Taijutsu Master

"Ye Fan, you..."

Naruto's eyes were filled with worry. Sasuke was a well-known genius, a prodigy who inherited the Sharingan.

As for Ye Fan, despite being a descendant of the Uchiha clan, he was an "anomaly" without any Kekkei Genkai. What could he possibly use to fight Sasuke?

Wasn't this just asking to get beaten up?

Moreover, judging by Sasuke's stance, he wasn't joking; he genuinely wanted to kill Ye Fan!

"Naruto, don't worry. A mere Sasuke, I can crush him with just one finger."

"Today, I'll teach this foolish younger brother a good lesson and make him lay low from now on!"

"Ye Fan! Die! You plague god, you don't deserve to be related to me, you don't deserve to be an Uchiha!"

Sasuke didn't waste any words with Ye Fan and charged at him at top speed.

The hatred that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time completely consumed him at this moment.

He just wanted to kill Ye Fan, avenge his parents, and avenge his clan!

"Heh heh."

To Ye Fan, Sasuke's movements were simply too slow.

Sasuke's attack methods were also full of openings in his eyes.

Ye Fan was confident that he had at least a thousand ways to kill a Sasuke like this!

Sasuke swung a whip kick towards Ye Fan's head. Ye Fan slightly shifted his body, easily dodging it.

Then, Ye Fan lightly tapped Sasuke's waist, sending him flying three to four meters away.

"Your speed is too slow, your strength is too weak, and your attack methods are too simplistic!"

Ye Fan shook his head. Facing Sasuke now was a complete dimensional crush!

When Ye Fan was just over three years old, he could escape from Uchiha Itachi, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan. Let alone now, facing a Sasuke with only a Two-Tomoe Sharingan!

Sasuke abruptly retreated four to five meters, staring at Ye Fan with a heavy expression.

Ye Fan's seemingly casual tap had almost made him lose consciousness, and he still felt a dull ache.

"Why is his speed so fast? Even my Sharingan couldn't capture his movements!"

Sasuke was extremely shocked. He sensed a dangerous aura from Ye Fan, just like when he faced Itachi!

"Sasuke, are you alright!"

Sakura called out worriedly. She hadn't seen how Ye Fan had attacked at all.

By the time she reacted, Sasuke had already been sent flying!

"Ye Fan, how... how did you become so strong? I remember you couldn't even condense Chakra?"

"Could it be... could it be that you're relying solely on physical strength?!"

Naruto exclaimed in surprise. He hadn't expected that Sasuke, hailed as Konoha's genius, would be so easily repelled by Ye Fan!

"Taijutsu Master!"

Upon seeing Ye Fan dodge the attack, Rock Lee's mind immediately conjured these four words.

As a ninja who also practiced taijutsu, he naturally understood how difficult Ye Fan's seemingly casual movement was!

"Ye Fan has no Kekkei Genkai and cannot condense Chakra, so he chose the most difficult path of taijutsu!"

"It seems he has also endured many unbearable hardships!"

Rock Lee admired Ye Fan. This was something only those who practiced taijutsu together could understand.

Sasuke, who had been mocked, had a dark expression.

His pride would not allow him to be mocked by Ye Fan, this plague god of the Uchiha clan!

Sasuke scanned his surroundings, predicting all possible ways Ye Fan might attack.

Without any hesitation, he charged at Ye Fan once more!

Just then, Rock Lee, moving at extreme speed, blocked Sasuke's path.

"Sasuke, your opponent is me!"

Rock Lee had chosen to challenge Sasuke here precisely to show off in front of Sakura. He wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity.

"Get lost!"

Sasuke was already annoyed, and seeing Rock Lee blocking his way only made him more displeased.

Sasuke clenched his right fist and swung it towards Rock Lee's head, intending to defeat him in the shortest possible time.

Facing Sasuke's tricky attack, Rock Lee was unfazed and unleashed a side kick.

He had practiced this move countless times; he only remembered that he had kicked dozens of wooden dummies to pieces.

