Sasuke Makes His Move

"Sasuke, run!"

Izumi Uchiha turned around, shielding Sasuke behind her as she faced the three pursuers.

She regretted it. She had never expected to run into Sasuke here. If she had known, she would not have cried out for help so recklessly.

If something happened to Sasuke because of her, Itachi would never forgive her.

So she had to stop the three of them and buy Sasuke time to escape.

"Well, well, well! Look who we found! Isn't this Uchiha Sasuke, little brother of that traitor Itachi?"

The three soon caught up and naturally spotted Sasuke behind Izumi. Their eyes immediately lit up, and they grew even more excited.

"Buy one, get one free! Looks like today's our lucky day! If we capture his little brother, Itachi will definitely come looking for us. Double insurance!"

Uchiha Yashiro licked his lips excitedly, as if he could already see Itachi being toyed with in the palm of their hands.

"Don't! Don't capture Sasuke! He's still a child, and this has nothing to do with him! I'll go with you!"

Izumi's little face went pale as she stepped toward the three of them.

She hoped the sincerity she displayed would make them spare Sasuke.

However, before she could take two steps, a small hand grabbed her cold arm. An irresistible force followed, and her body was pulled backward against her will.

"Pathetic cowards who only bully the weak! I hate trash like that most!"

"Don't worry, Sister Izumi. With me here, these three cowards won't make any waves!"

Sasuke stepped forward and shielded Izumi behind him, calmly staring at the three mad dogs of the Uchiha clan before him.

"Hmph! What an arrogant little brat! You're even more obnoxious than your traitor brother. You're really pissing me off. Today, I'll teach you why flowers are so red!"

Uchiha Yashiro looked thoroughly displeased. With a cold snort, he attacked Sasuke directly.

His five fingers curled into a claw as he viciously reached for Sasuke's throat.

Against a brat who had not even graduated from the Ninja Academy, he could suppress him with one hand.

"Sasuke, watch out! Dodge!"

Izumi cried out in alarm. If such a fierce attack struck a seven-year-old child, it might snap his neck outright.

She regretted dragging Sasuke into this more than ever.

But the next moment, the scene before her made her doubt her own eyes.

Sasuke extended his slender little hand and steadily caught Uchiha Yashiro's claw strike.

"H-How is that possible?!"

Uchiha Yashiro was stunned.

It was as though a mountain stood before him. No matter how much strength he used, he could not move Sasuke even an inch.

Sasuke sneered, his eyes filled with indifference, as if he were looking at garbage.

"Spineless bastard!"

"Since Itachi beat you up, go settle it with him! What kind of man takes it out on Sister Izumi? You're a disgrace to the Uchiha clan!"

"No! Trash like you doesn't deserve the Uchiha name!"

Sasuke's voice rang out like thunder.

His eyes flashed like lightning as a terrifying aura suddenly rose around him, sending chills down everyone's spine. It was as if they were facing some dreadful ancient beast.

"Today, I'll clean up the Uchiha clan's trash!"

Crackle!

Lightning Release: Chidori Current!

The next instant, blinding lightning erupted from Sasuke's hand.

The flashing electric light illuminated the previously dim alley.

He grabbed Uchiha Yashiro's wrist with a backhanded motion.

In an instant, the terrifying lightning transformed into countless thunder snakes that raced up his arm and spread throughout Uchiha Yashiro's entire body.

The attack came too suddenly. Yashiro did not even have time to scream before he was electrocuted black and crisp, smoke rising from his entire body.

He was already breathing more out than in.

"Hmph! A piece of trash that can't even withstand one percent of my power dares bark in front of me?"

Sasuke glanced disdainfully at the lump of charred coal in his hand, then casually tossed it away like garbage.

By sheer coincidence, it landed right in a trash can not far away.

Sasuke clapped his hands and calmly looked at the remaining two.

Tekka Uchiha and Inabi Uchiha stood frozen in shock, feeling as though they were dreaming.

He had been instantly defeated in a single strike!

Defeated that easily!

Uchiha Yashiro was the strongest of the three. How could he have been instantly defeated by a brat who had not even graduated from the Ninja Academy?

They could not believe what they were seeing was real!

"This..."

Izumi covered her mouth with both hands, her face also filled with disbelief.

Sasuke... When had he become so strong? He could actually instantly defeat a Jonin!

"Y-You... Who are you really? Why are you pretending to be Uchiha Sasuke to toy with us?!"

Inabi and Tekka quickly recovered from their shock.

They backed away from Sasuke while demanding an answer.

A seven-year-old matching a Jonin? How could something so absurd exist?

