Naruto: This Uchiha is too Evil - Chapter 4
“Ding!”
In Konoha, within a training ground in the Uchiha clan’s territory.
Two figures crossed paths.
As they landed, they both swiftly flicked their wrists.
Two kunai shot out, clashing against each other with a crisp sound, then rebounding toward the two figures.
The two figures darted forward, grabbing their kunai and crossing paths again.
“Hey! Be careful!”
One of them chuckled softly, his figure fading in place.
The other person’s expression changed slightly, sensing something and swinging his kunai behind him.
“Ding!”
Another crisp sound.
“Huh?”
The disappeared figure reappeared, holding a kunai and blocking the other’s thrust.
The sharp kunai was under twenty centimeters from his body, gleaming coldly.
They stood still, silently grappling for power.
“You’re improving fast. You can already predict my attack trajectory.”
Shisui sighed.
“Hehe, Brother Shisui’s Body Flicker Technique is still so impressive!”
They both withdrew their hands.
Shisui stood silently, gazing at the young ninja before him.
Around twelve or thirteen years old.
Black short hair and black eyes, with delicate features.
Even among the many handsome men and beautiful women of the Uchiha, he was undoubtedly considered handsome.
Moreover, he had his unique tear troughs.
Uchiha Itachi!
Shisui suddenly recalled Itsuki’s evaluation: “There are three people in the Uchiha clan that you would never mistake at first glance.”
The nose, Uchiha Shisui!
The tear troughs, Uchiha Itachi!
The eyes that could scare children…
“Cough, cough!”
Shisui cleared his throat.
How could he think like that? It was too impolite. Was he infected, too? Shisui, be serious!
But!
This damned, inexplicable sense of recognition.
Shisui felt both amused and helpless.
“Brother Shisui, what are you thinking about?” Itachi asked curiously, “Something happy?”
Shisui: “…Are you sure?”
Happy?
To hell with that!
Whenever I think of Itsuki, my scalp itches, and my body twitches as if electrocuted.
Thinking of Itsuki also reminds me of your father!
Happy?
It’s more like worse than crying.
“Hmm?”
“Never mind!” Shisui sighed, “Itachi, I was just thinking about Itsuki.”
“Brother Itsuki?” Itachi’s eyes lit up, “So, did you convince him to join us?”
Uchiha Itsuki, the rising star of the Uchiha clan.
Itachi had heard his father, the clan leader, say that Itsuki was a natural ninja with talents he had never seen in his life and destined to become a pillar of the Uchiha clan.
Such praise was “never seen in his life,” neither Itachi nor Shisui had ever received.
They were also exceptional, having awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan early and becoming Uchiha jonin.
Shisui’s fame spread throughout the Shinobi world.
But!
Within the Uchiha clan, Itsuki was rated higher than Shisui.
He was a monster who had awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan at just over ten years old.
In Itachi’s eyes, anyone qualified to become a pillar of the Uchiha clan could, with some guidance, become a pillar of the village.
Itsuki’s usual attitude and status gave him this confidence.
Shisui sighed, “I was just about to go back and see him. Not long ago, I invited him, and he said he needed to think about it.”
“No problem at all!”
Itachi smiled, “Brother Itsuki is a very gentle person, highly talented, and was even accepted as a disciple by the Sannin.”
“Oh my.”
“Being accepted by those three simultaneously is unique in all of Konoha. The Sannin are also the Hokage’s disciples. He will definitely understand us and join us!”
Itachi’s words were full of admiration, and his eyes were filled with envy.
If he could become a disciple of the Sannin, he could better bridge the gap between the village and the clan and gain the villagers’ acceptance of the Uchiha.
Shisui was stunned.
Being accepted by the three Sannins simultaneously was indeed unique.
But.
Gentle?
Itachi, are you serious?
Are you joking?
Right?!
At this moment, Shisui didn’t even know what expression to make.
“I will… do my best to persuade him!”
