Leaf Village: I, Uchiha, Am Done Lying Flat! Part 20

Not to mention the enormous wealth the clan had accumulated over the past two years, even the things Shisui casually tossed to him would make countless civilians green with envy if placed outside.

Even among the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, or second-rate clans like the Sarutobi and Shimura, only the true elite of their families could probably be equipped with everything before him.

As for third-rate clans like the Aburame and Inuzuka, there was even less need to mention them.

And the Hatake? That was even more absurd.

Sakumo Hatake had made his name purely through swordsmanship.

Yet the Uchiha could casually produce sword techniques no weaker than Hatake's.

This was their foundation.

Thinking about it, in all of Leaf Village, only the Hyuga had the qualifications to barely challenge the Uchiha.

Sigh!

At that thought, he let out a helpless sigh.

The Uchiha truly had a death wish!

They guarded such immense wealth, yet lacked the strength and temperament to protect it.

If you didn't die, who would?

And once the Uchiha died, Leaf Village would get rich in one fell swoop.

When one whale falls, all things thrive!

While he was lost in thought, Shisui smiled and spoke.

"Want to go to the training grounds?"

"There's still some time today, so I can give you some guidance."

"Tomorrow..."

Shisui's face was filled with concern.

He understood perfectly well that Uchiha Jin was no genius.

An ordinary ninja like him would never be assigned a Jonin instructor. At best, he would get a Chunin who had seen the battlefield.

What was even more helpless was that basic squads like these had no time to train and build coordination.

Once the teams were assigned each day, they would head straight for the battlefield.

He truly could not rest easy.

So, while there was still time, he wanted to guide him properly.

It was not that he was bragging. Although he was only a Chunin for now, ordinary Jonin really were no match for him!

Though he was kind and innocent, he still understood closeness and distance.

As for Uchiha Jin, his childhood companion whose parents had died because of his own grandfather, Shisui truly regarded him as a younger brother.

What was wrong with giving him a little extra tutoring?

Wasn't that what everyone did?

Otherwise, did they really think an ordinary Uchiha could receive so much compensation?

To put it bluntly.

Clan Leader Fugaku was only doing Shisui a favor.

As for the Tachi, sword techniques, and secret Sharingan techniques...

Those had all come out of Shisui's own private stash!

But in response.

Uchiha Jin immediately shook his head.

"Uh, let's forget it."

"Tomorrow, the squads will be assigned, and then we'll be risking our lives on the battlefield."

"Right now, I just want to rest properly and recover my energy as much as possible."

"If I exhaust myself today, how can I be in good spirits tomorrow?"

"Shisui, forget it."

"I know you mean well and are doing this for my sake."

"But my talent is what it is. One day of training won't change anything."

"What I need to do now is conserve my strength."

"..."

Shisui's Arrangements, the Long-Awaited Assignments Begin ### Shisui was helpless.

Looking at Uchiha Jin's lazy expression, he truly did not know what to say.

He felt that someone with Jin's personality would be better off as a civilian.

But there was no helping it.

Since he could extract Chakra, he could not become a civilian.

And after thinking carefully, he felt that Uchiha Jin's words did not seem unreasonable either.

He was not a genius. Even if he crammed in extra training under Shisui's personal instruction, the results would probably be limited.

Rather than that, he might as well conserve his strength.

"Fine, then."

"Rest well today. Once you're on the battlefield, be careful in everything you do."

"Oh, right. I'll teach you a ninjutsu."

After some thought, Shisui still chose to give up.

But he could not rest easy.

So he taught Uchiha Jin the Summoning Jutsu. After directly summoning a crow, he smiled and said,

"This is a Ninja Crow I've raised."

"Make a contract with it. It won't be any less useful than the Ninja Cat Clan."

"After this war ends, I'll do my best to persuade Clan Leader Fugaku to let you make a contract with the Ninja Cat Clan."

"If you truly encounter a life-or-death crisis, don't hesitate at all. Have the Ninja Crow notify me immediately."

"I'll come save you as quickly as I can!"

Uchiha Jin's mouth twitched.

Facing Shisui, he truly did not know what to say.

He could naturally tell that Shisui had no selfish motives toward him. He simply wanted what was best for him.

That made him even more uncomfortable.

Because there was no need!

He was confident that as long as he did not encounter a Kage Level expert or a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki from another village, he could absolutely ensure his own safety.

However.

He also knew that if he did not accept, Shisui would never let the matter rest.

So, forget it.

After letting out a helpless sigh, he learned the Summoning Jutsu and made a contract with the Ninja Crow.

Only then did a faint smile appear on Shisui's lips.

After that.

The two chatted for a while longer before Shisui said his farewells.

There was no helping it.

Unlike him, an idle man, the talented Shisui had many things to deal with every day.

Even during his leave, Fugaku needed him to handle the Radical Faction, Hiruzen Sarutobi occasionally summoned him, and from time to time he had to take little Uchiha Itachi out to play.

Sigh!

The more he spoke, the more tears there were.

Being an idle man like himself was better. As long as he was fed, the whole family was fed.

As for all that damned messy nonsense, he had no interest in wasting his energy on it.

But things like Bonds could truly be frustrating sometimes.
