The Uchiha clan compound was not close to the Konoha Ninja Academy, but the two Aozora brothers walked fast and returned to their mansion in a short time.
Uchiha Kagami was a Jonin of Konoha back in the day and a member of the Second Hokage’s elite escort unit.
He didn’t leave many inheritances for his descendants, but it wasn’t a small amount either.
Although their father’s generation squandered a lot, they still left the two brothers a luxurious mansion.
Upon entering the house, Uchiha Shisui suddenly remembered that his younger brother graduated today.
He quickly said, “Let’s go eat out, you can eat whatever you want.” Uchiha Aozora rolled his eyes at him and said, “You should have said so earlier, we’re already home.” After speaking, he walked towards the kitchen.
Uchiha Aozora’s parents died in a mission shortly after he was born, and he was raised by his older brother, Uchiha Shisui.
But after he entered the Ninja Academy, Uchiha Shisui also began to be busy with missions, often not coming home for three to five days.
Since then, he had been living alone, and was very skilled in washing clothes and cooking.
Uchiha Shisui also followed him in and asked, “Is there anything you need help with?” He thought about it and said, “There is frozen beef in the fridge, just slice it thinly.” After giving Uchiha Shisui his orders, Uchiha Aozora picked and washed the vegetables.
Uchiha Shisui took out the frozen beef and placed it on the chopping board.
He frowned, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
A moment later, he slapped the chopping board, and the beef flew into the air.
In an instant, he drew the sword from his back and slashed wildly with a “swish, swish, swish”.
Slices of beef as thin as cicada wings fell onto the chopping board.
He asked, “Is this okay?” “Uh, I guess so!” Uchiha Aozora didn’t know what to say.
Thinking about it, it didn’t matter if it was a bit thin, it could all be eaten anyway.
He just needed to scald it for two seconds less.
With the addition of the “top-tier knife skills” chef, the hot pot ingredients were quickly prepared.
Placing the iron pot filled with broth on the small stove, Uchiha Aozora announced, “Ready to eat!” The broth in the pot had already been heated, and soon steam was rising.
The aroma of the soup base wafted with the steam, stimulating Uchiha Shisui’s taste buds.
“The water is boiling, let’s eat!
Eat the meat first, then the vegetables.
The meat slices only need to be scalded for two seconds, otherwise they’ll get tough.” After saying that, he picked up a thin slice of beef, put it into the pot, took it out two seconds later, dipped it in his homemade sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The aroma of the sauce and the tender, smooth texture of the meat slice instantly enveloped him.
Enjoying the tenderness of the meat, Uchiha Aozora gave a thumbs up to his brother and mumbled, “Good knife skills.” “Really?
Let me try too!” His younger brother’s praise filled Uchiha Shisui with joy, and he couldn’t help but try it as well.
“So delicious!” “Aozora, when did your cooking skills get so good?
This soup is so fresh!” “Ha, the beef slices you cut are not bad, very tender!” “I think so too, let me have another slice!” “…” The meat slices rapidly decreased, and the vegetables were also quickly devoured by the two.
When even the ginger in the pot was eaten by Uchiha Shisui, this battle finally ended.
Letting the fire burn the clear soup in the pot, the two brothers clutched their stomachs and lay comfortably on the floor.
“Aozora, what is your dream?” Uchiha Shisui suddenly asked.
Uchiha Aozora thought for a moment and replied, “To learn all the ninjutsu in the ninja world, I guess!” He wanted to know the relationship between the ninjutsu of this world and the heavenly book.
After learning all the ninjutsu in the ninja world, what changes would occur to the heavenly book?
“What?” Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui sat up in surprise.
He had thought his brother might want to become a Jonin, or even the Hokage, but he completely hadn’t expected his brother’s dream to be this.
Besides Aozora, there was another person who had said this, but that person’s ninjutsu talent was rare to see in a century.
Yet his brother…
His brother’s astonishment was within his expectations.
He said, “This is my dream, I’m not joking.” Uchiha Shisui saw the seriousness in Aozora’s eyes, so his words of persuasion got stuck in his throat.
