My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

Uchiha Itachi walked dejectedly on the road back to his clan's territory. Just now, he had asked several villagers, and all he got were pretty much the same answers.

It's hard to imagine that his family would turn out like this just because he left the village for a short time.

In the past, although the garrison command would sometimes clash with the villagers, there was never such a thing as the entire garrison command being mobilized to brutally beat up the villagers.

"Did Shisui just stand by and watch this happen?" With this question in mind, Itachi Uchiha returned to the clan's territory. As he passed the Security Department, a scene in the Security Department's training ground once again caught his attention.

Inside the training ground, Uchiha Zaito kept throwing shuriken at a boy wearing a police uniform. The boy fled in a sorry state, with fireballs exploding behind him from time to time.

Unable to dodge in time, the boy was thrown over by the aftershock of the Fireball Technique explosion behind him, falling heavily to the ground and rolling several times before stopping. When he raised his head, traces of bloodline limit were seeping from his cheeks, which had been scraped by the rubble on the ground.

At this moment, Uchiha Kaito, the instigator of all this, roared at the man with a stern expression, "What kind of expression is that? What kind of look is that? And what are those tears? Can those tears protect the village? Can they protect the Will of Fire?"

"Get up! Don't hide! Charge at my shuriken and ninjutsu!" Uchiha Zaito shouted angrily, pointing a kunai at the boy.

After a while, Fujiwara Yoki finally mustered up his courage, stood up, roared to bolster his courage, and charged towards Uchiha Zaito.

Seeing this, Uchiha Zaito fired several shuriken at his opponent and used the Great Fireball Technique several times in succession.

As Fujiwara Yoki shouted, he skillfully dodged the shuriken and ninjutsu. When he couldn't dodge, he used the substitution jutsu to take the hits. After several twists and turns, he finally arrived in front of Uchiha Zaito and thrust his kunai at him. However, Uchiha Zaito simply stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist, causing the kunai to fall to the ground.

Exhausted, Fujiwara Yoki could no longer hold on and collapsed to his knees, panting heavily.

At that moment, Uchiha Zaito glanced down at his opponent and said coldly, "Is that all? You're really useless."

Upon witnessing this scene, Itachi Uchiha frowned, shook his head, and then walked towards his home.

[Is this how they treat their own kind? This family is truly hopeless.]

However, after he left, Fujiwara Yoki stood up shakily again. Seeing this, Uchiha Zaito's eyes revealed a faint smile, but when he spoke, his voice was still extremely cold: "You've finally gotten something out of it, but it's not enough. Go back and get some rest. We'll continue with extra training tomorrow."

"Yes!" Fujiwara Yoki replied with difficulty, raising his head.

The next second, a token was thrown into his arms, and Fujiwara Yoki looked puzzled.

"I haven't collected my allowance for this month yet. Please collect it for me when I leave. Then go to the pharmacy in Nara and buy five doses of herbal bath ingredients. I'll use them when I get home. Please send the rest of the money to my office tomorrow morning."

"Captain, there's no need for that. I have money to spare," Fujiwara Yoki said.

"Just take it!" Uchiha Zaito said coldly. "You should keep that little bit of money for yourself and buy something nutritious to improve your health. If you drag the team down again next mission, I won't let you off easily."

"Yes!" Fujiwara Yoki nodded, a hint of shame appearing on his face. During this collective operation of the Security Department, only a few people were injured, and he was one of them. This made Uchiha Zaito lose face. Fujiwara Yoki had just recovered from his injury when he was dragged to the Security Department for extra training.

However, Fujiwara Yoki wasn't dissatisfied. After all, Uchiha Zaito was considered one of the top ninjas of his age in the village, and even some of the village's Jonin might not be able to get the better of him. Such an opportunity for one-on-one guidance from a strong person was not something that could be obtained casually.

After finishing training, Fujiwara Yoki went home with a smile, while Uchiha Itachi had already arrived home.

"I'm home!" Itachi Uchiha opened the door.

"Itachi? You're back." Mikoto poked her head out of the kitchen, looking at her eldest son with a big smile.

"Mom, are you all alone?" Itachi Uchiha asked.

"Yes, your father is working overtime at the security headquarters, and Sasuke went to his teacher to learn new ninjutsu."

"Teacher? When did Sasuke get a teacher? How come I didn't know?" Itachi Uchiha was taken aback when he heard this.

"It's Chief Douhuan," Mikoto said with a smile. "Sasuke's talent for Fire Release is not as good as his talent for Lightning Release, so your father specially asked Chief Douhuan to teach him."

"What?!" Itachi Uchiha exclaimed in shock. "How could Sasuke become Touhuan Uchiha's apprentice?"

"Itachi, Chief Do-hwan is the head of the clan. How can you call him by his first name?" Mikoto's eyes turned stern. "Didn't your father and I teach you these manners?"

"I'm sorry, Mom, but..." Itachi Uchiha quickly apologized upon seeing this.

"There's no 'but' about it. Sasuke really likes his teacher too," Mikoto said.

"Alright." Itachi Uchiha had no intention of arguing with Mikoto. He put down the things he bought and hurriedly left. In his eyes, Touhuan Uchiha would only corrupt his cute little brother, and he couldn't stand idly by.

"Sigh, this child." Mikoto could only sigh helplessly as she watched Itachi Uchiha rush out of the house.

……

In the backyard of Uchiha Touhuan's house, Sasuke quickly formed hand seals and summoned a lightning ball. Compared to when he first learned it, Sasuke had made considerable progress in this technique. The lightning ball he summoned now was much more solid than before, and its color had changed from a phantom pale yellow to a pale blue. Although it was still quite different from Uchiha Touhuan's solid lightning that was close to a dark blue, it was enough for him to achieve this level at his age to be called a genius.

Then, as Sasuke moved his finger, the lightning ball circled around the two of them a few times before shooting into the sky and exploding in mid-air.

"Teacher, I did it!" After finishing all this, Sasuke looked up at Uchiha Touhuan with an expression of anticipation for praise.

"Hmm, that's pretty good." Uchiha Touhuan said, patting Sasuke's head.

"So, teacher, what will we learn next?" Sasuke asked curiously.

Sasuke's question really stumped Uchiha Touhuan. The amount of offensive ninjutsu he currently possesses, whether he learned them or developed them himself, is too much for Sasuke to learn with his current chakra reserves.
