Chapter 9: How to raise a child

Inner wheel house.

Although they moved to a new yard, after all the luggage was moved from the temporary storage area, Izumi continued to practice what she believed to be "the basics of becoming a ninja student" in the yard just like before the move.

Well, as she thought, actually, becoming a ninja student doesn't require any basics, and what she is practicing now... doesn't look like what Zhen Cod said, 'she hasn't started practicing chakra yet'.

Although, she actually had not really studied chakra extraction systematically, but simply...had heard some random "bragging" in the town, and then summarized the method of extracting chakra based on her own understanding. If this behavior is only discussed, it is actually not that special. After all, generally speaking, the means for wandering ninjas to obtain the method of extracting chakra is nothing more than listening to it from others.

After all, if it comes to extracting chakra, it is not a difficult thing for talented people. People who are born with strong spiritual and physical energy can actually find it very easy to convert chakra. For example, Izuna succeeded. However, she did not know that this thing that could make her stronger and run faster was the chakra that her brother had mentioned. She only thought that it had not been extracted yet but would be soon.

Even Shinji didn't know that Izuna had extracted the chakra.

"Good, Izuna, your movements are very skillful, no worse than some ninja students I saw in the ninja school today." Managi, who had just returned home, smiled when he saw that Izuna was still so passionate about training.

"No matter what the ninja profession is like, being able to choose a goal and work hard for it is a good thing anyway." At least that's what Shinji thought, so even when he had a certain misunderstanding of the ninja's work model and believed that this profession was very bad, he still unconditionally supported his sister's actions.

"Brother, you're back!" Izuna immediately pounced in front of Maneko. In fact, this speed was far beyond the speed of ordinary ninja trainees and even some Genin, but Maneko was completely unaware of it.

The reason is very simple. Although he has a relatively good understanding of the plot, he has not specifically read too many settings. His knowledge about ninjas basically comes from the manga and animation "Naruto", which leads to his judgment of many things based on the pictures of the plot.

For example... Chakra.

"When I was at the ninja school today, I discovered that even some children who looked to be eight or nine years old still didn't know how to use chakra to fight, so Izuna, you shouldn't be that far behind."

"Chakra... I can't extract the blue energy that my brother talked about..." Izuna lowered her head in frustration. The so-called blue energy is the "chakra" in Manabu's eyes.

As for chakra, Shinji knew the general principle and knew that it was a mixture of physical energy and spiritual energy, but he always thought that chakra was a special energy that could directly show specific colors, because he remembered clearly that chakra was colored in anime. So he thought that only when such colored energy was extracted could it be called "extracting chakra", but when the ninja was not fighting, there was no need to keep extracting.

If the Hyuga clan ninjas heard this understanding, they would probably touch their Byakugan in silence. After all, if ordinary chakra really had color, the effect of their Byakugan would probably be greatly reduced. And Shin Cod obviously didn't consider so many things, and even firmly believed in this point of view.

Because when Shinji became a ninja, that is, when he activated the 'Uchiha Madara [Founder of Konoha]' experience card, he was able to easily 'extract' the 'blue chakra' and let it stay on his hands like in the animation. As for the possibility that this 'blue chakra' might be Susanoo, he had never even considered it, because in his understanding, Susanoo must at least be a 'skeleton', how could it appear in the form of a simple energy ball or energy block?

He even found a lot of evidence to support this view, such as his body which had already opened the two-magatama Sharingan. If he wanted to open the Sharingan, it would be very painful, which was obviously the result of lack of chakra. This proved that he had no chakra at ordinary times, so he could not extract that kind of "blue" energy no matter what.

"Oh right! That jutsu that my brother mentioned before, the one that the Fourth Hokage mastered, that can run to the thrown kunai in the blink of an eye and launch a second attack! It seems that Izuna has already learned it!"

"Huh?" Upon hearing what Izuna said, Mancod was stunned, because when he talked about this with Izuna before, he described it according to the 'Flying Thunder God Stage 2', which means 'the caster throws a kunai with the Flying Thunder God style at the enemy, then instantly moves to the position of the style kunai and coordinates other ninjutsu to attack the opponent'.

However, because he was afraid that Izuna would not be able to understand what teleportation was, he used the word "run" to describe it. In fact, from Manabu's perspective, this was simply telling a story to his sister, not "teaching his sister to practice."

But this led to a problem. At the beginning, no matter how hard Izuna tried, she couldn't run to the kunai in the blink of an eye after throwing it. So as she practiced... she realized something.

