Naruto: I Use Chakra to Upgrade Bloodline Limit Chapter 8

Yet no one had expected it.

It took only a single move.

Uchiha Genya had defeated Hyuga Sora.

It was practically effortless.

Uchiha Genya's strength was immense!

"That's it?" Akimichi Chotei, who had just opened a bag of chips, hadn't even managed to take a bite before the fight ended.

Everyone was shocked.

It was too fast.

Student Uchiha Genya was truly too fast!

He was actually hiding his strength! Thinking back to his own foolish attempt to challenge Uchiha Genya, Sarutobi Taro felt a chill run down his spine.

He was grateful that Uchiha Genya hadn't gone all out earlier; otherwise, his own fate might have been even more miserable than Hyuga Sora's.

"Boss, Uchiha Genya is so strong. This stepping stone of yours might just break your foot," his lackey said with a grave expression, already beginning to worry about Sarutobi Taro losing the competition for Hokage to Uchiha Genya.

"Shut your mouth!" Sarutobi Taro rapped the lackey on the head, thinking to himself, You really know how to hit a sore spot.

"Boss, that hurts! Go easy on me!"

"Suck it up!"

Chapter 9: Sarutobi Taro's Heavy Loss

"This kid, he's been hiding quite a lot," Watanabe Yu said, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

That Uchiha Genya could defeat Hyuga Sora so easily proved that his strength was significantly higher than the latter's.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make it look so effortless.

Class 1-3 seemed to have produced a fine talent.

Perhaps.

Could he compare to Itachi Uchiha?

Over the past two months.

Itachi had performed brilliantly at the Ninja Academy.

He was vaguely being called the number one student in the school.

Watanabe Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head.

A genius like Itachi Uchiha wasn't some cheap commodity found on the street; he was a rare find.

Watanabe Yu wasn't angry about Uchiha Genya hiding his strength.

He merely marveled at the boy's low-profile nature and steady conduct, believing he was capable of great things.

If they were the same age.

Watanabe Yu admitted he could never have been so mature and steady, and his gaze toward Uchiha Genya grew increasingly appreciative.

"Uchiha Genya is the winner!" Watanabe Yu cleared his throat and announced the result.

After securing the victory.

Uchiha Genya showed no signs of excitement.

He simply walked silently back into the crowd.

Defeating Hyuga Sora gave him no sense of achievement.

He possessed three Kekkei Genkai.

If he had lost, he might as well have found a block of tofu to bash his head against.

"Inuzuka No, Akimichi Chotei, you two, carry Hyuga Sora to the infirmary," Watanabe Yu sighed.

"I hope this setback will teach Hyuga Sora a lesson," Watanabe Yu lamented.

Although Hyuga Sora was arrogant, he was his student after all, and he hoped the boy would correct his bad habit of being conceited.

"Teacher, can't you pick someone else? With my thin arms and legs, I can't lift him," Inuzuka No pointed at his own small limbs and complained.

"Yeah, Teacher, I get winded just walking two steps," Akimichi Chotei said, his words muffled by the chips he was eating.

Both of them showed equal disdain for the arrogant Hyuga Sora.

"Akimichi Chotei, don't eat while talking to me. You don't have the right to bargain, go!" Watanabe Yu issued the order.

"Fine."

Inuzuka No and Akimichi Chotei reluctantly and with great disgust lifted the twitching Hyuga Sora off the ground. Because the latter had vomited, he looked incredibly pathetic.

"Don't you dare puke on me! You didn't know your place and kept barking, and now look at you, getting beaten up," Inuzuka No mocked, kicking him while he was down.

"This guy is so heavy, can't he go on a diet?" Akimichi Chotei grumbled.

Their words made the agonizingly pained Hyuga Sora nearly cough up blood, but realizing he had to rely on them to carry him to the infirmary, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.

"The combat class continues!"

The subsequent combat sessions lacked the intensity of the earlier matches, and soon, it was time for school to end for the afternoon.

Watanabe Yu swept his gaze across the students.

"Today's combat class ends here. Class dismissed!"

"Yay!"

The end of class was the happiest moment of the day.

The students cheered.

The infirmary.

