Chapter 264

264. Chapter 264: Teaching with the Answer

In the inner courtyard.

Uchiha Gin and Sarutobi Hiruzen stood opposite each other, Senju Hashirama brought the remaining few children to watch, wanting to see if this Gin-san, who had just taken office, really had any real talent.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

"Total is 10,000 ryo, but you only have 9,527 ryo here~"

With a profiteering smile on his face, Uchiha Gin counted the wrinkled banknotes in his hand again.

Opposite him, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a pained expression. This money was the New Year's money he had finally saved up.

"Clearly marked price, only 10,000 ryo, and you can surpass your father and become the No. 1 Sarutobi!"

Uchiha Gin had no psychological burden at all. He stuffed the child's hard-earned money into his pocket and then reached out to ask for the remaining 473 ryo.

"Danzo, lend me 500."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had turned all his pockets inside out and couldn't find another copper coin, had to choose off-field assistance.

"Not a cent."

It wasn't that Danzo was stingy. Previously, because a certain Shimura high-level official was addicted to lottery, he had reached out his evil hand to his ignorant son in a state of madness, not only forcibly collecting his New Year's money for many years but even cutting his daily pocket money to 500 ryo.

"Hiruzen, you know my family's situation. My New Year's money has long been confiscated, and my pocket money has been stopped."

Looking at his best friend's embarrassment, the corner of Little Danzo's mouth curled into a hidden arc.

Actually, he had 500 ryo on him, tucked away in his macro-sized butt crack. It was the precious fund Little Danzo had prepared to buy candy; how could he lend it to the monkey?

"Don't look at me, my money was spent on snacks on the way~"

Akimichi Torifu shook his head like a rattle, the snacks bulging in his arms testifying for him.

"Sorry Hiruzen, I didn't bring my wallet today."

Mitokado Homura scratched his head in embarrassment, the honest look under his glasses making Sarutobi Hiruzen believe him.

"Don't look at me, how can you spend a girl's money?"

Utatane Koharu pouted, covering the money bag at her waist.

"Sigh~ take it and use it, Hiruzen, pay me back when you have it."

Uchiha Kagami, who had been influenced by the Young Pioneers' ideological and moral character, sighed slightly, then took out the smallest denomination coin from his golden wallet and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety.

"Ah? Thank you so much, Kagami. From today on, you are my foster father!"

Holding the 500 ryo coin, which was heavier than a thousand jin, Sarutobi Hiruzen was moved to tears. As the saying goes, true feelings are seen in adversity. Sure enough, Danzo and the others who grew up together were all just fair-weather friends.

"Phew~ total is 10,000! Seeing that you are so sincere, I'll round it down for you, no need to find change~"

Putting away the 500 ryo handed over by Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Gin generously rounded it down for the other party.

"..."

Give me back my 27 ryo! I could buy a steamed bun, you bastard!

"Don't be excited, my course will definitely make you feel it's worth the money."

Reaching out to rub the excited Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Gin pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose very seriously, then said.

"I see you have all five attributes, and the five-element ninjutsu are also handy..."

"Uh, that's right."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was preparing to ask Uchiha Gin for his 27 ryo, had a hint of hidden pride on his small face.

"However, if you keep practicing five-element ninjutsu step by step, I'm afraid it's a bit of a waste of your talent."

Uchiha Gin shook his head and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was full of doubt, and said.

"But Father taught me this way?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had received elite education from Sarutobi Sasuke since childhood, practiced the five-element ninjutsu treasured in the clan every day.

"Have you heard of combined ninjutsu?"

Pushing his glasses, Uchiha Gin asked meaningfully.

Not bad, he just wanted to use Sarutobi Hiruzen's future signature ninjutsu to pluck this tuition fee. Who told him to be the most loving Uchiha who couldn't do things that cheat people of money.

"Combined ninjutsu?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was hearing this term for the first time.

"It can also be called composite ninjutsu. Your understanding of five-element ninjutsu is extremely strong, and you are definitely suitable for learning combined ninjutsu. If you succeed, your future will definitely be limitless."

Speaking of combined ninjutsu, Uchiha Gin's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look. He then clapped his hands and walked to the open space in the inner courtyard.

"Words are useless, I'll demonstrate it for you."

"Ha! Cousin Gin is actually going to demonstrate it himself?"

Senju Hashirama, on the side, was surprised to hear Uchiha Gin go on stage himself.

"Kagami, does this uncle of yours not fight usually?"

The few little ones, who originally didn't think it was anything great, after seeing Lord Hokage's surprised expression, asked the two Uchihas in the field one after another.

"Well... I don't seem to have seen Uncle fight, or even spar."

Thinking hard for a while while rubbing his chin, Uchiha Kagami shook his head, looked at Uchiha Gin, who was warming up, with full curiosity, and explained.

