Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 29 Are you really... going to kick me out?

Time flies, and another fifteen days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Yan Yi arrived at the shrine where she usually trained, just like always. The morning air was fresh and the scenery around the shrine was beautiful.

However, Yan Yi had no interest in sightseeing. After nearly a month of grueling training, his body was covered in wounds and injuries, and he had lost count of how much blood he had shed.

Yesterday, I saw that meaningful look in the teacher's eyes... I wonder what it meant... Could today's torment be even worse?

Yan Yi's face contorted in pain. Although he could grit his teeth and bear it, it really hurt...

From the initial physical punishments to the later full-body pain tolerance training...

Yan Yi couldn't think of any part of her body that hadn't been tortured, not even...

"I hope the teacher won't make me test my pain tolerance again today..."

Yan trembles at the thought of this.

With a few quick steps, Yan Yi finally arrived at the shrine, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

"Huh...?"

To his surprise, the teacher wasn't waiting for him on the steps of the shrine gate today; he wondered where she had gone...

Just as he was lost in thought, a kunai flew rapidly from the distant woods.

"!!"

Yan Yi's ears instantly caught the faint sound of the sharp blade cutting through the air. Without even thinking, he flipped over and dodged the kunai that was shooting towards his forehead.

rub!

The kunai was stuck deep in the ground, several centimeters into the soil...

Yan Yi was secretly alarmed. If such a throw hit him, it would be an instant kill.

However, before he could catch his breath, a dozen or so gusts of wind suddenly rang out. Yan Yi was startled and quickly rolled over to dodge, while simultaneously pulling out the kunai stuck in the ground.

Ding ding—

Unable to dodge them all, Yan Yi could only try to parry. After deflecting two shuriken, one still grazed his cheek...

"hiss..."

A bloody gash instantly appeared on his fair cheek, and blood slowly trickled down the wound...

"Yan Yi, you're still too careless! On the battlefield, you'll only be throwing your life away like this!"

The teacher's voice struck Yan Yi like a thunderbolt, causing his small frame to involuntarily shrink back...

"Teacher...I..."

Yan Yi looked at the old man emerging from the woods with some fear, her heart filled with worry, wondering how her teacher would punish her this time...

The attack just now was clearly a test the teacher was using to examine him.

In regular training, I can usually dodge most of them, but my reaction time to this kind of sudden attack is still a beat slow...

The old man, leaning on his cane, said calmly to Yan Yi, "Extend your hand..."

Yan Yi obediently reached out her hand...

The old man showed no remorse, pulling a heavy wooden board from his sleeve and striking Yan Yi's palm hard.

"Ow!"

The excruciating pain brought tears to Yan Yi's eyes instantly, but she quickly wiped her face haphazardly with her sleeve.

He dared not continue crying, because if the teacher saw him start to cry, she would strip him naked and beat him severely...

"Cough cough... Get up..." the old man casually instructed.

Looking at Yan Yi kneeling on the ground, the old man still felt a pang of pity.

This almost manic training method is the first time in all these years that I've seen such a young child persevere to this extent.

However, it must be said that Tajima's youngest son is indeed very talented to be a ninja... Apart from his bad habit of crying easily, he has no particular shortcomings.

Yan Yi quickly scrambled to his feet, dusted off his pants, and looked at the teacher with a timid expression...

"..."

The old man remained silent, not uttering a single word, but just as he had when he first met Yan Yi, he scrutinized the boy from head to toe...

"Teacher...?" Yan Yi, who had been waiting for a long time without receiving any instructions, looked at the old man with some confusion and fear.

"Go back... From today onwards, I am no longer your teacher. You have disappointed me, and I will no longer teach you..."

The old man turned his back, completely ignoring the boy who was staring at him with wide, incredulous eyes.

"Teacher! I...did I do something wrong? I'm sorry!"

Yan Yi panicked a little. He had persisted in this kind of grueling training for so many days because this old man was indeed quite skilled.

To this day, Yan Yi's physical condition, chakra reserves, and chakra control have all increased exponentially.

This rapid progress was inextricably linked to the old man's relentless training method of whipping him forward, so Yan Yi didn't want to give up on cultivation just like that...

I need to help Brother Ban achieve great things as soon as possible, how can I stop here...?

"Get lost! I'm annoyed just looking at you..."

The old man's heartless words pierced Yan Yi's heart. Over the past few days, even though the old man had tormented her to the point of near death every day, Yan Yi knew that he actually cared about her.

Whenever he fainted during training, his teacher would always carefully check his injuries and apply medicine to treat him... Even if he didn't say it out loud, this old man still took good care of him in the small details.

But now that her teacher has uttered such cruel words, threatening to "expel her from the school," Yan, who is always emotionally sensitive, couldn't hold back her tears again...

"Waaaah... Teacher, I promise I'll work even harder, please..."

Before Yan could finish speaking, the old man turned around and glared at him fiercely with his Sharingan.

"I don't want to say it a second time, now get out of here!!"

His tone was extremely harsh, and his gaze was as if he were looking at an enemy, which made Yan Yi's mood plummet to rock bottom.

Yan Yi lowered her head, secretly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, turned around, and walked out of the shrine with a dejected look on her face.

I must be too stupid. I failed the teacher's test again today... Someone as stupid as me really doesn't deserve to continue cultivating under his tutelage...?

There were only thirty-three steps leading down from the shrine, but Yan Yi took a long time to descend them. Even as he reached the last step, he couldn't help but look back one last time...

......

Seeing Yan Yi finally leave, the old man plopped down on the ground, feeling extremely sad.

Yan Yi is a good kid and a very talented young man. After just one month of training, his physical abilities are already comparable to some of the young ninjas in the clan.

Yet, this promising talent has a problem with being extremely emotional and prone to tears.

The old man sat on the ground, gazing at the steps leading to the shrine entrance, his eyes filled with deep melancholy.

For the Uchiha clan, emotions are inherently much richer than those of other clan members, and the richness of their emotions is particularly outstanding within the entire clan...

This is not good for Yan Yi, who is destined to become a ninja; excessive emotions will cloud a ninja's judgment.

But for the Uchiha clan... this is also a good thing, as it's likely that he'll awaken his Sharingan soon... and the Mangekyou Sharingan is also highly probable.

The old man touched his eyes, sighed deeply, and murmured to himself, "Yan Yi... your future path will be extremely difficult. Although your teacher is strict with you, it's all in the hope that you will be able to realize your dreams in the future..."

"It's all about timing and fate... It's a pity I won't live to see that day..."

The old man sat quietly on the ground, staring blankly at the sky.

He wanted to calm his emotions down; this was the last lesson he had just given Yan Yi.

Yan Yi completed all the assignments he had given him perfectly. Despite the harsh treatment, the boy didn't hold a grudge... Instead, he cried and didn't want to leave.

"What a...good child. It's such a pity...it's too cruel..."
