Children of the Uchiha clan usually begin to learn how to refine chakra when they are two or three years old, and corresponding training must be carried out at the same time. They learn swordsmanship and shuriken throwing techniques at the age of four, and learn their first fire escape at the age of five.

Kyojuro, who is already two years old, is no exception and has to start formally learning how to extract chakra.

He happily accepted his study assignments, and then waited to be sent to a place called the ethnic studies class, which was actually a nursery.

The teacher of the clan studies class was none other than the third elder Uchiha Fukutaro’s wife, Uchiha Keiko.

Come to think of it, Kyojuro has to call her "witch".

For a child of his age, the learning tasks in the clan school are almost non-existent. After all, these common sense can be learned through subtle influence at home. Gathering children of the same age together is more about allowing them to get to know each other, which will make it easier for them to cooperate when they grow up.

This is the case with Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Hinata, and also with Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Mori.

After listening to his two uncles reminiscing about the happy times at the clan school, Kyojuro couldn't help but look forward to it.

This is the first time for him to study with a group of peers!

You’ll definitely make some great friends!

……

Kyojuro was led by Koichi to pay a visit to Uchiha Keiko, who was already fifty years old this year.

(After all, it was the Warring States period, and most people died in their thirties. Fifty was really considered a long life.)

The grandmother, who had fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes but still looked beautiful, touched Kyojuro's head and praised Koichi with a smile.

"You have raised this child well, Kyojuro. Your master will praise you at home."

Koichi blushed a little embarrassedly, quickly handed Kyojuro out, bowed slightly and ran away.

Kyojuro looked at this elegant lady with admiration, who could make his father, who had no expression except crying, blush instantly with just one sentence.

pikapika~

Keiko smiled and hid her sleeves, "Kouichi and Fukutaro are really alike, they are both so easily shy~"

"Kyojuro, don't learn that. If you have something to say, just say it~"

Kyojuro nodded obediently. That's right! If you have something to say, you should say it!

She deliberately ruffled the two tufts of Kyojuro's hair, "So cute~"

"Just go through the door next to you. Kyojuro will definitely be able to do it!"

"Um!!"

……

When the clan school was over and parents came to pick up their children, they thought they would receive a child who would rush over and be eager to go home. However, they unexpectedly saw a group of children gathered together, and the one being surrounded was none other than Kyojuro, who currently lived in the clan leader's house.

No, this cute posture, these sparkling eyes, this sneaky movement, this, this, this,

Is this still my own baby?

Grandma Huizi invented a new illusion? ?

There were actually a few parents in the crowd who were trying to break the illusion.

The worst part is, the activity that made them not even want to go home was to queue up to hug Kyojuro? ! ! !

Kyojuro, who was surrounded in the middle, smiled very good-naturedly, "Don't worry, I will definitely say goodbye to everyone before I leave."

"Well, of course we are good friends. We will meet again tomorrow."

"Okay, let's bring some snacks tomorrow and eat together."

For a moment, the cubs lined up to receive the hugs and were in an orderly manner.

The adult Uchiha watching: ...

Uchiha Keiko pursed her lips elegantly, "The next generation of Uchiha is really united and friendly~"

"Oh hehe~"

……

How did things turn out like this?

Let's go back in time a little bit.

At that time, Kyojuro had just walked into the room, and facing the gazes of the little Uchiha who had already arrived, he smiled friendly.

Kira~

Kyojuro got a head turn from the younger Uchiha.

Hmm... she looks a bit like Iguro, Kyojuro thought, so it's better not to forcefully get close to her, as being too enthusiastic might scare her away.

Kyojuro found a futon to sit on, took out the calligraphy copybook prepared for him by Aunt Su from the small bag he was carrying, and began to look through it.

After a while, Kyojuro clearly felt that someone was watching him, and more than one person.

He glanced around out of the corner of his eye and saw that the little Uchiha who had turned their faces away and refused to look at him were now secretly staring at him.

When Kyojuro raised his head and looked back at them openly, they immediately turned their heads back.

