"Big Brother, I want to learn too, I want to learn too..."

The ruffled-haired Izuna sprinted straight to Uchiha Shin, shoved Uchiha Hana aside with his backside, and began shaking Uchiha Shin's arm while acting like a spoiled child. Haha.

Although Madara didn't act as spoiled as Izuna, his eager gaze was enough to show that he, too, desperately wanted to learn this powerful technique.

Watching Madara and Izuna like this, Uchiha Shin couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Haha.

It seems this big brother of yours still carries quite a bit of prestige.

"I'll teach you both, I'll teach you both..."

"However, the prerequisite for learning this technique is the ability to refine and control chakra with extreme precision."

"Izuna, you've only just come into contact with chakra, and Madara, you're much the same. If you want to master this, you're going to have to endure quite a bit of hardship. Can you stick with it?"

Uchiha Shin smiled like a kind, elderly father.

But fearing that three-year-old Izuna and four-year-old Madara might not be able to handle the suffering, Uchiha Shin gave them a preemptive warning, clarifying the requirements for learning.

Madara and Izuna nodded firmly, speaking in unison: "No matter how hard or difficult it is, I want to learn!"

"In that case, starting tomorrow, whenever I have time, I will supervise your practice of chakra refinement and control techniques."

"Of course, that goes for you too, Hana. Do you understand?"

Uchiha Shin turned his head to look at Uchiha Hana, who was still standing there with a fawning expression, and gave her the same instruction.

"I understand, Master Shin, consider it done!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hana gave Uchiha Shin a thumbs-up, her face beaming with joy, followed by a flash of white light from her teeth.

It was her way of saying that Master Shin could rest easy knowing she would handle things.

If this girl's face were any rounder, and she had two pickled radishes stuck to her eyebrows, she would be the spitting image of a Warring States era Might Guy with thick brows.

Uchiha Shin suddenly felt the urge to make a snarky comment.

"Alright, let's head home!"

"Who knows? Maybe Mother will make plum rice tonight."

Uchiha Shin ruffled Izuna and Madara's hair, bestowing a "Big Brother's Head-Pat" upon each of them, before taking their hands and starting toward home.

"Plum rice?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Hana felt her salivary glands instantly go into overdrive, and a look of pure gluttony appeared on her face, completely unmasked.

"Haha, let's have a race! Whoever gets home first gets an extra bowl of plum rice, how about that?"

Uchiha Hana's eyes darted around as she instantly thought of a reasonable excuse to score an extra bowl of plum rice.

She said this with a grin to Uchiha Shin, Madara, and Izuna.

"The race begins..."

"I'm off first, hahahaha..."

After leaving behind a trail of silver-bell-like laughter, Uchiha Hana took off running toward home at full speed.

"This girl, she really doesn't treat herself like an outsider!"

Watching Uchiha Hana disappear into the distance, Uchiha Shin suddenly felt that perhaps this kind of thick-skinned, carefree personality was better suited for survival in this era.

"How despicable, Sister Hana..."

"She actually snuck off first!"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, let's run too!"

Izuna expressed his disdain for Uchiha Hana's behavior, but his feet quickened nonetheless, and he pulled Uchiha Shin and Madara along as they all bolted toward home.

"Hiss, as expected of Lord Tajima's eldest son, to have such strength at his age!"

"It's simply terrifying!"

The Chunin responsible for guarding the training ground stared in shock at the center of the field, at the massive stone slab that had shattered into countless pebbles...

Thinking of the sheer destruction caused by Uchiha Shin's casual strike, he couldn't help but gasp, muttering to himself.

One had to realize that the massive stone slabs laid out in the training ground were no ordinary rocks; they were cut from extremely hard quartz.

To be able to shatter a quartz slab into countless pebbles with a single blow was enough to show just how formidable Uchiha Shin's strength was.

Most importantly, Lord Tajima's eldest son, Uchiha Shin, was only five years old this year.

Thinking of this, the Chunin guarding the training ground felt that this matter had to be reported to the Clan Head.

After all, with the strength Uchiha Shin possessed now, he would undoubtedly become a pillar of the Uchiha Clan in the future, perhaps even the Clan Head himself.

Therefore, such a gifted ninja of the Uchiha Clan must be valued and protected, and the clan should do everything in its power to safeguard his growth, even if it meant sacrificing other clansmen.

Only by valuing and protecting the talented ninjas within the clan would the Uchiha Clan have a brighter future.

This was the simple, straightforward thought currently held by this ordinary Uchiha Chunin.

After all, everything was for the sake of the clan; only when the clan flourished would they fare better.

Consequently, this Chunin hurriedly handed over his current duty of guarding the training grounds to the Genin assisting him and rushed toward the briefing room.

He knew that at this hour, the Clan Leader would certainly be in the briefing room, working and handling clan affairs.

When the Chunin arrived at the briefing room, he reported everything he had seen and heard regarding Uchiha Shin and his group at the training grounds to Uchiha Tajima truthfully.

After listening to the Chunin's report, Uchiha Tajima nodded, signaling that he understood.

Having finished his report and taken his leave of Uchiha Tajima, the Chunin returned to the training grounds in high spirits, once again diligently standing guard at his post.

"Tap!"

"Tap!"

Uchiha Tajima straightened his posture, resting his right hand casually on the desk while his index finger tapped rhythmically against the surface; his estimation of his eldest son had risen even higher.

Shin, that fellow...

He is truly worthy of being my son.

Haha...

Uchiha Tajima muttered to himself, clearly pleased.

It seems that when he sparred with me last time, he still held back his true strength.

Not only did he improve upon the Clone Technique to create the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique!

I never expected that he would secretly develop a move capable of shattering a quartz slab in a single strike!

Uchiha Tajima's eyes were sharp and discerning; he knew that for Uchiha Shin to shatter a quartz slab in one blow, he must have utilized some form of explosive secret technique.

However, whether this explosive technique belonged to the category of Ninjutsu or Taijutsu, he could not be sure.

To be honest, Uchiha Tajima was truly curious.

Standing from the perspective of the Clan Leader, he wondered if the explosive secret technique Uchiha Shin had developed would be suitable for promotion throughout the Uchiha Clan.

Did practicing this explosive technique have any rigid requirements regarding talent or elemental affinity?

If this move were suitable for widespread use, then as long as every Chunin in the Uchiha Clan learned it...

Then, in future battles against the Senju Clan, the Taijutsu prowess of the Uchiha Clan's ninjas would surely be able to suppress the ninjas of the Senju Clan.

However, Uchiha Tajima thought again: if it were truly suitable for promotion within the Uchiha Clan...

Given the character of that fellow Shin, he surely would have handed it over to him along with the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique after their last spar.

Since he had not handed it over now, it must mean that this explosive secret technique had various limitations and was simply not suitable for widespread promotion.

Uchiha Tajima believed that, given the capacity Uchiha Shin had displayed thus far, if there were truly a way to increase the strength of the Uchiha Clan, he would certainly not hide it or keep it to himself.
