My Family Lacks Everything Except Money

Suiya Sarutobi rushed forward at the first moment to intervene! But for some reason, Kyō Uchiha's speed in weaving hand signs and releasing his ninjutsu was incredibly fast, and by now, it was already too late!

"Water Style: Water Wall." Suiya Sarutobi released a water technique to extinguish the raging fire, but the thick smoke and steam made it impossible to see the situation on the field.

However, his intuition told him that something was definitely wrong with Kyō Uchiha!

"Torikaze!" Izori Uchiha's pupils constricted, and immediately, a blood-red color spread through them as the shape of two tomoe began to rotate.

This was the Kekkei Genkai of the Uchiha Clan, the Sharingan! She had successfully awakened her two-tomoe Sharingan as early as the age of five.

The surrounding students were completely stunned by the scene, and no one even noticed that Izori had activated her Sharingan.

"Torikaze!" Maruboshi Kosuke was the first to try and rush forward, but he was held back by the teacher.

"Damn it! That guy is trying to kill him!"

"This lunatic! He actually used ninjutsu to ambush Torikaze!"

The students were all deeply worried by this sudden turn of events. Torikaze was well-liked, and almost everyone in the class was his friend, which was why everyone was so anxious!

Izori felt incredibly guilty at this moment. She should have told Torikaze to be more careful, but she truly hadn't expected Kyō Uchiha to be so insane as to want to kill him.

Moreover, Kyō Uchiha's speed in releasing ninjutsu shouldn't have been that fast; it was so quick that even the teacher hadn't had time to stop him!

In her desperation, she activated her Sharingan, hoping to peer through the thick smoke to check on Torikaze, but the result left her dumbfounded.

"Teacher, Torikaze isn't on the field, there's only a... rock?" Yes, even Izori was unsure now. How did a perfectly fine Torikaze turn into a rock? And it didn't seem like an ordinary rock, either.

Suiya Sarutobi was also bewildered when he heard this. How did he turn into a rock?

"Wind Style: Gale Palm." Since he only needed to blow away the smoke and steam, he didn't channel too much chakra.

As the gale erupted from his palms, the students were finally able to see the state of the field. They saw Kyō Uchiha looking as if he had been drained by a ghost, his entire body withered and shriveled.

They didn't find any sign of Kumonaka Torikaze, but instead saw a pale pink, transparent crystal sculpture. It looked exactly like Kumonaka Torikaze, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.

"Teacher, can Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu turn people into crystal?" Maruboshi Kosuke asked, looking dazed.

Suiya Sarutobi didn't know what to say, so he just replied nonsensically: "It can turn people into fertilizer."

"Idiot, that's not me!" Kumonaka Torikaze gave Maruboshi Kosuke's head a hard knock.

Kosuke was caught off guard and felt a bit annoyed, but then he realized that Kumonaka Torikaze had appeared right behind him.

"Eh! Torikaze! You're not dead!"

Kumonaka Torikaze retorted irritably: "Are you really that eager for me to die?"

Maruboshi Kosuke scratched his head and gave a silly laugh: "No, no, I'm obviously happy that you're okay."

"It's good that you're fine, Torikaze. You really gave us quite a scare."

Teacher Sarutobi also felt a lingering fear. If a student had died on his watch during his first time teaching, he didn't know how his clan would punish him.

Kumonaka Torikaze told Teacher Sarutobi that he was fine, then walked toward Kyō Uchiha.

"Torikaze..."

Torikaze turned his head and saw Izori looking at him with a conflicted expression.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him."

Torikaze walked up to Kyō Uchiha, looked at him lying on the ground like a dried husk, and picked him up with his bare hands.

"Light as a feather."

He then aimed at a thick tree and tossed Kyō Uchiha high into the air.

"Crystal Release: Hexagonal Shuriken Dance!"

With a wave of his hand, countless hexagonal crystal shards spun and danced in the air like shuriken. The refracted sunlight made them look as brilliant as a light show.

The hexagonal crystals hit the edges of Kyō Uchiha's clothes with precision, the powerful force carrying him several meters away until he was firmly pinned to the tree, without damaging a single inch of his skin.

"This is... crystal?" Izori considered herself quite knowledgeable about ninjutsu, but she had never seen the technique Torikaze just used.

A thought rose in her heart.

Could this be a Kekkei Genkai?

Kumonaka Torikaze clapped his hands and brushed the dust off his body. He didn't care at all that his Crystal Release had been exposed; in fact, this was exactly what he wanted people to see, otherwise, he could have easily used other ninjutsu.

Before long, many ninjas discovered the commotion and rushed over.

After learning the situation from Suiya Sarutobi, they immediately took Kyō Uchiha away.

According to the rules, malicious injury within the village was to be handled by the Hokage, either through imprisonment or execution.

In any case, Kyō Uchiha's fate would not be a good one.

"Torikaze, what was that ninjutsu?"

"Teacher Sarutobi, this is my Kekkei Genkai: Crystal Release."

Good heavens, a Kekkei Genkai! And it was in his class! Furthermore, according to his research, Crystal Release had never appeared in history!

This matter had to be reported to the Hokage immediately!

"Students, class ends here for today. Everyone go home and rest for the day, and we will continue our lessons tomorrow."

The students naturally cheered at the news of a holiday, and since everyone knew who was responsible for securing this half-day break, they thanked Kumonaka Torikaze one after another before scattering, leaving only Uchiha Chirori standing in place.

"To think you were so impressive, Torikaze, it seems I was worried for nothing," Uchiha Chirori said with a hint of complaint.

"Ahem, my treat today, eat whatever you want! How about that?"

Uchiha Chirori suddenly broke into a smile: "Sounds good, just watch me eat you into bankruptcy!"

"My Kumonaka Clan lacks many things, but money is certainly not one of them."

The two shared a laugh and headed in the direction of the Akimichi BBQ Restaurant.

Inside the Hokage office, Senju Hashirama was busy reviewing documents. He had naturally noticed what just happened and had intended to go there himself, but was stopped by Senju Tobirama, who argued that the Hokage could not handle every single matter personally and needed to give his subordinates opportunities to learn.

Just then, the office door opened, and Suiya Sarutobi walked in.

"Lord Hokage, Lord Tobirama, I have failed in my duties, please punish me."

Senju Hashirama waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for self-reproach: "Tell me, what happened?"

Suiya Sarutobi reported everything that had occurred during the practical combat class to the Hokage.

Senju Tobirama said with a gloomy expression: "The inherently evil Uchiha Clan, as expected, none of them can stay quiet! To think they would dare to openly fight within the village!"

Senju Hashirama also felt a headache coming on regarding the situation, but fortunately, Kumonaka Torikaze had not been injured.

"So, Torikaze is already able to skillfully use his clan's secret Cloud Release?"

"Cloud Release?" Suiya Sarutobi was a bit confused; why were there so many terms he didn't understand lately?

"Lord Hashirama, Torikaze said his ability is... Crystal Release."

At this, both Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama could no longer sit still! The desk was slammed so hard that cracks appeared on its surface!

"What? Crystal Release! Not Cloud Release!"
