Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

After changing his shoes at the entrance and entering the house, Shisui poured himself a glass of water.

He doesn't have the habit of calling me back because no one would respond and he lives alone at home.

Shisui glanced at the calendar on the wall and realized that it was already October 18th.

His birthday is October 19th, which is tomorrow.

However, Shisui did not plan to celebrate his birthday. The only person who knew about his birthday was his uncle. His uncle went out on a mission not long ago and had no time to come and celebrate his birthday.

He also didn't want to tell Mu Yue and the others about his birthday. He believed that Mu Yue would help him celebrate his birthday after knowing it, but Shishui didn't want to bother Mu Yue for such a small matter.

Mu Yue is already very busy, teaching the first-year class at the ninja school all day long, taking time to teach them in the morning and noon, and going to the southern forest as soon as school is over in the afternoon. Recently, she was injured while forging ninja tools at night.

Seeing Mu Yue so busy, how could Shishui have the nerve to bother Mu Yue with such a trivial matter as celebrating her birthday? Celebrating her birthday wouldn't help her grow in strength, and it would be of no benefit to either him or Mu Yue.

"It just means I'm one year older." Shisui said as he sat in the yard and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

After thinking about some random things, Shisui finally decided to practice ninjutsu.

Perhaps because his mind was distracted, two of Shisui's four shurikens were not enchanted with flames this time.

"So that's how it is..." Shisui began to understand why Obito failed to release his energy during the day.

On the other side, Mu Yue gathered all the disciples except Shishui.

"Do you know what day tomorrow is?" Mu Yue asked.

Chapter 140 Shisui's Birthday

"It's Friday!" Obito answered the question enthusiastically.

"Tomorrow is Thursday, and Teacher Mu Yue shouldn't be asking what day it is," Nohara Lin corrected.

She felt that Mu Yue was not the kind of person who couldn't even remember what day it was and had to ask students. Besides, asking what day it was wouldn't require asking three people.

"I've been going to school as a Shadow clone lately, and I haven't paid much attention to the date. It turns out today is Wednesday." Obito explained with a chuckle and scratching his head.

"Is it the day when the barbecue restaurant is having a discount? Or is it the anniversary of how many days I have been a teacher?" Obito continued to guess.

"Is he preparing to teach us a new super forbidden technique?" Might Guy guessed.

"That shouldn't be the case. I haven't even learned the breathing method yet, and Shisui doesn't seem to be here." Obito discovered something wrong.

"Tomorrow is Shisui's birthday." Mu Yue didn't keep the suspense and said directly.

"Shisui didn't come because I deliberately didn't call him. We will give him a surprise tomorrow." Mu Yue explained with a smile.

Being straightforward is good, but Mu Yue feels that sudden surprises will yield greater gains. Extreme emotions may lead to an unprecedented critical hit, unleashing skills at a level higher than mastery.

"So it's Shisui's birthday." Obito showed an expression of sudden realization.

"It's tomorrow? Why didn't he tell us in advance?" Obito scratched his head, confused.

He felt that it might be too late to start preparing tonight.

"Maybe he doesn't want to trouble others." Nohara Lin said after thinking for a while.

She joined later and didn't know Shisui as long as Might Guy and Obito, but they had known each other for about two months.

Shisui gave her the impression of being the kind of person who would do everything quietly by himself and didn't like to trouble others.

During daily training, Shisui usually studies on his own, and only goes to Muyue for help when he really can't figure it out. This is very different from Obito, who will quickly go to Muyue for answers when he encounters a problem.

"How can it be a trouble? Isn't it natural to help a friend celebrate his birthday?" Obito became even more confused.

"Let's not discuss this for now. Let's discuss how to help Shisui celebrate his birthday." Mu Yue said.

Obito's personality makes it difficult for him to understand some of Shisui's actions.

"Buy a birthday cake." Obito suggested.

"I'll give him a nice sportswear." Might Guy said excitedly.

"Since you want it to be a surprise, why not let Shisui know at the last minute? We can decorate Shisui's room with some birthday decorations first."

"After all, Shisui stays with Teacher Mu Yue during the day and doesn't go back, so it should go smoothly." Nohara Lin suggested.

Mu Yue nodded. In terms of daily life, Shisui and Nohara Rin are more reliable, while Obito and Might Guy are both lively players.

"I just don't know where Shisui's home is." Nohara Rin continued.

"I know this, I know this." Obito volunteered.

He and Shisui are both from the Uchiha clan and live in the Uchiha clan territory. Their homes are actually not far from each other.

"That's it, everyone should continue practicing normally tomorrow, then take some time to decorate the room, and finally give Shisui a surprise when he returns home in the evening." Mu Yue thought for a moment and said.

The disciples all nodded.

After the discussion, everyone went home.

……

The next day, Shisui got up as usual, and after washing up, he first used his shadow clone to send the shadow clone to school.

Then Shisui went to Obito's house and asked Obito to practice with him.

"Goodbye, grandma." Obito said goodbye to his grandma and quickly went to the entrance to change his shoes and leave.

"Take good care of Shisui, he is younger than you." Grandma reminded.

After Shisui came to see Obito several times, Obito's grandmother also got to know Shisui.

"I know." Although he felt that Shisui didn't need his care at all, Obito still replied.

"What are we having for breakfast today? Uncle Teyaki's pancakes or some dumplings on the street?" Obito asked.

"Obito, go to whatever place you want to eat," Shisui replied.

