Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Rough, But Effective

When Tsunade arrived at the Hokage Office, not only was the Third Generation Hokage present, but also Uchiha Fugaku.

Seeing the clan leader of the Uchiha Race, Tsunade couldn't help but click her tongue in her heart, thinking the old man was really meddling.

"Tsunade, you know why I've called you here, right? Why did you make a move against Uchiha Yoichi in the village just now?"

The Third Generation Hokage said to Tsunade with a serious expression. He had just scolded Uchiha Fugaku for not attacking fellow villagers, only to turn around and find his own student had made a move against Uchiha Yoichi.

One of the Sannin chasing an Uchiha Chunin all over the village, almost running outside the clan land?

The Third Hokage was so shocked by this news that he nearly dropped his crystal ball.

The Anbu received the message, so the Security Team could have received it too. In Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, Tsunade was too impulsive and completely disregarded her status.

"Lady Tsunade, if Uchiha Yoichi has offended you in any way, I will have Yoichi come to your door to apologize."

At this moment, Uchiha Fugaku also spoke, and his words made Tsunade feel a bit embarrassed.

The other party was the first to admit fault, and since the one who offended her was Uchiha Yoichi, Tsunade couldn't very well throw a fit at Uchiha Fugaku.

"It's nothing, it has nothing to do with you Uchiha. This is a personal matter between me and that brat!"

Tsunade clicked her tongue and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Old man, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. I've told you about this matter before. As for today, I was impulsive, but it was because that brat started babbling nonsense, which made me lose my temper."

Having said that, Tsunade directly left.

Her departure left Sarutobi Hiruzen somewhat embarrassed. Among his three students, Tsunade had the worst temper, and when she got anxious, she would sometimes throw a tantrum at him during Jonin meetings.

But all the Jonin of Konoha knew about this, so Uchiha Fugaku simply pretended not to see it.

"Fugaku, Tsunade did mention it to me before, but I was a bit busy at the time, so I forgot...."

Following that, Sarutobi Hiruzen explained to Uchiha Fugaku that Uchiha Yoichi could perform the Lightning Release Chakra Mode Nin-Taijutsu.

Lightning Release Chakra Activation Cells and methods to enhance body speed are quite common, but the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, this Nin-Taijutsu, is a secret passed down by the Hidden Cloud Ninja.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku slightly frowned, thought for a while, and then said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Lord Hokage, recently Yoichi self-taught a second chakra nature transformation, and has mastered cell activation. As for the Lightning Release Chakra Mode... it should be a misunderstanding."

Uchiha Yoichi's Sharingan won't lie, and his life in Konoha leaves traces. There's no way he's a Hidden Cloud Ninja spy.

Even if he does know the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it might have been a coincidence for Uchiha Yoichi to acquire it.

Uchiha Fugaku recalled a previous mission of Uchiha Yoichi's where he encountered a Hidden Cloud elite squad. Out of the four-member Chunin squad, he was the only one who survived and even brought back intelligence about Hidden Cloud operations.

If there was an opportunity for Uchiha Yoichi to acquire the Lightning Release Chakra Mode Nin-Taijutsu, it would have been during that mission.

"Yes, I also believe Uchiha Yoichi is not a spy. This matter might truly be a coincidence. Fugaku, I'll leave it to you to communicate with Yoichi, and I'll handle appeasing Tsunade..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a kind smile.

Uchiha Fugaku nodded and said, "I understand, Lord Third Hokage."

——————————————

"That crazy woman, isn't she supposed to be wallowing in sorrow and gambling? Why does she act like she's seen her enemy when she sees me?"

After returning home, Uchiha Yoichi relaxed a bit. This is the Uchiha Clan Land; no matter how arrogant Tsunade might be, she wouldn't possibly storm in here.

As for earlier, he didn't have the chance to return to the clan land because it doesn't welcome outsiders, so after enlisting Kakashi as a sparring partner for swordsmanship, he trained at the edge of the village's forest.

"There was quite a commotion in the village just now. Maybe the Anbu will come knocking soon, and I can't accept interrogation in this state...."

"This Eavesdropping Honesty Young Master's ability definitely needs to be addressed. If I keep talking, the first one to suffer would be me...."

Uchiha Yoichi thought of a few methods to limit this ability and decided to give them a try.

Having used it so many times, Uchiha Yoichi was quite familiar with this superpower roulette. The abilities and rules on it were consistent, but they weren't impossible to limit.

Uchiha Yoichi took some paper and pen, then left home to find someone at random to test the ability on.

He had only been wandering within the clan for a short while when he suddenly saw some familiar faces: Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin.

"Yoichi-senpai!"

Uchiha Obito also saw Uchiha Yoichi and immediately waved to him, then walked toward him with Nohara Rin.

As for Uchiha Obito, Yoichi didn't have any affection for him at all.

The Uchiha are somewhat extreme, and Uchiha Obito is the best among them, practically a diode.

However, since he ran into them, Uchiha Yoichi decided to use them for a test.

Crack!

Uchiha Yoichi directly dislocated his jaw, then approached Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin, wrote a random question on a piece of paper: 'Has Kakashi gone back?'

"He's already gone back, damn it, I originally planned to challenge him. It seems he knew I've grown stronger and was afraid he would lose to me, so he absolutely refuses to duel!"

Mentioning Kakashi seems to trigger an endless stream of words from Uchiha Obito, but thinking of the incident they just encountered, his curiosity overshadowed his enthusiasm for Kakashi.

"Yoichi-senpai, did you just escape from Lady Tsunade, one of the Sannin? Why was she chasing you? And she looked so angry...."

Upon hearing Obito's question, Uchiha Yoichi instinctively wanted to answer, but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth because his jaw had been dislocated, making it impossible for him to speak.

'Great, I found a way!'

Dislocating the jaw was just a crude method. There are many ways not to talk, and Uchiha Yoichi could even have the Ninja Tool Store craft a partial face mask specifically to restrain the mouth from speaking.

"Yoichi-senpai?"

'It has nothing to do with you. Don't ask too much.'

After writing this sentence on a slip of paper, Uchiha Yoichi turned around and headed to the Ninja Tool Store to place an urgent order for something he needed the next day.

On the way to the Ninja Tool Store, he reattached his jaw. He had learned some simple techniques like bandaging from a teammate before, so he could fix his dislocated jaw himself.

It just hurt a bit.

This can't be delayed. Before he gets the half-face mask to restrain speech, Uchiha Yoichi plans to stay at the Ninja Tool Store.
