He Started Training as Soon as He Left Konoha
After a night of light exercise, the two returned home early the next morning and waited for Itachi in the yard.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Sen'u Mikoto and Itachi finally came out, but Sen'u was carrying a large bag that was almost 1.8 meters long.
"It's finally here! Holy crap! Don't tell you, this huge bag is all the stuff Itachi wanted to carry!" Tianqi was stunned as he looked at the massive bundle.
"Uh... these are all the daily necessities Mikoto prepared for Itachi. I didn't expect there to be so many..."
"What's going on? You country bumpkins going out like this? Do you really need to bring all this stuff? Are you trying to crush a weasel?!"
Upon hearing this, Sen'u and Mikoto looked at Tianqi, their meaning clear: Itachi was too young to carry so much, so they could only trouble Tianqi.
Seeing the looks in their eyes, Tianqi was speechless. He said helplessly, "Alright, alright, put it on the ground!"
After Sen'u put down the bundle, which was as tall as a person, Tianqi directly used his Kamui to suck the bundle into his Kamui Dimension. Asking him to carry it was a joke; who would do such hard labor?
"Alright, Itachi, let's go!" After packing up his things, Tianqi opened Space Tunnel.
"Itachi, be careful when you're out and about. Remember to listen to Grandpa and Grandma, okay? Go to bed early and get up early, be diligent, and don't make Grandpa and Grandma angry..."
"Alright, Mikoto, that's enough for now. Your nagging mother has already said everything Itachi's father wanted to tell you. Father believes that under Grandpa's guidance, you will definitely become an outstanding ninja, a ninja who can surpass Father!"
"Do-san, ka-san..." Looking at his parents, Itachi, who was leaving home for the first time, still shed tears of reluctance.
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
"Goodbye, Dorsanka-san!" With a wave, Itachi followed Karura into the Space Tunnel.
Just as Tianqi was about to go in, Sen'u hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
"Father, when will you be coming back next time?"
"Hmm... if nothing unexpected happens, I will officially return to Konoha with your mother next time, but that might take a while."
"Is that so, Father... I wish you a safe journey. Please give my regards to Mother and tell her that I miss her very much!"
"I will!" Tianqi turned and stepped into the Space Tunnel, but no one noticed that a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he turned around.
Ultimately, Sen'u is still his own child, and this blood relationship can never be changed. Although he is a bit disobedient, he still cares about his father.
After Tianqi entered the Space Tunnel, the Space Tunnel closed completely.
The exit of the Space Tunnel was located in the forest not far from Konoha, and Tianqi and his two companions emerged from it.
Karura looked at the gates of Konoha not far away and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is it so short?"
"What? It's so short?"
"I mean, your teleportation distance is so short, it's barely any distance from the village!"
"The reason I used spatial teleportation is because I didn't want to be discovered by the people of Konoha. Teleporting here is enough, and Itachi's training will also begin here!" Tianqi smiled slightly and looked at Itachi beside him.
"Weasel, from now on, you will keep up with us on foot. Is that alright?"
"No problem!" Itachi nodded, indicating that there was absolutely no problem. Walking was no challenge for him at all; it was a piece of cake.
Itachi's naive idea vanished within an hour.
Seeing Itachi's relaxed expression, Tianqi grinned slyly and said with narrowed eyes, "Good, it's just a simple walk. Don't come crying later!"
"That's why I cry! I'm an adult who can live independently!"
"Really? Well then, good luck, little one!"
After saying that, Tianqi quickly condensed a Truth-Seeking Orb in his hand. The Truth-Seeking Orb slowly stretched and deformed, eventually turning into a black floorboard that was two meters long and wide. Tianqi and Karura jumped onto it and sat cross-legged on it.
"Itachi, get ready to keep up with me. This is your first time training with me, don't let me down!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!" Itachi said confidently. This was the first time he had performed well in front of his grandfather, and he absolutely could not embarrass his father or disappoint his grandfather.
"Hehe, let's go then!"
With a wave of his hand, Tianqi Truth-Seeking Orb to rise five meters and begin to fly forward. The speed was not very fast, and Itachi ran closely behind below.
Karura looked at the weasel running below and said with a hint of heartache, "Isn't this a bit too much for Tianqi? He's still so young..."
"Being young is no excuse. Jade must be carved to become a useful object. If we don't nurture it from a young age, how can it become a useful object in the future?" Tianqi said calmly with his eyes closed, while at the same time accurately locking onto Tsunade's location through his senses.
"But isn't this a bit too early? I remember Itachi is only five years old. Won't doing this hurt his body?"
"You're overthinking it. It's just simple endurance training, how could it possibly hurt your body? And even if it did get injured, I can quickly heal it for you, no problem!"
"Alright!" Although Karura still felt a little heartache seeing Tianqi say that, she didn't say anything more. A woman follows her husband wherever he goes. Since she had chosen to be with Tianqi, she would listen to him.
An hour passed quickly, and the weasel running below finally began to break out in a light sweat. This scene was noticed by Tianqi above.
"What's wrong, Itachi? You're already sweating after only an hour of running! Are you even capable? If you're not, just say so, and Grandpa won't laugh at you!"
The more Tianqi said this, the more unwilling Itachi became to give up. He shouted defiantly, "I'm just a little hot. I can run for several more hours without any problem. Grandpa, just watch! I, Uchiha Itachi, will never admit defeat!"
"Well done, Itachi! That's encouraging. Keep it up and don't give up. Let me see where your limits are!" With that, Tianqi waved his hand again, and the Truth-Seeking Orb floor flew faster.
Seeing his grandfather above him speed up again, Itachi started to complain in his mind, "Damn it, why is he speeding up again? My dear grandfather, I was just saying it casually, why did you take it seriously? This is going to slap me in the face!"
"Damn it, I won't give up!" Itachi shouted, gritted his teeth, and began to accelerate.
After running for another half hour at high speed, Itachi finally started panting heavily, drenched in sweat, clearly nearing his limit.
Seeing this, Tianqi felt it was about time, so he stopped and slowly landed on the ground from mid-air.
