After receiving Kushina Uzumaki Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Yue diligently practiced according to the instructions on the Ninjutsu scrolls. However, the results were far from comparable to those under Minato Namikaze's personal guidance. In just one afternoon, under Minato Namikaze's instruction, Uchiha Yue could clearly feel the progress in his training. In fact, under Minato Namikaze's guidance, he even completed the next stage of his Wind Uchiha Yue Chakra Nature Transformation training.

Moreover, Minato Namikaze could teach Uchiha Yue not only the training of Wind Chakra Nature Transformation, but also some of the subtle applications of Wind Style Chakra Uchiha Yue. Therefore, Uchiha Yue thought that he must seek Minato Namikaze's guidance again when he had time. However, in order to ensure that Minato Namikaze didn't feel cheated, after receiving Minato Namikaze's instruction, Uchiha Yue also shared some of his own techniques for using the Rasengan with Minato Namikaze.

Ultimately, both Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze gained a great deal from their afternoon exchange.

However, when Uchiha Yue told Minato Namikaze about the next stage of Rasengan training, Minato Namikaze felt a little guilty.

After all, at this stage, Minato Namikaze could only instruct Uchiha Yue on some techniques for using Wind Style Chakra Rasengan. But what Uchiha Yue taught Minato Namikaze was solid Ninjutsu, naturally making Minato Namikaze feel like he had gotten the better deal. Of course, Uchiha Yue couldn't possibly have such a method in mind, because he knew that he wasn't the one who truly created and perfected the Rasengan. So, Uchiha Yue found Minato Namikaze's guilty expression somewhat amusing.

Immediately afterwards...

After Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze finished exchanging their Ninjutsu insights, the two returned to the living room and had dinner with Kushina Uzumaki and Yuri Kurama. Because Shichen Kurama and Yepu Kurama were both away on missions, Yuri Kurama had been staying with Uchiha Yue and the others for some time. Moreover, Yuri Kurama Uchiha Yue, and the two peers gradually became close friends who could talk about anything.

However, during dinner, Uchiha Yue noticed that Yuri Kurama seemed a bit down, probably because she hadn't seen her parents in a long time. So, after Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze had arranged to exchange Ninjutsu tips every afternoon, Uchiha Yue approached Yuri Kurama and asked, "Lily, you seem a little off today. Is it because your parents have been gone for so long?"

"Um."

Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Yuri Kurama nodded gently and said, "Father and Mother have been gone for a long time. They've never been away for so long before. I heard from Kushina that Father and Mother went on a mission, and they might be in danger. So, I'm very worried about Father and Mother. Tsuki-kun, do you know anything about them?"

"Have no idea."

As soon as Yuri Kurama finished speaking, Uchiha Yue shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that Kushina Uzumaki truly a loose tongue. How could she tell young Yuri Kurama about Shichen Kurama and Yepu Kurama's mission? You see, Yuri Kurama hadn't received any ninja training and didn't have the maturity of children from ninja clans. She didn't even know what her parents' mission was.

Therefore, as long as Kushina Uzumaki could comfort Yuri Kurama a little, Uchiha Yue thought that Yuri Kurama wouldn't worry about her parents. Then, seeing Uchiha Yue 'Yuri Kurama sullen appearance, and thinking about how he had taken away the Monster Ido that belonged to Yuri Kurama, Tsukito felt even more guilty.

Then, Uchiha Yue glanced at the scenery outside and smiled at Yuri Kurama in front of her, saying, "Lily, how about I take you for a walk? That might cheer you up!"

"OK!"

At this moment, Yuri Kurama's previous gloom vanished, and her eyes sparkled with joy, clearly indicating that she also wanted to go out for a stroll.

Furthermore, because the Monster Ido sealed within Uchiha Yue was originally taken from Yuri Kurama's body, Yuri Kurama had always felt a sense of closeness towards Uchiha Yue. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Yuri Kurama and Uchiha Yue to become such close friends in just one month. Then, seeing that Yuri Kurama's mood had improved a bit, Uchiha Yue returned to his room to tidy up his Genin tool bag to prepare for any unforeseen events, and then left their residence with Yuri Kurama.

However, to be honest, there's practically nothing to do in Licorice Town, where Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki are. Compared to the bustling Konoha, Licorice Town has only a few places to visit. As for Uchiha Yue's favorite spot, it's the riverside within Licorice Town. In the past, the people of Licorice Town made a living by growing licorice, so the commoners diverted a river into the Licorice Town. However, due to the gradual decline of Licorice Town, that river is no longer frequented.

Long ago, Uchiha Yue had already familiarized himself with the situation in Licorice Town, knowing which part of the Licorice Town was relatively quiet and suitable for relaxation. So, after leaving home with Yuri Kurama, Uchiha Yue took Yuri Kurama in Licorice Town. However, Uchiha Yue never expected that when he arrived at the Yuri Kurama with Licorice Town, he would suddenly see a strange figure lying there.

To familiarize himself with the area Licorice Town, Uchiha Yue used his astonishing memory to memorize the appearances of almost every resident. Therefore, when he saw the stranger appear by the river, Uchiha Yue Purple Eye to scrutinize the stranger before him, and asked, "You don't seem to be from Licorice Town. Who are you?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's words, the person lying by the river slowly sat up, frowning as he asked, "A ninja?"

"Um?"

The moment the other person finished speaking, Uchiha Yue had already used his Purple Eye to observe their appearance and discovered that the other person was a boy about the same age as himself. Moreover, what Uchiha Yue remembered most vividly was the boy's smooth red hair. Immediately, Uchiha Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said solemnly, "You are a ninja from the Yakunin Village?"

As a result, the solemn look in Uchiha Yue's eyes gradually faded, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles."

"You've come at the perfect time!"
