The surrounding crowd widened their eyes in shock!
"Don't! If he uses ninjutsu now, Hyuga Ruri won't have any room to resist; someone could really die!"
Inuzuka Mi's delicate face was filled with worry.
"This... is no longer a matter for us to consider. The abilities those two possess are beyond our imagination. They are true geniuses!"
Nara Kano shook his head helplessly.
He watched Keigo Uchiha's handsome profile, his hair tousled by the wind.
There was actually a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Could it be... that he believed Hyuga Ruri still had a way to counterattack?
"Are you sure there won't be any casualties? That's Hyuga Tenjin's granddaughter! Even if the opponent is incredibly talented, they're only seven years old, just like us!"
Akimichi Lie's throat bobbed as he swallowed.
He didn't know what else to say.
"Do you think monsters like them can be measured by age?"
Kurama Shimotsuki curled her lips, crossing her arms with her eyes slightly narrowed. "Just watch. I don't think the battle is over yet!"
The situation changed in an instant!
The Phoenix Sage Fire Technique was about to land on Hyuga Ruri!
"Is this all you've got? You've already used Eight Trigrams: One Hundred and Eight Palms, yet this is only the first ninjutsu I've cast. Is this the full extent of Hyuga Tenjin's granddaughter's capacity?"
Keigo Uchiha raised an eyebrow.
His refined and handsome face carried a faint chuckle.
"Tch! You hateful guy!"
Hyuga Ruri bit her cherry lip. She was sharp-witted and realized in an instant that Keigo Uchiha was trying to force her to use her full strength, even though she had originally thought she could win this spar with ease.
There had been no need to reveal her trump cards, but now it seemed... she had reached the point where she had no choice.
"How annoying. Isn't this look just to see what other ninjutsu I've mastered? Fine, today I'll let you know the gap between us!"
She struck a pose with her hands.
She let out a sharp, sudden cry!
"Rotation!"
In an instant!
Blue chakra surged forth!
A chakra shield appeared around her, covering a 360-degree radius and deflecting all attacks; not a single strike could land on her.
But the cost was... all of her current chakra!
Hyuga Ruri panted heavily, drenched in sweat, but she still gritted her teeth and shouted, "See that? This is the gap between you and me. As the granddaughter of Hyuga Tenjin, I have already mastered the Rotation, something even jonin of the Hyuga Clan haven't necessarily learned."
"Yet you... haven't even awakened the Sharingan!"
As she spoke, she lifted her pretty chin, looking like a proud swan.
Oh, my.
Keigo Uchiha's expression was strange; he hadn't expected this little girl to be so haughty.
"Your Byakugan has high purity, and your chakra reserves aren't small, which is why you could learn Eight Trigrams: One Hundred and Eight Palms and Rotation so easily. It's because of your keen observation and perfect control over chakra, but you also possess many flaws."
He shook his head gently.
He remained unimpressed.
Hyuga Ruri's talent was high—so high that even he was startled by it!
Seven years old, and she had mastered the One Hundred and Eight Palms and Rotation!
One must remember that in the original story, even Hyuga Hinata hadn't mastered this technique by the end, which shows just how difficult Rotation is.
She was truly worthy of being the combined bloodline of the Hyuga Clan and the Senju Clan!
"What did you say!"
Hyuga Ruri cried out, her pretty face flushed with anger!
She was a genius of the Hyuga Clan; even her grandfather had praised her talent, yet in the eyes of the boy before her, her strength was not worth mentioning?
"As a ninja, the first thing you should do is gather intelligence! Use kunai, taijutsu, and judge the enemy's strength and mastered abilities!" Keigo Uchiha reprimanded her without hesitation.
"Whether it's the Byakugan, Eight Trigrams: One Hundred and Eight Palms, or Rotation, they are all trump cards!"
"Do you even have any chakra left in your body right now?"
Keigo Uchiha didn't have the habit of coddling others. "You have Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Two Palms and Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms, yet you didn't use them, opting instead for the Eight Trigrams: One Hundred and Eight Palms, which has the highest power and the highest chakra consumption."
"You aren't showing off your strength; you are exposing your own weaknesses!"
His voice was calm and composed.
Despite his youth, he already possessed a certain aura!
His handsome, peerless face shimmered with radiance.
It was enough to make others feel compelled to submit!
For a moment, the crowd didn't even dare to look into the eyes of Keigo Uchiha.
"As for the Sharingan..."
Keigo Uchiha chuckled softly. He instinctively channeled his chakra to surge toward his eyes. His gaze turned gentle, and a strange power began to circulate, manifesting a pair of single-tomoe Sharingan.
Whoa!
Having a system really is a cheat code.
He had only done it instinctively, yet he hadn't expected to awaken them just like that.
"It just wasn't necessary to activate them to deal with you."
The crowd's eyes widened instantly, as if they had seen a ghost!
"An Uchiha Clan member who awakened the Sharingan at seven years old! This is a monster, right!?"
"I heard the youngest Uchiha to awaken the Sharingan was nine or ten! Just what kind of genius is Keigo Uchiha!"
Everyone was stunned.
This was no longer just a genius.
This was a monster!
A monster destined to stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world in the future!
"Impossible!"
Hyuga Ruri's beautiful eyes constricted in disbelief. She had always considered herself the most outstanding of the younger generation among the Senju, Hyuga, and Uchiha clans, but the appearance of Keigo Uchiha now made her look like a joke.
"No, I can already perform the A-rank Rotation, but you only know the C-rank Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, so I am still the greatest genius!"
She refused to believe she was inferior to Keigo Uchiha.
This was something she could not accept.
"Child, confidence is a good thing, but blind confidence is just foolishness. The ninja world is much larger than you imagine."
Keigo sighed.
This girl was perfect in every way.
Whether it was her figure, her appearance, or her talent.
But the only flaw was that she was too tsundere and too self-confident.
He slowly extended his right hand.
The crowd's gazes immediately fell upon his right hand.
"What else is Keigo Uchiha going to do? Could he have other trump cards?"
"Hyuga Ruri's emotions are unstable now; should we intervene?"
Some were curious, while others were concerned for Hyuga Ruri.
After all, they were classmates.
"This is a matter between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans. Their strength is equal, so whatever happens between the younger generation doesn't matter, but if we interfere, the nature of the situation changes."
Nara Kano stopped them.
Even though they were classmates.
The families behind them were different!
Especially since they hadn't established any bonds between them yet!
"Damn you, Keigo Uchiha, I will definitely surpass you!"
Senju Nawaki gritted his teeth, glaring hatefully at Keigo Uchiha's handsome face.
He was the one who should be the most powerful genius!
He was the one destined to become Hokage in the future.
But now, Keigo Uchiha had stolen all the spotlight!
"Storm Release!"
Keigo Uchiha shouted softly. In his hand appeared blue lightning that flowed like water, shimmering with the brilliance of blue thunder!
