Can Uchiha's Fire Style also be learned?

Uchiha Toru's expression changed slightly. He immediately stood up straight and bowed deeply, "Great Elder."

Shin-chan tilted his head, looking at the old man.

Great Elder?

Such an old Grandfather.

The old man slowly walked over, his gaze falling on Shin-chan.

"And who is this?"

"He... he's my classmate," Uchiha Toru's voice was a little nervous, "Shin Nohara."

The Great Elder didn't speak, just looked at Shin-chan.

Shin-chan also looked at him.

The two stared at each other for two seconds.

Then Shin-chan raised his hand and waved at him, "Hello, Grandfather."

Uchiha Toru stiffened.

The Great Elder's steps also paused. He looked at the red-clothed child waving, a subtle expression appearing on his face.

"What did you call me?"

"Grandfather," Shin-chan blinked his eyes, "Aren't you Xiao Che's Grandfather?"

The Great Elder was silent for two seconds, then his lips moved, it was unclear if he was trying to smile or something else.

"Come here."

Shin-chan walked over, looking up at him.

The Great Elder's gaze fell on his clear eyes and he asked, "You want to learn Fire Style?"

"Mm!"

"Why?"

"Because it's cool."

Shin-chan answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The Great Elder chuckled, it was unclear if he was amused or something else, "That's perfect, I'll teach you both."

Uchiha Toru was completely stunned beside them.

After all, the Great Elder hadn't personally taught the Clan's children for many years.

"What are you stunned for?" The Great Elder glanced at him. "Come here."

Uchiha Toru quickly ran over and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Great Elder."

"That's enough." The Great Elder waved his hand, then looked at Shin-chan. "You come here too, stand properly."

Shin-chan obediently stood in front of him.

The Great Elder extended his hand and formed the Si hand seal.

"There are many basic hand seals for Fire Style, but the Great Fireball Technique uses Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin."

He slowed down his movements and demonstrated them one by one. "Did you see clearly?"

Uchiha Toru nodded. He had learned this ninjutsu long ago, and the hand seals were already etched in his memory.

Shin-chan tilted his head and tried to mimic the seals.

"Like this?"

The Great Elder's eyes widened slightly.

This child remembered it just by looking once?

"Next is the circulation of Chakra," the Great Elder continued teaching. "Concentrate the Chakra in your throat, but don't hold it back; you need to let it flow."

Shin-chan closed his eyes and muttered, "Concentrate in the throat... flow..."

After a few seconds, Shin-chan suddenly opened his eyes.

"Is it like that feeling when you want to fart but hold it in?"

The Great Elder was stunned.

Uchiha Toru looked shocked. "Shin-chan, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't it?" Shin-chan tilted his head. "I feel like it's similar."

The Great Elder looked at him and couldn't help but chuckle. "You child, your way of understanding is certainly unique. However, the flow of Chakra does indeed feel a bit like that... um... holding-it-in feeling."

Uchiha Toru, standing beside them, didn't know what to say anymore.

"Alright, you two try it together." The Great Elder took two steps back.

Uchiha Toru nodded and walked to the center of the training ground. He took a deep breath and formed hand seals.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

A ball of flame erupted from his mouth, forming a complete fireball in the air before slowly dissipating.

Uchiha Toru panted and turned to look at Shin-chan.

Shin-chan stood there, clumsily forming hand seals.

Snake, Sheep, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger.

Then he also took a deep breath and puffed out his cheeks.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Puff.

A ball of flame emerged from his mouth, like a small flame from a candle. It flickered and then extinguished.

Shin-chan looked at the disappearing flame, a little disappointed. "It's different from Xiao Che's Fire Style. Why is it so small?"

The Great Elder was also taken aback, then chuckled. "To be able to spit out fire on your first try is already very good."

"But it's so small..."

"Who can spit out a Great Fireball on their first try?" The Great Elder glanced at him. "Do you think you're a genius?"

Shin-chan tilted his head and thought. "Am I not?"

The Great Elder was momentarily speechless.

Uchiha Toru said softly from the side, "Shin-chan, you succeeded on your first try, which is already amazing. I practiced for a long time before I could even spit out a puff of smoke."

Shin-chan blinked and looked at Uchiha Toru.

"Really?"

"Really."

Shin-chan looked at the Great Elder again.

The Great Elder nodded. "He's telling the truth."

Shin-chan thought for a moment and suddenly smiled.

"Then I guess I'm quite amazing."

"Don't get cocky," the Great Elder said. "Try again. Concentrate your Chakra a little more."

Shin-chan nodded, and tried again.

This time the flame was a bit bigger, about the size of a fist.

The third time, it was a little bigger.

The fourth time, he could already spew out flames half a meter long.

Uchiha Toru watched from the side, stunned.

He had practiced for so long, and now he could only spew out a complete Fireball, yet how long had Shin-chan been practicing...

"One more time." The Great Elder's expression was very calm.

Shin-chan took a deep breath and skillfully began to form hand seals.

Then a ball of flame spewed from his mouth, over a meter long, exploding in the air.

Uchiha Toru's mouth hung open.

The Great Elder's eyebrows twitched.

Shin-chan looked at the flame and was also stunned. He turned to look at the Great Elder, his eyes sparkling.

"Grandfather, have I learned it already?"

The Great Elder was silent for two seconds, then smiled, "Child, you have great talent."

Shin-chan proudly shook his head.

"But," the Great Elder added, "talent isn't everything. You still need to practice, practice non-stop."

Shin-chan's expression drooped a little.

"I still have to practice..."

"Of course." The Great Elder stood up. "But we'll stop here for today. If you keep practicing, your throat will give out."

Shin-chan touched his throat.

It did feel a bit dry.

The Great Elder looked at Uchiha Toru.

"Xiao Che, your problem is you think too much. Relaxing a bit might yield better results. Don't always focus on needing to succeed."

Uchiha Toru was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply, "Thank you for your guidance, Great Elder."

The Great Elder waved his hand, walked two steps away, then stopped and looked back at Shin-chan.

"Your name is Shin-chan?"

"Mm."

"If you have time in the future, come visit often."

Shin-chan blinked his eyes. "Can I?"

"You can." The Great Elder nodded. "The gates of the Uchiha Clan are not always closed."

After speaking, he slowly walked away.

Shin-chan watched his retreating figure, tilting his head. "Xiao Che."

"Mm?"

"That Grandfather, he seems like a nice person."

Uchiha Toru was silent for two seconds, then said softly, "Mm, maybe."

The sunset gradually sank.

In a mansion deep within the Uchiha Clan Compound, the Great Elder sat on a veranda, his eyes looking at a certain spot in the courtyard.

"Come out."

From the shadows, a figure slowly emerged.

Young, serious, wearing the Uchiha Clan's Clan Uniform.