While Mana was confused, Izuna demonstrated everything she had just said in full. She quickly threw a kunai tied with a highly durable and elastic rubber rope forward, and at a speed that was almost invisible to ordinary eyes, she instantly followed the line of the rubber rope to the location of the kunai and grabbed the kunai.

If there was a jonin with strong theoretical knowledge standing nearby, he would probably be amazed that this child had mastered the rudiments of the instant body-flickering technique at such a young age.

But Zhen Cod didn't understand any of this. He just thought that his sister ran really fast.

"She was able to run over and catch the kunai in such a short time after it was thrown... Is Izuna's physical fitness so good? If she can refine chakra in the future..."

After the performance, Izuna immediately looked like she was expecting praise from Manabu.

"Ahem, in general, without chakra, this should be very good. I think tomorrow's test should be no problem at all."

"Transfer assessment?" Izuna showed a puzzled expression, but soon she understood, "Wait a minute! Brother, have you already negotiated with the school?"

"Of course! Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Ninja School together again. By then, as long as you can show your level, you will definitely be able to successfully enter the Ninja School and become a first-year transfer student!"

……

In the evening, the Uchiwa family welcomed the first guest since moving to Konoha, and this guest was none other than the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, the leader of the Konoha Ninja Village.

What was different from before was that this time Sarutobi Hiruzen did not take off the Hokage's hat.

"This... Lord Hokage? Come in and sit down." Shinji was a little surprised to see Sarutobi Hiruzen coming in his work clothes, but he didn't really get nervous, because he thought that since it was the Sandaime himself who came instead of the Anbu or the Root, it meant that he was definitely not here to cause trouble, so he might as well be polite. (Even businessmen there call customers "Lord")

"Hahaha, are you surprised? An old man who looks nothing special is actually the Kage of this village." After entering the house, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled amiably. If you ignore his attire and the huge amount of chakra in his body, it seems that he is really just an ordinary old man as he said.

However, after carefully observing Shincod's expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen discovered that the other party seemed to have known him for a long time, "Could it be that I was recognized yesterday?"

"Well, actually, your portrait has appeared in many places, and sometimes I see people selling your portrait in the market, so I have a certain impression of it. Although I didn't pay attention when we met yesterday, I had such a guess after accidentally seeing the Hokage Rock. Now it seems... you are really the Third Hokage of Konoha."

The portrait appears elsewhere, referring to the Naruto manga.

"I see. I didn't expect that besides Hokage Rock, I could also increase my popularity in the Land of Fire in this way..." Sarutobi Hiruzen believed it. In fact, he seldom left Konoha, and he didn't have the intelligence about other areas of the Land of Fire to the extent that he knew exactly what was sold in the market. After all, no ninja would be bored enough to write down everything sold in the market in the report to be submitted to the Hokage. However, the main reason was that the statement of Hokage Rock was convincing enough. After all, although the carving of Hokage Rock did not look like him now, it could still be barely connected.

Afterwards, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again studied Shincod's face, but in the end, he sighed and said, "In fact, Uchirin-kun's appearance also reminds me of an old friend, a very famous old friend in the Land of Fire. Of course, if that person is still alive, he probably wouldn't remember that there was a kid like me who seemed very insignificant to him at the time."

The old friend that the Third Hokage was talking about was naturally Uchiha Madara. Of course, he also knew that calling Uchiha Madara an old friend was a bit high-minded. According to Uchiha Madara's personality, the only person in the entire ninja world who could catch his eye was actually Senju Hashirama.

"You can just call me Shinji. As for that old friend who looks a lot like me...can I ask what kind of person he is?" In fact, Shinji could probably guess who the Third Hokage was referring to, but he couldn't just say, 'I know I look a lot like Uchiha Madara and we have the same name.'

Hearing this question from Manabu, Sarutobi Hiruzen also fell into memory, "He was the one who co-founded Konoha with the first Hokage, but for some unknown reason betrayed their ideals. His name is Uchiha Madara. Manabu, you should have heard of this name, after all, your names..."

"As for the name, it's indeed very similar. To be honest, sometimes folks in the town would tease me and say that I'm the reincarnation of Uchiha Madara, which is quite distressing. After all, although Uchiha Madara seems to be very strong, he seems to be a 'villain'." Zhen Cod looked helpless.

This time he was not lying. Some people in the town really said that he was the reincarnation of Uchiha Madara. They were a group of thugs. After hearing the name of Zhen Cod, they wanted to bully Zhen Cod, the "brat-headed store manager" with the same name as the legendary big man, to make their presence felt. Then, Zhen Cod used an eternal kaleidoscope-level illusion to control him and made him run naked from the east end of the town to the west end. Afterwards, those people never appeared again. Zhen Cod guessed that they probably moved to another place to live.

