Chapter 10: The Depth of the Uchiha!

  "My name is Uchiha Takashi. I enjoy sleeping and pying games. My dream is to grow old peacefully while lying down!"

  Uchiha Takashi shared his dream, which made Minato Namikaze and Kakashi look at him in a new light.

  Unlike others, he didn't dream of becoming Hokage. That sort of thing is just wishful thinking for those not in the Hokage lineage. Even someone as strong as Madara Uchiha never had the chance to ascend to that position. He didn't believe that anyone outside the Hokage lineage could ever sit in that seat.

  This point was proven in the future. Even in the "unburnable" Boruto series, it was still someone from the Hokage lineage who became Hokage. Truly "democratic," isn't it?

  One could say that many aspects of the anime are chilling upon closer inspection.

  After the introductions, Minato Namikaze walked alongside them, expining some basic knowledge about being a full-fledged ninja, such as combat techniques and battlefield traps. These are things that aren't taught in school because they are constantly changing. Relying solely on school teachings can easily lead to unexpected situations.

  The role of a team leader is to use their experience to help newcomers avoid unnecessary detours. It's because of the success of this model that it became the mainstream in the ninja world.

  Uchiha Takashi felt he benefited greatly from this. For example, small tips on hand signs allowed him to perform jutsu faster. These areas were definitely his weak points. The Uchiha cn wouldn't guide him, and no one at school taught him either.

  He even obtained the summoning technique thanks to his family's "White Thigh" connections; otherwise, it would have been impossible.

  Ninjutsu! Only by truly entering the ninja world does one understand how difficult it is to acquire. Schools only teach D-rank jutsu like the "Three Basic Techniques." Those with other jutsu either learned from their cn or from a mentor.

  Therefore, both Uchiha Takashi and Yamakawa Koji listened intently. Only Kakashi wasn't too serious. His father was the renowned "Konoha's White Fang," and he had been trained by him since childhood, so he was already familiar with these things.

  Soon, they arrived at the training ground. Konoha has many training grounds, and you just need to apply in advance. Even the major ninja cns have their own training grounds. These so-called training grounds are just open spaces with throwing targets and wooden stakes.

  Yes, the destructive power of ninjas is too great. If the facilities were too eborate, the repair costs alone would be overwhelming. So, these simple training grounds are the best choice. The key is that there shouldn't be any ordinary vilgers around.

  "Let's begin the test now!"

  Minato Namikaze announced the start of the assessment. If it were any other team leader, they probably wouldn't bother with such trouble. After all, the team leader's duty is just to help newly graduated genin get familiar with the ninja profession. They aren't required to guide them unless they find someone they particurly like.

  But with Minato Namikaze's serious and responsible nature, it's a huge benefit for the students. He genuinely provides guidance and even teaches jutsu. That's why having a good teacher is so important.

  Kunai throwing, physical fitness, close combat techniques, chakra extraction, hand sign speed, the Three Basic Techniques... Every aspect is fundamental for a ninja. It's not enough to just master powerful jutsu. Many strong individuals have lost their lives on the battlefield due to a ck of basic skills.

  The most famous example is Senju Nawaki. Despite being a direct descendant of the Senju cn and having Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, as his teacher, he lost his life to a simple explosive tag trap. His bloodline and status were unmatched, yet his ck of basic skills led to his downfall on the battlefield, highlighting the importance of fundamentals.

  "Alright, I have assessed your abilities. Starting tomorrow, I will create a tailored training pn for each of you!"

  Minato Namikaze looked at the panting group in front of him and made his judgment. Kakashi had the strongest talent, followed by Yamakawa Koji, and the weakest was Uchiha Takashi. It was surprising that he could even master the summoning technique, which is normally impossible. The difficulty of learning it is secondary.

  ### Chapter 10: The Uchiha Heritage!

  The key point is that, given his physical condition, it's completely impossible for him to have so much chakra. He's a civilian! Uchiha Takashi's identity is no secret.

