"This much was nothing."
Qingyu returned the shuriken to his ninja tool pouch, his tone calm.
"In the future, you'll easily be able to do this too."
66
Qingyu said.
Hearing this, Uchiha Itachi felt that Qingyu was rather different from the other clan members.
He possessed such strength, yet remained so humble-
At that moment, Uchiha Itachi felt that Qingyu's bearing far surpassed his own.
"I'll work hard, Lord Qingyu."
[Collectible trait detected: genius bearing] [D-rank trait: genius bearing] [Effect: you become more broad-minded, and your tolerance for pain increases. [Synthesis: experience pain to upgrade this into a higher-rank trait.] [Collectible trait detected: Itachi's Genjutsu] [C-rank trait: Itachi's Genjutsu] [Effect: grants genjutsu talent equal to that of the young Itachi.] [Synthesis: defeat Uchiha Itachi to upgrade this into a higher-rank trait.]
What the hell was that first trait-
Qingyu grumbled inwardly.
Still, [Itachi's Genjutsu] was good.
Itachi's genjutsu talent ranked among the best in the entire history of the Uchiha Clan. Especially after he awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, "Tsukuyomi" was hailed as the most powerful mental attack.
Although Itachi was still only a child, the foundation of that talent was already there.
Hearing Qingyu express such confidence in her son, Uchiha Mikoto felt deeply pleased.
She stepped forward, gently stroked Itachi's head, then looked up at Qingyu.
What a handsome child.
Mikoto thought that if Itachi grew up to be as handsome as Qingyu, she probably wouldn't have to worry about whether girls would like him.
Itachi seemed humble, but he was actually quite cold toward outsiders. Despite his young age, he already carried himself with solemn maturity.
Mikoto had even worried that he might struggle to find a partner when he grew up.
"Qingyu, thank you."
Mikoto spoke sincerely.
"You're welcome."
Qingyu gave a slight nod.
