Wandering the village that afternoon, Yagami gathered nearly a thousand prestige points.
By dusk, when he returned to the valley, Kakashi had already cut every thread and even tied up several more on his own, completing far more than what Yagami originally assigned.
After offering praise, Yagami ended the day's training.
Kakashi's arm could barely lift at that point.
To avoid any long-term damage, Yagami took him straight back to Konoha Hospital.
The diagnosis?
Overtraining.
In Yagami's past world, recovery would take days.
But in the shinobi world, this was nothing unusual.
After a round of dical ninjutsu, Kakashi's arm was good as new.
Once they parted ways, Yagami headed ho…
…
"This guy! Is he avoiding us on purpose?"
"That makes three tis already!"
"Grand Elder, it's nearly dark. Maybe we should return—"
Outside Yagami's house, several Uchiha were stationed by the door, whispering their frustrations.
"Quiet! All of you!"
The Grand Elder snapped at them.
He was irritated too but leaving now would make the Uchiha look even more pitiful.
If they turned around again tonight, it would look like the clan was groveling.
"Grand Elder! Yagami is coming back!"
One sharp-eyed Uchiha spotted him approaching from far down the street and quickly announced it.
Yagami, seeing a group of Uchiha gathered at his gate, imdiately frowned.
Seriously? Already?
Only a few days had passed and they were back?
Assuming they had co to provoke him again, Yagami strode forward with a dark expression.
"You Uchiha guys… can you just leave alone for once!?"
A chorus of anger broke out instantly.
"You—!"
"After waiting so long, he talks to us like that!?"
But before their tempers exploded—
"Silence!"
The elder barked sharply, stopping the younger Uchiha before they embarrassed themselves.
Tonight was for apology — not another disaster.
If trouble broke out again, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Only when Yagami noticed the elderly figure among them did he realize who was present.
It was the sa Grand Elder he'd seen at the Chūnin Exams.
"Young man, we're not here to make trouble," the elder said quickly, eting Yagami's gaze. "We've co to apologize sincerely."
"…Apologize?" Yagami blinked, suspicion rising.
He had crushed their reputation, and they ca to apologize?
Was this so roundabout trick?
People said the older soone was, the craftier they tended to be — so Yagami's guard went up imdiately.
"Yes," the elder nodded with a kindly smile.
"For the foolish actions of our brats, I have co to offer an apology."
"Yeah! We've been looking for you for two days, but you're never ho!"
One younger Uchiha slipped up, unable to hold back.
"Do not speak!" the elder snapped instantly, making him shrink back.
Yagami studied them for a long mont.
They didn't look like they were setting up anything.
And a small crowd of villagers was already starting to gather around to watch.
That gave Yagami an idea.
He smiled faintly and said,
"Well, if that's the case, please co inside."
He stepped through the group, unlocked his door, and pushed it open.
"Ah—yes, of course," the elder said with a relieved smile.
Entering would save him from the embarrassnt of apologizing in the street — a blessing at his age.
But just as he lifted his foot—
He froze.
Completely still.
As if soone had cast a paralysis technique.
"Elder? Are you alright?" Yagami asked, puzzled.
"N-No, nothing… it's just I have been simply standing for too long. My legs are a little numb…"
Yagami's mouth twitched.
How long exactly have you been waiting in front of my house…?