Crack!

Rock Lee's kick landed on Sasuke's jaw, sending him tumbling to the ground!

"Sasuke!"

Sakura immediately ran towards him upon seeing this, but then slowly stopped, frozen in place.

Sasuke's eyes filled her with fear.

Having been together for so long, this was the first time Sakura had ever seen Sasuke like this.

The coldness in his gaze, the pervasive killing intent, were completely different from his usual self.

At this moment, Sasuke seemed like a completely different person!

"Rock Lee!"

"Ye Fan!"

Sasuke wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face grim, glaring intently at the two of them.

Being sent flying one after another made him extremely angry.

Proud as he was, he wouldn't allow himself to fail like this, he couldn't accept himself like this!

"Sasuke, you can't possibly be my opponent."

Rock Lee struck a pose he thought was very cool and said calmly.

While speaking, he didn't forget to sneak glances at Sakura, wanting to see if she was captivated by his handsomeness.

Seeing Rock Lee fighting Sasuke, Ye Fan was happy to have some free time. He took out two handfuls of melon seeds and started cracking them, looking like he was just watching a show.

Not only was he not angry about Rock Lee's intervention, he was actually a little happy.

If Rock Lee hadn't intervened, Ye Fan felt his own fight would have been incredibly frustrating.

He worried that if he wasn't careful, he might actually kill Sasuke!

"Heh, can't possibly be my opponent?"

"A good-for-nothing who can't train, yet you dare to think you can defeat me, who possesses the Sharingan!"

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

A flame erupted from his mouth, carrying the power of his rage!

"Not being able to train ninjutsu doesn't mean I can't become an excellent ninja."

"Sasuke, this is where it ends!"

Rock Lee dodged the flame, quickly circled behind Sasuke, and unleashed the ultimate move, Front Lotus!

The bandages wrapped around his hands quickly fell, enveloping Sasuke, as if he was about to be bound.

Just as the bandages were about to completely bind Sasuke, a red turtle appeared out of nowhere, breaking the bandages and separating the two of them.

Immediately after, Might Guy, wearing the same outfit as Rock Lee, appeared with a rather exaggerated pose.

"How can you casually attack a comrade, you idiot!"

Might Guy yelled, punching Rock Lee in the face, leaving him bruised and swollen.

"Teacher Guy, I just wanted to challenge the genius boy who inherited the Uchiha clan's abilities. I want to prove that even without a Kekkei Genkai, I can be an excellent ninja!"

Rock Lee, with a bruised and swollen face and tears in his eyes, looked at Might Guy affectionately.

"You, who cannot train ninjutsu, still fearlessly challenged the genius boy Sasuke."

Might Guy was deeply moved and looked back at Rock Lee just as affectionately, tears welling up in his eyes.

The master and disciple exchanged a look and embraced: "Yes, this is youth!"

Huh???

The change in Might Guy and Rock Lee's attitudes left the Chunin bewildered and helpless.

They had no idea what was going on, and what kind of bizarre people these were!

Naruto, however, was different. He was shocked, having not expected Rock Lee to defeat Sasuke so easily!

Ye Fan looked at Might Guy's sudden appearance and chuckled.

Who would have thought that this person, who didn't seem very serious, would be a master who almost crippled Madara Uchiha with a single kick?

Ye Fan glanced at Sasuke, his heart unmoved. He didn't have the energy to explain to anyone that he wasn't the Plague God.

He never cared what others thought of him.

"Naruto, the Chunin Exam is about to start, let's go."

Ye Fan patted Naruto's shoulder and headed towards the Chunin Exam registration area.

"Hmm? That kid, why does he look so familiar?"

"Teacher Guy, that's Uchiha Ye Fan, a Taijutsu Master!"

"Uchiha Ye Fan?!"

"He's still alive! And he's a Taijutsu Master!"

Might Guy was incredibly surprised. Looking at Ye Fan's retreating back, he suddenly felt that this Chunin Exam would be different from previous ones, and much more interesting.
