Chapter 278 The Brother's Obsession
Chapter 278 The Brother's Obsession
The next day.
Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Sasuke woke up feeling refreshed.
He discovered his double tomoe yesterday.
The improvement in his Sharingan level not only enhanced his observation and dynamic vision, but also made his body more coordinated.
Sasuke was filled with anticipation for the new techniques he would be learning today.
After he went outside, he heard Karin's voice coming from the side: "Sasuke!"
Sasuke turned around, but froze for a moment.
Because Karin has suddenly grown quite a bit taller, those who used to be shorter than him are now slightly taller than him.
Sasuke was stunned: "Karin!? How did you grow so tall all of a sudden?"
Karin shook her head smugly: "Hehe, didn't expect that, did you? I'm taller than you now."
"So I'm not going to be your junior sister anymore, I'm going to be your senior sister from now on!"
Sasuke froze for a moment, then said angrily, "No way! I'll join first, I'm the senior!"
Karin chuckled: "What senior brother is short? So from now on, you're my junior brother!"
Sasuke gritted his teeth and said, "No, I want to grow taller too. Karin, how did you grow so tall?"
Karin made a face: "I'm not telling you, hehehe."
Sasuke snorted: "I can always ask my master. He'll definitely have a solution."
Karin crossed her arms: "Don't worry, even your master can't make you grow taller immediately."
Sasuke naturally didn't believe Karin's words. He suddenly realized, "Huh? Shouldn't you be on a mission?"
He learned last night that Kimimaro, Haku, Karin, and Shion had gone on a mission together, but today he saw Karin there instead.
Karin blushed: "Hmph, I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't go on yesterday's mission."
"Yakumo didn't go either."
Sasuke didn't delve into it further, but upon hearing Karin refer to herself as her senior sister...
His mind is now preoccupied with growing taller, rather than learning new skills.
"I don't want to be a junior brother, I want to grow taller too."
With that, Sasuke ran toward the training grounds of Konoha.
Karin pouted; it wouldn't be so easy for Sasuke to grow taller.
She smacked her lips and said, "Hmm, Mom said I should eat more to replenish my energy."
Thinking about it, she headed towards the snack street.
……
Training Course.
Qianyao arrived here early and was waiting.
In the past two years, the Third Hokage's Anbu has kept a low profile because many of Konoha's surveillance powers have been transferred to the Hyuga clan.
However, the training ground is quite important, so there are always secret agents on guard here.
However, this member of the secret service was discovered by Qianyao immediately.
Qianyao leaped to the side of the ANBU member, who instinctively took a step back.
Then he bowed to Qianyao and said, "Elder Qianyao."
Chiyo is now a high-ranking figure in Konoha, and even though the Anbu are subordinate to the Third Hokage, they still dare not act recklessly.
"Go and call Kakashi over here."
"Yes!"
This ANBU member didn't call Kakashi immediately; instead, he had another ANBU member deliver the message to the Third Hokage before calling him himself.
At that moment, Naruto and Gaara arrived together.
"headmaster……"
"Lord Qianyao..."
Qianyao nodded and took out a bunch of balloons for Naruto:
"Come here, Naruto, today I'll teach you a new technique."
"Yay, thank you, Principal!"
Although Naruto didn't know why he was given the balloon, he was still very happy to be able to learn a new technique.
"Fill these balloons with water before you come over."
Naruto obediently took the balloon and ran to the water tap at the edge of the training field to fill it with water.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Qianyao passed through the sand defense and ruffled Gaara's hair.
Gaara smiled and said, "No, Lord Senyou, I feel great right now."
Chiyo glanced at the sand surrounding Gaara: "Your ability to control sand is your greatest advantage."
"So you need to learn to control your sand so that it doesn't just defend itself automatically."
"If you control it precisely enough, your sand can penetrate directly into someone's face or body and explode instantly!"
"Most people are quite vulnerable inside."
Qianyao also thought of the extremely powerful destructive force of the insertion technique.
It would be cruel if Gaara's sand could be used like that.
But Gaara obeys Chiyo's words one hundred percent.
After Qianyao said that, he continued to practice his sand control abilities.
Just then, Sasuke came running up, panting, "Master! I...I want to grow taller too!"
This place isn't far from the Uchiha clan's territory, and the fact that Sasuke was out of breath by the time he got there shows how anxious he was.
Qianyao chuckled, "You didn't see Karin, did you?"
Sasuke said a little embarrassedly, "I met her. Karin said she doesn't have any senior brothers who are shorter than her."
Chiyo chuckled; Sasuke had been amused by Karin again.
"She's a girl, so it's only temporary that she's taller than you. You'll be taller than her in the future."
Sasuke asked unhappily, "Then why did Karin suddenly grow taller?"
Instead of answering Sasuke's question, Qianyao asked the two of them, "Why do you insist on being the senior brother?"
"Uh... ah... this..." Sasuke stammered for a long time without getting a coherent answer.
Qianyao pointed to Naruto, who was filling balloons with water, and asked, "Do you know who his mother is?"
Sasuke shook his head blankly. He only knew that Naruto was a Jinchuriki, but he didn't know anything about his parents.
"Naruto's mother is your mother's best friend."
"When you were still a baby, Naruto hadn't even spoken yet. His mother was stroking your head, making you friends."
Sasuke was somewhat stunned; he really didn't know that he and Naruto had such a relationship.
Qianyao stroked his chin: "So, Naruto is younger than you, so you can be his older brother."
"Huh!? Really!?" Sasuke's gaze towards Naruto immediately changed.
He could be Naruto's older brother!?
Sasuke had a strange feeling, as if he should be Naruto's older brother.
"Will Naruto agree?"
Sasuke licked his lips, a strange feeling rising from the bottom of his heart making him inexplicably excited.
Qianyao smiled inwardly; after all, Indra was Asura's elder brother.
"Hmm, ask him after today's training. What if Naruto agrees?"
Upon hearing this, Sasuke suppressed the excitement in his heart: "So what technique will Master teach me today?"
As they were talking, the Anbu appeared next to Chiyo with Kakashi.
Naruto had already filled the balloons and came over.
"Elder Chiyo, Kakashi has brought him here."
After speaking, the ANBU stood aside, probably wanting to know why Chiyo was looking for Kakashi.
Chiyo didn't seem to care too much. He pretended to ask Kakashi, "You have the Sharingan in your eyes now, right?"
Kakashi paused for a moment, then pushed his headband up, revealing his three-tomoe Sharingan.
Qianyao pointed at Sasuke and Naruto: "You demonstrate the Rasengan and Chidori first."
