Single-Tomoe Sharingan

The clearing wasn't large, and the voices of Uchiha Daishi and the others all reached Uchiha Eiji's ears.

Only then did he notice that under his assault, Uchiha Yuan had truly not moved an inch, standing in place the entire time.

In an instant, a sense of immense humiliation surged into Uchiha Eiji's heart.

Uchiha Yuan, I will definitely make you move your feet!

At this moment, Uchiha Eiji's goal changed.

From the dozens of attacks that Uchiha Yuan had easily blocked before, he knew he had already lost; but he refused to accept that he couldn't even make the opponent move his feet.

So, in the following few attacks, he secretly gathered strength, all of them feints.

After all, even a full-power strike would be easily blocked by Uchiha Yuan.

A short while later, after more than ten rounds of offense and defense, just as Uchiha Yuan caught one of Uchiha Eiji's flying kicks with a punch, he suddenly sensed a chakra fluctuation emanating from Uchiha Eiji's body.

At the same time, Uchiha Eiji used the recoil force to leap backward. In mid-air, he rapidly formed hand seals.

Fire Style--Great Fireball Technique!

A scorching flame erupted from his mouth, forming a fireball over a meter in diameter that flew towards Uchiha Yuan.

Uchiha Eiji's lips curled into a smile, "Uchiha Yuan, will you still not move this time!"

But in the very next second, the flames of the Great Fireball were instantly shattered.

A violent gust of wind pressure surged out from within the flames, sweeping past Uchiha Eiji.

Countless fragments of clothing fluttered down, Uchiha Eiji's left sleeve torn and shredded by the fierce wind generated by the violent pressure.

The sudden change caused the smile Uchiha Eiji had just shown to freeze instantly.

Before his eyes, Uchiha Yuan still hadn't moved a single step.

Uchiha Yuan maintained a Straight Punch Thrust posture. He had just gotten a little serious.

Retracting his fist, Uchiha Yuan walked in front of Uchiha Eiji and said, "You lost."

Uchiha Eiji remained silent, his gaze somewhat dazed.

At this moment, his two companions quickly ran over. One of them shouted at Uchiha Yuan, "Uchiha Yuan, don't get cocky. Eiji-bro only lost to you because he was careless."

Amidst his companion's shouting, Uchiha Eiji spoke, "Hayabusa, Kotaro, you don't need to say anything more. I lost."

Although the Uchiha Clan was proud, they respected strength. Since the outcome was decided, they would not shirk from admitting it.

He slightly raised his head to look at Uchiha Yuan, seeing the light flashing in his eyes, a single black tomoe spinning and appearing in his pupils.

This is the awakening of the Sharingan.

Uchiha Hayabusa and Uchiha Kotaro were both surprised and delighted to see the change in Uchiha Eiji's eyes.

"That's great, Eiji-bro, you've awakened the Sharingan."

Touching his eyes, Uchiha Eiji was also filled with a mix of surprise and joy; he clearly felt that his vision could see farther and clearer.

In the distant grass, many flying insects were buzzing. As his gaze fell upon them, he could clearly see the flight trajectories of these insects as if they were in slow motion.

After the surprise, Uchiha Eiji noticed that Uchiha Yuan's expression seemed a little strange.

There was a hint of surprise, but no envy or jealousy. His face was very calm, as if awakening the Sharingan was a trivial, everyday matter.

In contrast, Uchiha Daishi and others, who had gathered upon hearing Uchiha Hayabusa's shouts, looked at the Sharingan in his eyes with expressions of envy, longing, and even awe.

Uchiha Yuan was indeed a little surprised, not expecting Uchiha Eiji to awaken his Sharingan so suddenly.

At this moment, Uchiha Eiji spoke, "Uchiha Yuan, I lost. According to our previous bet, you can make one request of me."

Uchiha Yuan said, "You should have books on chakra cultivation at home, right? I'd like to borrow one for reference."

"Borrow a book?"

Hearing Uchiha Yuan's words, Uchiha Eiji was stunned.

He had originally thought Uchiha Yuan would make an outrageous request and was struggling with how to deal with it.

After all, he had previously said that if he won, he would make Uchiha Yuan crawl on the ground and bark like a dog.

Seeing Uchiha Eiji hesitate and remain silent, Uchiha Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Is this request difficult to fulfill?"

Uchiha Eiji's gaze was somewhat complex as he said, "No, your request is very simple. I'm just a bit surprised by it."

Then, Uchiha Eiji and the other two left the open space.

Uchiha Yuan sat cross-legged on a large rock beside the open space, with Uchiha Daishi and others standing in three straight rows before him.

They were Uchiha Yuan's personal guards, subordinates who loyally followed him.

Uchiha Daishi and the others all came from the collateral branches of the clan. They were assessed by the clan as having low ninja talent, which was why Uchiha Eiji called them trash. As a result, they were often bullied and toyed with by other children in the clan.

Uchiha Yuan, also from a collateral branch, noticed them. One day, after they had just lost a fight with a group of clan children and were covered in dust, Uchiha Yuan appeared before them and asked if they wanted to become stronger.

At that time, Uchiha Daishi and the others, having just lost their fight, took Uchiha Yuan's words as mockery.

Because Uchiha Yuan looked even thinner than them, they angrily shouted and charged at him.

Then, Uchiha Yuan knocked them all down with one punch each in a matter of seconds.

From then on, they became Uchiha Yuan's followers.

Uchiha Yuan knew very well that to change the fate of the Uchiha clan, in addition to his own strength, he needed a powerful force.

A spark of fire can start a prairie fire.

He wanted to build his own force.

And it all began with these children whom the clan considered trash.

He brought them light and gave them strength.

He was the leader they were loyal to.

"What's going on with Uchiha Eiji?" Uchiha Yuan asked.

Uchiha Daishi quickly replied, "Big Brother, Uchiha Eiji is the one who used to bully us.

We've been training the Straight Punch Thrust you taught us here these past few days. He must have heard we were here and came looking for us."

Uchiha Yuan's gaze slowly swept across the faces of Uchiha Daishi and the others beside him, and he asked, "Were you all defeated by him within a few moves?"

"I lasted seven moves."

"I didn't expect him to have mastered the Body Flicker Technique. I only lasted five moves."

"But after training according to the method you taught us, Big Brother, I found that the punches Uchiha Eiji landed on me today didn't seem to hurt as much as before."

Listening to Uchiha Daishi and the others, Uchiha Yuan said, "Although the clan thinks you have no talent for ninjutsu, don't give up. Training in taijutsu can also make you a strong individual.

As long as you train diligently and persist every day, the day you defeat Uchiha Eiji will not be far off."

The taijutsu Uchiha Yuan taught Uchiha Daishi and the others was a body-training method and various techniques for circulating power. Uchiha Yuan comprehended these by observing the flow of qi and blood and muscle exertion within his own body through mental power during his daily boxing practice.

Afterward, Uchiha Daishi and the others continued their training, which had been interrupted by Uchiha Eiji.

Uchiha Yuan stood by and watched. After offering some guidance on their training movements and breathing, he left the area.
