Uchiha Ju grabbed Uchiha Sasuke's wrist, and they were instantly locked in a stalemate.
Uchiha Sasuke's pupils contracted. His arm could not advance or retreat. He thought to himself, 'How is this person's strength so immense!'
Uchiha Ju looked at Uchiha Sasuke like this, the corners of her mouth curving upward. This guy, so interesting.
She casually threw Uchiha Sasuke out, and before throwing him, she disarmed the kunai from his hand.
"Children really shouldn't play with such dangerous things." Uchiha Ju said with a light laugh.
Uchiha Sasuke just felt his life was being doubted. How was his kunai so easily disarmed! While in mid air, he adjusted his posture, preparing to fight again.
At this moment, Uchiha Itachi stepped forward. "Enough, Sasuke!" Uchiha Sasuke's mouth twitched. "I can still fight!"
Uchiha Itachi felt somewhat helpless. Beating you up was literally like an adult bullying a child! How can you not see it? Oh, right, I overlooked that your strength is very weak.
"Sasuke, you lost. Your stamina has been depleting continuously, while Ju Ju's stamina has almost no depletion. Didn't you feel it when fighting her?" Uchiha Itachi shook his head.
"I..." Uchiha Sasuke just wanted to explain, but then he saw Uchiha Ju stretch lazily, looking like she was about to fall asleep, which made him furious!
"Itachi brother, forget it. I don't want to fight anymore. It's boring." Uchiha Ju let out a breath.
Uchiha Itachi smiled gently. "Okay, Ju Ju worked hard. You go upstairs first. I'll teach my useless younger brother a lesson!"
Uchiha Ju laughed. "Okay. Then you should hurry! We still have class today!"
"Yes." Uchiha Itachi responded. After getting his reply, Uchiha Ju turned and walked towards the teaching building.
After seeing Uchiha Ju leave, Uchiha Itachi's expression changed. He looked at his younger brother. "Sasuke, you were too reckless!"
"Do you know that even though Uchiha Ju is one year older than you, her strength is at least at the Chunin level! At most, she can even seriously injure a Jonin!" Uchiha Itachi lectured.
Uchiha Sasuke opened his mouth, but seeing Uchiha Itachi's stern expression, he closed it again and turned his head away!
Big brother scolded me! I am ignoring you!
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi's mouth twitched. Why are children nowadays so stubborn? When he was young, he wasn't this worrisome!
"Sasuke." Uchiha Itachi changed tactics. He crouched down, placed his middle and index fingers together, and lightly tapped Uchiha Sasuke's forehead.
Uchiha Sasuke was stunned. This action was so familiar. Wasn't it what his brother had always done to him since childhood? Usually when there was something important.
He turned his head to look at the crouching Uchiha Itachi. Uchiha Itachi said seriously, "Sasuke, I support you challenging stronger opponents, but the prerequisite is that you must understand the opponent's strength. If you find the gap is too large, you should think about retreating."
"Instead of stubbornly forcing your way. Otherwise, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later. Rather than letting you act foolishly on the battlefield, I have decided that starting today, Sasuke, your training load will triple." Uchiha Itachi stood up and glanced at Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke shuddered all over. Triple? Are you crazy? The usual training lasts 6 hours. Triple would be 18 hours?
A day only has 24 hours. Could the remaining 6 hours be for sleeping? All other time is for training?
His face couldn't help but fall. He tugged at Uchiha Itachi's clothes, looking pitiful. "Brother, I was wrong! Please don't increase the training load."
Uchiha Itachi shook his head. "You can't even do the most basic observation. Since that's the case, then don't observe. Train your strength up so you don't have to avoid others' sharp edges!"
Uchiha Sasuke wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, remembering that yellow haired figure, he gritted his teeth. "Big brother, I was wrong. Please don't be angry. From now on, I will observe carefully and not make big brother worry!"
"Please, big brother, don't increase the training load!" He knew if he didn't speak up, it was over. He just became friends with that guy. He didn't want to lose the time to play with him!
Uchiha Itachi was taken aback. This was the first time Sasuke had voiced a request to him! What was the reason? Since Sasuke said it, then let him have his way this time.
"Okay, but you have to tell me why." Uchiha Itachi stared intently at Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke hesitated again and again, but finally said it. "Well, I, I made a friend. His name is Uzumaki Naruto." Then, Uchiha Sasuke began to talk about their meeting and common points.
Listening, the corners of Uchiha Itachi's mouth turned upward. Uzumaki Naruto? Unexpectedly, his younger brother had formed a bond! And looking at this, the bond wasn't small!
Watching Uchiha Sasuke gesturing, his eyes growing brighter as he spoke, Uchiha Itachi finally sighed. Since it was like this, then he wouldn't increase the training load.
"Alright, since it's like this, then I won't increase your training load. But from now on, you must pay more attention to observation. If you know you can't win, think of a way to leave. Understand!" Uchiha Itachi instructed.
Uchiha Sasuke quickly nodded. "Understood, understood! Big brother, I will never act recklessly again!" Of course, saying is one thing, doing is another!
