Izumi lay on the sofa, eating grapes and saying, "Mom, you haven't interacted with him much, so you don't understand him. It's not strange for someone like him to do anything for the sake of so-called 'justice' that others tell him about."
"Oh, is that so?" Uchiha Hazuki also knew that there were all kinds of people in this world.
She said, "But they're all just children; they'll grow up eventually."
Izumi sneered, "I'm just afraid it'll be too late by then."
Uchiha Hazuki didn't understand why Izumi disliked Itachi so much, but she thought about how Itachi had already become a Ninja, and her own daughter would soon.
She suddenly remembered something, walked directly into the room, and then took a box out of the room, placing it in front of Izumi.
Izumi asked, "What is this?"
Uchiha Hazuki sighed and said, "These are your father's Ninja tools and scrolls from when he was alive. I originally planned to give them to you after you graduated, but seeing your talent is so good, I'll give them to you now."
Izumi solemnly accepted the box and then said, "Father's keepsakes? Thank you, Mom. I will definitely become a powerful Ninja and survive."
Her mother stroked her head and said, "Don't say such things. Go to bed early and don't study too late."
"Mm." Izumi nodded and carried the box back to her room.
Izumi opened the large box and found that it was full of scrolls.
Izumi opened one scroll and found it contained weapons.
"Wire, Kunai, Shuriken, Katana."
Izumi drew the Katana from its sheath and found it was well-preserved.
Izumi opened the other scrolls.
"Exploding Tag, is this a Sealing Tag?"
Izumi also found several scrolls containing Ninjutsu.
"A-rank Water Release Ninjutsu: Water Severing Wave."
It spews an ultra-long-range, ultra-high-pressure linear water pillar from the mouth, transforming into a sharp water blade that continuously severs the roots of the Divine Tree. Its power is like Wind Release, capable of effectively severing targets.
"B-rank Water Release Ninjutsu: Water Dragon Bullet Technique."
A Ninjutsu that uses a water dragon to attack enemies.
"S-rank Water Release Ninjutsu: Hard Vortex Water Blade."
It creates a water vortex in the hand, transforms it into a water spear, and throws it forcefully. Upon contact with the enemy, it forms a massive water tornado.
"C-rank Earth Release Ninjutsu: Earth-Style: Earth Flow Divide."
It allows one to move covertly like a fish in the earth and observe movements on the surface.
I already know this technique.
"B-rank Earth Release Ninjutsu: Earth-Style Wall."
A defensive Earth Release Ninjutsu that creates a wall to block attacks.
"A-rank Earth Release Ninjutsu: Swamp of the Underworld."
It creates a huge swamp, trapping the opponent so they cannot escape until they are submerged.
"C-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu: Great Breakthrough."
It spews strong winds from the mouth to restrain the opponent, with the scale changing according to the caster's ability.
"B-rank Wind Release Ninjutsu: Vacuum Wave."
It spews a sharp breath similar to a Scythe Weasel from the mouth, severing the target's flesh and the Chakra protecting their body simultaneously.
"C-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu: Lightning Release: Ground Flash."
It only emits a short-range lightning beam close to the ground forward. Its power is stronger when used with Water Release, it is the lowest-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
"C-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Technique."
Most Uchiha generally know this.
"B-rank Fire Release Ninjutsu: Great Dragon Fire Technique."
A technique that gathers a large amount of Chakra within the body and highly compresses it to form a fire dragon. The fire dragon can be freely controlled to attack enemies. Compared to attack range, this technique focuses more on power and accuracy.
...
"Perception Ninjutsu, Multiple Shadow Clone, Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique... quite a few Ninjutsu, more than ten of them, and some high-level ones. If they were truly commoner Ninja, they wouldn't have so many Ninjutsu, right? As expected, the foundation of clan Ninja is truly strong. Even a branched-off lineage has so many Ninjutsu; perhaps the compensation when they merged into commoners is also here."
Izumi looked at a scroll nearby. It stated that it was the clan property obtained when they branched off from the Senju Clan, which included some Ninjutsu and money.
Izumi put down the scroll and found another scroll beneath it. She curiously opened this scroll and discovered that it contained Sealing Technique and Barrier Technique scrolls.
Izumi grew interested; she needed to study these Ninjutsu carefully.
She opened the scroll, and it only recorded some simple Sealing Techniques and the runes used for them.
Izumi nodded. With these, she could now try to deduce other jutsu formulas.
As for barriers, they belonged to the same category as Sealing Techniques, being quite similar. The scroll recorded common techniques like the Five-Seal Barrier, Evil Sealing Method, and Perception Barrier.
Izumi began practicing with Perception Ninjutsu.
Perception Ninjutsu is a Ninjutsu that combines Chakra and spiritual power, allowing one to perceive the Chakra of distant enemies.
After absorbing spiritual energy and strengthening herself, she could perceive the surrounding Chakra, but this was an instinctive perception. After learning some specific Perception Ninjutsu, her perception became much more detailed.
Izumi happily practiced these Ninjutsu; learning was quite interesting.
During these few days of vacation, Izumi began practicing these Ninjutsu in the forest.
After setting up seals around to prevent detection, she began to practice.
The most difficult S-rank Ninjutsu, "Water Release! Hard Vortex Water Blade!"
A spinning water spear appeared on Izumi's arm. Just as Izumi was about to launch the water spear, it suddenly dispersed, and the shockwave sent Izumi flying.
With a "bang!" Izumi crashed hard against a tree trunk, then fell down and lay motionless on the ground.
After a long time, she finally made a sound.
"Ow~ it hurts so much, boo hoo." Her whole body was injured, especially the side where she cast the Ninjutsu; there was blood everywhere.
Fortunately, the injuries weren't severe, but it hurt so much that Izumi almost cried.
Although she could precisely control Chakra, the recorded Ninjutsu wasn't as simple as someone else actually performing it. She accidentally messed up the Chakra ratio.
Izumi groaned, clutching her wounds. Fortunately, her Sage Body's recovery ability was strong, and her injuries healed very quickly.
"As expected of an S-rank Ninjutsu, it's much harder and more dangerous than other Ninjutsu. I need to be careful when practicing S-rank Ninjutsu, and strictly control the amount of Chakra used. I used a little too much just now, and it exploded prematurely."
"Ah! It hurts so much!" Izumi clutched her wound, her expression contorted as she said, "Practicing S-rank Ninjutsu is actually this dangerous. It was my carelessness."
Fortunately, Izumi's absorption of spiritual energy, which is natural energy, Sage Mode Chakra, combined with the power of Divine Ink, made her control over Chakra more sensitive than others. Izumi carefully practiced for half an hour before fully mastering this S-rank Ninjutsu.
The power of this technique can be large or small; the more Chakra used, the greater the power of the technique. Izumi had always practiced with relatively little Chakra, because if she used too much, it would cause too much commotion and attract others.
Izumi, who was practicing, suddenly thought of something: "Huh? Water, rotation, Chakra, huh? Wasn't there some Ninjutsu like that?"
"That's right! Rasengan!" Izumi remembered, Naruto's signature move. Could she also learn Chidori and Lightning Blade?
"How could I forget them! First, the Rasengan. The principle of this technique is relatively simple, but it usually takes ordinary Ninja one or two years to complete it."
"As for me, I've already learned this Hard Vortex Water Blade. I wonder how long it will take to learn this move, hehe, let's try it."
"Rasengan!"
"Bang!"
"Ow!" Izumi was sent flying, but the power was much smaller this time.
"It's a bit difficult, but it's not a problem. I'll solve it this afternoon."
"Ha!"
