The little fox saw through him-how awkward!

Tōka, infusing it with Yang Release attributes as he used the Mystical Palm Technique to treat Shisui's burns from Fire Release.

He asked, "Lord Minato, why did the exam suddenly end?"

"Because the Genjutsu barrier was destroyed! So, everyone passed the first test." Minato said helplessly, which completely ruined the original purpose of the test.

His original plan was that no more than sixty people would be able to leave the Ninja Academy, which would be twenty teams.

Unexpectedly, because the Genjutsu barrier was destroyed so quickly, hundreds of people survived.

"Smashed by someone? How is that possible?" Tōka stared at Minato in shock, the names on the list flashing through his mind as he tried to figure out who it could be.

He was confident that he could freely enter and exit the Genjutsu barrier covering the Ninja Academy, but he really couldn't destroy such a large Genjutsu barrier on his own.

The first problem is the lack of chakra. A large Genjutsu barrier is maintained by the combined efforts of many Elite Ninja. The difficulty of freely entering and exiting is on a completely different level compared to forcibly destroying it!

"It's Kumogakure Yugito Kumogakure." Minato gestured with his eyes to the Iwagakure ninja standing nearby, and Tōka immediately understood and kept silent.

As the host, Konoha has the advantage of intelligence and location. Minato will send someone to deliver what Tōka wants to know later.

"Can we go now? I'll take Shisui to the hospital first." Tōka gave Shisui some simple treatment and then helped him up.

"Well, the time and location of the Second Exam will be announced separately." Minato glanced at Shisui and, seeing that his injuries weren't serious, decided not to use the Flying Thunder God to take Shisui to the hospital.

He has a lot to do!

With a whoosh!

Golden Flash flashed, Minato's figure vanished from the spot in an instant, even faster than Tōka.

After Minato left, the atmosphere, which had relaxed, became tense again.

"You brat, if you dare glare at me again, I'll kill you!" Black Bee glared fiercely at Shisui and roared arrogantly.

Tōka restrained the agitated Shisui, and in a flash, he took him away.

So, they're from the Water Style Clan? There's plenty of time...

Seeing that Shisui was alright, Tōka left the hospital.

Just as he stepped out of the hospital, an Anbu suddenly appeared in front of Tōka, tossing a Scroll through the air.

He coolly uttered a sentence, saying it was given to him by Lord Minato, and then vanished from the spot in a Body Flicker Technique.

"The intelligence came quickly." Tōka raised an eyebrow and reached out to open the Scroll.

The story of what happened at the Ninja Academy is told in just a few simple sentences.

Yugito, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tails from Kumogakure, directly confronted the Elite Ninja of Konoha who maintained the Genjutsu barrier using the Tailed Beast's immense chakra.

The outcome is obvious; the chakra of the Tailed Beast cannot be matched by sheer numbers.

"Yugito shouldn't be very old, right? How can someone that age perfectly control the Two-Tails?" Tōka frowned as he closed the Scroll.

The Kumogakure is really arrogant to send out Jinchūriki so openly! Aren't they afraid that the Two-Tails will be destroyed in Konoha?

Confidence, or is there some other conspiracy?

This is a perfect Jinchūriki, not just a Jonin or an Elite Jonin.

Jinchūriki can break Genjutsu by switching between two types of chakra within their bodies, which can be considered a kind of Genjutsu immunity. However, the vast amount of chakra that Jinchūriki is what Tōka envies the most.

"Never mind, I'll see him in a few days." Tōka shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, because he saw an even more interesting little guy.

Swish!

Tōka's figure flashed by and disappeared from the spot, clinging to him like a ghost.

A little boy of about three years old, with a serious expression, is carrying a bag. It's not candy or toys, but a bag Shuriken.

That's right, it's a genuine, sharpened Shuriken!

Crossing the street, the little boy headed straight towards the Forest.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

In the Forest, a series of Shuriken shot through the air, tracing graceful arcs before embedding themselves in Tree Stump.

"Just like Itachi!" a voice suddenly rang out.

The dwarf in the Forest remained frozen in place, his hands still in the motion of throwing Shuriken. Itachi regained his senses in just a second.

He squinted and looked up, finally making out the figure on the treetop.

"Tōka!" Itachi called out respectfully.

As expected of a brat from a prominent family, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, neither impolite nor haughty.

