Chapter 21 Was Father not angry?
At four o'clock in the afternoon, when Ban arrived to pick up his younger brother on time, his heart was breaking.
Seeing his younger brother covered in injuries, with not a single part of him unharmed from head to toe, he almost lost his composure.
Although none of the injuries were serious, Yan Yi is still asleep, with a furrowed brow on his face, looking miserable and pitiful.
"You old bastard, how could you have tormented my brother like this! If you don't give me an explanation, I'll fight you to the death!"
Ban was really getting carried away, and without caring whether the other party was an elder or not, he directly questioned him.
However, the old man showed no emotion, merely glancing at Ban indifferently before explaining, "This is my training method. Besides, your brother isn't that fragile; he's much stronger than you imagine... It's just that you're too protective."
Hearing this reply that showed absolutely no remorse, Madara's anger exploded completely, and his chakra surged, as if he was about to teach this old man a lesson at any moment.
However, the old man didn't take it seriously; although his eyes looked weathered, they remained clear...
He didn't speak, but slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes with intricate patterns.
Just one glance was enough to make Ban stop moving completely, his heart instantly feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, leaving him utterly chilled.
"This old man... is terrifyingly strong..."
Madara's momentary lapse in concentration startled him. He had never activated his Sharingan before, but his combat talent was recognized as top-notch. He never expected that he couldn't even withstand a single glance from this old man.
A sense of humiliation and frustration welled up inside him, but how could he swallow this insult when his younger brother had been tortured like this?
Just as Madara was at a loss, a faint sound came...
"Brother Ban... Brother, don't be like this, I'm fine... Teacher just gave me some normal training."
When Yan Yi slowly woke up, the first thing she saw was the old man and Madara confronting each other. Ignoring her injuries, Yan Yi immediately stopped Madara.
"Yan Yi! How did you cultivate? Why are you injured like this?" Ban abandoned his confrontation with the old man and was now more concerned about his younger brother's condition.
Yan Yi merely forced a smile and shook her head, her eyes conveying a pleading look...
Ban realized his mistake and decided not to argue with the old man anymore. He wanted to take his younger brother home for treatment first. Seeing his brother's feet covered in wounds, he felt a surge of anger.
"Brother will carry you... let's go home!"
After giving the old man a deep glare, she turned around, picked up Yan Yi, and left without looking back.
He's going back tonight to complain to his father!
On the very first day, he had already left his younger brother in this terrible state; with so much more time to go, he couldn't even imagine what kind of torment his brother would suffer in the future...
Yan Yi leaned quietly on Ban's shoulder, feeling much more relaxed. Although the whole day had made him feel incredibly wronged, now that the moment had come, he couldn't bring himself to speak...
The teacher's method may be extreme, but it is indeed effective. At least today, he could clearly feel that his chakra control had improved a lot, and even his total chakra, physical strength, and power had increased.
If I keep practicing like this, I might improve very quickly...
......
Yan Yi was injured and had difficulty moving around, so much so that he couldn't even go to the restaurant to eat. He was currently sitting on the bed, eating a little bit of food...
Looking at his feet, Yan Yi couldn't help but feel speechless. His feet had really suffered a lot. They had only just recovered from their previous injury when they were already wrapped in bandages again.
However, this time it wasn't a sprain, and the herbs my father brought back were very effective; it should be almost healed by tomorrow night.
"Sigh... I wonder if I'll be walking that gravel path again tomorrow..."
Yan Yi felt a little melancholy. Just now, Ban Ge complained to their father that the old man had tormented him, causing him so many injuries...
As expected, instead of receiving comfort from his father, he was severely reprimanded for being impolite.
Yan Yi didn't actually find it particularly unbearable. He had to protect his older brothers and ensure that the little boy who had taken care of him unconditionally could live well. The current suffering was nothing compared to that.
There is still much to be done, and even if it means stepping through boiling water, he must endure it...
Just as Yan Yi finally finished eating, his second brother, Quan Nai, also finished his meal and went into the room. He was a little sad, after all, he saw that Yan Yi was injured again.
"Yan Yi, are you in pain? Should we beg Father not to let you go..."
Izuna had never experienced Yan Yi's grueling training, so when he learned about Yan Yi's training process, he found it completely unacceptable.
At the same time, Izuna was also very angry. Why did his father have to find such a teacher for Yan Yi! Even if he was the elder, even if it was training, he didn't want his younger brother to be treated like that.
"I'm fine, second brother. You know Father's temper. He was just scolded by Ban-ge... It hurts a little, but I can bear it!"
Yan Yi wore a smile, indicating that she was fine, but Izuna was even more upset to see her like this...
The two brothers were chatting in the room when, not long after, Tajima suddenly walked into the room.
"Izuna, go outside and talk to your older brother first. I have something to discuss with Yan Yi..."
Tajima looked very serious. Izuna knew he couldn't resist, so he could only glance at Yan Yi worriedly before obediently leaving the room and closing the door.
Once only the father and son were left in the room, Yan Yi looked at his father and asked, "Father... is there something you want to tell me?"
Tajima seemed to be in a bad mood, but to Yan Yi's surprise, Tajima didn't get angry. Instead, he knelt down in front of Yan Yi's bed and gently hugged his son...
"I'm sorry, Yan Yi, I know those training methods were far too harsh on you. Father is sorry..."
Yan Yi trembled, somewhat confused by her father's words, and hurriedly explained, "No, Father, I'm not sad. I know you mean well! I... I want to grow up quickly and help you and my brothers!"
Tajima was somewhat moved by Yan Yi's answer... Yan Yi was always so sensible, making him feel that he wasn't a good enough father, and at the same time, he felt somewhat guilty towards Yan Yi...
"Yan Yi, good child... Thank you for understanding your father's actions. You must know that I bear not only the responsibility of a father, but also the fate of my entire clan..."
After all, he was his own son, and his most beloved youngest son. It's not impossible that Tajima felt no sadness watching his son suffer.
Yan Yi fell silent. Although her father seemed to have never cared much about her and her brothers, it was only on the surface.
The fact that her father specifically chose a teacher for her this time suggests that he was somewhat anxious... Perhaps the Uchiha clan is really about to make some moves.
"I will complete my cultivation properly, Father, you don't need to worry about me..." Yan Yi said this calmly, as if he had seen through many things.
Tajima felt a pang of reluctance, but he didn't have much time to wait for Yan Yi to grow up...
Based on Tajima's consistently keen intuition, it's likely that the Hagoromo clan will no longer be allies of the Uchiha clan in a few years...
Firstly, they must grow up before that.
