Chapter 17 - Let's meet the Hokage

The one who called him was Obito.

Sensei Minato, Kakashi, and Rin were sitting opposite him.

However, these were not the things that surprised Uchiha Shin.

What made him surprised was...

...the two people beside Obito.

One of them, sitting beside Obito and directly opposite Kakashi...

...was highly recognizable.

That bowl cut, and that tight outfit.

It was definitely Might Guy.

The other one was very interesting...

...It was a young child, looking about three or four years old.

The iconic 'dumpling nose', and the same clan crest on his clothes.

Uchiha Shisui?

Having recognized the two who were not from Minato's Team, Shin came to the table.

After politely greeting everyone present...

...he slightly smiled at Obito:

"These two are..."

Hearing Uchiha Shin's question...

...Obito laughed heartily:

"Hahahaha, this little brother is my relative, also from the Uchiha Clan, named Shisui."

"Today his parents went out on a mission, there was no one at home, so I brought him along to eat yakiniku with us."

Saying this, he patted Shisui's shoulder: "This is Brother Shin, whom I told you about."

Uchiha Shisui's gaze was drawn towards Shin.

Regarding this Uchiha Shin...

...he had been hearing his cousin, Big Brother Obito, talk about him constantly during this time.

Things like how his speed of getting stronger after awakening his Sharingan was unbelievable.

Saying he was a Genius, a monster, and so on...

In short, Shisui could sense that his own Big Brother Obito...

...seemed to have a bit of admiration for this person!

Influenced by his cousin, Uchiha Obito, he naturally became curious about Shin.

However, since they had just met, he didn't feel it was appropriate to ask too many questions directly.

Shisui, who was naturally sensitive, understood this point.

He very politely faced Shin.

Bowed slightly:

"Nice to meet you, Brother Shin, please take care of me in the future."

Uchiha Shin smiled and came to Shisui's side, patting his shoulder.

"No need to be so polite, when you enter the Ninja School later, you can come and ask me directly if you don't understand anything."

"Okay, Brother Shin!"

After seeing Shisui sit down again, Uchiha Shin suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He prepared to greet Might Guy on the other side as well.

It was too good!

The moment he touched Shisui just now, a golden word entry light rushed directly into his eyes.

There was nothing else to say, he directly asked the System to extract it.

[Fate of Illusion (Gold)]: Your destiny will make you... become the strongest Genjutsu user in this world!

Effect: Genjutsu effect super domain amplification!

The moment he saw this word entry, it was impossible for Shin not to be excited.

Regarding a Ninja's proficiency, don't look at the messy evaluations on the Ninja ID card.

In fact, it can be broadly summarized into three points.

Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu!

As for Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, for the current Uchiha Shin...

...they were already sufficient!

But Genjutsu had always been a source of trouble for him.

His Genjutsu, under the amplification of the Sharingan...

...at first glance seemed decent, but upon closer inspection, it was utterly terrible.

His Genjutsu level, combined with the Uchiha Style Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, was fine.

But taking it out to deal with a Ninja of the same level alone...

...even with the Sharingan's amplification, it was somewhat insufficient.

It was roughly the same as Uchiha Sasuke; when dealing with Ninjas of the same level, Genjutsu basically couldn't be used.

Now with the super domain amplification of this word entry, his Genjutsu level would be greatly enhanced.

These thoughts and ideas were all instantaneous in the sea of consciousness.

In reality.

After seeing Shisui and Shin get acquainted...

...Obito pulled the somewhat reserved Might Guy aside.

And explained to Shin:

"This is Might Guy, a classmate who was in the same class as me, Rin, and Kakashi."

There weren't many people Obito cared about at the school.

Rin and Kakashi went without saying.

Among their classmates, Might Guy was a 'dead last' with him, and both had a good relationship with Kakashi.

Their relationship was naturally quite close.

This time, he and Kakashi ran into a lonely Might Guy on the street.

Without a second thought, they directly invited him over.

Anyway, everyone in Minato's Team were acquaintances.

Facing the reserved Might Guy, Uchiha Shin directly extended his hand.

And said with a gentle expression:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Guy-kun..."

Might Guy, seeing Shin so amiable, finally felt a sense of relief in his heart.

His tightly furrowed brows also relaxed.

He hurriedly grasped Uchiha Shin's hand.

And responded somewhat flustered:

"I'm also very happy to meet you!"

Regarding this unfamiliar Uchiha, Might Guy currently didn't have any particular thoughts.

At this stage, he was still being mocked by others because he could only use Taijutsu.

His personality was slightly introverted.

The friends he cared about, besides Kakashi and Kakashi's circle of friends...

...basically didn't exist.

Shin didn't care about Might Guy's thoughts either.

He only cared about acquiring word entries.

The moment their hands clasped, a purplish-blue word entry light appeared.

This made Uchiha Shin a little disappointed.

Might Guy...

This powerhouse who almost kicked Madara to death in the later stages, his word entry wasn't gold?

However, Shin, whose thoughts turned quickly, immediately reacted.

Might Guy being very strong was true.

But one couldn't ignore his daily efforts in training his body.

And the special nature of the Eight Gates Release technique.

Thinking of this, his mind moved, and the System directly extracted that purple word entry.

[Steel Training (Purple)]: The belief in effort will turn the body into steel.

Effect: Consistent training will enhance physical constitution.

This word entry was very special.

It wasn't a word entry that took effect immediately.

It was a word entry that focused on long-term benefits!

From the explanation, it roughly meant that by training the body daily...

...the body would be enhanced.

A great word entry.

In this world with high attack/defense and low defense, if the body was trained to the extreme...

...not to mention bodies from fantasy worlds or anything like that...

...as long as it reached the physical constitution of a world like One Piece, for Shin...

...it would be an excellent enhancement.

As Shin and Might Guy's hands separated, they each sat down.

The atmosphere at the scene...

...increasingly moved towards that of a feast.

As everyone happily ate and drank heartily...

...and finally, after Minato distributed the mission rewards, the gathering came to an end.

In front of the yakiniku restaurant.

Just after everyone dispersed...

...Minato called out to Shin:

"Shin, tomorrow morning, come with me to meet with Hokage-sama."

Hearing this, Uchiha Shin, who turned around, was a little surprised.

"I need to meet Hokage-sama?"

"Yes! The Executioner's Blade you offered, and your performance on this mission... Hokage-sama has decided to commend you!"

Hearing this, Shin suddenly understood.

That's right, he had presented Kirigakure's signature, one of the ninja swords, to the Village.

And he had defeated Biwa Jūzō during this mission.

No matter what, the Village wouldn't treat him unfairly.

After all, if they really treated him unfairly...

...everyone in Konoha would see it.

If it truly disheartened everyone then...

...it would be difficult to lead this team.

"Okay, Sensei Minato, I'll go with you to meet Hokage-sama tomorrow morning."
