Chapter 190 The Idiot, Clearing Up His Doubts
Yangping's home, in the training field.
As soon as they started fighting, Yangping's father, Xiangyou, sensed something was wrong. It was too oppressive, as if his Sharingan was being suppressed.
He had only experienced this feeling when he was only one or two tomoe. Since he was promoted to three tomoe, he has never encountered this situation again.
Looking up at Yangping's eyes, Xiangyou was indeed greeted by three tomoe. He was puzzled; if he hadn't known that Yangping wasn't skilled in illusions, he would have thought he had been bewitched by an illusion.
The limitations of the Sharingan are not only limited to the abilities of the eye itself. The Uchiha clan's dependence on the Sharingan is beyond imagination. Without the Sharingan, most Uchiha clan members might not even be able to unleash half of their full power.
And Xiangyou happens to be one of these Uchiha.
So when Yangping forced his father Xiangyou to retreat in just a few moves, the scene fell silent. Both sides were still in a daze and had no idea what the problem was.
Unconvinced, Xiangyou launched several more attacks on Yangping, but Yangping easily dealt with them all.
Gradually, Yangping's lips began to curl upwards. It was unclear whether it was because he had been suppressed too much by his father in the past, or because the current battle reminded him of the feeling when he faced Obito, or perhaps he had just lost his mind.
Anyway, Yangping, who was getting carried away, started to ramble and started attacking like he did when he was facing Obito.
"Oh dear, Father, no, you need to use more force."
"No, this move should be aimed lower."
"Father, why are your physical skills so weak? Did you not eat?"
Yangping became happier and happier as he talked, completely finding the feeling he had when he was guiding Obito. Every word he said was hitting his father Xiangyou in the gut.
at last.
"That's enough!"
A loud shout snapped Yangping out of his agitation. Looking at his father's face, now dark with rage, Yangping shuddered. "Damn it," he thought, "what was wrong with me? How could I have said something like that?"
"Father, I—I didn't mean to—" Yangping pleaded, meek and submissive, like a lackey.
"If it wasn't intentional, then it was deliberate!" Xiangyou walked towards Yangping step by step, his aura rising with each step. The scene was instantly reversed.
"No—no—Father—have mercy!" Yangping began to shout for help, hoping to attract his mother's attention and have her come to his rescue.
-
However, all efforts were in vain. Xiangyou walked a few steps to Yangping, grabbed his ear, and twisted it upwards forcefully.
"Ah~ I'm dying~ I'm going to die!" A pig-like scream came from Yangping's mouth. He didn't even dare to struggle. He could only stand on tiptoe and try his best to lift his head up, hoping to alleviate some of the pain.
Xiangyou didn't care about any of that. Not only did he grab Yangping's ear, but he also kicked him repeatedly in the buttocks, saying, "How's that? Any strength? Want me to hit you harder?"
This lecture lasted for a full 10 minutes before finally stopping after Yangping's mother intervened.
From that moment on, Yangping's father, Xiangyou, found everything about him displeasing. In his words, "That little brat's wings have hardened! He's got a bit of power and he's got a big head on his shoulders. If I don't teach him a lesson, he won't know who his father is!"
That night, in the bedroom where only his father, Shoyo, and mother, Mika, were present, Shoyo, who had completely calmed down, suddenly said, "Yohei's Sharingan is not right."
Meijia was taken aback, thinking her husband was still angry about what happened during the day, and couldn't help but comfort him, "It's a good thing that the child beat you; it proves you've raised a capable successor. Why are you still angry?"
Xiangyou rolled his eyes at his wife and said irritably, "Am I such a petty person? I'm serious, Yangping's Sharingan is indeed abnormal."
Seeing that her husband was no longer joking, Meijia became serious. She sat up and looked at her husband, hoping he would explain in more detail.
"You know there's a suppression between different levels of Sharingan, but today I actually felt a significant suppression in Yangping's eyes. This is completely abnormal!"
Xiangyou was also completely baffled. Although he was also a Jonin of the Uchiha clan, he was not a core member, and his understanding of the Sharingan's secrets was only based on hearsay.
