Chapter 75

"For the Uchiha, even if they disagree, I will firmly support Jin Jun's ascension!"

He made up his mind.

Seeing this, Mikoto couldn't help but smile.

"That's more like it."

"Itachi are the Uchiha clan head; if Itachi truly wish to do something, even the elders cannot stop Itachi."

"This is the authority of the clan head itself; Itachi were just a bit too easygoing before."

Fugaku nodded.

However.

Everyone knows the logic, but old habits die hard!

The couple chatted briefly, then tidied up the study before leisurely returning to their bedroom to sleep.

They fell asleep quickly.

It was Itachi, however, who suffered from insomnia for once.

His mind kept turning over the words Uchiha Jin had spoken today.

The more he thought, the more sense it made.

His nerves naturally grew increasingly excited, which only made it harder to fall asleep.

"Master is truly amazing!"

"To analyze such a complex matter so thoroughly."

"No wonder Master has been listless all day; he must have seen through everything long ago, which is why he finds life meaningless."

"I must surpass Master."

"In both martial power and wisdom!"

"..."

The next day, early morning.

Uchiha Itachi, with panda eyes, stood right at Jin's doorstep.

Yes.

He had indeed lost sleep last night, and that was truly no fault of his own.

Anyone troubled by a question for a long time would feel excited upon suddenly finding the answer.

A single sleepless night was nothing to Itachi.

Bang, bang, bang!

Taking a deep breath, Itachi knocked on the door.

But, unfortunately.

After a long while, there was no response whatsoever.

Uchiha Itachi stood there, utterly bewildered.

His small head was filled with question marks; he could not fathom what was happening.

Could it be that the teacher had gone out?

With a look of suspicion, he knocked on the door again.

Uh...

Still no response.

After trying several more times with no answer, Itachi could only run to find the Uchiha Clan patrol team.

Yes.

As a top noble house in Konoha, the Uchiha patrol team, while perhaps not as exaggerated as the Hyuga, was certainly not to be underestimated.

"Brother Tetsuka," Uchiha Itachi spoke, "are Itachi on patrol today?"

Uchiha Tetsuka looked utterly shocked.

Yet he still smiled, bowed his head, and said to Itachi, "It's Itachi. Is something wrong?"

"Brother Tetsuka, did Itachi see Uchiha Jin go out today?"

Uchiha... Jin?

Upon hearing that name, Tetsuka's expression became extremely complex.

It held both admiration and respect, as well as disdain and irritation, like a dye shop in full swing.

That was right!

He belonged to the Uchiha radical faction; among those who disliked Uchiha Jin the most back then was him.

Unlike the three brothers of Uchiha Yoshio, Uchiha Tetsuka possessed his own pride; even if he disliked someone, he would not bully or humiliate them.

But, similarly.

To truly learn that this person he disliked the most had awakened the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan first.

He was truly envious.

He even felt that Heaven was unfair; why let that waste awaken it?

While they, who had put in the effort, could only stop at the Three Tomoe.

Precisely because of this.

Upon hearing that name, he naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Itachi, do Itachi have business with Lord Jin?" Tetsuka could not help but ask.

Uchiha Itachi's face remained calm: "Lord Jin is my teacher, but today I cannot get the door to open."

He was not stupid.

Although Tetsuka said nothing, his complex expression said everything.

However, he did not care.

It was just trivial matters; he was unwilling to waste time on such things.

It was enough for him to know his teacher was powerful; he did not care about other thoughts.

"Teacher?!" Tetsuka looked bewildered and could not help but speak: "Does Jin have the qualification... never mind!"

"I suppose the Clan Head has his reasons. If Itachi want to find Lord Jin, Itachi had best come back around noon."

"At this time, Lord Jin is likely still sleeping."

Yes.

Uchiha Tetsuka had pride, but he did not show it.

Although he wanted to advise Itachi, he kept his mouth shut.

