After leaving the training grounds, Akaseki returned to the clan compound and saw Kagami waiting at his doorstep.
"Clan Elder Kagami, sorry, I'm late." Akaseki immediately jogged over.
"No, it's not time yet. I arrived early," Kagami said calmly.
After a pause, Kagami said, "For the next half month, I'll be giving you special training. I hope that in the finals, you'll be able to protect the Uchiha Clan and uphold Konoha's glory."
"Yeah! I will!" Akaseki nodded fiercely.
Kagami then turned and led Akaseki to a training field within the clan compound—
Akaseki was somewhat surprised. "Clan Elder Kagami, will this place do?"
This place was usually only suitable for Taijutsu practice. Larger Ninjutsu could not be used here at all.
"It's enough. What I'm going to teach you isn't ordinary Five Nature Transformations Ninjutsu—I imagine you don't need me to teach you those Ninjutsu either," Kagami said as if it were only natural.
Clearly, Kagami also knew about Akaseki's performance in the Chunin Exams—his specialty was combination Ninjutsu, and that was Akaseki's main established image at the moment.
Hearing that, Akaseki grew even more interested.
"The clan head specifically asked me to try passing down my strongest secret technique to you." Kagami smiled faintly.
Akaseki was even more delighted upon hearing that.
He did not actually know much about Kagami's special techniques. After all, the "strong fighter profiles" in books were not only outdated, but written for outsiders rather than insiders; they did not record the methods of their own powerful fighters.
However, Akaseki at least knew that Kagami was one of the three strongest members of the Uchiha Clan at present!
"Of course, I don't know whether you'll be able to learn it. If it were really that easy to learn, I would have passed it on
