Conflict

Memorizing the hand seals and the flow of chakra, Uchiha Cheng made his first attempt.

Without any surprises, he successfully performed the ninjutsu. Although the black color on his arm was faint, he could quickly master it with diligent practice.

Releasing the ninjutsu, Uchiha Cheng wanted to practice a few more times.

However, several uninvited guests interrupted his training.

"Brat, who gave you permission to occupy our territory?"

Four children, seven or eight years old, approached aggressively and scolded him immediately.

"Your territory?"

"That's right, this place has always been used by our boss for practice. How dare you occupy it."

Uchiha Cheng felt a bit helpless; these kids really had no shame. This training ground was a public one, so where did this "whose territory" nonsense come from?

However, he didn't want to get into a never-ending argument with a group of children.

"So I've occupied your territory? My apologies, I hadn't heard that this training ground was already private property. I'll move to another spot right away."

Uchiha Cheng rolled up his scroll, preparing to find another place. There was no point in getting angry with children.

However, the leading child remained relentless.

"Brat, do you think you can just occupy it for free? Which branch are you from? Who is your father?"

Uchiha Cheng didn't want to answer; he didn't want to bring up that man.

"Boss, I know him," one of the children suddenly said, pointing at Uchiha Cheng.

"His father is Uchiha Kenji, a loser who didn't awaken a single tomoe until he was over twenty. His mother is an ordinary outsider."

Hearing this, the leading child looked at Uchiha Cheng with contempt.

"So it's just a loser from a one-tomoe branch, yet you dare to occupy this young master's territory."

He extended his finger, pointing at the ground.

"Kneel down and apologize to this young master."

Although he didn't quite understand it, Uchiha Cheng was deeply shocked.

What kind of Celestial Dragon behavior is this! Are the kids of the Uchiha Clan really this good at playing these games?

In the original manga, in Sasuke's eyes, the Uchiha Clan was always so wonderful. The clansmen were friendly, and the neighbors were harmonious. But what was displayed before him were only a gambling, abusive father and children who bullied others.

But then again, who could blame them when they were young masters of the Uchiha Clan? Those around the strong are always good people, so naturally, Sasuke's eyes only saw good people.

He didn't want to lower himself to the level of a group of children, so he ignored them and prepared to leave.

However, the faces of the children darkened.

"Brat, how dare you defy the boss's orders? You're dead meat; the boss is a direct descendant with three tomoe."

Except for the leader, the three children surrounded Uchiha Cheng.

The so-called one-tomoe branch and three-tomoe direct line referred to the number of tomoe awakened in the Sharingan.

Although the Uchiha Clan did not have the Main House and Branch House system of the Hyuga Clan, they secretly divided themselves into ranks based on the number of tomoe in their Sharingan.

Although Uchiha Cheng was aware of such unspoken rules within the clan and was often discriminated against in daily life, he hadn't expected that this concept of hierarchy had penetrated so deeply that even children were starting to play this game.

No wonder the Uchiha were so out of sync with the village.

Seeing that Uchiha Cheng didn't take him seriously, the leading child was furious, his face turning bright red.

"You little bastard born to a lowly outsider woman, how dare you ignore me?"

A cold light flashed in Uchiha Cheng's eyes. Since coming to this world, his mother was the only person who had been good to him, and he had accepted her as his mother in his heart. Yet this idiot dared to insult his family without restraint.

Body Flicker Technique. He instantly jumped out of the encirclement of the three children and appeared in front of the leader.

"Screw you!"

Thud—

He swung a heavy punch, striking the leading child in the face.