"Alright, Hiruzen student, watch carefully. I'll only demonstrate once. If you want to see it again, you'll have to pay more."

Moving his fingers, Uchiha Gin reminded Sarutobi Hiruzen beside him.

"..."

Cheating once isn't enough, you still want to pluck long-term? Are you even human?

"Let me think... first is Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet."

In the field, Uchiha Gin thought for a while, raised one hand, formed an In seal, and shouted.

The little ones held their breath, wanting to see Uchiha Gin's strength and how it really was.

Only to see a huge dragon head made of mud emerge from the ground beside Uchiha Gin, larger and taller than a person.

As the dragon head opened its ferocious mouth, countless cannonballs made of mud, the size of basketballs, poured toward the target in the open space.

"Is it just Earth Dragon Bullet?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was already accustomed to this kind of ninjutsu, couldn't help but frown. If it was only to this extent, he would call customer service to apply for a refund.

"Don't worry, it's not over yet~"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was a bit indignant on the side, Uchiha Gin smiled and told him not to worry, then took a deep breath.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet!"

The sudden heat made Sarutobi Hiruzen sweat. Looking at the flames Uchiha Gin spat out, he was a bit confused for a while.

"Composite Ninjutsu: Earth Dragon Flame Flow!"

"Boom!!!" The innocent target exploded instantly.

Anyway, this ninjutsu hadn't been developed yet, so Uchiha Gin used it without any psychological burden. Looking at the burning Earth Dragon Bullet, Uchiha Gin raised his eyebrows at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was dumbfounded beside him, and said.

"How about it?"

Uchiha Gin looked at the big pit that had been blasted out and nodded with satisfaction. He wasn't as watery as someone else; a composite ninjutsu didn't even punch through the roof.

"This... how did you do it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had seen Earth Dragon Bullet and Fire Dragon Bullet, but this was the first time he had seen two released together, and the power caused wasn't as simple as 1+1.

"Tsk, Cousin Gin really has two brushes!"

Senju Hashirama was also seeing this kind of composite ninjutsu for the first time. He was also a talented ninja with all five attributes, but he had never thought that two ninjutsu could be combined and released.

Many ninjas, after possessing multiple attributes, first thought of fusing chakra properties, trying to create bloodline limits to benefit future generations, and had never thought of working hard on ninjutsu.

"Nothing else, just practice makes perfect~"

Uchiha Gin reached out and pressed on Sarutobi Hiruzen's dislocated chin, smiling and telling the other party his experience.

"Is it really that simple?"

It was really that simple. The release of composite ninjutsu was very demanding on the proficiency of ninjutsu. Only with a sufficiently deep understanding of these ninjutsu could one practice composite ninjutsu.

"Want to learn?"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was bowing his head in thought, Uchiha Gin smiled like a fox stealing a chicken, waiting for the prey to enter the trap.

"Learn, learn, learn!"

"Seeing that you paid the tuition, come to my house tomorrow to get the learning materials. Don't bring any gifts, especially strawberry milk or anything."

Smiling with satisfaction, Uchiha Gin patted Sarutobi Hiruzen's dark brown dog head three times, then instructed.

"Received!"

"Akimichi Torifu, right? I don't have anything I can teach you here."

Sending away the excited Sarutobi Hiruzen, the second one summoned was Akimichi Torifu. Looking at the little fat man with a timid expression, Uchiha Gin touched his chin with difficulty.

This kind of secret technique ninja was very troublesome to teach. If he really taught him what he needed, he was afraid he would be blocked at the door by the Akimichi clan the next day.

"Sure enough..."

Hearing this, Akimichi Torifu lowered his head in disappointment. Just now, he remembered the composite ninjutsu Uchiha Gin performed vividly.

This curly-haired guy who didn't look reliable seemed to have two brushes, but as a member of Ino-Shika-Cho, he was born to only learn family secret techniques.

Gin-san never lets students down!

"Although I can't teach you knowledge about ninjutsu, but... taste this~"

Only to see Uchiha Gin rummaging through his bag for a while, then pulled out a cookie and handed it to Akimichi Torifu, who was disappointed.

"This is?"

Looking at the plain-looking cookie, Akimichi Torifu, although a bit confused, didn't doubt the enticing fragrance. After quickly taking it, he didn't worry about poison or anything and threw it directly into his mouth.

"Crunch, crunch~ Oishii!"

After entering his mouth, Akimichi Torifu's eyes lit up immediately.

It was the first time he had eaten such a fragrant, crispy cookie.

"Are there more?"

Soon, the cookie was eaten into his belly. Akimichi Torifu, still wanting more, reached out to ask for it again.

"You glutton, didn't you notice anything different?"

Uchiha Gin smiled and knocked away Akimichi Torifu's greasy little hand, asking with a bad temper.