"Legend has it that there are even higher levels of Sharingan beyond the three-tomoe Sharingan, like the eyes of Madara Uchiha in the past. Could Yohei be—"
Meijia, on the other hand, knew a bit more about this and offered her own conjecture, but the more she talked about it, the more unbelievable it seemed.
Those kinds of eyes have never appeared in the clan since Madara and his brother.
After being reminded by Mika, Xiangyou also remembered the legend. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was true. After all, no Jonin in the clan could put so much pressure on him with the Sharingan.
He stood up excitedly, his expression gradually changing from initial doubt to excitement. Few Uchiha were not eager for power. He took several steps forward, wanting to find Yangping and ask him for clarification, but each time he stopped himself.
After hesitating and agonizing for a long time, I finally sighed, "Oh well, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Since he won't tell us, he must have his own reasons. Why should I bother to find out?"
As if a heavy burden had been lifted, Xiangyou lay back down in bed and slowly closed his eyes.
Meijia watched him quietly, neither supporting nor stopping him, until Xiangyou finally made his decision and got into bed, and only then did she lie down next to her husband again.
"Yangping, that kid, although he can be a bit unreliable at times, he's never been ambiguous when it comes to important matters. We should trust him."
A soft "hmm" came from beside me, and the room finally fell silent, with only the sound of light breathing remaining.
The following day, the third day after his return, Yangping finally experienced the bitter consequences of the previous day. He had thought that his father would calm down after a day, but he did not.
Yangping felt like the sky was falling, and his father always had a cold face. Even his mother was affected by his father and stopped talking to him. Yangping felt like the sky was about to fall and his whole being became gloomy.
He persisted like this for a whole day, and finally on the fourth day, Yangping could no longer stand the eerie atmosphere at home, so he made an excuse to go out for exercise and left home.
At this moment, Taiyi had just finished his morning prayers and was preparing to go out to buy materials for making sealing talismans.
According to Taiichi's estimate, it can be completed this morning, and the Flying Thunder God Technique can be improved by the afternoon. It would be best to complete the improvement of the Flying Thunder God Technique before the next mission, so that he can be completely at ease about the safety of Nono and the others.
After visiting several shops, Taiyi finally managed to gather all the materials, piece by piece. Perhaps due to the war, these materials were 20% more expensive than before.
Moreover, he had requirements for who could make the purchase; if Taiichi hadn't shown his ninja certificate, he wouldn't even have been qualified to buy it.
With a sigh, Taiyi realized that the war had indeed brought some inconvenience to the village, and prepared to take the materials home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned my head, I saw that figure in the distance, looking like a stray dog.
Yangping? Why does this guy look like he's been kicked out of his home? Taiyi felt like a little voice inside him was urging him to find out what was going on.
He quickened his pace and caught up with the lifeless figure, quietly following behind him. However, Yang Ping seemed to have truly lost consciousness, wandering aimlessly without noticing Taiyi behind him at all.
This time, Taiyi couldn't hold back any longer. He slapped him on the shoulder while shouting, "Yangping!"
With a start, Yang Ping finally came to his senses. He turned his head and immediately saw Taiyi. Instantly, his eyes welled up with tears.
This startled Taiyi. What happened? It can't be serious, right? It was just a slap! I didn't even use any force!
Taiyi quickly pulled Yangping along, and in a few steps they leaped onto the roof and ran towards their home. Yangping didn't resist and just let Taiyi pull him along.
Back home, Taiyi finally released Yangping and settled him in the courtyard. He then went to pour a glass of water and returned to place it in front of Yangping.
"Speak up, what happened? You don't look like a ninja at all!"
Taiyi now understands why Yangping's kaleidoscope awakened so easily. His diligent training was one factor, but his rich emotions were the most crucial element.
Unlike other Uchiha who express love so directly, Yohei's emotions are remarkably sensitive; everything, good or bad, resonates deeply with him. No wonder his Sharingan evolution is as effortless as eating and drinking.
After a long while, Yangping finally calmed down and told Taiyi everything he had done at home. He wasn't afraid of Taiyi laughing at him and frankly admitted that he was now "homeless".
Taiyi stared at Yangping with an expression that said he was an idiot. Putting aside how stupid one had to be to say such things to his father during a competition, it was simply a blatant provocation.
