66 66. Training with Shisui and Itachi

I hid on a nearby tree as I eavesdropped on Shisui and Itachi.

"Big Brother Shisui, Can you teach me a jutsu? I have already unlocked my Chakra and I am ready to train in Ninjutsu.

Father promised to teach me a jutsu, but soon after he went on a mission. Mother seems to be sick.

She told me that she is pregnant, and I will be a big brother soon. So, she can't teach me jutsu."

Itachi requested Shisui.

"Shisui scratched his back and smiled.

"I think you should probably learn your first jutsu from Uncle Fugaku. I will train you in Shurikenjutsu if you want to learn it."

"That seems fair too, then Big Brother Shisui teach me Shurikenjutsu." Itachi cheered up a little bit.

'Oh! Shisui is about to flex in front of Itachi. I am interested, it has been a while since I last saw Shisui's skills. I wonder how much he has improved with Shurikenjutsu.'

Shisui puts many targets on nearby trees and rocks. He draws out a large number of Kunais from his holster as he held them in his hand. He grips the tip of the kunais between his fingers and flicked his hand.

The kunais vanishes as Shisui turns his palm over and shows them to Itachi. He flicks his hand again and kunais re-appear in between his fingers.

'Oh! He learned some party tricks.'

Shisui throws all the kunais at target. All the kunais hits the bullseye, and Itachi is surprised to see it.

Shisui grabs more kunais from his pocket and throws them randomly in the air. He draws out more kunais and hit the previous kunais to redirect their trajectory. All the kunais hits the bullseye. Itachi's eyes are shining at this point.

"After some practice, you will be able to do the same. Izuna Nii-san is even better than me. I learned this trick from him."

"Oh! I would also like to get trained by Izuna nii-san, but he is always on his missions." Itachi complains.

'Oh! I guess I should give them a surprise then. It is time to test my new cool jutsu.'

Winds start to blow in the training ground as many particles start to gather in front of Shisui and Itachi. They are surprised to see this, and both of them raise their guards.

All the particles start to combine as they form a humanoid apparition. A figure starts to form within the particles and they finally shatter like glass to reveal my figure.

Tadaah…

I appear in front of Shisui and Itachi as I wave my hands at them. They are shocked to see me as they stare with wide-eyes at me for an entire minute. Their jaw is wide open as they gawk at me.

"Are you guys surprised at me? You guys missed me, right? So, here am I." I speak to them to hear their response, but they point at me with shaky hands.

'Did my new jutsu surprised them to this extent? Well, I got the idea of this jutsu from one of my favorite games from my previous life. So, I thought of putting it to use and created this new jutsu.'

'Light Style: Transmat'

"Hey! Are you two listening? Answer me, boys." I try to calm them down.

"Are you really Izuna Nii-san? You aren't a ghost right?" Shisui steps back and looks at me with wariness.

Bonk…

I bump my fist on Shisui's head as I angrily shout at him,

"I am your real Izuna Nii-san. That was my new jutsu. It is rude of you Shisui to label me a ghost."

"So, you really are Izuna nii-san. It has been a while since I last saw you." Shisui smiles sheepishly.

"Izuna nii-san, what was that jutsu you used now? It is so cool, can you tell me about it?" Itachi asks me in enthusiasm.

"That's a new jutsu, I created Itachi. You know, the normal Substitution jutsu with a log appears dull to me. There is no creativity in that jutsu, so I replaced it with my brand new creation."

"Can you teach this jutsu to us?" Shisui and Itachi ask me in unison.

"Hmm…how to say it to you? But this jutsu is unique to me, I can't teach this jutsu to you." I burst their bubble of excitement.

Shisui and Itachi dejectedly hang their neck. I try to appease them,

"Although, I can't teach it to you. You can create your own Substitution jutsu. For example, you can use summons to create such an effect. Shisui, if I heard it right; you recently signed a summoning contract with Crows. Uncle Yagami helped you with the summoning contract.

Why don't you partner with crows to create your own substitution jutsu and arrival? You can teach that to Itachi. Also, if you successfully completed this jutsu, then I can promise to do one thing for you. How is it, do you like my idea?"

Shisui contemplates for a while before he nods to me,

"Ok! Nii-san, you must promise me. I will create this jutsu very quickly."

"Ok! I promise to you. Now, what are you guys doing here?" I ask Shisui.

"Oh! I am just teaching some Shurikenjutsu to Itachi. Nii-san, why don't you show your new Shurikenjutsu technique for us? I have already mastered all the previous techniques and I even created a trick of my own."

Shisui demonstrates his party trick technique as he flexes again.

'Now, it's time for me to flex.'

"Ok! Watch carefully."

I throw out many kunais randomly in the air. The kunais starts to fall down after reaching a certain height. I take out a shuriken from my holster and throws it towards a kunai.

The Shuriken collides with the kunai and deflects its trajectory. It then collides with another kunai and deflects its trajectory too. This continues for a while as Shuriken continues to deflect all kunais. Finally, it hits the bullseye on one of the targets together with all other kunais.

Shisui and Itachi are shocked by this development. Both of them start to clap as they praise me.

"That's too awesome, Izuna nii-san. Please teach this to us."

"I will teach this to both of you. But Itachi you have to master basic techniques first, then only you can move to advance stuff.

Also, you need to unlock your Sharingan to predict their trajectory and aim accordingly. Once you get the hang of your Sharingan, you can repeat my feat without Sharingan just like me. It will become muscle memory for your body, and your normal perception will also increase.

Shisui, I will teach this technique to you. Itachi you can watch me and learn something from observation."

I start to teach them the advanced techniques of Shurikenjutsu. The training lasts for a while as the sun sets on the horizon. We decide to return to clan compounds as all of us walk together.

"Itachi, you are going to join the academy soon?" I ask Itachi.

"Yes, nii-san, I will apply for the academy after father return from his mission. It is going to be a new session by then." Itachi replies.

"Ok! Once you join the academy, I will teach you Shadow Clone Jutsu. You can send your clone to academy and train with Shisui using your real body."

Itachi nods to me. Shisui starts to grumble,

"Nii-san, you used Shadow clone to skip academy too. Now, you are teaching this bad habit to Itachi."

"Shisui, think about it. Academy is a waste of time for talents like Itachi. Academy is only meant for civilian kids to learn some jutsu and know more about Ninja's life. We are from the Uchiha clan, and we have already learned this stuff in our clan.

Besides, Itachi will send a Shadow Clone to the academy. Whenever he will dispel the Shadow clone, all the information gathered by the clone will appear in his mind. So, technically, he is still attending the academy." I try to convince Shisui.

"Well, you have a point there, Izuna nii-san. I will keep this a secret from Uncle and Aunt then.

We reached Uchiha clan compounds as we conversed. Soon, we reached the clan head's residence.

"Oh! If it isn't Izuna-kun and Shisui-kun. So, all three of you were training together." Aunt Mikoto looks at the dirty clothes of Itachi and Shisui.

She had a big bulge in her stomach, and she took support against a wall.

'Oh! Sasuke is about to be born. So, I have one year's worth of time to prepare for that incident. I won't allow anything to happen to you Minato and Kushina nee-san.' I remind myself.

"Mom, you should rest inside the house. The doctor advised resting to you." Itachi supports Mikoto and leads her inside.

"Itachi-dear, I was waiting for you. Izuna and Shisui, both of you come and join us. It has been a while since you visited us."

Aunt Mikoto invites us inside the house, and we follow her.
