Your Confidence is a Little Lacking

The Uchiha Clan compound is located in the northwest corner of Konoha.

Bordering the edge of the village and backed by large mountains, the area gives the impression of being easy to defend but difficult to attack.

However, for Konoha, it is even easier to keep a close watch on the main gate of the Uchiha Clan.

This allows them to stay vigilant at all times against any potential defection by the Uchiha Clan.

After leaving the Hokage building, Qin Yu headed toward the Uchiha Clan compound.

Having lived two lives, Qin Yu has become more cautious.

Yet, he still feels an attachment to this place that stems from the depths of his soul.

Perhaps this is the only thing the previous soul left behind for Qin Yu.

Qin Feng looked up at the simple gate not far away, which was still engraved with the Uchiha Clan crest.

Whoosh!

A sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang out.

Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, flicked his wrist, and threw three shuriken, which transformed into streaks of black light as they streaked toward his side.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Three metallic clashing sounds rang out in succession.

The shuriken were deflected instantly.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" A slightly youthful voice rang out abruptly.

Qin Yu rolled his eyes helplessly. Watching the four-to-five-meter-wide fireball rolling toward him, he moved his hands rapidly, weaving a series of hand seals.

"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

A water dragon surged up, colliding directly with the Great Fireball.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion echoed out, and steam shot into the sky.

"Itachi, that's enough. If you want to fight, let's save it for next time." Like a ghost, Qin Yu passed through the turbulent winds of the explosion, appeared behind Itachi, and pressed down on his shoulder.

Itachi was startled. His hands were still mid-seal, and he had never expected Qin Yu to be so fast.

He had barely managed to catch a glimpse of his movement.

"To have awakened the One-Tomoe Sharingan at only six years old, you really are impressive, Itachi." Qin Yu patted Itachi on the shoulder.

Even the Uchiha Qin Yu of the previous life had cherished this cousin deeply.

Moreover, Uchiha Itachi had always looked after this cousin, who was known for his timid and introverted nature.

"Brother, you really hide your strength well," Uchiha Itachi said, turning around with a hint of displeasure on his face.

Qin Yu rubbed the tip of his nose helplessly and said, "I just don't like causing trouble, but since I couldn't avoid it this time, I had no choice."

"Aren't you supposed to be at the Ninjutsu Academy? Don't tell me you used a Shadow Clone to skip class?"

Uchiha Itachi's expression faltered; he had clearly been hit where it hurt.

"Brother, please don't tell my father..." Uchiha Itachi said urgently.

For Uchiha Itachi, who had just entered the Ninjutsu Academy, he was still an innocent and romantic young boy at that time.

It was only after graduating from the Ninjutsu Academy that his personality gradually became silent; the more he experienced and the more he came into contact with, the heavier the burdens he had to carry.

In the end, the death of Uchiha Shisui led Uchiha Itachi into a complete ideological dead end.

"Don't worry, the fact that your father doesn't come to bother me is already good enough," Qin Yu patted Uchiha Itachi on the shoulder.

He looked toward the woods not far away, raised an eyebrow, and immediately used the Lightning Style: Body Flicker Technique.

"Brother..." Uchiha Itachi had just opened his mouth, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw Uchiha Qin Yu vanish into thin air.

"Such a fast Lightning Style: Body Flicker Technique, even faster than Shisui's..." Uchiha Itachi's expression froze, and he quickly hurried to follow.

As soon as he stepped into the small woods, he heard a cry for help.

"Qin Yu, I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Uzuki Yugao said, holding a Chakra Blade. Her pretty face was dirty and tinged with exhaustion.

"I just wanted to bring you something to eat, I didn't expect him to say I was trespassing on the Uchiha Clan's restricted area..."

At this, Uzuki Yugao lowered her head in grievance.

"Don't take it to heart." Qin Yu shook his head and looked at the three people blocking Uzuki Yugao, his expression darkening.

If he remembered correctly, the leader of the group was none other than one of the deputy captains, Uchiha Seki, once hailed as a little genius, along with two of his lackeys.

However, he had been overshadowed later on due to the sudden rise of Uchiha Shisui.

"Qin Yu, is this your friend? Have you forgotten that those who are not of the Uchiha Clan are not allowed within five hundred meters of the Police Force compound?" Uchiha Seki laughed mockingly.

He had specifically looked for trouble this time just to force Qin Yu to submit to him.

"Uchiha Seki, I recall that there is no such rule within the Police Force. My father would never have established such a regulation," Uchiha Itachi spoke up first.

"Release her immediately, or you will be in violation of clan rules."

The Uchiha Clan had long yearned for the position of Hokage.

Unfortunately, every time a vote was held, they fell significantly behind.

After all, while the Uchiha Clan had a large population and was considered a major clan in the ninja world, they were incomparable to the entirety of Konoha.

Therefore, in pursuit of the Hokage seat, Fugaku had made many preparations.

Regrettably, a genius named Minato Namikaze emerged in the same generation.

With Fugaku hiding his Mangekyo Sharingan, the two were simply not in the same league.

"Hmph, since Clan Leader Fugaku is not here, I am the law," Uchiha Seki said in a deep voice.

"Actually, we are all of the same clan. As long as you listen to me from now on, I will let this matter of her trespassing in our Police Force slide."

"Otherwise, don't blame us for resorting to force."

Itachi Uchiha's expression shifted slightly, and he looked at Qin Yu with a hint of hesitation.

"Itachi, stay out of these muddy waters and just watch from the side." Qin Yu patted Itachi Uchiha on the shoulder and looked at Uchiha Seki. "Is there no room for negotiation?"

Uchiha Seki was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "I forgot to tell you, I was just appointed as an Elite Jonin. Do you think there is any room for negotiation now?"

"An Elite Jonin?" Qin Yu smiled warmly. "No wonder you dare to change the rules on your own; so it's because you've been promoted to Elite Jonin."

"There don't seem to be many Elite Jonin in Konoha."

As he said this, the smile on Qin Yu's face deepened, though a hint of coldness crept into his tone.

"Unfortunately, your confidence is a bit lacking..."

As soon as the words fell, electric arcs began to crackle and pop all over Qin Yu's body.

Bang!

As the ground beneath his feet shattered violently, he transformed into a streak of lightning, crossing the distance in the blink of an eye.

Dozens of meters were covered in an instant.

By the time Uchiha Seki and the others reacted, Qin Yu had already appeared right in front of them.

Lariat!

Qin Yu clenched his right hand into a fist, and without any flashy movements, he slammed it directly into Uchiha Seki's abdomen.
