Chapter 13: Growth
In the underground chamber of Naka Shrine, within the Uchiha clan's territory, a shirtless man was bound to a wooden stake. His body bore numerous scars, and bloodied whip marks crisscrossed his flesh.
This man was Uchiha Shin.
The one administering his punishment was an Uchiha ninja wearing a ghost mask, an expert in wielding the whip. Each lash was delivered with precision, landing on Uchihata's already battered skin.
In this grim spectacle, there were both tormentors and spectators, all of whom were fellow Uchiha clan members. Every observer present had activated their Sharingan, fixating cold and unforgiving gazes on the suffering Uchiha.
Among them, Uchiha Homura sat, his presence commanding attention. Seated to his left was Chizuru, who concealed her face with a delicate fox mask.
"Master Patriarch, I have erred. Please, I beg for your forgiveness," Uchiha Shin pleaded, his demeanor starkly different from the arrogance he once displayed before the villagers.
Unable to bear the intensifying torture any longer, he confessed his wrongdoing and implored for mercy.
Homura Uchiha asked impassively, "What did you do?"
"I should never have attacked the young Miss. Please, have mercy on me. I will never dare to do it again," Uchihata quickly responded.
Upon hearing these words, the executioner intensified his actions, delivering a merciless strike to one of Shin's most severe injuries, causing him to cry out in agony. The pain was excruciating, rendering him unconscious.
A bucket of water was poured over Shin to revive him.
As he regained consciousness, Shin found himself facing a child donning a fox mask.
Despite the mask, Uchiha Shin recognized the identity of the individual immediately, based on her physique.
It was Uchiha Chizuru, the only young Uchiha permitted to attend gatherings at Naka Shrine.
He believed that if he begged for forgiveness now, this naive girl would surely grant him mercy.
With a sorrowful expression, Uchiha Shin turned to Chizuru and said, "I was wrong, Miss Chizuru. I implore you to forgive me. I acted out of anger and disrespected you. Please grant me your forgiveness, and I promise to follow your orders in the future..."
"I have a question for you. What would you have done to that child if no one had intervened?" Chizuru interjected, her Sharingan eyes locked onto Uchiha Shin eyes.
Shin was momentarily baffled by the seemingly obvious question. Why would Chizuru inquire about something so trivial? After all, the child was an outsider, and if he had chosen to strike him, what was the harm?
He was just a foreign kid, if he hit him, he hit him. what's the big deal ?
Didn't the other party retaliate against him because he did something disrespectful to her?
However, before he could respond, Chizuru uttered a single sentence, "I see. Is this your answer?"
In the next moment, Uchiha Shin felt a searing pain in his chest. He coughed up blood and stared in disbelief at the kunai that had pierced his heart, wielded by Chizuru.
he regret it. why would he dare to defy this demon
As his consciousness faded, he glimpsed a new tomoe forming within Chizuru's Sharingan.
"Even a disgrace tarnishing the clan's honor can feel the sting of death," Chizuru remarked as she gazed at the man, who was succumbing to his remorse.
Despite the anguish she felt, she held no regrets.
The uchiha can't afford to raise beasts.
----------------------------
A month had passed, and in the north of the Uchiha clan's territory, within the training grounds of Konoha, two six-year-old children, a boy, and a girl, engaged in an intense battle.
The boy possessed superior speed, but despite his agility, all of his melee and long-range attacks were deftly avoided or blocked by the girl. His strikes failed to inflict any substantial damage on her.
Utilizing his speed advantage, the boy maintained control over the battle, relentlessly launching attacks that kept the girl on the defensive, preventing her from executing any Ninjutsu techniques.
Throughout the skirmish, the girl remained composed, using her unique double hook Sharingan eyes to analyze the boy's movements. With precision, she evaded or blocked his attacks in advance, refusing to give him an opportunity to harm her.
"You're getting slower," the girl taunted.
In one fluid motion, she sidestepped to evade the boy's punch and swiftly gripped his arm. With a powerful toss, she flung him high into the air.
Then, forming hand seals in an instant, she expelled a massive fireball towards the airborne boy.
"Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu!"
The fireball struck its target, engulfing him in flames. However, when the flames subsided, all that remained was a charred log.
Clearly, the boy had employed a substitution technique at the last moment, replacing himself with the wooden log.
Witnessing this, Chizuru scanned her surroundings with her Sharingan, her eyes with the ability of discerning the chakra flow within others' bodies.
She quickly identified Kirito, hidden in the grass. In response, she hurled two senbon needles towards him.
The sharp projectiles were met with Kirito's kunai, knocking them aside. He then activated his speed boost and darted away.
Chizuru's expression grew intensely focused as she locked her Sharingan gaze onto Kirito, attempting to follow his movements with precision. While her Sharingan allowed her to see him clearly, her body struggled to keep up.
Seem like a lesson uchiha sasuke learned well in the future
In the end, Kirito managed to land a punch on Chizuru.
"Boom!"
Kirito watched as Chizuru was sent soaring into the air, and she transformed into a wooden log upon impact with the ground.
"Let's call it a day," Kirito suggested. "I'm running low on chakra, and your Sharingan is almost spent. How about we call it a draw?"
Chizuru, however, remained unyielding. "Hmph, not a chance. My chakra can sustain the Sharingan for at least another minute or allow me to use the substitution technique twice. I won this match."
