Is It Full-Power Itachi Today?

Everyone watched as the man, who had been covered in wounds and struggling to walk just moments ago, was now jumping around, full of life and vigor.

"I knew it! Not a single reward from Mr. Zhou Cheng is fake."

"Tsk tsk, the wounds healed right before our eyes. That pill is definitely a life-saving medicine."

"Damn it! He managed to pull such a treasure from a White Blind Box, while I only get common items. Comparing people really just makes you want to die of frustration!"

As for those who had been cursing Zhou Cheng just a moment ago, they felt their faces burning; the slap in the face had come too quickly for them to even react.

Zhou Cheng offered a disdainful smile. They had been watching the scene for so long and still didn't believe it—did they have no brains?

"Those who don't believe me can leave!"

"I let you attack me and even gave you rewards, and this is how you treat me?"

To incite public outrage, one didn't always have to do the dirty work themselves.

"In that case, I'll just set up my arena elsewhere tomorrow!"

Whoosh!

Uchiha Plaza erupted in chaos.

Set up the arena elsewhere?

That wouldn't do at all! How could they let such a good thing benefit others?

Everyone turned their gazes toward those who had been skeptical. If looks could kill, those people would have died a thousand times over.

The skeptics' expressions shifted; they hadn't expected to provoke such public fury. This was dangerous—they might not even make it out of here alive.

"Big Brother Zhou Cheng, please don't!"

Little Sasuke panicked the moment he heard that. If you leave, where am I supposed to go for rapid cultivation?

Opening a blind box once was worth a month of training; even a fool knew how to choose!

"That's right, sir! Don't get angry because of a few bastards; it's not worth it!"

"Exactly! If you don't like it, give your spot to someone else. There are so many people who haven't even had a chance to line up today!"

Even Itachi and Shisui wore anxious expressions. They hadn't yet pulled a solution for the clan and the village from the blind boxes.

If you leave, everything is over!

Tsunade and Kakashi both frowned. The way these people were acting, it was as if they had been brainwashed. If Zhou Cheng were to raise his arms and call for something malicious, it would be a disaster!

Zhou Cheng's lips curled upward. I've got you all right where I want you.

Human nature was just like this: whoever threatened their interests became their enemy!

"Alright, you still have a second chance!"

Zhou Cheng looked at the man opposite him, urging him to launch his second attack.

The man remembered he still had a second chance and his face immediately lit up with excitement.

Will it be something that can make me a ninja?

He picked up the Kunai again and thrust it fiercely toward Zhou Cheng's head.

The posture was one of someone who wouldn't stop until Zhou Cheng was dead!

He was venting the humiliation and pain he had suffered at Zhou Cheng's hands last night.

Zhou Cheng could tell at a glance that this man was petty and vengeful!

No one has ever tried to stab me in the head with a Kunai before. This guy clearly sees me as a mortal enemy!

-90.

[Damage dealt: 90 points]
[Shield remaining HP: 9,999,999,986,165]
[Damage Rank: White]
[Reward obtained: White Blind Box]

Zhou Cheng curled his lip. You'll never get your revenge in this lifetime!

A White Blind Box appeared in his hand, which he tossed to the man opposite him:

"Your reward!"

The man couldn't wait and opened the blind box immediately.

[Money: 1,000 Ryo]
[Host received critical reward: Money 10,000 Ryo]

"Why is it money? Didn't you say there would be things that could make people ninjas?"

"You lied to me!"

His expression changed instantly, and he glared at Zhou Cheng with fury!

In his view, since the box was given by Zhou Cheng, he must have known what was inside.

Why then, did he not simply hand over a box that could turn someone into a ninja?

"You're playing me!"

Zhou Cheng's expression darkened. Damn it, you dare to curse me?

"I have said it before: what you get from a blind box depends entirely on your own luck!"

"The prerequisite for high-tier rewards is dealing high damage. The higher the grade of the blind box, the greater the chance of obtaining a high-tier reward."

"What is your 90 points of damage supposed to count for?"