The two fell silent.
Shisui felt slightly defeated; his aura deflated, and his hair drooped.
Itachi also sensed something was off.
Brother Shisui’s exaggerated expression was especially bad.
Brother Itsuki is a demon king?
“Itachi!” Shisui suddenly said, “What kind of person do you see Itsuki as?”
“Brother Itsuki?”
Itachi momentarily thought, shaking his head, “I can’t see through Brother Itsuki. His eye power is too profound. Every time I’m in front of him, I feel weak and insignificant.”
“That feeling…” Itachi looked around and whispered, “It’s similar to when I’m with the Hokage.”
“It’s like he’s a towering tree.”
“But!”
Itachi added, “Brother Itsuki has always rejected ‘those people’ within the clan, even fighting them several times. I think he is a inheritor of the Will of Fire, naturally on our side, a comrade.”
Those people, of course, referred to the radical faction, the hawks within the Uchiha clan.
Shisui understood, but he was still stunned.
How could it be?
The latter part of Itachi’s words were not up for comment.
However, the earlier part raised significant concerns.
Itachi, now a Uchiha jonin with the three-tomoe Sharingan, was much stronger than ordinary Konoha jonin and not much weaker than Shisui.
Are you feeling weak and insignificant in front of Itsuki?
Shisui suddenly considered a possibility, his expression becoming more serious.
The biggest difference between the two could only be…
Shisui instinctively covered his eyes.
Like a four-cornered blade, a pattern like a shuriken flashed in his eyes.
Mangekyo Sharingan!
If Itsuki also had the Mangekyo Sharingan… that would be a major variable.
Only those who possess the Mangekyo Sharingan understand its terrifying power.
Especially its unique abilities!
For example, his Mangekyo Sharingan ability, Kotoamatsukami.
It’s known as a direct hit to the soul!
Shisui’s breathing quickened slightly, “Itachi, I’ll go back first. I need to see Itsuki immediately.”
“Brother Shisui…”
Itachi was taken aback.
Shisui simply revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan, knowing Itachi already knew about it.
He whispered, “Hearing what you just said, I suspect Itsuki also has the Mangekyo Sharingan.”
Itachi’s expression also changed, “If so, that indeed makes sense.”
The feeling was similar to when Shisui revealed his Mangekyo Sharingan, except Shisui’s was more gentle while Itsuki’s was intensely aggressive.
“Then I’ll be off!”
Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique and hurriedly left.
Itachi’s brows furrowed with worry.
Mangekyo Sharingan!
Does Itsuki also possess the Mangekyo Sharingan?
If so, recruiting him would be ideal.
But if he refuses, then what?
As he said, he couldn’t see through Itsuki or predict his choices.
…
“La la la la la, I’m a little paper seller…”
In the Uchiha clan territory, at Itsuki’s house.
Joyful singing continuously echoed, accompanied by crackling sounds.
Like a battle!
If anyone asked, Itsuki would earnestly tell them this was called rock!
Holy!
Majestic!
A direct hit to the soul!
The surrounding neighbors.
Either had their doors tightly shut.
Or looked at Itsuki’s house with helpless expressions, faces gray with resignation.
Itsuki and Shisui were the grandsons of Uchiha Kagami.
Even though Kagami’s character was not competitive, their house was still in the core area of the Uchiha territory.
Almost all surrounding them were Uchiha jonin or Uchiha high officials.
But!
Faced with this situation, they had no other choice but to sigh.
They had long been accustomed to Itsuki’s noise attacks.
Oppose?
Protest?
Ha!
Want to know what kind of tormenting little demon Itsuki is?
Look at the Shadow of the Shinobi!
The famous Shadow of the Shinobi almost broke down.
Imagine the tactics; it’s terrifying.
Nowadays, when Danzo hears Itsuki’s name, his first reaction is to come and eat him alive.
Several times, they almost clashed directly, causing major scenes.
In such noise, Shisui returned.
