Qing Liu nodded and expressed his true thoughts: "It's quite easy. The Chakra is very obedient; it goes wherever I tell it to…"
As a Transmigrator, Qing Liu actually knew how special this situation was.
In the original work, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke only began Chakra control training after becoming Genin.
That is, tree climbing and water walking.
Qing Liu skipped this training entirely… The ability to precisely control Chakra is a prerequisite for a powerful Ninja.
Both the cultivation of Ninjutsu and the strength of Ninjutsu are closely related to precise Chakra control!
'The system reward for improving spiritual power aptitude really boosted my talent…'
Qing Liu had a guess in his heart that this should be related to the system's reward for improving spiritual power aptitude, which indeed enhanced his talent… I'm laying my cards on the table; I'm a genius!
"Indeed?" Upon receiving Qing Liu's affirmation, Shinku Yuhi let out a heavy sigh and said seriously, "Qing Liu… your talent is something I've never seen before."
"This also confirms one thing for me: you are indeed a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, and a genius among the Uzumaki Clan at that!"
He already regarded Qing Liu as family, and Qing Liu also considered himself a part of the Yūhi Family.
Qing Liu having such talent made him very happy; their Yūhi Family had truly found a treasure!
Kurenai Yuhi, who was beside them, recovered from her shock. Hearing her father's words, she tilted her head and glanced at Qing Liu.
Then she asked her father with confusion, "A descendant of the Uzumaki Clan? What's that? Is it a prestigious clan like the Uchiha or Hyuga?"
"Uh…" Because he was too excited, Shinku Yuhi subconsciously blurted out his thoughts, secretly thinking, "Oh no."
He had never mentioned his speculation about Qing Liu's background to Qing Liu, who was unaware!
However, since it was already out in the open, he couldn't avoid the topic. He didn't know what Qing Liu would think after being told this… but he couldn't avoid it. This was something Qing Liu would have to know sooner or later; it just… happened earlier.
He had originally wanted to deepen their bond and connection before finding a suitable time to talk to Qing Liu about this… Taking a deep breath, Shinku Yuhi spoke seriously, with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, Qing Liu, for keeping this from you all this time."
"Actually, when I brought you back to Konoha, Hokage-sama and I deduced from your situation that you might be a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan…"
"Taking you in was also for this reason. This was a mission given to me by Hokage-sama, but… I…"
Shinku Yuhi was at a loss for words… Initially, he did take in Qing Liu because of the Third Hokage's mission, but as they spent time together, he had come to regard Qing Liu as a true family member.
Now, telling Qing Liu this truth, what would Qing Liu think?
Would he feel that he was only taken in because of a mission from the Hokage?
This was too cruel for a child. Qing Liu indeed possessed a maturity beyond his age, but… he was still just a six or seven-year-old child.
To be honest, Shinku Yuhi's mind was also in a turmoil now, fearing that Qing Liu would develop a grudge against him and against this family because of it… This was not what he wanted to see!
It wasn't because of Qing Liu's identity as a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, but because he didn't want to lose Qing Liu as family… "Father… Qing Liu…" Sensing her father's tension, Kurenai Yuhi's clever little mind also roughly understood the situation and became nervous herself… Would Qing Liu… leave them?
She didn't want him to!
She even made a decision in her heart: to prevent Qing Liu from leaving them, she could make an even greater sacrifice. Being his little sister forever wasn't out of the question!
"Oh, that? I actually knew about it already." Qing Liu, on the other hand, didn't care at all.
He had clearly heard the conversation between Shinku Yuhi and the Third Hokage by his sickbed at the time and understood the situation perfectly.
Although Shinku Yuhi took him in because of a mission, Shinku Yuhi was indeed good to him, and it was Shinku Yuhi who saved his former self.
He was a lifesaver, not an enemy.
As a Transmigrator, what grudge could he possibly hold?
To be brought to Konoha, a relatively safe place in the Ninja World, he was overjoyed. Besides, he genuinely considered this place home. Would he really leave the Yūhi Family for these reasons?
Don't be ridiculous!
The stupid one was the system, not him… The unexpected situation didn't occur, which made Shinku Yuhi breathe a slight sigh of relief, but he was still a bit surprised: "You already knew?"
Qing Liu smiled: "Although I was weak and not fully conscious at the time, I heard your conversation with the Third Hokage."
He continued, "Don't worry, Uncle Shinhong, I won't hold a grudge. I'm a part of the Yūhi Family now, Kurenai's older brother. With such a cute little sister, I'd shamelessly stick around even if you tried to kick me out."
"If you don't believe me, I'll add the surname Yūhi tomorrow…"
Anyway, Qing Liu didn't know what his surname was; his previous self had no related memories, just like Nagato and Karin, having only a given name but no surname… Hey, could he really be a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan?
If he could exploit a system bug to get rewards and was also a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan, he'd be soaring!
"No need for that, our family doesn't require it." Hearing Qing Liu respond in a joking tone, Shinku Yuhi completely relaxed, rubbed Yūhi Shinnō's little head, and couldn't help but laugh: "But it really is thanks to Kurenai…"
He retracted his previous statement once more.
Qing Liu indeed possessed a maturity beyond his age.
He suddenly understood. The reason Qing Liu didn't plan to become a Ninja before might have been because he already knew about this, harboring some minor discomfort or resentment.
After all, if he didn't want to become a Ninja, being a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan wouldn't matter, would it?… It's just that, as he spent time with them and fully accepted them, Qing Liu changed for their sake.
Imagining all this, Shinku Yuhi's heart inexplicably warmed… Yūhi Shinnō was also happy, putting her hands on her hips and saying proudly, "Hmph, I'm still very important. Today, I'll reluctantly be your little sister, Qing Liu, but only for today!"
Her eyes darted around, and Kurenai Yuhi began to scheme: "Since you've already refined Chakra, Qing Liu, I think we can start our sparring match. Let's do it tonight. If I win, I'm the older sister; if you win, you're the older brother!"
Deciding who was the older brother and who was the older sister had to be done early, otherwise, with Qing Liu's talent, she probably wouldn't be able to beat him for long.
The difference between a dozen seconds and two days, her clever little brain could discern that.
She couldn't let Qing Liu grow up before sparring with him; she needed to suppress him early.
Hehehe… She suddenly realized how smart she was!
