Chapter 22: Embarrassed Itachi
Regarding the discussion about him in Konoha, Yuta didn't pay attention to it at all.
Now he just wanted to stay in Konoha, at least until he had the strength of a Jōnin.
The ninja world is too dangerous!
He thought he would encounter Pain, Hanzo, Obito, etc., but he didn't.
But encountering Orochimaru, who had just rebelled was a surprise for him.
Regarding the encounter with Orochimaru, Yuta wanted to keep it a secret from Izumi's family as he didn't want them to worry.
But he was helpless as the news spread from Fugaku to the ears of other clansmen, and then Izumi's family knew about it.
They didn't feel proud, but rather scared for a while.
Especially Izumi, she grabbed Yuta and turned him over and over for a while to check his body for injuries.
Then she finally felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing missing.
"I finally understand why, Yuta, you always say that the ninja world is too dangerous." Izumi said with lingering fears.
It was obviously just a B-rank mission with no difficulty but Yuta inexplicably had to block Orochimaru.
"That Mr. Anbu is too unreasonable, forcing Yuta to do such a dangerous thing."
After listening to Yuta's entire experience, Izumi said angrily.
'That's indeed the case.'
Yuta said so in his heart, but he still coughed twice.
"Be careful, you can say this kind of thing at home, but don't say it outside."
"Also, now, you should obey me obediently, don't think about graduating early. I can guide you to improve your strength."
"I'll strive to make you reach the level of a Jōnin by the time you graduate at the age of 12, and them you will barely have the strength to protect yourself."
Izumi opened her mouth and seemed startled.
"Twelve-year-old Jōnin? How can I do it?"
The Hatake Kakashi that her ninja school's teachers often talked about became a Jōnin at the age of twelve.
"I believe in your potential." Yuta said seriously.
On the night of genocide in the original book, the thirteen year old Izumi's Sharingan had reached the three tomoe level.
It can be seen that Izumi's talent is very good.
Coupled with his daily training, having Jōnin level strength at the age of twelve should be doable.
Just when Izumi said with a bitter face that she couldn't do it, there was a knock on Yuta's door suddenly.
When Yuta went out, he saw a little red face, and that person was slightly panting.
It seemed that it was Itachi who had come running over.
"Yuta, please have a spar with me."
As he spoke, Itachi activated his Sharingan, which he had just awakened.
After he previously lost to Yuta in ninja school, he had been thinking about a rematch every day.
He wanted to fight Yuta again after awakening the sharingan.
But while he was waiting excitedly, Yuta shook his head and refused.
"I'm sorry, I already have a two tomoe sharingan."
As he spoke, he used his Sharingan.
"..."
Itachi opened his mouth wide and looked at the two tomoes in Yuta's right and left eyes respectively.
He felt like a basin of cold water was being poured on his head.
The restlessness before was instantly extinguished.
Without saying a word, he left in despair, not even noticing the Izumi, who was peeking out of Yuta's house.
Back home.
When Itachi saw hia lovely younger brother who was rushing towards him, he came back to his senses, and his mood became much better.
"Big brother, I heard that big brother Yuta who graduated with you seems to have had a fight with some kind of snake."
Sasuke, who was less than three years old, said what he had heard from his father.
"Snake?"
Itachi was a little surprised.
What snake?
"When you were not in the village, Orochimaru rebelled because his human experiments were brought to light." Fugaku came out and said.
"As for what Sasuke said about Yuta, Yuta participated in the operation to block Orochimaru. I heard that he also blocked Orochimaru for a few minutes, and successfully dragged the battle until the Anbu arrived."
"Although he relied on a Forbidden Technique, many people say that he still has the strength of a Chūnin without relying on the Forbidden Technique."
As the clan leader of the Uchiha clam, he was proud of such a genius emerging among his people.
"Intercept... Orochimaru? Chūnin strength..."
Itachi's expression froze again.
The joy that he had firmly suppressed from awakening his sharingan before had completely disappeared at this moment.
...
After the Orochimaru incident, Yuta resumed his day-to-day practice.
And he also told Guy that he hoped to take missions that were in the Land of Fire as much as possible in the future.
Perhaps because of the guilt of the past, Guy directly agreed.
On the contrary, Itachi awakening the sharingan at the age of eight was also spread.
In Konoha, there was another small stir.
Some people even called Yuta and Itachi together as the Uchiha twins.
But this had no effect on Yuta.
After this, Yuta's life became monotonous.
He trained daily, guided Izumi in training daily, and occasionally went out to do a mission.
However, he never encountered such a troublesome thing as the Orochimaru incident again.
Yuta was also relieved a lot.
This day.
Yuta was on the training ground of the Uchiha clan, guiding Izumi's daily training.
A young man with long black hair and sharp eyebrows walked towards him.
"Uchiha Yuta!"
Hearing the sound, Yuta noticed that the tone of the person coming here didn't seem to be very good.
Yuta became puzzled as he hadn't done anything recently, right?
Turning his head, he found that the person approaching was Uchiha Tekka.
When he graduated early, Fugaku said that he would be assigned a mentor Jōnin from the Uchiha clan as well.
He said that if he had any problem in training, he could ask the other party for advice when he had time.
But since graduating early, he doesn't seem to have gone to Uchiha Hogan even once at all.
"Senior Tekka."
Yuta greeted politely.
"There's no need to be so polite."
Tekka waved his hand and got to the point directly.
"The clan leader arranged for me to be your mentor Jōnin, and I should also fulfill my responsibilities."
"However, you kid never came to me once, so I could only come to you myself."
"I heard that the Jonin the village arranged for you, Might Guy, is only good at Taijutsu. How is your performance in other fields, especially the Sharingan?"
Seeing this, Yuta felt like he probably understood the other party's intention.
Maybe because he hadn't asked him for advice, he was worried that he was wasting his talent.
He thought that he might have not focused on the Sharingan, right?
So, Tekka probably came this time to investigate his progress.