Itachi's arrogance was ingrained in his very bones, making him a unique member of the Uchiha Clan, unlike the haughty arrogance of other clan members.

Itachi's pride lies in his talent, his wisdom, his temperament, and his inner qualities.

"It feels a little strange to be called that..." Tōka leaped up and flipped down from the tree, standing in front of Itachi.

Wow! I've never felt so cool looking down at people!

Tōka is more than three years younger Kakashi, and he's always been the shortest among his acquaintances. He's always had to look up at others, but now...

Has the hardship finally come to an end...?

"Lord Tōka, is there something you need?" Itachi looked at Tōka expressionlessly, feeling that the Tōka he had heard about was different from the one he had imagined!

"Don't be so formal, Itachi, right? Shisui and I are teammates, you can call me senpai or nii-nii." Tōka smiled and fully displayed his shameless spirit.

"Senior Tōka," Itachi called out in a soft voice, looking like a little adult, which was really cute.

Itachi had heard Shisui mention Tōka, and since Tōka knew him, it must have been Shisui who told him, so Itachi had no doubt about Tōka at all.

"Are you practicing Shuriken here? Why don't you go play with your friends?" The friends Tōka was referring to were naturally people around Itachi's age.

Itachi looked up and gave Tōka a puzzled look. "That would be too much of a waste of time."

Wasting time? Tōka was speechless at this remark.

What does a little brat like you know about wasting time? Shouldn't you be thinking about which friends you should hang out with today?

"Senior Tōka, could you teach me Shuriken?" Itachi didn't want to waste time discussing those kinds of questions, so he changed the subject.

"Shuriken..." Tōka glanced at the Shuriken, most of which had landed on the Tree Stump, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He recognized this thing, but he didn't really know how to use it!

Even when attacking from a distance, Tōka usually just uses the "All-Killing Ash Bones - Bone Bullet Barrage" directly, and in his view, there is no need to deliberately pursue accuracy.

If you fire enough Bone Bullets, wouldn't it be much easier to hit the target?

Stealing a glance at Itachi's expectant face, Tōka didn't want to back down. What should she do...?

Sudden!

A brilliant idea One Flash into Tōka's mind.

"Itachi, Shuriken don't suit your style at all!" Tōka said seriously, his smile fading.

"Hmm? Demeanor?" Itachi didn't quite understand, after all, he was only three years old.

"That's right, that's the kind of aura you should have!" Tōka smiled mysteriously Teuchi his fingers.

The scene in the Forest became ethereal, rippling like water.

To Itachi's astonishment, the Forest transformed into a vast ocean, and the two stood atop a cluster of towering waves.

Two colossal beasts lurk within the giant waves; monsters from the deep sea are locked in fierce combat.

"This is... Genjutsu?" Itachi's usually calm face finally changed color, and he became very interested.

"He's just a three-year-old brat, "Tōka smiled smugly, accepting Itachi's admiring gaze with equanimity.

"Want to learn?" Tōka asked, her voice carrying a seductive tone.

"Hmm." Itachi nodded, slightly excited. He wanted that aura, the ability to draw people into an illusion with every gesture!

"Alright... let's play a game first." Tōka smiled mysteriously.

"Playing games?" Itachi was slightly taken aback and asked, puzzled.

"A game of cat and mouse."

As Tōka finished speaking, the illusion around them dissipated, and Itachi saw two people carrying Gunbai lying on the ground.

They were still conscious, but could only lie motionless on the ground.

It seems to be under some kind of mysterious spell, retaining all five senses but unable to control the body.

"Are you following Itachi or me?" Tōka's perception wasn't strong, but it was exceptionally sensitive within a certain range.

Even someone Black Zetsu, who excels at stealth, was detected Chunin Tōka, let alone two Uchiha.

"You'd better let us go right now, or else the Uchiha Clan..." one of the square-faced men roared angrily.

But before he could finish speaking, a shoe began to grow larger.

Bang!

Tōka stepped on his face, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes. Although it was only One Flash fleeting killing intent, it still made Itachi shudder.

Itachi gritted his teeth, his young face showing a defiant expression, and forced himself to straighten his back.

"I'll ask you a question, you'll answer it, understand?" Tōka asked indifferently, his contemptuous gaze showing that he didn't take the other person seriously at all.

He might be a little timid when he's weaker than his opponent, but no Tom, Dick, or Harry can yell at him like that!