Speaking ill of others behind their backs was something he would not do.

Since the Clan Head had already decided, it was beyond his power to interfere.

Regarding Uchiha Jin, he was quite familiar.

After all, as someone frequently responsible for patrol, he had to know the situation in his assigned area at the very least.

Uchiha Jin was certainly no exception.

Ever since this fellow graduated from the Ninja Academy, as long as there were no village missions, he had not been seen waking up before 11:30 in the morning.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

He had a black line running down his face.

So, that was how it was.

His mouth twitched violently; for a moment, he did not know what to say.

But, in the end.

He still thanked Tie Huo, then stood before Jin's doorstep.

Instead of continuing to knock, he quietly began cultivating.

Seeing this, Tie Huo let out a long sigh.

He even felt that Itachi, this genius, would likely be ruined in Jin's hands.

But there was nothing he could do.

Just as he had said, he was merely an ordinary Jonin within the clan, with no right to interfere in such matters.

Sigh!

After a helpless sigh, he turned and left directly.

Time passed slowly.

By eleven thirty at noon, Uchiha Jin, having finished washing up, yawned and opened the door, preparing to head to his parents' home.

After all, they had agreed yesterday to celebrate for him.

However, upon opening the door and seeing Itachi practicing at the entrance, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Yes.

He had long forgotten about this disciple.

Coughing awkwardly, Uchiha Jin could only speak up.

"Um, Itachi!"

"I'm really sorry; I overslept a bit."

"What time did Itachi arrive?"

Itachi's expression remained calm.

He had already gained a basic understanding of this unreliable teacher.

· ·········· Requesting flowers ······ ······

"It's fine, Teacher," Itachi said softly. "I arrived at six thirty. I can practice here as well."

Hiss!

Hearing this, Jin sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

Truly worthy of being Itachi!

Regarding this disciple of his, he was truly convinced.

No wonder he would become a powerhouse in the future, stirring up such great turmoil in the ninja world.

He is a genius by nature, yet so disciplined.

It would be unjust if he weren't strong!

Glancing at the dark circles under Itachi's eyes, Jin knew without asking that the fellow certainly hadn't slept well last night.

He wanted to offer some advice.

However, considering Uchiha Itachi's temperament, he ultimately chose to give up.

Shaking his head helplessly, he could not help but speak.

"Being too diligent is not necessarily a good thing."

"Since Itachi didn't rest well last night, there is no need for training today."

... .... 0

"The human body has its limits."

"When cultivating, the foundation is most important. Training like this will break your body."

"Do not mention how others do things. Since Itachi chose me as your teacher, Itachi must listen to me regarding your cultivation."

"Now, come with me to eat."

"Then go straight back to sleep. Wake up around five in the afternoon to move about a bit, and resume sleeping no later than eleven at night."

"Come find me for training early tomorrow morning."

Uchiha Jin's expression was serious.

Because of chakra, the ninja world pays no attention to foundations.

But he, having lived two lives, knew very well the importance of a foundation.

Although he had found various things about the original Itachi disagreeable.

Upon truly interacting with him, he found this child so sensible it was heartbreaking.

He is the son of the Uchiha clan head, the top heir of the most prestigious family in the entire ninja world.

If this were his previous life, he would have been a top-tier rich second generation.

Under such circumstances, he not only didn't become arrogant but worked so hard and was so sensible that one could find no flaw in him whatsoever.

Therefore.

Since he had already accepted him as a disciple, he naturally would not treat the matter perfunctorily.

Uchiha Itachi: "..."

He wanted to speak up in protest, but seeing Jin's serious expression, he ultimately chose to remain silent.

Even without understanding, he chose to accept.

He could see that Jin was doing this for his own good!

Regarding this teacher of his, through their exchange last night, he was truly impressed.

Since the teacher said so, he would listen.

"This... very well."

"I will listen to the teacher and go back to sleep immediately."
