Genius Emerges!

Upon hearing Uchiha Kansan's words, the crowd automatically stepped back to provide the two with sufficient space for their battle.

"Boss..."

Xiu felt a sense of self-reproach.

If he hadn't impulsively retorted to the other party, Roy wouldn't have to face this situation now.

"It's fine."

"Some things have to be resolved eventually."

"Even if it wasn't you, there would have been other reasons for this fight to occur."

Roy offered a brief word of comfort to Xiu before stepping into the center of the area.

He knew that if he wanted to save the Uchiha, the first thing he had to do was change their arrogant and conceited temperament.

And to achieve that, the best method was strength!

If he wanted them to listen, he had to possess the power to crush them.

"Kid, your name is Roy, right?"

"Next, I will let you know that no matter what schemes you have,"

"They are useless in the face of absolute strength."

Uchiha Kansan said with a look of pride.

"Mm, I know."

"By the way, let me ask, how many people's attitudes can you represent?"

"What I mean is, if I defeat you, how many people will obediently listen to me?"

As Roy spoke, he looked toward the dozen or so people watching from the sidelines.

"Hahaha, as long as you can defeat Brother Kansan, I'll submit to you!"

"Count me in; I think it's normal for the Uchiha to be this arrogant!"

"Well said, the Uchiha should be like this, not cowardly wretches who shrink away!"

Originally, several of them were just there to watch the spectacle, but since Roy had put it that way, The dozen or so people all made their decisions simultaneously.

As long as Roy could defeat Kansan, they would all follow Roy's arrangements.

"Kid, you need to pick your targets for arrogance."

"Since you've said as much, it's really hard for me to hold back."

"Are you ready?"

Kansan wore a mocking expression.

In his view, grandstanding in front of him was simply courting death.

He was going to make this kid suffer.

"Let's begin."

As soon as Roy finished speaking, his entire figure vanished from where he stood.

"Hm?"

"Genjutsu?"

Kansan immediately activated his Sharingan, yet he still could not locate Roy's figure.

The most critical part was that he could still sense Roy's presence, but he couldn't pin down his location.

This situation made Kansan feel a bit cautious.

"Lightning Style: Lightning Assault!"

A few seconds later, Uchiha Kansan stopped searching for Roy's figure.

He directly unleashed a wide-range Lightning Style ninjutsu.

In this way, no matter where Roy was, he would be forced out.

This time, he would definitely lock onto Roy the moment he appeared, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"Decisive enough, but still a bit clumsy."

"Fire Style: Great Flame Spear!"

Roy gripped a spear made of flames in his hand and threw it instantly.

"Mere Fire Style, and you dare to use it in front of me?"

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Kansan was completely unfazed and countered directly with his own Fire Style.

"Pfft!"

Watching the Great Fireball before him fail to hold out for long, a massive spear of flame pierced through the fireball and struck toward Uchiha Kansan.

"How is this possible?"

Uchiha Kansan was somewhat bewildered.

He clearly hadn't sensed any significant chakra fluctuations coming from that spear of flame!

Why, then, did it possess such formidable power?

"Brother Kansan, he just released four fire spears in a row!"

A ninja on the sidelines couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Roy paid no mind to such commentary from the sidelines.

In the face of absolute confidence, such outside assistance was irrelevant...

On a rooftop in the distance.

"Clan Head, Roy's strength has already reached the level of a Jonin."

"Furthermore, he will soon rise to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us."

"Should we..."

Nagasawa looked at Uchiha Fugaku beside him with a strange expression.

It wasn't that the Uchiha lacked geniuses lately.

It was that these geniuses all suffered from a peculiar affliction.

Uchiha Itachi followed Uchiha Shisui.

Uchiha Shisui had a subtle attitude; one could not tell what he was thinking, nor could he be controlled.

And then there was that senior...

Now, another one had appeared in Roy, capable of casting several ninjutsu instantly without hand seals.

Although the power wasn't yet overwhelming, he had already begun to display the sharp edge of a genius.

"No need."

"From the things Roy has been doing, it isn't difficult to analyze that his heart lies with the Uchiha!"

Fugaku shook his head.

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Whether it was Shisui or his son Itachi.

Although they were both geniuses, they were each protecting the Uchiha in ways they deemed correct.

To put it nicely, this approach showed strong autonomy.

But to put it bluntly, it was self-centered.

The stronger Roy became, the more at ease Fugaku felt.

Meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield began to undergo a strange shift.

Uchiha Kansan, a Jonin, was already panting, while Roy remained as relaxed as ever.

"How about it? Shall we continue the fight?"

Roy's voice pierced Uchiha Kansan like a sharp thorn.

If he admitted defeat now, it would be equivalent to slapping his own face hard.

But if he didn't admit defeat and was beaten by Roy, he would lose every last shred of his dignity.

As a Jonin, Uchiha Kansan knew clearly.

Roy was no longer an opponent he could defeat.

"If we continue to fight, my chakra might run out."

"But before that happens, I should be able to trade blows and leave you severely wounded."

Seeing the other party remain silent, Roy provoked him once more.

"If you can take this next move, I will admit defeat!"

"Watch yourself..."

Uchiha Kansan said, quickly forming hand seals.

"Fire Style: Fire Fist!"

How could Roy possibly give him the time to form hand seals?

That trope of waiting for the opponent to charge up only happened on television.

As a barrage of Fire Fists struck out, Uchiha Kansan was unable to complete his seals.

Swiftly dodging.

"Kid, you don't play by the rules..."

"On the battlefield, any method is acceptable. If I were your enemy, you would have died many times over already."

"Fire Style: Great Flame Explosion!"

As Roy spoke, he unleashed a ninjutsu of considerable power.

Of course, these ninjutsu were merely manifestations of the Mera Mera no Mi's abilities.

Aside from consuming chakra, they placed very little burden on his body.

Therefore, as long as he had enough chakra, he would not give his opponent before him a chance to weave hand seals.

"I surrender!"

Under the bombardment of several consecutive ninjutsu, Uchiha Kansan's unwilling voice rang out.

"I would have run out of steam after a few dozen more ninjutsu anyway. I appreciate you letting me win, Brother Kansan."

Roy used the Body Flicker Technique to appear before Uchiha Kansan and extended his hand.

"You..."

"I... Hahaha, you kid are something else!"

"I, Kansan, am convinced!"

Uchiha Kansan had originally been somewhat unconvinced, but after hearing Roy's words, he burst into laughter.

At the same time, he gripped Roy's hand firmly.
