Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 59 Mutual Repulsion

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A whooshing sound came from the air! As Toshiro was running wildly through the woods, he ducked and dodged, only to have a branch stick out from the side.

Without even raising his head, he leaped from the spot. His figure spun and adjusted in mid-air to meet the incoming shuriken attack at the smallest possible angle.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three shuriken grazed his body, slicing through the air. Before he could even feel relieved to have escaped, another shuriken, tracing a wide arc, struck one of the three shuriken that had just passed him at a precise angle.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Three sharp metallic clangs rang out as the three shuriken, already in front of Toshiro, along with another, hurtled towards his heart, throat, and head.

The attack happened suddenly; the last shuriken collided with the first three, triggering a chain reaction that altered their trajectories, sending them hurtling towards him. He was already in mid-air, and the force of the blows was too great to avoid.

Several sharp, hissing sounds rang out as a sword pierced flesh. While still in mid-air, Toshiro's head, throat, heart, and abdomen splattered with blood, and he fell to the ground.

Uchiha Toshiro died.

[Let's use some clever tricks to teach this kid a lesson.]

Behind Toshiro, Uchiha Shigemasa, who had been tracking him all the way, curled his lip, looking completely unconcerned about the student he had killed. Instead, he wore an expression of smug satisfaction, as if he had done something to make him happy.

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud explosion erupted where Toshiro had fallen, scattering smoke everywhere. Only four shuriken remained; Toshiro was nowhere to be seen! Even Uchiha Homura, who had been speeding ahead of Toshiro, vanished in a few flashes, turning into smoke and disappearing completely.

[It was indeed a shadow clone bait, but even that's enough to give that kid a run for his money!]

[The tactics were well executed; the combination of Shadow Clone Technique and Transformation Technique to lure the enemy worked quite well!]

Mr. Shigemasa wasn't surprised at all that his target had turned into a shadow clone. He had been suspicious when he heard the rustling sound as he entered the woods. However, seeing that the students were using tactics quite well, he simply let them have their way and played along.

For him, the outcome of this test was predetermined from the very beginning. If the students performed well and satisfied him, he wouldn't mind letting them take away one or two bells; if they performed poorly, then they would have to suffer a lot.

Just then, in the woods on the other side of the field, Toshiro, who was setting up a trap, suddenly gasped.

"斯"

"Ouch! Is this what it feels like to have a Shadow Clone Jutsu destroyed?"

"What's wrong, Toshiro? Is it over over there?" Homura Uchiha, who was standing nearby, asked when he heard the commotion.

"Yes, it's over! But Professor Shigemasa really went all out! All four shuriken were aimed at the head, heart, throat, and abdomen!"

Upon hearing this, and glancing at Toshiro's still slightly twitching lips, she couldn't help but falter for a moment.

The person who took office was an elder in the family whom I knew.

She hadn't taken this test too seriously. While it wasn't exactly a formality, she figured passing it wouldn't take much effort. However, hearing Toshiro's words, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. This shattered her initial illusions; she might be in for a tough time.

"What's wrong? Is Shigemasa-sensei coming over?" A carefree voice asked, reaching Toshiro and Homura's ears.

The one who spoke up was Uchiha Tetsuya.

It turned out that just as Mr. Shigemasa had stepped into the forest and was chasing after his shadow clone, Toshiro and Homura, who were hiding in the treetops, quickly jumped out and ran into the field to wake Uchiha Tetsuya from his sweet dream.

Meanwhile, the three briefly discussed their plan and prepared to set traps in the woods to counter Professor Shigemasa's formidable strength.

"Everyone, get ready. Professor Chongzheng could appear at any moment. Don't be careless, or you'll suffer!" He gave Zhe a stern warning, but he didn't have high hopes for the outcome.

He was still reeling from the heavy blow his teacher had just delivered. He knew that the pain from the shadow clone would be transferred to the main body after it dissipated. He just hadn't expected that his first experience would leave him so shaken.

Think about what just happened.

When the memories returned after the shadow clone dissipated, the shuriken in his hand had pierced his vitals, causing him pain. He couldn't help but shudder; no wonder this technique was listed as forbidden. Just imagining a hundred or so shadow clones being killed simultaneously was... unbearable.

"Oh! It's happening again? Leave everything to me!" Just as Toshiro expected, Uchiha Tetsuya's arrogant voice rang out.

How did this guy get picked out by the family for special training?

[Such an idiotic statement, is he really an Uchiha?]

[And his name, "Zhe," such a meaningful name, you've ruined it all. I don't even know how to complain!]

After listening to his speech, he silently complained to himself. Toshiro, with a blank expression, quickened his pace and glanced at Uchiha Homura.

"Keep an eye on your husky, he's shocked me!" ⊙﹏⊙|||

Seeing Toshiro's gaze, Homura Uchiha understood its meaning. However, she also felt quite helpless about her childhood friend's behavior.

From a young age, she loved playing pranks on people, and she tricked almost everyone her age. Many were completely fooled by her, without even realizing it. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were sold out by her and were still counting the money for her.

As the pranks became more frequent, the friends gradually realized that the difficulty of the pranks was increasing. Of course, there was one exception: Uchiha Tetsuya.

This girl is so clumsy; she falls for it almost every time. Once, she tricked eight-year-old Uchiha Tetsuya by saying she wanted honey. And then, in the sweltering summer heat, this idiot stirred up a huge hornet's nest, bringing her honey.

Looking at the other person with a huge bun on their head and a silly grin on their face, her feelings suddenly changed! Although she still couldn't help teasing them every time, seeing that innocent, silly smile always gave her a unique sense of peace.

Is this what Toshiro meant by "nurturing"?

And then there's Toshiro, that guy is the worst. Every time I try to play a trick on someone, he sees through it. At first, I even got tricked by him a few times.

This is probably what they mean by like repels like!
