Uchiha Jin let out a sigh.

Looking at Shisui, who had a gentle expression and was pouring his heart out to him, Jin's expression became incredibly complex.

He had a headache!

This was actually one of the reasons he didn't want to interact with these plot characters. As a soul from China, he believed in repaying kindness tenfold.

However, a problem arose.

This is where I hope readers will remember our domain name. For Taiwanese novels, the first choice is Taiwan Novel Network, t̸̸w̸̸k̸̸a̸̸n̸̸.c̸̸o̸̸m̸̸, watch anytime!

Someone like Shisui truly couldn't be saved!

Facing Shisui's genuine sincerity, he couldn't bring himself to watch the man die.

What should he do?

He truly didn't know!

He had already accidentally provoked Nohara Rin before, and she was also someone he couldn't save. That had already caused him so much distress that he often couldn't sleep. Now, it seemed another Shisui was about to appear...

How he wished he was a cold-hearted person, able to calmly watch these people die.

But, unfortunately.

He couldn't!

As for giving up on Shisui's teachings?

On one hand, it was difficult to explain. On the other hand, he was unwilling to.

Because surviving in this damn world was incredibly difficult, and he had finally found an opportunity to increase his strength. Any normal person wouldn't let such a chance slip by.

"Alright, Jin!"

"Don't look so dejected. If we had received the same education, perhaps my performance wouldn't be as good as yours."

"Your Fire Release nature transformation is something I can't even do now."

Shisui patted his shoulder, his tone filled with sincerity.

And regarding this.

Uchiha Jin had no way to explain that his Fire Release nature transformation, even his Sharingan and Chakra, were all free rewards from the system!

Even if he had received the same education, he wouldn't have been qualified to stand beside Shisui.

However, he really couldn't say such things.

So.

He just rolled his eyes and said with a twitch of his lips.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I'll trouble you with the upcoming training, Shisui."

Shisui was quite happy about this.

Afterward.

He began to frown and think, as this was his first time being a teacher.

A few minutes later, his eyes lit up.

"Right, Nintaijutsu!"

"This is also your biggest weakness, Jin. The manual grandfather gave me says Nintaijutsu is the foundation and core for every ninja!"

"Because the battlefield is constantly changing, especially when facing too many enemies, they won't give you time to cast Ninjutsu, and you might not even have time to escape the battlefield."

"Moreover, everyone's Chakra is limited, so on a real battlefield, Nintaijutsu is the most frequently used method."

"A Kunai, a Senbon, can instantly take a life!"

"..."

Shisui began his serious instruction.

Uchiha Jin listened attentively and after careful consideration, he felt it was very true.

The last time he encountered Sunagakure, he only had time to use Ninjutsu at the very beginning.

Later, when the battlefield became a stalemate, it was basically Nintaijutsu against enemies.

Time slowly passed.

During this period, it was unclear whether it was due to Danzo's significant impact, with Konohagakure's higher-ups trying to mitigate it, or discussions between Fugaku and Konohagakure's higher-ups. In any case, Konohagakure did not assign any more missions to their squad.

In short.

Every day, Uchiha Jin would wake up at 5:30 AM and begin his exclusive training with Shisui.

His growth was incredibly rapid.

Not only was his use of the Sharingan becoming more proficient, but his Nintaijutsu also improved by leaps and bounds. Coupled with the use of Shisui's family secret medicine, his Chakra even began to increase slightly.

Shisui's residence, training grounds.

Uchiha Jin and Shisui faced each other in combat. Jin held a katana, a gift from Shisui. The blade was forged from chakra metal and was specially crafted by the Nekojin Clan at great expense.

In Shisui's words, it cost over ninety million ryo for his grandfather to forge this blade back then.

Uchiha Jin initially didn't want to accept it, but Shisui didn't care about such things, money seemingly meaningless to him.

This was because Shisui had over a dozen more swords of the same caliber at his home.

What a spender!

It was only then that Uchiha Jin understood what it meant to be inhumanly wealthy, and what a millennia-old prestigious clan like the Uchiha truly was!

"Jin, let's begin!"

"Alright!"

As Shisui spoke, Uchiha Jin snapped back to attention. The two performed the hand seal for pairing.

Immediately after.

They both began to clash with their swords, without using any Ninjutsu. They had merely activated their Sharingan, relying purely on Nintaijutsu.

Compared to the first time he fought Shisui, Uchiha Jin's speed had at least tripled, while his stamina consumption was reduced by more than half.

Kagami Uchiha's exclusive Nintaijutsu was exceedingly flashy and elegant, like that of a gracefully dancing performer.

But, ironically.

Only those who faced him as an enemy could truly feel its ruthless and tricky nature!

"This is Uchiha Nintaijutsu!"

"The basic version I learned before is nowhere near this level."

"And this is just Kagami Uchiha's Nintaijutsu. Just how powerful must Uchiha Madara's Nintaijutsu be?"

"No wonder Uchiha Madara was called the 'Dancing King,' always asking others if they wanted to dance. The Uchiha, a millennia-old prestigious clan, are truly extraordinary."

Uchiha Jin mused inwardly.

He was previously just a commoner-born Uchiha and had no access to the clan's core secrets. He always thought the Uchiha were just ordinary.

Now that he had awakened his Sharingan and gained access to the Uchiha's core, he finally understood what a millennia-old prestigious clan meant.

Half an hour later.

The two simultaneously stopped fighting and performed the release hand seal.

"Jin, not bad!"

"Compared to when we first met, your strength has improved so much."

"Even I'm starting to feel pressure fighting you."

Shisui couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with admiration and relief.

As for this.

Uchiha Jin felt a bit awkward.

Because only he knew that he was still far from Shisui's level. Shisui hadn't used any Ninjutsu, not even his signature Body Flicker Technique...

But he was different!

He had not only given his all, but he had even secretly used his "Observation Haki."

Otherwise, he would have been defeated long ago.

Shisui truly lived up to his reputation as an elite Uchiha genius. Although his mind might not be the sharpest, his strength was truly awe-inspiring.

"Alright, Shisui."

"Stop praising me. I'm still far behind you."

"You haven't even used a third of your strength, while I've already given my absolute all!"

Uchiha Jin waved his hand.

In response.

Shisui appeared somewhat shy but ultimately said nothing, simply going for tea with Uchiha Jin.

"By the way, Jin."

"I'd like to hear your thoughts on the clan and the village."

"I can tell you're not as stubborn as some of our clansmen."
