Counterattack! Uchiha Yao's Fury!

The astonishment on Uchiha Shigeru's face was quickly replaced by anger.

A piece of trash—so what if he had luckily awakened the Sharingan?

Could he really turn the world upside down?

"Hmph, you think you're somebody just because you awakened One-tomoe?"

Uchiha Shigeru's gaze darkened, his voice full of contempt and jealousy.

"Don't think this can change the fact that you're trash!"

With a low shout, he struck first. His body lunged forward, his right fist clenched as he gathered his meager Chakra. He threw a simple, direct punch at Uchiha Yao's face!

He put all his strength into that punch, intending to knock this trash, who had just gotten carried away, back to where he belonged.

Yet, through Uchiha Yao's awakened One-Tomoe Sharingan, Uchiha Shigeru's movements became incomparably slow.

Yao could even clearly see the flow of Chakra through his opponent's fist, as well as the subtle shifts in his shoulders and waist as he exerted force.

This was the Sharingan's insight!

Too slow.

Uchiha Yao snorted coldly inwardly, his body reacting on instinct.

Just as Uchiha Shigeru's fist was about to land, Uchiha Yao shifted slightly aside, effortlessly evading the heavy blow with the smallest of movements.

At the same time, his right leg lashed out like a whip, carrying far greater explosive force than before as it struck Uchiha Shigeru's supporting left knee with perfect precision!

Crack!

A faint sound of bone displacement rang out.

"Ah!"

Uchiha Shigeru let out a scream. A piercing pain shot through his left knee, and his body instantly lost balance. With a thud, he dropped to one knee, cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

One move!

With just one move, the previously arrogant Uchiha Shigeru had been easily defeated!

"Brother Shigeru!"

Uchiha Gang and the other lackey, Uchiha Ken, were both horrified.

They never could have imagined that Yao, the trash they usually bullied at will, would become so powerful after awakening the Sharingan!

"Bastard! You dared to hurt Brother Shigeru!"

Uchiha Gang was both shocked and enraged. His hands swiftly formed seals as he tried to cast a ninjutsu.

But Yao gave him no chance.

The instant Uchiha Gang began forming seals, Yao had already predicted his Chakra nature and the type of ninjutsu he intended to use.

Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Yao formed seals with both hands as well, moving far faster than Uchiha Gang!

He took a deep breath, his chest swelling before he forcefully exhaled forward!

Whoosh—!

A blazing fireball over a meter wide, far larger than any the original owner had ever cast in his memories, roared toward Uchiha Gang with scorching heat!

"What?!"

Uchiha Gang had only formed half his seals when he saw the massive fireball rushing at him. His pupils abruptly contracted, and terror covered his face.

He had no time to complete his ninjutsu, much less dodge!

Boom!

The blazing fireball instantly swallowed Uchiha Gang.

"Ah—!"

A miserable scream rang out as Uchiha Gang flew backward like a kite with its string cut, slamming heavily into the wall. His body was charred black, giving off the stench of burnt flesh, and he immediately passed out.

Instant defeat!

Another instant defeat!

Of course, Uchiha Yao had still held back. Otherwise, Uchiha Gang would likely have been roasted into charcoal on the spot.

The only one left, Uchiha Ken, had already gone pale with fright, his legs trembling like sieves.

As he watched Uchiha Yao approach step by step, those blood-red tomoe eyes looked like the gaze of a death-dealing demon god.

"Don't... don't come any closer!"

Uchiha Ken's voice trembled with tears in it. None of his earlier arrogance remained.

He wanted to run, but his legs felt as though they were filled with lead. He could not move an inch.

Uchiha Yao stopped before him and looked down at him. His eyes were icy, devoid of even a trace of emotion.

"Who was it that called me trash just now?"

Uchiha Ken shuddered all over, feeling a chill shoot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"N-No... not me... Brother Shigeru... Brother Gang said it..." he stammered, trying to shift the blame away.

"Oh?" A mocking curve appeared at the corner of Uchiha Yao's lips. "Then what about the 'protection fee'?"

"N-No protection fee! Lord Yao, we were wrong! We'll never dare again!"

Uchiha Ken dropped to his knees with a thud, tears and snot streaming down his face as he frantically kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The Uchiha Yao before him was completely different from the weak and useless trash in his memories!

The coldness and strength radiating from his very bones filled him with fear from the depths of his soul.

Uchiha Yao looked at him indifferently but did not make a move.

He could feel that the Chunin-level Chakra reserves and physical attributes granted by the Novice Gift Pack, combined with the One-Tomoe Sharingan's insight, made dealing with these cannon-fodder Genin a Dimensional Reduction Strike.

"Get lost."

Uchiha Yao spat out a single cold word.

As though granted amnesty, Uchiha Ken fled with the staggering Uchiha Shigeru, carrying the unconscious Uchiha Gang between them as they scrambled away.

Watching their sorry figures flee, the blood-red color in Uchiha Yao's eyes gradually faded, returning to ordinary black pupils.

He let out a long breath, and his taut nerves relaxed along with it.

Feeling the abundant Chakra within him and the entirely new vision brought by the Sharingan, an unprecedented sense of control rose in his heart.

"From today onward, I, Uchiha Yao, will no longer be trash for others to bully!"

He clenched his fists, determination gleaming in his eyes.

Ding!

The host has successfully counterattacked his bullies and displayed the bearing expected of an Uchiha. Clan Honor Points +50!

Uchiha Yao's Status Panel

Strength: Newly advanced Chunin

Mastered Skills: Three Transformations (Mastery), Great Fireball Technique (Mastery), Sharingan (One-tomoe)

Clan Status: Ordinary Genin

Clan Honor Points: 50

Clan Overall Strength Assessment: Chunin-level (Initial) (Warning: The Uchiha Clan currently faces troubles both within and without. Its overall strength assessment is extremely low, and it faces a massive survival crisis! There is a risk of Clan Annihilation!)

Looking at the system panel that appeared in his mind, Yao frowned slightly.

Clan Honor Points? Clan Overall Strength Assessment?

It seemed this system was not merely meant to strengthen him alone.

"The Uchiha Clan... troubles within and without..."

Yao muttered to himself. Combined with his memories of the Naruto plot from his previous life, a powerful sense of crisis surged into his heart.

After the Nine-Tails' attack, the Uchiha Clan had been suspected and ostracized by the Konoha High Command, eventually even facing the fate of Clan Annihilation!

He had no intention of becoming a victim of that tragic history!

"System, explain your functions in detail."

Uchiha Yao silently spoke in his heart.