Tōka is a man who inherited the Ōtsutsuki Clan!

The square-faced man gritted his teeth; the sharp pain stimulated his nerves, and for a moment he almost fainted.

Immediately afterwards, the square-faced man felt a cool sensation flowing into his nose, and he knew that the foot that had just stepped on him had broken his nose.

Fresh blood flowed into my mouth, tasting metallic.

The square-faced man looked at Tōka in horror, pursed his lips, and was speechless.

This seems to be the first time that mentioning the name Uchiha has no effect.

The other middle-aged man was older and more composed, adhering to the principle that a wise man doesn't suffer losses in the short term.

He decided to tell the truth, "We are responsible for protecting Young Master Itachi in secret."

"Oh, so he's protecting Itachi!" Tōka guessed that this was probably the reason; the Uchiha Clan wouldn't follow him around for no reason.

Upon seeing the Gunbai emblem on the backs of the two, Tōka immediately suspected it was for protecting Itachi.

However, Tōka prefers certainty, not possibility.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Tōka waved his hand casually. "Let's go, I won't do anything to Itachi."

As Tōka finished speaking, to the Chunin the two Uchiha, Tōka and Itachi's bodies disintegrated like an ink painting in the wind.

What terrifying Genjutsu! Even the Genjutsu masters in the family are no match for them, the two thought simultaneously.

"What should I do?" The square-faced man suddenly realized he could move and quickly sat up, covering his nose.

"Go back and tell the clan leader that Tōka seems to like Young Master Itachi very much, so Young Master Itachi will be safe." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before saying this.

The square-faced man's expression darkened. Indeed, the two of them had been subdued in an instant, while Itachi was truly safe with Tōka.

It's much safer than having the two of them protecting you.

"That's all we can do." Although unwilling, the square-faced man couldn't think of any other solutions.

After Tōka led Itachi away from the Forest near the Uchiha Clan, they went directly to a Lake.

The water flows downhill following the terrain.

The tranquility and pleasant atmosphere instantly calmed my mind.

"Itachi, what do you think a ninja is?" Tōka suddenly asked.

"A ninja is someone who endures hardship and humiliation to achieve their goal." Itachi paused slightly, and a sentence instantly popped into his mind.

"Is that so... Then what is Itachi's goal?" Tōka asked again.

"To protect those I love," Itachi answered instinctively.

"Alright, then let's begin learning Genjutsu." Tōka's sudden change of topic caught Itachi off guard.

That look in her eyes seemed to say, "Why were we talking about life and ideals one moment, and then we're jumping straight to the point the next?"

Isn't this a bit too fast?

"Genjutsu by disrupting the opponent's mind and causing their senses to become abnormal, trapping them in a world of illusions." Tōka simply explained the principle of Genjutsu, believing that Itachi, with his intelligence, would certainly be able to understand it.

"Itachi is from the Uchiha Clan, possesses the Sharingan, and can specialize in a type of Genjutsu."

"Visual Genjutsu?" Itachi was clever and immediately understood what Tōka meant. He would definitely awaken his Sharingan in the future, and the Sharingan was known as the eye of Genjutsu.

Tōka narrowed his eyes, a smile appearing on his lips, as his Yin Release) Mental Energy emanated from him invisibly.

Theoretical knowledge can only produce exam-taking geniuses; only by truly experiencing things firsthand can one grasp the essence of Jutsu Formula.

The first Genjutsu Tōka taught Itachi was the most basic Genjutsu, and it was also the first Genjutsu Itachi ever encountered.

This Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique!

A day passed quickly, and Itachi still hadn't mastered the Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique, because he hadn't refined his chakra yet.

Moreover, I was exhausted after being played with by Tōka all day.

In the end, Itachi simply lay down on the ground, not wanting to move a single finger.

"Senior Tōka's Genjutsu is really amazing." Itachi tilted his head and stared blankly at the figure sitting by the lake. He thought that the Shisui Genjutsu was already very powerful.

However, after witnessing Tōka's effortless Genjutsu, he immediately rejected his previous idea.

But...

"Senior Tōka, you don't know how to Shuriken, do you?" Itachi suddenly asked.

"..." Tōka, who was staring blankly at the lake, visibly stiffened. He glanced at Itachi without saying a word. The clever little brat really isn't cute at all!
