A true genius

Yang Xing will always keep his promises.

Having decided to bring Tenzo in, and wanting to make him one of their own as soon as possible, Yang Xing took him to the New Anbu.

As for the trivial matter of Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi following him, he no longer cared.

For some reason, when Asuma learned that he was one of the leaders of the Starlight Group, this kid clearly looked at him differently and treated him differently. That smiling face made Yang Xing's chrysanthemum hurt a little.

These two probably don't have any particular hobbies.

Under a heightened state of alert, Yang Xing was at the very front. If they weren't currently inside the Starlight Group headquarters, he would have loved to give Asuma, who was grinning at him in a disgusting way, a good beating.

"Um, Yang Xing -san?" A voice broke through Yang Xing's thoughts. The newcomer was a young man dressed in the casual attire typical of the Uchiha Clan. Upon seeing Yang Xing, he immediately greeted him, "Oh, what brings you here today?"

"Oh, Shisui Uchiha? Is your clan leader not here today?"

Shisui Uchiha was a special agent appointed by Fugaku Uchiha to the Anbu. Although he was young, he was undoubtedly one of the most outstanding members of the Uchiha Clan.

Fugaku Uchiha also valued him highly; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted his son to this man's care.

"Brother Yang Xing, Brother Yang Xing, hey, how about I join the Starlight Group? I'm really good! I've passed all the school's tests, and they say my strength has advanced to Chunin!" Young Little Itachi excitedly tossed the object up to Yang Xing the moment he saw him.

"Oh, that's impressive?" Yang Xing chuckled, patting the little kid's head. "Not bad, not bad at all."

"Hmph, this brat dares to become Chunin, and even dares to dream of becoming a member of the New Anbu. How laughable." A cold snort clearly came from Asuma's nose.

Upon hearing Asuma's words, Itachi's expression darkened.

"Who are you?" Little Itachi Uchiha asked haughtily, "This isn't a place for outsiders."

"Hey kid, you don't know who I am. This place will become my territory sooner or later. I'm going to be a member of the Starlight Group."

"You... Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Itachi was furious, and his temper was also bad. He immediately unleashed a Fire Style: Fireball Technique, without any regard for the surroundings.

Yang Xing, standing to the side, paused for a second, then stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "Not bad Fire Style! The control is also excellent. Itachi truly is a genius."

The fireball was only about the size of two fists, and it was clearly being deliberately controlled by Itachi.

Asuma, who hadn't expected the child in front of him to make a move, was hit directly.

"Hey, you bastard, how dare you burn my hair! Stop right there!" Asuma's hair was burned off, which made him furious. He chased after Itachi, but unfortunately, Asuma couldn't catch up at all.

Ignoring the two fools, Yang Xing turned to stare at Shisui Uchiha ahead.

Noticing Yang Xing's gaze, Shisui Uchiha smiled and said, "I wonder what brings you here to see the clan head? If possible, I will relay your message to the clan head."

Shisui Uchiha was also very famous in Konoha.

Especially after the start of Third Shinobi World War, many outstanding young people in the village emerged from Zhang's talents.

The person in front of her was a genius of the Uchiha Clan, the genius who possessed the strongest Dōjutsu, the Sharingan. Just for that title alone, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't possibly be indifferent. But what she cared about more now was how this genius treated Yang Xing.

What kind of person, what kind of genius, is it that commands the respect of countless prodigies?

"It's nothing major, just that we want someone to join the New Anbu, the captain of the first squad. Kakashi isn't here, and Minato-sensei is busy with other things, so I was just thinking of asking someone from your Uchiha Fourth Squad to pass on the message to Kakashi."

"Oh, Kakashi- san? I see." Shisui Uchiha nodded in agreement. Seeing that Yang Xing was about to leave, he remembered something and couldn't help but say, "By the way, Yang Xing, I heard that you were the one who injured the Third Hokage Tsuchikage during this attack. Is that true?"

"The Uchiha Clan is so well-informed."

"I just happened to hear about it, but judging from your expression, it seems to be true." Shisui Uchiha's eyes held a hint of admiration, but also a renewed fighting spirit. "Given the chance, I'd really like to have a match with you."

"Haha, there's a chance, there's a chance." Yang Xing replied casually, not wanting to fight at all.

Damn it, why do so many people like to fight me? If they were beautiful women, it would be fine, but these are all men, and a group of men who are called geniuses in the village.

There's no benefit in fighting, so why would anyone want to get involved?

"Lord Tsuchikage has been defeated!" someone exclaimed during their conversation.

Asuma, who was clearly hearing this from the side, shouted very loudly.

The vibrations were so strong that my ears felt a little swollen.

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes gleamed with interest, clearly indicating that her interest in Yang Xing was now at its peak. A genius capable of defeating the Tsuchikage, especially at such a young age, was unprecedented in Konoha, no, in the entire Land of Fire.

She never expected to be noticed by such a unique genius. At this moment, Kurenai Yuhi's heart changed slightly, and her gaze towards Yang Xing also became somewhat different.

"Brother Yang Xing is really amazing." Coupled with Little Itachi Uchiha's smug words, everyone's attention turned to Yang Xing: "You guys don't know, Brother Yang Xing fought the Tsuchikage one-on-one and seriously injured that Tsuchikage man. If Brother Yang Xing hadn't let him go, that old man would definitely be dead."

Although he enjoyed being looked at by Kurenai Yuhi's excited and adorable expression, the way the others were staring at him made Yang Xing feel incredibly annoyed.

He's not even a beauty, yet he looks like he's got me cornered.

"Luck, luck, I guess." With an awkward laugh, Yang Xing just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, these people didn't seem to be going to let him go so easily.

"How could this be luck?" Asuma's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he pointed at Yang Xing and shouted, "Alright, I've decided! Your name is Yang Xing, and from today onwards, you're my training partner. I'm determined to surpass you!"

"That won't do. I was the one who spoke first. Yang Xing is my first opponent." Shisui Uchiha's smile was very gentle, but his gaze beneath that gentleness was quite piercing.

"No, no, not even Shisui -nii! Yang Xing- nii is my training partner, and I was the first to discover it!" Little Itachi Uchiha shouted angrily.

The three of them exchanged glances that seemed to carry a whirlwind of lightning.

Unable to stand these fighting maniacs, Yang Xing made up an excuse and escaped from the house.

He didn't want to care at all, unaware that the house was becoming extremely noisy because of him.

"As expected, everyone in Konoha is deformed." Yang Xing sighed and walked out along the corridor. He paused at the door, frowning and muttering to himself, "I seem to have forgotten someone. Oh right, that guy from that Tenzo is still there. Oh well, I'll talk to Kakashi when I find him and have Kakashi normalize that guy's personality first."

Not wanting to go back, Yang Xing left the unfinished Starlight Group headquarters.
