In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

[Ding! Mission issued: Collect Fire Release Ninjutsu energy]

System Reward: Concealment Mask Blueprint

Tianyu asked the system, "How do I collect this Fire Release energy?"

The system quickly provided him with an answer:

[The host can take out any type of kunai and place it in the Fire Release ninjutsu. Once the collected Fire Release ninjutsu energy is full, the kunai will automatically break.]

Tianyu nodded.

Although he didn't know the specific principles behind the system's absorption of Fire Release energy, he figured he just needed to follow the system's instructions to complete the task.

However… he really didn't possess any Fire Release ninjutsu.

It seems we'll need to come up with a plan to collect this fire-style energy.

After shutting down the system,

Tianyu decided to end his training for the day and leave the training ground.

At this moment,

A person wearing Konoha Anbu uniform,

A man wearing a full mask suddenly appeared in front of him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's ANBU?

Why would they suddenly contact me?

Tianyu immediately became wary without showing any emotion.

At this moment, the person in front of him took off the animal mask from his face and asked, "Excuse me, are you Tianyu?"

The moment Tianyu saw the face clearly, he was stunned for a second.

Uchiha Itachi?

Why would he contact me?

"Is there something you need?" Tianyu asked, frowning.

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha's identity is more sensitive and more dangerous than that of other ANBU ninjas.

As Tenyu sized up Itachi Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha was also sizing him up, and then he was deeply shocked.

The frequency of his breathing, the flow of chakra, the explosive power of his muscles... these subtle details are enough to prove that his strength is extraordinary.

No wonder Shisui told him before,

He met a gifted boy in the village.

That composure and maturity are qualities even he, at his age, could not possess.

No wonder he's a young man that even Zhishui looks at with special regard; he truly makes one feel inferior.

Although he was only one year older than Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha found it difficult to regard him as a younger brother, but rather as an "equal".

"I've come to see you this time because I do have some questions for you," Itachi Uchiha said expressionlessly.

Tianyu made no move and said nothing.

Just wait quietly for what follows.

The air seemed to freeze for two seconds.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of pressing further, Itachi Uchiha could only continue somewhat awkwardly:

"Then I won't keep you in suspense any longer. The reason I came to see you this time is actually related to Uchiha Shisui."

You've probably heard about Shisui's death a while ago.

The last time I saw Shisui, he mentioned you.

He said he was very grateful to you.

What...does this mean?

That's it?

Tianyu found it somewhat amusing.

It was all because of a casual remark Shisui made earlier.

Is Itachi Uchiha now approaching him, seeking answers?

Is this the brother-complex and brother-complex attribute passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan?

This trait was perfectly embodied in Itachi Uchiha.

He suddenly remembered the task that his system had just issued.

The Uchiha clan's Fire Release ninjutsu is renowned throughout the world, and its power is greater than that of ordinary Fire Release ninjutsu.

The Uchiha Itachi standing before them,

Wouldn't he be the best candidate to complete the task himself?

“I can tell you, but I hope you can do me a favor as well,” Tianyu said after a moment’s hesitation.

"You say it."

Tenyu took out a kunai and said, "If you can help me burn this kunai with fire-style ninjutsu, I will tell you everything I know."

Fire Release: Burn Kunai?

What kind of strange question is this?

Itachi Uchiha's eyes held a hint of doubt, but he didn't ask, because the request was simple for him.

Their Uchiha clan's fire-style techniques can reach temperatures of several thousand degrees Celsius, enough to melt kunai instantly.

"Okay, I'll help you."

Itachi Uchiha nodded.

He then placed the kunai on the ground and began to unleash a fire-style ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The kunai on the ground remained completely still; they didn't even turn red-hot, let alone melt instantly.

"what?"

Uchiha Itachi let out a soft sound of surprise.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"The quality of your kunai is quite good, even better than the kunai sold by Granny Cat of our Uchiha clan," Uchiha Itachi said casually, and then began to release fire-style ninjutsu again.

"Fire Release: Fire Phoenix Immortal Technique!"

"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"

……

In one breath, Itachi Uchiha unleashed more than a dozen Fire Release ninjutsu in succession.

As expected of an ANBU ninja.

Tianyu secretly estimated in his heart

His current strength should be close to that of a Jonin.

If the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan were added, instantly killing three or four Jonin would be no problem at all; their strength would be truly terrifying.

This year, Itachi Uchiha is only 13 years old.

He can be considered a true prodigy.

but,

Tianyu is confident.

When I reach that age...

My strength is definitely greater than that of Itachi Uchiha right now!

Are you kidding me?

Itachi Uchiha's face was ashen, and he asked him, slightly out of breath.

It seems that even with his current strength and chakra reserves, he is gradually becoming overwhelmed by releasing several B-rank and C-rank fire-style ninjutsu in succession.

If it weren't for wanting to find out the secret of Zhishui's death, why would he agree to help this little madman Tianyu do such a thing?

More importantly, Itachi Uchiha couldn't understand it at all.

Fire Release: Burning Kunai...

What the hell is the point of this?

Chapter 24 Another Possibility

"Hahaha, no need to rush, take a break first." Tianyu laughed awkwardly. He hadn't expected this mission to be so troublesome.

Even with Itachi Uchiha's fire-style ninjutsu skills, and despite releasing so many fire-style techniques, he still hadn't satisfied the system's requirement to absorb enough fire-style energy.

At the same time, he was also glad that he had approached Itachi Uchiha at this time.

If I rely solely on myself, I don't know how long it would take to absorb all the fire-style energy in this mission.

Itachi Uchiha's expression softened slightly.

He didn't speak, but instead sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and quickly restored his chakra.

Half an hour later, Itachi Uchiha opened his eyes again.

Begin repeating the previous actions.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

"Fire Release: Fire Phoenix Immortal Technique!"
