Chapter 49 You said that I should use the sword skills I learned to cut vegetables?

Time flies by in the blink of an eye.

Uchiha Yufeng brought the two of them back to Konoha Village from the border.

“That’s what happened on this border trip.”

Uchiha Yufeng handed the prepared mission scroll to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage smiled and placed it on the table.

"Yufeng, you've worked hard. You seem to have lost a lot of weight during the recent missions. You should take a good rest for a few days."

"Ding, Senju Tobirama (boy) fragment +1."

The Uchiha nodded in response and the Third Hokage continued.

"Do you know where Tsunade is now?"

Uchiha Yufeng shook his head.

"Lady Tsunade didn't tell me the exact location."

The Third Hokage sighed and patted Uchiha Yufeng's shoulder.

"Yufeng, in the village, you were the only one who studied with Tsunade every day during that period and were the closest to her.

It's just... she just ignores me as her teacher. Can you take a few days off and go out of the village to help find Tsunade?"

The Third Hokage sighed and started playing the emotional card.

During this period, the Third Hokage ordered the Anbu to search secretly, but they did not find Tsunade.

Thinking of Uchiha Yufeng, who was very close to Tsunade in the Konoha Hospital before, he began to explain.

"Yufeng, the village is currently facing a tight financial and labor situation, and you have seen the situation at the border.

The Sand Village is watching us covetously, and a large-scale war may break out at any time to attack us.

At this time, without the medical team led by Tsunade as a guarantee, countless ninjas in Konoha will be killed or injured! This will directly affect the outcome of the entire war!"

"Yufeng, can you bear to see those seniors who cared about you and had a chance to survive, but ended up dying on the battlefield?"

Uchiha Yufeng was silent.

Third generation, are you trying to use moral blackmail again?

The Sandai put the pipe in his mouth and took a deep breath.

"Yufeng, I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Yes, don't worry, Hokage-sama, I will definitely help you find Tsunade-sama!"

Hearing Uchiha Yufeng's assurance, the Third Generation smiled.

"I believe in Yufeng!"

"..."

The Third Hokage said some meaningless words to Yufeng before letting him leave the Hokage building.

Looking at the worry in the eyes of his two companions who were waiting for him outside the Hokage Building, Uchiha Yufeng smiled.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"

Uchiha Yufeng said as he walked in front.

"Yufeng, where are you going to take us to eat?"

Yuhi Kurenai looked at Uchiha Yufeng passing by one shop after another and couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Let's go to Xiyan's house. I haven't been back to my house for a long time. I'm afraid there's a lot of dust. It would be too troublesome to clean it."

When Mao Yue Xi Yan heard this, her eyes suddenly widened.

"You're inviting me to dinner, and you have to go to my house?"

Uchiha Yufeng waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Hong and I are just occupying this space in your house. I will buy the ingredients and other things!"

As he said that, Uchiha Yufeng turned into the place where people buy vegetables, picked and chose, and bought some raw meat before stopping.

"Let's go, this is enough for us to eat!"

Uchiha Yufeng handed the dish to Yuhi Hong and put the relatively heavy raw meat into the hands of Uzuki Yugao.

Mao Yue Xi Yan's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" and she glared at Uchiha Yufeng.

"Would you like to compete in swordsmanship next time?"

Uchiha Yufeng spoke to Uzuki Yugao.

"Of course, I will definitely defeat you next time!"

Uchiha Yufeng spread his hands helplessly.

"Since you want to compete, then just take your stuff! Later, when we get to your house, help me. Your sword skills should be very useful for cutting vegetables!"

Mao Yue Xi Yan's complexion, which had just improved, suddenly changed.

"Cut vegetables?! You want me to use the swordsmanship I learned to cut vegetables?!"

Seeing Uzuki Yugao gradually going berserk, Yuhi Kurenai hurried forward.

"Xiyan, Yufeng didn't mean that... He, he just..."

The words were on the tip of Yuhi Kurenai's tongue, but she turned around and looked at Uchiha Yufeng, unable to continue her story.

