Single Tomoe Unleashed in Anger

On the other side of the training ground, Kurenai looked at Asuma with a strange gaze. "You said that guy's strength isn't weaker than yours, and he was instantly killed by Soseki... so, Soseki usually goes easy on you during fights, right?"

Asuma's face flushed with annoyance as he retorted, "How was I supposed to know that guy would be so idiotic, not even guarding against Soseki's Illusion Arts!"

Shizune weakly chimed in, "Soseki-kun is a Medical Ninja. It's pretty normal for the opponent not to be careful about Illusion Arts, right?"

Asuma and Kurenai exchanged a glance and chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, isn't it common sense to be wary of a Medical Ninja's Illusion Arts?"

Everyone waiting to watch the show from the upper floors of the teaching building had dark lines on their faces. Is this guy really not here to be funny?

"So boring, it's already over?"

"Are they putting on a show for us?"

"For someone from the Uchiha Clan, to be instantly killed by a normal person with Illusion Arts."

"Exactly, he couldn't even beat a normal person... Wait, you call this a normal person?"

Several delinquent third-year students mixed in the crowd looked relieved and fearful.

"Thankfully, we didn't follow Big Brother Shūnen's foolishness. That first-year kid is simply a monster among monsters!"

"Yeah, Big Brother Shūnen's strength is so great, yet he was instantly killed by a single Illusion Arts!"

"You guys still call him 'Big Brother'! If you ask me, it's better to distance ourselves from this idiot who only causes trouble for us."

"Mhm, that makes sense."

On the field, Soseki retracted his kunai, smiling gently like a spring breeze. "Classmate Shūnen, don't forget your promise. Let's go back to class, or we'll be late."

"Go back... to class..." Seeing Soseki's nonchalant expression, as if he didn't take the fight seriously at all, coupled with the constant jeers and mockery from the surroundings, Shūnen's eyes suddenly became covered in a bloody mist.

"You bastard, don't look down on people!"

"Is that... a Single Tomoe? Even if it's just one eye, it's still an incredible achievement!" Seeing the single tomoe constantly rotating in Shūnen's scarlet pupils, Soseki was genuinely surprised.

Excluding a few unreasonably talented individuals, awakening the Sharingan at the age of eight, even with just one eye, was definitely considered genius.

One had to know that Uchiha Sasuke, whose talent was considered by many to surpass even Itachi, only managed to awaken a Single Tomoe under the stimulation of his clan's massacre.

As expected, the more severe the illness, the greater the talent... Soseki mused inwardly for a moment, then chuckled lightly, "Classmate Shūnen, is there anything else?"

Seeing Soseki's relaxed and calm demeanor, Shūnen belatedly remembered that he had already lost.

Even if his strength broke through now, there was no reason for the other party to fight him again.

This is so frustrating!

Shūnen looked aggrieved and depressed. His peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of those subordinates who had claimed to go shopping for discounted toilet paper but were instead mixed in the crowd watching his humiliation. Annoyed, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

"Shimizu Soseki, I will apologize to your classmate and those I've bullied in the past as promised. But, do you want to expand this bet further?"

Soseki hesitated for a moment, then asked as if he had made up his mind, "How do you want to expand the bet?"

This guy is really easy to fool. He saw me awaken the Sharingan, but when I provoked him, he couldn't help but take the bait. Shūnen chuckled inwardly, a sense of intellectual superiority inexplicably rising within him.

"Let's have another match. As long as you win..." Shūnen said, then suddenly gritted his teeth. "No, regardless of whether I win or lose this round, I will grab my 'companions' and go apologize to your classmate and those we bullied before."

Hearing their conversation, the surrounding onlookers finally understood why Soseki was fighting.

"Wow! This first-year is standing up for us!"

"This is so touching, even though he doesn't know us."

"I don't care anymore, I'll fail, I'll repeat the grade, I'll wait to join them!"

For a moment, almost everyone developed a good impression of this first-year "little sun."

As for the delinquents mixed in the crowd watching the show, they were so angry they could have vomited blood. Their idiot leader had just sold them out like that!

Soseki thought for a moment and then seriously nodded, "Since it's for everyone, I'll have to skip class this once!"

Shūnen almost exploded. He thought the other party was worried about losing too badly, but it turned out he was agonizing over such a trivial matter. Thinking of this, he almost roared in front of Soseki, "I've awakened the Sharingan now, can you show me some respect?"

But considering his "cool and aloof strong person" persona, he suppressed his anger and said, "You better be ready, I'm coming!"

Saying that, he reached his right hand into the tool bag at his waist.

But for some reason, at this moment, he inexplicably remembered the scene he saw in the Illusion Arts, and his right hand in the tool bag subconsciously reached for a shuriken.

Whoosh—Shadow Shuriken Technique!

Facing the flurry of shuriken raining down like a storm, Soseki calmly threw out all the shuriken he had prepared, and then, with unparalleled precision, shot down each of the shuriken Shūnen had thrown.

"He actually knocked down my shuriken using only shuriken. Even I, with the Sharingan, can't achieve such precise control!" Shūnen couldn't help but widen his eyes. He knew the difficulty of this maneuver. "However, hidden in the blind spot..."

Clink— The last shuriken also fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Shūnen's eyes went blank. "Heh heh, dreams are just dreams."

At this moment, the sound of whistling air suddenly echoed in his ears.

"Damn it, I forgot about his Chakra Threads!" Shūnen instinctively dodged to the left, then, taking advantage of the shuriken's rotation in the air, he hurriedly pulled out a kunai from his tool bag to block.

"Wait, this speed..." The tomoe in Shūnen's right eye spun rapidly. He swung his arm, and surprisingly, he easily deflected Soseki's entire wave of attacks.

"Too slow, no, it's slowed down by my Sharingan!" Shūnen was ecstatic. So, this is the true reliance of the Uchiha that made them famous throughout the ninja world?

The crowd, who had been shocked by Soseki's incredibly precise shuriken skills, had their perceptions once again refreshed by Shūnen.

"So amazing, is this the Sharingan?"

"He was instantly killed by Shimizu Soseki's Illusion Arts before, but after awakening the Sharingan, he can actually suppress the opponent!"

"This is practically cheating!"

"There's no helping it, this is the foundation of the prestigious Uchiha Clan!"
