"Teacher Guy, I did hide the real reason for leaving the village..." Sasuke hung his head, looking like he had done something wrong.
"If I told the truth, the Hokage would not have let me leave. I just want to learn skills properly, then go find that guy and get revenge..."
After hearing Sasuke's explanation, Guy also understood who the person he wanted revenge on was.
"Sigh... you kid... really make people worry..."
Guy sighed helplessly. He planned to explain the situation here to the Hokage later, trying to minimize the blame for Sasuke leaving the village as much as possible.
For example, using his uncle as an excuse... as long as this matter was connected to Ryun, Konoha would most likely choose to 'turn a blind eye'.
That night, Ryun originally wanted to ask Guy to stay overnight at his home, but Guy insisted on staying outside the residence. Even though he had stayed here for a few nights several years ago, now that he was grown up, staying overnight at the Shadow's residence just felt inappropriate and made him uncomfortable all over...
Sasuke, on the other hand, was arranged by Aunt Kushina to stay in a guest room through her forceful insistence.
Although he felt very embarrassed, he really couldn't withstand Kushina's dragging and pulling...
"Little Brat, I think Sasuke looks a lot like you when you were little, except his forehead isn't as wide as yours..."
Late at night in the living room, Kushina lay on Ryun's legs, watching TV and chatting about idle matters.
"He looks like his mother, not like me..." Ryun casually denied this.
"Ah, if you put it that way, I think you look a lot like Mikoto too..." Kushina suddenly sat up from the sofa as if having a fit.
"..."
Ryun somewhat didn't want to deal with this foolish woman, but Kushina clearly wasn't planning to let him off.
"I'm serious, especially your hairstyles, and also your facial features..."
Seeing Kushina speak so methodically, Ryun couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.
"You lived at the Senju Manor when you were little, you must have seen photos of the First Hokage quite often, right?"
The question Ryun suddenly asked made Kushina visibly pause, but the next moment she nodded heavily. "Of course I've seen pictures of Grandma Mito's husband..."
"Then think now, what was his hairstyle like?" Ryun looked at her as if she were an idiot.
Kushina scratched her head and thought for a good while.
"Oh right, all three of your hairstyles seem pretty similar! This hairstyle actually suits both men and women... so amazing..." Kushina exclaimed with a look of astonishment.
Ryun sighed and fell silent. He felt that his daughter's intermittent foolishness was probably inherited from Kushina's genes. He should be more tolerant of his daughter in the future. After all, it might not be her fault; perhaps it's all because of her mother...
"But your facial features are very similar too... Mikoto agreed with that point..." Kushina really wanted to prove her viewpoint was correct.
"How did she answer you?"
"She... she said the facial features of the Uchiha clan members are all pretty much the same, but I don't agree with her on that..."
"Oh, oh..." Ryun responded expressionlessly.
"What does 'oh, oh' mean? Your response is way too perfunctory!" Kushina glared at him irritably, then lay back down on his legs as if nothing had happened and continued watching TV.
Every night she would watch TV on the sofa until she fell asleep, then Ryun would carry her into the room to sleep.
This woman was sometimes harder to deal with than his own daughter. Of course, this was actually a habit Ryun had fostered in her...
Early the next morning.
Sasuke woke up at six o'clock. But just after he finished washing up, as he passed the training room for the second time, he suddenly discovered Ryun and his daughter sitting cross-legged inside. Just moments before when he passed, he clearly hadn't sensed anyone inside!
If Sasuke hadn't seen them with his own eyes, he might have, like just before, subconsciously overlooked their presence!
The breathing rhythms of the two were almost perfectly synchronized, and the aura around them seemed somewhat ethereal and serene.
Sensing Sasuke standing at the door looking shocked, Ryun and Nanaise both opened their eyes almost simultaneously.
"That's enough for today. I'll go make breakfast for you..."
Ryun said, taking the initiative to stand up. He ignored Sasuke and walked straight to the kitchen.
"Nanaise, what were you two doing so early in the morning? Sitting motionless... were you doing some kind of training?" Sasuke couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
"Yes, Daddy is teaching me to cultivate immortality. Morning is the best time for cultivation... We look motionless, but it's actually to let the energy inside our bodies move better..."
Nanaise explained with a smile. Being simple, she basically didn't hide anything when faced with questions.
"Cultivate immortality???" Sasuke's face showed astonishment upon hearing this.
"Mmhmm, cultivate immortality... Why does Big Brother Sasuke look so surprised? Don't you know about cultivating immortality either?" Nanaise tilted her head and asked.
"This 'cultivating immortality' you mentioned, does it mean refining chakra?" Sasuke suddenly thought of this possibility.
"Refining chakra? Daddy said that's the ninja training system, and it's not suitable for me..." Nanaise thought for a moment before stating clearly.
"The ninja training system isn't suitable for you... then do you have chakra in your body?" Sasuke asked urgently.
"Yes, but to be precise, what I have is Senjutsu Chakra. My power is very different from the chakra ordinary ninjas use."
"Senjutsu Chakra! What is that?" Sasuke felt like he had discovered an incredible secret.
This might be the key reason why Uncle Ryun could become 'Number One in the Ninja World'!
"Senjutsu Chakra... is Senjutsu Chakra..." Nanaise suddenly said with a serious face, uttering a meaningless statement.
"..."
This clan sister seemed a bit silly. Sasuke was silent for a moment before asking again, "Can you explain it more clearly... for example, what's the difference between Senjutsu Chakra and ordinary chakra..."
"The difference... I remember Daddy said, ordinary people's chakra is just a product generated by combining physical energy and mental energy. But Senjutsu Chakra is the product of combining physical energy, mental energy, and natural energy..."
Nanaise answered every question asked, which excited Sasuke for a moment.
"I know about physical energy and mental energy, but what is this natural energy?"
"Natural energy is just natural energy ah..."
Nanaise answered, blinking her big eyes.
"..."
Although this clan sister was indeed quite daft, Sasuke had to admit... she looked really cute...
"Nanaise, can you explain in more detail? I don't know what natural energy is..." Sasuke said, his face red. It was unclear whether he was blushing from ignorance or from looking at the girl for too long...
"Natural energy... It exists everywhere. You just need to sense it a little and you'll discover it ah..."
Nanaise spread open her palm, and a small stream of natural energy from around her was easily drawn into her palm.
"Can you feel it? In my hand, natural energy, like air..."
"No... there's clearly nothing in your hand..."
Sasuke's eyes widened wide, even his one tomoe Sharingan emerged, but even so, he couldn't see anything unusual in Nanaise's hand. His clan sister's palm was pink, her blood energy should be very vigorous...
"Silly, you definitely can't see it with your eyes... I said you need to feel it with your heart..."
Nanaise said, turning her palm towards Sasuke, then made a pushing motion.
Instantly, Sasuke felt an invisible force slam into his chest. The entire force sent him stumbling back several steps, and the back of his head consequently knocked against the wall behind him.
"Oops, Daddy, come quickly, I accidentally knocked out Big Brother Sasuke..."
