Itō Yuying remained unconscious for two whole days. The Anbu ninja came several times during that period, and eventually stayed there to wait. If the doctor had not said that Itō Yuying was merely exhausted and nothing serious was wrong, the Anbu ninja would have gone frantic. This was someone Lord Hokage valued; he could not afford to be careless.
At noon, Itō Yuying slowly opened his eyes, let out a breath, and muttered, "Where am I?" A voice sounded beside his ear. "This is the hospital. You've been unconscious for two days." "Oh." Itō Yuying sat up, saw a masked ninja, and asked, "Were you the one who brought me here?" "Yes. You caused quite a commotion. Lord Hokage wants to see you," the Anbu ninja said. "Oh, even Lord Hokage heard about it. If there's nothing wrong, let's go."
Before long, the two arrived at the Hokage's office. Tobirama Senju looked at Itō Yuying's slightly pale face and asked, "How's your recovery? Are you all right?" Itō Yuying hurriedly replied, "I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern, Lord Hokage." Tobirama Senju smiled. "Can you tell me about that technique of yours?" Here it comes. Looks like I can't avoid it, Itō Yuying thought. He rallied his spirits and said, "To be honest, Lord Hokage, this is another form I developed myself, distinct from chakra. Its training method involves using taijutsu to stimulate a kind of energy."
Tobirama Senju stood up excitedly after hearing this. "You mean someone can train in it even without chakra?" He stared intently at Itō Yuying, afraid he would say no. Itō Yuying thought for a moment. "It should be possible!" Tobirama Senju shouted excitedly, "Excellent!" The sudden shout startled Itō Yuying. Tobirama Senju immediately said awkwardly, "That was rude of me, rude of me." Itō Yuying also smiled to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Suddenly looking a little embarrassed, Tobirama Senju said, "Well, Yuying, was it? Here's the thing. Have you managed to develop chakra yet?" He asked despite already knowing the answer. "No," Itō Yuying replied. "Oh, is that so? Then how about I teach you to develop chakra, and ninjutsu after that?" Hearing this, Itō Yuying thought, Is he about to take me as his disciple? Of course, he knew why Tobirama Senju wanted to take him as a disciple, but then he thought of having Tobirama Senju as his backer. If I don't latch on to someone this powerful now, when will I? With Tobirama Senju protecting me, won't I be able to do whatever I want? Why would I be afraid of that damned asshole Danzo scheming against me? Just watch me poke your asshole to pieces. Seeing Itō Yuying practically drooling as he chuckled foolishly to himself, Tobirama Senju thought, It worked.
"Well, Yuying? Have you made up your mind?" Tobirama Senju asked. Itō Yuying was imagining how to torment Danzo's asshole when Tobirama Senju interrupted his thoughts. "Ahem, ahem. Keep it low-key, low-key." Itō Yuying wiped the corner of his mouth to conceal his embarrassment.
"Your disciple pays his respects, Teacher," Itō Yuying said, bowing deeply three times. Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction, then tossed him a scroll. "This contains the method for developing chakra and the Three Basic Ninja Techniques. Go home and read it first. Tomorrow after school, we'll go to your training spot together and officially begin your training." "Yes, Teacher." Then Itō Yuying left. Watching him leave, Tobirama Senju laughed delightedly. "What a gain, what a gain! Konoha now has a new training method distinct from chakra. As long as he doesn't fall, Konoha will become even stronger. Looks like I'll have to protect him and his family well," he thought gleefully.
After school the next day, Itō Yuying arrived at the training ground. A few minutes later, Tobirama Senju arrived as well. "Master," Itō Yuying greeted him politely. Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction. "How did it go? Could you understand it?" "Yes." Itō Yuying nodded. "But I haven't managed to extract any chakra." Tobirama Senju hummed in acknowledgment. "There's no rush. I'll demonstrate first." With that, he closed his eyes and began gathering chakra, explaining as he went. Following Tobirama Senju's instructions, Itō Yuying began gathering chakra, drawing physical energy from the human body's 130 trillion cells, one cell at a time. So that's how it works. Having a teacher to guide me really makes a difference. Time ticked by, and after five hours, Itō Yuying finally managed to gather chakra. Tobirama Senju nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Very good." He had not expected Itō Yuying to develop chakra so quickly either. Ordinary people needed about a week, while those with talent could do it on the first day. This child truly is a genius, Tobirama Senju thought. "Well, you've learned how to use chakra now. Practice the Three Basic Ninja Techniques when you have time." "Yes, Master!" Itō Yuying said happily. "Yuying, let's stop here today. Practice diligently, and come ask me if there's anything you don't understand."
"All right," Itō Yuying said. "Oh, right, Yuying. I'd like to see that new technique you developed." "Do you mean the Destructo Disc?" "Oh, is that what it's called? A good name. Yes, that Destructo Disc," Tobirama Senju said. Itō Yuying scratched his head. "Where should I throw it? There's no target." "Hmm, I see. Watch this." Tobirama Senju formed hand seals with both hands. "Earth Release: Earth Shaking Arm Technique!" A tall, enormous stone wall rose from the ground, much larger than the hill-sized boulder from a few days earlier. "Go ahead, Yuying," Tobirama Senju said. "All right." Itō Yuying raised one hand. Before long, a serrated disc appeared above his palm, spinning furiously.
Tobirama Senju narrowed his eyes. "So this is the Destructo Disc?" He called out, "Come on!" Itō Yuying said, "It's too dangerous. Please move aside." Tobirama Senju smiled. "It's fine. Your master isn't that weak." He stood five meters in front of the stone wall, his expression full of confidence.
Itō Yuying thought he had a point. After all, this was the Second Hokage, one of the strongest figures in the Shinobi World. "Here I go!" Then he hurled it forward with all his strength. With a hum, the Destructo Disc vanished in an instant, and the stone wall behind Tobirama Senju was instantly sliced across the middle. A confident smile still lingered at the corners of Tobirama Senju's mouth. When he sensed the stone wall behind him being cut in two and collapsing with a boom, he stared at Itō Yuying in terror. Cold sweat instantly slid down his face, and he remained motionless for a long time. Then a bloody cut appeared on his face, with thin trickles of blood flowing from it. Luckily, I deliberately aimed a little to the side, Itō Yuying thought. Otherwise, our Lord Second Hokage would have died.
"Teacher, are you all right?" Itō Yuying asked quietly. Only after a long while did Tobirama Senju recover. "I'm fine. This technique is very powerful. Yuying, don't use this technique lightly, especially against people in the village." "All right," Itō Yuying answered hesitantly. Then he saw Tobirama Senju spread his legs and walk forward very unnaturally.
He said...
"Yuying, that's all for today. Practice the techniques I gave you diligently. I'll check on you later." Itō Yuying responded blankly, thinking, That way of walking looks awfully familiar. Did he wet himself?
Itō Yuying did not dare linger either and hurried home.