"Reincarnation? Maybe it's true." Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to take a puff of cigarette to relax, but just as he took out his pipe and filled it with cigarettes, he suddenly heard an explosion.

"Huh? This is it?"

"Um... this is my sister playing with Exploding Talismans." Speaking of this, Shinji also had a headache. His sister seemed to have the habit of tying Exploding Talismans on shurikens. This natural tactical thinking was quite good, but he always felt that this was a bit dangerous for her at this age, especially today. This was the first time that Izuna used an Exploding Talisman outside of Shinji's field of vision. Usually, he would watch from the sidelines when doing such expensive and dangerous things.

"Um, Hokage-sama, can I excuse myself for a moment? I'm a little worried about the child's condition."

"Play?" Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen was speechless for a moment, his desire to teach as a ninjutsu professor finally jumped out, "Detonating Talismans are a bit too dangerous as toys. Can you let me watch how the child usually 'plays'?"

He was really worried that a child who was only six years old and probably had never received formal ninja training might cause trouble while playing with the explosive tags.

"Of course, it would be an honor for Izuna if he could receive guidance from Lord Hokage." Shinji didn't think much about it. After all, the Third Hokage was really a famous ninjutsu professor. Maybe the children he trained had acquired some bad habits, but his education level in ninjutsu was definitely high enough.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw a six-year-old girl shouting: "Ninja Technique: Explosive Shuriken" and then blew a big hole in the yard. Fortunately, the detonating tag bought by Shin Cod seemed to be far less powerful than the one that often appeared in wars, but the noise was too early for a six-year-old child.

He looked at Zhen Cod with a puzzled look, as if to say, "Do you usually ignore this kid when he makes such a big fuss?"

Obviously, Zhen Cod didn't get the meaning. After confirming that Izuna was not in danger, his first reaction was even: "Izuna, we have neighbors around where we live now, so we can't practice this at home anymore. Remember?"

"That's right! Doing this will affect the neighbors! Izunai has to be a good girl, so she won't do this again in the future!"

Hearing this conversation, even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but sweat, "Shouldn't we be concerned about the impact on the neighbors at this time?"

At this time, Izuna finally noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hey? Grandpa, you are really..." Izuna began to panic. Her dream was to become a ninja, and although she didn't understand much about Hokage, she knew that this was the strongest ninja and the highest official in a village.

"Ahem..." Hearing Izuna's voice, Sarutobi Hiruzen recovered from his stunned state.

He began to look at Izuna carefully, and then he found that this child looked like he had already practiced chakra. Although he didn't have the Byakugan, based on his experience of visiting ninja schools from time to time over the years, he thought he was quite good at judging the level of children. "Child, have you... learned ninjutsu?"

Izuna first glanced at Zhencod, and when Zhencod nodded to indicate that she should answer truthfully, she answered with full energy: "Yes, Izuna not only learned the technique of wielding shuriken, but also created a Izuna-ryu ninjutsu!"

"Oh? You've already learned your own ninjutsu at such a young age?" In fact, until this point, the Third Hokage was still a little unconvinced. He had seen many children's 'own ninjutsu', such as the 'Shuriken: Throw All Outwards Technique' that his disciple Jiraiya 'developed' when he was a child. It was hard to say whether that kind of thing could be considered a ninjutsu.

Then, he saw... the prototype of a teleportation technique.

That was the technique that Izuna had shown to Mayuko during the day, which was to move quickly along the rope that tied the kunai.

The so-called instant body technique is a general term for all techniques in the ninja world that can achieve the effect of instant body movement. It is not limited to a single ninja technique. Even if it is not fast enough, the technique that Izumi just used can be called the "Kunai Instant Body Technique".

'This child's talent is probably close to that of Kagami's grandson...' A child who could master the rudiments of the body-flickering technique at the age of six was rare, even in a place like Konoha where talented people abounded. Now, Sarutobi Hiruzen really had a love for talent.

"Unfortunately, I no longer have enough time to train a child from scratch... But, I can teach him some shuriken techniques."

His impromptu teaching ran into problems right from the start.

"Hmm? You said you haven't refined your chakra yet?"

"Yes, my brother said that chakra is a kind of blue energy that can be seen, but ninjas seem to only use it in battle."

"Ah?" The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen expressed his doubts about ninja knowledge for the first time in his life.

"Am I a fake Ninjutsu professor?"
