Chapter 135 Uchiha’s Rewards and Attention (3k)
"I'm back."
Obito walked to the entrance, changed his shoes, and told his grandma in a cheerful voice that he was back.
“Hey, is grandma taking a walk outside?” Obito was a little confused when he didn’t get a response.
Usually, as soon as he calls me back, grandma will either come to the door to pick him up, or she will respond with her voice.
When Obito walked in, he realized that it was not that his grandma was not there, but that there were guests. Grandma was entertaining the guests, so she didn't respond immediately.
“Obito, welcome home.” Grandma said with a kind smile.
Obito glanced curiously at the guest sitting in the living room, who was a middle-aged man with brown hair wearing dark blue clothes.
Although he didn’t know who it was, Obito was certain that he was a ninja from their Uchiha clan, because the brown-haired middle-aged man not only wore a ninja forehead protector, but also had their Uchiha fan pattern on the back of his clothes.
“Obito, you’re here just in time. Say hello to Uncle Yashiro.” Grandma reminded.
“Hello, Yashiro uncle.” Obito greeted the guests honestly following his grandma’s instructions.
Uchiha Yashiro smiled and praised: "Obito, you are very good."
“Among the Uchihas close to your age, you are considered one of the best.”
“Hehe, it’s okay.” Obito scratched his head and laughed, not feeling much in his heart.
Because he didn't know the Yashiro Uchiha in front of him at all, so naturally he wouldn't be too emotional about the praise from a stranger, and it wasn't his grandma, Nohara Rin or Mu Yue.
“By the way, grandma, I got first place in the whole grade in the practical exam!” Obito couldn’t wait to tell grandma the good news.
“Well, our Obito is really good. He will definitely become an excellent ninja after graduation.” Grandma smiled and patted Obito’s head and praised.
Uchiha Yashiro also nodded secretly in his heart when he heard Obito's words, thinking that Obito was indeed worthy of his visit.
Although being first in grade does not necessarily mean how strong you will be in the future, it can prove that you are very good at this stage.
He remembered that there was an Uchiha named Tie Huo who was the same age as Obito. His strength was considered good for his age, but he had not won the first place in the grade.
“Keep going like this and strive to become a ninja worthy of inheriting Uchiha’s glory.” Uchiha Yashiro said.
After speaking, Uchiha Yashiro put some of the nutritional supplements he had brought on the table, and then counted out 50,000 taels of money and put them on the table.
“We Uchiha are never stingy with outstanding people. This is a reward for your achievements.” Uchiha Yashiro said.
He definitely didn’t come here to chat with Grandma Obito. Although the Uchiha were somewhat related to each other, except for their immediate family members, normal Uchiha would not waste their time chatting with the elderly.
He came to Obito's home just to give Obito a reward.
This is a policy within the Uchiha clan. If a member of the clan is far more powerful than his peers, he will be rewarded.
Obito should have received this reward during the final exam.
However, the Uchiha senior officials did not send anyone to keep an eye on the Ninja School results. Obito only had his grandmother, and his peers were only familiar with one Uchiha Shisui, so he had no sense of presence in the Uchiha.
So it was only recently that Uchiha realized that Obito, an Uchiha child with no sense of existence, had counterattacked and turned into an Uchiha genius.
“Next, practice hard. After you graduate, you can join the clan’s police force. I will take you with you personally.” Yashiro Uchiha continued.
Ninjas from large families have some privileges.
The privilege of the Hyuga clan is that the clan can directly receive education within the clan without going to a ninja school and then become a genin and then take the chunin exam.
The privilege of the Uchiha clan is the Konoha Police Force.
The Konoha Police Force is fully controlled by Uchiha, and everyone in the department is a ninja from the Uchiha clan. Uchiha can hold any position he wants his clan members to hold.
If Obito can maintain such excellent strength in the future, Uchiha Yashiro would not mind becoming a teacher on Obito's ninja journey.
The premise is that such a level of excellence has been maintained, otherwise the guidance he mentioned can only be used to familiarize himself with the work in the early stages.
Since ancient times, the ancestral motto of the Uchiha clan has been to respect the strong. There has never been any sympathy for the weak. If you have strength, you can have everything. Without strength, no one will care about you no matter how difficult it is.
“Thank you so much, I will practice hard.” Obito said with a grateful face. Then he selectively ignored Uchiha Yashiro's words about joining the police department.
Looking at Obito's grateful expression, Yashiro Uchiha nodded secretly in his heart.
“Communicate more with Uchiha peers and seniors. Only the clan members are the most reliable force.”
"After you graduate as a genin, you can apply to the clan to learn new fire escape ninjutsu." After saying that, Uchiha Yashiro left Obito's home.
“Obito in our family is really promising. Your father has never been rewarded by the family before. You are already better than your father.” Grandma said with a smile.
"Father..." Obito recalled it in his mind, but he couldn't find any figure related to the word father.
