Face-Slapping

Shiyu effortlessly copied the technique and unleashed it.

"Impossible!" Uchiha Wei had never imagined that Shiyu would learn his trump-card technique in an instant.

Shiyu gathered chakra in his throat as well, then unleashed it in one powerful burst. A colossal fireball, even more powerful and larger than Uchiha Wei's, hurtled toward him.

The two fireballs finally collided, each canceling out a considerable portion of the other's force.

But in the end, Uchiha Wei's fireball crumbled with a crash, and Shiyu's was just about to swallow him whole.

At this critical moment, Uchiha Wei was so shocked that he couldn't move.

"Earth Release: Earth Wall!" A voice came from behind and to the side. A wall of earth burst from the ground and rose up in front of Uchiha Wei. The fireball slammed into it. Uchiha Wei was drenched in sweat, but at least he had narrowly escaped with his life.

Shiyu frowned. His White Rinnegan had clearly seen that the one who used Earth Wall was a slightly older ninja not far away. The ninja was now walking toward them.

"Kid, don't you think you went a little too far?" It was clear that the ninja was also a member of the Uchiha Clan, and seemed to have some close connection to Uchiha Wei.

"Brother Kaku! Good thing you got here!" Uchiha Wei said excitedly.

"Hmph! If I hadn't come, you would've lost to this orphan!" Uchiha Kaku seemed to hate Shiyu as well.

Shiyu narrowed his eyes at Uchiha Kaku, anger rising in his heart. He sneered. "I didn't expect to beat the younger one and have the older one show up. If I beat you too, will your Uchiha clan leader come out next?"

"Hmph! You think you can make the clan leader come out? Keep dreaming, kid! But at least you have enough sense not to call yourself a member of the Uchiha Clan. You're lucky today! Next time, I won't let you off so easily!" Uchiha Kaku then prepared to leave with Uchiha Wei.

But Shiyu gave a cold snort. He wasn't about to let this Uchiha walk away after putting on such a show in front of him.

Shiyu quickly formed Hand Seals, and another great fireball burst forth.

"Trying to leave? Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

The blazing fireball shone even brighter than before. Uchiha Kaku was taken aback. He immediately grabbed Uchiha Wei and dodged to the side, barely evading the attack. Then Uchiha Kaku angrily demanded,

"What the hell do you want, brat?" Uchiha Kaku looked rather bedraggled.

"Take your loss like a man and make him hand over Xiao Xing's Necklace! I won't kill you!" Shiyu glared coldly at Uchiha Wei.

"You dare!" Uchiha Kaku roared.

Shiyu's gaze was as icy as his unusually pale eyes, making even Uchiha Kaku feel a chill.

"Look at the trouble you've caused!" Uchiha Kaku glared at Wei, then reluctantly tossed the necklace to Shiyu. Shiyu caught it with one hand.

Seeing that the necklace was undamaged, Shiyu gave the two Uchihas a chilly smile.

Uchiha Wei and Uchiha Kaku gritted their teeth, but they knew they were outmatched and could only leave. Only after the two of them were gone did Shiyu turn and head back to the Ramen Shop.

When he arrived, he took out the necklace. Xiao Xing looked at the sparkling necklace and was so excited she nearly cried.

"Wow! Brother Shiyu! It's real! Is this really my necklace?"

"It was nothing, Xiao Xing! I even gave the guy who bullied you a beating. I'm sure he won't bully you again," Shiyu said confidently.

"Thank you, Brother Shiyu!" Xiao Xing felt completely at ease.

After finishing his noodles and parting ways with Xiao Xing, Shiyu returned to his lodgings. He hadn't been resting long before he excitedly began forming Hand Seals.

When Uchiha Kaku used Earth Release, Shiyu had happened to copy his technique.

"Earth Release: Earth Wall!" Shiyu formed Hand Seals and performed the new jutsu he had just learned.

At once, a wall of earth rose from the ground. It looked much larger and sturdier than the one Uchiha Kaku had made.

Looking at the Earth Wall, Shiyu smiled with satisfaction.

"After a day of practice, I've gotten much better at using the White Rinnegan. It seems to combine the Byakugan and the Three Tomoe Sharingan, giving me a special dojutsu that can instantly copy ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu!"

"My bloodline comes from the purest branch of the Otsutsuki Clan. It gives me chakra with all natures: Fire Release, Water Release, Wind Release, Earth Release, Lightning Release, and Yin-Yang Release. That's why I can master jutsu so easily."

Shiyu's guess was correct, but he seemed to have overlooked the fact that the chakra inside him had already reached Kage Level. That was one of the main reasons his jutsu were so powerful.

"And that system, too. It disappeared after saying one thing. I wonder what I need to do to trigger it again."

"I wonder how long I'll have to live like this

"Tomorrow I'll officially become a Genin. I wonder who my Jonin Instructor will be, and who my teammates will be.

Shiyu's thoughts wandered as his eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Gradually, he drifted off to sleep.

By the time the sky had turned pale with dawn, Shiyu had woken up.

He went to look in the mirror by the water basin and realized that his appearance had changed a little again.

His skin seemed even paler, and the horns on his head had grown quite a bit.

"Looks like my bloodline has evolved my body a little more."

"My chakra feels fuller than it did yesterday."

Shiyu put on his Konoha Headband as usual, changed into a stylish black ninja uniform, and headed to the Ninja Academy for the final graduation team assignments.

When his classmates saw how refreshed he looked, they were all quite surprised.

"Good grief! He doesn't have a scratch on him!"

"Did Uchiha Wei not go after him?"

"After what happened yesterday, Uchiha Wei was bound to get revenge. Maybe he just hasn't gotten around to it yet!"

Unfortunately, when the students nearby saw Uchiha Wei covered in wounds, they could no longer keep their cool.

"How could this happen!? Uchiha Wei's injured?"

"Yeah! What happened? Did Uchiha Shigure beat him up?"

"How is that possible! That's Uchiha Wei!"

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't say things like that."

"Hey, good morning, Uchiha Wei!"

Shiyu narrowed his eyes and greeted Uchiha Wei in a deliberately provocative manner. Then he walked over to his seat and sat down.

Uchiha Wei took half a step back and swallowed. He looked as though he'd seen something terrifying. Then he forced out a cold snort, walked into the classroom on his own, and sat at his seat without looking at anyone.
