Duel

Leaving the Konoha Sannin aside.

At that moment, Ye Feng and Uchiha Shinichi had both stopped because Uchiha Shinichi had used his right hand.

"You really are something. You forced me to use my right hand, so I've already lost. We'll consider the earlier matter settled, and I won't trouble you again." Uchiha Shinichi kept his word and conceded outright.

The students watching burst into an uproar:

"Uchiha Shinichi actually admitted defeat! He's the top student in this year's class, and he lost just like that?"

"I think Uchiha Shinichi was being generous and deliberately going easy on this brat to give him a way out."

Ye Feng's classmates, however, broke into cheers:

"Wow, Uchiha Yefeng is amazing! He actually beat the top student!"

"Uchiha Yefeng is incredible! He's really made us first graders proud."

Kurenai Yuhi also wore a proud expression, crying out happily as though they were all praising her.

Seeing Uchiha Shinichi concede of his own accord rather than shamelessly arguing, Ye Feng's impression of him improved somewhat.

"Since you've admitted defeat, you'd better not show up in front of me again." Since Shinichi had conceded, Ye Feng also thought it was over and turned to leave.

Although he wanted to bring Uchiha Shinichi under his command, it was still too early. He could wait a few more years.

"Wait!" Uchiha Shinichi called out, stopping Ye Feng.

"What? Is there something else?" Ye Feng was somewhat puzzled. Does this kid want to go back on his word?

"I know you weren't using your full strength just now. I want another match with you, and I hope we can both go all out!" Uchiha Shinichi said solemnly.

"Do I look like I have nothing better to do? I only agreed to fight you before because I didn't want you bothering me for no reason. What do I get out of fighting you again?" Now that this trouble had been dealt with, Ye Feng did not want to get tangled up with Uchiha Shinichi any further.

"Judging by how you fought just now, you must practice taijutsu. I have a stone at home that can increase a person's physical strength if they carry it, but you can't wear it for too long, or it causes mental problems. As long as you can beat me, the stone is yours!"

Hearing there was a stone that could increase physical strength, Ye Feng became interested. He was currently in the Body Tempering Realm and needed spiritual objects that could strengthen his body.

From what Ye Feng had observed, Uchiha Shinichi probably would not go back on a promise, so Ye Feng readily agreed.

The watching students looked surprised again.

"Another match? Is there something wrong with Uchiha Yefeng's head? He won once, but instead of leaving while he can, he actually thinks he can win?"

"Exactly! Uchiha Shinichi gave him a one-hand handicap earlier. That didn't just mean giving up his main arm-it also meant he couldn't use ninjutsu. Now that he can use both hands, he can use ninjutsu too. Uchiha Yefeng really doesn't know his limits."

Ye Feng's classmates were also worried for him, especially Kurenai Yuhi. She came from a ninja family and naturally knew the power of ninjutsu. Even the most basic ninjutsu had terrifying destructive power, far beyond what Ye Feng's little body could withstand.

The Sannin upstairs also became interested. "Those two kids down there are about to get serious. This just got more interesting."

Ye Feng and Uchiha Shinichi returned to the middle of the playground and stood facing each other.

"I'll use my full strength with the resolve to kill you. I hope you'll go all out too, or I'll kill you," Uchiha Shinichi warned Ye Feng.

After speaking, Uchiha Shinichi took his stance and watched Ye Feng.

"Then I'll make the first move."

With that, Uchiha Shinichi activated his Sharingan again and attacked first. His speed had noticeably increased as well, and he launched a Flying Kick at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng calmly ducked beneath the kick. His left hand shot out to catch Uchiha Shinichi's lower leg, while his right hand seized the inside of Shinichi's other thigh. He immediately surged forward and rose, using his shoulder to fling Uchiha Shinichi away.

Uchiha Shinichi twisted again in midair, bending his legs to absorb the impact as he landed on a large tree in the corner of the playground. Then he formed hand seals and used the Clone Technique to create two clones. All three charged at Ye Feng.

The three had clearly divided their roles. The figures on the left and in front attacked Ye Feng's head and legs, while the one on the right attacked his chest.

For someone like Ye Feng, who could already use spiritual power to sense his surroundings, the Clone Technique's illusory clones were completely useless. So Ye Feng faced right, utterly ignoring the attacks from the other directions, and caught the right-hand attacker's wrist (note: some people wonder why he always likes grabbing wrists. Answer: both the author and Ye Feng have studied a little tai chi and like its moves that use a small force to redirect a much greater one). He pulled him toward his left, then rammed his shoulder into Uchiha Shinichi's chest, followed by both fists striking his abdomen. Once again, Uchiha Shinichi was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.

Ye Feng knew how much force he had put into his attacks. He had not done much damage to his opponent; at most, it would hurt. Otherwise, a truly full-powered blow could have punched straight through Uchiha Shinichi.

Ye Feng then charged at Uchiha Shinichi, leaped up, and stamped down at him as he lay on the ground. Seeing this, Uchiha Shinichi immediately performed a Donkey Roll, scrambling awkwardly out of the way of Ye Feng's foot.

The force behind Ye Feng's stomp was considerable. It actually cracked the ground of the playground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Uchiha Shinichi's figure was also swallowed by it.

Watching the dust remain still for so long, Ye Feng wondered why Uchiha Shinichi had yet to charge out. Then something occurred to him, and he hurriedly dodged to the side.

Sato Ichiki and Fujii Ichiro, who had been leisurely watching the show from the office, also remembered something and looked alarmed. But then they recalled that the Sannin were present and calmed down slightly.

Light shone through the dust. Then a huge mass of flame burst out, striking directly at the spot where Ye Feng had just stood. It was none other than the Uchiha Clan's Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.