  The surname was only added after marrying into the family, so it's normal for members of the Uchiha cn to be able to perform C-rank jutsu at a young age, but that doesn't mean he can do it too.

  The advantage of ninja cns also lies in their bloodline.

  Ninja cns not only have advantages acquired through training but also significant innate advantages.

  Because they are influenced by the previous generation.

  Of course, even after noticing this, Minato Namikaze didn't voice any questions. A ninja's secrets are not something to be probed.

  That's enough for today.

  The mission will begin tomorrow.

  "Here are your forehead protectors. Congratutions on officially becoming Konoha Genin. Gather in front of the Hokage building tomorrow. Dismissed!"

  After tossing the forehead protectors to them, Minato Namikaze gave the order and left.

  Note, being a ninja is a militarized profession.

  Orders from superiors are absolute.

  Even if it means sending you to your death, you cannot disobey.

  Yes, it's that cold-blooded.

  The White Fang was driven to death precisely because he saved someone during a mission.

  The opponent was a powerful figure with the rank of a Hokage's advisor, someone even the Sannin would bow to, yet he was still driven to death.

  This shows the consequences of not following the rules.

  So, disobedient subordinates can be executed on the spot, and it wouldn't be unjust.

  As for the misuse of power, there's no need to worry.

  Ninjas have ways to uncover the truth, with various secret and illusion techniques ensuring no wrongful accusations.

  After the dismissal, the three of them dispersed and left.

  On a normal day, Uchiha Takashi would definitely return to his rented pce to conduct research.

  But now, he can only return to the cn grounds.

  Even though the Uchiha cn negotiated with the vilge, he still feared Danzo might act against him 'without honor.'

  Upon returning to the cn grounds, a female Uchiha from the main family reminded him.

  "Lady Mei has gone on an urgent mission. Your things have been arranged!"

  The Uchiha cn worships strength.

  They used to look down on Uchiha Takashi because he was a 'failure,' but now that they know he defeated Kakashi, their attitude has naturally improved.

  In the past, they wouldn't have bothered with him at all.

  "Got it, Aunt Mikako!"

  After thanking her, Uchiha Takashi quickly returned to his residence.

  He wasn't surprised that Uchiha Mei went on a mission.

  She is known for being a mission fanatic, otherwise, she wouldn't have become a 'Special Jonin' at such a young age.

  As long as she completes enough missions and her strength improves, she can naturally be promoted to Jonin.

  And in Konoha, the status of a Jonin is worlds apart from a non-Jonin, and they can even vote to decide the Hokage.

  For her to become the rightful head of the family, the prerequisite is to become a Jonin; currently, it's only in name.

  Becoming the head of the family means having power second only to one person, above hundreds, controlling the power of a branch of the family.

  Because of the importance of being the head, it attracts covetous eyes.

  Of course, if you have absolute strength like Madara Uchiha, you can completely suppress the cn by force.

  Upon reaching the basement, Uchiha Takashi was stunned.

  Brand new and exquisite experimental equipment was neatly arranged, along with a rge number of books and scrolls.

  Many of the books and scrolls were from the Uchiha cn.

  As a prestigious cn in the ninja world, the Uchiha's heritage is astounding.

  When Uchiha Takashi pulled out a scroll, he felt like he hit the jackpot.

  **[The Nature and Analysis of Chakra!]**

  And the author of this scroll?

  Madara Uchiha!

  Wow, Uchiha Takashi really wanted to say, wow.

  In terms of understanding chakra, the 'Shura of the Ninja World' surely surpasses the God of Shinobi.

  Senju Hashirama is indeed stronger, but his mind wouldn't be capable of writing something like this.

  Worth it!

  Just this scroll alone is more valuable to Uchiha Takashi than his 'byproducts,' not to mention this is just one piece of the information avaible.

  With great anticipation, he continued to explore.