"You should be counting your blessings that you even got a Healing Pill from that first White Blind Box!"

"Now, get down! There are so many people waiting behind you!"

The man wanted to say more, but others were already shouting at him:

"Kid, get down! Don't waste my time!"

"Otherwise, you'll be in for a world of hurt!"

Zhou Cheng looked over and saw it was a genin from the Uchiha Clan!

He waved a cold-glinting Kunai in his hand threateningly toward the ring.

Others joined in the jeering, and the man had no choice but to slink off the stage.

Another person jumped onto the ring, looking at Zhou Cheng with a beaming smile. With a figure like this, how could one not treat him with respect?

The shield-breaking continued!

During this time, a chunin obtained a Green Blind Box and opened it to find a Small Chakra Fruit. He ate it without hesitation, gaining a month and a half's worth of chakra!

This scene made even more people look forward to their own luck. If they could open a treasure like an eye-awakening technique, they would be set for life!

Finally, it was Itachi Uchiha's turn to step onto the ring.

He leaped lightly onto the stage and bowed to Zhou Cheng first:

"Senior, I have returned!"

Zhou Cheng nodded. Don't disappoint me today!

"Begin!"

"Don't make me scold you today!"

Itachi's expression froze. Senior is still holding a grudge about that.

Without another word, he began to weave hand seals.

"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu!"

The amount of chakra Itachi used for his ninjutsu today was significantly higher than yesterday.

He spat out a massive volume of scorching flames that coalesced into a gigantic Fire Dragon.

The temperature around the ring rose sharply. Those standing nearby were assaulted by the heatwave, and beads of sweat instantly broke out on their foreheads.

"A B-rank ninjutsu, Fire Dragon Jutsu. The learning difficulty is not low at all."

"And a Fire Dragon Jutsu with this much power—even an ordinary jonin couldn't pull this off!"

"This chakra volume... even I feel inferior compared to him!"

"He is only thirteen years old. He truly is a genius of the Uchiha Clan!"

Shisui's eyes lit up. Itachi had grown stronger again, which was very favorable for resolving the conflict between the clan and the village.

Little Sasuke's eyes were filled with stars; his brother was always so outstanding.

The visible right eye of Kakashi shifted. This kid... how long has he been in the Anbu, and he's already grown this rapidly?

Tsunade frowned slightly. Another genius. I hope he doesn't go to extremes.

The Fire Dragon clamped its jaws around Zhou Cheng.

Many people's expressions changed at this sight.

Standing perfectly still and letting the Fire Dragon Jutsu hit him—would he really be alright?

But the scene that followed left them all dumbfounded.

They saw that after the Fire Dragon bit down on Zhou Cheng, it could not advance even a fraction of an inch further.

Itachi's expression turned serious. He pinched his fingers, manipulating the Fire Dragon to intensify the attack.

The entire ring shook violently.

The Fire Dragon exploded, and the violent shockwave blew the people in the front row backward.

The hairstyles of those in the back were instantly ruined, and their clothes whipped in the wind.

A chorus of gasps erupted throughout the plaza.

With power like that, even a jonin wouldn't dare to take it head-on!

Will Mr. Zhou Cheng really be alright?

The flames dissipated, and the shockwave vanished.

Zhou Cheng stood in his original spot with a faint smile, completely unscathed!

Hiss!

A chorus of sharp gasps filled the air.

"I clearly saw the Fire Dragon strike him directly. With that level of power and the resulting explosion, even a Jonin would lose half their life from such an attack."

"Yet, he hasn't lost a single hair!"

"Terrifying, truly terrifying! He is so powerful that one can only look up to him in awe!"

Itachi's expression turned somewhat disappointed. Is this still not enough?

Just what is the extent of Senior's strength?

Shisui's gaze toward Zhou Cheng shifted once again.

It transformed from respect into reverence!

He would only dare to face Itachi's ninjutsu head-on if he activated his Susanoo.

Yet, Senior Zhou Cheng had stood there without making a single defensive move, and remained entirely unharmed.

Too terrifying!
