Chiba Kawa scrambled and crawled away, dodging the Grand Fireball that devoured his Water Release.
“Fortunately, it’s a Fire Release that can’t burn people to death.”
Chiba Kawa patted his chest, terrified out of his wits upon witnessing such a thing for the first time.
“Hmph, can’t burn people to death?
Grand Fireball Technique!”
Hearing those words, Kiyone let out a cold snort, followed immediately by another Grand Fireball!
“Water Release, Water Formation Wall!”
A wall of water instantly rose in front of Chiba Kawa; since it was already clear he couldn’t win in a jutsu clash, it was better to honestly use a defensive Ninjutsu.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
Amidst the sizzling sounds, the collision of Fire Release and Water Release generated a large amount of water vapor!
In the end, under Chiba Kawa’s horrified gaze, a small portion of the Grand Fireball successfully broke through the Water Formation Wall and hit him!
“Oh my god, I’m on fire!”
The flames ignited Chiba Kawa.
Extremely protective of his life, Chiba Kawa didn’t care about any match anymore and immediately rolled around on the ground, making sure not to get burnt to a crisp.
The fire was extinguished, but he was left looking disheveled and covered in ash.
“He is completely incomparable in Taijutsu, and the difference in Ninjutsu isn’t much, but he is far too inexperienced in combat.”
Kakashi muttered inwardly, feeling a sense of crisis; among his peers, he wasn’t the first!
“Hahaha, good-for-nothing Chiba, now you know how formidable we Uchiha are!
Your Water Release can’t stop our Fire Release!”
Obito was very shocked by Chiba Kawa’s strength, but that didn’t affect anything—he would mock him when it was time to mock.
“Heh, you’re also an Uchiha, so why don’t I experience your prowess?”
Obito immediately shut his mouth, the shattered goggles on top of his head silently recounting the tragedy of the morning.
“Uchiha, you naturally evil girl, stop right there!
That was just my mistake just now.
Let’s do it again, your Grand Fireball can’t hurt me.”
Seeing Uchiha Kiyone pack up her things and prepare to leave, Chiba Kawa immediately panicked; that was just an accident, and he definitely hadn’t lost.
“Fire Release, Grand Fireball Technique!”
After giving him one last Grand Fireball, Uchiha Kiyone quietly turned around and left, looking both beautiful and cool.
Of course, the teacher who had been watching from the sidelines actually knew that Uchiha Kiyone’s Chakra was already depleted…
“Earth Release, Earth Style Wall!”
Looking at the incoming fireball, Chiba Kawa confidently used Earth Style Wall and even carved a “come at me” meme on it!
“You can evaporate my Water Release, but surely you can’t pierce through my Earth Release?”
With a bang!
The exquisite Earth Style Wall was blasted with dense cracks, but the Grand Fireball looked like it had truly been blocked.
“Huff, huff, huff!
Kakashi, quickly pour water on me!”
This time Chiba Kawa didn’t shout at Uchiha anymore, and immediately ran over to Kakashi.
“Are you an idiot?
A huge part of a Fire Release’s damage comes from the heatwave.
Using Water Release to block the flames and steam is the best way to handle it.”
Kakashi said somewhat speechlessly.
It seemed Chiba wasn’t lacking combat experience; he was simply a combat idiot.
He then used Water Release to condense a stream of water to help Chiba cool down.
Chiba was speechless.
Could he say that he learned this from seeing him use Earth Style Wall to block a Grand Fireball in his past life?
But back then, the main body seemed to have burrowed underground long ago!
It seems you really can’t learn just half of something.
“Your combat experience—no, I should say your combat common sense is too weak.
I suggest you carve out some time every day to practice in the future.”
Kakashi looked at Chiba Kawa with burning eyes, as if saying: hurry up and invite him to spar!
A peer slightly stronger than himself was definitely better than having his father feed him moves, as he could at least feel the pressure of a peer at all times!
“Yeah, tomorrow I’ll go find Uchiha Kiyone to fight again.
I definitely have to win it back!”
