Don't Use That Jutsu, Gen'ichi-san

Fūjin and Raijin were infamous throughout the Village.

These two simple-minded villains were Lord Tsunade's subordinates. All they cared about was eating, eating, and more eating. Everything else was secondary.

Things like the Village or comrades meant nothing to them compared to food.

Their indifferent morals, cold beliefs, and cruel methods made their notoriety known throughout the entire Village.

"We can't possibly be a match for those two! What should we do?!"

"They say when the White-Eyed Brothers go berserk, even Jonin get headaches. Only Lord Tsunade can stop them!"

Many people's faces turned pale, and some immediately began emergency evacuations of all the teachers and students in the school.

Some ninjas rushed forward, but it was like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot – utterly futile. Their attacks couldn't even leave a scratch on these tough-skinned brutes.

The Ninja Academy was also in chaos.

Students of all grades were slightly panicked. They could only hear intense roars and see dust rising from outside, but they didn't know what was happening.

"Are enemies attacking?"

"No matter which village they're from, they're dead! How dare they infiltrate Konoha!"

Many people, under the guidance of their teachers, prepared to hide in the emergency shelters.

Fūjin and Raijin's charge was too fierce. They crashed through the wall and into the school. This momentum would definitely trample a lot of people to death.

"Quick, dodge!"

Teacher Yoshino Masada's face turned pale with fright. Some of his students were directly in their path.

"I'll use Genjutsu to interfere with them!"

Sharingan!

Uchiha Ichie immediately activated her Sharingan, attempting to use Genjutsu to stop the White-Eyed Brothers.

"It's useless. Those two won't even give you a second glance."

Gen'ichi's expression darkened.

His location was now less than a hundred meters away from the rampaging Fūjin and Raijin.

"Brother, I smell food."

"That's right, brother, I smell it too. This Village is awful. They have so much food but won't give it to us. Then we'll just take it ourselves."

Fūjin and Raijin had sinister looks on their faces. There was no room for living people in their eyes, only food.

Thump, thump, thump!

It looked like some people were about to be trampled to death.

Might Duy was about to rush over to protect Gen'ichi, but he was instantly swatted away by Fūjin.

"You guys get out of here! I'll buy you time!"

Yoshino Masada, with a determined look, pulled out a Kunai and roared as he charged towards Fūjin and Raijin.

Swish, swish, swish! A flurry of Kunai and Shuriken were thrown, but they couldn't even scratch the skin of the two opponents.

It looked like Yoshino Masada was about to be beaten to death.

"Honestly, Sensei, if your strength isn't enough, don't just rush in blindly. You can't block them with your strength..."

Gen'ichi began to quietly form Hand Signs.

In the blink of an eye, Ichie looked with her Sharingan. Her powerful insight instantly captured all of Gen'ichi's Hand Signs.

Tiger, Ox, Rabbit.

"Fire, Lightning, Water?! What kind of jutsu is this?" Ichie's heart leaped. Although extremely confused, she saw Gen'ichi's calm face, without the slightest hint of panic.

At a time like this, he still had confidence in turning things around?

Gen'ichi, just what are you...

The next moment, Ichie was greatly startled!

Terrifying high temperatures erupted, like molten lava appearing in an instant. In less than a second, the temperature in the nearby area increased by dozens of degrees. It looked like it would continue to rise at an even more astonishing speed!

The massive cell clusters within Gen'ichi's body surged wildly, releasing a terrifying amount of life force.

In the view of the Sharingan, Gen'ichi himself had turned into a burning volcano. The Chakra that erupted within him in an instant was like endlessly surging lava, roaring and surging through his body's meridians.

This time, Gen'ichi was serious. He was willing to pay a certain price to use that jutsu.

"Nuclear Release: White Heat..."

But the next moment, a figure arrived with astonishing speed that even the One-Tomoe Sharingan couldn't capture. First, he kicked Yoshino Masada away, preventing him from being smashed into a pulp by the White-Eyed Brothers' punch. Then, he landed beside Gen'ichi, extended a hand, and firmly grabbed Gen'ichi's hands.

Sizzle!

The terrifying high temperature instantly burned the person's palm, causing smoke to rise and giving off the smell of roasted meat.

"Don't use that jutsu, Gen'ichi-san. It hasn't come to that yet."

Might Duy, who had rushed over, had a serious expression. "Now is my time to burn my youth."

"Mr. Duy," Gen'ichi said with a slight smile, shaking his head.

Using the Eight Gates in this situation felt a bit wasteful.

Someone like Might Duy should be utilized to his fullest potential.

Just then, the White-Eyed Brothers charged forward.

But for some reason, they suddenly slammed on the brakes, their thick thighs digging into the ground.

Dust billowed.

Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads.

"Brother, I shivered."

