Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 62 Pass

Even with meticulously prepared illusions and perfectly timed techniques, the vast difference in strength remained fundamentally unchanged.

Next, Homura will face the counterattack of Uchiha Shigemasa.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Fortunately, Toshiro's shuriken came to the rescue, interrupting Shigemasa's follow-up attack.

The next part involved the three of them taking turns attacking Professor Shigemasa while covering for each other.

The battleground gradually shifted from the woods back to the open training ground.

During this time, the group took turns using their ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. Toshiro even tried to use the Body Flicker Technique several times to snatch the bell from Shigemasa's waist.

Teacher Shigemasa used the simplest Three-Body Technique and basic physical techniques to deal with their various attacks. His posture was relaxed and carefree, and it was impossible to tell how much strength he was using.

Even so, in just about an hour, the group was already overwhelmed. Toshiro was alright, at least he could still stand.

Uchiha Tetsuya was supporting himself on his hands and knees, drenched in sweat. He was breathing heavily and couldn't stop, his legs were trembling, and he looked like he couldn't even stand up straight.

As a girl, Yan was even less physically fit than the two boys, and she sat down directly on the grass. Her face was pale, and she looked completely exhausted from strenuous exercise.

Am I taking this too seriously?

Judging from their initial offensive coordination, it was already satisfactory!

[And that little girl Yan, she's clearly already planning to give up!]

Looking at the two in front of him, besides Toshiro, both were at their limits, appearing utterly exhausted. Uchiha Shigemasa belatedly realized this.

He was especially struck by the sight of Uchiha Homura sitting on the grass, looking like she was about to give up. He immediately regretted his actions, realizing he had indeed gone too far.

Did I not add enough water?

I remember once when our teacher gave us a test, we were the ones who managed to grab the bell!

Uchiha Shigemasa, clearly lacking experience as a first-time instructor for a Jonin, realized he had overexerted himself. He quickly began recalling past experiences of fighting with his teammates for the bells.

It would have been better if they hadn't been reminiscing, but once they started recalling their past behavior...

Standing opposite Uchiha Shigemasa.

Looking at himself and his two teammates who had already reached their limits, Uchiha Toshiro was also secretly puzzled.

Although Zhe initially acted silly for a while.

However, in later battles, the three were still able to coordinate with each other in a basic way. The tactics they had devised, the initial traps, and their teamwork should have been tested long ago.

Why does Professor Chongzheng still seem determined to fight to the end? Is he really trying to test our limits?

Even Toshiro, who had lived two lives, could never have imagined that Uchiha Shigemasa, a new teacher, would make such a simple mistake due to his lack of experience. This has created an awkward situation, and he doesn't know how to handle it.

The Uchiha clan members were excluded from the master-disciple system. For so many years, apart from Uchiha Kagami, no one had ever served as a Jonin. Indeed, not a single member of the entire clan had any experience teaching apprentices.

His teacher had already sacrificed himself, and there was no suitable person to consult. Furthermore, seeing Toshiro's exceptional talent, he became somewhat carried away by his excitement. Therefore, the current situation is understandable.

"I have a basic understanding of everyone's situation. Starting tomorrow, I will lead everyone to take on some simple tasks. Once everyone is able to cooperate skillfully, we will conduct a round of intensive training!"

"Oh! I've also made a reservation at the tribe's barbecue restaurant. Everyone, remember to meet at 5:30 tonight!"

Forcing a serious expression, he finished reciting the words he had painstakingly come up with to end the conversation. Then, Uchiha Shigemasa quickly used the Body Flicker Technique, disappearing from the three brats' sight in a flash.

"It's finally over!"

Once Shigemasa-sensei left, Uchiha Tetsuya, who had only managed to stay upright thanks to his own willpower, let out a long sigh and plopped down on the grass.

[Was it just my imagination? I had a feeling the teacher left in a bit of a rush at the end!]

Clearing his mind of nonsensical thoughts, Toshiro followed suit and plopped down on the grass to rest. Although his stamina was better than Tetsuya's and Homura's, he was still exhausted after nearly an hour of high-intensity combat.

Shortly after, in the office of the head of the security forces, Uchiha Shigemasa was reporting to his elder brother, Uchiha Shigeyama, on the specific situation of the young members of the clan.

"Although Uchiha Tetsuya is a bit reckless, he has excellent resilience. His taijutsu is quite good, and he can also skillfully use his family's Fire Release ninjutsu. With a little training, he can become an excellent Chunin."

"Uchiha Homura is relatively intelligent. Her chakra control is quite good, and her genjutsu is very skillful. Although her chakra is slightly insufficient due to her age, and her ninjutsu is also slightly weaker, given time, she is a promising talent."

"As for Uchiha Toshiro, his chakra reserves are already close to those of a Chunin. His Fire Release nature transformation is also quite advanced, and his foundation in taijutsu and swordsmanship is very solid. He has not yet shown any talent in genjutsu, and his hand seals are also outstanding. At such a young age, he can perform hand seals with one hand. Moreover, his tactical arrangements are appropriate, and he is quite decisive. He is an absolute genius."

"That concludes my assessment of the three of them!"

Sitting opposite Uchiha Shigeyama, Uchiha Shigemasa recounted the entire battle in meticulous detail, followed by his assessment of the participants.

Finally, he concluded with a summary.

After listening to his younger brother's story, Uchiha Shigeyama, who had always presented a stiff and rigid face in his forties, couldn't help but show a rare smile.

The birth of a rare genius within the family always fills him with joy and excitement, making him feel that he is one step closer to the family's revival. As for ordinary geniuses, those are only of interest to second- or third-rate families, and the Chiha clan has no shortage of them.

"Fugaku, I remember this child was the first one you met. What was your impression of him? What are your thoughts on him?"

Without offering any opinion, Uchiha Shigeyama turned back to look at his son, on whom he had placed high hopes, wanting to see if he had any unique insights.

Looking at the young man standing beside the office, his posture upright and his face cold and handsome, a strange light flashed in the depths of his deep eyes, which no one could detect.
