Stepping Up Is Not My Cup Chapter 4

The next morning, accompanied by the lingering morning mist, a small figure walked out of the house.

"Dong Shilang, why are you out so early today?" On the way, he met many tribesmen who got up early. Some of them were busy early because of their livelihood. Some of them got up early to exercise like him. When they met someone who knew him, they would always greet him with a kind smile.

"Good morning, Uncle Tesho. I'm getting ready to do some exercise." Aiden Uchiha did not hesitate to respond with a big smile when greeted by his tribesmen in a friendly manner.

At the entrance of the base, looking at the tall torii and the eye-catching Uchiha clan emblem engraved on it, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"I don't want to start preparing to become a ninja so early." However, the Uchiha surname and the tragic ending in the future forced him to work hard to become a ninja early on.

Uchiha Toshiro complained in his heart, then began to jog around the clan territory.

It is now the spring of the 36th year of Konoha. The Nine-Tails incident will not happen for another 12 years. The Uchiha clan is still located in the center of Konoha. After all, they are the founding family of Konoha, and it is not wrong for them to occupy a piece of land in the center of Konoha.

Although the settlement has become a little crowded due to the increase in the number of clan members over the years, the clan members have mentioned many times that they want to expand the settlement. However, looking at the crowded large and small families, Konoha's functional departments and the Hokage Building.

"No matter which world it is, the land in the city center is always very expensive and it is hard to find a house!"

After extinguishing the random thoughts in his mind, Aiden Uchiha began to run seriously. Although this body was not strong like a four-year-old child, it was not advisable to overdo it for the first time.

Set a goal of three kilometers first. See how your body reacts. Then do sit-ups, push-ups, frog jumps, etc.

"Take it step by step. Whether it's the Third War or the night of genocide after the Third War, there's still a lot of time. Don't rush. More haste makes waste."

An hour later, after jogging for nearly half an hour and resting, he did sit-ups, push-ups, frog jumps and other bodyweight exercises. Exhausted, Aiden Uchiha returned home with trembling legs.

At this time, Eliza Uchiha had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him to return.

"It must be hard, Aiden Uchiha." After using a hot towel that had been prepared long ago to help wipe the sweat off the face and neck, he handed over a small medicine bottle the size of a fist.

"Apply the medicated oil to joints such as knees and ankles, and rub them with your hands until they become warm."

Following Eliza Uchiha's instructions, after a busy period, he looked up at her and asked.

"Is this medicine for knee and ankle injuries?"

Instead of helping him as usual, Eliza Uchiha just stood aside and watched quietly. Watching the young boy's unfamiliar movements, she just gave him some pointers on the correct way to apply the cream.

"Aiden Uchiha wants to become a ninja, and these are just the first steps. There will be more difficulties and hardships waiting for you in the future."

"Mika-sister. I will keep going until I become strong and the strongest. No one can defeat me!"

He didn't notice that the person next to him was talking about the strongest person, not the strongest ninja.

"That's a good idea. So, future strongest ninja, let's start eating now!"

He patted the child next to him on the head, then took the child's hand and walked towards the restaurant.

"Today's breakfast seems a little different?" Uchiha Toshiro asked with some surprise while looking at the breakfast on the table.

There were two breakfasts on the tray on the table. Bread, beef, carrots, greens, and tofu. There were also two boxes of milk next to it. Each dish was served on a small plate. The portions were not large, but they were very delicate.

"Of course, if you want to become a ninja, it's not easy. You need to take in protein, vitamins, and trace elements. And get enough sleep and rest. You still have a long way to go!"

"I'm gonna start now!"

"Siguoyi, today's breakfast tastes super good!"

Hearing Uchiha Toshiro's exaggerated praise, Eliza Uchiha's beautiful eyes narrowed with a smile.

Although there was an element of flattery, the carefully prepared breakfast was recognized by the diners. It was not in vain, so I didn't care about this small impoliteness.

"Hey, Aiden Uchiha, you have already started working hard to become a ninja. But at your age, it is more important to have fun..."

"I know! I'll go out for a walk after a break~"

"Sister's child is surprisingly sensible..." He seemed to hear a hint of reluctance in the child's words, but finally decided to listen to her and go out.

"Are you afraid that she will worry?" Eliza Uchiha thought as she looked at the portraits of her sister and brother-in-law on the wall.

"I'm going out!" After finishing breakfast and resting for half an hour, Aiden Uchiha stepped out of the house again with his short legs.

Although it was my first time exercising today, I still exercised for nearly an hour, and also did sit-ups, push-ups, frog jumps and other exercises.

Now I just had breakfast and rested for half an hour, and I unexpectedly regained my energy. It seems that the strength of this body is higher than I thought.

I don't know if it's because of the erosion of chakra from generation to generation, but the physical fitness of children in this world has increased dramatically, and they are a bit exaggerated.

Is it to make the body more adaptable to the energy of chakra? Or is it a different bloodline limit? From what I know, it seems that the older the history of a ninja family is, the higher the proportion of ninjas born in the family seems to be.

While walking in the family residence, responding to the adults' warm greetings, I was thinking about these questions in my mind.

The Uchiha clan members are not as cold and cruel as originally imagined.

In Dong Shilang's original imagination, the Uchiha clan should be a bloody and cold clan that would do anything to open their eyes, killing their companions and relatives.

But after a few days of contact, whether it was Eliza Uchiha who took good care of him or the warm greetings from the tribesmen he met along the way, they all broke his original imagination.

"Well, don't jump to conclusions. Most of the tribesmen I've come into contact with these days are ordinary people, and there are not many ninjas. When we have more contact with them in the future, we can slowly observe them."

While strolling around, Aiden Uchiha also saw a few ninjas wearing green vests with red and white ping-pong paddle family crests tattooed on their backs. Although he didn't recognize any of them, judging by their appearance, they were not much different from ordinary people.

The Uchiha residence is not too big, after all, it is just one family. After walking around for a few minutes, I basically reached the end and arrived under the iconic red torii.
