Uchiha Shisui

"Attacking a fellow villager and breaking the rules—I require a reasonable explanation for this!"

"Otherwise, Hyuga Kagami, you can go explain this matter to the Hokage himself!"

As an Anbu operative, he knew the name of every ninja in Konoha!

Uchiha Shisui looked at the tall Hyuga Kagami before him, unable to suppress a jolt of shock in his heart!

Wasn't Hyuga Kagami only eight years old?

Why did he possess such intense pressure, and furthermore... his height looked no different from a sixteen or seventeen-year-old!

Those white eyes inadvertently exuded a deterrent force, like a primordial beast from the ancient wilderness, chilling to the bone!

"Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"

Hyuga Kagami's expression remained indifferent, unbothered.

He lifted his gaze slightly.

He did not retreat in the slightest while looking at the Anbu ninja before him!

"Serving in the Anbu, and during the Third Shinobi World War, you fought an entire ninja squad single-handedly, ultimately winning through sheer speed and the powerful genjutsu of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, earning the title 'Shisui of the Body Flicker'."

He spoke, enunciating every word.

"Rumors in Konoha say that Uchiha Shisui, as a genius of the Uchiha Clan, is sharp-minded and a capable assistant to the Hokage."

"Yet, when out on a mission, how could you not even ask about the most basic circumstances?"

Hyuga Kagami sneered: "Is it because... your brain was kicked by a donkey?"

His white eyes were calm.

But his voice was incredibly overbearing!

He was clearly ready to strike at the slightest disagreement!

Seeing Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Lengfeng struggled to stand, feeling as if his entire body had fallen apart, and roared sharply.

"Shisui, hurry up and capture this guy!"

He said with venom: "He is nothing but a member of the Hyuga Branch Family, yet he dares to obstruct our Uchiha Clan—it is a colossal joke!"

"Today, I will let you know that in all of Konoha, our Uchiha Clan is the most powerful group!"

Whom the heavens wish to destroy, they must first make mad.

Hyuga Kagami didn't even glance at Uchiha Lengfeng.

Just how arrogant was the Uchiha Clan right now?

Just like what happened today, even if they wantonly attacked fellow villagers and forced their will upon others, in the eyes of most Uchiha clansmen, this was simply how things should be!

They believed the Uchiha Clan was the most powerful group!

"What a truly glorious clan."

Hyuga Kagami sneered, his expression filled with contempt.

It was no wonder that even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who usually kept up appearances, could no longer tolerate them.

"Lengfeng!"

Uchiha Shisui barked, his face looking grim.

He realized in an instant that his judgment had been wrong!

It wasn't that Hyuga Kagami had intentionally attacked a fellow villager; it was Lengfeng who was in the wrong from the start!

He took a deep breath: "The two of you, I am truly sorry! My apologies! Lengfeng, your injuries are too severe; I will take you to the clan for treatment now!"

Uchiha Shisui felt a headache coming on.

There was a trace of helplessness and sorrow in his eyes.

Why... were his clansmen always like this? Why were they always so impulsive, arrogant, and domineering?

He couldn't help but murmur: "Placing one's own will above others... this is not the behavior of the strong."

At this moment.

He felt lost.

Was what he had always stood for wrong?

He nodded in apology to Hyuga Kagami, then turned and left with Uchiha Lengfeng!

He didn't stay a second longer; Hyuga Kagami's words made his face burn with shame!

"Uchiha Shisui, the man of benevolence—he really is different from the others."

Hyuga Kagami hadn't expected Uchiha Shisui to apologize.

Such behavior would be normal for anyone else.

But coming from the Uchiha Clan, it was as damnably rare as a rooster laying an egg!

Uzuki Yugao hurriedly bowed in thanks, her beautiful eyes slightly red: "Kagami... thank you... Kagami-kun, if it weren't for you, I truly wouldn't have known what to do today."

"After what happened today, Uchiha Lengfeng will surely know when to retreat and stop bothering me, right?"

If not for Hyuga Kagami.

She dared not imagine what would have happened today.

But the next moment, worry washed over her!

"Kagami-kun, I am truly sorry for offending the Uchiha Clan because of me and bringing you trouble!"

The Uchiha Clan was arrogant and domineering in Konoha!

Everyone had been bullied by the Uchiha Clan to some extent, even the Hokage's own son!

"They aren't worthy of causing me trouble!"

Hyuga Kagami didn't care, looking over Uzuki Yugao before him; with bright eyes and white teeth, her purple hair cascading like a waterfall, she carried a faint, refreshing fragrance that was soothing to the heart.

Those crimson lips, like cherries, shimmered with a faint luster.

She possessed a gentle and graceful temperament.

It was no exaggeration to say that with Uzuki Yugao's beauty and figure, she could absolutely crush countless celebrities from his past life!

No wonder Uchiha Lengfeng had tried to force himself on her!

Though it meant jail time.

Wasn't seven years a break-even?

And three years a massive profit?

"They are nothing but bullies who fear the strong and prey on the weak."

"As long as one's strength surpasses theirs, the Uchiha Clan is just a pack of wild dogs that only know how to bark."

Hiss!

Wild dogs?

Uzuki Yugao's beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't help but stare at Hyuga Kagami. His appearance was handsome and refined, possessing an otherworldly temperament, his white eyes always carrying a touch of indifference, as if nothing mattered to him!

He wore the white robe of the Hyuga Clan.

It should have been incredibly plain.

Yet on Hyuga Kagami, it carried an air of dashing, uninhibited style!

Is this... what a real man is like?

Uzuki Yugao's beautiful eyes trembled, and she felt an unparalleled sense of security.

This was something she had never felt before.

But... why had she never seen him before?

She couldn't help but ask: "Next time... if Uchiha Lengfeng comes to harass me again, can you protect me, Kagami-kun?"

"Only true strength allows one to look down on everything."

Hyuga Kagami said indifferently: "Therefore, rather than complaining about heaven and others, it is better to make yourself stronger. No one can protect you forever, not even your parents."

As his voice faded, he turned and walked away.

Protect Uzuki Yugao?

He didn't have the leisure or interest for that.

"What a cold-hearted guy."

Uzuki Yugao clenched her small fists, feeling a bit discouraged: "But since you helped me today, Kagami-kun, it proves... that although you are cold on the surface, you are actually a warm-hearted person!"

Thinking of this.

She was suddenly filled with fighting spirit.

At this moment, a voice full of surprise suddenly came from behind.

But if one listened carefully, one could detect the trembling in that voice.

"Yugao! Why are you here?"

Gekko Hayate's eyes flickered, and he said with a forced smile: "We really are fated, always bumping into each other. By the way... who was that person just now?"

"He looked about the same age as us."

Uzuki Yugao's pretty face remained calm, and she did not answer.

But a hint of disappointment appeared in her beautiful eyes.

He had clearly witnessed everything just now, yet because he feared the power of the Uchiha Clan, he chose to turn a blind eye?

"Yugao, do you have time today? Would you like to... go for a stroll at the snack street together?"

Gekko Hayate had never seen Uzuki Yugao so calm, or even somewhat cold!

He stammered as he hurriedly spoke.

"Forget it, maybe next time. I'm a bit tired today."

After Uzuki Yugao replied politely, she turned and left.

Some people seemed perfectly fine at first glance.

But when someone else appeared.

The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
