Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 38

Wood Release was a trump card that could not be used.

However, the Sharingan was not a problem.

Genya's attacks clearly became much sharper.

Even his evasive maneuvers.

Became far more ingenious.

He forced Shisui into dangerous situations several times.

One had to remember that Shisui was openly recognized as an elite Jonin.

"He actually awakened the Two-Tomoe!?" Shisui had not known beforehand that his opponent had awakened the Sharingan.

Seeing him use it, he could not help but feel shocked.

Three tomoe appeared in Shisui's eyes.

Shisui's attacks became even more fierce and violent.

The situation began to shift.

From being suppressed by Genya, Shisui gradually turned the tide!

However, Shisui did not use his Mangekyo.

Using a Three-Tomoe against a Two-Tomoe was already a bit of a bully move.

If he were to use the Mangekyo as well.

For a very long time to come.

Shisui feared he would not be able to hold his head high within the Uchiha clan.

Watching from the sidelines, Itachi felt a surge of envy as he saw the two using their Sharingan, murmuring to himself.

"When will I be able to awaken the Sharingan..."

The sparring match lasted for a full five minutes.

Although Shisui had used his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, his attacks were skillfully neutralized by Genya every time, and for a moment, the former could not gain the upper hand.

Shisui suddenly leaped back, disengaging from the combat range, and spread his hands toward Genya, saying helplessly: "Let's stop here; you win this spar."

Shisui was much older than Genya.

He had even used his Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

This was already somewhat bullying Genya.

Moreover, after such a long time, he still could not defeat Genya, so he had no choice but to concede.

Genya spoke modestly.

"Brother Shisui held back his strength; otherwise, I would be no match for you."

However, if all trump cards were laid on the table, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose.

Shisui had the Kotoamatsukami of the Mangekyo.

Genya had the Sage Body and Wood Release.

Shisui suddenly looked at Genya solemnly and spoke.

"Genya, I am now formally inviting you to join the Anbu. Do you agree?"

There was less than half a year left until Genya graduated from the Ninja Academy.

But through the spar just now.

Shisui discovered that Genya's strength was very formidable.

Furthermore, the former had already awakened the Two-Tomoe.

He had at least reached the strength of an elite Chunin.

If Genya joined the Anbu, it would be like adding wings to a tiger for the organization!

Although joining the Anbu required the nod of approval from Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shisui believed that with Genya's strength, he was more than qualified to join.

The Hokage would definitely welcome such a talent!

Hearing Shisui's invitation, Genya did not feel surprised; he had already guessed that something like this might happen before the spar.

Shisui's gaze was intense, but Genya did not reply directly, instead speaking of something else.

"Brother Shisui, you still remember the incident two years ago when Root attacked Itachi and me, right?"

Shisui's heart sank.

Things seemed to be heading in a bad direction.

He sighed slightly and nodded.

Genya continued, "It has been two years, and neither Konoha nor Root has offered Itachi and me an apology. Put yourself in my shoes—if you were treated this way, would you be willing to join the Anbu?"

Genya did not directly refuse.

Instead, he recounted his past experiences from his own perspective.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen could not treat issues impartially or hold the scales of justice level, choosing instead to favor Danzo and Root.

Then what reason did Genya have to follow Sarutobi Hiruzen?

Could it be because you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, are a lecher?

Utterly ridiculous!

Shisui's tone faltered; not knowing what to say, he could only speak slowly.

"As the highest leader of the village, everything Lord Hokage does is for the sake of the village. He must weigh many factors before making a decision on many matters."

"But Lord Hokage has never considered me." This sentence from Genya left Shisui silent for a long time.

Genya patted Shisui on the shoulder and spoke with a smile.

"Brother Shisui, I am still young. Let's talk about these things later."

Using his age as an excuse, Genya directly declined Shisui's invitation.

Shisui was very kind and thought only of the village, yet in the end, he would have his eyes gouged out by Danzo and jump off a cliff to his death.

Even in death, Shisui still placed the village first.