Tired, destroy it!

"He just what? He just deliberately belittled my swordsmanship!!"

Mao Yue Xi Yan's face turned red and she snorted angrily.

Uchiha Yufeng looked at Xihihong's resentful eyes, as if saying, why are you so angry with Xiyan.

Uchiha Yufeng gave him a reassuring look in response.

He coughed lightly and spoke seriously to Mao Yue Xi Yan.

"There are actually many ways to practice swordsmanship. You can't just improve by competing with others! Cutting vegetables is actually a form of practice."

"Really?"

Mao Yue Xi Yan looked at Uchiha Yufeng with suspicion on her face.

"Of course it's true. Let me give you an example. You mobilize all the chakra in your body, concentrate it on the blade as much as possible, and then cut it quickly."

"and then?"

Mao Yue Xi Yan pricked up her ears and listened to Uchiha Yufeng's talk about how to improve swordsmanship, and her heart felt like it was scratched by a cat.

"Then it depends on how you chop it into shape!"

"What do you mean?"

Mao Yue Xi Yan frowned and came closer.

"If it's chopped like ordinary vegetables, it's barely acceptable!"

"What? How can it be like cutting vegetables normally when you use all your chakra to concentrate on the blade?"

Mao Yue Xi Gao directly rejected Uchiha Yufeng's idea.

"That's your problem. As long as you can control your chakra accurately, your swordsmanship will surely be extraordinary in the future. If you can't even control your chakra, you will only be a Chunin in the future!"

Uchiha Yufeng's gaze finally fell on the Chunin vest worn by Uzuki Yugao.

Feeling Uchiha Yufeng's gaze, Uzuki Yugao fell into deep thought for a moment.

"Precise control of chakra can improve swordsmanship..."

"Not only can it enhance your swordsmanship, but precise chakra control has many uses!"

Uchiha Yufeng looked at Mao Yue Xi Yan who obviously heard it, and said with a chuckle.

"Precise control of chakra..."

Mao Yue Xi Yan took note of Uchiha Yufeng's words.

"Okay, we're home, open the door!"

Uchiha Yufeng pointed towards Uzuki Yugao's house.

Mao Yue Xi Yan gave Uchiha Yufeng a blank look, then quickly walked forward and opened the door.

"excuse me!"

Xihihong said with a smile, and a pair of curious eyes were placed on Xiyan's house.

"Xiyan, the room is so clean, do you clean it every day?"

Mao Yue Xi Yan put the meat in her hand in the kitchen and then responded.

"Yes, I used to clean whenever I was home!"

"..."

The two of them came to the kitchen one after another, sharing little life tips from time to time.

"Yufeng, Xiyan asked me to ask you if you want to start training now?"

Uchiha Yufeng was stunned.

"What are you training for? Isn't it about eating?"

"Didn't you say on the way here that you would let Xi Yan control the chakra and use it to cut vegetables with the sword?"

Xihi Kurenai has a silly and cute look on her face.

“Yeah, but not today, after we finish dinner.

He can just train by himself at home in the future.

I am using chakra control to cut vegetables today. Can the vegetables I cut be eaten?"

Mao Yue Xi Yan's face turned red. While Yuhi Hong was making tea, she found some vegetables, put them on the chopping board, wrapped them with chakra and went down.

As a result, the chopping board was almost scrapped...

If I hadn't tried so hard to cover it up, I would have been really embarrassed.

"Yufeng, didn't you ask me to help you? Then why don't you come over!"

Mao Yue Xi Yan said with forced calmness.

Uchiha Yufeng stretched, finally stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"coming!"

Yufeng saw Xiurihong washing the ribs and rolled up his sleeves.

"Then I'll make the first dish, braised spareribs!"

When his eyes fell on the chopping board, he was slightly stunned, then turned around and glanced at Mao Yue Xi Yan meaningfully.

"Watch well and study hard!"

Then, a trace of chakra appeared on the kitchen knife he had just acquired.