Unless he is asked to choose between Muyue cuisine and non-Muyue cuisine, Shisui will choose to eat what his companions want to eat.

"Then let's go to Uncle Teyaki's place. It's close and we haven't eaten it for several days." Obito quickly decided.

Even in a ninja family like the Uchiha family, there are some ordinary people who did not become ninjas. Uncle Teyaki mentioned by Obito is one of them. His full name is Uchiha Teyaki, and he runs a pancake shop.

The two of them walked towards the Southern Forest while eating pancakes, and on the way they helped an old lady who had fallen down.

"Teacher Mu Yue." After arriving at the place, the two greeted Mu Yue and began to practice.

Obito continued to study the technique of forming hand seals with one hand, while Shisui continued to practice full concentration breathing.

"Concentrate and concentrate your breathing." Shisui controlled his breathing rhythm and chakra while running quickly, making his speed increase continuously.

Using chakra and breathing techniques at the same time made Shisui's physical strength dissipate quickly. After his physical strength was completely gone, he had to stop and rest for a while.

"The explosive strength is still not enough, I need to practice for a long time." Shisui was reflecting on the training just now during the break.

Even when he was concentrating fully on his breathing, it was still not focused enough, and he couldn't achieve the explosive effect that Mu Yue had described.

While Shisui was resting, Obito came over and asked Shisui about his insights on one-handed hand seals.

"As for gifts, Shisui, what kind of gift would you like?" Obito asked.

"Gift? Why are you asking this suddenly?" Obito suddenly jumped from the topic of ninjutsu to gifts, and Shisui was a little puzzled.

Seeing Shisui's puzzled expression, Obito was worried that Shisui might have discovered something, so he quickly added:

"Haha, since I've been bothering you Shisui lately, I was thinking about whether I should send you something. Or is there anything you want to eat, like ramen?"

"It's just mutual help between companions, there's no need to be like this." Shisui replied.

Since Obito was always very playful, Shisui didn't notice anything for the time being.

Later, Obito was hit by Mu Yue's shadow clone on the grounds that he was not concentrating on his training.

At noon, Obito's shadow clone led the way and brought Mu Yue Nohara Rin and the others to Shisui's house.

"Does Shisui live alone in such a big place?" After Might Guy came in, he found that Shisui's house was quite big, three times the size of their home.

"It should be a building built during the village's founding period." Nohara Rin, who had good grades in history, could recall a building similar to Shisui's house from her textbook.

"It doesn't matter. Let's start preparing. Class will be here soon," said Obito.

"Be careful when arranging it, don't damage Shisui's things." Mu Yue reminded.

He tried his best to choose some things that were easy to pack up, so that when he helped Shisui celebrate, he could pack up quickly.

Wait a minute

Chapter 141 A Thoughtful Gift

"Today's practice is over. It's already very late. Let's go back." Mu Yue said in a gentle voice.

By this time it was already seven o'clock in the evening and it was getting dark.

"Well, goodbye, Teacher Muyue." Obito said goodbye to Muyue with excitement.

"Goodbye, Teacher Mu Yue." Shisui also said goodbye to Mu Yue.

"Shisui, I won't go back with you today. Xiaolin and I have something to do, so you go back alone." Obito and Shisui said.

Since we want to give Shisui a surprise, we definitely won't go back together.

"Well, then I'll go back alone." Shisui nodded, his expression not changing much.

After finally saying goodbye to everyone, Shisui walked home alone.

The moon on October 19th was also very round. Under the moonlight, Zhishui's shadow became longer and longer, and it was parallel to the trees next to him, so he didn't seem lonely.

"Just like usual..." Shisui thought back on his day and found that it was no different from usual.

If you think about it, is the day you were born really that special and worth celebrating?

For a ninja, the days when he practices a powerful ninjutsu are more memorable.

After walking out of the Southern Forest, Zhishui gradually walked into the main urban area, and more and more people gathered around him.

Although it is a war period now, the warring parties have not yet launched their attacks, and Konoha has not been affected too much. The main city area is still prosperous. Although it is night, there are still a large number of people on the streets, and various shops are brightly lit.

"Be good and don't cry. Mommy will buy you a toy on your birthday."

The little child, who had been crying for unknown reasons, quickly smiled again after being comforted by his mother.

"Dad, I want to eat that!"

"No, didn't we just finish our meal?"

"But I just want to eat."

"Then you can only eat one."

Some children see the tempting aroma of fried food on the street and can't help but ask their parents for it.

Some parents cannot resist the pleading of their children's innocent faces, while some parents can use various techniques to make their children give up on their own initiative.

"This is too expensive. We are poor and cannot afford it."

"If you eat this, you'll be captured by the legendary Uchiha Madara tonight."

Shisui felt a little weird after hearing this. It turned out that his ancestor was already capable of stopping children from crying at night.

Curious as to why so many children wanted to eat it, Shisui bought a fried meat patty and tried it.

To be honest, Shisui felt that the tempura was just ordinary after taking the first bite. It was completely different from the tempura made by Mu Yue.

With the mentality of not wasting food, Shisui ate it all.

As Shisui gradually approached the Uchiha clan territory, the environment became deserted again.

As they were almost home, Shisui felt a sense of relief that the day was finally over.

Although he knew that Mu Yue would never help him celebrate his birthday, because Mu Yue didn't know when his birthday was, and he had never told Mu Yue.