Yet the village never truly considered Shisui one of its own.

They merely used him.

Moreover, Shisui was already an adult; Genya knew he could not brainwash him.

If there ever came a day when the two met on the battlefield.

Genya would not show mercy...

"Alright." Shisui nodded, feeling it a pity that he could not recruit this talent for the Anbu.

At the same time, he couldn't help but ponder.

If only Lord Hokage had been more impartial in handling that matter back then, the situation would not be like this now.

Fugaku's residence.

Dinner.

Genya had come over to freeload again.

At this moment, he was devouring his food like a whirlwind, saying vaguely while he ate: "Aunt Mikoto's cooking is still the best!"

Genya's praise made Mikoto cover her mouth and laugh. She picked up a piece of grilled meat, placed it in his bowl, and said with a smile.

"You really are a smooth talker, child. Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Thank you, Aunt Mikoto!" Genya thanked her and continued to stuff his face.

Itachi and Sasuke exchanged a glance, both seeing the speechlessness in each other's eyes.

However, they were already used to Genya's antics.

They could only roll their eyes and pretend not to see.

When he had eaten his fill, Genya put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of water, and said: "Uncle Fugaku, I ran into Brother Shisui today and even sparred with him."

Fugaku was slightly surprised and immediately asked: "What was the result!"

Genya said seriously: "Brother Shisui is very strong!"

Then he added, "But I didn't lose!"

"What?" Fugaku was shocked. Genya had actually managed to remain undefeated against Shisui? But he immediately thought that Shisui likely hadn't used his full strength.

"Shisui is a very kind child, but that pair of Sharingan of his may no longer belong to the Uchiha." Fugaku sighed deeply.

If he had known, he wouldn't have agreed to let Shisui join the Anbu back then.

Otherwise, he could be serving the Uchiha now.

Genya comforted him: "Brother Shisui is kind-hearted and cares for the clan, Uncle Fugaku need not worry too much."

"I hope so." Fugaku sighed.

If the Uchiha had Shisui, Genya, and Itachi—three top-tier geniuses—that would be wonderful.

Genya did not mention Shisui's attempt to persuade him to join the Anbu.

There was no point in saying it.

He would keep it a secret for now.

Konoha Guest House.

The residence of the Cloud Village Delegation.

Toroi, who had been injured, was lying on the bed, his face still pale, emitting constant groans of pain.

Although Uchiha Genya had not used his full strength in that kick, it still caused Toroi to suffer immensely.

"Samui, has any intelligence come back from the Anbu regarding who exactly injured Toroi?" The speaker was a middle-aged man nearly two meters tall, covered in thick muscles and sporting a dense beard.

He was Odley, the leader of the Cloud Village Delegation, possessing the strength of an elite Jonin.

The blonde beauty Samui replied, "We received word from the Anbu at dusk. It was someone from the Uchiha clan who struck him; he is said to be named Uchiha Genya, and he is still a student at the Ninja Academy."

"Good. Since we have identified the culprit, our Kumogakure will not let our face be slapped for nothing!"

"Uchiha, just you wait!"

Hokage Office Building.

Inside a large conference room.

Beside the conference table.

On one side sat the Konoha delegation led by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, with Shimura Danzō to his left and one of the Sannin, Orochimaru, to his right.

The rest were the heads of Konoha's various major clans.

This included Fugaku Uchiha, Hyuga Hiashi, Nara Shikaku, and others.

Behind the Konoha leadership stood several Anbu members.

For instance, Kakashi, Shisui Uchiha, and others.

To show respect to the Cloud Village Delegation, Konoha had even ceded the side of the main seat to them.

"They truly are mountain savages; they don't even have a basic sense of time!" The Cloud Village Delegation was ten minutes late, and Danzō offered a cold sneer, his heart filled with dissatisfaction.

If not for Sarutobi Hiruzen's strong insistence, he would have turned around and left long ago.

"Lord Danzō, you are getting on in years; you shouldn't let your anger damage your health." Beside him, Orochimaru spoke with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
