Will You Show Me Your Eyes Again? I've Already Seen Through You!

A ten-year-old with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan—looking through the history of the Uchiha Clan, there had never been anyone who awakened their eyes like this.

If word got out, it would not only shock the entire Uchiha Clan; even all of Konoha would probably be shaken to its core.

The Three-Tomoe Sharingan was practically standard equipment for Jonin of the Uchiha Clan. If certain "people in power" learned of this, would he have any good days ahead?

Not to mention those research-obsessed freaks like Orochimaru and Danzo—especially that old bastard Danzo—even the other members of the Uchiha Clan might not necessarily wish him well.

"Isn't having a Kekkei Genkai amazing? Why can't other people know about it..." Kushina tilted her head, deeply puzzled.

Liuyun let out a heavy sigh.

"You're still young. You can't see the darkness of this world..."

As he spoke, Liuyun paused slightly. He felt that he should not be telling this girl such things, because she simply could not understand them right now...

"In short, don't mention that I have the Sharingan. Don't tell anyone, no matter who it is... unless you want me dead."

Liuyun deliberately made it sound extremely serious.

"Ah... all right! I'll be careful from now on."

Seeing how serious Liuyun was, Kushina no longer dared to let his words go in one ear and out the other.

After making a series of promises, she seemed to think of something. Staring at Liuyun with expectant wide eyes, she asked:

"Then after school, will you show me your eyes again?"

"..."

"Fine, fine, I'll show you. But from now on, you have to keep your promise..." Liuyun said helplessly.

"Okay!"

Kushina beamed. She did not even understand why she was so happy.

Liuyun did not understand either. He could only assume it was the joy of satisfying a woman's gossiping curiosity.

"Number 18, Kushina Uzumaki."

Soon, the Chunin instructor called Kushina's name.

Kushina stepped up and scored one hit out of five. All five of her thrown weapons landed some distance away from the bullseye.

Her Kunai throwing skills could only be considered average.

"Kushina, total score: 72 points!" The examiner announced her score.

"Next, Number 19, Uchiha Liuyun." The Chunin instructor called Liuyun's name.

"It's Liuyun. This is his specialty."

"Get ready to watch him perform..."

"Go, Liuyun! Get a perfect score!"

Quite a few girls spoke up to cheer him on. He was actually fairly popular in class, especially with girls...

He had a good temperament and was good-looking. His overall popularity in the class was slightly below Minato's, but boys from the Uchiha Clan were generally very popular with girls. In that regard, he had Minato beat by quite a bit.

"Go, Liuyun!"

Kushina waved her tiny pink fist and shouted at the top of her lungs to cheer him on. Her voice was easily the loudest in the entire class...

"..."

Liuyun found it rather amusing. After taking a deep breath, he picked up a Kunai.

At this moment, the target twenty meters away seemed as close as if it were right before his eyes. He could hit it whenever he wanted.

After awakening the Three Tomoe, even without activating the Sharingan, his five senses were many times sharper than those of ordinary people—especially his eyesight!

At this point, let alone a target twenty meters away, even a target a hundred meters away could be hit dead center with ease if he wanted to.

He casually flung the Kunai in his hand. With a whoosh, it struck the target, but landed some distance from the bullseye...

The elementary school students watching the show cried out in surprise. This result was truly unexpected.

To everyone else, that first throw had looked quite ordinary...

The second Kunai flew out and struck the bullseye dead on.

"Nice one!" Kushina shouted excitedly.

"This is Liuyun's real level. He was probably just too nervous on the first throw!" one of the girls explained.

The third Kunai flew out. It did not hit the bullseye, but it was much better than the first one.

After throwing three Kunai, Liuyun directly picked up three Shuriken from the bucket.

He could not be bothered to throw them one at a time.

With a dashing flick of his hand, all three Shuriken flew out at once.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

All three Shuriken hit the target, but not a single one struck the bullseye...

This move was all about looking dashing and cool, and the girls on the field could not help applauding.

Throwing three at once and still hitting the target meant his Throwing Technique already surpassed that of most children his age. It was enough to live up to his identity as a member of the Uchiha Clan.

"Uchiha Liuyun, total score: 90 points!"

The examiner gave him his score. Throwing three Shuriken at once earned him a considerable bonus even though they had not hit the bullseye.

Liuyun seemed somewhat "dissatisfied" with this result. At the same time, someone else was dissatisfied with his score—the Chunin instructor who specialized in teaching Throwing Technique.

This was Liuyun's specialty. He felt that this kid's score should not have been only 90 points.

"Liuyun, what was that? Your Kunai throws shouldn't have been that bad."

Liuyun was slightly taken aback, but then scratched his head and offered an explanation.

"Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night..."

"..."

Not far away, Kushina stared in astonishment when she heard that.

That excuse again? Every time, it was I didn't sleep well??

It was precisely because of those words that Kushina became certain Liuyun was deliberately hiding his abilities!

Though she did not know why he was doing it, her curiosity about this little deskmate of hers grew even stronger.

In just one afternoon, she had unknowingly become drawn to someone.

Of course, it had all begun with one sentence: "Your hair color's okay... Pretty cute, actually!"

"Next is Number 23, Minato Namikaze!"

Before they knew it, it was the future Fourth Hokage's turn.

Minato flicked out his Kunai, and every single one struck the bullseye dead on. Many people applauded vigorously and cheered loudly.

Receiving the praise of the entire crowd, Minato could not help revealing a sunshine-like smile.

But when the corner of his eye caught sight of a certain red-haired figure, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Kushina did not seem to have even glanced at him...

"Tell me honestly, did you deliberately mess up your test just now?" Kushina muttered quietly beside Liuyun.

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Is 90 points not high enough? You got 72 and that doesn't count as messing up, so does my 90 count as messing up?"

Liuyun kept both hands in his pockets, deliberately ignoring her.

"..."

Kushina was left speechless. For a moment, she felt that what Liuyun said seemed to make a lot of sense.

"No, that's not right!"

As if she had thought of something, she suddenly denied her own conclusion again.

"The tone and attitude of your first sentence were exactly the same as when you lied before. You... you're playing dumb again!"

As Kushina spoke, she grabbed Liuyun by the collar, looking smug as though she had already seen through him.

"!!!"

Liuyun's body jolted as he stared in shock at the smug little girl before him.

Why did he get caught every single time he played dumb?
