"Did he really say that?"
Fugaku's face remained calm, concealing any sign of anger. However, facing such a situation, as the clan leader, he undoubtedly wouldn't be in a good mood.
The clan members wanted a clean break from him as their leader. It was already polite of them not to openly defy him; they were just short of uttering the words of betrayal.
Speaking of what the Uchiha clan had given to Yōichi, it seemed like they hadn't given him much at all.
Yōichi's parents were also ninjas; his mother was even a Chunin. They had some savings, although his parents had an accident when he was eight years old, before of that Yōichi's ninja basics had already been well taught.
The only things the clan had given him, besides the name Uchiha, were the basics of swordsmanship from Kanrin and the Sharingan genjutsu; they had even planned to use the clan's money to forge a ninja sword for Yōichi, but now he had given away even the money, and he was still quite well off.
Kanrin sighed. "Yes, the way Yōichi is, he probably can't understand your goodwill, clan leader. He's been deeply influenced by others."
As for these "others," Kanrin suspected they were the radicals within the clan.
After all, Yōichi was somewhat famous; he had narrowly escaped death several times in the past six months, and the last time, he even killed a Jonin of Iwa, making him quite a renowned genius.
"Then let's not bother with him. Losing the protection of a clan, someone with his temperament won't last long. Let's go to the Shrine, Kanrin-senpai."
Fugaku suppressed his anger and then proceeded along with Kanrin.
He was the clan leader; he had more important matters to attend to.
-The next day-
Someone from the ninja tool store came to inform Yōichi that the weights he had requested were ready.
Efficiency was high, perhaps because he had paid a large sum, and transportation in safe areas of the ninja world was efficient.
When Yōichi arrived at the ninja tool store, the owner had already brought out the weighted ninja suit he had requested.
"Yōichi-san, this is made according to your specifications. Please check if it meets your satisfaction."
After finishing speaking, the owner of the ninja tool store explained how to use the weighted ninja suit: "Yōichi-san, this weighted ninja suit can change its weight. Even without adding weight plates, the suit itself weighs forty kilograms, and with all the weight plates added, it weighs four hundred kilograms."
In addition to the ninja suit, there were also wrist guards and leg bindings, each weighing approximately one hundred and fifty kilograms. Altogether, it totaled one thousand kilograms.
Half a ton of weight was quite a burden even for taijutsu ninjas. Fortunately, this weight could be gradually increased so he can start lower. Initially, Yōichi only needed to wear a hundred kilograms of weight.
"Thank you very much, boss. I'll come to you if I need ninja tools in the future."
"You're welcome anytime, Yōichi-san!"
The owner of the ninja tool store said with a smile. If it weren't for the danger, he would have wanted to advertise; all the ninja from the Uchiha clan could come to him to buy ninja tools.
After putting on the weighted ninja suit, Yōichi left the ninja tool store.
Subsequently, Yōichi prepared to return to the place where he usually trained. Today, Kakashi was still going to accompany him for training. He was quite looking forward to the learn his father's swordsmanship.
Becoming so renowned in the ninja world was definitely not just talk.
"Ah, it's you! The little Uchiha brat!"
As Yōichi was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly behind him. He subconsciously turned around upon hearing "Uchiha," and what he saw was a mass of pure white.
Golden hair tied into twin tails, beautiful, and with big airbags!
Just by seeing these few main characteristics, Yōichi knew who was calling him. He just didn't know why Tsunade was calling him. So he pretended to be confused and asked, "Lady Tsunade, why are you calling me?"
"What do you mean?"
Tsunade felt somewhat tickled. She had clearly instructed the ANBU to inform her as soon as this Uchiha brat returned, but it seemed like they were as useless as dead people.
As for the reason for finding Yōichi, Tsunade couldn't say it outright. It was absurd to say that she had almost been killed by Yōichi, who had suddenly become a wild boar.
And she had been investigating this matter recently, but there was no progress, making Tsunade even more angry.
However, Tsunade's intuition made her suspect that this matter might have something to do with Yōichi, because last time she heard Yōichi mention something about powers, but according to the ANBU's investigation, Yōichi hadn't shown any "powers."
"Little brat, do you have anything to say to me?"
"Tsunade these are truly big!"
After Yōichi finished speaking, he regretted it immediately. He should have asked the boss of the ninja tool store to make another mask that could control his speech. It would be better to be talked about than to speak recklessly.
After hearing this, Tsunade also paused for a moment, then looked down following Yōichi's gaze, and then angrily said, "Fine, big it is."
"Indeed, it is quite big."
Crackle!~
With a slight thunder, before Tsunade's foot could strike, a figure accompanied by lightning flashed and instantly leaped onto the roof to dodge that terrifying kick.
When Yōichi uttered the words he already had the consciousness to leave this place, but then Tsunade asked him again, and he subconsciously answered.
Boom!~
Under Tsunade's foot, a large pit was directly stomped into the ground, and the walls on both sides collapsed, just like a ten-ton object falling from the sky.
Yōichi just glanced at it and immediately left without looking back.
At this time, the three sannin of Konoha were not at their peak, but they had also fought against the peak of the ninja world. Although Yōichi didn't understand why Tsunade came to him, just now the words he was forced to say had already angered her.
"As Jiraiya said, the Uchiha clan's evil brat!"
Tsunade was furious. Not only was she teased by a little brat, but she also didn't misread the situation just now. The lightning chakra swirling around Uchiha Yōichi's body was the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
There were many in Konoha who could use Lightning Release, but besides using it for ninjutsu, most could only activate cellular activity, with the main ninja represented by Hatake Sakumo.
He used Lightning Release to stimulate cellular activity, making his movement speed similar to that of other ninjas using Body Flicker Technique, and then used Wind Release nature transformation to slash, making his speed and sharpness terrifying, as if his sword was as terrifying as a white fang.
Hence, he was called Konoha's White Fang.
But to be able to materialize Lightning Release chakra and wrap it around the body to increase speed and defense, only the Cloud Village's Lightning Release Chakra Mode could do that, which was their secret ninja art.
This little Uchiha brat had exposed himself in front of her!
Tsunade quickly flashed this thought in her mind, and then gathered chakra under her feet, following Yōichi's escape direction.
Although the speed of the Lightning Release Chakra Mode just now was fast, it was still not as fast as her as a Sanin.
After Tsunade left, people nearby slowly came out to see what had happened, but Yōichi and Tsunade had left too quickly, and they didn't know what had happened.
Then two ANBU arrived, dispersing the surrounding villagers, and began to investigate the scene.
The deep pit caused by the heavy blow, and the faint footprints in the middle of the pit, were enough for the ANBU to know who had caused this large pit.
So the two looked at each other, and one of the ANBU said, "I'll report to the Hokage-sama, you go find Lady Tsunade."
"Understood!"
