He grabbed the bouquet and unconsciously squeezed hard, crushing the stems of the flowers, his eyes blazing with anger.
Shiranui Sho interrupted him before he could finish speaking: "Enough with the small talk, see you at the training ground?"
"Why don't you dare!"
Uchiha Fugaku met his gaze with a cold look and accepted the challenge without hesitation.
Their gazes met like needles clashing against wheat awns, the tense atmosphere seemingly freezing the air.
……
On the training grounds of the Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Fugaku waved his hand, and several of his subordinates from the police department immediately understood and moved away the targets used for shuriken throwing practice and the wooden stakes used for taijutsu training.
He glanced discreetly at Uchiha Mikoto in the distance, trying to see if she had noticed his over-the-top leadership gesture.
However, what he saw before him made his face even more gloomy.
"Xiao Jun, be careful!"
Mikoto leaned forward and folded up Shiranui Sho's collar, then bent down to check if the supplies in his ninja tool pouch were complete.
After all the movements were finished, she smiled and gently grasped Shiranui Sou's forearm.
She didn't say anything superfluous, only hoping that her beloved would be careful.
For her, winning or losing is not important.
She was naturally happy that the boy was willing to chase away the annoying guy for her sake.
But even without this competition, her heart would not waver in the slightest.
"Don't worry, Mikoto-nee."
Shiranui Sho gently patted Mikoto's arm, her eyes gleaming with confidence.
Since obtaining the Dark Fruit, he hasn't had a moment's rest.
Ninjutsu, Devil Fruit abilities, superhuman strength...
After his promotion to Jonin slowed down slightly, he has once again received a comprehensive upgrade!
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of some Uchiha clan members who were training in the training ground, and they gathered in the direction of the two.
Upon seeing this, a cold glint appeared in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.
Watching a spectacle is human nature, even for the Uchiha clan.
He was initially somewhat displeased, not liking that his personal emotional issues were being taken seriously by his tribe.
But then I thought, if I could defeat Shiranui Sho in front of countless people, it would undoubtedly prove that he was the one more worthy of being chosen.
Shiranui Sho is nothing but a loser!
He walked to the center of the field with a gloomy expression and stood there, staring at the boy in front of him who had just shed his childishness.
"Kid, you're still too green."
He had heard about the other person, and recently he had deliberately inquired about their experiences.
Judging from their battle record, the opponent is outstanding; they are a Jonin who has truly fought their way out of the brink of death.
However, the age gap is like an insurmountable barrier.
Even someone of the same age would inevitably feel pressure from such a genius.
However, that's just a hypothetical situation.
As things stand, time cannot be easily caught up with by talent alone!
Just considering the amount of chakra, it's not something that can be increased in a short period of time.
"Too arrogant, Uchiha Fugaku."
Shiranui Sho sneered, "I don't need to worry about the age gap with you!"
If 23-year-old Uchiha Madara stood in front of him, he would probably feel inferior.
But the 23-year-old Uchiha Fugaku was no longer enough to put pressure on him.
He will only serve as a whetstone for him to test the results of his cultivation, just like the eagle!
"How arrogant!"
Fugaku Uchiha's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and his chest was filled with raging anger.
The next second, as the battle officially began, he did indeed start breathing fire.
He formed a hand seal, and a huge fireball shot out from his bulging mouth and flew away.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!"
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!!"
Shiranui Sho was equally unwilling to be outdone, forming three hand seals and unleashing a skillful Wind Release ninjutsu to counter.
In an instant, a gust of wind spewed from his mouth, whipping up the sand and gravel on the ground and sweeping towards the fireball.
As an offensive ninjutsu, the destructive power of the storm created by the Great Breakthrough is directly proportional to the amount of chakra consumed by the user.
In other words...
After meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki, Shiranui Sho's chakra level was greatly increased, and the power of her ninjutsu was also significantly enhanced!
The howling wind instantly dispersed the fireball.
The solidified fireball transformed into a fleeing fire serpent, then changed direction under the influence of strong winds.
The breakthrough, barely perceptible to the naked eye, instantly transformed into a ferocious storm of fire, hurtling straight towards Fujioka's face.
"What the hell!"
Uchiha Fugaku's pupils suddenly contracted.
How could this brat possibly have that much chakra...?
As a seasoned Jonin, he had naturally fought against many boys of his age on the battlefield.
Unless there is a special constitution, the amount of chakra among ninjas of the same age group does not vary too much.
However, judging from the power of the wind release the opponent unleashed, and the fact that the opponent's face didn't flush or skip a beat after releasing the ninjutsu, it was clear that the amount of chakra far exceeded his prediction.
