Background / History
Xuanyu is ostracized by peers at the Training Grounds, where his attempt to share food is ignored and mocked. Uchiha Izumi alone offers him food and treats him sympathetically. When Itachi arrives, he dismisses Xuanyu and takes Izumi away to cultivate; Xuanyu responds with disdain for Itachi but remains unfazed by the broader exclusion. 4
He begins studying shuriken throwing, claiming he can learn the technique by observation despite disbelief from both coaches and students. 4
By the time of Itachi and Shisui's meeting, Xuanyu has been training his body under Might Guy. Although he possesses immense Chakra, he cannot use it: it dissipates from his body “like a funnel.” 15
Xuanyu later endures a painful cellular transformation with Hua Yu's Chakra support. After recovering, he seeks to leave Konoha with a merchant caravan to continue training and pursue his Fourth Tomoe, but Uchiha Hanjō rejects his request. 95
