Chapter 9: The Calm Before the Storm (Signed Contract)
PS: Signed the contract, please support.
By the time Qianye arrived at Uchiha Izumi's house, it was already completely dark.
"Qianye-kun, you're too slow." As soon as Qianye entered, Uchiha Izumi greeted him, like a housewife, brushing off the snow from his body and untying his scarf and coat.
"Sorry, sorry, I was delayed by something." Qianye apologized as he took off his Ninja boots. He had to admit, these shoes weren't great. Although they were comfortable to wear, they exposed his toes. If he didn't have Tiangang skill protecting him, he probably wouldn't be used to wearing them.
"Never mind, it's good that you're here." Uchiha Izumi prepared a pair of slippers for Qianye. "You sit by the kotatsu for a bit, I'll go warm up the food."
As she spoke, Uchiha Izumi carried the dishes from the table into the kitchen.
Qianye, meanwhile, sat idly by the futon, activating his cultivation technique, continuously releasing his Perception to check his surroundings. After confirming that no one was monitoring him, he finally turned his attention to the system.
"System, open my personal panel."
"Ding, Loli-Con panel opening."
"Host: Fujiwara Chiye"
"Gender: Male"
"Age: 11 years old"
"Chakra Attributes: Fire, Lightning, Earth, Yin, Yang"
"Chakra Volume: 30 cards"
"Secret Techniques: Tiangang skill (has reached the fourth level, comes with protective True Qi and Flash skill)"
"Ninjutsu: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Three Body Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Summoning Technique (no summoned beast yet)"
"Genjutsu: Mirror Flower Water Moon (enemy only needs to see the Shikai once, no need to interfere with Chakra, can directly act on the soul, control the five senses, spiritual power sensing, etc., can also control Chakra sensing in the Naruto World)"
"Taijutsu: Konoha Basic Taijutsu, Tiangang skill's inherent moves, Uchiha Style Shuriken Throwing, kunai Throwing."
"Chakra Nature Transformation: Fire, Lightning, Earth"
"Warehouse: zanpakuto Mirror Flower Water Moon, kunai × 15, shuriken × 11, various clothing, space storage scroll, substitution jutsu × 9"
""
Looking at the system panel in front of him, Qianye was slightly stunned and murmured in his heart, "When did I gain Yin and Yang Chakra attributes, and this massive Chakra volume? Is it because of the Tiangang skill?"
Qianye stopped the cultivation technique, exited Sage Mode, and was surprised to find that his Chakra attributes had reverted to Fire, Lightning, and Earth.
And his Chakra volume had shrunk to 3 cards, meaning that the fourth level of Tiangang skill, while increasing his basic Chakra volume, also provided him with an additional nearly tenfold increase in Chakra volume.
"It seems that in the near future, I, Fujiwara, will also be able to become a Chakra ton." Thinking this, Qianye looked thoughtfully at Uchiha Izumi, who was busy in the kitchen, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
Speaking of which, there were less than two years left until the Uchiha clan massacre, and Uchiha Shisui would soon return from the Hidden Mist Village border.
By then, Uchiha Shisui would surely be naive enough to reveal his Mangekyo Sharingan abilities to the Konoha higher-ups.
And then have his eyes taken by Danzo.
At that time, it would be time for him to take action.
Winter passed and spring came, bringing another season of warmth and blooming flowers.
Qianye was in his sixth year, and the Ninja School welcomed a new batch of students.
"Where the Konoha dances, fire will continue to burn. The firelight will illuminate the Village and make new trees sprout. The fire will never fade."
On the podium, Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, as usual, tirelessly instilled the fire will into the new students through a speech on the first day of school.
In the sixth-grade classroom, Qianye stood by the window, looking down at everything below, secretly despising it in his heart.
Still illuminating the Village and making new trees sprout.
Good heavens, burning all of Konoha to illuminate you, the Third Hokage, and make the Sarutobi family sprout.
If he hadn't seen the Fourth Shinobi World War, where the Sarutobi family formed a whole army corps, he might have actually believed this Old man.
Hiruzen Sarutobi... You have already decayed, becoming a Woodworms that only knows how to extract from the great tree of Konoha.
"What are you looking at, Qianye-kun?" Uchiha Izumi walked to Qianye's side, looking at his deep, dark eyes, and paused slightly. After realizing it wasn't a Shadow Clone, she said with some surprise, "Oh, you actually came by yourself today."
"Nothing... I occasionally need to come and see."
Qianye chuckled and shook his head, his gaze sweeping over Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Sakura Haruno, Nara Shikamaru, Ino Yamanaka, Akimichi Choji, Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Shino Aburame on the playground outside the window, then returning to his seat.
Speaking of which, including Hyuga Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee, who enrolled last year, all twelve Konoha Genin were present.
"Qianye-kun, do you have something on your mind recently? Since the New Year, I always feel like you've been down." Uchiha Izumi sat next to Qianye and said with some concern.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just lamenting how quickly time flies. In the blink of an eye, six years have passed, and even Sasuke, who was in Uchiha Itachi's arms back then, has enrolled." Qianye chuckled.
"Qianye-kun, it's impolite to give people nicknames! I've told you how many times, his name is Sasuke, Uchiha Sasuke, not some Sasuke." Uchiha Izumi corrected him.
"Okay, Uchiha Sasuke." Qianye smiled.
"Never mind, call him whatever you want, but you absolutely cannot let our clan leader hear it!" Seeing Qianye's mischievous expression, Uchiha Izumi sighed helplessly and whispered into Qianye's ear.
Changing the subject, she returned to their previous topic: "But Qianye-kun, if you have anything on your mind, you must tell me immediately!"
As she said this, she held Qianye's hand affectionately.
"Definitely." Qianye's gaze drifted out the window, and he whispered in his heart, *Sorry, Izumi, it's better if you don't know about what's coming.*
At five in the afternoon, Ninja Academy dismissed classes.
Qianye uncharacteristically didn't go to cultivate, but instead chose to walk Uchiha Izumi home.
"Qianye-kun, it's been a long time since we walked home from school together!" Uchiha Izumi quickly walked in front of Qianye, placed her hands on her lower back, leaned her upper body slightly forward, and smiled as she walked backward.
"Yes, it has been quite a while." Qianye walked to Uchiha Izumi's side, and the two walked side by side: "From now on, until graduation, I'll walk you home every day."
"Really?" Uchiha Izumi's face lit up with joy. Although Qianye being able to walk her home every day made her very happy, Qianye had been too abnormal recently. She always felt that something bad was going to happen and asked with some worry, "But don't you need to cultivate? Is this really okay?"
"It's fine, it won't take that long." Qianye chuckled.
As soon as his voice fell, a childish yet tsundere voice sounded from behind him, "Hmph, you finally realize the gap between you and my brother, don't you! No matter how much you cultivate, you'll never catch up to my brother."
