Mingyou's Trial

"Yota, do you think all Uchiha are this arrogant? This good-for-nothing second-generation dares to talk to us like that."

"Who knows? Since he dares to be so cocky, let's teach him a lesson."

The two spoke with obvious ill intentions, drawing their Ninja Tachis from their backs, stepping forward to close in on Mingyou.

A smile crept onto Mingyou's lips. In the past, Mingyou would have been paralyzed with fear by the aura of these two.

But now, Mingyou was already Jonin-level, and with the assistance of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, dealing with these two wouldn't be a big problem.

As expected, the two ninjas completely underestimated Mingyou's strength, not even planning to use ninjutsu, simply slashing with their Tachis.

Clang~~

Clang~~

Mingyou also took out a Kunai from his ninja pouch, constantly parrying their attacks.

These two ninjas were probably newly promoted Jonin, but Mingyou found it difficult fighting them.

Attacks that should have been easily blocked were still a half-beat too slow for Mingyou, and he was kicked by one of them.

He should have been able to inflict damage on the opponent, but Mingyou hesitated for a moment, missing the best opportunity to attack.

This had nothing to do with strength; it was entirely due to a lack of combat experience.

Although Mingyou had advanced from Genin to Jonin in just one day, his combat experience was still at the Genin level. This wasn't something that could be easily improved; it required long-term training.

"In that case, I'll just use you two as practice."

Mingyou muttered to himself, not even using the Sharingan, and not caring about the pain from the continuous punches and kicks.

He only avoided the fatal injuries from the Ninja Tachis, doing his best to deal with them.

"Hey! Yota, don't waste any more time with this kid."

"You're right, killing an Uchiha waste shouldn't cause any problems."

One of the tall, thin ninjas jumped back, creating a small distance, and drew a semicircle in front of him with his Ninja Tachi.

"Konoha Style - Crescent Shadow Dance Slash!!"

A crescent-shaped, dazzling blade light appeared in front of the tall, thin ninja.

The blade light rubbed against the air, creating a sharp whistling sound, flying straight towards Mingyou.

You have copied a Konoha Style swordsmanship technique, Crescent Shadow Dance Slash.

"Sharingan!!"

Mingyou gathered the chakra in his body into his eyes, and his eyeballs turned red as they spun, with three black tomoe appearing in each eye.

From the perspective of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he could see the enormous chakra contained in the crescent-shaped blade.

The outer edge of the blade had countless slender, sharp thorns.

A smile appeared on Mingyou's lips. It seemed that the power of this move wasn't the attack strength of the crescent-shaped blade itself.

It was the slender thorns extending outward. Most people would only pay attention to dodging the blade and wouldn't notice the thorns.

If someone was a little slow to react, they would definitely be hit directly, pierced by countless invisible holes.

But with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan's perspective, Mingyou saw all these insidious tricks.

Whoosh~~

Mingyou jumped up, easily dodging the blade.

With a loud crack, a tree as thick as a bucket behind Mingyou was cut in half, and the thick trunk fell diagonally.

"Nani~~ This is... Sharingan?"

The tall, thin ninja was slightly startled. Before he accepted the surveillance mission, he had heard that this Uchiha young master was just a recently graduated waste who hadn't awakened the Sharingan.

"Impossible, it's actually the Three-Tomoe Sharingan."

The short, fat ninja also exclaimed, looking at the three tomoe in Mingyou's red eyes, full of disbelief.

Not everyone in the Uchiha bloodline could awaken the Sharingan, but those who could awaken the Three-Tomoe were definitely Uchiha geniuses.

"Konoha Style - Crescent Shadow Dance Slash!!"

What happened next shocked the two even more. Mingyou, holding a Kunai, waved it in front of him, and a small crescent-shaped blade appeared, flying towards the tall, thin ninja.

"Nani? Why can he use my original swordsmanship?"

The tall, thin ninja was shocked. He was extremely familiar with this move. Although the arc-shaped blade was smaller, that was only because of the weapon.

This blade technique was one he had created after years of research.

It was considered a high-level swordsmanship technique, and it was because of this unique skill that he was able to join Root.

But now, this Uchiha youth had only seen him use it once. He obviously couldn't accept such a bizarre thing.

"Yota, it's the Sharingan, that guy's Sharingan can copy, be careful."

The short, fat ninja warned, holding his Ninja Tachi, staring at Mingyou with vigilance.

"Who sent you? Tell me the truth, and I might consider letting you off."

Mingyou found this amusing. These two really had a superficial understanding of the Sharingan.

The Sharingan doesn't actually copy ninjutsu. Instead, its powerful observation ability allows it to record the methods used to perform ninjutsu through its dōjutsu.

This is simply due to the Sharingan's powerful observational abilities. From the Sharingan's perspective, the speed of others is greatly slowed down.

Mingyou's method was even more absurd. With the system automatically copying for him, he didn't need to use the Sharingan to observe painstakingly.

"Water Release - Water Formation Wall!"

The tall, thin ninja didn't reply. His fingers danced rapidly, forming several hand seals.

He opened his mouth and spat out a stream of water, which grew more powerful as it surged outwards.

In the blink of an eye, a massive wave of water formed in front of him, churning and rolling towards Mingyou.

"Lightning Release - Lightning Serpent!"

The short, stout ninja also quickly formed hand seals. As the wave of water erupted, he concentrated a dazzling ball of lightning at his fingertips.

The lightning extended outwards, coalescing into the shape of a serpent.

The serpent crackled with electricity, emitting a series of snapping sounds.

Soon, the Lightning Serpent dove into the wave of water, causing the churning water to spark with electricity.

[You have copied a portion of overflowing Lightning Release chakra. Lightning Resistance +36.]
[You have copied a portion of overflowing Water Release chakra. Water Resistance +29.]

"A nature transformation caused by combined ninjutsu? Truly remarkable."

Mingyou was slightly startled as he watched the electrified wave of water engulfing him from above.

Covering the soles of his feet with a layer of pale blue chakra, Mingyou leaped onto a large tree behind him.

Mingyou's figure flashed between the trees, dodging all the waves of water.

As the water gradually dissipated, not a single drop touched Mingyou's clothes.
