Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

This unfamiliar hand was powerful, as if filled with determination.

Haneda turned around and was almost blinded by a bright watermelon-shaped haircut.

"I have a bad habit: I want to challenge any genius I encounter."

The speaker was Kai, who held up his index finger and said excitedly.

"How about it, Haneda, stake your youth on a fiery duel with me!"

Seeing that Might Guy, one of his three main targets, had taken the initiative to approach him, Haneda pretended to hesitate, and after a moment, "reluctantly" agreed:

"Alright, Kai, what do you want to compete with me in? Ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, or maybe kunai or shuriken?"

"Forehead……"

Hearing a series of competitions, Kai suffered from decision paralysis.

He thought about it and realized that he wasn't good at ninjutsu or genjutsu, so he eliminated both options.

As for physical skills...

That's what he's best at; he has to save it for last.

After eliminating all options, Kai's eyes lit up, and he looked at Haneda with burning eyes:

"Then let's have a shuriken contest first, Haneda!"

"Okay." Haneda nodded.

"But let me make it clear beforehand, I don't have much time. If you really want to challenge me, then follow along."

Haneda remembered something and added, "Remember to be prepared to skip class."

After saying that, Haneda put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the stairwell, seemingly heading to the training ground.

Watching Haneda's retreating figure, Kai gritted his teeth and followed.

Compared to boring theory classes, a duel with the top genius of the grade, Uchiha Haneda, that's what youth is all about!

Kai recalled the days he had spent using geniuses like Kakashi as his role models and exercising self-discipline.

At that moment, his eyes became incredibly determined.

Defeating Haneda would mean he had also defeated Kakashi—perfect!

We arrived at the shuriken training ground.

With his hands in his pockets, Haneda politely asked, "Would you like to go first, or should I?"

"You go first." Kai wanted to witness Haneda's true skill level in shuriken.

In Haneda's battle against Kakashi, Haneda displayed a level of skill that was different from his usual performance, far surpassing his past abilities.

"Okay." Yu Tian casually took out three shurikens from his waist pouch.

Brush, brush, brush!!

Three whooshing sounds rang out, and all three targets, all three bullseyes, were hit!

At that moment, Kai was stunned, thinking, "Could this be what a genius is?!"

Before long, Kai regained his confidence.

Taking such genius as a goal and setting self-discipline for oneself—that's what youth is all about!

Without further hesitation, Kai also took out three shuriken from his waist pouch.

Brush, brush, brush!!

Three whooshing sounds rang out in succession, but unlike Haneda, Kai's three shuriken only hit the edge of the same target.

"I lost……"

"Yosh! As punishment, I have to run 5000 laps around the school! If I can't do that, I'll walk 5000 laps on my head!"

Upon hearing this, Haneda looked at Kai with some confusion: "Aren't you going to continue the match?"

Kai gave him a thumbs up:

"If we still can't do it, then let's challenge Haneda!"

Upon hearing this, Haneda suddenly had a bad feeling...

Oh no, will Kakashi and Guy's bromance spread to me?!

However, Haneda quickly snapped out of his thoughts and headed out of the school.

The duel with Kai was just a minor incident; today's training has only just begun.

Chapter 026 Unexpected Reward

Arriving at the Uchiha clan's training ground, in the familiar grove.

"Brother Fugaku, I'm here!" Haneda called out towards the grove.

Unlike last time, this time Fugaku quickly jumped down from the tree.

"It's Haneda. Why didn't Kakashi come today?" Fugaku said with a smile.

"Don't worry, he stayed at school to attend classes and looked through some materials about sealing techniques."

Haneda waved his hand, making Kakashi feel awkward about skipping class with a good student.

"By the way, Brother Fugaku, is today's training in genjutsu or fire jutsu?"

"Don't you train your shadow clone technique?" Fugaku retorted.

Upon hearing about the Shadow Clone Technique, Haneda wondered if Fugaku-nii had finally figured it out.

"Shadow Clone Technique isn't too difficult; I'll practice it again tonight. Brother Fugaku, didn't you say you'd teach me illusion techniques yesterday?"

"That's it..."

Fugaku pondered for a moment, recalling his father's words, and then said:

"Then I'll teach you two practical Uchiha genjutsu: the Shackles Technique, one of the applications of the Hypnotic Eye, and the Mirror Heaven and Earth Reversal, which reflects genjutsu."

The art of shackles and can turn the world around?

Isn't this the kind of genjutsu used to instantly kill Orochimaru and Kurenai Yuhi, who were fighting seven opponents at once?

A hint of excitement flashed in Haneda's eyes; he had finally learned something awesome.

"Both of these genjutsu require the Sharingan to perform, and since you've already awakened it, I'll teach you."

"After learning these two illusion techniques, you will have virtually no weaknesses in the field of illusion techniques, which will be enough to deal with most ninjas."

As he spoke, Fugaku had already activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.

He merely glanced at Haneda, and in an instant, the illusion was activated.

Haneda instantly entered a mental world.

At this moment, his limbs were pinned down by four thick pillars, and his body was completely restricted, unable to move.

hiss~

it hurts!

Is the Sharingan's power to control someone with genjutsu just by making eye contact?

Haneda's body trembled slightly, the real pain seeming to torment his soul.

"Feel it carefully. This is an important ninjutsu passed down in the Uchiha clan. Ordinary people cannot access the advanced application of the hypnotic eye."

Fugaku's figure appeared before Haneda, his three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotating, revealing a hint of eeriness.

"Did you feel it? The use of eye power."

"This spiritual world is entirely constructed by me. In my world, all your freedom will be restricted."

Fugaku slowly walked up to Haneda, looked down at him, and said coldly:

"You're trying to break free, aren't you?"

"Unfortunately, in my world, unless someone else breaks in, you can't escape in a one-on-one situation."

Fugaku's calm voice kept ringing in his ears. Haneda raised his head and opened his single-tomoe Sharingan.

but……

Compared to the three-tomoe Sharingan, the single-tomoe Sharingan is too weak.

Through this pain and inescapable despair, Haneda understood Orochimaru's helplessness and fear when facing seven opponents alone.

Suddenly, the four huge pillars disappeared, and Haneda's view returned to the grove.

Lush green trees, birdsong, the fragrance of grass...

Everything seemed so real.

Haneda slumped weakly to the ground, feeling utterly powerless.

Especially in the limbs, it feels like I've had surgery, and I'm constantly in pain.
