Teaching the Brats a Lesson

He could obtain all the resources he needed.

The Uchiha Clan had never been stingy with geniuses, because only this reality could ensure that the Uchiha remained strong in the face of countless hostilities.

Kunai and shuriken training were essential. In addition, the Uchiha Clan's dedicated training grounds were open to them.

These were the standards for ordinary geniuses. Even the most basic Fire Release ninjutsu would be taught by the clan's Jonin.

This alone showed the difference between the great clans of the Shinobi World and civilian shinobi.

Those geniuses received the clan's education from childhood to adulthood, and naturally developed a stronger sense of identification and belonging toward the clan. Conversely, they would feel a certain distance from the village. That distance would not usually show itself, but when conflict arose between the village and the clan, they would stand with the clan without hesitation.

Of course, different factions also existed within the village, especially people like Uchiha Yuu, who turned against his own.

The moment he arrived at the training grounds, several people surrounded him. The leading Uchiha clan member had already revealed a One-Tomoe Sharingan.

Displaying a One-Tomoe Sharingan at that age proved that he was a genius.

However, the mockery in his eyes was undisguised. Seeing that Uchiha Yuu's body had fully recovered—and that he was even more handsome than himself—a surge of jealousy rose within him as he said mockingly:

"Isn't this the piece of trash from a while back? I heard he used to be nothing but a pile of rotten flesh. Even his parents abandoned him."

"Not only that, he attacked and injured an Uchiha clan member. If the clan head had not been so magnanimous, someone like him would have been driven out long ago. How could he possibly still enjoy the Uchiha Clan's resources?"

He had no intention of letting Uchiha Yuu off with a few words. The youth at the front casually waved his hand, and two Uchiha clan members immediately moved to restrain Yuu.

"Ridiculous."

Yuu could not think of any fitting words for this scene. To him, these people were merely relying on their numbers. If numbers alone could deal with him, then a cold smile naturally appeared at the corner of Uchiha Yuu's lips.

"What?"

Uchiha Yan thought he had misheard him. Then, in the next second, one of the clan members beside him who had been about to attack was kicked flying.

"Since you've already decided to make a move, there's no need to hold back."

A trace of ferocity appeared on his face. It seemed somewhat unnatural compared to his young frame, but it was perfectly suited for dealing with this group of brats.

"Get him together! Teach this bastard a proper lesson!"

The charging Uchiha clan members had no intention of showing Yuu any mercy. Two of them tried to circle around behind him, but the instant they took a step, Yuu was already standing before them.

A flying kick slammed into one man's shoulder. Using the recoil, his palm landed on the other man's chest. In the span of two blinks, two more Uchiha clan members were on the ground, wailing in pain.

The few who had only charged halfway froze on the spot.

One youth quietly backed away, swallowed hard, leaned close to Uchiha Yan, and muttered softly:

"Big brother, I don't think we're a match for him."

"A bunch of trash!"

He kicked the useless fool beside him away. Uchiha Yan revealed his One-Tomoe Sharingan, its crimson tomoe staring directly at his opponent.

Besides its powerful visual abilities, the Sharingan also possessed its own genjutsu.

"Yuu, you'll regret ever coming into this world!"

"Genjutsu! Hell Viewing Technique!"

The instant his eyes opened, the genjutsu took form.

As a clan famed for genjutsu, Hell Viewing was one of the most common genjutsu. With the Sharingan's enhancement, even an ordinary C-rank ninjutsu could produce unexpected results.

Uchiha Yan was taking advantage of the fact that Yuu was merely an ordinary Ninja Academy student, without the strength of will needed to resist—much less dispel this genjutsu.

He wanted to humiliate him viciously in front of everyone present and make him understand the difference between an Uchiha genius and the monsters others spoke of.

Thinking of this, a vicious gleam flashed in Uchiha Yan's eyes.

Yuu looked directly into his eyes, but the ninjutsu's effect lasted only a second.

He did not know how to dispel genjutsu, but Yuu had kept his awakened Sharingan hidden. One-Tomoe against One-Tomoe.

Clearly, years of mental torment had made Yuu's will exceptionally firm. The Hell Viewing Technique's greatest effect was to magnify the fear in one's heart, forcing a person to see what they feared most deeply.

But Uchiha Yuu had already lived through the thing he feared most.

He had once sat in a wheelchair like a piece of trash, unable to care for himself. With his parents dead in battle and no one to look after him, every movement brought him unbearable pain.

Even the simplest tasks of eating, dressing, and daily life left blood seeping from his body after he finished them. Not to mention the damage radioactive elements inflicted upon his body, the pain that tormented him every moment.

It was as though a thousand blades carved into his body every single day!

Seeing Uchiha Yuu standing frozen in place, Yan walked directly up to him and laughed arrogantly.

"Trash will always be trash. You can't even withstand a tiny ninjutsu."

When he turned to look at his subordinates groaning on the ground, disgust filled his eyes. He snorted coldly and said:

"You lot had better train properly. You can't even beat a piece of trash. If this happens again..."

Before he could finish, he saw the terrified expressions on the faces of several subordinates nearby. Their reaction left him confused.

"I'm only scolding you. I'm not going to attack you. Why are you afraid of me?"

"Big brother... behind you..."

One person lying on the ground pointed fearfully behind him. Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong. He wanted to turn around and put some distance between them, but then felt someone pat his shoulder.

"That was a very good ninjutsu. It reminded me of some unpleasant experiences, and it also made me truly angry."

After breaking the Hell Viewing Technique, Yuu recalled that deep darkness and pain. His already irritated mood became even more violent.

His right hand gripped Uchiha Yan's shoulder. With only a slight exertion of force, he completely subdued him.

"Are you prepared to pay the price for bearing my anger?"

His cold, emotionless voice sounded beside Uchiha Yan's ear. That chilling aura made Yan shudder.

"You... how did you break free from the genjutsu so quickly..."

The answer was a fierce blow!

Bang!

A figure was sent hurtling away at high speed.

Uchiha Yan only felt as if he had been struck by a carriage. The force was impossible to resist. By the time he came back to his senses, he was already in midair.