"That's not a fair assessment," Kirito retorted. "I still have plenty of chakra left. Even though I can't use my speed boost anymore, I'm still faster than you. I can persist until you can't use the Sharingan any longer. I'm doing this for your own good."
Chizuru dismissed Kirito's proposal with a cold glare from her Sharingan. "Enough talk. Let's continue."
Kirito sighed and shrugged, "If you insist."
With that, they resumed their battle.
A minute later, both lay on the ground, panting heavily. Kirito had multiple senbon needles stuck in his hands and feet, his skin marred by bleeding punctures. Chizuru's arm appeared unnaturally bent.
Despite the rigorous battle, neither of them seemed willing to concede defeat.
"Jerk, you really coated these senbon with paralyzing poison. What's the big idea?" Kirito groaned as the numbness spread rapidly through his injured body, causing his vision to blur.
Chizuru, although grappling with the overwhelming fatigue from her intense chakra expenditure, managed to muster a small smile. She rose to her feet with considerable effort, then lightly pressed her foot onto Kirito's face, saying with a sense of triumph, "This time, I've emerged victorious. Are you ready to admit defeat?"
Praise the devil loli before she step on my face even more
Wait, you what, I..
Hum. Nothing
"Yes, yes, you win. Now please, give me the antidote and some healing," Kirito conceded, eager to relieve the effects of the paralyzing poison.
Kirito reluctantly accepted his defeat, though not without a sense of frustration. Deep within, he harbored a will to surpass Chizuru Again, despite her rapid progress and the evolution of her Sharingan.
I can't be the shame of the system transmigrator club.
"Damn woman, with your Sharingan evolving to the Two Tomoe stage, you've improved so rapidly in such a short time. Just you wait; I'll catch up and take you on one day," Kirito muttered to himself, feeling the sting of defeat.
Over the past month, Chizuru's Sharingan had advanced significantly with the evolution to 2 hook, enhancing her observational abilities. Her chakra had more than doubled in this short period, reaching a level comparable to that of a Chuunin ninja. As a result, her overall strength had undergone substantial growth. In contrast, Kirito had made progress too, but it couldn't match the pace of Chizuru's development. Moreover, due to his limited repertoire of attack techniques and numerous bouts with Chizuru, she often caught him off guard, leaving him at a disadvantage.
Consequently, Kirito's winning streak against her had diminished steadily over the month, resulting in fewer and fewer victories. His frustration grew as his win rate declined.
Nonetheless, Kirito recognized the value of his battles with Chizuru. He trained with her daily, benefiting from the constant challenge and improvement in his combat skills.
With Chizuru receiving daily training and guidance from her Uchiha clan, her combat prowess continued to rise.
"I admit my defeat, now take off your feet from me dammit"
Acknowledging his defeat, Kirito moved away from Chizuru's foot and gestured toward the sky with his uninjured hand. A medic in a white robe appeared at Chizuru's side.
This medic was Uchiha Sakura, exclusively assigned to attend to Chizuru's medical needs.
"Sister Sakura, please detoxify me. I can't feel anything from my head down," Kirito politely requested as soon as Uchiha Sakura arrived.
Since the incident where Chizuru came to his aid, he and Chizuru had grown much closer, often engaging in battle training together over the past month. During these intense training sessions, injuries were common.
It was during this time that Kirito had become interested in medical ninjutsu for the first time.
"Sakura, attend to him," Chizuru instructed Uchiha Sakura.
"Yes, Lady Chizuru, but first, please allow me to heal your wounds," Uchiha Sakura responded with a courteous smile, her attention initially on Chizuru.
As Chizuru's dedicated medical ninja, it was her responsibility to treat Chizuru first.
Chizuru, who had no objections, allowed Uchiha Sakura to attend to her injuries. Under Sakura's skillful care, Chizuru's treatment was swiftly completed, with her injuries properly set and treated.
Watching the healing process with great interest, Kirito observed Uchiha Sakura's abilities closely.
Uchiha Sakura was an exceptional medical ninja with precise chakra control, and she efficiently tended to Chizuru's injuries. She then cautioned, "Lady Chizuru, for the next few days, it would be wise to refrain from overusing this hand."
Acknowledging the advice, Chizuru replied, "I understand."
Seeing that Chizuru wasn't taking her words to heart, Uchiha Sakura wanted to emphasize the importance of rest but was interrupted when she noticed Kirito suddenly fainting.
hum ? so unusual.
"Sakura, what happened to him?" Chizuru was taken aback and asked nervously.
She quickly checked his condition and reassured Chizuru, saying, "There's no need to worry; he's just exhausted and fell asleep."
She heard the insight and saw that Kirito began to make a sound of sound sleep, and soon realized something. the originally closed Sharingan opened again, and she looked at Kirito angrily, all while feeling like punching him awake on impulse, but held herself back, muttering under her breath, "Damn it, you dare to challenge me on this condition..."
Meanwhile, in the senju Clan's territory, inside Nawaki's house, in the study.
Nawaki found himself under the gaze of Mito, who wore a scary gentle smile while looking at him.
He felt a sense of fear as he stammered, "Grandma Mito, I... I didn't know he was using the Shadow Clone technique."
