Naturally Evil Brat! Let Me Show You My Will of Fire!

"Bang—bang—bang—!"

Following a series of smoke-detonation sounds, ten cards suddenly appeared in front of Uchiha Jun. Upon closer inspection, over ninety percent of them were fragments!

Yet there was also one ninja character card! And it was a B-rank ninja!

[Obtained Ninja Fragments: [Uchiha Madara (White Mask)]*5, [Uchiha Sasuke (Susanoo)]*4, [Uzumaki Naruto (Ninja Student)]*5, [Might Duy]*5, [Shinki]*5, [Uchiha Sasuke (Sharingan)]*5, [Mizuki (Cursed Seal)]*5, [Ao]*5...]

[Obtained Ninja Card: [Uchiha Sasuke (Naruto: Shippuden)]]

"Woohoo! Massive profit!"

He never expected that the very first tenfold draw would actually yield a full ninja card, and moreover, it was Sasuke from the Naruto: Shippuden era, who ranked in the top tier among B-rank ninjas!

Uchiha Jun immediately stood up from the ground in excitement.

Although it was not Naruto: Shippuden Sasuke in his curse mark form, Sasuke in this form possessed the S-rank ninjutsu [Kirin]!

"Who needs a guidance ninja anymore? I can just solo this!"

Yet even though he spoke of going it alone, Uchiha Jun had no intention of exposing his true strength.

As the saying went, towering trees catch the wind. Have you not seen Senju Nawaki, who was the biological grandson of Senju Hashirama, the younger brother of Tsunade, and had Orochimaru following by his side as a guidance teacher, yet still got blown to pieces by explosive tags?

Being hyped up as a super genius at just over a decade old brought no benefits whatsoever.

Before acquiring Uchiha Madara (White Mask), Uchiha Jun intended to keep a low profile!

[Current Character: Uchiha Sasuke (Naruto: Shippuden)]

[Quality: B-Rank Ninja (Jonin)]

[Traits: Uchiha Bloodline, Avenger's Resilience, Lightning Style Mastery, Lone Warrior's Battle Spirit]

[Skills: Lightning Style: Chidori, Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique, Sharingan: Genjutsu (Hell Viewing Technique), Taijutsu: Lion Barrage, Uchiha Style: Body Flicker Technique, Kusanagi Sword Technique, Fireball Jutsu, Lightning Style: Kirin (Ultimate Jutsu)]

"There are too many eyes and ears here. I'd better wait for another time and choose a secluded spot to test Uchiha Sasuke. Let me first witness Second Hokage's capacity!"

Glancing around at the nearby Uchiha clansmen practicing the Fireball Jutsu, Uchiha Jun chose to swap in [Senju Tobirama (Young)] to conduct his test.

Feeling the hand seals related to water release appear in his mind, Uchiha Jun's hands flew, completing the seals to release the Water Formation Wall in less than a second!

Bo—Snake—Monkey!

"Whoa! Four hand seals in one second! And look at this hand speed! Totally worth it!"

While releasing the ninjutsu, Uchiha Jun marveled at the buff [Senju Tobirama (Young)] provided him.

Not to mention that water release ninjutsu only required three seals to begin with, the sheer boost to Uchiha Jun's hand speed alone had more than doubled!

Originally, Uchiha Jun's normal baseline was around two seals per second, but under the enhancement of [Senju Tobirama (Young)], his hand-sealing speed had shot up to a full five seals per second!

"Water Style: Water Formation Wall!"

"Swish—!"

The next instant, a thick curtain of water several meters high and a meter thick rose violently from the ground, spanning across Uchiha Jun's field of vision like a reversed waterfall!

The current was rapid and dense, forming a solid defensive barrier. The airflow and chakra fluctuations stirred up by the water curtain also caught the attention of the nearby Uchiha clansmen practicing the Fireball Jutsu.

When they saw that Uchiha Jun was not practicing the Uchiha clan's hereditary Fireball Jutsu, but instead practicing the "heretical" water release, it inevitably caused them to frown repeatedly.

If it were merely casual practice of water release, it would be one thing, but the ninjutsu displayed by Uchiha Jun far surpassed the Fireball Jutsu released by everyone present, both in power and scale!

A proud member of the Uchiha, refusing to practice ancestral fire release ninjutsu, and instead practicing water release aimed squarely at countering the Uchiha?

What were his intentions!

Several young Uchiha around Uchiha Jun's age who were practicing ninjutsu stopped their hand seals and cast unfriendly glares toward Uchiha Jun.

Uchiha Ryota, who led the group, sneered. "Heh, I was wondering who it was. Turns out it's this dropout!"

"Let's go! Teach him a lesson!"

The few of them walked over to the waterside where Uchiha Jun stood. Uchiha Ryota looked at Uchiha Jun with contempt. "I thought someone was defiling the Uchiha training ground, and it turns out to be you—a dropout who can't even spit out a proper fireball!"

"Dare to have a ninjutsu duel? The loser has to throw their headband on the ground and step on it three times in public!"

Hearing this, Uchiha Jun halted his actions and prepared to bolt to avoid trouble.

What an idiot, using a ragged headband as a stake. What good is a broken headband? Can it pool together recruitment scrolls? I can't let these stupid fools hinder me from practicing ninjutsu! Let's explore the panel's functions!

Just as Uchiha Jun was pondering how to unlock more functions of the panel, he suddenly sensed several gazes watching him from the shadows, and simultaneously, the panel popped up with information.

[Currently being watched by [Sarutobi Hiruzen]. When character favorability reaches 60 points, you will obtain 20 current S-rank ninja fragments]

[Currently being watched by [Uchiha Fugaku]. When character favorability reaches 60 points, randomly obtain 10 A-rank ninja fragments]

Whoa! Ninja fragments!!

"You actually use the precious headband symbolizing Konoha as a stake? You group of evilly twisted brats!"

"I'll take that!"

With that, Uchiha Jun formed hand seals, and the chakra within his body erupted fiercely!

Uchiha Ryota was frightened half a step back by this sudden turn of events, then grew infuriated from embarrassment. "Stop putting on airs! Fire Style: Great—"

"Water Style: Water Wave!"

The next moment, the very instant Uchiha Ryota spewed out a wisp of flame, a violent torrent surged from the ground. Not only did it extinguish the "Fireball," but the momentum of the remaining wave also sent Uchiha Ryota and his companions tumbling head over heels!

[Used C-rank character Senju Tobirama (Young), defeated Uchiha Ryota (Genin), Uchiha Yoru (Genin)..., obtained 20 combat points]

[Shinobi World Rising Star (500 points), Shinobi World Elite (1500 points), Shinobi World Champion (2500 points), Shinobi World Pinnacle (3500 points)]

[Each time you use a character template to defeat enemies or complete missions, you will gain combat points and unlock Shinobi Way titles]

[Obtaining Shinobi Way titles will unlock more abilities and combat memories for that character template]

On a large tree not far from the battlefield, Uchiha Fugaku, who was observing in secret, narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself.

This amount of chakra... it's getting close to a jonin!

To possess such a chakra volume at this age—with a little cultivation, he might just become a pillar of the clan!

The Hokage's Office.

Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, currently in his prime, was observing Uchiha Jun through a crystal ball.

When he saw Uchiha Jun executing ninjutsu against his own clansman over a headband, the corners of his mouth hooked upward slightly.

"Uchiha Jun, possessing this much chakra at such an age, and with such proficient water release ninjutsu..."

"Most importantly, his regard for Konoha... perhaps he can be recruited. In that case, his guidance teacher..."
