Sure enough, a hint of gentleness flashed across Itachi's tense face.

"Sasuke, why are you here?"

"I came here after school. Brother, what are you guys talking about? I want to join in too... Eh? Yan, why are you here too?"

Yan Qing threw the last piece of grilled fish into his mouth and playfully hugged Sasuke's shoulders. After all, they were 'good friends'.

"Hey, Sasuke, you're here too?"

"I'm here to look for my brother. What are you doing here? You don't have a brother."

Thinking of how Yan Qing was showing off in class, and how he had ruined his chance to be alone with his father, Sasuke angrily slapped Yan Qing's hand away, looking unhappy.

"Sasuke!"

Itachi sternly stopped Sasuke. No matter what the situation, it was too rude to say such words to an orphan.

"Humph, that's what it is."

Sasuke crossed his arms in dissatisfaction.

"Yan, I apologize to you for being rude to you Sasuke."

Itachi looked at Sasuke helplessly, then turned around and bowed to Yan Qing to apologize, saying that it was his fault if his younger brother did not teach him.

"Ah, it's okay. I don't have a brother anyway."

Yan Qing pretended to be depressed at first, then he smiled indifferently with his head in his hands.

Shisui watched the changes in Yan Qing's expression from the side, and as an orphan himself, he felt very distressed.

He knew very well how much hurt Sasuke's words just now had on an orphan.

If there were no war, if there was a choice, who wouldn't want to have a family?

After thinking for a moment, he squatted down and gently embraced Yan Qing.

"Since you and Sasuke are good friends, and Itachi and I are also good friends, and Itachi is Sasuke's brother, why don't you let me be your brother?"

"Really...really? Shisui-nii."

Yan Qing's face flushed with excitement. This time he was not pretending, he was really excited.

Thanks to Sasuke's great assist, he made a lot of money.

"Just call me brother from now on."

"Great, I have a brother now, brother!"

"Well, would you like another piece of grilled fish?"

"want!"

The two of them happily ate grilled fish. Itachi looked at Sasuke who was still angry and tapped him on the forehead.

"Brother Shisui, Sasuke and I will leave first. I'll leave that matter to you."

"Oh, got it."

After Itachi and Sasuke left, Yan Qing cautiously asked about the topic they had just discussed.

He naturally knew that the two were probably discussing how to prevent the Uchiha clan's coup.

But he wanted to verify his idea and see if asking would trigger any side quests or something.

"Brother, are you talking to Brother Itachi about the mission?"

"No, we are discussing who is stronger."

Shisui chose to conceal it, firstly because Yan Qing was still young and not suitable for being exposed to such things, and secondly, although he acknowledged Yan Qing as his brother out of sympathy, he did not know him well, and for safety reasons, there were some things he could not say.

Yan Qing also knew that Shisui hadn't really opened up to him, so he went along with what the other person said.

"My brother must be stronger. Everyone in the clan says that my brother is the best master of the Uchiha clan. I also want to become as strong as my brother as soon as possible."

"You seem very motivated, but why do you want to become stronger?"

Shisui asked with a smile.

Although he wanted to satisfy the other party's request to learn ninjutsu, Shisui did not want to teach a child who was extremely evil.

"Of course it's to protect my clan members and the village. In the village there are my friends, my brother and Uncle Shoda, the clan leader and Hokage-sama. I want to protect them and make everyone recognize me."

"To protect the village... and the people?"

After getting the answer he wanted, Shisui's gaze became distant and deep, and he repeated in a low voice.

He also had such an idea, but unfortunately reality was often cruel, and the people he wanted to protect were forcing him to choose sides.

"Hey, brother, please teach me ninjutsu so that I can become as powerful as you as soon as possible."

"What do you want to learn?"

"Emm... Let's learn Fire Style first, okay?"

"Okay, let me think. You've already learned the Great Fireball, so... let's try this C-rank technique."

Shisui stood up and slowly formed six seals of Zi, Yin, Xu, Chou, Mao and Yin, then spurted out dozens of small fireballs from his mouth.

Fire escape, the magic of Phoenix Immortal Fire.

"Si Guoyi!"

Seeing the small fireball hitting the rocks on the other side of the river and causing explosions, Yan Qing clapped his hands excitedly.

"The order of seals for this technique is Zi, Yin..."

He had just mentioned the second seal when Yan Qing had already completed six seals. The Uchiha bloodline was still very strong.

I saw five small fireballs flying to the other side and hitting the rocks with loud explosions.

"Learned C-rank ninjutsu, Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique (Apprentice 1/10)."

[Main quest progress: 2/3. ]

"Gain 1 point of proficiency in Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique."

"Trigger a 5x critical hit."

"Gain 5 point of proficiency in Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique."

Unfortunately, the critical hit rate was a bit weak and could not be upgraded directly.

Feeling about one third of the chakra consumed, Yan Qing looked at Shisui expectantly.

"Yan's talent seems to be even higher than I expected."

"Then... let's try this again."

Shisui seemed to want to test him and directly performed a B-level ninjutsu.

He simply formed a Yin seal, and then three fire dragons burst out of his mouth.

Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique.

Three fire dragons meandered and bombarded the rocks on the opposite side. Their power and coverage were much stronger than the Phoenix Fire.

"Huh? Brother, you can actually release a B-rank ninjutsu with just one seal?"

"Sorry, sorry, I'm used to it. This technique has seven seals, which are..."

Shisui slowed down the speed to demonstrate it, and Yan Qing turned around and replicated it perfectly, except that he could only release one fire dragon, and its size was several sizes smaller than Shisui's.

Even so, his chakra was exhausted.

"Learned B-rank ninjutsu, Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique (Apprentice 1/10)."

[Main quest progress: 3/3. ]

"Gain 1 point of proficiency in Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique."

"Trigger a 10x critical hit."

"Gain 10 point of proficiency in Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique."

"B-rank Ninjutsu, Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique proficiency has been upgraded to (proficient 1/100)"

"Main Quest (II): Learning three Fire Style Ninjutsu has been completed, and the reward has been calculated."

Wow, I completed the second main mission in just two days, this must be a record.

The next step is to keep fleecing the sheep.

"It's incredible that he can learn B-rank ninjutsu just by watching it once."

Shisui, who was a genius himself, was also somewhat shocked at this moment.

"I said I'm very powerful, but brother, when can I be like you and release ninjutsu with just one seal?"

"As long as you have a deep understanding of this ninjutsu, and have used it enough times and gained enough experience, you can slowly try to reduce the number of hand seals, and eventually you can use only one hand seal to release the ninjutsu."

Yan Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Simply put, as long as you are proficient enough, you can clap your hands and whatever you shout will come true.

As for proficiency...it's just a matter of a few critical hits.

"That's all for today. I'll take you home."

I can't teach him anymore. This is peacetime. It's too dangerous for a 7-year-old kid to perform A-level ninjutsu.

On the way back to the village, Shisui asked Yan Qing many questions, and Yan Qing answered them truthfully, which further put Shisui down.

After confirming Yan Qing's address, Shisui said goodbye and left.

Yan Qing knew that Shishui would definitely investigate his information later, and after confirming his identity and background, he would slowly and truly accept him, so he couldn't act too hastily.