After a while, he said solemnly, “Brother believes in you!” After saying that, he got up and walked toward his own room.
After lying there for a while, Uchiha Aozora realized something was wrong.
Glancing at the messy dining table, he felt that his brother was not honest at all.
“Phew—” Letting out a long breath of foul air, Uchiha Aozora had no choice but to clean up the mess himself.
Just as he finished washing the dishes, Uchiha Shisui happened to appear.
Towards such a “heartless and unjust” brother, Uchiha Aozora put on a dark face.
Uchiha Shisui was totally confused.
He put down the wooden box he was holding in his arms.
“Aozora, inside this cabinet are the ninjutsu scrolls left by our father.
Over the years, I’ve also placed some ninjutsu scrolls I collected inside.” “Before, you hadn’t refined chakra, so I kept them myself.
Now that you’ve graduated from the Ninja Academy, you naturally have the right to view and learn them.” Saying so, Uchiha Shisui opened the cabinet, which contained more than ten scrolls.
Looking at his brother’s burning gaze, Uchiha Shisui didn’t immediately push the cabinet to Uchiha Aozora.
Instead, he warned, “Aozora, I support your dream!” “But biting off more than you can chew is not good.
I hope you can control your desires and make good choices.” “Going forward, I will regularly check your training progress.
If I find that you are neglecting your training to learn ninjutsu and your strength stagnates, then I will take it back!” After speaking, he pushed the cabinet toward Uchiha Aozora.
Uchiha Aozora couldn’t wait to pick up the wooden box, preparing to take it back to his room.
After taking two steps, he remembered he hadn’t thanked his brother yet.
Uchiha Aozora quickly turned his head and said, “Brother, thank you!
Also, I won’t give you the chance to take it back!” After saying that, Uchiha Aozora hugged the wooden box and went upstairs with a “thump, thump.” Seeing the heartfelt smile on his brother’s face, Uchiha Shisui returned to his room, fully satisfied.
On the other side, Uchiha Aozora returned to his bedroom, placed the wooden box on his bed, then quickly took off his shoes, got on the bed, and started examining.
Just when he wanted to sleep, someone offered a pillow.
This was truly having his wishes come true!
Looking at the treasure box, Uchiha Aozora slowly stretched out his sinful little hands!
I’m opening it!
“Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.” I’m opening another one!
“Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.” I’ll open one more!
“Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.” After opening three low-level Fire Style ninjutsu consecutively, Uchiha Aozora’s excited mood gradually calmed down, and he quickly flipped through all the scrolls.
In the entire wooden box, there were 23 scrolls in total.
One scroll recorded one or two ninjutsu and related training insights, recording a total of 33 ninjutsu.
Among the 33 ninjutsu, 18 were ninjutsu, 9 were genjutsu, 3 were sword techniques, and 3 were ninja tool manipulation techniques.
Although there were many, they were basically all D-rank and C-rank ninjutsu.
There were only 3 B-rank ninjutsu, and not a single A-rank ninjutsu.
“Sigh, brother, you are doing so miserably.
To think the dignified ‘Shisui of the Body Flicker’ only has this little collection!” Although complaining verbally, Uchiha Aozora was blooming with joy inside.
He believed his brother definitely held some back, but he definitely had his reasons.
These ninjutsu were already enough for him to train with for a long time.
He thought for a moment and picked out three scrolls from the bunch.
The first scroll recorded the basic Uchiha Fire Style—Great Fireball Technique and Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.
The second scroll recorded two basic genjutsu—Hell Viewing Technique and Sly Mind Affect Technique.
The third scroll recorded shuriken throwing and manipulation techniques—Manipulated Shuriken Technique.
Uchiha Aozora didn’t choose advanced ninjutsu, but instead chose relatively basic ones.
Because he knew that tall buildings rise from the ground up.
Having selected the ninjutsu that were good to learn initially, Uchiha Aozora felt no further reluctance to leave the ninjutsu in the box.
Hiding the locked box away, Uchiha Aozora unrolled one of the scrolls.
