"Hey, it really brings back memories, the time spent at school here."
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi arrived outside the Ninja Academy, looking at the familiar campus, a trace of nostalgia flashing in their eyes.
"Go, go, go, hurry up!"
"I heard that Uchiha genius, Uchiha Sasuke, is hanging out with the Fox Demon again, going to challenge the genius of the Hyuga family!"
"Haha, they're going to get beaten up again. They deserve it!"
The children in the Ninja Academy did not leave the school after classes ended. Instead, they gathered towards the small playground at the back of the school one by one.
"Tch, that Uchiha Sasuke is such a smug guy, I hate him the most!"
Hearing others discuss his younger brother Uchiha Sasuke like this, a trace of awkwardness flashed across Uchiha Itachi's face.
Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but laugh heartily again.
At the Ninja Academy, being able to hear other children call an Uchiha child "smug" rather than anything else made him feel happy.
If the people of the entire village only thought that the Uchiha clansmen were a bit smug, how good would that be?
"Let's go, let's go, Itachi. I really can't help but want to see what your smug little brother looks like getting beaten up!"
Uchiha Itachi was helpless, but at the same time, he held a trace of anticipation in his heart. He followed Uchiha Shisui, familiarly walking into the interior of the Ninja Academy.
"You two guys, you've lost so many times, yet you still can't see your destiny clearly!"
Hyuga Neji was somewhat annoyed.
Fights between young boys usually didn't involve heavy hands, so there wouldn't be severe injuries.
But Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto were like cockroaches; after being beaten black and blue, they would recover in two days and come back looking for a fight again.
It was simply annoying to death!
"I actually feel that we are looking at your defeated destiny, Hyuga Neji!"
Accompanying Uzumaki Naruto's voice, Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were flickering with moving brilliance.
From being beaten without the power to fight back at the very beginning, to challenging again two days later, he was able to improve significantly compared to the last time, supporting himself through more moves before being defeated.
Coupled with Naruto's encouragement, Sasuke could clearly feel that with every challenge, he was improving.
Every improvement was bringing him one step closer to the goal of defeating Hyuga Neji!
The agitated Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but take a step forward. Standing there, despite the swelling on his face not having fully dissipated, he still had his hands in his pockets, his eyes hidden in the shadows, appearing exceptionally cool.
His entire body was constantly radiating an overwhelming aura of a show-off.
"Hyuga Neji, we can fail hundreds of times, but as long as it's once, as long as we win against you once, you will never be our opponent again!"
Hyuga Neji's body shook, and the surrounding students' bodies froze. Even Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who had rushed over, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised after hearing Uchiha Sasuke's words.
"You... you two!"
Hyuga Neji clenched his fists. Good, very good. Do you two think you can win?
Win once, and never lose to me again?
Naruto saw Hyuga Neji's anger clearly at this moment. This guy was probably going to use a heavy hand today.
Actually, after obtaining 25% of all the power of a Hyuga Branch House member named Hyuga Shiro, including pupil power, Naruto could now defeat Hyuga Neji quite easily.
At the very least, he had one-quarter of the strength of an adult Hyuga Branch House ninja. Seeing through the Gentle Fist of a second-year Ninja Academy student like Hyuga Neji was effortless.
However, he had been accompanying Sasuke this whole time, and he couldn't instantly reveal power that exceeded the village's grasp as the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, so he had been hiding his clumsiness.
Looking at it today, it seemed they were going to get beaten quite badly?
However, surprising Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to have taken medicine today. His entire person was like a tiger descending a mountain, erupting with an extremely powerful aura.
"Hyuga Neji!!!"
"Uchiha Sasuke!!!"
The two most famous geniuses among the younger generation of the Hyuga Clan and the Uchiha Clan erupted into a fierce battle under the gaze of a large number of Ninja Academy students.
Shuriken, Clone Technique, Body Replacement Technique.
Today, Uchiha Sasuke played with these things that Genin had to master as dazzlingly as flowers.
In the past, there was lag, and he couldn't switch between Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Ninja Tools completely without a trace. Now, however, it was incomparable fluid.
Uchiha Sasuke, who previously hadn't made Hyuga Neji feel much of a threat, made people look sideways at the combat power he exploded with today.
"Fast, so fast!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Shuriken forced Hyuga Neji to dodge and maneuver, and Taijutsu attacked Hyuga Neji, making him defend ceaselessly.
In the instant Hyuga Neji found an opportunity to counterattack, Sasuke used the Clone Technique to confuse the opponent's line of sight or used the Body Replacement Technique to dodge his Gentle Fist.
At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke's entire person was fast enough to surprise Hyuga Neji.
"So amazing! Go for it, Sasuke!"
Seeing Uchiha Sasuke's wonderful performance, the girls in the class couldn't help but scream one by one.
Naruto looked at the adrenaline-filled Sasuke, looked around, and after seeing two specific faces, he revealed a look of realization.
So Uchiha Itachi had come; that was what made Uchiha Sasuke so excited.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a burst of exclamations came from the surroundings.
Uzumaki Naruto braced his spirit and looked in Sasuke's direction.
It turned out that the battle between the two of them had reached its most intense level.
"Hyuga Neji, today I am going to defeat you right here!!!"
With the encouragement brought by his brother Uchiha Itachi's presence, Uchiha Sasuke felt unprecedentedly powerful, and his condition was exceptionally good!
Then, unable to hold back, he shouted excitedly and, with immense inflated confidence, took the initiative to close in on Hyuga Neji.
He felt that the opponent's Gentle Fist could no longer threaten him.
This action instantly enraged Hyuga Neji.
Uchiha Sasuke, do you think that because you are improving, you are moving forward?
"Today, I will let you see your destiny more clearly, Uchiha Sasuke. You cannot defeat me!"
Hyuga Neji suddenly accelerated, bursting out with a speed he hadn't revealed when challenged by Sasuke and Naruto in the past few days. He grabbed Sasuke's sweeping calf and pulled him towards himself.
A set of Eight Trigrams Palm point strikes. Pa pa pa, he easily sealed Sasuke's Chakra once again, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
"Da... Damn it!"
He didn't expect that because he was too excited and careless, he forgot about the dominance of the Gentle Fist in close-quarters combat and failed like this.
Uchiha Sasuke lay on the ground. Under the gaze of his brother Uchiha Itachi, he was too embarrassed to stand up.
