Nara Shikaku

"Yasuke? Only four years old?"

"Is he from the Nara family?"

Lana immediately revealed Yasuke's identity, causing Zane to couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Four years old, just four years old! Recalling back then, when Zane was four years old, he had just mastered chakra control, and he was known as a genius within the family. Compared to Yasuke in front of him, Zane felt like he was completely inferior. At the same age, others had already completed tree-climbing training, and even water-walking training was completed in just ten minutes under his nose, which was like a monstrous talent!

Unbeknownst to Zane, as he was secretly shocked, Lana's heart was also in turmoil.

Just a while ago, Zane had just heard that there was a genius in the Uchiha clan, named Uchiha Itachi, who also mastered basic fire release jutsu at the age of four and was considered a proud member of the new generation and the successor of the clan.

At that time, Zane was still sighing secretly about the new generation in the clan, thinking that they would have to grow up under the shadow of others. Who would have thought that Yasuke's appearance would break Zane's fixed ideas? Compared with Uchiha Itachi, Zane even felt that Yasuke's talent was even more outstanding.

Because Zane had been around Yasuke for a long time, he knew very well that Yasuke's real training had started just three months ago!

With such achievements in just three short months, surpassing the genius of the Uchiha clan was just a matter of time!

So after the shock, Zane calmed down and pulled Lana's sleeve, asking tentatively, "Lana, who do you think is more powerful between our Yasuke and the Uchiha clan kid?"

"Of course, it's that kid from the Uchiha clan!"

"But..."

Initially, when Zane heard Lana's reply, he was a bit frustrated.

Unexpectedly, when Lana changed her tone, Zane's face lit up with a smile.

"But it seems like your Yasuke hasn't been training for long, right? As long as you can focus the training resources on Yasuke, he might not be worse than that kid from the Uchiha clan!"

"Alright, I understand! Let's see Yasuke's progress!"

Nodding with a smile, Zane calmed down, focusing on Yasuke's distant training, looking at it as if he was looking at the hope of the future for the Nara clan, full of expectation.

What made Zane and Lana even more amazed later was that as time passed, Yasuke's water-walking training became even more perfect.

Even Zane and Lana, two upper-level ninjas, had to admit that Yasuke's talent displayed at this moment had surpassed that of Uchiha clan's Itachi, and he might become the most dazzling star of the new generation!

"Oh? Is the time limit up again?"

"But it's okay. The 60-minute limit is enough for me to complete the water-walking training perfectly. The training cards from the app are really useful, but it's a pity there are too few of them!"

Having completed the water-walking training perfectly, Yasuke felt that with the amount of chakra in his body, the limit for the Shadow Imitation Technique had increased to at least five times. It was a qualitative leap.

Unfortunately, the speed of future training might slow down.

The lack of sufficient chakra had become a significant factor limiting Yasuke's progress. Unless Yasuke's physical fitness improved dramatically, or he obtained scrolls left by his parents from Zane to accelerate the Nara clan's secret technique training, Yasuke's training would enter a stagnation period. At least it would take until he had chakra comparable to that of a lower ninja to enter the next breakthrough period.

Yasuke didn't mind that much.

Even if chakra accumulation was slow and he couldn't learn all the Nara clan's secret techniques, Yasuke could still practice shuriken techniques and physical techniques!

After slightly recovering the stamina consumed during training, Yasuke straightened his clothes and prepared to treat himself to a good meal.

Who would have thought that before Yasuke left this pool, Lana and Zane, who had been watching him train for a long time, would show up.

"Lana, Zane, why are you here?"

Because they had just escaped from the funeral, Yasuke felt a bit embarrassed to see Lana and Zane appearing in front of him.

Instead, it was Lana who didn't pay attention to those details. Lana had just arrived and, without disguising her smile, tapped Yasuke's shoulder and said with a smile, "Yasuke! We saw you training all the time just now, so we didn't want to disturb you. Now that your training is over, we just came to ask about your progress. Have you encountered any difficulties in your training?"

"Yeah, I have encountered some."

After Lana said a few words, Yasuke felt more confident.

Combined with Zane forgetting to conceal the smile on his face, Yasuke thought it was a good opportunity to ask for ninjutsu scrolls from the Nara clan. He mustered the courage and said, "Uncle Zane, regarding the training, there isn't much of a problem. As you know, we Nara clan members are all specialized in secret techniques! Just a while ago, I just mastered the Shadow Imitation Technique. What I'm worried about is that there are no follow-up secret techniques to practice."

"What? You've mastered the Shadow Imitation Technique?"

Just as Yasuke finished speaking, not only Lana but also Zane wore a shocked expression, gaping at Yasuke with eyes that looked like they were seeing a monster.

Finally, it was Zane who smiled and shook his head at Yasuke, then ruffled Yasuke's hair and said with a smile, "Good boy, you've even mastered the Shadow Imitation Technique. When I mastered the Shadow Imitation Technique, I was six years old!"

"Come on! Let me see your training results!"

After saying that, the smile on Zane's face became even more pronounced, and he beckoned Yasuke over with his finger.

Even Lana on the side looked interested, and even the speed of eating potato chips increased a bit, secretly looking forward to Yasuke's performance.

But to say who was the most excited about sparring with Zane, it was Yasuke!

This was the opportunity to spar with an upper-level ninja!

It was a rare opportunity!

So when Yasuke heard that Zane was going to guide him, he quickly formed the Nara clan's secret seal and said with a smile, "Uncle Zane, then I won't be polite!"

"Be careful, don't get hurt!"

"Stinky kid, do you look down on your uncle? Your uncle is an upper-level ninja no matter what!"

Hearing Yasuke's words, Zane smiled and shook his head, then encouraged Yasuke, saying, "You just said you wanted the training scrolls of the Nara clan's secret techniques, right? Alright, as long as you can injure me, your father's scrolls will be entrusted to you!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

With a bet on the line, Yasuke's mood became even more excited, and his eyes became even more serious.

Moreover, with just a glance at where Zane was, a perfect ambush plan quietly formed in Yasuke's mind.

"Uncle Zane, I'll have to make you pay for underestimating me!"
