"Ninjutsu produces different attack effects by releasing chakra in the right way. So each person's use of ninjutsu is like an opening, while the amount of chakra is like a rock."
He turned slightly as he spoke and explained with a perfectly serious expression, "The Great Fireball Technique is an opening this big. If you try to throw a rock twice its size into it, there's simply no way it'll fit!"
Uchiha Yin's explanation was undeniably simple and clear. Izumi was a bright child to begin with, and she understood at once.
An adorable look of realization immediately crossed her face. "Ah, I understand, Lord Yin! Thank you. Um..."
As she spoke, Uchiha Izumi fidgeted with her fingers, looking hesitant and struggling to get her words out.
At first, Uchiha Yin did not understand what Izumi wanted to say. But when he noticed her gaze repeatedly drifting toward the wooden post she had been using for practice, he instantly understood what she meant.
He promptly put on a heartbroken expression. "How hurtful. To think that I, Uchiha Yin, am less important than training!"
Uchiha Yin's acting was undeniably outstanding, and Izumi believed him immediately. Panic filled her face. "Lord Yin, that isn't what I meant! I..."
Seeing how flustered and helpless Izumi looked, Uchiha Yin could not bear to tease her any further. He quickly placed a hand on her head and said,
"All right, I was only joking. You've made good progress, so keep working hard. I'm heading back now!"
With that, he waved to Uchiha Izumi and left.
Izumi stood there without moving for a long time, her head slightly lowered. Behind the curtain of her hair, her face was wreathed in a delighted smile.
After a little while, she seemed to have finally enjoyed her happiness enough
