Chapter 82 A Belated Gift
At dawn, a hazy mist hung over the tribal land.
The central training ground of the clan is the best stage for all Uchiha to demonstrate their strength.
This place is not only home to Uchiha clan ninjas, but it is also surrounded by brightly lit cameras. Any effective training results will be discovered by the Anbu and Root organization immediately and reported to their superiors.
If you demonstrate a certain level of skill here, you will definitely be "favored" by the important figures in Konoha.
Your every move will be watched by them.
You will be placed under close surveillance and given strict "protection" to prevent any "accidents" from happening.
Therefore, the training ground at the center of the clan's territory has been known since ancient times as the "spotlight of the strong."
The Uchiha Grand Stage awaits, come and join us if you dare!
Today, Kazuhiko came to the central training ground.
Danzo had already obtained some of his information.
In that case
There's no need to keep hiding it anymore.
Returning home in wealth and honor is like wearing brocade at night.
"Who is this guy? What kind of strength does he have to come to the central training ground!"
"Eri's son, Uchiha Kazuhiko, if I remember correctly, he should be a medical genin."
"Although he is the son of Jonin Eri, this is the central training ground, and Genin are not qualified to come here to train in ninjutsu."
"He and Shisui have a good relationship; he's probably here to see Shisui."
"When will Lady Eri sever her mother-son relationship with him? An 18-year-old genin is not qualified to be Lady Eri's son at all."
"..."
Due to the existence of confidentiality regulations, Kazuhiko was still seen as that middle-aged genin by most Uchiha.
Aside from her looks, she is utterly useless and a disgrace to Jonin Eri.
Uchiha Eri and Uchiha Mikoto are both renowned female Jonin in their clans.
With great strength and outstanding appearance, she is the dream girl of most Uchiha.
Therefore, their husbands, sons, and even spirit beasts are often talked about and compared.
As the wife of the clan leader, Mikoto Uchiha naturally had access to Fugaku's strength.
Their son, Uchiha Itachi, was also a renowned genius ninja.
He graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of seven and became a Genin at a young age, with a promising future.
On the other hand, Eri Uchiha fared much worse.
Her husband, Hideki, was only a Chunin, far inferior to Fugaku in strength, but at least he was presentable.
As for Kazuhiko, an 18-year-old genin, even the dogs of the Uchiha clan would shake their heads in disapproval.
Thinking of this, the Uchiha clan members at the central training ground collectively shook their heads and silently threw themselves into training.
It's best not to mention this shameless son who keeps bothering Eri, the Jonin.
Thanks to the Byakugan contributed by many Uchiha, Kazuhiko successfully infiltrated the central training ground and found Shisui training his ninjutsu.
And his training partner was actually Uchiha Shota.
It's a good thing that the two believers have come together.
"How come you guys are training together?"
Kazuhiko was a little curious, since Shisui and Shota had no connection.
"Kazuhiko-nii..." Shisui was interrupted by Shota before he could speak.
"Brother Kazuhiko! I've joined the Anbu, and there are some things I need to ask Senior Shisui for advice on. We can train together."
Upon seeing Kazuhiko, Shota beamed with a big smile.
It seems he has fully adapted to the three-tomoe Sharingan.
"I see."
Kazuhiko smiled and nodded.
No wonder Shota's favorability rating has increased a lot; it turns out he successfully fulfilled his dream of joining the Dark Side and completed his obsession.
"That's enough for Hyuga..."
"I not only saw him in the Anbu, but I also personally defeated Hyuga Yoshiyuki during the trial!"
Shota was very excited and couldn't wait to speak before Kazuhiko finished.
"By the way, Kazuhiko-san, this scroll contains a pound of chakra steel. It's a thank-you gift prepared by my parents and grandfather. I hope you'll accept it."
The scroll is a common storage scroll, but the chakra steel inside is the hard currency of the ninja world.
Chakra steel, also known as chakra metal, is a rare metal that can conduct chakra, form chakra blades, and possess the ability to change properties.
Ninja tools made from this metal can multiply a ninja's combat power.
The most famous items in the original work are the ninja tools wielded by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and Asuma's Flying Swallow.
The two Flying Swallow swords weigh a total of 2.5 jin and are worth 3000 million taels.
In other words, Shota's 1 jin of chakra metal is worth over ten million taels, showing his sincerity.
"This is too expensive, how can we accept it?"
Kazuhiko declined.
Shota surprisingly refused, saying, "Kazuke-nii, you absolutely must accept this thank-you gift!"
So Kazuhiko had no choice but to go along with it and put away the storage scroll.
"Captain Yuta, you're too kind."
Be grateful and repay kindness.
Great, I'm very satisfied with this gift.
It was worth all the hard work I put into helping Shota awaken his three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Unfortunately, chakra steel is priceless and hard to find. Collecting even a pound is my father's limit, making it difficult to forge a complete ninja tool. I hope Hiko-nii won't mind."
Kazuhiko quickly waved his hand, "I don't mind, how could I mind?"
Of course, it would be best if one had chakra steel to forge complete ninja tools.
Just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean it won't exist in the future.
I can wait.
"Brother Heyan, did you need something?"
Shisui finally spoke up, looking at Kazuhiko with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Shota is fine after he opens his eyes, but he's not as composed as before.
I have looked into waterstopping:
Before Shota opened his eyes, he was a good listener and somewhat insecure. He would never have interrupted others like he did today, leaving them no chance to get a word in edgewise.
"I've come to ask about the training method for Phantom Body Instantaneous Movement. Achieving multiple phantoms seems a bit difficult. I'd also like to show you the results of my training."
Kazuhiko explained that he had not forgotten the purpose of coming to the training center.
Find Shisui as a sparring partner and quickly fulfill the permanent requirements for Phantom Blink and Perfect Triple Tomoe.
"Phantom Body Flicker? That's Shisui-senpai's famous signature ninjutsu, isn't it?"
Shota, ever the curious one, immediately chimed in.
Shisui nodded, looking at Kazuhiko with curiosity and a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"Multiple illusions... Could it be that Brother Yan has mastered the Phantom Body Technique?"
Phantom Body Flicker, although derived from the Body Flicker Technique, a basic D-rank ninjutsu.
But Shisui knew that the Phantom Body Flicker technique he had developed involved space-time ninjutsu, which was incredibly difficult.
To date, Shisui has taught many companions, including Itachi.
But apart from himself, no one else could master the Phantom Instantaneous Movement.
Kazuhiko nodded and took the initiative to demonstrate his ninjutsu.
Immediately, two physical figures appeared beside him.
"Maintaining two phantom bodies in a blink of an eye for an extended period of time is my limit."
"I've tried to perform more than double-digit Phantom Steps like you, but I simply can't maintain it."
"That's why I came to see you today specifically for this reason."
Shisui was somewhat surprised and uncertain when he saw Kazuhiko use the Phantom Instantaneous Movement technique.
He reached out and made contact with the physical body, and Kazuhiko's body temperature immediately entered his palm.
It really was a phantom teleportation technique!
Zhi Shui's eyes lit up with surprise and delight!

The promise of an extra chapter has been fulfilled.
