Uchiha Fugaku's Harsh Training as a Father

In the forest Back Mountain Konoha, two children are doing physical training, while an adult sits leisurely in a tree, giving them instructions.

"Senju Sen, did you not eat? Why are you running so slowly? Even Kushina, a girl, runs faster than you. How can you be so shameless? If you can't handle it, get out of here and go home. Stop embarrassing me!" Tianqi sat on a tree eating watermelon and pointed at Sen'u running below, cursing loudly.

Sen'u, drenched in sweat, didn't retort. After half a year, he had long since grown accustomed to this kind of lecturing. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, he was constantly complaining in his heart.

That damned guy! Kushina was only strapped with fifteen pounds of weight, of course she was fast. I was strapped with fifty pounds of weight, how the hell am I fast? You're just standing in the tree talking without any sense of the consequences. You damned old gossip!

"Senju Sen, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Let me tell you, it's useless. Kushina is a girl, and she's half a year younger than you. It's understandable that she's lighter. If you can't even complete twenty laps around the Back Mountain with this weight, I advise you to get lost. I don't take in trash here!" Tianqi threw down the watermelon rind in his hand and followed Sen'u, unleashing another barrage of insults. He had been through the same thing, so he knew exactly what Sen'u was thinking. She was probably cursing him out right now, but Tianqi didn't care.

As for Uzumaki Kushina, to be honest, he didn't want to teach her. However, she came with Sen'u, and it wouldn't do to leave her bored on the sidelines. So, Tianqi simply gave her some training. Although he gave her some training, Tianqi did not accept her as his disciple. His standards for accepting disciples were very high. He didn't accept just anyone, not even the mother of the protagonist in the original work.

Seeing Sen'u running away slowly without saying a word, Tianqi smiled and continued his barrage of words, "Senju Sen, I can walk faster than you run! Are you just standing there with your head down, stomping on ants? How could I have taken on such a useless disciple? It's a disgrace!"

"I'm not a piece of trash!" Sen'u retorted loudly. He could tolerate being called trash once or twice, but after being called that for so long, the five-and-a-half-year-old finally couldn't take it anymore.

"If you're not trash, then who is? You can't even finish 15 of the 20 laps. If you can't even complete this much training, what's wrong with calling you trash? I think you should stop calling Senju Sen and start calling yourself Trash Sen'u. That would suit you better!" Tianqi mocked Sen'u again. Running so slowly during physical training would not improve his stamina enough. After all, the greatest improvement would be achieved by quickly and completely draining his stamina.

"I told you I'm not a piece of trash!" Sen'u glared fiercely at her master as she ran.

"Don't give me that crap. If you're not trash, then increase your speed. Running so slowly, you deserve my contempt!" Tianqi glanced at Sen'u with disdain, constantly uttering provocative words.

"You just wait!" Sen'u glared at Tianqi and sped off.

Watching Sen'u run forward, Tianqi stopped and nodded in satisfaction, laughing and scolding, "You brat, I can't handle you anymore. It seems that reverse psychology works. Five-year-olds can't resist this."

Tianqi then found a place to sit down at the finish line and quietly waited for the two to finish their training. Watching them cross the finish line again and again Tianqi nodded in satisfaction.

"After six months of training from me, Sen'u has already reached the strength of Elite Genin. It's quite impressive that she has this level of strength at the age of five. Uzumaki Kushina is a genius from the Land of Whirlpools. Although she is not as good as Sen'u, she has also barely reached the level of Genin, which is quite good among her peers."

Meanwhile, on the other side of Konoha, a blond-haired child was also undergoing rigorous training. That's right, this person was Minato Namikaze, the future Fourth Hokage. It has to be said that there was a reason why he became the Fourth Hokage. While others were resting and playing, he was undergoing arduous training.

A great man once said that genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. Although that 1% inspiration is very important, it does not affect the effort of perspiration. Effort does not guarantee success, but those who do not try will definitely not succeed. This is why Tianqi trains Sen'u so hard.

He couldn't protect Sen'u forever. One day, the eagle had to leave its parents and spread its wings, but before that, Tianqi needed to give it full wings.

Uzumaki Kushina a 15-pound weight, quickly completed 20 laps of physical training and reached the finish line.

"Here Kushina, have a glass of lightly salted water to replenish your energy!" Tianqi handed Uzumaki Kushina a glass of salt water with a broad smile.

"Thank you!" After taking a couple of sips of the salt water, Uzumaki Kushina looked at Tianqi with some curiosity and asked, "Uncle Sani, why are you training Sen'u so hard? Is there some special reason?"

"There's no special reason. To survive in this war-torn world, you need great strength, and to have great strength, you need to train hard. I just want him to have the ability to protect himself!" Tianqi said calmly.

Tianqi truly had no intention of making Sen'u an unparalleled powerhouse. As long as he had the strength to protect himself, that would be enough. The future would only get better, and the dawn of peace would slowly descend upon this continent. Saving the world was not Sen'u's responsibility; he could just live a peaceful life. As for those heaven-defying obstacles, Tianqi's true form would remove them for him.

"To protect yourself? I think Sen'u is already very strong. Apart from that blond guy, no one in the class can beat him in more than a few moves. How can he not protect himself?" Uzumaki Kushina asked with a puzzled look. She didn't have much of a concept of strength. She felt that Sen'u was pretty strong because he was the number one in the class.

"Hahaha, what kind of ability to protect himself is that? With his current strength, he'd be cannon fodder on the Shinobi World battlefield. He's far from being able to protect himself!" Hearing Kushina's words, Tianqi laughed. Children are children; they don't really have a concept of the battlefield or strength.

However, upon hearing Kushina mention the blond-haired guy, Tianqi became slightly interested. The blond-haired guy must be Minato Namikaze. With Uchiha Fugaku, the two Hyuga Clan brothers, Uzumaki Kushina, and Minato Namikaze, a new era is slowly beginning. How interesting.

After chatting with Uzumaki Kushina for a while, Sen'u staggered through the twenty laps of weighted running. He collapsed as soon as he reached the finish line, Sen'u Tianqi him in time.