"Yeah, me too... If we had kept charging, something terrible might have happened."

"This feeling is just like when we're around Big Sister."

Fūjin and Raijin stood frozen in place.

At that moment...

Binding Snake Glare Spell!

Three Anbu members in white robes appeared and immediately restrained the White-Eyed Brothers.

"Looks like we made it in time. The Binding Snake Glare Spell really is effective against these two... Are you all right? We've got these two under control."

One of the Anbu spoke calmly.

Then, he let out a slight sound of surprise, realizing the temperature around them felt off.

Finally, their eyes landed on Might Duy's severely burned hand.

"Something interesting seems to have happened..."

Another Anbu said flatly, their eyes behind the mask carefully observing the group.

"Thank you for arriving just in time! I'm incredibly grateful!" Might Duy immediately bowed.

"You're welcome, as long as you're all right," the three Anbu simply noted the incident mentally and didn't ask further questions.

Anbu members were emotionless tools for missions. Analyzing things outside the mission scope was the job of the Village's Intelligence Division and the Elder Council.

Soon, the three Anbu escorted the White-Eyed Brothers away. These two who attacked their comrades would face severe punishment.

"The Village is really useless, letting guys they know are unreliable act freely..."

Ichie was silent for a moment before speaking with extreme dissatisfaction.

As for the intense heat that erupted for a split second just now, and the unspeakable terror that seemed about to happen but didn't... Ichie didn't ask about it for now.

However, Gen'ichi felt even more off to her, and Might Duy, could this Eternal Genin also possess strength capable of fighting the White-Eyed Brothers...?

"The Village has its own difficulties, please don't say that," Might Duy bowed to Ichie again.

Might Duy always maintained a humble demeanor towards others.

A crisis that erupted out of nowhere ended just like that.

Many people only saw that Gen'ichi and the others were almost taken down, fortunately, three elite Anbu arrived in time and stopped the White-Eyed Brothers with the Binding Snake Glare Spell.

Aside from Obito, who was practically scared to tears and gained a clearer understanding of his own powerlessness, it seemed no worse consequences were triggered.

"The White-Eyed Brothers... I remember these two were completely abandoned and imprisoned by the Village because they killed their comrades during a mission to get more food."

Gen'ichi mused.

Fūjin and Raijin, two incredibly strong idiots, fought with The Prince in the original story and were even tricked into defecting by Mizuki. After getting yelled at by Tsunade, they obediently ran back to Konoha Prison.

And now, it seemed these brothers hadn't reached the point of killing their comrades yet and were still considered Village shinobi.

After a while, the school announced an early dismissal, and the shaken people hurried out of the school.

Gen'ichi also walked with his hands in his pockets, as usual, waiting for everyone else to leave before he did.

"That jutsu you used just now... what was it?"

Just as Gen'ichi was the last to walk out, Ichie was leaning against the wall, arms crossed, and asked.

"Oh, that jutsu? Just some little trick."

"A little trick that can cause that level of damage to a shinobi's hand?"

"It really is a little trick, believe me."

He wasn't lying. Compared to his ultimate move, Atomic Breath, what was a mere White Heat Ray that started at ten thousand degrees Celsius...?

The two walked out of the school and, with unspoken agreement, headed directly into the small forest outside the Village.

"Since you chose to come find me, I assume you've made up your mind, Ichie," Gen'ichi said with a faint smile.

"Gen'ichi-san, although I don't know how you did it, I desperately need that power... Please teach it to me. In return, I will definitely work myself to death for the Village."

Ichie lowered her head and requested the power that could intensely stimulate her body.

"If I don't give it to you, will you choose to kill me?" Gen'ichi looked at her meaningfully.

"If I hadn't experienced what happened earlier today and didn't know Gen'ichi-san was hiding even greater power, maybe I really would have done it..."

"But now, I'm willing to pay the price to obtain Gen'ichi-san's power."

Ichie struggled internally for a moment, but she had tasted the feeling of shattering her mediocre destiny and absolutely could not tolerate returning to her former average self.

Immediately, she knelt down and performed the most respectful and highest form of bow towards Gen'ichi.

"This world is just that cruel. Geniuses receive all the attention. If you want to become stronger, I can help you, but... I need you to become a sharp blade wielded solely by me. That's fair."

Gen'ichi said calmly, "Besides, there's something you seem to have misunderstood. The Village and so on... Your desperate efforts to help me are helping the Village."

Ichie's body trembled. Realizing the deeper meaning behind his words, a look of profound shock appeared on her face!

"Is there a problem? Of course, you can go back on your word. Maybe you really can kill me... I don't mind, you know. But if you truly take that step, it means there's no turning back."

"No, you've misunderstood. I just suddenly feel that Gen'ichi-san is truly a terrifying person... When did you learn to hide yourself? Or rather, have you always been this way?"
