Akimichi Denji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
Completing a wish in this manner was somewhat beyond his expectations.
The development of events seemed to have veered off course; he had originally intended to defeat Uchiha to fulfill his wish, but he hadn't expected that the act of defeating him would trigger the awakening of his eyes, causing Uchiha Sasuke to become arrogant and believe himself invincible, thereby fulfilling the "Uchiha is invincible" wish.
It seems that fulfilling a wish does not require completing a tangible task; one only needs to induce the corresponding emotion of "completion" in the character?
Realizing this, he felt a sense of delight, as it gave him a deeper understanding of the system.
He continued to speculate.
What if it were genjutsu? If he possessed genjutsu, could he obtain Wish Points by making a character experience a moment of fantasy where their wish is fulfilled?
If this method were feasible, and he were to acquire a pair of Uchiha Sharingan...
Akimichi Denji's gaze turned profound. The look he directed at Uchiha Sasuke carried a hint of complexity.
That Uchiha Sasuke awakened a One Tomoe after being defeated by him was something he had not foreseen.
After all, in the original work, Sasuke only awakened the One Tomoe Sharingan out of despair after witnessing his brother slaughter their entire clan and parents during the Night of the Clan Massacre the following year.
He wondered what kind of impact this would have on the original timeline.
He did not believe that it was simply his defeat of Sasuke that caused the awakening.
Although there was some emotional shock involved, it was a bit of an exaggeration to reach the level of awakening eyes.
If one could awaken eyes this way, Hyuga Neji could just beat Uchiha Sasuke to a pulp, and he could find other ninjas from various clans to beat up Uchiha clan members; the Uchiha would then be mass-producing tomoe.
It was more likely that...
Akimichi Denji looked at the dense Uzumaki Naruto.
It must have been Naruto's words that made Uchiha Sasuke realize he was vaguely on the same level as Naruto, and he felt humiliated by it? That must have been the trigger.
He knew that although Uchiha Sasuke appeared cold and aloof, he secretly considered Uzumaki Naruto a loser, and hearing Naruto offer him comfort must have been unbearable for him.
In the original work, during the mission in the Land of Waves, Sasuke awakened the Two Tomoe Sharingan to save Naruto. When facing Haku's fatal attack, he instinctively shielded Naruto, and at that moment, he wasn't thinking about the blood feud of his clan.
During the first duel at the Valley of the End, Sasuke unlocked the Three Tomoe Sharingan for the first time in order to defeat Naruto, whom he regarded as his "arch-rival."
It could be said that true awakening still relied on Naruto.
What a tsundere.
According to the lore, Uzumaki Naruto is the reincarnation of Asura's chakra, and Uchiha Sasuke is the reincarnation of Indra's chakra. To some extent, these two share the bond of Asura and Indra, locked in a cycle of love and hate.
Truly the gay couple of Konoha...
Uchiha Sasuke smiled contentedly: "With my awakened Sharingan, you won't be my match. Let's fight again!"
"Don't worry, as a reward for helping me awaken my eyes, I'll go easy on you."
"Oh! The scar has just healed, and you've already forgotten the pain." Akimichi Denji looked at the confident Sunny Sasuke and said playfully.
This situation is a classic case of: the sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and Sunny Sasuke thinks he can do it again!
"Hmph." Uchiha Sasuke snorted coldly and said, "Let's fight again!"
His previous injuries were not serious, and he could handle another bout.
Mainly, Uchiha Sasuke was extremely unconvinced about being defeated just like that.
Now that he had awakened his eyes, he was invincible!
"As you wish." Akimichi Denji said with a smile.
The two performed hand seals and stood opposite each other.
This time, Sasuke had learned his lesson and kept his distance.
Knowing that Akimichi Denji's taijutsu was astonishing, he did not intend to engage in close-quarters combat, opting instead for long-range harassment.
The greatest ability of the Sharingan lies in insight and hypnosis; in taijutsu, it can perceive an enemy's attacks and movements, and one only needs to find the weakness.
Akimichi Denji did not indulge him.
Triple Strength of a Hundred! Heaven-Piercing Kick!
His figure moved like lightning, carrying a gale as he rapidly closed in on Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke pulled out six shuriken and threw them at Akimichi Denji, attempting to force him back.
The shuriken were made of wood, as this was merely a spar and not a fight to the death.
The six shuriken locked onto Akimichi Denji's position.
Haruno Sakura let out a gasp; there were not many people in the entire Ninja Academy who could pull off this kind of shuriken technique.
They had only just enrolled, and throwing six shuriken simultaneously was still too overpowered.
Akimichi Denji didn't even look; under the momentum of his Heaven-Piercing Kick, it was too late to dodge.
Red light erupted from his body, causing the air to hiss and sizzle.
Scorch Release!
Without any attempt to dodge, he charged straight ahead.
"Watch out!" Iruka couldn't help but cry out, preparing to step in and stop the spar.
Even though the shuriken were made of wood, charging into them like that would still result in injury.
He had no idea what kind of effect Akimichi Denji's Scorch Release might have.
But Iruka was a step too late; the speed granted by the Triple Strength of a Hundred combined with the velocity of the shuriken meant they were rushing toward each other, and there was simply no time to intervene!
Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan revealed his surprise; he recognized this ninjutsu, as Akimichi Denji had used it when they encountered Shimura Danzō.
Back then, it had melted the chakra threads instantly.
In a split second, Sasuke made his judgment: it couldn't be blocked.
The reality proved him right; the moment the wooden shuriken touched the Scorch Release, their tips carbonized and fell away.
However, Uchiha Sasuke did not stop, frantically showering Akimichi Denji with more shuriken.
Though this wasn't a fight to the death, he could at least stall for time.
As long as I have time, I can learn this ninjutsu of his!
Uchiha Sasuke's lips curled upward; he had found the formula for victory!
He had just observed the flow of Akimichi Denji's chakra. Give him a moment, and he could master this technique!
One of the functions of the Sharingan was to see through chakra flow and mimic or copy an opponent's ninjutsu. The most famous example in the original history was the "Copy Ninja" Kakashi, who had copied and learned over ten thousand types of ninjutsu.
Seeing that his shuriken had successfully slowed Akimichi Denji's advance, joy flickered in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes.
Now, he just needed to follow the chakra flow he had observed and execute that ninjutsu...
Uchiha Sasuke attempted it, but his face soon filled with shock.
How? Why is there no effect?
But Akimichi Denji, bolstered by the Triple Strength of a Hundred, had used his Heaven-Piercing Kick to achieve a terrifying speed, and he was already closing in.
Sasuke, with his Sharingan active, barely managed to dodge, cold sweat breaking out on his face.
"What are you dodging for?" Akimichi Denji reached out, grabbing toward Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke dodged repeatedly, not daring to make contact with the edge of Akimichi Denji's fist.
The two remained in a stalemate. One attacked while the other dodged incessantly, like a cat playing with a mouse.
For a moment, neither could gain the upper hand.
But Uchiha Sasuke had his Sharingan active, and the Sharingan consumed a massive amount of chakra and stamina.
Akimichi Denji had stopped using Scorch Release after closing the distance, but if Sasuke deactivated his Sharingan, he would be unable to track the shadows of Akimichi Denji's fists.
This is...
Akimichi Denji sensed Sasuke's fatigue and, grinning, launched a storm of relentless attacks.
His physique, which had surpassed his peers after adding points, already gave him speed and strength far beyond those his age, and with the addition of his monstrous strength, Uchiha Sasuke dared not confront him head-on, forced to dodge again and again.
He was trapped in a dead end from every direction.
Cold sweat beaded on Uchiha Sasuke's face.