Therefore, the Sasuke before them had to be an impostor!

"Speak! What is your purpose in impersonating the clan head's son and infiltrating this place? Otherwise, when the clan's experts arrive, you'll regret it!"

Sasuke could not be bothered with nonsense. His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

He was not someone who liked to waste words, especially not on insignificant lackeys like them. That would be a complete waste of time.

"H-He disappeared!"

"W-Where is he?"

Two pairs of scarlet Sharingan spun wildly, yet they could not catch even a trace of Sasuke's figure.

Just then—

A fist abruptly appeared before Inabi Uchiha.

"What?!"

Before Inabi could be surprised by the sudden attack, instinct had already made him cross his arms over his chest.

The next moment—

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

H-How could his strength be so great?!

With that question in his mind, Inabi's arms shattered, and his whole body was sent flying.

With a loud bang, he slammed into a stone wall and passed out on the spot!

Another companion had been instantly defeated before his eyes. Tekka Uchiha's throat bobbed as he swallowed hard.

A powerhouse!

The other party was absolutely a powerhouse!

His strength had at least reached the level of an Elite Jonin!

When Tekka saw Sasuke's calm, unruffled gaze turn toward him, he shuddered.

He immediately made the most sensible choice.

Bang!

His knees struck the ground with a dull thud!

He chose to kneel and beg for mercy!

"I-I'm sorry! I was wrong! I shouldn't have come looking for trouble. Please spare me!"

Tekka Uchiha wore a look of deep remorse as he frantically begged Sasuke for mercy.

The more arrogant he had been before, the more pathetic he looked now!

"Please, let me go! I'll never dare do it again!"

He was truly terrified. Even Uchiha Yashiro, whose strength had reached the Jonin level, had been instantly defeated. How could he, with only Chunin-level strength, possibly fare any better?

By now, he had completely lost any intention of fighting back.

As for personal dignity, the Uchiha clan's honor, and all that... none of it was worth mentioning compared to his own life!

Sasuke remained expressionless, as if he had heard nothing, and approached him step by step.

Tekka Uchiha's expression changed. He knew Sasuke was ruthless and would not show mercy simply because an enemy begged.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he abruptly turned and began frantically kowtowing to Izumi Uchiha.

"Izumi! For the sake of us being from the same clan, please forgive me! And Yashiro was the one who egged me on! I never truly wanted to come and cause you trouble!"

"Please spare me, Izumi!"

Tekka Uchiha was weeping miserably, looking utterly pitiful.

Izumi looked at him with disgust, as if he were garbage.

But she was ultimately only a thirteen-year-old girl, and she was still kind-hearted.

She looked at Sasuke and hesitantly said,

"Sasuke, this is enough! We're still inside the Uchiha compound. If the clan sees you attacking other clan members, it'll cause a lot of trouble too!"

"Fine! For Sister Izumi's sake, I'll spare your worthless life. I hope you grow a brain next time and don't do something this stupid again. Otherwise, even ten lives won't be enough for me to kill!"

Sasuke nodded without hesitation.

He did not care about small fry like this. They could not stir up any real trouble.

Besides, they were inside the Uchiha compound. Acting openly here would indeed leave a bad impression.

"Remember, don't cause trouble for Itachi again either!"

Izumi added another warning.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Tekka Uchiha nodded repeatedly.

However, as he watched the two of them walk away, his eyes suddenly turned crimson. His Three-Tomoe Sharingan glowed blood-red, as though endless fury were burning within them.

His expression also became incomparably vicious as a fierce aura spread around him!

Damn it!

Damn it!

They were just two little brats, yet they had forced him to kneel!

Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!

He had to find a chance to take revenge!

Just as he was planning his revenge, darkness suddenly fell over his vision, followed by agonizing pain spreading through his entire body.

"Urgh... Aah! My eyes!"

Sasuke calmly withdrew his two-finger strike and said coldly,

"Watch your eyes, trash!"

Sasuke had already walked some distance away when he suddenly sensed overwhelming malice. He immediately turned back and crippled Tekka Uchiha's eyes!

"I was already planning to spare you, but you didn't know what was good for you. You still dared to direct malice at me. You're asking to die!"

Sasuke spoke indifferently.

"N-No, you misunderstand! I... I wasn't targeting you!"

Tekka Uchiha endured the pain of losing his sight and said in a trembling voice,

"I... I was only angry at that idiot Yashiro's foolish actions, and..."

Bang!

Sasuke had no interest in listening to his nonsense. He kicked him more than ten meters away, then turned and left without caring whether he lived or died.
