Chapter 7: Sasuke's Change, Shadow Clone Starts!
While most of the people were still dazed and asleep, the Sasuke family had already gotten up early and sat around the table enjoying a hearty breakfast.
"Hmm...... Delicious! Mom! One more bowl! ”
Sasuke, whose face was bulging because his mouth was stuffed with food, tried to chew and swallow, but instead of putting down the chopsticks in his hand, he unexpectedly raised them again and handed them to his mother, saying vaguely.
"Huh? Do you want more? You've already eaten the second bowl......"
While Mikoto Uchiha took the job from Sa's assistant, her eyes moved up and down and looked at her youngest son in surprise.
"Your appetite seems to be good lately, Sasuke."
You must know that in her impression, because of her father's insistence on getting up early, Sasuke is slow and reluctant every time he eats breakfast...... In recent days, not only has he had a big appetite and eaten a lot, but he has also surprisingly changed his habit of sleeping lazy. Except for the eldest son, Uchiha Itachi, Sasuke is now the second earliest in the family, and even his father Uchiha Fugaku was woken up by him this morning!
"Hehe, because the food cooked by my mother is so delicious, I always feel that I can't eat enough."
Looking at his mother's surprised and curious eyes, Xiao Tuanfan's face couldn't help but show a little flush, and after swallowing the last bit of food in his mouth, he squinted and replied with a smile.
"Poof...... You little clever ghost, but you have learned to pat your mother's ass? Was Itachi taught you? ”
Hearing this, Mikoto was slightly stunned, then sneered, and after refilling the rice bowl with hot rice in her hand, she gently scraped the tip of Sasuke's nose.
"But now is the time for you to grow your body, you should eat more...... Here, the third bowl, I only cooked so much today, next time my mother will cook more meals for you to eat. ”
"No, I'm just telling the truth...... Uh-huh! Thank you Mom! I'm moving! ”
When Sasuke buried his head in the sweet food again, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been silent beside him, looked through the newspaper in his hand while quietly looking at the energetic young son beside him from the corner of his eye.
"Eat with a look, eat slowly Sasuke, and no one will rob you, don't eat like a starving ghost reincarnated."
"Husband! What are you talking about? If your child wants to eat it, let him eat it. ”
As soon as Fugaku's words came out, Mikoto, who was a loving mother, was immediately unhappy, and while reaching out to cover and caress Sasuke's little head that was trembling at a loss, she turned her head and complained about her husband.
"Look! It's rare that Sasuke has such a good appetite recently, and he is so scared by you that he doesn't dare to eat it! ”
“…… Hmph, you, just spoil him, loving mother and ...... child"
Looking at Sasuke, who stopped the dishes and chopsticks because of his words, as if he was at a loss for fear of doing something wrong and making him angry, Fugaku couldn't help but snort lightly and looked back at the newspaper in his hand, but a smile flashed in his eyes.
Although he hasn't shown it, I have to say that in addition to Sasuke's disgraced face and dirty face every time he goes out and comes home without permission, the recent performance and changes of his youngest son really make Fugaku very satisfied, which can be said to be impressive.
Neither did he make excuses to be lazy anymore when he was tired and tired, nor did he pester his brother to be coquettish in a childish manner, but he also showed the full version of the Fire Escape Hao Fireball Technique in front of him yesterday far beyond Fu Yue's expectations!
Although this is only an entry-level C-level ninjutsu, you must know that just a few days ago, Sasuke had a lot of trouble even creating a small flame!
Such significant progress can't help but remind Fugaku of his eldest son, Uchiha Itachi. I thought that the youngest son who was in the shadow of his brother's genius would be resigned to mediocrity, but he didn't want Sasuke to be a blockbuster and unexpectedly gave him such a big surprise!
Both children are geniuses with amazing potential, which makes Fugaku's heart full of joy and pride, but he does not restrain and reprimand Sasuke for going out without permission every day...... Because he has a kind of intuition, Sasuke's sudden change should be inseparable from his daily unauthorized outing.
"Dad? Father! ”
"Huh? Oh oh, what's wrong Sasuke? ”
Fugaku, who was immersed in the pride of his child, slowly came back to his senses under Sasuke's cautious questioning, and when he subconsciously turned his head to look at Sasuke, even he didn't notice that his always moody face was quietly wearing a doting smile.
"That...... Daddy, didn't you promise me before? As long as I have practiced the Heroic Fireball Technique, I can choose a ninjutsu I like to practice. ”
Looking at the rare smile on his father's face, Sasuke felt very satisfied, and at the same time, his gratitude and goodwill for Naruto, who had been seriously guiding him in his cultivation in recent days, also deepened, and after a pause, he tentatively asked his father according to the previous agreement with Naruto.
"Oh, you say this...... Of course, it's no problem Sasuke, but you're still young, and Dad can only allow you to choose B-level ninjutsu for cultivation at most......"
For Sasuke, who has become more and more competitive these days, Fugaku's attitude towards him has unconsciously softened a lot. After pondering for a while, he chose a ninjutsu that he thought would best suit Sasuke's current situation and continued.
"Haven't you always been interested in shuriken? In this way, in addition to teaching you a new shuriken technique, Dad will also teach you a set of ninjutsu that can be combined with shuriken techniques, the technique of fire escape and dragon fire. ”
Although the technique of fire escape and dragon fire is only C-level, it can cooperate with the unique shuriken technique of the Uchiha clan, and even if the shuriken technique misses, it can also be used as a backhand to surprise the enemy and inflict heavy damage, in Fugaku's opinion, this is undoubtedly the best reward for Sasuke, who has been interested in shuriken since childhood.
"Hmm...... Dad ......" Looking at his father in front of him, who was seriously thinking about himself, Sasuke's heart warmed even more, but he tried to hold back the curiosity in his heart. Unexpectedly, Fu Yue slowly shook his head, "Can I choose my own?" ”
The youngest son's refusal without hesitation made the confident Fu Yue almost petrified, and while secretly trying to sit firmly so as not to stumble, he tried to continue to recommend with a little unwillingness.
"Huh......? Why? Sasuke, this is a ninjutsu that works with your favorite shuriken, huh? And it's going to be even more handsome and cool than a fireball?! ”
"Huh? Sounds great...... But I've already decided on the ninjutsu I want, so I'll learn the dragon fire technique next time. ”
"Good...... Well......"
Looking at the little son in front of him, who was not moved at all, Fu Yue was once again sure that he had grown up and become independent far beyond his expectations, but there was a sense of sadness in his heart that the child's wings had grown up. Mixed with joy and sorrow, he asked weakly, paused and repeated the bottom line without giving up.
"But you have to think carefully, Dad will only teach you B-level ninjutsu at most, and Dad above B-level will not teach you now."
"Hmmm! Don't worry, Dad, I've got it all figured out! ”
Seeing that his father agreed, Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he grinned and said the name of the ninjutsu that he had already decided in his heart.
"Dad, what I want to learn from you is ......"
"B-rank ninjutsu, shadow clone technique!"
