Uchiha Nan put away the other attributes first and took out the Fire attribute scroll and a few genjutsu scrolls.
The first things he wanted to learn were the Fireball Jutsu and Great Fireball Jutsu he had resisted head-on today.
These two techniques were simple to learn and powerful, essential for killing and arson.
Uchiha Nan walked to the middle of the courtyard, carefully observed the Fireball Jutsu, performed a few hand seals in a flash, and spat out three fireballs.
They slammed into the broken tree Roots, blasting out several charred pits and setting the Roots on fire.
Uchiha Nan raised an eyebrow; thanks to his affinity for the Fire element and the Chakra control he had been practicing, he learned this technique very easily.
“It’s not very challenging, and the power isn’t that impressive either.
It’s not as strong as taijutsu of the same level; it just wins on its fast firing speed.”
Uchiha Nan immediately lost interest and continued to study the C-rank Great Fireball Jutsu.
This time, he only failed twice due to a slight issue with Chakra output.
On the third try, he successfully spat out a large fireball, and the entire tree stump was completely blasted to smithereens.
Uchiha Nan nodded with satisfaction and returned home to continue studying the genjutsu scrolls.
Early the next morning, Uchiha Nan did not wait for Sister Mikoto’s wake-up service and rolled out of bed ahead of time.
“Another new day.”
After washing up, Uchiha Nan hid behind the main gate, waiting quietly for Uchiha Mikoto to walk right into his trap.
Before long, light footsteps approached.
Listening to this familiar sound, Uchiha Nan prepared himself.
After the gate opened, Uchiha Nan lunged over.
Because of the height difference, he wrapped his arms around Sister Mikoto’s slender waist.
With warmth and fragrance in his arms, Uchiha Nan took a sniff of her scent and even raised his head to look at Sister Mikoto.
“You scared me to death, Nan-kun.”
Uchiha Mikoto was startled, and the bento in her hand almost fell to the ground.
However, looking at the little guy hugging her, she couldn’t bring herself to be angry and could only pinch his fair, tender little cheeks.
“I’ll let it slide this time, but don’t do this again in the future.”
After eating breakfast, Sister Mikoto took away the previous bento box, and Uchiha Nan also went to school.
Passing by Obito’s house again, Uchiha Nan just shouted at him once and left quickly.
What if he got dragged by Obito to help an old lady cross the road and something went wrong?
Who would be responsible?
There was no ambush on the way this time, but Uchiha Nan did see that guy Tekka hiding there sneakily, peeking.
When he saw him, his eyes lit up, and he dragged him toward the dark corner of an alley. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Uchiha Nan didn’t sense anything unusual, so he went along with him.
“Is something the matter, Tekka?”
Uchiha Tekka looked left and right, and only after ensuring no one was around did he take a scroll out of his Ninja pouch and hand it to Uchiha Nan.
Seeing Uchiha Nan take it, Uchiha Tekka whispered.
“This is a Barrier Jutsu scroll, crafted overnight by my grandfather.”
“He said this can isolate the fluctuations of battle so that it won’t be detected by the Anbu in the Village.”
Uchiha Nan was slightly taken aback.
“Why would the Great Elder give me this?”
“After my grandfather learned about your situation yesterday, he sent people to keep an eye on Uchiha Ryūgan’s family.”
“As a result, the people watching reported last night that that guy Uchiha Ryuichi intends to bribe a Root Genin to teach you a lesson.”
“Grandfather said you should be able to use this, so he had me bring it over.”
Uchiha Nan smiled slightly: “The Great Elder is truly thoughtful.
With this Barrier Jutsu scroll, it’s the perfect time to send Uchiha Ryuichi to the afterlife.”
Hearing this, Uchiha Tekka’s mouth twitched; he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.
After all, after his grandfather’s explanation last night, he could understand the situation; Uchiha Nan was not the one at fault.
The two entered the classroom and waited quietly for their teacher, Umino Iruka, to arrive.
Until the bell rang for class, Uchiha Nan was not surprised to find that Obito was late again.
Umino Iruka also noticed it; after all, Uchiha Obito had been late when handing out the file bags, leaving a deep impression on him.
Having been bewitched by Rin Nohara, he chose to sit in the front row.
If he didn’t catch him, who would he catch?
“Uchiha Obito is late again.” Umino Iruka roared in anger.
Just then, the spiky-haired boy wearing yellow sunglasses made a flashy entrance, saying while panting,
“I’m very sorry, Teacher Iruka.”
Umino Iruka glared at him with burning anger: “Student Obito, this is already your third time being late.”
Uchiha Obito scratched his spiky hair awkwardly.
“I promise this is the last time, Teacher Iruka.
Before, it was because I was helping an old lady cross the road that led to me being late.”
“I promise it won’t happen next time.” Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“There aren’t that many ‘next times.’ Today, you will stand in the corner until class ends.”
Uchiha Obito spent the day standing in the corner in misery.
Meanwhile, at the Uchiha Clan Compound, at Uchiha Ryūgan’s house:
“Jonin Ryūgan, a secret letter from the Great Elder: the clan’s business in the Land of Iron has been harassed by a group of unidentified people.
You are ordered to go and station yourself in the Land of Iron.
Depart immediately.”
“Is it that urgent?
Can it be delayed for a period of time?” Uchiha Ryūgan pleaded in a low voice.
Last night, he had just helped his son find a Root Ninja to retaliate against Uchiha Nan.
Now that he hadn’t received any results yet, he had to go to the Land of Iron, which made him somewhat uneasy, so he wanted to beg the Great Elder for a delay.
Uchiha Kangetsu, dressed in black robes, had a cold expression as he stared fixedly at Uchiha Ryūgan before him.
“Depart immediately.
No errors are permitted.”
“Sigh, this subordinate understands.”
Uchiha Ryūgan accepted the order with frustration.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of the messenger in front of him.
After all, as a fellow Jonin, even if he couldn’t defeat the other party, he had the confidence to escape with his life.
What he feared was the Great Elder, the guy who had once followed Uchiha Madara.
As a Jonin in the clan, he deeply understood how cruel the Great Elder’s methods were when he was young.
Destroying families and wiping out clans, pulling up weeds and Roots—these were all trivial matters to the Great Elder.
Even though the Great Elder was already old, Uchiha Ryūgan did not dare to disobey his orders.
Uchiha Kangetsu watched as Uchiha Ryūgan reported to the Barrier Jutsu team and left Konoha before returning to the Great Elder to report back.
As the sun set, Uchiha Nan chose to go home alone because of Uchiha Tekka’s words that morning.
Walking to a dark corner between the Village and the Uchiha Clan Compound, two figures wearing black robes and white masks jumped out beside Uchiha Nan and landed next to him.
They stared fixedly at him, locking onto his escape route.
“Who are you?” Uchiha Nan asked, knowing the answer, as he looked at their Anbu attire.
The two Root Ninja stared at him without saying a word, reached into their Ninja pouches, and took out Kunai and shuriken.
Uchiha Nan thought to himself that it was boring.
Most of the guys from the Root had been brainwashed and controlled by Danzo.
Expecting them to reveal any information was wishful thinking.
