You can go crazy all you want!

Why provoke Sasuke, who has such a stubborn temper? Now I'm stuck here starving too!

However, a clear sense of worry could still be seen in his eyes.

It wasn't just the boy who was recklessly overdrawing his power to protect his family that was causing concern; it was also the little guy who was now consumed by hatred, rejected by his clan, and living only to kill one person.

These two young guys are very similar to my younger self.

‘Crack. ’

Just then, a crisp snapping sound came from the dim forest.

It sounded like a tree branch being broken.

The sudden sound, coupled with the dim lighting, immediately made Kakashi Hatake squint and become alert.

Although Konoha has a barrier team and ninjas on duty to guard it.

However, this does not mean that it is absolutely safe inside Konoha.

Those guys from Hidden Cloud Village love to infiltrate other forces to steal secret techniques. Even as 'Kage', they'll shamelessly go and plunder the secret techniques of smaller forces themselves.

However, the newcomer did not seem to intend to conceal their presence.

"I didn't expect that there would still be people training here so late."

A young man dressed in a white training uniform with thick eyebrows appeared in their field of vision, staring intently at Uchiha Sasuke, who was pounding on a wooden stake.

His face held a solemn respect, as well as a hint of inexplicable annoyance.

"It seems my cultivation is still insufficient!"

"Thank you for bringing me back to my senses."

After finishing speaking to himself, the little guy suddenly bowed slightly in Sasuke's direction.

This may be the most direct expression of his respect.

However, Sasuke Uchiha seemed to ignore such sounds and continued to bombard the wooden stake in front of him at his own pace.

In his eyes, all he saw was Uchiha Ara's indifferent departure and the Sarutobi clan, which had been completely wiped out!

'not enough. '

'not enough! ’

'His strength is not enough at all!!'

His emotions were inexplicably stirred, and a crimson glint appeared in Sasuke's eyes as he unleashed a punch filled with countless complex emotions.

'Snap!'

The wooden pillar, which had accumulated countless marks, was pierced through by this punch, and at the same time, sharp wooden splinters left bloody marks on his arm.

However, when he pulled back his arm to practice punching again, he suddenly found that his entire palm and arm were trembling and pleading.

I want to earn some rest time!

"hateful!"

Unable to throw a punch, he finally couldn't hold back his frustration and let out a low growl!

'Why? ’

Why am I so weak?!

A frantic internal struggle of self-questioning and inquiries roared within him.

This situation is like a small beast trapped in a hunter's snare, deep in a cage of despair, letting out an unwilling roar!

Such an action, such a roar that concealed his unwillingness, made Locke Lee, who was about to leave, stop in his tracks. His dark eyes stared straight at the peer who was holding his arm tightly.

A strange sense of empathy welled up within me.

He then straightened up, stood upright, and began to speak to himself again, this time in a more formal manner.

"My name is Rock Lee, a fourth-year student."

"You're Uchiha Sasuke from the Uchiha clan, right?"

Upon hearing his name mentioned, Sasuke Uchiha slightly restrained his madness and turned his gaze slightly to the side, his scarlet pupils etched with black tomoe.

"Get out of here if you don't want a beating!"

He growled menacingly.

It seemed that he did not want to show his disheveled state to others.

Hear the sound.

Locke Lee showed no displeasure; his face remained calm and respectful.

"I have always looked forward to the day when I could fight you, who Iruka-sensei called a genius and who possesses the best bloodline limit, the Sharingan."

"but......."

His voice trailed off slightly, and his gaze fell on the other person's trembling arm.

"However, now doesn't seem like the right time."

Such a reply, coupled with that clear gaze, immediately caused Uchiha Sasuke's mental state to collapse again. The scarlet light in his eyes grew even stronger, and he turned his body to the side, wanting to fight and teach this inexplicable guy a lesson!

"You kid......."

But before the threatening words could even finish, the strange boy who was looking at him from afar spoke again:

“I completely understand your eagerness to gain power.”

"Me too, I desperately want to gain power."

For some reason, these words calmed Sasuke Uchiha down a little.

Meanwhile, the man continued speaking:

"Because I want to prove that even if I don't know ninjutsu or genjutsu, I can still become an excellent ninja."

"Well then, that's enough for today. I look forward to our battle once you've recovered from your injuries."

After declaring war, Locke Lee turned and left.

However, before he could take a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

"I really envy you, having a mentor who can protect you."

After saying that, Li left without looking back.

No.

It cannot be said that they left.

It means returning to the previous training location.

Since even geniuses are still working hard, how can I slack off?

Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha fell silent and subconsciously looked towards where Kakashi Hatake was.

But, not bad.

The man was still reading his book in the tree, seemingly unaware of what was happening below.

Chapter 149 Who Needs Your Protection?

The Uchiha clan, which has been silent and repressed for a long time, is not quiet now.

A group of little guys dressed in wartime ninja uniforms and carrying ninja bags knelt outside a deserted house.

Nai Shu, Xin Yan, and Lin Huo were positioned at the very front of these little guys, also kneeling in a half-kneeling posture.

They are all waiting.

They willingly awaited the punishment from the clan chief.

Even during this waiting period, some children cried silently again.

This was the first and only time in a year that they had felt the strength of their family and experienced their heartfelt care!

This young clan leader went to stand up for them who were being bullied!

As the sun set and they returned from their training grounds without seeing the clan leader, these perceptive little ones immediately guessed what was going on.

In an instant, a surge of regret touched their nerves and occupied their minds.

'The clan chief must have gone to seek justice for them!'

An inexplicable sense of certainty surged within everyone's heart.

Because this situation seemed familiar a year ago.

No one organized it.

No one called out.

But as the first person re-tied his ninja bag and clenched his fists, rushing toward the outskirts of the clan's territory, everyone else did the same.

And as they stepped into the main urban area, a flood of information, as numerous as willow catkins, instantly entered their ears.

"Have you heard? Ara of the Uchiha clan, having just returned, single-handedly infiltrated the Sarutobi clan, beating up any ninja he saw. Even Jonin were being sliced ​​to the ground like melons!"

'Yes, he's incredibly fierce; even the Anbu couldn't stop him!'

'.....'

This message immediately made the little ones quicken their pace and purse their lips even tighter.

A ninja from an enemy clan!

They clashed with the Dark Guard!

What insane things did their clan leader do to stand up for them?!

"What do you want to do?"

When the familiar question reached their ears, and when the living clan chief reappeared in their sight, everyone's hearts were at peace.

Even if the other party is clearly very angry.
