In a small area on the arena, the Uchiha Clan had been arranged to watch the battle.
“Gen intends to wager with them.
This is a good idea; it can reduce the casualties caused by conflict and also demonstrate our strength.”
Through yesterday’s conflict, they could see that although this country consisted only of women, their combat power could not be underestimated.
Furthermore, they had superior numbers.
If the Uchiha Clan clashed with them, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.
If they could resolve it through a wager, it would undoubtedly be very cost-effective.
Even if the other side reneged, they would be wary of their clan’s power and wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
“Snake Princess, do you intend to send this thing out for the first match?”
At this moment, Gen was standing on the arena, facing a giant black panther that was four or five meters tall and six or seven meters long.
“Grrr…”
The black panther looked at Gen as if it had seen a delicious meal, drool uncontrollably leaking from its mouth, which it kept wiping away with the back of its paw.
Boa Hancock sat at the highest position of the arena, legs crossed, looking down at Gen, and said haughtily, “Of course not.
That black panther is named Bacura.
It is a carnivorous beast raised by the empress of this country generation after generation to serve as an executioner.
After an execution, there isn’t even a bone left.”
“Although this Snake Princess agreed to your wager, not just anyone can wager with this Snake Princess.
If you want to wager, show me your true strength.”
“You said it yourself, this is the Warrior Nation, Amazon Lily.
Only the strong are beautiful.
If you can’t even pass this test, then just fight to the death with all your might.
We will see you off.”
Gen smiled helplessly: “You really are a clever little thing.”
“He actually called Snake Princess a clever little thing!”
“Kill him!
Bacura!!”
“A cowardly yet arrogant man!!”
All the women of Amazon Lily watching the battle roared loudly.
Snake Princess was the empress of Amazon Lily and the idol of everyone in Amazon Lily.
For die-hard fans, they wouldn’t allow anyone to say a single bad thing about their idol.
“Bacura!!”
“Grrrrrrr!!!”
The giant black panther roared and charged towards Gen, opening its bloody maw as if to bite Gen to pieces in one go.
Gen just slowly raised his palm: “Stop!”
Suddenly, just as Bacura was about to bite Gen, it slammed on the brakes, its huge body stopping right in front of Gen.
“Shut up!”
Click!
Bacura suddenly shut its mouth.
“Sit!”
Bacura sat down on the arena floor.
“Paw!”
The black panther Bacura quickly placed its right paw into Gen’s palm.
“Spin!”
The black panther Bacura began spinning around frantically in place.
“…”
Throughout the audience, everyone except the Uchiha Clan was stunned.
“Bacura!!
What are you doing?!!”
“Why are you obeying that man’s orders like a pet dog?!”
“How did he do that?!”
The female warriors of Amazon Lily in the audience were all very confused.
“Haha!
Fun!
So fun!
Brother Gen is so amazing!”
Five-year-old Sasuke saw this scene and immediately found it very interesting, clapping his hands in joy.
At this time, Sasuke was still a child growing up in a happy family, kind-hearted, lively, and cheerful, far from the cold and indifferent personality he would have later.
He also liked to visit Gen on normal days because Gen was the strongest in the Uchiha Clan, and he admired him very much.
The corners of the mouths of the Uchiha Clan members couldn’t help but curl into smiles.
Fugaku sighed with emotion: “Gen’s Genjutsu is still as powerful as ever.”
As the head of the Uchiha Clan, he could actually easily control this black panther, but he couldn’t manipulate it as easily and comfortably as Gen did.
As his elder, are you jealous?”
Fugaku’s wife, Mikoto, teased.
“Jealous?
I wouldn’t be so narrow-minded.
The stronger Gen’s strength is, the better.
With him here, perhaps our Uchiha Clan can reach the peak again in the future.”
Fugaku had always wanted to revive the Uchiha Clan; not just him, almost every member of the Uchiha Clan wanted that.
Under Fugaku’s leadership, the Uchiha Clan had revived a little over these years, but they were still too far away from their former peak.
In recent years, because of the suppression by the Konoha higher-ups, the Uchiha Clan had been in a difficult situation.
But he saw the hope of the Uchiha Clan’s revival in Gen, Shisui, and his own son, Itachi.
At this moment, Bang—!!
The black panther’s huge body thudded onto the ground, its eyes already spinning.
Gen looked up at Boa Hancock and said with a smile:
“How about it?
Can we start now?”
Boa Hancock’s expression was somewhat unpleasant; she was so angry she bit her thumb.
The fierce beast she had just spoken of had turned into a pet dog in front of the other party.
This was simply a slap in her face.
“What did you do?”
“What did I do?
It’s simple!
I used Genjutsu to control it.”
“Genjutsu?
Are you a Devil Fruit user?”
“No, this is a special power inherited from the bloodline of our Uchiha Clan.”
“It’s those eyes of yours!!”
Boa Hancock immediately guessed the answer.
Gen smiled and nodded in acknowledgment: “That’s right.
These eyes of mine can hypnotize and use Genjutsu.
As long as you make eye contact with these eyes of mine, you might be controlled by me.”
Everyone who heard this changed their expressions, and their gazes couldn’t help but shift slightly away from Gen.
