In Konoha, the Uchiha Clan might have been powerful, but could they really act above the law?
Did they really think the will of Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, the current Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Hokage's aide Danzo were all worthless?!
This was a street in Konoha. It might have been a little out of the way, but so what?
Uya gave only a calm reply.
"On what grounds?"
"On the grounds that you beat my younger brother Izumiya and provoked the Uchiha Clan."
Seeing Uya's attitude, a trace of anger immediately appeared on Uchiha Kan's face. With a cold snort, he actually threw a punch straight at Uya.
This guy really dared to attack him in the street!
Even Uya had not quite expected the Uchiha Clan to have grown this arrogant.
But... he actually dared to fight him at close range. So what if he was a Chunin?!
Without hesitation, Uya also clenched his fist and drove a vicious punch forward.
Boom!!!
The two fists collided head-on the next instant.
In terms of Taijutsu speed, Uya was not much slower than Uchiha Kan, a Chunin of the Uchiha Clan!
As for strength, Uya possessed the Quake Release Kekkei Genkai!
His power of tremors was already enough to shatter a C-rank Ninjutsu. In other words, in close combat, every punch Uya threw carried nearly the power of a C-rank Ninjutsu.
No matter how strong a Chunin was, could he withstand a C-rank Ninjutsu with his body alone?!
That was simply a joke!
Crack!
The moment the white halo around Uya's fist burst apart, Uchiha Kan's expression changed drastically.
A terrifying power of tremors spread out from Uya's fist, not only making Uchiha Kan feel a terrifying force transmit through his own fist.
Even Uchiha Kan's entire body began to crack and creak!
It was as though it would crush his body completely!
Horrified, Uchiha Kan desperately mobilized the Chakra inside him, but Uya's punch still blasted him away by sheer force in the end. His whole body trembled slightly, as though he had been struck by Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
Impossible!
A trace of disbelief filled Uchiha Kan's eyes.
He had long since learned from his younger brother Izumiya that Uya possessed a special Kekkei Genkai and was relatively strong in Taijutsu.
But he had paid it no mind.
Strong?
How strong could he be?
He was a Chunin! And a Chunin of the Uchiha Clan at that!
Shouldn't a Chunin dealing with a student who had not even graduated from the Ninja Academy be an overwhelming victory from beginning to end?
So he had never intended to fight seriously at all. He had simply wanted to defeat Uya with a few easy Taijutsu moves.
But he had never expected Uya's power of tremors to be too much for even a Chunin like him to withstand!
He was utterly shocked.
Meanwhile, watching Uchiha Kan, whom he had sent flying with a single punch, Uya's eyes flickered as he murmured inwardly, Chunin really are strong...
Had a Genin dared to meet Uya's fist like that, even if his tendons and bones had not broken, the tremors would at least have made him cough up blood.
As for Ninja Academy students, they would have been lucky not to be killed outright.
Yet although Uchiha Kan, a Chunin, had been forcibly driven back by the tremors, he had not been injured.
This revised Uya's understanding of a Chunin's strength.
"Damn brat... you dare show off a mere Kekkei Genkai before the Uchiha Clan!"
Once Uchiha Kan recovered his senses, he was furious.
By now, people had gradually begun to notice what was happening and were casting strange looks their way.
Although this place was a little out of the way, in a large ninja village like Konoha, just how secluded could anywhere inside the village really be?
Under all those astonished gazes, Uchiha Kan felt his face burning.
For a full-fledged Chunin like him to be driven back with one punch by Uya, a brat who had not even graduated from the Ninja Academy, was nothing short of humiliation.
In his fury, Uchiha Kan still did not use Ninjutsu. Instead, he charged at Uya once more, determined to crush him with Taijutsu. Only then could he wipe away this humiliation.
Uya had not expected Uchiha Kan to dare continue competing with him in Taijutsu.
A trace of cold mockery immediately appeared in his eyes. Were all members of the Uchiha Clan this arrogant and conceited?
"Look over there. Isn't that Kan from the Uchiha Clan?"
"Poor kid. How did he manage to offend the Uchiha Clan?"
People gradually gathered around. Amid their surprise, they all showed a trace of pity for Uya.
Judging by Uya's appearance, he was probably still a student who had not graduated, yet he had offended a Chunin of the Uchiha Clan. How miserable.
With the Uchiha Clan's domineering ways, even if he did not dare kill Uya in the street, he would probably beat him badly enough to leave him seriously injured.
Under their gazes, Uya and Uchiha Kan clashed once more.
Boom!!
Facing Uchiha Kan's Taijutsu, Uya neither ducked nor dodged-or rather, he did not bother to parry at all. No matter what move came at him, his answer was a punch!
One punch was all he needed to break through every Taijutsu move!
So what if the Uchiha Clan's Taijutsu was superb and the Sharingan could see through all kinds of openings?
Against Quake Release, if he wanted to beat Uya with Taijutsu alone, even if he was a Chunin...
He was still nowhere near qualified!!
This time, faced with Uya's fist, Uchiha Kan did not meet it head-on. Instead, he sidestepped while kicking at Uya.
As long as he avoided a frontal clash and did not meet Uya head-on, that power of tremors would surely be useless.
That was what Uchiha Kan thought.
But if the power of tremors were really so easy to deal with, how could it have been hailed as the strongest power in another world?!
Boom!!
Uya's fist struck empty air, yet it still produced an explosive boom!
It had clearly hit the air, yet it seemed to have struck something solid, as though it had shattered an invisible mirror.
Crack!!
Once again, the air shattered and fractured like a mirror. The terrifying power of tremors engulfed the entire area directly ahead and bore down on Uchiha Kan once more.
"What?!"
A trace of horror appeared on Uchiha Kan's face again.
He had clearly dodged it, so why had that power of tremors still struck him?!
Almost instantly, the clothes all over Uchiha Kan's body became creased and torn.
This time, the situation was even worse!
The previous time, he had at least met Uya's fist with his own strength, canceling out part of the power of tremors.
This time, however, he had actually tried to dodge. Without being weakened or canceled out in the slightest, the power of tremors slammed directly into his body.
Bang!!
The power of tremors battered him relentlessly. Uchiha Kan gritted his teeth. By now, he could no longer attack and could only barely cross his arms in front of his chest to withstand the impact.
Yet he still could not withstand that impact!
Boom!!
Under countless gazes filled with shock and disbelief, Uchiha Kan's entire body was forcibly blasted away by the tremors!
