You Actually Put Poison In The Blood!

Uchiha versus Hyuga.

Right from the start, it was the main event. It seemed the village wanted to use these two, who were the most outstanding besides Kakashi and Might Guy, to set an example for the others.

In the distance, some individuals sent by the village higher-ups were already observing.

"A clash between the two great Dojutsu clans?"

"The Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan both claim to be Konoha's foremost noble clan. This battle is going to be interesting."

"Most members of these two great clans are currently fighting the Kirigakure, tying them down for the village. We can only hope their descendants are equally talented."

These people silently watched the battle.

They were all burdened with important tasks: evaluating the overall standard of this year's class and determining if they could be sent to the battlefield.

The war on the front lines was becoming increasingly strained, and even Konoha, with its massive size, was finding it somewhat overwhelming.

"Hmm? Sharingan!"

Soon, they were greatly astonished!

A ten-year-old girl had actually awakened the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai?!

This kind of talent...

"Well, this is truly remarkable. I thought this generation of Uchiha clan members wouldn't produce any true geniuses. I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise."

The person in charge nodded slightly, feeling satisfied.

"Lord Shibi, should we report this to the Hokage? A child like this is definitely worth focusing on," an Anbu member wearing a mask said in a low voice.

"No, wait a bit longer. At least wait until everyone in this class has finished their matches. I will submit a detailed report to the Hokage then."

Aburame Shibi's face was shrouded by his large hood as he spoke in a deep voice.

Uchiha Ichie's Sharingan caused a significant stir.

Awakening it at age ten was certainly enough to be called a genius. After all, many Uchiha clan members could never awaken it their entire lives.

Originally, the oddity that was Obito had somewhat shamed the Uchiha Clan, but now Ichie's Dojutsu Awakening directly shattered all the rumors and gossip.

The Uchiha Clan was still the Uchiha Clan, producing geniuses one after another!!

"It's the Sharingan... but I won't lose. My Byakugan is just as strong!"

Hyuga Iroha was also surprised. He suppressed his inner unease and said seriously.

Everyone knew that an Uchiha clan member with the Sharingan and one without it were like two different people.

Ichie immediately formed hand signs.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Her first move was the Uchiha Clan's signature Ninjutsu!

This was even more astonishing.

A fireball comparable to the size of a person roared as it flew towards Iroha. The fiercely burning flames illuminated everything.

In that flash of lightning, Ichie, out of the corner of her eye, instantly glanced at a certain person watching from the side, then subtly shifted her gaze away.

"..."

Gen'ichi's face showed surprise and admiration.

This is truly insane. How much did this guy sacrifice in the past year to get stronger? How much Nuclear Radiation did he consume to stimulate his body?

Even these Sharingan seem slightly different, as if they were forcibly induced when things weren't up to standard in various aspects.

He clearly remembered that in the original story, among this generation, the only truly amazing person from the entire Uchiha Clan was the black-hearted Obito, who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan at thirteen.

But now, a ten-year-old Ichie has appeared, who will be Itachi's future sister-in-law. This doesn't align with the original story's progression; the plot has already changed.

Using Nuclear Radiation to induce a Kekkei Genkai? While Ichie is certainly a one-in-ten-thousand anomaly, and it's good she didn't die violently, this subject is not without research value... Who knows what role Chakra, this all-purpose energy that connects spirit and matter, plays in the process... The Divine Tree lineage and the Otsutsuki lineage...

Gen'ichi thought silently.

At this moment.

In the arena, the clash between the two also drew gasps of surprise, opening many people's eyes.

The competition between the perceptive Sharingan and the penetrative Byakugan, at the current level of these students, was truly somewhat ahead of its time.

Ultimately, Ichie used the Uchiha Clan's Shurikenjutsu to force Iroha to retreat repeatedly. Ichie then seized an opportunity, kicked him flying, and he was defeated on the spot.

"Damn it, if only I could have hit your body..." Iroha looked unwilling. His Gentle Fist had no room to be used. Even in close combat, Ichie dodged his every move.

"The wails of the weak."

The two formed the hand sign of reconciliation.

Ichie glanced at Iroha, speaking heartbreaking words in a gentle tone, then walked off the stage.

She walked up to Gen'ichi, paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, then very naturally stood behind him.

The matches continued.

After the battle between Ichie and Iroha, the subsequent matches felt significantly less exciting.

Round after round, the pathetic displays of incompetence were unbearable to watch.

"Looks like this year's group is nothing special."

"Most of the standouts are from the major Ninja Clans."

"Sending these people to the battlefield... if they run into an enemy squad, I'm afraid they'll suffer heavy casualties, except for Ichie and Iroha."

"But the other villages have already started sending rookies into the war. We've already pushed it to the limit by waiting this long to do the same."

The many people observing the matches conversed in low voices.

Many were already preparing to leave.

"Wait a moment, there's still one guy who's quite interesting..."

Aburame Shibi said calmly.

"Next match, Mitarashi Anko versus Shiranui Gen'ichi!"

Soon, the two walked onto the arena.

"So it's you, the pathetic weakling in real combat... you're really unlucky to be my opponent."

Anko crossed her arms, looking at Gen'ichi with a strange expression.

"What are you talking about? And you're not from our year group, are you? Is it okay to challenge a senior so eagerly?"

"Heh, so you didn't know at all. Well, that's not surprising, it's not public news yet... I was just recently accepted as a disciple by Lord Orochimaru. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to participate in the assessment?"

Anko wore a strange smile, her face practically screaming, "Hurry up and praise me!"

At this moment, the surrounding people were all shocked, staring at Anko in astonishment.

"Lord Orochimaru?! Anko actually became a disciple of one of the Sannin! Damn, I want that too!"

"What right does she have? I'm not any worse than her!"

Many people's eyes showed envy, jealousy, and hatred, their gazes turning red.

That was Lord Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, a Kage-level Expert!

Even the class instructors' expressions changed, and their gazes towards Anko held a touch more respect.

As a disciple of one of the Sannin, Anko would definitely become an excellent ninja who could protect the village in the future.

At this moment, Anko stuck out her tongue and licked her lips—a gesture she had learned from Lord Orochimaru.

Anko felt it was necessary to emulate Lord Orochimaru in every way, even in her speech and behavior.

"Is that so? That's amazing..."

Gen'ichi wore a look of astonishment.

Anko sneered. For some reason, she felt inexplicably annoyed. She suddenly pulled out a kunai and lunged forward, slashing fiercely across Gen'ichi's face!

Slash!

The bandage was cut, a trace of blood appeared on his face, and a large amount of blood spilled out, staining the kunai.

"You didn't even run? What a pathetic guy, you couldn't even keep up with my speed. Also, let me tell you something else."

Anko gave an evil, charming smile. Under Gen'ichi's suddenly changing expression, she stuck out her tongue and pretended to greedily and intoxicatingly lick the blood from the kunai.

Gen'ichi weakly reached out, but it was too late to stop this bizarre move.

"Ah, I just love drinking fresh blood... Huh? Huh? Huh?"

Anko swallowed Gen'ichi's blood in one gulp. Before she could even savor it, she suddenly froze.

The next moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, she threw up with a loud retch!!

Her face was full of disbelief as she tremblingly pointed a finger.

"Despicable! You actually poisoned your blood!!!"
