Uchiha Itachi had a look of utter despair on his face because his chocolate was all gone. He suddenly felt his mouth was overly sweet, even to the point of tasting salty. So, he silently walked to the kitchen and poured himself a bowl of water to drink.
Goodness, it was too sweet. So sweet it turned salty. Uchiha Itachi smiled bitterly. Over in the living room, the kissing had finally stopped after a full five minutes.
Ryun looked very pleased, while Tsunade's face was flushed red with embarrassment. Both their hearts were pounding, and they still wanted more. It was a pity. Tsunade was currently pregnant, so they could not go further.
Holding Tsunade, Ryun suddenly realized Uchiha Itachi was missing. He called out, "Itachi, where are you."
Tsunade was also startled. "Little Itachi, where did you go."
"Grandmaster, Grandmistress, I am coming." Uchiha Itachi quickly stopped drinking water and came to the main hall. His big eyes were wide open as he looked at Tsunade and Ryun.
Huh? Finished chewing? Uchiha Itachi thought to himself, his eyes shifting. That scene was too stimulating. Even eating candy couldn't suppress it for me, a child. Cloyingly sweet.
"What were you doing?" Grandmaster Ryun frowned. Seeing the water stain at the corner of Uchiha Itachi's mouth, a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"I, I ate too much candy, it was a bit sweet, so I went to drink water." Uchiha Itachi lowered his head, not daring to look at Ryun and Tsunade.
This 'candy' had a double meaning, referring both to the chocolate and to the 'dog food'. However, Uchiha Itachi didn't know the meaning of 'dog food' yet, he could only say it was too sweet.
Ryun nodded. "You need to moderate your candy eating, otherwise you might get cavities." Ryun said with a smile.
Tsunade also nodded. "Little Itachi, we are good children, we must be obedient. It's okay to eat candy, but not too much, otherwise your teeth will rot."
"I know..." Uchiha Itachi said, pouting. Then he looked at Ryun. "Grandmaster, it's been so long, shouldn't you start teaching me how to train now."
Uchiha Itachi's eyes shone. He had heard from his father and Shisui that Ryun was the strongest in the Uchiha clan, and the most powerful existence among the Hokage of Konoha.
He didn't know how many people wanted to become Ryun's students, but were rejected. Now that he himself could learn from Ryun, it was truly a great fortune.
Ryun was startled. Training? Then the corners of his mouth turned up, and his expression gradually changed.
Uchiha Itachi was dumbfounded. Why did he feel like something incredible was about to happen?
Tsunade looked at Uchiha Itachi with a complex expression, sighing inwardly.
In the mental space, Six-Tails Saiken also clicked its tongue. "Quite courageous. After all, she had seen Ryun's training methods in the past. Of course, that was when Tsunade visited the previous group of six.
He still remembered that at that time, none of the six were unharmed. Even the most talented, Namikaze Minato, was beaten red all over, his face swollen like a pig's head.
That level of intensity made even Tailed Beasts shake their heads. At the same time, Six-Tails Saiken also held genuine respect for Ryun, because he didn't rest and trained alongside the students. After training, Ryun was like nothing happened, not panting or out of breath.
"You want to become stronger, right. Young man." A gleam of light appeared in Ryun's eyes as he looked at Uchiha Itachi.
This gaze made Uchiha Itachi tremble all over, as if he had seen some terrifying monster. His mouth opened slightly. "R, right. I suddenly feel, not so right."
However, before Uchiha Itachi could finish, Ryun grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out.
"Wife, you rest first. I'll take this little guy to warm up." As Ryun left, he didn't forget to inform his wife. What a good man.
Tsunade sighed, then got up and walked towards her bedroom. Pregnant women just get tired easily during the day.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi was carried by Ryun heading outside. Ryun's strength and speed were both fast, and he was holding the collar.
So Uchiha Itachi experienced a feeling like flying. Uchiha Itachi showed no reaction on the surface, but his mind was in an uproar.
"Whoa, whoa. Too fast. Damn it, slow down, slow down." Uchiha Itachi's face was a bit pale.
Not long after, Ryun brought Uchiha Itachi to the Uchiha Clan's 7th Training Ground.
As soon as he landed, Uchiha Itachi felt the world spinning, his head buzzing. For a moment, he couldn't tell east from west.
Noticing this, Ryun injected a strand of Sage Chakra into Uchiha Itachi's body. Uchiha Itachi immediately felt refreshed and full of energy.
"Grand, Grandmaster, what was that Chakra you injected into my body just now. In just this moment, I've completely recovered. And I can feel my physical strength seems to have increased a bit." Uchiha Itachi was a genius, his perception far exceeded ordinary people.
Ryun nodded. "That was a strand of Sage Chakra, also called Natural Chakra. It's beneficial to the human body, can cleanse the meridians and marrow. But because you are still young, you can't absorb too much, so I only gave you a strand."
Uchiha Itachi nodded. He understood the principle of going too far. Although he wanted more Sage Chakra, after Ryun's explanation, he chose not to ask for more.
