"Awooo—"
Inside the Secret Realm, Kaito stood before his old man with a sullen face, pointing his little finger at a clansman squatting on a tree branch in the distance, making sounds that could either be a dog's bark or a wolf's howl.
It wasn't entirely incomprehensible for clansn to occasionally act crazy.
After all, even his old man sotis inexplicably threw his head back and laughed maniacally.
But recently, these abnormal behaviors had beco increasingly frequent.
Just today, upon entering the Secret Realm, he saw several teenagers standing on tree branches, striking the Golden Rooster Stands on One Leg pose. So even got creative, attaching Chakra to the soles of their feet to hang upside down from the trees, arms outstretched, occasionally letting out hoarse shouts with their cracking voices.
This genuinely gave Kaito a huge scare.
If he hadn't skimd through the classics while organizing them and discovered that two-thirds of the techniques were beast cultivation thods, he might have thought these clansn were just performance artists or sothing.
But when he asked, the response was that the great Uchiha clan was thriving more than ever.
Fugaku, who was ditating under the tree, seed already accustod to his son's disrespectful words. He lifted his eyelids to glance at the boy before closing them again to continue his cultivation.
"Nonsense."
"That's body refinent technique."
Kaito: ??
All written records within the Secret Realm differed greatly from those of the Shinobi World. Under Kaito's tutelage, Shisui could understand so of them, and most of the clan's techniques were translated by him.
Except for those jade slips—one only needed to imrse their consciousness to comprehend their contents.
But these were quite rare. After five years of collecting, they'd only found one jade slip.
And it taught how to refine a Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Because the technique was too sinister, coupled with a disclair inside the slip stating that refining the banner would make tribulation several tis harder than normal, it was left to gather dust in the warehouse...
As for why Fugaku mistook beast cultivation techniques for body refinent—it was simply because these were much easier to understand than other thods, lacking obscure terms like 'Alas!', 'Great dicine', or 'Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow'.
Shisui could comprehend 100% of those beast cultivation techniques, as their contents were straightforward: complete certain cultivation steps to gain corresponding power.
The Uchiha clan's "body refinent" began a year ago. Given their current physical strength, they completely overshadowed the Sharingan's brilliance. One could say that all the Ninjutsu they once knew...
Were utterly futile against their formidable physiques.
"Shoo, shoo."
"Hurry up and leave, don't disturb your father's quiet cultivation."
Fugaku waved his hand, glancing at his lingering son with evident disdain before closing his eyes again to continue absorbing the essence of sun and moon.
Kaito stood there, lips twitching repeatedly as he struggled to find words to persuade his old man to stop the beast cultivation. He was even starting to worry that in future battles, Uchiha clansn might shout "Release!" before transforming into various animals...Feeling the presence of these illiterates, Kaito couldn't help but think that the school needed to be established imdiately to properly educate these ninjas who knew nothing about Cultivation of Immortality.
After collecting all the books from the Secret Realm that day, Kaito directly called upon the Sect Ancestor to help him move these books into the "library."
"I say..."
"You could've just used sealing scrolls, couldn't you?"
Uchiha Hikari struggled to carry a stack of books as tall as a person, grumbling to Kaito beside her.
He kept calling her the Sect Ancestor...
Yet she didn't see much respect from this brat.
"No..."
Kaito lightened Hikari's load a bit by carrying an extra stack of books himself as they walked toward the tower.
"Sealing scrolls can't be taken inside. Consider this an early introduction to your job."
Listening to Hikari's complaints, the two carried the books all the way to the base of the tower. Before they could step through the gate, Orochimaru and Nagato arrived on the scene and began picking up books to help.
"Wait??"
"Weren't you supposed to be working on the school??"
During the moving process, Kaito expressed confusion at Nagato's sudden appearance for book-carrying duty. Just a few days ago, this guy had been full of fighting spirit, declaring he would build a massive Cultivation Academy rivaling a major Sect.
Hadn't even been three days, and he was back here already?
Nagato's face imdiately fell upon hearing this. "Not enough funds. Kakuzu hasn't made much money these past few years..."
As he spoke, he shot Kaito an especially resentful look, the aning in his eyes all too clear.
If not for this brat's impersonation sche back then, perhaps Agakure's finances wouldn't be in such dire straits now.
Not only that...
His proposal to build a Sect-level institution for a hundred thousand students had been vetoed by Konan, who insisted the village could only spare a small portion of funds to support the project.
The scale?
About a hundred students.
And Konan had made it clear these funds ca from Kakuzu's recent hard-earned savings.
The thought that he, a divine being and Foundation Establishnt Stage expert, could be stymied by re money...
It was downright humiliating.
"That is... quite difficult indeed."
Faced with this situation, Kaito didn't dare say much, instead turning his gaze toward Orochimaru, who was flipping through books in the pile.
The snake sage's page-turning speed was remarkably fast, almost like quantum reading.
Clearly, even Orochimaru found himself montarily stumped when confronted with books in an unfamiliar script.
Sensing Kaito's stare, Orochimaru lifted his head, brows knitted together.
"Don't look at . My lab needs funding too."
As a researcher, Orochimaru naturally understood how money-burning serious research could be. No matter how much he agreed with their ideals, he couldn't possibly divert his research funds to these two's school project.
Exchanging glances, Nagato and Kaito both decided it would be too inhumane to touch an Alchemist's research budget, abandoning the idea that had just occurred to them.
"By the way, why don't you just move the books inside directly..."
After several days together, Orochimaru had finally synced with their thought processes, realizing this impressive-looking tower was rely for book storage.
"I need to catalog them first..."
Just ntioning this gave Kaito a headache.
He was the only one who could read all the text in these books. While his Divine Sense could scan them, it would still take considerable ti to properly categorize everything.Anyway, he didn't want anyone practicing that so-called demonic beast cultivation technique anymore.
"Open the door first, and I'll help you organize things inside."
Orochimaru pointed at the gate, using this as an opportunity to learn this unfamiliar script from Kaito.
"Fine."
Kaito saw right through Orochimaru's little sche but didn't call him out on it. Alchemists… being a bit studious was beneficial for everyone.
He raised his hand and pressed it against the pagoda, channeling spiritual energy from his body to activate the magical artifact.
The next second, the faint golden glow shimring across the pagoda intensified.
However, an unexpected turn of events occurred—one that none of them had anticipated.
After the golden light flashed, the books placed at the entrance vanished without a trace, and all four of them were teleported inside the tower.
Imdiately afterward, a deep, resonant baritone voice echoed in their ears.
"Four examinees, welco to the library…"
"Knowledge training will now comnce. Please select your training module."
Orochimaru, Hikari, and Nagato were baffled. Hearing the voice, they instinctively assud defensive stances.
anwhile, Kaito, as the artifact's owner, froze—the voice had inexplicably transported him back to the examination halls of his past life.
What the hell…
Why did this artifact's voice sound exactly like the exam hall announcents from his previous life?!
