Chapter 34 If you lack talent, make up for it with love.
Kurenai asked doubtfully, "Teacher, can I choose for myself?"
Mikoto Uchiha: "Of course."
Sarutobi Asuma replied without hesitation, "Do the mission."
As he spoke, he glanced at Shingetsu Seiun. He felt he hadn't performed well in Uchiha Mikoto's assessment today and hadn't earned any face, which made him very unhappy. Doing missions would give him more opportunities to make Mikoto and Kurenai realize that Shingetsu Seiun was just a pretty face with no substance.
After thinking for a moment, Kurenai Yuhi cleverly suggested, "I'll take Misaka-sensei's advice."
Shingetsu Seiun: "Training." As he spoke, Sarutobi Asuma gave him a displeased look, seemingly very dissatisfied with his answer.
The Divine Moon Nebula paid no attention.
Even a fool could tell that Mikoto Uchiha's training was far more valuable than any so-called mission. Catching cats and walking dogs couldn't compare to the instruction of a Jonin Uchiha.
"Alright," said Mikoto Uchiha. "In that case, let's meet at the entrance of the Uchiha clan compound at nine o'clock tomorrow morning for training."
"I'll start giving you missions again in a week, after the period when the genin are all doing missions in groups."
"Okay, Misaka-sensei."
After saying goodbye to Mikoto Uchiha, the group went their separate ways home.
Since there were no missions, Shenyue Xingyun unusually stayed home that afternoon instead of going out.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly. He sat on a chair in his own courtyard, holding the Fire Release scroll that Uchiha Mikoto had given him, and quietly studied it.
Besides, there were several open scrolls scattered around him, which were family heirlooms of the Shingetsu family. Among them was a C-rank "Fireball Technique," which was also the only family-inherited fire-style ninjutsu.
By comparing the two, he could sense the difference between the two fire-style techniques.
Both are C-rank Fire Release techniques, and their names are very similar: one is Fireball Technique, and the other is Great Fireball Technique. The only difference is the word "Great." However, this single word highlights the superiority and difference in quality between the Uchiha Fire Release techniques.
After careful comparison, Shen Yuexingyun discovered that the two C-rank fire techniques differed significantly in terms of chakra flow, chakra consumption, and the power of the completed ninjutsu.
Although in my memory, the Fireball Technique was called the "benevolent Fireball Technique," with no record of killing anyone, in reality, the Great Fireball Technique is a rare technique with decent power that is very suitable for chunin and genin with insufficient chakra.
Upon discovering this, Shingetsu Nebula quickly decided to learn it.
The Shingetsu family's traditional ninjutsu is mainly water-style, while his chakra nature leans more towards fire.
"Fireball Technique" is a technique that is very suitable for him at this stage.
So he put away the other scrolls and began to carefully study the chakra flow and hand seals of the Great Fireball Technique.
Several tens of minutes later, he got up from the chair and changed the hand seals.
『巳-未-申-亥-午-寅』
As the hand seals were formed, the chakra within the body began to be mobilized and circulated.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
Silently reciting a mantra, feeling the chakra gathering in his mouth, Shingetsu Seiun placed his hand seals in front of his chest and forcefully exhaled.
"Phew~"
He blew a breath.
Apart from that, nothing else has changed.
"..."
It was a little awkward. Luckily, he was alone at home, and no one knew.
"Perhaps we weren't prepared."
"Again!"
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
This time I felt it.
He felt dizzy because the wind was blowing too hard and his brain was deprived of oxygen.
Shaking his head, Shenyue Xingyun refused to believe it and picked up the scroll again to study it.
After a while, he felt that what he had memorized was correct, so he mobilized his chakra and formed hand seals again.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
This time, he shouted it out.
He thought to himself that adding a chant might have made it even better. After all, quite a few people shout when they use ninjutsu.
Unfortunately, it still didn't work.
In the small courtyard, the Divine Moon Nebula stood steadily.
He felt he had been hit hard again.
What makes a C-rank Fire Release technique so special?
He already possesses a powerful chakra level of 0.31 kilocalories, so why can't he learn even a C-rank ninjutsu?
Is my talent really that bad?!
It took a long while for Shenyue Xingyun to calm down a bit.
Unconvinced, he found all the ninjutsu materials in his house and began to study them.
I refuse to believe it.
"I can't even learn a C-rank Fire Release technique!"
...
As the sun was about to set, Shingetsu Izumo returned home from school.
As soon as you enter, you can smell the aroma of chicken soup.
I took a deep breath of the scent in the air; hmm, it was very strong.
As I entered the house, I saw Shenyue Xingyun coming out wearing an apron.
"Did the sun rise in the west today?"
"You actually cooked a meal."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Stop talking nonsense, try it and see how it tastes!"
As he spoke, he handed over a spoon and half a bowl of chicken soup.
Shingetsu Izumo took it, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and then drank it.
"Hmm~"
"Not bad, not bad, just the right amount of saltiness."
"What's up with you today? In a good mood? So you're cooking yourself?"
"No." Shenyue Xingyun shook her head.
In fact, he was in a bad mood. Because an entire afternoon had passed, and his progress in the Fireball Jutsu was still stuck at the blowing stage.
Therefore, he came to terms with reality.
Strive to cultivate oneself?
Even dogs aren't fixed.
I'd better try to find a relationship.
"As long as it tastes good." Shen Yuexingyun took off her apron and went into the kitchen. A moment later, she came out carrying a thermos.
Shingetsu Izumo was stunned by what he saw.
"etc?"
"You didn't make this for me?"
"How fresh." Shen Yuexingyun left without looking back: "This is for my beloved girlfriend."
Izumo Kamitsu: "..."
Sure enough, he is still himself, and one shouldn't have any illusions about this older brother.
In my moment of despair, I heard the voice of Shenyue Xingyun from outside the courtyard.
There's still some in the pot, go get some yourself.
While secretly grieving, Izumo Kamui was taken aback, then chuckled and ran to the kitchen.
……
After talking with Rin Nohara and deciding to remain friends, Rin moved up the time they had arranged to meet.
It was scheduled before dark.
As for whether it got dark after the two finished their "study exchange," that's uncertain.
It's still the same little bamboo house on the back hill.
When Shingetsu Nebula arrived, Nohara Rin had already arrived ahead of time.
"Nebula, you've arrived."
"Hey, what are you holding?"
Shenyue Xingyun: "We made chicken soup at home."
"Izumo can't finish all of this by himself, so I brought you some to try."
As he spoke, he opened the thermos and presented it to Nohara Rin.
Nohara Rin wanted to refuse, as it was too much trouble. However, the aroma of chicken soup wafted over, and she couldn't help but swallow a few times.
"Drink up," said Shingetsu Nebula with a smile.
Nohara Rin hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. She picked up the spoon and took small sips of the drink.
"Nebula, that's a bit much. I'm not sure I can finish it all," Nohara Rin said.
"It's alright." Shinzuki Seiun looked at Nohara Rin gently. "I'll drink it if you can't finish it."
"……oh…"
