Capítulo 12: Chapter 12
A new month begins, and the Superpower Roulette refreshes.
[Eavesdropping Of The Honest Gentleman]: You can eavesdrop on what others are thinking, but you can only speak your mind.
What ability is this? It seems very useful, but the inability to lie gives off a terrible feeling.
Yōichi suddenly became alert. He had been using this Superpower Roulette for almost a year and had come to understand the rules of these random superpowers.
The stronger the ability, the greater the cost.
If one day it refreshes to a power that can directly kill the opponent, Yōichi estimates that he would probably have only one breath left after using it.
The superpower that refreshed this time is indeed quite powerful. Even the most skilled liars find it hard to deceive their inner thoughts, and Yōichi can hear what they are saying in their hearts. Basically, no one has secrets in front of him.
But similarly, he probably can't lie in front of others either.
However, after thinking for a moment, Yōichi thought that if he couldn't lie, then he wouldn't. It's just being mute for a month; how could a Chuunin like him not endure even this kind of thing?
Thinking of this, Yōichi relaxed slightly in his mind, but he didn't completely let his guard down regarding this superpower. Fortunately, he had planned to train alone this month anyway.
Lightning Release chakra mode, swordsmanship, and attempting to stimulate an upgrade to the Sharingan.
Thanks to the rumors circulating freely in Konoha, Yōichi had no friends at all, cutting off his social connections.
Moreover, the Third Great Ninja War was about to happen, and Yōichi felt considerable pressure.
Thinking of this, Yōichi began his swordsmanship training. When he left the guard squad, Kanrin gave him some basic scrolls on swordsmanship, including chakra manipulation and sword techniques. (T/N: Changed the name 'Kanbayashi' to 'Kanrin')
Kanrin even wanted to introduce him to a swordsman from the clan, but Yōichi refused.
Uchiha-style swordsmanship was nothing more than a combination of Fire Release or Wind Release with sword techniques, which didn't suit him, so there was no need to learn it.
There didn't seem to be much to learn about that sword techniques. Master the moves, then kill the enemy. Even the moves seemed unnecessary. A ninja's abilities should be diverse, as rigid attack methods would only lead to one's downfall.
Yōichi stared at the scroll of sword techniques in front of him for a long time, finally feeling that he only needed to master two.
One was to kill the enemy, and the other was to block attacks.
The former only required him to skillfully wield the ninja blade, so Yōichi only needed to practice the latter.
As for how to train, Yōichi already had a method in mind.

Ding ding ding ding ding!~
After Kanrin arrived at the place where Yōichi often trained, he heard this sound and couldn't help but ask when he saw what was happening, "Yōichi, are you practicing swordsmanship with shuriken throwing?"
"Oh, Kanrin-senpai, it's you."
Upon seeing the newcomer, Yōichi replied, "That's right, I want to practice my reflexes. Once proficient, it adds another layer of survival ability when fighting against enemies, but it's troublesome to train alone."
First, use shuriken throwing to make them bounce back towards oneself, then use a short knife to block them one by one. This can also simulate the situation where the enemy attacks with shuriken.
At first, Yōichi found it difficult to block. His goal was to stand still with both feet and block all attacks with the short knife in his hand.
"I plan to post a mission and find a few ninjas to continuously throw shuriken at me. This will also save time."
Kanrin asked, "Why not call clan members? In terms of shuriken throwing, aren't our fellow clansmen stronger?"
"It's precisely because Uchiha's shuriken throwing is so outstanding that I'm looking for outsiders. Kanrin-senpai, I'm a beginner. If I practice with a few clan members and accidentally get injured, I'll end up in the hospital."
The effect of one Uchiha's shuriken is equivalent to that of two people. In this kind of training where he stand still and block, his single tomoe Sharingan is really not enough. If he can last half an hour, it would be remarkable.
Kanrin nodded in understanding, then said to Yōichi, "Right, Yōichi, come to the clan gathering tomorrow. You know the location, it's at the Naka Shrine."
[Oh, I'm sorry for troubling you, Yōichi, but you need to understand the clan head.]
After Kanrin finished speaking, Yōichi suddenly heard another sentence, still in Kanrin's voice, but it sounded directly in his mind.
And the meaning of this sentence seemed to suggest that there was another purpose for calling him to the gathering?
"Kanrin-senpai, why suddenly call me to the gathering? Is it another sacrifice the clan head wants me to make? Let me think, since I came back, the only thing that happened was the incident at the Hokage Tower. Could it be that the clan head wants to punish me for that?"
Yōichi was about to test what the gathering was about, but his mouth seemed to be out of control, speaking what he was thinking.
"Other than that, there shouldn't be anything else. I'd say the clan head is really a loyal dog of Konoha. Without asking about the reasons, he plans to sacrifice me again? This is the second time."
Yōichi immediately controlled himself and closed his mouth.
Even though he thought that way, saying it out loud would be too embarrassing!
"Yōichi, how can you say that about the clan head? The clan head sees that you have almost the strength of a Jounin and wants to cultivate you. That's why he let me inform you to attend the clan gathering."
[How did Yōichi know? Was it obvious from what I just said? However, what Yōichi said just now was indeed too much. Although the clan head wants Yōichi to apologize, it's entirely for the sake of the Uchiha clan. How can you not understand that!]
"Let him come by himself, Kanrin-senpai. I have something to do, so I won't attend the clan gathering."
Yōichi now understood the meaning of this honesty. As long as he speaks first, it must be what he's thinking. When asked by others, as long as he answers according to his habits, what comes out of his mouth will be the truth.
However, speaking is often habitual, so he needs to control his mouth a little.
"Yōichi, everything the clan head does is for the better development of the Uchiha clan."
Kanrin said with a stern face. This time, Yōichi didn't hear what he said in his mind. It seems that what Kanrin said out loud was also his true feelings.
"Alright, alright, Kanrin-senpai. I still need to go train. If the clan head wants to hold a clan gathering, he doesn't need to call me specifically. Moreover, I don't like his philosophy. Don't try to persuade me."
After saying that, Yōichi turned and left. He felt that if he didn't leave now, he might say something he shouldn't, like being the number one loyal son of the Uchiha clan.
