Obito Awakens His Eyes

"Do you want to die?"

Uchiha Yeshing's Double Tomoe Sharingan stared coldly at Houka, his killing intent palpable.

Houka raised a delicate, youthful brow, refusing to back down: "Why don't you try?"

"Arrogant!" Uchiha Yeshing's eye twitched, and he threw a Shuriken directly.

As a Chunin, Uchiha Yeshing's strength was far greater than Uchiha Ronai's. The Shuriken whistled sharply through the air, turning into a blur as it descended upon Houka's head.

This guy really wants to kill me!

Facing a life-or-death crisis, Houka's lean but wiry body exploded into action, the results of Might Duy's grueling training finally revealed to everyone.

Whoosh!

A breeze flickered past, and the Shuriken pierced straight through Houka's head, but it only struck an afterimage.

"So fast!"

Uchiha Yeshing's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm. His Double Tomoe Sharingan instantly locked onto Houka's figure, and he lunged forward.

He flicked his right hand, instantly reversing his grip on his Kunai: "Uchiha Houka, you should be proud to see the strength of a Chunin before you die."

Swish!

Two afterimages crossed in the air for a split second, followed by a harsh, metallic screech.

"He actually blocked it?!"

Shock appeared in Uchiha Yeshing's eyes, and his killing intent grew even stronger.

He turned and launched another attack, this time holding nothing back. Chakra poured continuously into his Kunai, causing it to emit a pale blue light, shaping it into a blade as sharp as a divine weapon.

Uchiha Yeshing's Kunai was a custom-made tool capable of conducting Chakra, greatly enhancing its sharpness.

I can't take this head-on. I only have half my Chakra left, and even adding my main body's Chakra, I'm still a bit short of a Chunin!

Houka shifted his feet, switching to a hit-and-run strategy.

His ninja pouch at his waist was filled with ninja tools, and now was the perfect time to use them.

Swish, swish, swish!

A rain of Shuriken poured down like a storm, firing madly toward Uchiha Yeshing.

"Is this all you've got?"

Uchiha Yeshing swung his Kunai casually, the pale blue blade-light easily swatting all the Shuriken aside.

"Fox Mind Technique!" Houka cast a Genjutsu in the blink of an eye.

The Fox Mind Technique could make the target see a maze, causing them to wander in circles and exhaust their stamina.

But the next scene caught Houka off guard. He realized with horror that he had suddenly walked into a maze himself, with winding walls stretching out on both sides, twisting and turning in a way that made it impossible to find an exit at first glance.

"Crap!"

Houka reacted quickly, secretly blaming himself.

Uchiha Yeshing was using his Double Tomoe Sharingan; the Fox Mind Technique must have been reflected back at him!

Houka closed his eyes immediately, using his ears to listen for movement in the surroundings.

Uchiha Yeshing curled his lips into a cruel, cold sneer. Watching Houka with his eyes tightly shut, he walked slowly toward him: "You actually used a Genjutsu on me? Uchiha Houka, did you forget about my eyes?! Hehehe..."

Amidst his cold laughter, he cast the Fox Mind Technique—strengthened by his Sharingan—back onto Houka!

In the distance, Obito was losing his composure.

"Damn it, Houka, wake up! No, I have to save him!"

Asuma hurriedly held him back: "Obito, calm down! It hasn't reached the point of no return yet. This guy shouldn't dare to kill someone at the Ninja Academy!"

"What do you mean 'shouldn't'? What if he really does it? No, I have to stop him!"

Obito clenched his fists, a surge of fear welling up from the depths of his heart. He remembered playing with Houka as a child, the past half-year of Houka taking care of him and his grandmother, the delicious food, and the warm greetings. A strange surge of Chakra suddenly emerged from the depths of his mind, slowly seeping into his brain.

"It's over!"

Uchiha Yeshing tapped his toes, his figure turning into an afterimage as he reached Houka in an instant. He held his Kunai in a reverse grip against Houka's throat; a single movement would be enough to slit it!

"Stop!!!"

Obito roared. Driven by anger and fear, the special Chakra in the depths of his mind surged violently, flooding into his eyes.

Bang!

As the Kunai slashed across the throat, Houka's figure immediately dissipated into smoke.

"Nani?" A strange look appeared in Uchiha Yeshing's eyes, followed by a ferocious, angry glare. "A clone? No, if it were a clone, my Sharingan would have spotted it. This is... a Shadow Clone? Damn it, have I been fighting Uchiha Houka's Shadow Clone the whole time?! A brat who isn't even a Genin dares to humiliate me like this? Damn you!"

On the other side, Rin, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma, and the others also screamed, partly because Houka had vanished, and partly because of Obito's strange state.

"Obito, your eyes..." Rin looked stunned, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Asuma's eye twitched: "Sharingan... did he awaken them because of the shock of Houka's 'death'?"

"Houka, that guy really scared me!" Seeing Houka disappear, Obito patted his chest in relief, but then he noticed the world before him changing, and Rin's voice made him realize something.

"My eyes? My eyes..." Obito hurriedly took off his goggles. Reflected in the lenses was a pair of blood-red Single Tomoe Sharingan!

"Haha, I've awakened them! I've awakened them! This is my Sharingan!"

Obito danced with excitement, nearly going mad with joy.

His dream was to become Hokage, and the Sharingan was his greatest asset for achieving that goal!

Uchiha Yeshing suddenly cast his gaze over, his Double Tomoe Sharingan staring fixedly at Obito's eyes.

"You actually awakened them? What a lucky brat!" Uchiha Yeshing used the Body Flicker Technique to appear directly in front of Obito. "Tell me, where is Uchiha Houka!"

"Bastard, do you think I'd tell you? Keep dreaming!" Obito glared at him excitedly. The single tomoe in his Sharingan rotated slowly, but it soon dissipated, reverting to normal eyes.

Although Obito had awakened his eyes, as someone ranked at the bottom of his grade, his Chakra was pitifully low, to say nothing of his ocular power.

In just this short moment, he had already failed to maintain the consumption required by the Sharingan.

"Damn it!" Obito felt extremely unwilling.

"Kid, that's no way to talk to an adult!" Uchiha Yeshing reached out, intending to grab Houka.

"Hold on a second!" Asuma Sarutobi finally stepped forward. "Mister, this is the Ninja Academy. What exactly do you think you're doing!"

Uchiha Yeshing's pupils constricted; he clearly recognized Asuma's identity, but he still insisted stubbornly, "This is a private matter of the Uchiha clan, and it has nothing to do with outsiders."

"Students of the Ninja Academy belong to Konoha; there are no outsiders here, mister!" Asuma said calmly, refusing to back down.

At the same time, on the rooftop of the Ninja Academy, the Third Hokage finally spoke: "That's enough."

Danzo revealed a faint smile: "Don't you want to see what he does next?"

Whether this "he" referred to Uchiha Yeshing, Asuma, or both, the Third Hokage was not interested.

"Fine, you are the Hokage, you have the final say, hehe."

Danzo signaled in one direction with his eyes. Soon, a ninja appeared on the playground and spoke a few words to Uchiha Yeshing, who hesitated for a moment before finally taking his son, Uchiha Ronai, and leaving the Ninja Academy.
