Naruto: The Beautiful Uchiha is Actually Me?

Chapter 37 Going out to gain experience?

The Senju clan possesses exceptional physical abilities; even without fully awakened bloodlines, their recovery speed surpasses that of ordinary ninjas.

Banjian spent a week lying in bed, and his two older brothers took care of all his needs, including eating, drinking, and toileting.

After that day, his father never appeared before him again, and he didn't know what his next decision would be...

This matter is not over yet, but even so, Itama seems to have stopped being afraid.

"The injury is almost healed..."

Tobirama routinely changes Itama's dressings, his eyes filled with heartache and guilt.

If I hadn't failed to notice in time... if I hadn't failed to guide my younger brother better when I did notice, he wouldn't have suffered like this...

"I'm sorry..." Tobirama said softly.

He apologizes to Itama countless times every day because he feels that he is the one who injured his younger brother.

"I'm fine, second brother...you don't need to blame yourself...it's my own fault..."

He lay sprawled between the planks, his eyes dull and lifeless.

He didn't know what would happen next, but now that things had come to this, he felt like nothing mattered anymore.

Hashirama stood to the side, clenching his fists, his eyes filled with resentment. He had said he would protect his younger brother, yet he had been completely unaware of such a serious matter...

Tobirama quietly cleaned the herbs off Itama's back, wrapped the bandages around it again, and then patted his head.

"It's almost healed, don't worry... No matter what happens, your brother will face it with you..."

Just as the three brothers were enjoying a moment of peace and quiet, their father, who hadn't been seen for a long time, suddenly opened the door and walked in.

Seeing the coldness in his father's eyes, Tobirama was startled... Could it be that his father's last words, which he said without end, were just meant to scare them?

"From today onwards, Senju Itama will be confined until he comes to his senses," Butsuma said before leaving again.

Only Hashirama, looking anxious, Tobirama, frowning, and Itama, lying expressionlessly on the bed, remained.

Buddha had actually thought about this for a long time and had investigated many things over the past few days. Only after confirming that no information within the clan had been leaked did he feel a little relieved.

Thinking about it carefully, the youngest son is so small that he really can't reveal anything, otherwise... it wouldn't be as simple as just dealing with him.

However, he could see that Itama's mind had not completely changed, and for the sake of the Senju clan's future, he had to eliminate this hidden danger!

Butsuma didn't want to be killed or imprisoned for life, so after much deliberation, he still hoped Itama could figure it out himself...

Without giving Tobirama and Hashirama a chance to plead for them, Itama was quickly taken to a prison-like building in a remote part of the clan's territory.

This is the clan's solitary confinement room, where clansmen who have made mistakes are usually brought here for self-reflection. While it's not exactly a dungeon, it's definitely not a pleasant place...

Cut off from outside light, the entire confinement cell looked eerie...

Banma was locked in solitary confinement. Someone would bring him food every day, and he would spend the rest of his time reflecting on himself.

This is a relatively mild approach compared to directly imprisoning someone.

Itama squatted in the corner, his wrists and ankles locked by special iron rings, completely blocking the flow of chakra.

"Is this the final punishment my father is giving me...?"

His eyes were devoid of any light; he seemed unable to reflect on himself.

His mind was a jumbled mess... Family, honor—these concepts, which should have been ingrained in him from childhood, seemed completely out of place at that moment...

He had thought it over carefully. He didn't think there was anything wrong with his relationship with Yan Yi. Yan Yi just happened to be injured, and he just happened to run into her. It was just perfect timing, especially since Yan Yi was from the Uchiha clan...

In the end, he realized that the crux of the problem wasn't that he had saved Yan Yi, but rather the conflict between the two families. Regardless of whether it was Yan Yi or not, it was wrong of him to have shown compassion for someone from another clan.

All I need to do is live with the sole purpose of killing all the Uchiha.

This is what the father wanted him to understand... or even wanted him to inherit his corrupt and wrong ideas?

This will never end well; at least Itama cannot agree with his father's ideas right now.

After this incident, instead of reflecting on his own shortcomings, Itama felt even more strongly that his father, or rather the entire Senju clan, was the problem.

The pain made him stubborn, preventing him from giving his father the answer he wanted.

However, he would not directly refute it. Instead, whenever someone asked him, he would remain silent, as if he were using silence to resist.

Tobirama and Hashirama couldn't bear to see Itama locked up indefinitely, but their younger brother remained silent...

This gradually made them realize that their seemingly docile, introverted, and obedient younger brother actually had such a stubborn side...

Therefore, this did not satisfy Butsuma, and as a result, Itama has been locked up for half a month and has not yet been released.

......

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Uchiha clan's territory, Tajima was busy dealing with recent affairs.

He bore a large part of the responsibility for the previous failure to attack the Senju clan, but Tajima wasn't the type to give up easily; he now needed to plan the next attack...

The Uchiha clan has been relatively peaceful lately, and his youngest son, Yan Yi, is also doing very well, mastering ninjutsu at an exceptionally fast pace, which has kept Tajima in a good mood.

And speaking of Yan Yi...

At this moment, he was training in ninjutsu with Uchiha Kazuhiko, just like always.

After about twenty days of training, Yan Yi has mastered many basic ninjutsu, and he can even use one or two of the slightly more advanced ninjutsu.

Unfortunately, it's still the same as before; he can't breathe fire.

"Brother Kazuhiko, why can everyone else use Fire Release techniques, but I can't...?"

After Yan Yi's failed attempt at the Great Fireball, he looked at Kazuhiko with some frustration.

Although Kazuhiko found it strange, he thought about it and explained it using theories that everyone knew...

In short, people are born with a natural talent for one type of escape technique, and some with better talent might even be better at two or three...

Yan Yi, however, possessed chakra of four different attributes, but notably lacked fire jutsu...

Although it is possible to cultivate it later, this answer obviously did not satisfy Yan Yi.

While the master and apprentice were still cultivating, Tajima unexpectedly arrived at the training ground...

Kazuhiko spotted the clan chief from afar but didn't speak until Tajima approached, at which point Kazuhiko bowed slightly in respect...

Yan Yi was still immersed in practicing ninjutsu. Seeing his son's focused expression, Tajima couldn't help but nod in approval.

After seeing the power of Yan Yi's ninjutsu, Tajima also thought it was quite impressive...

"That should do it..." Tajima thought to himself, then coughed lightly twice...

"Cough cough..."

"Ok?"

Yan Yi heard a familiar cough, turned around and found that her father had arrived at some point.

"Ah, Father! How could you..."

Yan Yi was a little surprised. Normally, his father had never appeared while he was cultivating, so why was he here today...?

Tajima walked over and ruffled his son's hair, adjusting his demeanor to appear as gentle as possible, then said in a light tone, "I came to see you..."

"Uh..." Yan Yi was even more confused.

Tajima sighed and decided to get straight to the point: "I'd like you to gain some experience. I wonder if you'd be willing?"

"Huh? Training...?"