Kyojuro thought for a moment, took out a small bag of snacks from his bag, and invited with a smile,

"Although I just had breakfast, I brought some cookies. Let's eat them together!"

The impatient Uchiha said stubbornly, "I don't want to eat!"

Kyojuro didn't get angry, but took a piece and started eating it. A rich aroma of eggs and milk instantly filled the whole room.

A little Uchiha who was sitting closer moved over first and took a piece awkwardly.

"Thank you. I'll bring some snacks for you tomorrow as well."

Kyojuro smiled, "Yeah! I'm looking forward to it!"

call out--

The little Uchiha, facing the super invincible shining sunny smile, was instantly overwhelmed and his face turned red.

Her blushing face seemed to be a signal of something, and suddenly all the little Uchiha in the room crowded over and surrounded Kyojuro, each wanting to get a piece of the cookie.

It's... It's not for Kyojuro's smile!

snort!

Seeing that the snacks he brought were so popular, Kyojuro's smile became even brighter.

Kira~

So... so dazzling!!!

------

After returning home, Koichi and Tajima talked about the grand scene they saw after school today.

Tajima also found it interesting after hearing this, as his own child knew the Uchiha's temper well, he could be rebellious, competitive, or cold, but he had never tried to get close to others.

"Hahahahahahaha, Kyojuro is much more popular than Madara and Izuna!"

“Because everyone is so cute!”

"How was it? It's my first day at the clan school. I'm not worried about my interpersonal relationships. Did you understand what the teacher said?"

Although the main content of clan studies for children of this age is making friends, learning to read and listening to stories, it is also the first time for many young Uchiha to formally learn about chakra.

This first class will definitely explain the refinement of chakra.

Speaking of this, Kyojuro couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

He originally thought that his learning ability was not bad. After all, when there was no one to guide him, he was able to learn the Breathing of Fire to a level of mastery based on the notes left by his ancestors, and he also inherited the position of the Flame Pillar passed down from generation to generation in the Purgatory Family.

However, this first lesson about chakra made him fall into deep self-doubt.

Due to limited experience, in his previous life he had only seen Uzui Tengen and his three wives, which added up to a total of four ninjas, not even enough to fill one hand.

And Uzui Tengen's fighting style is just a few more special tricks than those trained swordsmen, such as training rats, camouflage and infiltration, and the use of special drugs.

But as Granny Keiko gradually explained the uses of Chakra, he suddenly discovered that the ninjas in this life seemed to be very similar to ghosts.

Ghosts are monsters forcibly transformed from humans by the Ghost King. They feed on humans. They are extremely powerful, have speeds that humans cannot match, and have amazing regenerative abilities, so they can recover quickly even if they are injured.

Some powerful evil spirits can use special blood demon arts. It can be said that they have no weaknesses except sunlight and the sun blades made of iron ore that has absorbed sunlight.

In Kyojuro's opinion, the only one who could possess so many special abilities that far surpass those of humans could be a ghost.

But now, listening to Grandma Keiko's talk about the various techniques that can be performed with chakra, he actually had a realization that "the evil ghost is actually myself".

"The Senju family has a special medical ninjutsu that can even regenerate severed limbs. It's a pity that this requires the special bloodline of the Senju family to perform. Otherwise, with our family's Sage Eyes, we would have been able to learn it long ago!"

The tone of Grandma Keiko in front of him revealed a bit of regret, and Kyojuro sat on the futon in a daze.

No, no, no, he is not a ghost!

He doesn't eat people!

Moreover, ninjas at most have better physiques and stronger combat capabilities. Their body's fatal points are roughly the same as those of ordinary humans. They also have the troubles of birth, aging, sickness and death, but they have a little more magical power.

In general, probably, perhaps, it can still be classified as human.

Kyojuro once again confirmed that he was a human being.

Successful,

I haven't learned how to extract chakra.

After hearing this, Ban raised a real question,

"Why didn't Kyojuro learn it?"

