Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 57 Teacher

Next, Uchiha Tetsuya, with his superhuman resilience, engaged in a spectacular taijutsu battle with Shigemasa-sensei.

But as he watched, Toshiro couldn't help but have some questions.

"Speaking of which, Homura, does Tetsuya not know ninjutsu? Why is he only using taijutsu, shuriken, and kunai to attack?"

Upon hearing Toshiro's question, Homura Uchiha glanced at the arena. His eyelids slightly closed, his gaze fixed on the person in front of him, and he answered expressionlessly:

"That idiot must have forgotten to use ninjutsu!"

"Uh~"

[Looks like that guy isn't just hot-blooded, he's the type who gets easily carried away!]

Hearing Homura's answer, Toshiro was somewhat speechless, but judging from her disappointed expression, it was probably true.

"Damn it! Again!"

As expected of someone specially selected by the clan to graduate early, Uchiha Tetsuya's attacks didn't seem to have much effect. However, the sound of each move he made revealed that his strength and speed far surpassed those of ordinary ninja academy students.

Moreover, its resilience is also excellent.

Despite being defeated by Shigemasa-sensei several times, he never gave up. Instead, he repeatedly rose, rallied, and launched the next offensive. Although I haven't seen him use ninjutsu or genjutsu, judging by his appearance, it shouldn't be too ineffective.

"brush!"

The two kunai that had fallen to the ground earlier were kicked hard by Shigemasa-sensei's toe. They shot rapidly toward Toshiro and Homura Uchiha's faces.

"As teammates, we can't just sit idly by and watch our comrade fight alone! You two have observed enough; it's time to join in!"

He slightly turned his head, dodging the kunai that was shot at him. After confirming that Yan beside him was also unharmed.

He turned to look at the field.

With a simple wave of his hand, Mr. Chongzheng blocked Zhe's high kick. Then, he grabbed Zhe's attacking foot, swung it twice, and tossed him far away. He then turned back, smiling at the two of them.

Without hesitation, seizing the opportunity when Tetsuya was absent, Toshiro reached into his ninja tool pouch with one hand, pulled out several shuriken, and launched a shuriken attack on Shigemasa-sensei. Compared to the shuriken technique used by Uchiha Tetsuya, his shuriken attacks were not much different except for their greater speed.

This simple attack was child's play for Shigemasa-sensei. He simply kicked lightly with his foot, sending a kunai flying towards the direction from which the shuriken had been shot. He intended to use the same tactic to break Toshiro's attack.

"Boom!"

"How could that be? It definitely wasn't there just now..."

Just moments before, a cloud of white smoke erupted from the shuriken and kunai that had collided in mid-air. However, the smoke burst relatively close to him, quickly obscuring his figure.

This is also why Shigemasa was somewhat surprised.

Because what was just shot were clearly shuriken, there were no smoke grenades at all.

Just now, when Toshiro reached into his waist with one hand to take out his shuriken, he secretly tucked his other hand into his sleeve and formed a few hand seals, performing the Transformation Technique from the Three Body Techniques.

This was one of the results of his years of research into ninjutsu. Normally, when someone uses transformation jutsu, they use themselves as the medium to transform into the shape of the target. But Toshiro, in this instance, used a smoke bomb as the medium to perform a transformation jutsu, turning it into the shape of a shuriken to attack Shigemasa-sensei, catching him completely off guard.

The inspiration comes from the original work, specifically Jiraiya's Frog Transformation Technique used against the Amegakure ninja. The principles are the same. However, using someone else as a medium for the transformation technique is much more difficult than using an object as a medium, as Toshiro did.

One of his achievements was forming hand seals with one hand.

Thanks to years of uninterrupted daily meditation practice, he has gained some understanding of how chakra flows within his body. After numerous experiments, he is finally able to perform some simple ninjutsu with one hand.

"Yi-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Without any hesitation, taking advantage of the moment when Shigemasa-sensei's vision was obscured by the smoke, Toshiro immediately formed hand seals and unleashed the Fire Release ninjutsu passed down through generations of the Uchiha clan.

In an instant, a huge orange-red fireball rolled from Toshiro toward the direction where the smoke bomb exploded.

At the same time, his feet exploded with power, and he leaped into the bushes behind him. He didn't believe that a simple Fireball Jutsu could take down Professor Shigemasa; the fine tradition of hit-and-run was something he had to maintain. As a PUBG player, he understood this all too well.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed from where Toshiro had just stood. A bright orange fireball, nearly seven or eight meters in diameter and radiating intense heat, ripped a deep gash nearly two meters wide from the ground.

It roared forward, scattering the smoke screen created by the exploding smoke grenade. It flew twenty or thirty meters before crashing into a distant rock wall, creating a deafening explosion and a huge crater. A layer of black scorch marks appeared along its path and at the point of explosion.

"Toshiro! You bastard! It was just a test, and you used a fire jutsu of that scale! You killed our teacher!"

Uchiha Tetsuya stared at the empty center of the arena, and the scorch marks left by the Fireball Jutsu. He could hardly believe his eyes, and turned back to shout in shock.

"Where are they?! They've all disappeared!"

"Idiot! If you don't run now, the teacher will kill you!" A melodious shout rang out.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Homura spoke up to warn him. Although she was also shocked by the astonishing effect of Toshiro's Fire Release technique, she reacted quickly after seeing him hide in the bushes and immediately followed. Seeing Uchiha Tetsuya still fooling around there, she was truly exasperated.

"What?!"

Just then, a hand emerged from the ground at his feet.

"Earth Release: Heart Slash..."

Before the owner of the hand could unleash his prepared ninjutsu, a kunai shot out from the bushes. Its target was the ground, the spot where his arm had ripped through the earth.

Completely bewildered, Uchiha Tetsuya, who had assumed his teammate had killed the teacher leading the group, finally reacted. Instinctively, he pushed off the spot. However, instead of hiding in the bushes, he stared with a puzzled expression at the direction from which the arm had been extended.

With his ninjutsu interrupted, Uchiha Shigemasa had no choice but to reveal himself.

It wasn't until this moment, with his mind still reeling, that Uchiha Tetsuya finally realized that his Fireball Jutsu hadn't hit Shigemasa-sensei.
