Terrifying Learning Ability, Itachi's Shock!

"Line up one by one. Let me see the results of your recent training. Xuanyu, you're last!"

Uchiha Zhen looked at the group and gestured for them to line up for testing. Perhaps because of Uchiha Hanjō, he even reassured Xuanyu, "Relax. It's your first time throwing, so don't put too much pressure on yourself!"

From Xuanyu's conversation with those kids earlier, it was obvious that he had never thrown Shuriken before. Otherwise, he would not have said he had already learned the throwing technique!

Next came the Shuriken-throwing test!

Each person had only five Shuriken, which they had to throw at the five Wooden Stakes ahead. The closer they landed to the Bullseye, the more accurate their throwing technique was!

The first to throw was a five- or six-year-old child who seemed to have just entered the Ninja School. Of his five throws, only two hit the Wooden Stakes, and one of them landed near the Bullseye!

For a five- or six-year-old child, that throwing technique was considered normal!

The others threw their Shuriken in turn. The best was Izumi, whose five Shuriken all struck the Bullseye. Three-year-old Sasuke hit two Bullseyes, while his other three throws hit the Wooden Stakes!

"Itachi, it's your turn!"

At last, everyone's gaze settled on Itachi. He was a genius disciple of the Uchiha, and they all wanted to see what he could do!

Xuanyu's eyes grew serious as well!

He also wanted to see just how talented this so-called genius boy truly was.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Itachi strode to a spot ten meters from the Wooden Stakes. With a flick of his sleeve, five Shuriken appeared in his hand!

Xuanyu watched as Itachi's fingers moved!

The five Shuriken spread apart in his palm!

Then,

Itachi flicked his wrist, and the five Shuriken shot out almost simultaneously. Without exception, they struck the Bullseyes!

All five Shuriken hit the Bullseyes at the same time!

The movement was so swift and sharp that even the two instructors beside him could not help but marvel at Itachi's talent. Before long, Itachi's strength would likely surpass theirs!

The other kids looked at Itachi with eyes full of admiration!

Sasuke and Izumi also stared at Itachi, their expressions utterly serious!

Sasuke said admiringly, "Big Brother is amazing! One day, I'll become as strong as Big Brother too!"

"Itachi truly is the genius of our Uchiha!"

"Big Brother Itachi is so strong!"

As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, the other children began chattering and shouting as well, their admiration impossible to hide!

Itachi merely turned away coldly and stepped aside, paying no attention to what the clan members were saying. Perhaps he had already grown tired of hearing it!

"Xuanyu, you should give it a try too!" Uchiha Zhen walked up to Xuanyu and handed him five Shuriken, signaling for him to try!

Xuanyu nodded. He took the Shuriken and weighed them in his hand. They were forged from refined steel, each one nearly as large as his little hand.

They had a satisfying weight to them!

If it were any other three-year-old child, throwing one ten meters would already be difficult, let alone hitting a target accurately.

But he was different. Recently, he had been tempering his body with Chakra, and every cell had undergone the cleansing of Chakra.

Not to mention the terrifying amount of food he ate every day, all of which was transformed into energy to rebuild and alter his body, allowing it to match and adapt to the Twin Pupils Sharingan!

At this moment, Xuanyu felt as though he possessed inexhaustible strength!

Walking into the throwing area, Xuanyu did not hesitate. A Shuriken appeared in his hand, and his eyes fixed on the Bullseye of the first Wooden Stake!

After judging the distance and position, he adjusted his body according to Uchiha Zhen's throwing method and directly hurled the Shuriken.

Whoosh!

A cold glint flashed.

The Shuriken flew past two feet to the side of the Wooden Stake and embedded itself in a large tree more than ten meters behind it, the entire blade buried inside.

The other instructor, who had just walked around to retrieve the Shuriken after Xuanyu was done throwing, was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

That Shuriken had just grazed the top of his head.

He looked up at the Shuriken less than an inch above his head and swallowed in terror.

That kid did that on purpose, didn't he?

Just a little closer—just a little closer, and he would have died without even knowing why.

Looking across the field, he saw an apologetic smile on that childish face.

"How did that kid throw it all the way over here?!" The instructor looked at Xuanyu. His fear had faded, replaced by astonishment and disbelief.

Xuanyu's throwing position was more than twenty meters away, yet he had actually thrown it this far.

And besides,

that terrifying throwing force

had driven more than half the Shuriken into the tree.

Even from over twenty meters away, the Shuriken still had lethal force. In terms of wrist strength alone, even ordinary Chunin might not compare to him.

Unfortunately, Xuanyu's aim was terrible.

"What terrifying strength." When Itachi saw Xuanyu's first Shuriken, he was initially shocked by Xuanyu's power, but soon felt relieved.

That disdainful, indifferent smile returned to his face.

Although Xuanyu's strength was beyond ordinary, if it came down to a life-or-death battle, Itachi was confident he could kill him within three moves.

In the ninja world, strength was not the only thing that mattered.

Compared to the instructors and Itachi, the other children saw things much more shallowly. They only knew that Xuanyu's first throw had missed, and they immediately sneered disdainfully!

"Ahem. That was a mistake. I just slipped up!" Xuanyu laughed. He had merely been testing his feel for it; after all, it was his first time throwing!

Xuanyu quickly took out another Shuriken and threw it again.

This time, he held back some strength and adjusted his feel slightly.

The Shuriken landed right on the Wooden Stake.

But it was not in the center. If the target was divided into Ten Rings, he had only hit around the fifth ring.

Uchiha Zhen was now certain that this kid had never practiced Shuriken before. His hand was far too unfamiliar with them. The fact that this throw hit the Wooden Stake was probably partly luck.

"There are still mistakes!" Xuanyu said as he took out another Shuriken.

Thud! Thud!

Immediately afterward, the third Shuriken shot out and embedded itself in the exact center of the Wooden Stake.

Xuanyu finally let out a breath of relief. It seemed he was not completely hopeless.

Hiss—

That technique

made Uchiha Zhen, Itachi, and even everyone else widen their eyes. Could that have been luck too?

Three throwing attempts!

Xuanyu's throws had become more accurate each time. On the third attempt, he had directly struck the Bullseye!

This...

Had Xuanyu learned to throw Shuriken before and was now playing the pig to eat the tiger, or was his talent simply so terrifying that he learned it after seeing it once?

"It's not over yet!"

Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Xuanyu's lips curved up slightly. He held two Shuriken in his right hand at once!

His little fingers moved,

and the two Shuriken spread apart in his small hand!

"This..."

When Itachi saw Xuanyu's movement, his pupils contracted. His previously calm expression turned to shock and disbelief as he murmured, "Impossible..."

Because Xuanyu was using Itachi's throwing technique at that very moment!

It was exactly the same. The movement of his fingers, the force in his wrist and arm—everything was identical to Itachi's!

But this was the first time he had displayed his throwing technique in front of anyone!

Had Xuanyu learned it?

It was not just Itachi. The two instructors seemed to have guessed what Xuanyu intended to do, and they found it equally unbelievable!

Impossible, right?

Under everyone's stunned gazes, Xuanyu flicked his wrist!

Two cold flashes streaked through the air!

Clang. Clang.

Two sounds of Shuriken embedding into wood rang out.