His parents died before he could remember. However, precisely because he has no memory, Obito’s childhood life was quite happy, because his grandma was with him, and he did not lack the love from his elders.
"Grandma, please put the money away quickly. It will blow away in the wind later." Obito arranged the money on the table and handed it to grandma.
“Obito, you can buy food by yourself. This is what you earned. Grandma doesn’t want it.” Grandma said with a kind smile.
"Then I'll keep the money with you, grandma, because I'm afraid of losing it." Obito thought for a while and took out a hundred taels, and then handed the rest of the money to grandma.
Grandma finally accepted the money from Obito with a look of relief.
“Obito, you are really sensible.” Grandma sighed, “I just don’t know when I will be able to have a great-grandson for me.”
Hearing that grandma was talking about having a grandson, Obito's face turned red quickly and reminded him:
“Grandma, I’m still in school!”
Grandma Obito smiled and said, "You can also cultivate relationships first when you go to school. Your father is your mother's classmate."
“I think Xiaolin is a very nice kid and seems very considerate. How are you getting along recently?”
“I’m going to study!” Obito ran upstairs with a blushing face.
…
“Turning around, it looks like this is it.” Mu Yue looked up at the name of the store and walked into it.
He felt that the name of the shop owner was a bit abstract. If it weren't for the words "ninja tools" written next to the name of the shop, most people would probably not be able to understand what the shop was selling when they saw the name.
Had it not been for Minato's recommendation, Mu Yue would probably have gone to a ninja shop with a more normal name.
Walking into the store, Mu Yue took a few glances. The walls of the counter were covered with various ninja tools, including various styles of kunai shurikens.
Compared with the name, the layout of the store is no different from that of an ordinary ninja shop.
“Guest, do you need any tools?” A young man with a warm smile on his face walked up and asked.
“Can I borrow your equipment to build the ninja tool myself? I may need some assistance from you during the process.” Mu Yue asked directly.
“Borrow the equipment and build it yourself?” The young man was a little confused. It had been several years since he took over the ninja shop, and this was the first time he had encountered such a request.
“If you want to create a specific ninja tool, our store accepts customization services.” The young boss thought for a while and said.
Mu Yue felt that her boss had misunderstood him, so she explained:
“I am planning to make a ninja tool myself and give it to others. I put more emphasis on the intention of making it myself than on its practicality.”
“Is that so? That’s really thoughtful.” The young boss showed a look of realization.
“Whether you use the equipment or need assistance, I will pay you accordingly. If there are any accidents during the building process, I will be responsible for it,” Mu Yue said.
Mu Yue's salary and bonus at the end of the last semester were not spent. In addition to the salary for summer special training and one month's salary for the new semester, he was left with expenses that needed to be prepared for unexpected events. He had a budget of less than 700,000 taels. no problem.
Mu Yue felt that it shouldn't be such an exaggeration. He didn't want something made of pure chakra metal made of meteorite.
A kunai of ordinary quality usually only costs two hundred taels. Even if it were doubled a thousand times, it would only cost two hundred thousand taels.
"It must be a gift to someone important. Fortunately, you came to my place. Nowadays, Konoha ninja shops basically buy and sell goods from other places, and there are very few tools for forging ninja tools." The young boss thought. After thinking about it, he said.
Originally, he wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Mu Yue was so thoughtful and would pay her accordingly, he decided to agree.
"Come with me." The young boss called a young woman who looked about the same age as him to come down to look at the store, and he took Mu Yue out of the ninja shop.
Mu Yue followed the young boss to their backyard warehouse.
“I occasionally make some high-quality ninja tools for sale, but I don’t use them much now, so it’s more profitable to sell ordinary ninja tools.” The young boss said, pointing to the forging equipment in the warehouse.
“Nowadays, factories manufacture in large quantities, and times have changed.” The young boss said with emotion.
When he was a child, he often learned to make various ninja tools with his father. However, more than ten years later, times have changed. Making ninja tools purely by hand is not only more tiring, but also inefficient.
The two then discussed the price. Muyue needed to pay for all the materials used during the period, and then she had to give the boss instructions on the cost.
Mu Yue used ordinary materials to practice in the early stage of preparation, and then started to use better materials to formally build after she became proficient.
The birthdays of his three disciples are Shisui on October 19th, Metkai on January 1st, and Obito on February 10th.
The closest one is Shisui, and there are only eight days left. Counting some related books that she has read before, Mu Yue feels that she can barely catch up if she uses the shadow clone to speed up her studies.
Practing Ninjutsu with shadow clones consumes a lot of chakra, because you have to leave enough chakra for each shadow clone to use Ninjutsu, but blacksmithing is different. Just be careful not to divide it too much and accumulate too much fatigue.
And in the final build, you can ask the boss to assist you throughout the process, which is enough to make up for a lot of things.
I felt dizzy and didn’t get up until four o’clock in the afternoon.
