The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 99 The Apprentice's Heart

Qianyao had actually been eyeing Sasuke for a while, but he'd been too busy to do so these past few days.

Now that Fugaku has come to inquire in person, that's just right.

"Hmm, Sasuke has good talent."

“I have high hopes for him, but I don’t want a student, I want an apprentice.”

Fugaku's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. Chiyo agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Moreover, the relationship between apprentice and student is even closer than that between student and student.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, okay. I need to go and get ready."

Qianyao picked up his teacup: "There's no need for formalities, and it's not appropriate right now. Just have him come over and offer me a cup of tea."

Fugaku thought it made sense, so he went out and called Sasuke, who was practicing shuriken throwing, in.

"Father, Senior Qianyao, I'm here."

Qian Yao asked with a smile, "Would you like to become my disciple?"

Sasuke's eyes darted around: "Senior Senyao, tell me first, is my brother stronger or are you stronger?"

Fugaku glared at Sasuke from the side: "Sasuke!"

Qianyao waved his hand: "What, you have a different opinion now?"

Sasuke proudly raised his head: "I'm not stupid."

The identities of the three members of the clan with Mangekyou Sharingan have already been revealed.

There is still a lot of discussion about kaleidoscopes.

Sasuke had heard countless times in the past two days that his clansmen were secretly discussing and praising Chiyo, their tone full of respect and admiration for Chiyo.

"Senior Senyao is the number one Uchiha, isn't he!"

Qian Yao smiled slightly: "You need to make your own judgments about these things, rather than just believing what others say."

Sasuke turned to look at Fugaku, whose face was also full of smiles.

His eyes darted around a couple of times, then he came up to Qian Yao and performed a deep kneeling bow.

"Master!"

Chiyo smiled but didn't say anything or help Sasuke up.

Fugaku tapped the table beside him, and Sasuke only snapped out of his daze when he saw his father pointing to the teacup.

He quickly served tea to Qianyao and bowed again.

Qianyao took a sip of tea and said, "Get up."

"Yes, Master."

Sasuke jumped up immediately.

Fugaku chuckled from the side, "Sasuke, why do you want to confirm whether Chiyo is the strongest Uchiha?"

As was his duty, Zuo replied, "I can only help my brother in the future if I become the disciple of the strongest!"

Fugaku glanced at Chiyo. Chiyo's true strength remained a mystery, but his potential was definitely greater than his own.

Although Itachi is younger, he is far less intelligent than Chiyo.

Fugaku's real wish was for Sasuke to become smarter and break free from the mental constraints imposed by the Uchiha clan.

Qianyao is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Your master's greatest strength is not martial arts."

"What is that?" Sasuke asked curiously.

Fugaku patted Sasuke's head: "You'll find out later."

At this moment, Chiyo was also pondering how he should teach Sasuke.

Fugaku is a powerful figure, so he shouldn't be so incapable of teaching Sasuke.

Making him his mentor is undoubtedly an affirmation of his intelligence and potential.

Chiyo decided to first broaden Sasuke's horizons:

"Alright, clan chief, the matter of choosing a site is entrusted to you."

"Sasuke, come with me. Today I'll teach you your first lesson."

He greeted Fugaku and then left with Sasuke.

Fugaku responded and took a sip of tea with a smile in his eyes.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

……

Chiyo brought Sasuke to the training ground.

Sasuke usually doesn't come here because he's still a child.

Previously, the training was all guided by Fugaku and Itachi.

Moreover, most of the clansmen were not in the clan at that time.

But this time Sasuke came with Chiyo.

They found that there were at least dozens of people gathered there, mostly engaged in one-on-one combat, and the scene was quite lively.

When Qian Yao arrived, he was greeted by a constant stream of voices.

"Fourth Elder!"

"Greetings, Fourth Elder!"...

Qian Yao nodded in response to each person, and even called out each person's name accurately.

Everyone has genuine respect for Qianyao.

Chiyo brought Sasuke to the largest training ground in the middle.

"Sasuke, if you want to become strong, the first step is to broaden your horizons."

"You'll watch right here today and see how the Uchiha fight."

"If you have any questions, ask me again when you get back."

As Sasuke walked in, he saw many of his clansmen training diligently, not only in shuriken throwing, swordsmanship, and ninjutsu.

All of these things broadened Sasuke's horizons.

Upon hearing what Chiyo said, Sasuke nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Master. I will watch carefully!"

……

After Qianyao went up, he sparred with everyone.

Then, with his rich combat experience and keen insight, he taught every ambitious member of the tribe.

"He Hong, what are you doing here again? I told you last time that if you don't take care of your arm injury properly, it will have long-term consequences. Didn't you hear me?"

"Zhaoxiong, you haven't done any special training since your left leg was injured, and now both legs are weak, causing poor balance. Go back and strengthen your left leg..."

"Lishu, your wrists are too stiff. You always use your shoulder to drive the weapon, which makes your attacks obvious to the enemy. Go back and do wrist-flipping exercises..."

"Sage, you can't even control the Phoenix Flame? Are you wasting your chakra? Go back and practice in front of the target..."

It was only when Chiyo was teaching his clansmen that Sasuke realized why his master had such high prestige.

Qianyao always defeats his opponents quickly.

They can always accurately identify the shortcomings of their clansmen and quickly correct them.

It was common for members of the tribe to get injured during competitions, and bruises were a common sight.

Sasuke also realized that real combat was completely different from his previous training.

Time flies, and the afternoon is over.

As Qianyao led Sasuke back, he asked Sasuke, "Did you find anything?"

Sasuke nodded, then shook his head: "So besides my brother, there are so many experts in the clan."

"But after seeing so much, I'm starting to feel lost. Master, it seems like nothing I learned at the Ninja Academy is useful."

Qian Yao laughed and said, "It's good to be able to think, but it's too one-sided."

"The Ninja Academy is mainly for ordinary people without a background to lay a foundation, and for children with a background to cultivate relationships."

"You should know that we Uchiha are a wealthy family, so we have everything we need at home."

"Ordinary civilians not only can't afford iron shuriken, but they also have to be taught chakra refining techniques in school. That's the difference."

“After school starts, you will still need to go to school and you will need to brush up on some basic knowledge.”

"Only then will you understand what squad warfare and team warfare mean."

"You need to make more friends so that your path will be smoother in the future."

"I brought you here today to warn you to stay humble and avoid complacency. Even if you get first place in school, that's just laying the foundation."

"To become strong, you must maintain the mindset of an apprentice."
