Chapter 84

It was just that.

Though he said so with his mouth, he had no intention of doing so.

At most.

Just practice secretly at home so the teacher doesn't find out.

Uchiha Jin was, of course, not stupid.

Itachi was still just a child; many things showed on his face.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke again.

"Itachi brat, Itachi're not honest," Uchiha Jin said softly. "Don't think I'm lying to Itachi."

"Take myself as an example. Itachi should know my usual behavior."

"In the Uchiha clan, I was basically the laziest. When I studied at the Ninja Academy, I couldn't even get into the Elite Class."

"Even in the regular class, I was the dead last."

"But what about now?"

"Most of my classmates are now Genin; those who become Chunin are considered elite."

"Yet I have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and directly become a clan elder and the head of the Police Force."

"Even the strongest of my graduating class back then, Hatake Kakashi, doesn't even have the qualification to stand before me."

"Even Uchiha Shisui, the genius of our clan who is a year senior to me, is absolutely no match for me!"

"So, do Itachi understand?"

"Child prodigies are the least valuable; what matters most is accumulating strength before striking."

"Before the age of ten is the time to lay the foundation."

"Within this stage, the stronger your foundation, the greater the power Itachi will unleash after adulthood, far beyond your imagination."

"So, don't let the fear of choking stop Itachi from eating."

"What does it matter if Itachi're called trash a few times in your youth? Once Itachi truly unleash your power after adulthood, I guarantee Itachi will amaze everyone!"

Uchiha Jin's face was serious.

Although his success actually relied on a cheat, what he said was absolutely correct.

Itachi was already a genius; as long as he wasn't overburdened in his youth, his future would surely be even more brilliant.

So.

As his teacher, he would never allow Itachi to act recklessly.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Itachi, who had previously cared little, now truly began to listen.

Because Jin's words actually seemed to make sense.

Think of his teacher: he was once called trash within the clan.

All clan members believed he was the Uchiha's shame.

At school.

Even in the regular class, this teacher of his was absolutely the dead last.

But what then?

He barely graduated in the fifth grade, yet he erupted directly on the battlefield.

He ruthlessly awakened the Uchiha's ultimate power and slaughtered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist with his Mangekyo Sharingan.

"Very well, I understand," Uchiha Itachi said solemnly. "I promise I will definitely listen to my teacher."

"Very well, come in."

Seeing that Itachi had indeed listened, Uchiha Jin offered a faint smile.

Immediately after.

Once the two reached the small courtyard, he continued, "Itachi, have Itachi eaten?"

"Yes, Master," Itachi nodded slowly. "I can begin training immediately."

Uchiha Jin rolled his eyes.

However.

This time, he said no more; as long as he didn't overwork or exhaust his body, the rest didn't matter.

Jin's courtyard was indeed small.

But at this stage, he did not want Itachi to train in ninjutsu, only basic taijutsu exercises.

So there was no need to go to a dedicated training ground.

First, assume the horse stance.

It took nearly fifteen minutes for Itachi's horse stance to become quite stable.

This made him sigh that a ninja's physical constitution was indeed far stronger than that of an ordinary person.

In his past life, an ordinary person needed a week to barely manage it, yet Itachi had done it in just over ten minutes.

Keep in mind.

The Uchiha were strong in the Sharingan; their taijutsu was quite average!

If it were the Might Guy father and son, they might not even need two minutes.

Sigh!

After helplessly sighing, Uchiha Jin spoke slowly.

"I know Itachi don't understand."

"To let Itachi train properly, while Itachi hold the horse stance, I will explain it to Itachi."

"In my view, the body is the foundation of everything."

"Only by making the flesh stronger can Itachi extract more chakra and have more options when facing an enemy."

"Holding the horse stance won't make Itachi strong quickly, but if Itachi persist, it will make your strength more stable without harming your foundation at all."

"So starting today, Itachi must hold the horse stance for at least two hours every day."

Uchiha Itachi nodded slowly.

Although he could not fully understand, he knew Jin would not harm him.

Slowly.

Though it was easy at first, as time passed, he felt his legs as if filled with lead, slowly becoming sore, weak, and painful.

Sweat began to slowly seep onto his forehead.

But his expression did not change.

He persisted.

After about five minutes, having endured the most uncomfortable phase, he suddenly felt a surge of energy within his body; though still holding the horse stance, he felt completely refreshed.

"Very well, Itachi should have felt it."

"This is the secret of the horse stance. With your persistence, I believe Itachi will come to like it."

"While we have time, I will teach Itachi something else."

"First, let's talk about the Sharingan."

"After my long study, I believe the power of the Sharingan is essentially a form of Yin Release energy."

"And Hashirama Senju's Wood Release, in my view, is Yang Release energy."

"There is no difference from the basic Wind, Earth, Lightning, Water, and Fire Releases."

"The Uchiha have no method to cultivate Yin Release, so after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, the Uchiha clan concluded that eye power is fixed; once exhausted, it leads to blindness."

"However, I have attempted to create a visualization technique, but to be honest, I am not yet sure how effective it will be."

"Now, I will teach it to Itachi."

"There is also a set of taijutsu, consisting of six forms."

"They are: Shave, Iron Block, Paper Art, Moon Walk, Storm Kick, and Finger Gun!"

"..."

Uchiha Jin spoke with a calm tone.

After finishing.