"Oh. Someone arrived earlier than us." Ryun said with a light laugh. He then saw a boy on the 7th Training Ground, slightly taller than Itachi, wearing Uchiha clan attire, continuously swinging a sword, performing Uchiha Style Sword Techniques.
Ryun crossed his arms and nodded. Not bad. This child's footwork was steady, his strength moderate, and his use of Uchiha Style Sword Techniques was smooth and flowing, constantly moving and dodging between the training dummies, slashing and cutting.
"Shisui." Uchiha Itachi on the side was overjoyed. He saw a familiar person. After saying that, he wanted to run towards Uchiha Shisui.
Ryun quickly grabbed Uchiha Itachi's collar. "He is fully immersed in training right now. What are you going to do now. Watch carefully. I'll take you over when he finishes."
Uchiha Itachi suddenly stopped. He looked at Uchiha Shisui, then at his Grandmaster, and calmed down. "I understand, Grandmaster. I shouldn't disturb Shisui's training."
Ryun patted Uchiha Itachi's little head and sighed. "Take a good look at how Uchiha Shisui uses the strength in his hands and feet. It's very standard. This is a rare chance to learn secretly." Ryun said with a smile.
Uchiha Itachi nodded, then watched Uchiha Shisui's movements, committing each one to memory for his own future use.
Ryun, with his arms crossed, watched Uchiha Shisui with great interest. He truly lived up to his role as a plot catalyst in the original Naruto world.
Another thirty minutes passed. Uchiha Shisui's movements stopped. He wiped the blade dry, sheathed it, and then looked towards Ryun.
Immediately after, a black shadow flashed. Uchiha Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique, charging towards the direction of Ryun and Uchiha Itachi.
Ryun activated his Three Tomoe Sharingan, taking in Uchiha Shisui's movement trajectory completely. The corner of his mouth turned up. He wanted to see what this little guy was planning to do.
Uchiha Shisui threw a punch towards Ryun. Ryun raised his right hand and caught Uchiha Shisui's fist.
Uchiha Shisui's expression didn't change. He wasn't surprised. Then he continued to use the Body Flicker Technique, creating distance, constantly dodging, looking for an opportunity to attack.
"Well, so this is the fighting style of Shunshin no Shisui. Quite good. But against me, it's still far from enough." Ryun smiled.
Back when he didn't have the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had used the Body Flicker Technique plenty of times. He was very familiar with this move.
Hearing Ryun's praise, Uchiha Shisui showed no joy, instead his expression became more serious. He found the right moment again and threw another punch.
Ryun, accurately judging Uchiha Shisui's direction, punched Uchiha Shisui's fist. Bang.
Uchiha Shisui could no longer control his posture. The impact from this punch sent him flying. Then he drew his ninja sword, flipped in the air, and stabbed the sword into the ground, sliding back seven or eight steps before stopping.
"As expected of the Hokage-sama. I have lost." Uchiha Shisui sighed, sheathing his sword again. This time, he slowly walked to Ryun, knelt on one knee. "Grandson of Uchiha Kagami, Uchiha Shisui, pays his respects to the Hokage-sama."
"Please forgive my offense, Hokage-sama. Just now, upon seeing you, I felt an itch to test my skills and wanted to spar with you. I didn't expect... I still overestimated myself." Uchiha Shisui sighed.
"You are very good. Among your peers, your strength should be in the top two." Ryun said with a smile.
"Huh. Top two. Who else is in this top two." Uchiha Shisui suddenly asked.
"Uchiha Obito." Ryun said calmly.
"Uchiha Obito." Uchiha Shisui thought for a moment, then nodded. "I understand, Hokage-sama. There is always someone better. I will continue to work hard."
"Mm." Ryun smiled, then said, "Today I plan to train Itachi. Do you want to join."
Uchiha Shisui looked at Uchiha Itachi, his heart skipping a beat. Then he looked at Ryun, steeled his heart. "Hokage-sama, I am willing. Please, Hokage-sama, assign the training tasks."
Ryun smiled. "Good. Itachi, you stand opposite too." Ryun looked at Uchiha Itachi beside him.
Uchiha Itachi looked at Shisui and suddenly said, "Shisui, are you sure." He even made eye signals at him, urging him to leave quickly before it was too late.
"Of course. What. Does Itachi not want to train together with me." Uchiha Shisui was somewhat confused. Uchiha Itachi's face turned pale, and he shook his head vigorously. "No, no."
Then Uchiha Itachi walked to Uchiha Shisui's side, looking at Ryun with a pleading expression. Ryun snorted coldly. It seemed this little brat had gotten detailed information about the training content from somewhere.
"Well, today's first lesson is for the two of you to cooperate. You can use any means, including weapons, ninjutsu. As long as you can force me to retreat, or knock me out of this circle, you succeed." After saying this, Ryun used his foot to draw a circle on the ground and stood inside it.
Ryun nodded. Good. The size was just right.
