Uchiha Akihime

Flower Viewing Maple left the Hyuga Clan's outer training grounds with a distracted look, and even after returning home, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep...

At midnight, a small figure leaped and darted through the Death Forest like a nimble monkey. Upon reaching a certain location, she stopped and landed on the ground, gazing at the figure only ten meters away.

"I didn't expect you to come so early. It seems that even if you don't say it, you actually care a lot about our duel, right?"

The little loli with long, straight black hair and ink-black eyes spoke, surprised but also guessing why Yuzuru had come here. He must have come to the Death Forest early to scout the area, so as to gain a terrain advantage in the upcoming battle... Isn't this obviously wary of her, Uchiha Akihime?

"..."

Yuzuru remained silent. He didn't know where this little Uchiha girl, Akihime, got her sense of superiority from, to actually have such thoughts. Did she not remember the crushing defeat from a year ago?

Around the age of five, Akihime, having heard of Yuzuru's reputation as the Hyuga's strongest genius, had secretly challenged him. Unfortunately, she was easily defeated in less than a round, and quite embarrassingly at that... This led to Akihime's goal and dream from that moment on being to defeat Yuzuru and reclaim the Uchiha's glory and dignity!

"Alright, then let me show you my year of hard training! It will definitely surprise you!"

Akihime looked at the silent Yuzuru, becoming even more convinced of her guess, and declared war on Yuzuru with surging fighting spirit.

"Alright, let me see what growth the Uchiha's genius of this generation has made."

Yuzuru said, his tone very calm.

"Take this!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Akihime shouted sweetly, then formed hand seals. Chakra was gathered in her mouth, her chest slightly puffed out. The next second, as her chest compressed, a huge fireball was spat out from her mouth, heading straight for Yuzuru in front.

Upon seeing this, Yuzuru's expression didn't change, and he didn't show any intention of dodging, as if he was frightened silly by Akihime's ninjutsu.

Most of the students in the ninja academy were still at the stage of learning to refine chakra, but Akihime had already reached the strength to release C-rank ninjutsu, showing how freakish her ninjutsu talent was.

The huge fireball landed in front of Yuzuru, then exploded with a bang, like fireworks erupting in the night. The heatwave spread violently in all directions, causing Akihime to immediately cover her face with her hands, blocking the incoming heat and dust.

"Did it hit?"

Waiting for the heatwave to dissipate, Akihime trotted to the position where Yuzuru had been standing earlier. Apart from a patch of scorched earth, she couldn't see Yuzuru's figure at all.

"The ninjutsu is not bad, but the speed is too slow."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind Akihime, scaring her into a cold sweat. When she turned around to look behind her, she still couldn't see Yuzuru.

"What's the point of strong ninjutsu? Any ninjutsu that doesn't hit the target is undoubtedly a waste of chakra..."

Yuzuru's voice sounded again behind Akihime, followed by a kick to Akihime's butt, causing her to have a close encounter with the ground, lying on the ground like a toad.

"Pui, pui, pui!"

Akihime spat out the dirt and weeds in her mouth, then turned her head and looked at Yuzuru with a look of shame and annoyance, and asked very unwillingly: "How can your Body Flicker Technique be so fast!"

A year ago, Akihime could still see the afterimages of Yuzuru using the Body Flicker Technique, but she didn't expect that after a year of hard training, she couldn't even see the afterimages of Yuzuru's Body Flicker Technique.

"Don't think that you can catch up with me after a year of hard training. Even if you are the Uchiha's genius, if you want to catch up with me... you are still thousands of years too early!"

Yuzuru slowly walked towards Akihime, using words to shatter Akihime's arrogance, while also establishing his mysterious strength and invincible persona.

"Damn it!"

Akihime clenched her fists with both hands, then slammed them heavily on the ground. Yuzuru's words undoubtedly touched her heart, causing her proud heart to suddenly crack, and the thoughts of 'So I'm so weak', 'Yuzuru is the real genius of the world', 'Why do I have to be in the same generation as Yuzuru' arose in her heart.

"Is this the Uchiha's genius? Just suffered one or two setbacks, and you want to give up your dreams and goals? Didn't you say you wanted to defeat me? Why are you still lying there like a toad?"

Yuzuru looked at Akihime, whose emotions had already begun to be a little depressed, and immediately began to provoke her.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Akihime heard Yuzuru's words, and immediately roared at him in exasperation, then immediately got up from the ground, quickly formed hand seals, and all the remaining chakra in her body poured into her mouth again, and then turned into a huge fireball and rushed towards Yuzuru.

Upon seeing this, Yuzuru didn't dodge immediately, but just used the afterglow of the fireball to see the change in Akihime's eyes. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and at the moment when the huge fireball approached, he directly dodged with the Body Flicker Technique, and when he reappeared, he landed in front of Akihime.

"As expected of the Uchiha's genius, you've awakened it."

Yuzuru approached Akihime's face, his Byakugan, with a flash of sapphire blue light in his eyes, was in the activated state. While concentrating on observing Akihime's Two-Tomoe Sharingan, he praised Akihime in a teasing tone.

"Wh... what?"

Akihime looked at Yuzuru, who was almost close to her face. The anger and annoyance on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an indescribable shyness. She stood there as stiff and wooden as a puppet, not daring to move at all.

After a moment, Yuzuru slowly backed away from Akihime, and then noticed the strangeness on Akihime's face, but he didn't say anything more, but took out a mirror from somewhere and handed it to her.

Akihime blankly took the mirror, and then looked at Yuzuru, not knowing why.

"Look at your eyes."

Yuzuru pointed to Akihime's eyes and said.

Akihime picked up the mirror and saw the conspicuous scarlet color in her eye sockets from the mirror...

"...I awakened it!"

Akihime shouted excitedly. At the young age of six, she not only awakened the Sharingan, but also skipped the primary form of One-Tomoe, appearing in her eye sockets in the form of Two-Tomoe. In the past Uchiha history, no one had ever awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan at her age. This was enough to show how terrifying her talent was, belonging to the kind of one in a hundred... or even one in a thousand genius monsters!

"Indeed, they are good eyes."

Yuzuru suddenly spoke from the side, causing Akihime's voice in excitement to stop abruptly. A pair of scarlet eyes exuded a palpitating light in the night. She stared at Yuzuru, who had activated Byakugan. With her confidence regained and full of confidence, she immediately opened her mouth proudly: "I have awakened the Sharingan. Any Body Flicker Technique will be invisible in front of these Sharingan eyes!"

"Idiot."

Yuzuru looked at Akihime, who had regained her confidence because of awakening the Sharingan. He just shook his head slightly and said this sentence, which immediately made Akihime annoyed and lost the calmness that a ninja should have.

"Damn it, I will make you pay the price for underestimating my eyes!"

Akihime said angrily to Yuzuru, and then rushed towards Yuzuru again