"Nami, are you feeling any better?" After class, Genya didn't head straight home; instead, he went to the school infirmary to check on Nami.

Many in the class disliked Genya because he was from the Uchiha clan, but Nami was an exception; she had even treated him to takoyaki on the first day of school.

Two months of getting along.

Genya had already come to view her as his friend.

Now that Nami was unwell, Genya felt it was necessary as a friend to visit and offer comfort.

"A medical ninja just treated me, so I'm no longer in any serious trouble. I'll be able to get out of bed and go home shortly. I'm sorry to have made you worry, Genya."

Genya's concern touched the sensitive Hyuga Nami deeply; her eyes began to mist over, and she looked as if she were on the verge of tears.

"Why are you crying?" Genya offered some comfort, then said, "Since we're friends, how about you call me Genya from now on, and I'll call you Nami?"

"Really?" Nami was both surprised and delighted, asking again to be sure, "Are we really friends?"

Genya nodded firmly, confirming it.

Nami treated others with sincerity.

She was worth befriending deeply!

"That's wonderful!" Nami clenched her small, pink fists.

It was clear she was overjoyed.

"Xu... Genya, from now on we're friends. Please take care of me!" She reached out a fair, delicate hand, signaling for a handshake.

"Sounds good, Nami!" Genya reached out his left hand, and the moment they touched, he felt her small hand was as warm and soft as jade.

"To celebrate us becoming friends, when you're free another day, I'll treat you to Ichiraku Ramen!" Nami said excitedly.

"No need!" Genya waved his hand.

"I insist!" Nami was very firm; she was determined to treat him.

"I'm free today," Genya said, gazing at Nami's pretty face with a serious expression.

Ichiraku Ramen had long been famous, and Genya had wanted to visit for a while, but due to his tight budget, he had never managed to go.

Since a generous "victim"... a good classmate was offering to pay, he naturally agreed.

There's no time like the present!

"Uh..." Nami fell silent.

Genya is so direct.

"Then let's go to Ichiraku Ramen now." Nami gave a sweet smile, her heart fluttering like a trapped deer.

Going to eat ramen with Genya.

Would that count as a date?

"You two are going to eat ramen?" Sarutobi Taro suddenly poked his round head in.

"Yes, I'm planning to treat Genya to Ichiraku Ramen. Since my allowance is limited, I can't invite you along as well, Taro. I'm terribly sorry," Nami said apologetically.

Taro, I hope you don't act like a third wheel, Nami thought to herself.

"You're actually letting a girl pay? You have absolutely no class!" Sarutobi Taro said with disdain.

Genya chuckled.

Class?

Could you eat it?

"It's been a while since I've tasted Ichiraku Ramen myself. Tell you what, I'll treat you both," the well-funded Sarutobi Taro said grandly.

During today's combat class.

Genya had shown him mercy.

Sarutobi Taro didn't want to owe him a favor, so he had followed them.

"My appetite might be a bit large. Are you sure you want to treat me?" Genya said, scratching his hair.

"My appetite is quite large too!" Nami forced a smile, while thinking to herself, Taro, I hope you have the self-awareness to leave.

"I am the man who will become Hokage, and I always keep my word." Sarutobi Taro patted his chest, his spirit soaring.

"Alright, then thank you, our future Lord Hokage!" Genya clapped his hands in delight.

"Taro, you actually interrupted my date with Genya; I'm going to get my revenge!"

Ichiraku Ramen was not far from the Ninja Academy.

The three of them set off together.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived.

"Boss, one bowl of tonkotsu ramen."

"Boss, one bowl of chashu ramen."

"One bowl of special ramen!"

"Coming right up." Teuchi the owner hurried to prepare the orders.

Half an hour later.

Staring at the stack of large empty bowls, Sarutobi Taro was stunned, muttering, "You two have quite the appetite..."

Sarutobi Taro counted them carefully.

Nami had eaten six bowls.

Genya's appetite was even more exaggerated.

A total of twelve bowls.

Their appetites were astonishing.

Meanwhile, Sarutobi Taro himself had only managed two bowls.

He couldn't go back on the words he had just spoken.
