Kai's Intuition

Sarutobi Asuma had been quietly watching Kurenai Yuhi. When he noticed a look of pity and concern for Kakashi-senpai in her eyes, he couldn't help but pout, feeling very displeased with Kakashi-senpai.

Kakashi-senpai looked at the two women standing before him and said softly, "I'm sorry, Kurenai, Shizune. I just want to be alone."

Hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi and Kato Shizune couldn't help but show disappointed expressions.

Seeing this, especially Kurenai Yuhi's crestfallen face, Sarutobi Asuma became angry and yelled at Kakashi-senpai, "Kakashi-senpai, you scoundrel, how can you betray Kurenai's concern for you!"

"Asuma!"

Kurenai Yuhi put her hands on her hips and glared angrily at Sarutobi Asuma.

At this moment, Uchiha Yuan walked over.

He stopped in front of them, waved at Kakashi-senpai with a smile, and said, "Nice to see you again, Kakashi-senpai."

Seeing Uchiha Yuan, although Kakashi-senpai's gaze remained indifferent and undisturbed, the corner of his mouth under his mask twitched slightly.

It was that thick-skinned Uchiha junior.

'Huh, an Uchiha junior.'

Kurenai Yuhi and the others looked at Uchiha Yuan with expressions of confusion and surprise.

Sarutobi Asuma stopped his outburst and his gaze darted between Uchiha Yuan and Kakashi-senpai with surprise a few times.

He walked up to Uchiha Yuan and asked, "Uchiha kid, how do you know Kakashi-senpai?"

Uchiha Yuan said, "Kakashi-senpai is a famous genius, a target of admiration for everyone at the Ninja Academy. How could I not know him?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma wore a displeased expression, and his gaze secretly flickered towards Kurenai Yuhi.

Kurenai Yuhi and Kato Shizune smiled. Kurenai Yuhi said, "Kakashi-senpai is truly amazing, becoming a role model for the juniors."

Hearing Kurenai Yuhi praise Kakashi-senpai, Sarutobi Asuma felt extremely displeased.

He turned to Uchiha Yuan, puffed out his chest, and said, "Do you know who I am?"

Uchiha Yuan shook his head, his face showing arrogance, "No. We Uchiha never pay attention to nobodies."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma's face became furious. He reached out to grab Uchiha Yuan, shouting, "Damn Uchiha kid, remember my name! I am Sarutobi Asuma, and I will definitely become a powerful ninja in the future!"

Uchiha Yuan shifted his steps slightly, avoiding Sarutobi Asuma's grasping hand. Then he looked at Kakashi-senpai and said, "Kakashi-senpai, I ate your ramen last time. I hope you don't mind."

After a few seconds of silence, Kakashi-senpai said indifferently, "It's fine. You don't need to worry about it; consider it my treat."

With that, Kakashi-senpai continued to walk forward, but he was stopped by Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune.

"Kakashi-senpai, you treated someone to ramen?"

"Kakashi-kun, I think you must attend today's gathering."

"Yeah, and Kakashi has to pay."

Just then, a figure clad in a green training outfit appeared behind Kakashi.

He reached out and patted Kakashi's shoulder. As Kakashi turned, he flashed a mouthful of white teeth and laughed heartily, "Yo, Kakashi, we haven't seen each other in thirty-four days. To commemorate our reunion, let's run twenty laps around Konohagakure."

Seeing the green training outfit, Uchiha Yuan knew this was Konoha's rare beast, Might Guy.

At the same time, his keen spiritual sense could detect a powerful surge of qi and blood within Guy.

However, upon hearing Guy's words, Uchiha Yuan couldn't help but get a dark line across his forehead, unable to comprehend his thought process.

"Kakashi-senpai, goodbye."

Seeing Kakashi being pestered by his classmates, Uchiha Yuan took his leave. His voice also drew Guy's attention.

Guy watched his retreating back, the smile on his face gradually fading.

"Guy, what's wrong? Is there something about that Uchiha kid?"

Sarutobi Asuma noticed Guy's expression and couldn't help but ask.

Guy pointed a finger at Uchiha Yuan's retreating figure and said, "He's strong, very strong. Hahaha, I'm starting to get excited."

Asuma quickly asked, "How do you know?"

Guy raised his thumb and said, "I can feel it."

Hearing this, Asuma, who had been serious moments before, immediately relaxed and said dismissively, "Oh, it's just your feeling, Guy. You're getting more and more outrageous."

In the perception of Asuma and the others, Might Guy was known for his outrageous behavior. Therefore, they didn't take his words to heart at all.

Uchiha Yuan returned to the Uchiha Clan compound and walked along a path in the woods towards his home.

Suddenly, several metallic clanging sounds came from the depths of the woods on one side of the path.

Uchiha Yuan walked towards the direction of the sound and saw a small figure practicing shuriken throws in a clearing in the woods.

Although the figure was small, Uchiha Yuan recognized the person practicing shuriken throws as Uchiha Itachi the moment he saw him.

Swish, swish, swish!

Shuriken were thrown in a dazzling array of poses, all landing precisely on the bullseye.

The Uchiha Clan was renowned throughout the ninja world for their mastery of Fire Style, but in reality, due to the Sharingan, the Uchiha Clan possessed extremely keen perception.

Therefore, the Uchiha family had inherited very profound shuriken throwing techniques.

Now seeing Uchiha Itachi's shuriken throwing technique, Uchiha Yuan felt his own throwing skill was already stronger than the Chunin teacher who taught shuriken throwing at the Ninja Academy.

Uchiha Itachi darted up and down, his figure constantly changing, throwing shuriken from all sorts of tricky angles.

Standing outside the clearing, watching this scene, Uchiha Yuan couldn't help but show an expression of admiration.

Regarding Uchiha Itachi, although Uchiha Yuan didn't agree with his final choice, he recognized his talent and aptitude.

Uchiha Itachi was definitely a monstrous genius.

If Assistant hadn't been the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, his strength wouldn't have been comparable to Uchiha Itachi's.

Swish!

Suddenly, a whistling sound pierced the air, and a shuriken embedded itself in a tree next to Uchiha Yuan.

Uchiha Itachi had made a mistake.

He had been practicing throwing three shuriken simultaneously, all of which accurately hit the bullseye.

Then he tried throwing five shuriken at once, and the result was that only two hit the target, while the other three missed.

Uchiha Itachi frowned, looking at the missed shuriken, and then he saw Uchiha Yuan.

Uchiha Itachi's face first showed surprise. He hadn't expected anyone to appear in this secluded part of the forest.

Then he quickly jogged over, saying anxiously, "I'm sorry, I didn't know anyone was nearby. I almost injured you."

If the shuriken Uchiha Itachi had missed had been even slightly off, it wouldn't have embedded itself in the tree, but in Uchiha Yuan's body.
