultivated it, but also used it very skillfully.

"Shisui, let me tell you a principle first: a ninja cannot afford to be distracted in the slightest once they enter battle!"

As Chiga spoke, she directed her shadow clones to rush towards Shisui.

There was no need for further entanglement; the shadow clones killed all of Shisui's clones with a single strike.

Chiga herself used a Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Shisui, her katana held to Shisui's neck.

Chiga chuckled, "You're distracted, Shisui!"

Zhi Shui: "."

Uncle, isn't your response a bit excessive?

A clone against a shadow clone? Isn't that just asking for trouble?!

Shisui was slightly disappointed. He hadn't expected that after two months, he would be in the Ninja Academy, but the gap between him and his uncle would widen even further.

The main problem is that the ninja academy teaches a lot of things, and there is very little practical training for freshmen; most of the instruction is theoretical and ideological.

Zhi Shui is a very serious person and would never skip class.

Therefore, my cultivation progress is actually a little slower than when I wasn't in school.

Hmph! I'd rather not attend this ninja academy!

"Okay, you're still young, isn't it normal for there to be a gap between us?"

Chiga also offered a word of comfort to Shisui.

Shisui pouted, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he was interrupted by a cry.

"Gah!"

Chiga and Shisui looked up and saw Crow Feather flying over.

It was obvious that Karasu, who was playing outside, noticed that Chiga had left the room, so she came looking for her.

P.S.: Sorry, I had something to do today, so I'm a little late.