The cookie Uchiha Gin gave Akimichi Torifu just now wasn't ordinary goods; it was produced from the system's 【Poro Cookie】.

【Poro Cookie: After eating, it can enhance a small amount of physical fitness, but there is a chance of side effects. (Eating limit 10 pieces)】

Side effect: Volume increases by 10%.

"Except for sweating a little, I don't feel anything different?"

Touching his slightly warm body up and down, Akimichi Torifu looked up in confusion at Uchiha Gin and asked.

"Torifu, why did you grow up?"

Just then, the few little ones watching the excitement let out exclamations at the same time. Looking at Akimichi Torifu, who had grown a few centimeters taller on the spot, they were all surprised and their tongues were tied.

"Ah? Damn!"

After the reminder from his companions, Akimichi Torifu came to his senses. Looking at his slightly shorter sleeves, he jumped out with beautiful Konoha words.

"Good luck to you~"

Not expecting this little fat man's luck to be so good, he had eaten ten pieces in a row, and only at the tenth piece did he encounter the only side effect, which allowed Uchiha Gin's dream of breaking twenty centimeters to be realized.

"Uncle Gin... no, Gin-san, this is all my money, please give me another piece!"

After a short period of confusion, Akimichi Torifu, at a speed that didn't match his figure, took out a stack of banknotes hidden tightly from his waistband and respectfully handed them to Uchiha Gin.

Akimichi Torifu had just confirmed that the change in his body didn't have any side effects, meaning this change in body shape was permanent.

The Akimichi clan's Multi-Size Technique grew proportionally, so the members of the Akimichi clan usually ate until they were round and fat, just to make their Meat Tank bigger and rounder than others.

"Not bad, not bad, very discerning."

Smiling, he took the banknotes handed over by Akimichi Torifu and counted them roughly. There were probably tens of thousands of ryo, which was a huge sum for a child.

"This cookie was made by a hidden baking master I met in the Land of Honey. It is said to have the magical effect of becoming bigger and thicker."

Uchiha Gin shifted the blame again.

"Sigh~ it's a pity that the master went to make desserts for the Sage of Six Paths after making this batch of cookies."

"Please bestow it upon me, San-san!"

Akimichi Torifu heard this and bowed his head.

Since Akimichi Torifu was so sincere, Uchiha Gin naturally couldn't let the kid down.

"Seeing that we are master and disciple, you come to my house tomorrow too. I have the last one left there. Seeing that it's fate, I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, San-san!"

Akimichi Torifu bowed his head like pounding garlic.

"By the way, don't bring any gifts. I don't like strawberry milk~"

After Akimichi Torifu left happily, the only glasses-wearer among the little ones, Mitokado Homura, was pushed up.

"Mitokado Homura, right? You little guy has something~"

Uchiha Gin, looking at the data, raised his glasses in surprise. He didn't expect that among the little ones, the most transparent Mitokado Homura actually had good talent for space-time ninjutsu.

"Gin-san, this is my tuition~"

Having Mitokado Homura as a precedent, the little girl took out her fragrant little purse at the first opportunity and respectfully handed it to Uchiha Gin with both hands after a flash of reluctance on her face.

"Oh~ female students are more careful."

Taking Mitokado Homura's little purse and looking at the cute rabbit embroidered on it, Uchiha Gin's thoughts flew toward the moon involuntarily.

I don't know how Biluo and Yueji have been doing lately. Calculating the time, the day of this month should be here.

"Little Koharu, what is your dream?"

Counting the banknotes in the little rabbit purse, Uchiha Gin didn't take them all, thoughtfully left some money for Utatane Koharu to buy snacks, handed the shriveled little rabbit back, and asked.

"Huh?"

Having a little rabbit purse that was hungry and shriveled, Utatane Koharu was completely stunned after hearing Uchiha Gin's inexplicable question.

This is Gin-san's special teaching class, not some strange talent show, right?

"I... I want to become the strongest female ninja in Konoha!"

After confirming that she hadn't misheard, Utatane Koharu pinched her small pink fist and shouted with a slightly red face.

"Very good! Very spirited."

No matter how absurd the student's dream was, as a virtuous teacher, Uchiha Gin definitely wouldn't do anything to dampen the student's enthusiasm. He nodded in recognition.

"Gin-san thinks I can?"

"Anyone with a dream is great~"

As the saying goes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves behind slap on the reef.

As long as there is an Uchiha in Konoha for one day, Utatane Koharu's dream is destined to be unachievable.

"I read the data, Koharu student, your manipulation of chakra is very delicate. Are you interested in learning medical ninjutsu?"

Uchiha Gin looked at Utatane Koharu, who was full of anticipation, with a faint light in his eyes, and said slowly.

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Utatane Koharu, who was originally looking forward to it, was hit hard, her small face instantly turned pale, and her whole aura became very low.

"Sure enough, I can only be a medical ninja?"
