By the time Tsunade arrived at the Hokage's Office, Third Hokage and Uchiha Fugaku were already there.
After seeing the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, Tsunade couldn't help clicking her tongue inwardly. She felt the Old Man was really sticking his nose into things.
"Tsunade, you know why I called you here, right? Why did you attack Uchiha Yoichi in the village just now?"
Third Hokage spoke to Tsunade with a solemn expression. He had just given Uchiha Fugaku a little warning that he could not attack fellow villagers, only for his own student to turn around and attack Uchiha Yoichi.
One of the Sannin chasing a Uchiha Chunin all over the village, nearly running outside the compound?
When Third Hokage heard the news, he was so shocked that he almost dropped his crystal ball on the floor.
If the Anbu could receive the news, then the Security Force could receive it too. In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Tsunade had been too impulsive. She had completely overlooked her own status.
"Lady Tsunade, if Yoichi has offended you in some way, I'll have Yoichi come to your door and apologize."
Uchiha Fugaku spoke up at this moment. His words left Tsunade somewhat unable to save face.
The other party had admitted fault first, and the person who had offended her was Uchiha Yoichi. Tsunade couldn't very well show Uchiha Fugaku a hostile expression.
"It doesn't matter. This has nothing to do with your Uchiha Clan. It's a personal matter between me and that brat!"
Tsunade then clicked her tongue and said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Old Man, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. I already told you about this before. As for today, I was indeed impulsive, but that brat was the one who spouted nonsense first. That's why I lost my temper."
With that, Tsunade left directly.
Her departure left Hiruzen Sarutobi somewhat awkward. Of his three students, Tsunade had the worst temper. Whenever she got anxious, she would even show him a hostile expression during the Jonin Conference.
However, every Jonin in Konoha knew about this, so Uchiha Fugaku simply looked down at his nose and pretended not to notice.
"Fugaku, Tsunade really did tell me about this before, but I was a little busy at the time and forgot."
Hiruzen Sarutobi then explained to Uchiha Fugaku that Uchiha Yoichi knew the Nintaijutsu called Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Using Lightning Release Chakra to activate cells and increase one's speed was a common technique, but Lightning Release Chakra Mode was a secret technique of the Cloud Ninja.
Uchiha Fugaku slightly furrowed his brows when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Lord Hokage, some time ago, Yoichi taught himself a second Chakra nature transformation and already learned Cellular Activation. As for Lightning Release Chakra Mode, there must be some misunderstanding."
Uchiha Yoichi's Sharingan could not lie, and his life in Konoha had been fully accounted for. It was impossible for him to be a Cloud Ninja spy.
Even if he really knew Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it was possible that Uchiha Yoichi had obtained it by coincidence.
Uchiha Fugaku recalled that Uchiha Yoichi had once encountered an elite Cloud Ninja squad during a mission. Of the four-man Chunin squad, he alone had survived, and he had even brought back intelligence about the Cloud Ninja's operation.
If Uchiha Yoichi had truly obtained the chance to acquire Lightning Release Chakra Mode, it would have been during that mission.
"Yes, I also believe Uchiha Yoichi isn't a spy. This may really have been a coincidence. Fugaku, I'll leave it to you to communicate with Yoichi, while I'll appease Tsunade."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said this with a kindly smile.
Uchiha Fugaku nodded. "I understand, Third Lord."
"That crazy woman. Shouldn't she be immersed in grief and gambling right now? Why does she look at me like I'm her sworn enemy the moment she sees me?"
After returning home, Uchiha Yoichi relaxed somewhat. This was the Uchiha compound. No matter how arrogant Tsunade was, she would never charge into the compound.
As for what had happened earlier, he simply hadn't had the chance to return to the compound. The Uchiha compound was not very welcoming to outsiders, so after asking Kakashi to be his Kenjutsu sparring partner, he had gone to train in the forest on the edge of the village.
"I caused quite a commotion in the village just now. The Anbu might come knocking soon, but I can't undergo questioning in this condition."
"This Eavesdrop on Honest Young Master ability needs to be dealt with too. If I keep talking nonstop, the first person it'll get killed is me."
Uchiha Yoichi thought of several ways to restrict this ability and decided to try them out.
After using it so many times, Uchiha Yoichi had gained a fairly thorough understanding of this Superpower Roulette. Its abilities followed fixed rules, but they were not impossible to restrict.
Uchiha Yoichi took some paper and a pen, then left home to find someone at random and test the ability.
After walking around the compound for a short while, Uchiha Yoichi suddenly saw two familiar people: Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin.
"Senior Yoichi!"
Uchiha Obito also spotted Uchiha Yoichi. He immediately waved at him, then walked over with Nohara Rin.
Uchiha Yoichi had not the slightest bit of fondness for Uchiha Obito.
The Uchiha were already somewhat extreme by nature, and Uchiha Obito was an outstanding example among them—practically a light switch with only two settings.
But since he had happened to run into them, Uchiha Yoichi decided to use them for a test.
Crack!
Uchiha Yoichi directly dislocated his jaw. Then he walked up in front of Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin and casually wrote a question on the paper: "Has Kakashi gone back?"
"He's already gone back. Damn it, I wanted to challenge him to a duel, but it seems he knew I'd gotten stronger and was worried he'd lose to me, so he refused to fight no matter what!"
Whenever he mentioned Kakashi, Uchiha Obito seemed to have endless things to say. But when he remembered what had happened earlier, his excitement about Kakashi was pushed aside by curiosity.
"Senior Yoichi, did you just escape from Lady Tsunade, one of the Sannin? Why was she chasing you? And why was she so furious?"
After hearing Obito's question, Uchiha Yoichi instinctively wanted to answer. But when the words reached his lips, they could not come out, because his jaw had been dislocated and he was completely unable to speak.
Good, I've found a method!
Dislocating his jaw was merely a crude method. There were many ways to stop himself from speaking. Uchiha Yoichi could even have the Ninja Tool Shop make a half-face mask specifically designed to keep his mouth from moving.
"Senior Yoichi?"
This has nothing to do with you. Don't ask any more questions.
After writing this sentence on the note, Uchiha Yoichi turned and headed toward the Ninja Tool Shop. He needed to place an expedited order—the kind that had to be ready by tomorrow.
On the way to the Ninja Tool Shop, he put his jaw back in place. He had previously learned simple techniques such as bandaging from a teammate, which was why he could dislocate and reset his own jaw.
It hurt a little, though.
He could not put this off. Until he got the half-face mask that restricted his speech, Uchiha Yoichi planned to live at the Ninja Tool Shop.
