Six Uchiha worked together to battle one person. Liuyun had held the upper hand at first, but he quickly learned what it meant for two fists to be no match for twelve legs.

These were all children of the Uchiha Clan. In terms of hand-to-hand combat alone, they were far stronger than ordinary people. Liuyun couldn't take them all on without getting hurt.

That was under the condition that they hadn't dared use hidden weapons or even ninjutsu.

Amid the chaotic battle, despite his excellent vision and reaction speed, he still inevitably took several punches and kicks.

However, those attacks had little effect on him. Liuyun still had plenty of Chakra in his body, and taking a child's punches and kicks head-on was no problem at all.

Facing an attack from both front and back, Liuyun took a kick to his back, seized the right moment, and drove a heavy punch into the abdomen of one Uchiha boy.

The boy vomited up stomach acid and was sent flying a great distance by the tremendous force.

Liuyun staggered from the kick behind him. He adjusted his stance at top speed, then immediately turned his head aside, narrowly avoiding the fist smashing toward him from behind.

"Liuyun, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing her deskmate get hit several times, Kushina finally couldn't hold herself back and joined the fight.

Worried that she would get hurt, Liuyun wanted to tell her not to come over. But another person suddenly leaped high into the air and swung a vicious roundhouse kick at Liuyun's head.

He no longer had time to speak.

Liuyun's eyes narrowed. With his terrifying vision, he instantly saw through his opponent's movements.

Instead of retreating, he raised his arm and stepped forward, striking second but arriving first with a rising elbow that slammed fiercely into the other boy's shin.

That blow was unforgettable. The boy who had thrown the roundhouse kick flushed bright red, his eyes bulging so hard they nearly popped from their sockets.

"Ah..."

He opened his mouth wide and let out a heart-wrenching scream before clutching his shin and collapsing to the ground.

That brutal head-on clash caused tiny fractures in his shinbone. The pain left him unable to take part in the rest of the fight.

Four of the Eight Uchiha had fallen. Kushina had chosen Uchiha Chiya, leaving Liuyun with only three opponents.

One of them saw that things were going badly. Panic seized him, and he could no longer fight freely. Liuyun caught the opportunity and kicked him sprawling.

After knocking down another opponent, Liuyun fixed his gaze on Uchiha Yan, and the two erupted into another fierce clash.

Uchiha Yan was very strong, and his taijutsu was indeed impressive. Liuyun couldn't take him down right away.

However, Liuyun had barely spent any Chakra, and he still had half his stamina left. Defeating Uchiha Yan was only a matter of time.

"Wait, I'm done fighting..."

After a brutal exchange of fists and kicks, Uchiha Yan finally couldn't endure the pain in his hands and feet any longer. He repeatedly waved his hands, signaling for Liuyun to stop.

His exposed limbs were swollen and red. In terms of injuries, he was no better off than the clan members wailing on the ground.

"Hmph... You think you can stop just because you want to? Dream on!"

Liuyun snorted coldly and did not stop attacking.

A minute later, Uchiha Yan was kicked to the ground. He could no longer maintain his cool facade, and cries of pain continuously spilled from his mouth.

"Ah..."

On Kushina's side, Uchiha Chiya was no match for the Red Hot Habanero in a one-on-one fight.

He was quickly knocked to the ground, and Kushina stretched out her long legs and stomped on him repeatedly.

"M-Monsters..."

The last remaining Uchiha saw that things had gone terribly wrong. His hands and feet ached badly as well, and he instantly lost all desire to continue fighting. He turned and ran, screaming in terror as he fled.

Liuyun quickly caught up to him and drove a hard kick into his back.

The boy hit the ground face-first and fell flat on his stomach, tears streaming down his face from the pain.

Liuyun swept his gaze over the Uchiha who were constantly groaning on the ground. Whenever he saw someone who looked to be in better condition, he immediately went over and gave them a few more punches and kicks.

"Letting you bastards bully Liuyun! Out of the whole school, you Uchiha are the most stuck-up! Don't you usually love acting cool? I'll beat you to death..."

Kushina had gone wild with excitement and gotten addicted to the beating!

She cursed while she fought, and before she knew it, she had dragged Liuyun into her insults too...

The two struck one after another, beating the eight elementary school students until they scattered like rats. Though they were covered in injuries, the eight could only endure the pain and flee in a hurry to avoid getting beaten further.

Very soon, only one boy and one girl remained in the secluded clearing.

"Haha! Liuyun, you're amazing! I never expected you to be this strong!"

Kushina laughed loudly and praised him repeatedly. She had enjoyed this fight immensely. She had never imagined that one day, she would get to beat up the Uchiha Clan.

These people were the school's undisputed bullies!

Clap! Clap! Clap!!!

Just as the two were chatting and laughing, a series of claps instantly put them both on guard.

"What a wonderful battle! I never expected the Ninja Academy to have students of such outstanding strength. One person defeating seven Uchiha."

A pale, slender man with a hoarse voice and snake-like pupils slowly walked over.

He clapped as he spoke, his gaze toward Liuyun filled with admiration and curiosity.

This guy is... Orochimaru?

Liuyun was startled. He had not expected the other man to watch the entire battle.

Liuyun had been focused on those Uchiha brats and had failed to notice Orochimaru hiding in the shadows from the start.

At that thought, a cold sweat broke out across his back.

"Lord Orochimaru! Why are you here!"

Kushina cried out in surprise. Clearly, she knew him.

Although the Konoha Sannin had yet to receive their title from Hanzō of the Salamander, they were already extremely famous within the village.

Since Kushina was temporarily staying at the Senju Clan Grounds and had a good relationship with Tsunade, she had naturally met Orochimaru and Jiraiya many times.

"Orochimaru-sama!"

Liuyun first called out Orochimaru's name, then remembered that he was a Jonin and hurriedly added an honorific, just like Kushina had.

Orochimaru did not find it strange that Liuyun recognized him. The Three Ninja often accompanied the Hokage, so there were very few people in Konoha who did not know him.

"..."

The corner of Orochimaru's mouth twitched as his snake-like pupils stared intently at Liuyun.

That "sama" sounded strange. Orochimaru felt that something was a little off, but he couldn't tell what the problem was...

"Your accent is a little strange..."

"..."

Liuyun mischievously thought, A Huaxia accent, but put on a puzzled expression.

"Kushina, it's almost dark. Aren't you going home? Lady Mito should be waiting for you..."

Orochimaru smiled gently at Kushina.

At this point in time, Orochimaru had not yet become poisonous. He treated others with humility and courtesy, possessing the air of a gentleman that naturally made people like him.

He was deeply trusted and valued by the Third Hokage at the time. Even Jiraiya and Tsunade could not compare to him.

"Ah... right, right, right! I need to go back now!"

Kushina looked up at the setting sun. She knew it was getting late, and Grandma Mito must be worried.

"Liuyun, Lord Orochimaru, I'll be leaving first..."

Kushina looked at Liuyun with a faint blush on her pretty face, then waved goodbye to them both.

"Mm-hmm, go on. I should head home too!" Liuyun smiled.

The two watched Kushina's departing figure, but neither of them left immediately.

"You... what is your name?"

"Reporting to Lord Orochimaru, my name is Uchiha Liuyun!"

Liuyun bowed his head, trying his best not to look into Orochimaru's cold, snake-like eyes.