If Shiranui Sho knew what he was thinking, she would probably grin.
All of this is thanks to the generosity of our ancestor, Kaguya!
On the other side, seeing the fiery storm seemingly engulfing Uchiha Fugaku, Shiranui Sho was not letting her guard down.
The first clash of ninjutsu was merely a test of each other's abilities. If anyone thought they could take down the opponent in one fell swoop, then it wouldn't be Fugaku Uchiha who would be arrogant, but rather him.
A fierce wind swept by, leaving behind a patch of scorched earth, which eventually dissipated in front of Uchiha Fugaku.
As a master of fire-style techniques, how could he be easily stumped by flames?
Bathed in the flames, he had somehow activated his three-tomoe Sharingan, his crimson eyes reflecting the flames, making him look quite ferocious.
Seeing this, Shiranui Xiao's lips also curled into a slight smile.
Inside his body, the vast darkness surged and boiled as if it had found prey to devour!
Chapter 44: Hidden Connections.
"You have no idea of the power of these eyes!"
A cold smile played on Uchiha Fugaku's lips, his eyes brimming with ocular power, giving him a sense of certainty of victory.
Observation, replication, hypnosis...
These eyes bring about a comprehensive improvement in ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, and are also the key to his stable position among the top jonin!
In one-on-one combat, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan provides a tremendous advantage.
The ninja, skilled in illusion techniques, whose illusions were their pride and joy, were utterly insignificant before these eyes.
Even ninjas skilled in taijutsu will quickly be outmaneuvered and their every move will be seen through under the gaze of these eyes.
Aside from some bloodline limits and secret techniques, most common ninjutsu can be seen through by these eyes.
For the vast majority of ordinary ninjas, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is an insurmountable nightmare.
Therefore, the moment Fugaku Uchiha opened those eyes, all the Uchiha clan members watching had already decided who the victor would be.
Except for one person.
"Xiao Jun, you can do it!!"
From the frontmost position outside the venue, a girl's clear and melodious shout could be heard.
Shiranui Sho looked in the direction from which the sound came.
Uchiha Mikoto's fair and lustrous face flushed crimson from the loud shouts. When she saw him looking over, she waved her snow-white, lotus-like arm at him.
After giving a smile in return, Shiranui Sho turned to look at Uchiha Fugaku, who had already broken through the flames.
"Let's stop testing them here and not waste any more time."
"Oh?"
Uchiha Fugaku narrowed his eyes slightly, and with those scarlet eyes, a faint pressure spread out.
He was somewhat puzzled.
Why did Shiranui Sho remain unmoved when faced with those eyes?
As a Jonin of Konoha, it's impossible for him not to know about the bloodline clans of his own village.
Ninjas from other villages know that if they encounter Uchiha ninjas alone and are without companions, the best option is to run away.
But where did this brat named Shiranui Sou get the audacity to tell him not to waste his time?
Since they were in battle, Uchiha Fugaku forcibly suppressed his doubts.
As a qualified ninja, he knew that curiosity was best saved for after battle.
He closed his eyes and opened them again, a chilling chakra gathering around them, and the three tomoe in his eyes began to spin rapidly.
"I can already see your path to defeat in my eyes!"
He stared at Shiranui Sou, his tone icy.
Now, under the watchful eyes of those eyes, every move the other person makes will reveal countless flaws.
He only needs to break through one of these points to win this battle!
To think that one can challenge the might of the Uchiha with one's weak strength is truly ignorant of one's own limitations!
Just then, Shiranui Sho suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.
"Then I wonder if your eyes can see this deep darkness?"
dark?
What is he saying?
Uchiha Fugaku was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what Shiranui Sho meant by those words.
Shiranui Sho smiled and shook her head.
These eyes certainly gave Uchiha Fugaku a lot, but the arrogance that arose from them also blinded those eyes.
"I think perhaps you have some misconceptions about me. Do you still naively believe that you can completely control me simply by looking at me?"
"Let's be careful from now on, otherwise, even if I wanted to hold back, it would be too late!"
Is it just a charade? Or...?
Uchiha Fugaku scanned Shiranui Sho with a probing gaze, but his eyes clearly found nothing unusual.
No!
Suddenly, the pupils of his two scarlet Sharingan eyes contracted, and a bead of cold sweat seeped out from his temple without warning.
He seemed to...see the so-called "darkness"!
Ahead, the young man in the light purple robe took a step forward, his dark purple short hair swaying gently in the breeze.