Chiba Kawa said unconvinced.
He actually still had one Ninjutsu he hadn’t used yet!
Chiba Kawa had extremely high talent in jutsu.
Within a short year, aside from the Three Basic Techniques, he had learned four Ninjutsu—one offensive and one defensive for both Water Release and Earth Release.
His Water Release jutsu were Water Colliding Wave and Water Formation Wall, while his Earth Release jutsu were Earth Style Wall and Rock Fist Technique!
That’s right, it was that signature Ninjutsu of Iwagakure!
A powerful Ninjutsu that was smashed to pieces by a clam with a single strike from the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki!
This incredibly powerful Ninjutsu was actually only rated as a B-rank Ninjutsu, and its learning difficulty wasn’t high, but the Chakra it required was quite substantial.
With the Chakra of a mere Genin right now, Chiba Kawa would have his Chakra almost entirely depleted after using it just once.
Once his Chakra hit rock bottom, there was no room for error in combat.
Therefore, Chiba Kawa hadn’t used it in either of today’s battles, fearing that the moment he used the Rock Fist Technique, his opponent would kite him from afar.
Uchiha Kiyone would be arrogant after winning.
Tomorrow, if he used a provocation method, given the arrogant personality of the Uchiha, she might not run away, and in the end, the arrogant army is bound to fail!
Chiba Kawa nodded knowingly, offering a smile for tomorrow’s bright prospect.
Uchiha Kiyone, I will definitely blow you away!
Kakashi was somewhat speechlessly watching Chiba leave with an inexplicable smile.
No, bro, did you really never think about sparring with me?
I literally just poured water on you!
…
“I’m back.”
Uchiha Kiyone greeted returning home as usual.
“Young Miss, the Third Elder is waiting for you at the training ground.”
The servant stepped forward and said.
“Understood.”
Uchiha Kiyone sensed the Chakra inside her body.
It seemed today’s training would have to be skipped.
Arriving at the training ground, Kiyone found that her grandfather wasn’t warming up as usual, but was instead gazing blankly at the sky.
“Grandpa?”
Uchiha Kiyone said softly.
“Kiyone, Shanyang has sacrificed himself.”
Uchiha Shali said quietly.
This old man who had witnessed the birth of Konoha had lost a lot, and today he had lost his son once again.
Skirmishes were already starting to happen frequently; perhaps before long, war would break out again, and who knew how many familiar faces would be lost by then.
“What, Father too!”
Uchiha Kiyone’s rosy face instantly turned pale.
She seemed like she wanted to say something, but couldn’t say anything at all, tears streaming out uncontrollably.
“Who did this?”
“Sharingan?”
Uchiha Shali saw his granddaughter’s pitch-black pupils turn crimson, with a single tomoe spinning inside.
Without a doubt, this was the Bloodline Limit of their Uchiha Clan—the Sharingan!
“A power awakened through the loss of love.
Truly, as Tobirama said, we are a clan naturally endowed with evil.”
Uchiha Shali thought to himself.
Having witnessed too many awakenings among the Uchiha, Uchiha Shali naturally understood his family’s Bloodline Limit very well.
When losing a beloved person, violent emotional fluctuations would cause an Uchiha to awaken the Sharingan!
However, for Kiyone to unlock the Sharingan at this age, perhaps she had that kind of aptitude!
“It was done by the Third Raikage.
That is not an enemy you can face, even if you reach the Three-Tomoe!”
Uchiha Shali instructed.
After the Uchiha Clan awakens the Sharingan, things like their Chakra volume will increase significantly.
An Uchiha who gains power in an instant is extremely likely to do something irrational.
“Understood.”
Hearing her grandfather’s instructions, Kiyone’s expression gradually calmed down, though the hatred in her eyes never dissipated.
“Right, who did you battle against today?”
Uchiha Shali cared deeply for his granddaughter; the moment they met, he discovered that her Chakra had bottomed out, and she had returned somewhat late.
“I just beat up a harasser.”
Kiyone explained.
