The Uchiha Clan is getting worse with every generation, letting a little brat from the Shiranui Clan wander around the Clan Compound? That detestable Bai Lu, this old man remembers you!
The next moment, the certain venerable person being carried on Guy's back was swamped by countless enthusiastic clan members.
White Zetsu, who was observing from the shadows, was completely stunned.
This f*cking works?!
Walking out of the Uchiha Clan Compound.
"Was there some deeper meaning to what you just did? I completely fail to understand."
Ichie was utterly baffled. She had thought she had "seen through" part of Bai Lu's intent, but now she was completely confused as she gazed at Bai Lu's profile.
Mr. Bai Lu, what kind of person are you? A great villain disguised as a loyal subject, or genuinely consistent? Or perhaps a utilitarian who adapts to the circumstances... "Enough talk, Ichie. While Guy isn't around, there's something you need to give me."
"W-what? So you deliberately sent Guy away?"
"Yes, that guy being nearby would ruin things. Stop talking nonsense and give it to me quickly!"
"H-here? Isn't this inappropriate? Should we go back to my house first..."
"No, here is perfect. I need to personally test that thing, so..."
"Mhm..."
Ichie's heart was pounding. Amidst her panic, she couldn't help but feel a little anticipation.
Could it be, could it be that Mr. Bai Lu's deeper layer of intent was about to be revealed?
"So, quickly teach me the Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"???"
"You know I have no choice. This is a very practical B-rank Ninjutsu, and the Ninja Academy won't teach it."
Ichie's expression instantly shifted from anticipation and excitement to anger and... disappointment.
"Mr. Bai Lu, here are the hand seals and Chakra flow pathway for the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and also..."
"What?"
"I suddenly feel that Mr. Bai Lu is truly hateful... Don't forget the time mandated by Jonin Shibi."
Ichie tossed her long hair and dashed away.
Bai Lu watched Ichie's retreating figure, pondered for a moment, and immediately began working on the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
This was the physical Clone technique developed and passed down by the Second Hokage. Although it's typically fragile, exploding upon impact and pointlessly wasting large amounts of Chakra.
Nevertheless, Bai Lu still needed this item.
"Since I have a piece of White Zetsu's Life Qi tissue, I can try..."
Bai Lu thought this over, seizing the time... Time quickly reached 5:30 PM, leaving only half an hour until the 6:00 PM deadline set by Aburame Shibiki.
"Oh! Time's up! My mission is complete! Grandmother, please rest well!"
Guy looked excited.
The elderly woman looked haggard and said tremulously, "Finally... Good child, go practice now. You've worked so hard."
Finally, that damn, excessively persistent bastard is leaving. If she could just find a way to avoid these Uchiha brats who keep showing up, then use words to motivate Obito in the dead of night, and then breathe her last right there... surely, Obito would awaken his Sharingan.
But at that moment, a voice came that made her want to strangle the owner.
"Obito's Grandmother, I'm here for the shift change!"
Bai Lu walked in, looking solemn: "I managed to barely learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu in the better part of a day. From now on, I will specifically send out Clones to look after you 24/7!"
"...Don't you need time to practice?"
"It doesn't matter. I have quite a bit of Chakra, and besides, looking after a comrade is the greatest form of spiritual training! You don't need to worry too much. I'm also trying to find some Medical Ninjutsu to learn, ready to resuscitate you at any moment."
"..."
Kuso... What a vicious brat. If the entire Hidden Leaf Village were full of people like this, what would become of the world?!