Uchiha Itachi looked at Uchiha Sasuke suspiciously. Uchiha Sasuke hurriedly nodded, indicating that he absolutely would not act recklessly anymore!
Only then did Uchiha Itachi feel relieved. He slowly said, "Follow me. This is your Ju Ju sister's class time. You should listen too."
After saying this, Uchiha Itachi turned and walked towards the teaching building. Uchiha Sasuke nodded and followed behind. The two walked towards the classroom.
Uchiha Ju's mood was pretty good. After all, she had just taught that brat a lesson. Her two pale legs swung back and forth, and she hummed an unfamiliar tune.
Just then, the door opened. Uchiha Ju looked over.
Uchiha Itachi's handsome face appeared, immediately making Uchiha Ju's mood even better. However, following behind him was a little brat, causing Uchiha Ju's movement to rise to stop, and she sat back down.
Uchiha Itachi patted Uchiha Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke reluctantly walked up to Uchiha Ju and said, "I am sorry! Ju Ju sister, I was wrong!"
Seeing this, Uchiha Ju smiled. She indicated it was fine, then pointed to a sofa. "If you want to listen, sit there."
Uchiha Sasuke nodded, preparing to walk towards the sofa. Uchiha Itachi frowned. "Sasuke! Did you say thank you?"
Uchiha Sasuke froze, then bowed to Uchiha Ju. "Thank you, Ju Ju sister!"
Uchiha Ju covered her mouth and chuckled, glancing at Uchiha Itachi. She knew this was Itachi brother venting her anger for her! Wanting her not to be angry anymore!
Uchiha Itachi's peach blossom eyes looked at Uchiha Ju. Uchiha Ju nodded at him, then looked at Uchiha Sasuke. "It's fine, Sasuke brother. Go sit!"
"This morning is theory class. The teacher hasn't arrived yet. It should be Itachi brother." Uchiha Ju said slowly.
Uchiha Sasuke nodded, then sat on the sofa. It felt so comfortable. He began to wonder curiously, could it be that Konoha Ninja Academy students all receive such high treatment?
This made him look forward to next year's enrollment ceremony! He could have such treatment too at that time.
However, he thought too much. This was a classroom personally arranged for Uchiha Ju by Danzo. Although emphasizing fairness, the fact was that some people still enjoyed preferential treatment.
After a long while
After Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Ju ate another delicious breakfast, Uchiha Shisui walked in.
"Yo, everyone's here. Good morning, everyone!" Uchiha Shisui was like a cheerful big boy.
"Shisui brother, good morning!" Uchiha Ju raised a chicken leg to greet him.
Uchiha Itachi, holding a small cake, imitated Uchiha Ju's action to greet Uchiha Shisui. However, he didn't speak, only nodded.
Uchiha Shisui smiled and nodded. Suddenly, his eyes looked towards the distant sofa, spotting a familiar figure there.
"Sasuke! What are you doing here!" Uchiha Shisui was somewhat puzzled.
Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly, turned his head away, ignoring Uchiha Shisui.
Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi frowned and looked at Uchiha Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke, seeing his older brother like this, shuddered all over.
He obediently stood up. "Shisui brother, I came with my brother. I'll be starting school next year. I came to see what Konoha Academy's environment is like."
Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui smiled. "Okay. Since it's like this, then sit. We'll start class soon."
Uchiha Sasuke sat down, then propped his chin on his hand, looking towards the front.
Uchiha Ju and Uchiha Itachi also speed up their eating. Finally, at exactly 8 a.m., they packed up their lunch boxes, ready for class.
Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui began the lecture. His foundational knowledge was also very solid. His lecturing was smooth and fluent.
Uchiha Ju listened attentively. Uchiha Sasuke didn't pay attention at first. After all, the Uchiha clan's collection of books was vast. He had read many. However, the more he listened, the more he felt something was off!
Improved shuriken throwing techniques, multiple usage methods for the Body Flicker Technique, expansion and extension of the Three Basic Techniques. These were all Uchiha Shisui's personal insights into ninjutsu. Unless one was very close to him, he would never teach them!
Later, Uchiha Sasuke even took out a notebook and started taking notes. Uchiha Itachi thought little of this knowledge. His path and Shisui's path were different. Therefore, these parts could be used for reference.
But he cared very much about his younger brother. He looked back and saw Uchiha Sasuke recording something, his eyes full of seriousness.
Uchiha Itachi smiled. This was a smile of relief. The child had grown up and knew to study!
This knowledge might not be so helpful to Uchiha Itachi, but for Uchiha Sasuke, it was like a sudden enlightenment, having an indescribable benefit for his future!
Uchiha Shisui obviously also saw this scene. Seeing Sasuke's serious attitude filled him with relief. He smiled, then slowed down the lecturing speed.
This was also accommodating Uchiha Itachi's younger brother. After all, Itachi's younger brother was also his own younger brother, who needed to be doted on.
Uchiha Ju also felt the speed slow down. She looked back at Uchiha Sasuke and saw him seriously taking notes.
She raised an eyebrow. Fine, slow is slow. Anyway, she could remember it all! Uchiha Ju continued listening to Shisui's lecture.
