"The next task is very, very important. I leave it all to you."

"Don't worry, meow. I promise I won't turn down the heat and cool the soup, and I definitely won't turn up the heat and ruin the pot."

“But be careful. Once the soup cools down, the flavors will no longer blend together, and the umami flavor will not reach its peak. If the pot is overcooked, the ingredients will roll around, disrupting the order of mixing, and the taste will also become weird.”

"Don't worry, meow. Miwa Masayo is not stupid."

"Stupid cat, I'm worried about you, don't you know? I'm worried that you'll be overwhelmed by the smell and your soul will be sucked into the jar, forgetting to watch the fire."

"No, no, meow... last time doesn't count,... the time before that doesn't count either... last time..."

"I won't do that this time. I'm already a cat fairy!"

"Okay, I believe you."

…

At the riverside training ground, after basic physical training, Uchiha You arranged everyone's training plans, and then kept a close eye on Uchiha Shisui.

"Shisui, pause your chakra here for a moment, then shift it a little to the left."

"Brother You, is there anything wrong with me?"

"From the perspective of past ninja training, you don't have any problems here, but in my opinion, it is an area that can be improved."

"Yes, Brother You."

"It's a good change, what do you think?"

"I have to keep paying attention here, but there is nothing special."

Uchiha Obito was immediately amused, perhaps because he felt that he had finally caught Uchiha You's mistake, and he laughed wildly and said, "I don't feel anything even if I deliberately modified it, it must be wrong."

Uchiha You said nothing, but Shinichi pulled Obito away: "Obito, there is nothing special when you are unfamiliar, but won't you become faster and stronger when you are proficient?"

"Ah? Is that so?" Obito was shocked and asked with his neck stiff, "Yu, why did you only teach such a good thing to your brother Shisui and not care about us?"

"You are not doing a good job as a big brother, right?"

Uchiha You glanced at him and said, "You don't have time to learn, Obito. Your entire team, and all the ninjas over ten years old in Konoha Village, don't have time."

"What are you talking about?"

"This kind of modification is different from instinctive habits. It takes enough time to slowly develop new habits. It will take at least two years to completely stop being distracted. The war is coming, and there is no time."

Everyone fell silent and then redoubled their efforts in training.

When the training ended in the evening, Uchiha Shisui grabbed Uchiha You who was pretending to leave, which made him very satisfied. He felt that it was worth it to show off such an important technique today.

"Shisui, what do you want?"

"Brother You, I have some questions for you."

"A lot of questions?"

"It's those chakra techniques you taught me today."

"That's a lot..." Uchiha You was thinking about the big earthenware pot at home and the tabby cat that was easily attracted by the fragrance. "Then come with me, we can talk while we walk. I just happened to have something delicious at home, so I'll treat you to a good meal."

Uchiha Shisui was stunned, remembering the clan leader's instructions to maintain a good relationship with Uchiha You, and Elder Setsuna's request to try to meet the cat hermit Miwa Masayo.

So he nodded and agreed.

"Brother You, you are very strong now, right?"

"Brother Shisui, who told you that? If I were strong enough, I should be a jonin like Hatake Kakashi."

"But you know so much. I can feel that I have become much stronger in just two days."

"That's because you have a good talent. Look at your brother Obito. I'm talking till my mouth is dry, but he still can't tread water."

"Obito-nii… hey, he's an exception."

"By the way, how did you discover the technique of running chakra? It seems that there is no such knowledge in the clan."

"Yes, how could there not be? I can't just imagine it out of thin air."

"In the family's storage room, there are various records of the Uchiha family's ancestors. Many powerful ninjas have recorded the limitations of chakra operation."

"Is that so? I didn't even know that the family had such a great place."

"Because a lot of the essential information in this place has been lost. When you grow up, ask the clan leader for the specific reason."

"The knowledge I found is hidden in countless records. It is very difficult to find. It is difficult to discover these treasures without sorting them out."

"Brother You, it must have taken you a long time to find it."

"Of course. I've been reading in the storage room since I was four years old. How many years has it been now?"

“…”

"Shisui, the chakra circulation technique I taught you is very important. You must keep practicing it."

"Don't worry, Brother You."

"I'm worried! Your biggest problem is that you are easily influenced by others. You believe everything anyone says. Believe it or not, Elder Shanshan will say that what I taught you is worthless and will firmly oppose your training..."

Uchiha You grabbed Shisui's ear with his fingers and said, "I can tell now that you will definitely hesitate at that time, hehe."

"No."

"Okay, let's make a bet. If you hesitate, you will have to fulfill one of my requests in the future. If you don't hesitate at all and firmly believe in me, I will teach you a very cool and powerful ninjutsu."

"Okay, it's a deal! I'm sure to win!"

After the training, Uchiha Yu invited Shisui to his home, and the reason was delicious food.

Uchiha Shisui readily agreed.

When they got near the clan's territory, Shisui was surprised to find that everyone greeted Uchiha Yuu, and he could call out everyone's name.

Uchiha You could even accurately guess where a certain naughty boy was hiding, and he and the boy's mother found the little fool in no time.

The child thus had a complete childhood experience.

Uchiha Yuu received a round of laughter and some childish cursing.

Uchiha Shisui watched all this without blinking, the envy in his eyes almost flowing out.

Why was Shisui noticed by everyone? Because his grandfather was called Uchiha Kagami, and more importantly, he was a genius at that time, but the most important thing was that he was an orphan whose parents had both died.

Very useful and easy to control.

The actions of several high-ranking members of the Uchiha clan were basically the same tricks that the Third Hokage played on Uzumaki Naruto, but they were not as disgusting. They were proud Uchiha, and they could not take away the children's property, force the children into desperate situations, and then use a little bit of favors to win over the hearts of the people.

That's so mean.

Fugaku, Setsuna, Shiho, Kensaku, and Hideyuki hope that Shisui will agree with their ideas and become a future star in their camp by instilling their own philosophy.

But it has to be said that this bunch of old men, and Fugaku, who is even more conservative than the old men, have no idea how outdated their ideas are, how condescending their attitudes are, and how much disgust they will cause among the children when they are indoctrinated.

Although the Third Hokage's actions were despicable, he was willing to humble himself and use a service attitude to play the emotional and ideal cards with the children. In particular, his binary division of right and wrong was an effective dimensionality reduction attack.

No wonder geniuses like Shisui and Itachi became someone else's people.

The top leaders of the Uchiha clan have failed to keep up with the times and are destined to be eliminated by the times.

However, Uchiha You does not think that the Uchiha clan needs to be eliminated through such a tragic way as genocide, and that there is no life-and-death enemy conflict in Konoha Village.

The happy atmosphere completely disappeared as they approached home. The atmosphere in the entire neighborhood was extremely tense. Someone even yelled at Uchiha You: "You! This must be your fault!!"
