Chapter 17, Yamanaka Shinobu
Yamanaka Shinobu felt that she had fallen in love with someone.
Although today is the first time they met, Yamanaka Shinobu has grown up listening to this name since she was a child.
She still remembers the first time she underwent physical training, when she couldn't hold on and wanted to give up.
Her mother would say, Uchiha Raijin of the Uchiha family has never said to give up.
When she was crying for the first time doing Taijutsu practice with her father.
Her mother on the side would say, Uchiha Raijin of the Uchiha family, the first time he practiced Taijutsu, he was beaten up by his brother for an hour without shedding a tear.
Yamanaka Shinobu wondered, what kind of person is this?
Can he persist even when he's so tired? Can he not cry even when he's in pain?
Is that still a person?
Today, Yamanaka Shinobu saw that person. On the self-introduction on the first day of entering the ninja school, Yamanaka Shinobu saw that person.
That is a person who doesn't look like he has suffered.
Yamanaka Shinobu knows that the training of the Uchiha family is very hard, and this kind of training started when they were four years old.
This is the same as the Yamanaka family.
Because the Warring States period has just ended, these traditions are still maintained.
Every ninja clan will explore a person's limit to the extreme.
Training at the age of four is a summary drawn from a large number of experiments.
It's very scientific.
But two years of physical training doesn't seem to have left any traces on that person.
When Yamanaka Shinobu saw Uchiha Raijin, only one word appeared in her heart.
Red lips, white teeth.
As the saying goes, a fair complexion hides many flaws. Uchiha Raijin's skin is naturally very fair, and when paired with his slightly delicate features, anyone with any aesthetic sense would have to admit that he is good-looking.
His black hair is casually tied into a ponytail, with a few disobedient strands fluttering in front of his forehead.
A lazy temperament naturally arises, and those few strands of broken hair in front of his forehead add a bit of messy beauty to him.
Is this the genius my mother talks about?
Yamanaka Shinobu is skeptical about this.
The first class was a Taijutsu class, and it was in this class that Yamanaka Shinobu truly saw Uchiha Raijin's strength, the genius who, according to her mother, had already mastered five C-level Ninjutsu.
Honestly, Shinobu feels like her mother is lying to her. How could he master so many techniques in such a short time?
But when Uchiha Raijin's duel with Tamura Yoshiyuki began, Yamanaka Shinobu understood that he is indeed a genius, much stronger than herself.
Tamura Yoshiyuki is indeed not very good, you can tell at a glance that he has not undergone professional training, nor has he worked hard to practice.
But his speed and strength are still commendable.
If it were her facing this person, she could defeat him, but it wouldn't be too easy.
After all, she hasn't learned the family's secret technique yet, and compared to Tamura Yoshiyuki, she doesn't have much advantage.
And such a person, in Raijin's hands, lost completely in one face-off.
So, Taijutsu can be used like this?
Afterwards, Uchiha Raijin's guidance to Tamura Yoshiyuki made Yamanaka Shinobu fall in love with this lazy boy.
Good-looking, gentle, without the unique arrogance of the Uchiha family.
If you have to say a drawback, it might be that lazy temperament?
In fact, in Yamanaka Shinobu's eyes, this can't even be considered a drawback, after all, although he is lazy, he is excellent.
When she saw Tsunade and Raijin's duel, Yamanaka Shinobu suddenly noticed that the relationship between these two people might not be ordinary.
But Shinobu still suppressed the strangeness in her heart and focused on watching this duel.
Without a doubt, this was a very exciting duel.
Tsunade is very strong, stronger than Shinobu's cognition, that is a kind of strength, speed, and reaction that completely crushes.
In front of that woman, even Raijin seemed much more mediocre.
But Shinobu knows that this is because of the bloodline of the Senju family.
The Senju family is a family that gets a return as long as they pay.
Before Raijin opened Sharingan, he was not Tsunade's opponent, which is normal.
Sometimes, in the face of talent, hard work is really useless.
After all, from the beginning of their practice, they have stronger physical strength and better recovery.
You can run a lap, they can run a lap and a half, this, there is no comparability at all.
Although Shinobu is only six years old this year, Shinobu also understands one thing, that is, this world, it has never been fair.
Just like herself, she is also the object of many people's envy.
What really caught Shinobu's attention was the scene of Tsunade helping Raijin walk down.
It can be seen that the two of them are already very familiar.
Shinobu pursed her lips, feeling a little lost in her heart.
Because of this, she gave up the idea of going to find Raijin to express her feelings.
...
Ah... is this how you communicate?
Raijin took the packed ramen and looked at Orochimaru.
"As for sparring, let's forget it. My sister finally got on the battlefield, and I want to take this opportunity to rest well."
Raijin's face was filled with a gentle smile as he declined Orochimaru's invitation.
A spar? No
Raijin didn't want to have any connection with Orochimaru.
Raijin knew that Orochimaru would become a very outstanding ninja in the future, one of the three ninjas, a science maniac.
But even so, Raijin didn't want to be friends with Orochimaru.
Because Raijin really couldn't think of what he could get from Orochimaru, other than trouble.
Eternal life? Hashirama cells?
Sorry, Raijin is not interested in these. Raijin's plan for the future is to go to the Konohagakure police force, secure a steady job, and enjoy the extra allowance that the Uchiha family gives to upper ninjas.
This is, after being a corporate slave for three years in his previous life, Raijin's most genuine wish.
As for someone as threatening as Orochimaru, it's better to have less contact.
It's possible to interact, but it's not necessary.
"Alright."
There was a bit of disappointment on Orochimaru's face, it's hard for a six-year-old child to hide their emotions.
Orochimaru didn't say much either, because it was at this time that Orochimaru suddenly realized.
It's hard for him to find a suitable opponent to exchange Ninjutsu.
But Raijin doesn't lack, and even because of this, he is very tired.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Raijin nodded, although he didn't plan to be friends with Orochimaru, he still needed to maintain a friendly appearance.
Is this the way of dealing with people that is engraved in the bones of an old corporate slave?
Raijin laughed a little self-deprecatingly and walked towards home.
