Are You Fucking Showing Off?

Keigo Uchiha paid no mind to the people around him at this moment.

Instead, he was continuously internalizing the benefits brought to him by his ultra-high-speed hand seals, as well as how he should deploy and utilize them!

"If I can reach eight seals per second, I could be like Senju Hashirama, able to clap my hands together and manifest any ninjutsu I desire! Right now, at seven seals per second, while I can't quite manage the 'clap and manifest' feat..."

"I can perform single-handed seals for any ninjutsu below A-rank! And for C-rank and D-rank ninjutsu, I don't even need to use seals at all!"

A sharp glint flickered in the depths of Keigo Uchiha's eyes!

Never underestimate the terror of single-handed seals and seal-less casting!

Single-handed seals mean you can keep your hand hidden behind your back while weaving them.

This way, the enemy has no idea you are casting a ninjutsu, let alone which one it is.

And seal-less casting is even more terrifying!

Otherwise, Minato wouldn't have spent so much effort developing the Rasengan.

The boost to combat capability is immense.

"At the same time, because of 'Absolute Control,' as long as it doesn't involve nature transformation, I can perfectly replicate and cast any ninjutsu just by knowing the sequence of seals!"

Keigo Uchiha's gaze was thoughtful.

In other words, if he saw a Rasengan being cast, he could cast it himself.

But attempting to cast Wind Style: Rasenshuriken would be impossible.

Because that already involves chakra nature transformation.

Yet, this was already impressive enough!

"This means that in terms of chakra shape transformation, I have already achieved mastery. There are definitely no more than twenty people in the entire ninja world who can reach this level, yet at eight years old, with the 'Absolute Control' talent, I have already achieved it!"

His gaze was transcendent.

He was very satisfied.

This is the daily life of a cheater!

"I'm feeling restless! Keigo, I want to challenge you!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke said with a smile, his eyes filled with fighting spirit and excitement. "Being able to spar with a genius like you is the only way to truly have a blast!"

Fighting people of the same tier certainly provides a sense of satisfaction.

After all, there is a chance to win.

But fighting Keigo Uchiha might be masochistic, yet it also provides so much insight!

"Me too, me too!"

Gekko Yabu crowded over, saying excitedly: "I want to test my swordsmanship!"

"Hmph!"

At this moment, Kurama Shimotsuki let out a soft huff, moved her two long, slender legs, and slowly walked over. "How could I be left out of something like this? Let's test genjutsu, Keigo Uchiha!"

She took a deep breath.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with caution and fighting spirit!

Keigo Uchiha laughed, "Then let's do it. Let me test the results of your training over this past year!"

He shrugged and smiled.

"Of course, I won't be like some idiot who spent the entire year just practicing hand seals."

Hyuga Ruri stepped forward.

The challenge in her beautiful eyes was undisguised.

She also wanted to know the extent of Keigo Uchiha's progress this year!

"Then I'll be the referee. To the training ground!"

Kamimura Yanoi was full of excitement.

His blood was pumping!

Soon, the twelve Rookies arrived at the training ground. The first to spar was Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who held a black wooden staff and said with a smile: "I haven't spent this past year in vain. If you underestimate me, you're going to lose!"

As he finished speaking.

He burst forward with explosive speed!

His gaze turned sharp in an instant, and the black wooden staff swung down fiercely!

But the next moment, Keigo Uchiha's figure vanished, reappearing behind him like a ghost, impossible to track.

"Your speed is decent, but you still need to improve your accuracy."

Keigo Uchiha chuckled.

"As expected of you, such fast speed!"

Cold sweat trickled down Sarutobi Shinnosuke's forehead. Feeling the presence of Keigo Uchiha behind him, he curled his lips into a smile. The wooden staff in his hand vanished, he quickly wove seals, and shouted: "Earth Style: Earth Pillar Technique!"

Testing had become entirely meaningless.

Keigo Uchiha's strength was far superior to his own.

All he needed to do now was... make Keigo Uchiha look a little more disheveled; that would be enough!

"Earth Style: Earth Pillar Technique!"

Keigo Uchiha let out a sharp shout of his own!

But unlike Sarutobi Shinnosuke, he didn't weave any hand signs; instead, he simply slammed his palms together!

The speed was even faster than Sarutobi Shinnosuke's execution, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't even have time to react before he was violently sent flying, landing in a heap three or four meters away!

He was stunned.

His face was filled with shock and bewilderment!

"I lost."

"But... what the hell... is going on? Why do you know Earth Style: Earth Pillar Technique too?! That doesn't make sense! This is an Earth Style jutsu I developed myself!"

Logically speaking, he was the only person in the world who should know this technique.

How did Keigo Uchiha know it?!

The crowd was also stunned, their eyes filled with shock. "What happened? What was that just now?"

"Did Keigo not weave any hand signs? He just cast the jutsu directly? How is that possible?!"

"No, it's not that Keigo didn't weave signs, he just slammed his hands together and cast the jutsu!"

"Does that even count as a method of weaving signs?"

Suddenly, everyone turned their gaze toward Kamimura Yanoi, hoping for an answer!

There was even a hint of... hope in their eyes!

Casting jutsu without needing hand signs—if they could do that, it would be amazing!

Hand signs were just such a hassle!

"Well... this... perhaps it's due to individual constitution. This matter... it's better to let Keigo explain it to you all!"

Cold sweat streamed down Kamimura Yanoi's forehead as he forced a smile and changed the subject.

How the hell should he know!

He was just an elite chunin.

Just a teacher.

How could he possibly understand this "clap your hands and whatever you want appears" business?

"Tch! So the teacher doesn't know!"

"Hmph, and someone was complaining earlier today that we don't ask him questions, yet now he can't even answer a student's question!"

The group grumbled one after another.

Immediately after, their hopeful gazes shifted to Keigo Uchiha, each of them looking like eager students.

Keigo Uchiha shrugged, unbothered. "Actually, it's nothing special. Shinnosuke just used a D-rank jutsu. Once you reach my speed of weaving signs, you'll naturally be able to clap your hands and cast any jutsu below C-rank."

"Besides, hand signs are useless anyway. What kind of serious ninja uses hand signs?"

"Even the First Hokage didn't use hand signs."

His expression was indifferent, as if he were talking about something as trivial as eating or drinking water.

The crowd was instantly dumbfounded!

Is this guy seriously trying to show off?

He's definitely showing off!

The First Hokage was a legend of the ninja world; it was only natural for him to cast jutsu without signs, but you're just an eight-year-old kid!

"What kind of serious ninja uses hand signs? Is there even a single normal ninja who doesn't use them?"

Gekko Yabu retorted, his face full of annoyance.

This guy was just too detestable.

His ability to show off was getting stronger and stronger!

He couldn't even get a hand on the guy's collar!

And he was a swordsman!

A swordsman whose style was as swift as the wind!

"Don't you all think this guy Keigo is just asking for a beating? I think we should change the format of today's sparring."

Kurama Shimotsuki smiled gently, though for some reason, it made people feel a strange tremor in their hearts.

She just kept smiling like that.

Very gently...

Keigo Uchiha's mouth twitched.

This black-bellied woman!
