"I'll start eating!" x3
Inside a Barbecue Restaurant run by a member of the Uchiha clan, three young voices chimed in unison.
It was already half past five in the afternoon. Uchiha Tetsu, Flame, and Fuyu Shirou, who had rested all afternoon, gathered in this Barbecue Restaurant, full of energy. They didn't look like they had just been through a grueling battle.
Of course, their teacher, Uchiha Shige, was also present. He was currently twitching his eyes as he looked at the mountain of ingredients on the table, unable to help but complain:
"Fuyu Shirou, do you really need to order so much? This is enough for six adults. If we can't finish it, Uncle Daikai won't give us a refund!"
"Don't worry, Teacher Shige. My appetite is quite large. Instead of worrying about not finishing it, you should consider whether your wallet is thick enough," Fuyu Shirou replied, his mouth full as he used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of sizzling beef from the charcoal fire and stuff it into his mouth.
The taste of this Barbecue Restaurant was pretty good. Although it wasn't as famous as the renowned Barbecue Q, the difference wasn't significant. Besides, it was run by a family member, so of course they would prioritize it.
At this moment, most of the diners in the restaurant, except for a few tables of ordinary Konoha villagers, were guests from the Uchiha clan.
"Uncle Daikai, bring us a dozen Watermelon Juices to cut the richness, and a bottle of Beer for our teacher. It will calm him down!"
Fuyu Shirou, showing no caution in front of an adult, took the lead in making the request. He even ordered a bottle of Beer for his teacher without asking.
Since he had the chance to treat his teacher to a meal, he wouldn't be the least bit polite. His wallet had been shrinking lately, so he had to be frugal. In desperation, he could only make his teacher suffer a bit.
"Hey, you three brats, don't eat so fast! The barbecue is right here, and no one will snatch it from you!"
Before he could refuse Fuyu Shirou's offer, he looked down at the barbecue on the grill. It had almost been entirely devoured by these three brats, with not a single piece left for him.
It wasn't that he was stingy about the money; he was just trying to look out for them, worried they might choke from eating too quickly.
"Teacher, you're too fussy. Instead of nagging, you should put more meat on the grill. That way, you won't be left with nothing when you want to eat later!"
Flame, being more considerate, reminded him, although her hands didn't stop. She picked up a piece of barbecue, dipped it in the sauce, and glanced back, seemingly waiting for the drinks to arrive.
"Oh! It's Shige! It's been a long time since you visited the Barbecue Restaurant after getting married!" The owner, Daikai, sent over a dozen Watermelon Juices and a bottle of Beer and came over to greet them, not forgetting to tease Shige.
The owner, Uchiha Daikai, had been running this Barbecue Restaurant for over 30 years. With business improving in recent years, he had hired two helpers to serve as waiters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the leisure to chat with Shige and joke with the guests.
"Ah! Uncle Daikai! After getting married... it's really... hahaha..."
Seeing his teacher's poor performance, Fuyu Shirou couldn't help but comment on his fear of his wife. At the same time, he didn't stop his actions, reaching for the last piece of barbecue on the grill with his chopsticks.
"This one is mine!" x3
Before Fuyu Shirou could put the meat in his bowl, two more pairs of chopsticks reached out simultaneously. The three of them refused to yield, their gazes clashing fiercely.
Teenagers don't know how to be polite!
"You three, that's enough!"
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Three sounds of heads hitting something hard echoed.
"Ouch!" x3
Fuyu Shirou and the others clutched their heads, moaning in pain. They had no time to care about the barbecue on the grill!
"You're really full of energy! Bring another dozen Watermelon Juices, as a welcome gift for these three ninjas!"
Without giving Shige and Fuyu Shirou a chance to refuse, Daikai left with a casual remark.
"By the way, Fuyu Shirou, did you use the One-Handed Seal during the battle this morning?" As the gathering neared its end, Uchiha Shige took a sip of his Beer and casually asked.
Even Uchiha Flame and Tetsu, who were nearly full, slowed their actions, perking up their ears to listen.
"Ah! Teacher, you noticed? I can only use it for simple techniques like the Three Body Techniques and Body Flicker, but not for something like the Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
Fuyu Shirou didn't hide it, openly admitting it and giving a detailed introduction of his current progress with the One-Handed Seal.
[So Fuyu Shirou has already reached this level?]
[You need to work harder, 'Flame.' You're the best.]
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Flame suddenly felt that the barbecue wasn't as delicious. She had been the best during the family's pre-school training, but she never expected that Fuyu Shirou had already mastered the One-Handed Seal.
As the family's beloved daughter, she was allowed to enter her father's study. Although she had only heard about the One-Handed Seal, she had deeply engraved it in her memory.
"By the way, what is the One-Handed Seal?"
Unlike Flame and Fuyu Shirou, Tetsu's knowledge was relatively simple. He had never heard of the One-Handed Seal, a high-level technique that few could perform.
Hearing this, Flame rolled her eyes but still explained:
"When a ninja uses Ninjutsu, they first perform a Hand Seal. The Hand Seal needs to be done with a calm mind to ensure its correctness and requires skill to convert the extracted chakra into a technique. Most Hand Seals require both hands, but some ninjas, through rigorous training or exceptional talent, can perform Ninjutsu with one hand. This is the One-Handed Seal."
After explaining, Flame glanced at Fuyu Shirou and took a sip of her Watermelon Juice to calm her surprise.
"Fuyu Shirou, if you can use the One-Handed Seal, you can perform two Ninjutsu at the same time, right? That's amazing! Can you teach me?"
Uchiha Tetsu didn't know what it meant to be polite.
Hearing about such a powerful Hand Seal technique, he immediately asked Fuyu Shirou to teach him.
"Cough!"
Hearing this, Flame, who had just taken a sip of Watermelon Juice, couldn't hold back. How could someone ask about the secrets of a One-Handed Seal, a hidden technique, so casually?
Even within the same family, some secrets are kept from each other.
When I first started writing, I was a bit lost. The past 20-30 chapters weren't too satisfactory, so bear with them. I feel the chapters after chapter 120 are better.