Isn't this the basic of the basics that you should be able to learn after listening to it once?

He remembered that Quannai also learned it after listening to it only once. Could it be that the content of the courses in the clan school was different from that when he was in school?

It should be said that it is fortunate that Izuna followed Uchiha Ao to take on the task of guarding the Flower Street and has not been in the clan territory for the past six months, otherwise Kyojuro would have faced a double attack from a genius tonight.

Kyojuro held his small rice bowl to defend himself, and the two tufts of hair on his forehead drooped down listlessly.

"I don't know what the teacher means by spiritual strength. Is it different from physical strength? Strength is strength."

When Kyojuro's hair drooped down, Madara's heart was suddenly filled with a strong sense of guilt!

Kyojuro is still so young, isn't that normal? Why do I have to be so nosy?

Koichi, who had experienced this painful stage, could empathize with his son's questions, but he was a little lucky because Tajima was not married at that time and the genius Madara had not yet been born.

He gave a simple example to illustrate.

"If physical strength is 'doing', then mental strength is 'thinking'. Just like if you want to learn to swing a sword from Madara, you must have the thought of 'wanting to swing a sword' and enough strength to pick up the sword and swing it."

Tajima added,

"We are going to use the Chakra Drive Technique, which is equivalent to using our own power to create something that does not exist in the environment, so Chakra has strict requirements on the ratio between mental power and physical power."

"Creation..." Kyojuro repeated while biting his chopsticks.

"You are still young, and you only had one class today. Don't be impatient, and don't bite your chopsticks."

"it is good!"

……

At night, Kyojuro lay next to his father and mentioned another matter.

"Dad, I seem to breathe differently than everyone else. Is that okay?"

It was not until today, when Kyojuro tried to extract chakra by following the breathing rhythm of meditation taught by Granny Keiko, that he discovered that he had actually been in the state of [Breathing of Flame - Full Collection - Constant].

But this should be his breathing instinct in his previous life as Purgatory and the Flame Pillar. Why can his body, which has not received systematic training in this life, still maintain this [normal state]?

Hao tilted his body to the side and said, "I don't know. Kyojuro has always breathed like this. It's very rhythmic."

"But now that you mention it..." Koichi recalled the time when Kyojuro was just born.

"It seems that this breathing pattern was adjusted by yourself when you first had a fever. After that, every time you had a fever, your breathing rhythm would become like this. When you were eight or nine months old, it was basically this breathing rhythm."

"This breathing rhythm will make your body feel much more relaxed."

???

? ? ? ? ? ?

Kyojuro's question mark was about to materialize, and he wished that every strand of his hair could be shaped like a question mark.

Haoyi looked at his son's eyes widened, and even his eyebrows flew up in surprise, and he laughed a few times.

"The instincts of living things are more powerful than our cognition. This special way of breathing is the result of Kyojuro's efforts to fight the disease. Just use it well and don't think too much about it."

Kyojuro should be the only person in the world who has the blood of both the Uchiha and Senju families, so it is not surprising what happens to him.

everything is possible.

"We ninjas are pragmatic."

After saying that, Koichi patted his son again and again, humming an unknown little tune, and coaxing Kyojuro to sleep.

Again and again,

Listening to his father's singing, Kyojuro, who was full of doubts, fell asleep after gaining more doubts.

……

So hot

So cold

The body is so heavy

Someone is calling my name in my ear...

"Xingjulang..."

"Kyojuro!"

"Kyojuro! Hold on!!"

"Kyojuro!!! Breathe!!!"

call!Suck!

Breath of Fire!

The lungs expand vigorously, and the blood takes in a large amount of air.

It seemed as if something was gradually flowing into the body with the breathing.

Kyojuro fell into a deep and sweet dream.

(As for why the eldest brother didn't realize that he had been using the breathing method, I think that since the pillars of Demon Slayer can maintain the breathing method while sleeping, it means that they have engraved the breathing method into their instincts and it has become their normal breathing rhythm.)
