Chapter 27: Reveal?

Chapter 27: Reveal?

Year 51 of the Konoha Calendar, February 20.

There is no doubt that Tobio Uchiha is one of the few members of the Uchiha clan who is sunny, handsome, and kind. He doesn't show the typical Uchiha arrogance to outsiders and is very patient with his clumsy students.

After all, not everyone can have the Sharingan, the eye that allows copying techniques, and he is not a famous master in the ninja world either.

The true great masters of the ninja world:

Tsunade: She personally taught her disciple medical techniques. In just two and a half years, she turned a medical intern into a ninja with outstanding medical skills, who received Tsunade's teachings and could solve injuries that other medical ninjas, like Chiyo, couldn't handle. Even the scorpion took longer to make antidotes than Sakura did to prepare them alone.

Jiraiya: His disciples include Minato Namikaze, known for his unbeatable speed, and the three leaders of the Rain. After more than two years of training, Naruto Uzumaki went from being the worst in the class to a Konoha hero who could defeat Orochimaru, Hidan, and Kakuzu, and convince Nagato with his words.

Orochimaru: A scientist with ambition and ideals, capable of surprising everyone. Sasuke, after more than two years of training with him, went from being a hopeless Uchiha orphan to someone who could talk to the Kyubi with his three-tomoe Sharingan.

In comparison, Tobio Uchiha, a fake master: He uses his medical skills to buy medicinal materials at a discount at the Nara family's store and live fish at the market. Then, he makes his student practice healing the fish. If they revive, they are released; if they die, they are dinner.

For theoretical lessons, he writes the material himself every morning on an A4 sheet of paper. Although he is not as efficient as Jiraiya, Tsunade, or Orochimaru, who in two and a half years transformed Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura into extremely powerful ninjas, he is very diligent.

He is confident that in five years he will turn Yugao into an excellent medical ninja.

This fish soup is really delicious. "Wow!"

After tasting the fish soup, Tobio praised it, giving a thumbs up. "Your ability to cook fish improves faster than your medical techniques."

"Ah, medical techniques are very difficult!"

Yugao Uzuki, after drinking some soup, complained: "It's been four days and I haven't even learned the basics. Sensei, how long did it take you to learn?"

"Me?"

Tobio put down the spoon and leaned back in the chair, reminiscing. "After drinking fish soup three times a day for eighty-seven meals, I learned the basics. If I didn't, I would starve."

"Then, sensei," Yugao looked at the fish soup on the table and swallowed. "Do we also have to drink fish soup eighty-seven times?"

"That's for you, I don't drink anymore." Tobio wiped his mouth with a napkin and continued, remembering the unborn Sakura Haruno and Tsunade somewhere losing money at the casino. "Honestly, I don't understand how someone can learn in just two and a half years and surpass the best medical ninja of Suna, Chiyo. That old woman can revive the dead and give life to puppets. The only reason I can think of is that she wants to win Konoha's favor."

"Old woman?" Yugao Uzuki looked at Tobio curiously, wondering who could give life to puppets. A technique from the Sage of Six Paths? "That old woman is Chiyo, an important figure in Suna." Tobio pointed in the direction of the Konoha inn while playing with the fish in his bowl. "She is the older sister of Ebizo. If the ninja world had a peak in medical techniques, 'Chiyo' would be one of them, 'Tsunade' another, and your sensei would be a third."

"Wow, sensei, your medical techniques are so strong!" Yugao's eyes shone with admiration. She knew her sensei's medical skills were powerful, but she didn't expect them to be comparable to half of Tsunade's, who was said to be able to cure any disease and was the best medical ninja in the world.

Hearing this, Yugao saw that Tobio had become somewhat melancholy and quickly consoled him. "Sensei, you are still young. Don't underestimate yourself because you think you're not as good as them. Only a handful of people in the history of the ninja world can match Tsunade and Chiyo. If I were you, I would consider myself the third best medical ninja."

"That's true!"

Tobio shook his head, setting aside memories of the Third Ninja War. Then, with his hands on his hips, he looked out of the village with pride. "Chiyo is 57 years old and Tsunade 38. When Chiyo dies, I'll be the second-best in the ninja world. When Tsunade dies, I'll be the first."

Clang! Clang! Clang! The clock on the wall chimed. Tobio checked the time and, seeing it was 10, got up. "I have things to do outside. Finish eating and go home."

"Yes!"

Then, Tobio jumped to the roof and, with a leap, reached the Nara clan territory.

With the complaint letter in his pocket, he looked toward the center of the territory. In recent days, he had been informing Yoshino Nara about his visits to the clan. As a good detective, he planned to finish his work today (the last time he would treat Ryoko's son) and deliver the rest of the information tomorrow.

Then Yoshino would discover that he, the private detective, was actually the culprit of entering the Nara territory and knocking on a widow's door at midnight.

Yes, there probably wouldn't be any problems.

Tobio smiled and entered the house.

Apart from Naruto, influenced by Ashura, everyone in the ninja world returns favors and seeks revenge. Less power for Danzo.

Creak!

Hearing the door, Ryoko Nara, hidden in the house, turned around. Huh? Why is he here?

Seeing Tobio sneak in, she frowned. Then, as if understanding something, she showed an expression of comprehension. This guy must be here for the same reason as us, looking for the real culprit to get evidence.

Moreover, he seemed quite experienced, as if he had entered several times.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Ryoko Nara, Tobio blinked, confused. I've been here several times and always enter after avoiding the guards.

Ryoko Nara whispered, "Hide quickly."

???? Tobio was even more confused.

I'm going to treat your son and then go to sleep, why hide? He closed the door and went straight to the point. "Where is the boy?"

Ryoko Nara pointed to an empty room. "In the next room."

"Alright."

Tobio turned to leave. If he had known the boy was next door, he wouldn't have come here. Besides, Ryoko was acting strange today.

Then, Ryoko Nara grabbed his arm. "Where are you going?"

Then, she lowered her voice. "Seeing you, I knew you understood something. You are right. Based on your information, we calculated that the culprit would return today. We came to catch him. I didn't expect you to have the same idea. If you leave, you could ruin our plan. The guards have orders to ignore intruders but will catch anyone leaving. If you know this, stay and hide."

"We?"

Hearing Tobio, Ryoko pointed to the furniture around. "There are people hidden here, in the curtains, in the closet, but not under the bed because it's dusty."

Tobio walked to the curtains, lifting a corner and seeing Mrs. Akimichi smiling at him friendly. Then he went to the closet and saw Mrs. Nara and Yamanaka, who gestured for silence. There were five people in that small room.

Oh, six with me.

Do I reveal myself now or tomorrow?