Looking at his still clueless expression, it's clear he hasn't grasped the seriousness of the situation!
Yangping felt uneasy under Taiyi's gaze. Could it be that Taiyi had seen something wrong with him?
"Don't you know that a high-level Sharingan exerts a significant suppressive effect on a low-level Sharingan?"
Yang Ping stared blankly, shaking his head in bewilderment. He really didn't know about this. He might have been suppressed when he was weak, but after he became powerful, he no longer felt this way, and no one had ever told him about it.
Actually, it's not Yangping's fault. His strength has improved too quickly. It's only been a little over three years since he graduated, but his physical strength has reached the level of a Jonin, and his Sharingan has even advanced to the Mangekyou Sharingan. He is an absolute genius in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
Therefore, before he had a chance to experience or learn many things, that knowledge already seemed outdated. But this doesn't mean that the knowledge became useless, just like it is now.
Taiyi slapped his forehead speechlessly and began to explain the science to Yangping.
"When using the Sharingan, if you don't pay attention to controlling it, the power of your eyes will unconsciously spill outwards. This doesn't affect ordinary ninjas, but it's different for lower-level Sharingan ninjas. They will feel that their Sharingan is being suppressed, and even their own strength will be affected."
Yangping wasn't stupid. After hearing Taiyi's explanation and considering his previous behavior, he immediately guessed: "You mean Father—"
"That's right. Even if it's not certain yet, at least we have some speculation about it." Taiyi nodded affirmatively.
"Then why is Father still so cold-faced?" Yangping was still a little puzzled, not understanding the complex mentality of an old father in that situation.
Taiyi rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. This guy was really smart when he was smart, but he was also incredibly stupid when he was stupid. "How brainless do you have to be to use the same tactics you used on Obito on your father? He's already being kind by not killing you."
Yang Ping slapped his thigh, looking as if he had just realized something. "How could I be so stupid!"
Many people are unaware that they have made a mistake, and some even fail to realize they are wrong after being pointed out by others.
But clearly, Yangping wasn't that kind of person. The moment Taiyi mentioned it, he understood where his problem lay.
Frustrated, Yangping slapped himself twice more, muttering to himself, "It's all Obito's fault. I've gotten used to scolding him. I'll have to give him a good talking to next time I see him."
Taiyi's ears were incredibly sharp; he naturally heard the whispered murmur. Black lines appeared on his forehead, and he almost lost his temper. "You'd better take it easy; this is a backlash!"
Yangping just chuckled after hearing this, stood up and was about to leave. "Taiyi, I'm going back now. I need to take care of things at home."
"Wait!" Taiyi called out to him. "Since your parents have already suspected the kaleidoscope and have chosen to keep it a secret for you, just tell them honestly. But whatever you do, don't spread it around. You also need to learn to control the leakage of your pupil power."
Yang Ping thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I will."
Seeing that Yangping was about to leave again, Taiyi called out to him once more, "Wait, Yangping, I'm going to get something."
Without waiting for his reply, he instantly ran back into the house, and a moment later, Taiyi came out with a pendant-like object.
"Here, wear this. It'll save your life."
This was the only sealing talisman that Taiyi had made before, but now it was strung together with a rope and made into the shape of a pendant.
Yang Ping curiously accepted it. Upon hearing that this thing could save his life, he immediately became serious. He remembered that Taiyi had given him something similar before, which was a treasure that had once saved his life.
"This is an enhanced version of the sealing talisman I gave you before. It can temporarily trap an ordinary Jonin. You know how to use it."
Yangping carefully hung it around his neck, patted his chest, and said, "Good brother, no need to be so polite." He then turned and left Taiyi's house.
Regardless of what kind of turmoil Yangping would experience upon returning home, or how he would explain his recklessness and the kaleidoscope to his parents, Taiyi watched Yangping leave, then turned and went back into his room to attend to his own affairs.
With the experience of the first success, the subsequent productions did not fail again, which invisibly helped Taiyi avoid a lot of losses.
After a morning of hard work, Taiichi finally made two more sealing talismans. Rubbing his sore wrists, Taiichi was quite satisfied. One talisman was for Nonou, and the other for Saori. Now his first goal was accomplished.
