"At last..."
"At last, I succeeded! Hooray!"
Six in the morning.
Uzumaki Naruto stood in the training ground, cheering excitedly. Uchiha Yue watched him from across the way, a faint smile curling at his lips as well.
"Just as expected of Kushina's child—the Uzumaki Bloodline..."
"It really is formidable!"
Clearly, Uchiha Yue had spent the entire night silently accompanying Uzumaki Naruto in training, all for the sake of today's start at the Ninja Academy.
Or rather...
It was to help Uzumaki Naruto shed the label of dead last and embark on the path to becoming number one at the Ninja Academy.
So what exactly had Uchiha Yue taught Uzumaki Naruto?
Uzumaki Naruto was not a member of the Uchiha Clan. Uchiha Yue could hardly help him awaken the Sharingan, could he?
Naturally, he could not!
In truth, when Uchiha Yue taught Uzumaki Naruto, he had only taught him the basics of training. As for secret techniques like Falling Moon Style, Uchiha Yue had only taught Naruto the most basic foundations. It could not be helped—Naruto's talent for training was inconsistent, good one moment and poor the next. Even Uchiha Yue could not get a firm grasp on Naruto's aptitude. So even if he wanted to teach him wholeheartedly, he could only teach him the basics.
However, while teaching Uzumaki Naruto, Yue discovered something very strange.
Whenever Naruto wanted to give up but gritted his teeth and persevered, forcing himself to endure, a special power would spread through his body.
That power...
Was the Uzumaki Bloodline!
Besides the Uchiha Clan's bloodline, Uchiha Yue also possessed the Uzumaki Bloodline. His mother had been a member of the Uzumaki Clan, with the Uzumaki Bloodline flowing through her veins. Only through trials between life and death had Uchiha Yue gradually awakened the Uzumaki Bloodline.
